Anonymous Coward User ID: 72568602 United States 02/10/2019 03:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I deal with A LOT of people during the week. And suddenly out of NO where and i have NO idea Why. I get this thought: Quoting: RichardHead "Dick from now on when you are speaking with people, just shut the fuck UP and let them talk as long as they want AND even when you think they are finished allow some space for uncomfortable silence to make sure they are finished. When and if you decide to interject anything temper what and how much you do interject as they dont care and stick with it." So earlier today as i was battling over on my Game of thrones thread. A biz associate calls and i begin said discipline. He literally talks for 1 hour and 50 minutes. It is probably the most eye opening conversation i have had with him since we have met and mutually discovered interests that i had NO CLUE existed. HE even said, WOW< this has been enlightening. BOOM !!! I love it...and i recommend it. Ha ha! You let someone talk to you for almost 2 hours straight! |

Quoting: BFD People are typically bad conversationalists and really have no interest in what anyone says because it might conflict with their programming and create cognitive dissonance. I heard it said. "Human nature is to be cruel and arrogant, so why are you so surprised when people are cruel and arrogant?" that helps me on GLP and YES To everything you typed BFD! Roman Stone |

They love talking about themselves. I applied that to dating. Been married more than three decades, now. Every evening, I’d ask him questions and just listen. Now that he is retired, I spend lots of time just listening. Damn. He talks a lot. Lol. But, I’m grateful. . |

The stupid piece of shit is spending all that energy flapping his jaw to show you how stupid he is. SpamSpamSignatureSpamSpam Force Ghost Void God Zombie Wookie King From Beyond The Stars - Also I'm modest and understated. "Those who know, don't teach. Those who teach, are fucking with you." "When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him." Jonathan Swift "Whenever possible be more compassionate. It is always possible to be more compassionate." "Four hearts combined are one." "There is a reason we use brains for thinking and concrete for sidewalks." "God is love. All you need is love...and GALAXY BLASTING SPACE WEAPONS." (I knew there was something wrong with this one, it just took me a while to figure it out) "Women are evil, men are dumb, somebody pissed in the beer." "The thing about smart people is: they seem like crazy people... to dumb people." "He who says it cannot be done should not interrupt he who is doing it." "Humanity has driven off the cliff, now the military is holding their hands over our eyes so we don't see the ground coming." "Some of what you read is wrong because the people who wrote it also did not have a very good education and were groping around in the dark when they wrote it. Lets thank them for trying because without people like them we would have a lot more groping to do in a much darker world" |
