I just realized that's how my wife sees me after my son was explaining how a sink works for the 73rd time. My takeaway is I need to be more invested in what he's talking about no matter how boring, cause getting ignored when you're excited about something doesn't feel great.

The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.

I'm already a loner but omniscience would seal the deal.

It prevents the sentence from continuing which makes everyone want to either leave the conversation or try to "help out". Same principle.

I'm usually right about 60% of the time with strangers, though I'm intentionally not finishing the sentence aloud.
With friends and coworkers it's usually that we've forgotten a common word somehow and just appreciate the other person remembering it for us.

Oh fuck yeah, I would absolutely love to die that way if they didn't have so much sugar.

If your point was that religions have oversimplified complex science to the point that people thought they fully grasped it, then I agree with you. Otherwise I have no idea what you are trying to say.

It's had the opposite effect for me, in the past when I'd catch myself doom scrolling I had only pulled the phone out to make sure I hadn't missed a message and then just didn't put it back down.

Now I'll just glance at the watch and see if it's important or not.

I do most of my meal making on the stovetop, but I never bake without preheating.

I don't see any attempts to logic, it's just fewer steps:

  1. turn on oven

  2. put frozen pizza in

versus

  1. turn on oven

  2. wait

  3. put frozen pizza in
