Another fun one. Geese are a gaggle.

If you can't see how making a statement about my intentions is not akin to conversation I dont know how to explain it to you either. We will just be making statements at each other deciding what the other person "knows" by our own personal biases.

I thought this was a fun idea to give a group name such as we apply to other groups of animals. It is a shower thought, one that is not fully formed and spawned from boredom, not malice.

People rightfully pointed out that gossip is not alone to a group but I am still trying to find a group that it could be a fun title for. Language changes. Should I still be upset that the LGBTQ community adopted queer, as its an insult sometimes and says that people are sometimes unusual or let the phrase exist as something that people identify with.

I will leave you with this... Its not an insult to gossip.

Yeah I thought of whether I would say just a group of teenagers in general would be called a gossip since they all do it but thought Chad was funny.

Someone else suggested a Mayhem which is better.

No. Just groups of animals get called cool names, and humans dont get that as often just rude ones.

What's wrong with gossip?

Oh man that is way better. A mayhem is great.

I have realized what the problem is with vacations:
We no longer take off as part of a giant team that continues without us letting us just jump back in when back but for a lot of us it simply pauses our work without pausing the buildup.

There's not a casual getaway its a calculated loss or later tension and math quiz on whether it is worth it.

Thats literally the wrong way to lose stress.

You think Marx would waste the brandy?!

I trust Trump to do whatever makes him have more wealth and power and its easy to see how he would use this to claw at both.

You had to organize to meet a place and time. It wasnt just spur of the moment to moment decisions with easy communication.

It meant you actually had to plan and going places was a bit more like a quest and you had to consider other people into your plans.

Maybe it is a great way to distract those that are dying.
"Why is that sign they put up all wonky" instead of
"Oh god I see the spectre of death and he has a ball gag!"

"Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift. We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another. We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.

Hmm... There was a comic about women and serial killers that got me started thinking about this but...

Do you think both genders are being sold on extremes of the other that might be skewing our ability to interact rationally?

Like women being sold extremes of men abusiveness and cults and rapists and men on stingy or "slutty" women. And now both genders are spending less time with each other and more with internalized extreme versions of each other?

It's like maybe a symptom of a lack of social spaces or maybe just leads to less of them as people only feel comfortable in closed groups. I'm thinking we are all being taken for a ride.
Or people are way worse than I can consider.
