    Not quite true. Lots of behaviours are instinctual (swimming babies, suckling, grip-reflex etc).

    Lots more that that. Twin studies of monozygotic twins show strong correlations in belief systems and behaviour even when brought up in separate environments. Closer than siblings brought up together.

    Barely There

    I was on the M4 a few months back. I was in the overtaking lane and there was a line of cars on the inside lane. A few hundred yards up the road i could see a car stopped in the hard shoulder (which is dangerous on its own account).
    Anyhow, as we are approaching the parked car, the vehicle at the top of the queue on the inside lane starts drifting over into the hard shoulder.
    I'm thinking 'WTF!, does he not see the parked car!'
    I start to ease off.
    The guy on the inside lane has both his inner wheels inside the hard shoulder and thunders past the guy who is parked. I literally wince at how close he has come to hitting him - there seems to be only bare inches between the two cars when they pass.

    A few hundred yards up the road I overtake the guy. I glance over and he has his phone propped up on the steering wheel in landscape mode and is merrily tapping away on it.

    Doesn't even realise how close he's come to killing himself, the parked guy and probably a few other people as well.

    Wise I'd taken his reg. number and called the Guards (on handsfree).

    Oh look I'm doing something, I lack the intelligence or self awareness to understand that my fascination with me isn't universal so I'll take a photo of myself doing something banal & run of the mill to show to as many people as I can.

    Me me me me whap crash bang. The herd is thinned.

    For morons the word 'selfie' is now interchangeable with the word 'photograph'

    No it's not it's you taking a picture of yourself not another person taking it. Hence Self....
    NOUN (plural selfies)

    A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website:

    If you follow the reply chain back then you can see that's not what is being discussed. Any photograph shared on social media is called a selfie these days. And even if you take one of more that one person it's called a selfie. Like the oscars.

    It's weird that she felt she had to take a picture of herself being happy and upload it to Facepuke to validate her happiness.

    Sure ye can't be happy today without pictorial evidence to prove it!

    Sad sad thing to happen though, even if she should have known better.

    It was a stupid thing to do but she paid the ultimate price which she didn't deserve. RIP.

    Go back and read what I was referencing... The paper said she was taking a selfie of herself. As per its definition a selfie has to be of oneself so I put out the idea that for stupid people the word selfie was now interchangeable with the word photograph.
