the ability of the human mind to delude itself is incredible to me and I'd like to know the science behind it. For several years, in my thirties, after I gained eighty pounds, I couldn't figure out why I wasn't meeting many girls. Then it hit me. I'm a whale!! lol. But for those few years I thought I looked fine.
Liberals really think they are the heroes of the downtrodden and see no inconsistencies or hypocrisy. It's like a mental disorder.
