RE: You can write for #informationwar....easily and on a format...kick that writer's block in the junk!
I got so far into academic writing that even the professors couldn't follow it. I was having difficulty interacting with people in everyday life. So now I've "trained" myself to always consider my audience- it doesn't do any good to tell someone something if they don't understand what you're talking about... it kinda defeats the purpose of language. (I'm also much happier). In my writing I don't focus so much on "proving" what I say- what I write about is almost all based on over 20 years of research and experience, so I'm pretty certain of the veracity. I just make sure to keep it understandable.
Someone on here yesterday wrote a post about Electrum's security protocol being breached (thank God I saw it). I upgraded my wallet. It said that the password protected wallets weren't hit YET.
I've been doing kind of a paleo diet (rib eyes) and talking berberine which is supposed to be a miracle supplement as far as blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides go. I have diabetes and haven't had to take but 1 shot in over a month.
the language of academics can be addictive, the multi-syllable, pseudocognitive, thieve's cants of researchers (but particularly in social "science" researchers)has a rythm of it's own. I fell into the same trap
I wish I did, I still drop into Professor Steve mode more often than I should to tell folks what I'm gonna tell em.
rib eyes....mmmmmmmmmmm
couldn't help myself
good to know you're doing better!
I've become an acolyte of Occam's Razor and, of course, as you know Andrzejewski's Law.
And those steaks are ruined... Burnt to death. "We have a name for that where I come from- shoe leather!"
my brother does an orange juice, brown sugar, soy rub that always looks burnt, but damn it good
Google it and look who you find lol! You did it before. "Verbiage increases to the extent that ambition exceeds knowledge."
I do a variation on Black Forest steak... I put a pat of butter, about 1 tsp of whutsdishere sauce, and 2-3 tbsp maple syrup and microwave for about 35-40 secs (until butter melts) and pour it over the steak... It makes a great dipping sauce.
dint see anything under "Andrzejewski's Law." but I did find the others by searching the quote
and that steak sauce looks damn good. gonna try it!
Ah, the art of creative bullshitting- that sounds remotely familiar! And my friend Charles Sykes- he was instrumental in my growth as a Conservative.
I have a copy of dumbing down our kids in my database...I will probably never read it...to much on the que before that
Can't believe that Sykes spelled his name wrong! If you want a hoot, check out Sykes' "A Nation of Victims" NOBODY is responsible for what they do. There's another book called The Excuse Factory- I forgot who wrote it- It's probably on that floppy I sent, I'm sure I quoted it.
There's one story in Nation of Victims about a flasher who applied for a job as a park attendant in Madison WI (working with kids),. Of course he was turned down- having flashed in excess of 40,000 times and getting caught 40 or 50. The WI Sup Ct held that because he only flashed in libraries & laundromats (places starting with an L) his civil rights had been violated... he got the job and a handsome cash settlement!
