Do You Have a Moron-Deal Breaker Point of Reference with people?

If someone looks down their nose at someone else because they believe in a religion, then they instantly drop in my estimation as well.

Not religious myself but would never judge someone for being. It can be a great comfort in times of hardship or loss

People who write 'could of'. Automatically filed under Dimbat.

People who only want to talk about themselves. Lots of those around.

I would be anti religious, my girlfriend and family all are and I respect that and what they get from it..

the problem is religion looks down on a lot of other people and has indeed persecuted people for not being in adherence to its beliefs and values… so I look down on religion as opposed to people who believe in it.

That's an interesting one. I seen and I done are pretty reliable indicators of education level, but I wouldn't have thought they indicated how easily influenced the person is.

Sounds like a bit of a leap, but might be have some logic to it. I wouldn't consider it reliable though. Someone could use i seen and i done and be clever, just unlikely to be highly educated.

I don't know. I'd see the regional manager example of trying to tailor the message to the audience rather than her being influenced by the audience. I wouldn't do that myself, but I think we all do it in different ways.

For example, I've worked in England. I never changed my accent one bit, but I annunciate more deliberately in England because otherwise i spend too much time repeating myself or not being fully understood. I'd see it as the same thing. If that manager had some insights or mistakenly thinks the message is better understood when she uses seen and done, then fair enough. Communication is about being understood (amongst other things).

If we assume the guard uses seen and done, then there might be advantages in communicating that way. I wouldn't do it, but I would assume it's tailoring the message to the audience rather then the other way around.

Trilby or Fedora?

Covid conspiracy theorists and rabid antivaxers.

I don't share many of the opinions here for people that seems to take a pride in telling others they're not religious.

I admire people that have a quiet faith. Not to be confused with organised religion and the bat **** crazy elements of it.

I think the biggest sign of a moron is someones that thinks they know everything.

Einstein himself said feels like a child collecting grains of sand on the beach. There's so much more to know about everything. So bar talk about covid and vaccines, the war in Ukraine and the solution to the housing crisis and all politicians are corrupt are moron beacons

Well, to be fair you've misinterpreted whatever said in 2 instances there. I deliberately changed the warning spoke in England to tailor the speech to the audience nd overcome the barrier of being understood first time. That's not a casenof me being easily influenced by the English, its just me trying to get the best outcome from the communication.

If the manager thought they were overcoming a barrier (e.g. different in work status) by using the words the guard uses, then it's the same thing. Not suggesting the guard won't understand 'I did' instead of 'I done' but that using someone else's terms is demonstrated to have better outcomes, all other things being equal and as long as its not hammed-up.

Low and behold?

Quick Google search suggests it came from part of the gestalt movement of looking at whole systems rather than discrete parts. Isn't that pretty much how it's used now? What am I missing?

Another circular logic fallacy.

This whole thread is about posters virtue signalling. I mean complaining about things we think morons do is nearly the definition of virtue signalling.

1. the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
2. "it's noticeable how often virtue signalling consists of saying you hate things"
