and called my mom a hamster

You literally told me to pick on you.

May have posted this recently, but thinking about it now...

One of the greatest root-level problems in the world is the improper "use" of knowledge about psychology to direct the actions of others -as opposed to employing it to be respectful of people and encouraging them to want to choose correct and positive courses of action.

Even among those who do have absolute positive regard for others, there is a subtle, yet all-important difference between viewing and treating someone as a psychology and treating them as a person with inherent rights....

Some differences being cooperation vs manipulation and respect vs disregard of the fact that there is a person behind the psychology -or the importance of that fact -changing others in a violating, offensive manner vs changing a situation and helping another to change if necessary.

There are times when regard for one or some is made less important than regard for those who might be harmed by them -whether in willfulness or ignorance -but even then, completely disregarding and disrespecting the person of even the most ill-intentioned is a mistake. If they are not considered and respected regardless of their respect for others, you will certainly make a mistake in your decision-making process and do unnecessary harm to yourself as well as them.

It dehumanizes. It is the dehumanization of another -which must first be a dehumanization of self -and does great harm to all as it spreads -making exponentially more problems to strive against.

Titles such as 'How to make people/men/women....' are an excellent example. If one goes into a relationship (or lack thereof in this case) with the intention of disregarding and superseding or circumventing the will of another, it is a violation of that person.

Remotely hacking other people's genetic code would get weird.

Reminded me of a catholic joke...

Wherever there are four catholics, you will find a fifth.

Texans always mess with newbies at work by telling them about the year the gulf of mexico froze over.
Might just if things keep getting weird.

Everyone has different capabilities and opportunities to affect others -sometimes many or all -and people who can affect many or all can be jerks.

If I can ever get my nerf car invention going... all driving will be fun again :)
