Speaking for a friend,

“We won in auto racing, because we were always on the lookout for somebody who had an idea, regardless of the many tongue waggers who constantly “assessed” what they called, “personality inventories” - that are letters or numbers presented as guides. We wanted to meet with the holder of the idea, and work on it.”

“Once, for a brief period of success, we machined dimples into the sides of engine pistons, and we placed ‘TEFLON’ buttons in those depressions. After a few winning races, our competitors demanded a teardown. The sanctioning body made a new rule, banning the technique.”

I thought data was plural. Is datum the singular, or do I have it backwards?

Arrogant and woke.

The article is actually a parody of itself.

““2. They talk about articles having only seen the headline.”
Never heard of that before, especially here!”

Yep. LOL

Embracing change is a dubious. I’ve had progressives say the no change mantra of me when I oppose homosexuality or genderism.

Change for change’s sake, because it is popular, is moronic.

I hated Bill Clinton calling his buddies change makers all the time. This dumbassery must have tested well in Dems focus groups.

Low information voters loved it!

“change makers”

A common “feature” of liberals: Obsessed with correlating motivation and personality.

“...and they put “an” in front of words starting with the letter h.”

But, but, but, putting the word, “an,” in front of the words which begin with the letter, “h” is, in fact, correct English! ;-)

Try to keep in touch with your supposed native language, huh? ;-)
