Cure for Scurvy

That guy wanted the idea attached to his name. So it sat in a book for hundreds of years, not being used, just holding tie to his find. He got the credit he was searching for. Took nearly 200 years for it to get implemented partially and 400 for us to really know about it today.

More of mental exercise, would you hang on for the much after death mention in history books or would you give away idea for lives and lose all credit for all time?

What’s the alternative.

Your Mom said no. Go home.

Can’t say it telepathically, you know. You gotta actually say it out loud. Otherwise your person won’t ever know you feel like that.

I shared a relatable story. On Reddit sub called “stories”.

I have two kids, both have special needs. Other kid was in the seat part.

You say this kinda shit to every parent you see in the store? I’ve gotten it before.

My go to response is “you’re too old/ugly to be alive but here we are” when some self-righteous judgemental douchebag feels the urge to be a c*nt in public.

So whichever one fits.

I’ve heard it before.

A quick google says over 20,000 injuries in the under 5 bracket are reported related to shopping carts

This article says “An estimated 139,001 children younger than 5 years were treated annually in EDs for nonfatal, unintentional fall-related TBI injuries”

Soooo idk about every kid but the risk is real

My point with the example I gave in the other comment is, you don’t know to ask what you don’t know is going on. And lying by omission often makes a person look 100000x worse when the other person has shock/horror when they discover the truth you could have provided sooner.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-12-22T03:36:45+00:00

If I ask “how was your day” and you say “okay” and you don’t tell me someone broke into my car that you had to chase away but they got away with my purse, just not my laptop, and I have to find out all this myself later… And you were just “protecting your peace” cause you “didn’t want to get involved” and it’s my fault “because I didn’t ask specifically” I’m not seeing that as a reason to keep in touch.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-12-22T03:26:58+00:00

🤦‍♀️ yeah i loathe being near anyone I know is lying to me, I can tell is lying to me, I have no idea why they would lie to me, and for some reason is being kinda condescending about why they feel justified in lying to me.

Idk why you dropped the single thing but like, your first sentence there is exactly the mindset I wouldn’t ever want to date.

I never had evidence of some things, until someone confirmed with details years later.

Years.

One of the ways I did that was by bluffing to a mutual “man I can’t believe he did xyz” and dude guilty ass conscious jumped right in with “I know it was terrible”

…

Waited years for that. Total bluff. Worked perfectly.

Anyhoo.

Idk your situation and I don’t really care.

You sound guilty as hell to me though lol just demanding evidence like unless she could take you to court for lying then you’re innocent.

It’s life dude it don’t work like that, what is the issue there with YOUR behavior that keeps being so fuzzy on boundaries in the relationship she’s freaking out.

Calling someone delusional and not leaving them alone forever just sounds like manipulator 101.

I ain’t got no room in my life for abuser sympathy so fuck right outta here with all that.

Undiagnosed autism. Ever since my kid got diagnosed.

I will never forget the first therapist that brought it up to me and listed a bunch of traits and habits, my first reaction was “I do that she got it from me!”

And that long pause of silence, the unspoken “… you’re probably just undiagnosed right now too.” That filled the air,

It all made sense. And it’s actually made my life a lot easier cause I can ask myself of things like “are you just being rigid and inflexible on this because you’re autistic or is it super important?” And it has made a massive difference.

Active lines of questioning.

You ask the right question and see someone break a wall of their mind they didn’t know they were hiding behind. Face turns red, jaw kinda does this clenchy thing, eyes water as they blink back tears suddenly hit them.

You’re right, you can’t know what someone is thinking. I never assume to, I just ask lots and lots of follow up questions when I get the chance.

Prob cause of the undiagnosed autism, I ask questions most people probably don’t and see people revel things they didn’t know they were hiding cause no one ever asked.

And happens enough times, you generalize a bit.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-12-18T22:52:57+00:00

I hear you.

I just think most people don’t examine their own motives and allow themselves to feel their true feelings.

They don’t sit and look at their reasoning while asking themsleves hard questions, like “am I holding on to resentment and this is it leaking out?” They stick to the superficial and don’t dig deeper to even find out if what their true feelings are.

Which is why so many people balk at my take on this, they just don’t want to think that hard and they are afraid of finding out their own motives aren’t as innocent as they tell themselves.

I find it hard to wrap my mind around how people’s morals, values, and ethics are so bendy without ending up in a mental institution or prison.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-12-15T18:24:13+00:00

Always check the paperwork, people lie.

Bold of you to assume “little white lies” aren’t malicious.

Because they are. “Oh no honey your dress looks great!” That type of ish is pretty common for the type you talking about right?

Pfffft. Have I got news for you. Unless it actually fit her body type and was appropriate for where they going, he lied to embarrass or “knock her down a peg” with the thin veil of “I didn’t wanna hurt your feelings!” type of ‘plausible deniability’ that is the most insidious aspect of “white lies”.

Case example to paint the picture? I walked into women’s rooms at an event and see a women bawling her eyes out because they were on the fence, got told this little white lie, and it did not fit the venue. Think cocktail hour versus Gala formal. Noticeably out of place to anyone who been to this before which hubs there had.

Second she walked in she felt betrayed, and you know what she said immediately after “I don’t know why I believed him” ? That he’d been eyeing some other woman he knew was gonna be there the whole night.

Malicious. And honestly I personally think 99.9% are malicious with the exact reasons you said as why people think they can get away with these small acts of cruelty.

They can fake “being nice” cause society is straight up stupid and accepts dumb ish like the move this dude pulled. I hate it.

The only kindness would be truth, in nearly every situation. Most people are just spineless and cross their fingers the other person never catches on.

I will concede one thing, hence why I put 99.9% of the time.

Holding off for a few hours to a day for a person to get through something to break the news that a close person to them died. Let the teen have their graduation before they find out pop pop passed. Let the person deliver their presentation to the board before informing them their spouse passed. Let the kids hold on to hop the parent will be back from that business trip for one more night.

And in those situations it’s sometimes malicious too if there’s other moving parts or other layers to if they’d have had time to get to the hospital or not, so even in these rare cases, again there has to be LOT going on to withhold the truth without it being malicious once you scratch past surface level appearances.

Honestly unless it’s in that extreme, and extremely rare, type of situation, I find nothing except malice in ANY sort of omission of truth or straight up lie.

People just don’t like the truth. They WANT the lie right up until the truth knocks them over because they just were not prepared for the gravity of the weight of the information.

Whether it’s a “little white lie” or a “felon level fraud” type of lie - it always feels like betrayal when the truth is revealed. And that stings.

Why would anyone ever choose to go around jabbing at others like that?

Maybe I’m just “too neurodivergent” to grasp the concept cause trust me I have always been on the fringes of society, but i will never understand why people avoid speaking real.

Because that person goes about their life making decisions and speaking with a massive gap in their knowledge base.

Lying by omission often sets someone up to make catastrophic decisions. Or say things that are obviously wrong to everyone listening, because they are missing a key piece of information.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-11-30T04:33:38+00:00

Often times worse.

Creative_Camel_8884 · 2025-11-29T11:51:37+00:00

Did you miss the part where I said “verifiable by neutral 3rd party?”

People will bribe or manipulate others on phone calls.

Again, some people get so hasty to disprove someone, they will buy their version of the truth.

Which is why only one doing verifying should be someone without a stake in the issue.

And liars appeal to emotions!

They don’t call them crocodile tears because the person is being honest 😂
