| A very common phrase across the internet is TMI, or too much info. There's no such thing as TMI. This is a long standing part of social constructs that leads us to believe that if no one sees us shitting, we are perfect, but everybody shits. If you shit in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, it still does happen. Everyone shits with their pants down, and those who don't, well, those are the people we should feel the utmost sympathy for. Because even the most arrogant jackass in the world will one day die, losing control of their bowels and shit in their pants. Thus goes the imperfect life of the imperfect human being. | |

| Yes, life, one big search for scatalogical gratification. Pleased to be your psychological proctologist. | |

| I knew you'd go there. I did take Developmental Psych. But seriously, all I ever see on forums and blogs across the net is folk talking about shit, looking for everybody else to say their shit smells good. And then they smell somebody else's shit and they act like that shit smells. Folk are so judgmental of anything they can't fully relate to or anything that isn't perceived as cool or the "in" topic to discuss. I think everyone is a herb on some level. Which all goes back to tribalism. - Quote :
- According to a study by Robin Dunbar at the University of Liverpool, primate brain size is determined by social group size. Dunbar's conclusion was that the human brain can only really understand a maximum of 150 individuals as fully developed, complex people (see Dunbar's number). Malcolm Gladwell expanded on this conclusion sociologically in his book, The Tipping Point. According to these studies, then, "tribalism" is in some sense an inescapable fact of human neurology, simply because the human brain is not adapted to working with large populations. Beyond 150, the human brain must resort to some combination of hierarchical schemes, stereotypes, and other simplified models in order to understand so many people.

- Usually I hate going into religious places or get to gethers where there's fundamental people, it is too hard for me to act normal so inevitably stick out like a sore thumb.
But when ya think about it, gods or God have been around since the beginning of time and they've seen it all. There's folk who actually pray on the toilet, which I never quite understood. But if there are gods, they pretty much decided how we rid of our waste. If it bothered them so much, they would have made it smell like patchouli to begin with. | |

| My best friend had to share with me the details of lancing a boil on her boyfriend's back a few weeks ago. I twitched. Luckily I wasn't eating at the time so the lancing-pus-blood stuff wasn't TMI.
No, the time I overheard a cyclist in front of Stabucks run down the details of a saddle sore on her lady parts, and how it burst on a long distance ride, then scrubbing out the dried out pus and blood in the hotel washroom that night? That was yucky and I was eating (or trying to) eat a cookie. I'd register that as a "TMI while Eating". | |

I dunno the latter much but you kinda remind me slightly of an American older version of myself haha. bahahahaha crude jokes are the best, I can't imagine being traditional, would rebel and be wayyyyy TMI so much so that it would be like zomg wtf. I was listening to the TV in the background yesterday I think it was and there was a sort of documentary, Katy Perry's parents were apparently incredibly strict and wouldn't let her watch the Smurfs or go to the dentist and frowned upon her I kissed A Girl song. Don't think it is possible to imagine childhood without the Smurfs, how dreadful. In her case though I think it helped her to be raised in an odd way. I just thought that's amazing, kudos to her! Sometimes I sing that song or Kings of Leon's Sex on Fire just to freak people out or get them confused. | |

I had lunch and a long long conversation with Kevin Spacey recently. Does that count? | |
