I really fucking hate people

Good thing Marquis isn't doing any breastfeeding, then...

Every peptide in our bodies does more than double duty, controlling multiple physical processes in the body and mental processes in the brain. Among the emotional elements that oxytocin influences are bonding, trust, cooperation, all of which enhance empathic responses.

No fair being silly when I'm in earnest geek mode!

but yeah-- from what I see of the dude, that would be a forever underfed baby.

Something about a speck in your neighbor's eye and a plank in your own...

Not the Canadian Taiga?

What? You act like the world doesn't revolve around NASCAR and WWE Smackdown!

Elitist!

I had given up on this thread a few hours after posting it. Imagine my surprise to see all these responses!

I appreciate all the responses guys.

Much of b-school sucks.

You'll need a sense of humor to get through this, man. Find one or two buddies, similarly inclined, and you're set.

Ha ha, you know I'd wondered if you went to B-school when you said you used to do consulting. Lots of kids looking to break into that over here, seems like a really exciting field.

If you don't have the courage and intelligence to surround yourself with people who interest you and challenge you it's your own fucking fault.

I work at a job where i am challenged by my co-workers. I live with a man who even after 30 years of being together continues to surprise, amuse and intrigue me. I have a Dominant who is a master at creativity. Of course my children are ever changing and presenting me with new challenges.

I don't waste my time with people I find boring, time is way too valuable for that.

At first I thought this part was a joke, and then I considered the source. Marquis, try taking yourself less seriously. Nobody is pure of soul or clear of mind. People are complex. Find the complexities in those around you. What you see is only the surface. Instead of feeling frustrated with that, delve deeper. It will help you grow.

Point well taken, both of you.

I suspect it's an oxytocin deficiency.

So basically you're using chemistry to call me an asshole?

Marquis, I hate to say it, but BTDT. When I finally got a little clarity of my own, I realized that worrying about what they talked, thought or worried about was a complete waste of my time, and just began to enjoy them for the good they might bring to my life and ignoring - as much as possible - the rest. I've become a happier person because of this realization, and, I think, nicer to be around.

In essence, you may have come to the point in your life where you are ready to accept people for who and what they are, take the good they might provide you, and discard/disregard the rest, in order to be more at peace with yourself. It's called "growing up," and so many, many people never manage it. Congratulations!

This is quality, frame it.

Also scrub from your mind any pretentions of purity and clarity.

These people who are obsessed with these halfass celebrities drive me bat shit insane...

No, you've kind of called yourself an asshole.

I'm offering you an excuse or explanation.

OK, gotcha.

I like it.
