  • I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.

    I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking “way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me.”

    Cars need an “I’m sorry” emote somehow.












  • Here are some sample questions

    • Recall five unrelated words, such as: “rose, chair, hand, blue, spoon.” (You will be asked to repeat them immediately after the test-taker gives them to you, and then again later, toward the end of the test.)
    • Count backwards from 100 by seven. You also may be asked to calculate using currency, such as determining what change you might expect from your $20 bill if you were charged $13.55.
    • How many words can you name in one minute that start with F? (Or you might be asked to name words that fit a category, like fruits.)
    • Identify animals from pictures (such as a zebra or tiger).
    • To test your visual perception, you may be asked to identify objects drawn within a jumble of other objects. Or, you may be asked to draw a picture (such as a cube) based on a drawing shown on the test form.
    • The “clock test”—common in many dementia exams—is part of the MoCA dementia test. The test administrator will ask you to draw the face of a traditional (non-digital) clock, as well as to illustrate a specific time.
    • Your ability to think abstractly may be tested by asking you to determine the relationships between objects—for instance, how trains and boats are similar to each other

    So yeah… we have a president who is bragging about being able to draw a clock and tell you that trains and boats are both methods of transporting people. JFC we are so fucked.






  • Exactly. It’s just an insult to them.

    A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.

    When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”

    In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.
