You ever see a dog that’s got its leash tangled the long way round a table leg, and it just cannot grasp what the problem is or how to fix it? It can see all the components laid out in front of it, but it’s never going to make the connection....
As funny as this is, I concur. Also… why were they taking a picture? Kinda concerns me that they may have intentionally pushed the box top over to tip the cat
You sound like you’re way smarter than I am, but I can absolutely relate to bordom=pain.
I’m constantly learning new things, or delving deeper into subjects I’m already familiar with. I can’t help it. My brain won’t have it any other way (otherwise I get destructive)
That was my thought as well. I’ve seen what some homeless people are capable of. (Not trying to dump on unhoused people, here, but there are some seriously ill people left out on the streets). This glass needs to be nearly unbreakable for it to work
Yeah, the purpose of the label is entirely defeated here, because almost everything has a label on it. I’m waiting for the day they have planes fly over with banners reading “breathing this air has been known to the state of California to cause birth defects and cancer”
They key is to do both. Listen intentently, respond with something like “wow that sucks, would you like a hug?” And then while hugging say something like “is there anything I can do to help you with this?”
That’s what will give you your answer. If she says “no” then just let it be. If she says “I don’t know” help to guide her to the solution. Ask “what do you think could be done to make it better?” And let the pieces fall in place.
Even if you know the answer, it’s better to let people come up with it on their own. They’ll feel understood and empowered, and you won’t get shit on for being calous. Everyone wins
I’m curious to know what your degree is in. I’m not disagreeing with you, but I think many young people are mislead into believing that just getting a degree will be a ticket to financial freedom, but what type of degree a person gets does matter
My husband pointed out that certain items like sneakers, backpacks and scrubs are either unisex or women’s. Many other items are that way, too. A men’s watch might be large on a woman’s wrist but no-one would really think twice. A tiny pink watch on a man’s wrist would likely garner more attention (depending on where you are in the western world, of course)
If it makes anyone feel any better, those being eaten are often sicker, weaker, and/or older than the rest (which makes them easier for the predator to capture and strengthens the heard by removing the unfit who continue to consume if not taken out)
It’s sad, yes, but it’s how life on earth has evolved. We all need a source of energy. Life is as brutal as it is beautiful
What's the simplest thing humans are too dumb to grasp?
