You can’t tell when your kid is
lying. Data taken from more than
10,000 instances show adults
could only tell when kids were
lying 47% of the time,
which is no better than
if they had just guessed. Source
My theory is a lot of adults refuse to believe children are capable of lying.
there’s an entire short film about how adults refusing to believe that their kid could lie results in a teacher turning into a killer.
“He said: “There’s an Orwellian concept going on here, where what’s
happening to me and my wife, and they plan to do this with other
governors.“They’re doing this to the business community. Is they’re purging any
dissent on this issue. It’s almost like the George Orwell book 1984,
where if you disagree with big brother, or you go against the thought
police, if you remember that book, you will be purged and you will
disappear.
“They purge you. And my wife, for example, in Charlotte, she
primarily stays in Charlotte. She’s been disinvited to charity events,
and basically, they call her up and they say, ‘you know, you better not
come. You better not come’.”
North Carolina Governor thinks people getting mad at him for being an asshole qualifies as an “Orwellian purge.”
skittycatz said: “I stripped people of their rights and now they’re mad at me and I’m facing some consequences? This is EXACTLY LIKE 1984, which if I remember correctly was a book where mean citizens bullied the poor meek innocent government. I think that’s how it went.”
you shouldn’t have to reveal some deeply personal thing about yourself, especially if it somehow affects your safety, just so that people will listen to you and stop treating you like shit
I started going on tumblr again after several days with little activity. There is a frog on a unicycle now. He is not the smiling frog or the frog sipping tea. He is a new frog. Every day is a new gift.
