and your bullshit is torrential
You completely trash this thread. Iâm taking over.
I was reading Morning Brew and just wanted to share this really nice article and the Editors opinion.
EDITORâS NOTE
Good morning. A popular piece of advice is to stop caring about what other people think because âno one is thinking about you.â Sounds great in theory, butâŚthe truth is, everyone is thinking about you.
New research shows that people consistently underestimate how much others think about them following conversations. The studyâs authors call this the âthought gapââwe are so consumed by our own reflections that we fail to consider that our conversation partners are doing the same thing.
These results jibe with another study about how people fail to recognize the extent to which others observe them in public. In other words, when it comes to people-watching, you are the people being watched. Someone on a park bench has almost certainly crafted an intricate backstory for you.
Freaked out a little? Donât be. The final thing people underestimate, research shows, is how much others like them (aka the âliking gapâ). So, if we were to tweak the advice at the top a bit, we should probably still not care what people think, and instead take comfort in knowing that people are actually thinking about us, most often in a positive light. Which is nice to know.

tell him about farley mowat
he canât endure that
Who didnât?
Who doesnât?
Thatâs because they are entertaining.
Who is Farley Mowat anyway?
Who can?
Hereâs what I donât like about talking to you. If I donât tell you exactly what you expect me to say, you just ignore my reply all together. Thatâs the difference between you and Will. Thatâs what makes ignoring you easier.
I donât know the context for reasons you know, but I can tell you that Farlay Mowat was a Canadian writer of some repute. I read one of his books once when I was a kid. Never Cry Wolf. It was silly nonsense but I enjoyed it at the time.
Iâll go read his Wikipage.
Mowatâs advocacy for environmental causesearned him praise, but his admission, after some of his booksâ claims had been debunked, that he ânever let the facts get in the way of the truthâ [4] earned harsh criticism: âfew readers remain neutralâ.[2] Descriptions of Mowat refer to his âcommitment to idealsâ and âpoetic descriptions and vivid imagesâ as well as his strong antipathies, which provoke âridicule, lampoons and, at times, evangelical condemnationâ.
Seems like I read this the other day. I suppose I should read a book before speaking about him but Iâm gathering that he was ridiculed for telling the truth? I donât know what facts were debunked so I guess I canât speak on it.
No, he was ridiculed for lying, and then saying he didnât care if what he said was inaccurate.
Oh, so what did he not care that he was in accurate about?
Itâs in your own link about Farlay Mowat. He wrote a book about the environment. People pointed out it was full of crap, with tons of factual errors. Not only did he not apologize, he doubled down and said that he didnât care about facts. He is not unlike Trump that way.
He also lied about speaking the Inuit language. When he met Inuits, he could barely speak a word.
His most famous book, Never Cry Wolf, has been criticized heavily for being factually absurd and full of errors despite Mowat presenting it as truth.
In general, he was a clown who played fast and loose with the truth. Everyone makes errors but he didnât admit them when he was wrong, and just carried on spreading the lies.
delicious
for people who read books instead of articles
in âhigh latitudeâ, mowat lists his expidition members
a translator
a pilot
a mechanic for the plane
his wife at the start of the trip
and some other guy i gather was a friend
he tours the devastation that is english rule
and reports what he sees
He stated it was subjective non-fiction.
It must be the truth if Duncan Pryde said it. He would certainly be speaking from a place of authority since his expertise included bedding down all the Inuit women.
He should have written about Pit bulls.
Youâre certainly entitled to that opinion. He addressed the critics and no man should have to apologize for their work just because someone else judged it untruthful or misleading.
those people also pointed out that your inauguration was the most well attended ever
on page 4 of âhigh latitudesâ we find the following-
i called pete murdoch and invited him to join me.
pete was the inuit speaker
if he lied he must have stopped before 1966, donnie
lucky thing for the canadian aborigines that england practiced in australia
many people say
