Yes, you can. Your elasticity knows no bounds. You are utterly uninhibited by the shame many of my generation feel when we step on our dicks in an argument. I am crippled by a respect for fact and reasoned discussion. I confess and reveal my tragically unhip flaw. I will be the T. rex in the path of a hundred thousand crawling chittering gnawing teeth of the new liberated wisdom: Facts don't matter. It's in what you feeeeel!

I contemplate this and am pleased to be a saurian. Inherit the earth with my blessing; I will be gratefully dead while our planetary mother is drowned in pure unhinged pluralo-organic Feeeeling.

THIS! so well said.

I don't just go on feeling. But I do feel. And feeling is good and important. And so is thinking and logic. I get it. My dad is a chiropractor, and my mom was an RN before turning to alternative medicine. And I have formal education in health sciences.
It is beautiful and heartwarming to see that you have been given excellent resources and privileges toward becoming a sentient. My heart would swell if you began using them. You failed showily in a recent discussion that required the exercise of mentation, but I am not without hope.
The horse may yet sing, and who am I to call the game?

Why thank you. Pet me. I like it. :)

I'm doing well in life.

Feelings are over-rated buttercup, and extremely counter productive and undermining. Feelings are personal only; they are corruptive when institutionalized.
But everyone has feelings, and feelings matter to everyone. We can't ignore feelings. They matter. They don't rule, but they matter.

Okay, I'm diving in:

feelings/facts=apples/oranges. Feelings may be valid, useful and possessed by all (all of which is subjective BTW) but they aren't a substitute for fact. And yes there are instances where feelings must be ignored and only the facts mattered.

Humility is more watered down with each generation

I am really getting scared she is spacing every sentence she types like who shall not be named and ending every post with a smile...she seems to have better prose but still...what do you think?
Oh now you started an irrational fear
From the days of MensaBarbie on, there has been a progression, a crescendo if a certain sort of female poster ... the Board Slut who attracted around her a panty-scent-crazed coterie of sycophants and general tongue-lollers. One would pass on, and the next would arise with even more prurient and blatant manners. We recently detonated one when the holy water grenade hit, and behold how quickly the next one morphs into being. I tells ye, we have a resident pootergeist.

lolly means tongue in Latin so what is a tongue loller? I remeber mensa you guys raped her hard... let the paranoia and fear reign supreme says I and may the innocent be the victims.

Technically tongue = lingua

I demur. Letting the innocent and the victims remain distinct is the point of using our superpowers for good, or for pretty good.
right you are dont know why latin came out of me

“The lascivious lolly-gagging lumps of licentiousness who disgrace the common decencies of life by their love-sick fawnings at our public dances”. Jonathon Green, in his Cassell Dictionary of Slang, suggests it may come from a dialect word lolly, meaning “tongue”. If it is, then it’s a close relative of lollipop, which is also thought to come from the same source. Another spelling of the word is lallygag
