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

There's an urban legend about the baby on board stickers being a notification for Ambulance crews that there is a baby in the car, should an accident occur. A lot of people still believe that, so many of those stickers come from that.

Yeah that would be volume, mass and density .... of a brain.

I'd already concluded it might be hydrocephalus based on the bit where it says "the young man had a condition known as hydrocephalus".

"pictures like this can be seen in functioning people, albeit rarely."

Get outta here. Next you'll be telling me a neurologist studied 600 such cases.

I'm sorry but socks with sandals is just not on. 😜

Are they not to alert you of the fact that with small children in the car the driver is unlikely to increase their speed so driving up their arse won't work.

Or the fact that they may need to pull off the road quickly due to child vomiting so if you're driving up their arse it makes the maneuver 100 times more dangerous.

Or in a carpark maybe think twice before you park alongside this car as your own car may get an accidental dent.

Or maybe they are just to say look at me I had sex, woohoo!

Complaining does not equal virtue signalling.

Virtue signalling is saying something for the purpose of appearing virtuous to others. That could include complaining.

But complaining does not have to be virtue signalling if the motivation is not improving one's own appearance.

E.g. 'I wish they hadn't built that school there. It creates traffic and makes my commute longer'

People who say TG Four 👎🏻

But stating you disprove of something because it is the behaviour of morons is very much virtue signalling.

Which is what I said.

This thread is virtue signalling, you might not like that thought because you have associated other connotations with the idea of virtue signalling but what all posters are doing myself included in this thread is very much within the definition of virtue signalling.

Only if you are doing it to create an image.

If you are expressing genuine annoyance without any desire to impress others, it's not.

It annoys me when people say things to portray a false image about themselves. I do not believe that everyone does that whenever they speak.

Oh, your going to guess by beliefs for me are you?

I've often disagreed with someone I believe is genuine, if they've campaigned on a matter for years for example.

There is more complaining than virtue signalling in the thread. In ByTheSea2019's example "I wish they hadn't built that school there. It creates traffic and makes my commute longer" is complaining, when it would be virtue signalling if the person said "E.g. 'I wish they hadn't built that school there. It creates traffic and endangers the lives of the children. Won't somebody please think of the children?!?".

I reckon people are using this thread to vent about the sort of people who they disapprove of or who annoy them, but not for the reason of improving their own stature/status on Boards, signalling that they are virtuous. There are some exceptions, of course.
