Luna Bliss Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Pet Peeve: Not understanding why someone would find it so necessary, would go to such effort, to trash someone who thinks deeply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I see internet "clickbait" articles lately highlighting that Lucy's last few shows in the 1970's were cancelled because by then, she wasn't all that funny. I know, it's frustrating, amounting to a pet peeve, how humans will stop at nothing to try and make someone else bad/wrong. I guess it's the way some attempt to make themselves feel better -- by pointing fingers. My daughter just went through that with my grandson, where some kids were making fun of another and my grandson was trying to make sense of it.

After all, I'm sure that Putin thinks deeply at times, but I'd have no qualms about trashing him, personally. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's good to blame the victim when they are attacked. Society tends to think that -- they see someone charged as guilty and tend to assume they must be! Trial by media -- is a pet peeve of mine, and all too popular these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna Bliss Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Pet Peeve: When I don't like someone, for whatever reason, I don't assume they are to blame for whatever problem I see them involved in.

Personally, if the thinking is "crazy" I don't consider it "deep". Pet Peeve: People talk beyond each other, often not bothering to ascertain clear definitions.

Peeve: The fuzzy line between "deep thinking" and "over-thinking". Peeve: Not knowing if there's a connection between "double-think" and "deep thinking". Peeve: When someone crosses over from "deep thinking" into "being of two minds" about something, they should get a "group discount" for therapy! Peeve: Trying to justify anything and everything. "It was just a thought experiment, I was just thinking out loud!" "Yes, but who thinks out loud about THAT?!?" Peeve: Stinkin' Thinkin'.

Pet Peeve: I believe it is in the brain of the beholder, as to whether they are deep thinking or over-thinking, but some get all judgey and try and tell the speaker what they're doing, and well that's really like psychoanalyzing the thought processes and motivations of the speaker!

Love Zhaoying Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Peeve: Had a growth removed from my noggin' this morning. (First time for that.) The Dermitologist sent it to the lab just in case, but I'll try not to think too deeply about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Peeve: That nearly everyone in the US didn't turn into a zombie at 19:40 GMT today. I was looking forward to a bit of excitement to enliven an otherwise very dull day. Maybe it did turn everyone's SL accounts into bots though? A girl can hope, right? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in awe of how silly people were acting over this, to be honest. 😂 I was hanging out on Twitch at the time it went off (not for me as my phone's battery stays ded - charge my phone? NEVA!), and the streamer's phone went off, chat erupted as theirs all went off, everyone acting silly, streamer starts screaming and writhing, chat starts screaming and spamming dramatic emotes, and hashtags start popping on Twitter, because it was two minutes early. 🤣 Nutty. Everyone's nutty. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolig Loon Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 3 minutes ago, Rat Luv said: What's the zombies at 19.40 thing about? It was 20:20 GMT, actually. And it was a nationwide test of the emergency broadcast system. Broadcast radio does that sort of thing once a month or so, but this time they also did it by mobile phone too, and it was supposed to be more or less simultaneous across the U.S. In fact, though, I heard it on my phone at 20:20 and then heard it again on National Public Radio less than a minute later, and then heard it again from my regional affiliate of NPR another minute after that. We have been fully tested. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Bliss Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I was at a meeting in SL, many with open mics, and you could hear their phones going off all over the place. Some guy started on about a conspiracy while another was trying to shut him up. I had no idea about it all until then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
