Instead of making assumptions, why don’t you actually figure out how things work?

Don’t make judgements without the proper knowledge of what you’re actually judging.

I live near railroad tracks, so it begs the question, do I live on the right or wrong side of the tracks? 

Why is “love thy neighbor” often dismissed by those who profess faith?

If you have to do something twice that can easily be accomplished once, you need more than just help.

Many employees don’t want to venture beyond their little bubble, they’d rather bang their head against a wall instead of trying.

Their disconnect from reality and their photoshop delusions are amazing.

It has a lot more to say 2+ years later, it’s evolving I suppose.  We shall try this again in a couple of years. 

Sometimes a bad outcome can be a good thing.

They broke it so badly that business as usual is near impossible now.

I found some chicken in my noodle soup.

You’re basically a good person with the wrong attitude.

Why are you expressing an opinion no one asked for.

No reward without paperwork.

This place and this situation has created the need for it to be put into the rearview mirror.

Instead of running late, perhaps you could run early?

I don’t need a new beginning, I need an old end.

You don’t always get to do what you wanna do, often you have to deal with the disappointment.

When I go, I want to fade into oblivion, rarely to be reflected upon at my Cabin In The Woods.

It’s easy to be done with it, especially when I never wanted to do it to begin with.

I caught myself walking around with my zipper down, again, isn’t that a sign of high intelligence?

It’s (not) funny when the majority wants to be heard.

I don’t want rich flavored chocolate, I want poor flavored chocolate.

I’m just full of shit today and it wants out.

They looked at the group and said, don’t be stupid, not taking into consideration that’s pretty hard for many.

It’s not a matter of laziness as much as we just don’t care.

Say you grow up to do something remarkable and the town you grew up in wants to honor you by renaming the street you were raised on.  What if your last name happens to be Street?  Do they drop the original name and just call it Street Street, Street Ave or just plain Street?  Something to think about.

They maybe woke, but you’re still an idiot.

No matter how much things change, my lack of funds, is still the same.

I don’t want to man up, I wanna lie down.

There is fucking up and then there’s what they’re doing.

I wish they’d stop trying to diagnose my medical aliments via Alexa.

My wife asked me to buy a spray to take  care of her pain.  I advised her no matter how much of it she sprayed on me, I’m still going to be a pain.

It’s not considered top of the line and is barely near the line.

It’s easier to bullshit than to actually do it.

You can insist all you want, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.  Like my Cabin In The Woods.

They think they have honor, but their honor is based on the detriment of others.

If I throw it out, it’ll all be wasted, if I attempt to make use of some of it, then only some will be wasted.

Saying something is everybody’s dream is a little too broad a statement.

Don’t they know who I an’t!

I want to go to a place where no one thinks they’re important.

You can’t keep poking the irrational bear and then be surprised when it lashes out, there’s no logic going on there other than self-preservation.

It’s called surviving and not thriving for a reason.

There’s always some asshole who’ll enforce stupid ideas for the feeling of importance and power.

The best kind of work meeting is the one you’re not invited to.

There’s constructive criticism and then there’s what they’re doing and there’s nothing constructive about it.

You’re all about show, not about substance.

There’s getting drunk and then there’s getting drunk on an idea.  While both are intoxicating, the one thing they have in common is that neither one in the end turns out to be good for you. 

They rate an idiot because they grab onto something, no matter how preposterous and wrong.  They then keep pushing it as if it’s a fact.  Thusly ignoring the reality of what the information really means.

Some people would rather play the game than think about the consequences of that game. 

If you go through life thinking everything is flat, the bumps are really going to jar you.

It doesn’t matter that somebody has a different world view than you.  It’s doesn’t matter if you think it’s right or wrong.  All that matters is that it’s their own view and it’s not up to you to change it.

You all had fantasies about what this person was going to do for you.  Now there’s the reality of what they are actually doing and now buyer’s remorse is sinking in, for you’re getting shit.

Can you please stop reciting someone else’s talking points and think for yourself.

I’m not here to impress you, so fuck off!

The situation felt like it was heading somewhere good, then it wasn’t.

Sorry it’s only available as is, not as wanted.

I asked you three questions, I got one answer, interesting.

A fool is often overconfident in their delusions.

I’m not going to stop using it cause some dumbass has an agenda that’s not based in reality and thinks it should be eliminated. 

Don’t you love it when someone makes a sweeping generalization about a situation showing they really don’t understand it or what their talking about.

How can you know where I am when I don’t even know where I am?

I’d like to think I’m confident, but please don’t ask others. 

They like to say knowledge is power, but sometimes too much knowledge just becomes gibberish. 

Someone asked me what I do for a living and I responded, if you don’t know, dam if I do.

You’re overwhelmed and I’m just annoyed by the situation, so, you win.

It’s one for you and all for me. 

Buying into a person being a something as opposed to a someone is how you justify your actions.

What you wouldn’t do, I would, so let’s go from there.

It’s not about providing a service, it’s about amassing power.

It’s all okay that it’s happening until it affects you directly.

If you’re making a statement that they will be treated with dignity, that’s probably not going to be the case.  Dignity is something you give people, not something you promise in a statement.

Just because you tell a lie with conviction, doesn’t automatically make it true.

They have a shared belief that their delusions are real.

I can do anything I want, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be repercussions.

Anybody can create something, however, will anybody actually want it.  This is where a Cabin In The Woods  comes in handy.

I went to assemble a lamp today and I couldn’t because I have hard wood floors.

Stupid = Stupid.  It can’t be improved upon.

I don’t want to push through it, I just wanna roll over and go back to sleep.

I advised a patient that I couldn’t discuss results with them.  They responded they didn’t want to discuss their results, they just wanted to discuss the nuances of the results, sorry, same thing. 

I know it’s supposed to look futuristic, however, if that’s the future, people of the future have no taste.

I’m making an assumption as to what’s going on since I don’t have any real information and I’m telling the world my baseless beliefs.  This is an example of what’s wrong right now.

Their “best guess” is better than your “known fact”.

Yes, the bag for the sample was marked as frozen, but upon inspection, it wasn’t.  So it’s kind of like saying, I can’t be out of money, I still have checks. 

This blog currently has no fans, so does that matter?

So recently an individual made a stupid statement and when asked why they believe that to be true, they responded because they have “common sense”.  Yeah I don’t think so, they haven’t demonstrate it at all.

I don’t want top of the line.  I want best of the bottom.

I’m still going to listen to their music, even if they were dupped in their politics, nobody is perfect.

I thought it would never end and then one day, it was over.

If you have large expectations, then there’s no chance you’ll be disappointed.

You expect I should reward your bad behavior, that’s funny.

I gave somebody a cup of eternal life.  Of course it was empty, that was the point.

I had a person call about a test that we canceled and as far as they were concerned, it was just a “new way of laziness”, perhaps, but maybe not.

I’m not saying I’m right, I’m just saying I’m not that stupid.

Sorry, but that’s a temporary reprieve from the inevitable.

A lot of ego going on there, but not much common sense.

Life will move on and if you don’t go with it, you’ll be left behind.

When there’s a void of reliable information, people just fill it in with any shit they come up with.  When they do, that’s when I’m off to my Cabin In The Woods.
