  • lucky, like 90% of moths I see are the ones that eat my shit and yeah I'm killing those fuckers, and seeing one of them makes me have to like pull out my clothes and check all my stored grains for infestation.

    if you are infested it's a bitch to get rid of them. grain moths are nasty little fuckers.

  • yeah, they suck.

    they eat my clothes and they eat my grains.

    fuck wool moths and grain moths, fuckers.

  • 2004 was when it was popularized in business speak. MBAs were going on all about it and it was all over business journals. it didn't pass out of business speak around that time then, because that was before social media. nobody was blogging about emotional intelligence in 2006, other than business people writing for other business people. It was popularized in a 2004 article in the Harvard Business review, specifically, wherein the article quoted the psych researcher who wrote a book about from the 90s. It was MBAs scraping around for a made up metric by which to evaluate effective managers and how to choose/promote managers, and this was the 'new metric' they put forth. It was very trendy at the time to talk about business leaders needing to be empathic, which was part of George Bush's whole 'compassionate conservatism/neoliberalism' movement that the corpos latched onto at the time (like the latch onto Trumpism today). It all was a big nothing burger and by the time Obama came around it was completely gone and corpos were back to focusing on the bottom line and freaking out about how evil Democrats were.

    it didn't become common to see laypeople use it in everyday language until the past few years. now it's on literally every other dating profile and social media post where the person blathers on about how they have high emotional intelligence and it's everyone else who doesn't and they only want to associate with other high emotionally intelligence people... it's a bullshit status marker.

    lest us not forget, before 'emotional intelligence' it was emotionally quotient (EQ) in the 2010s. everyone was blathering about 'I have high EQ' 10 years ago. because again, another buzzword trying to sound legitimate by equating itself to IQ. Nobody uses that term anymore because it became passe, emotional intelligence is the replacement for it.

    EQ/emotional intelligent/butthole empathy was never anything measurable or standarized. It's nothing more than a buzzword that is hyped up as the 'answer' to everything, when it is in fact, a meaningless empty term that allows people to project anything they want.

    in 5 years nobody will use this term anymore. there will be a new one, or maybe they will revive EQ. it's all marketing in the end, about conning folks into believing something is real and selling them the idea of it so they buy your book, view your channel, or subscribe to your stream. etc

  • if you met today everyone would be telling you how immoral and wrong it is and how she abused you if she was older than you.

    people are weirdly paranoid about age gaps in relationships these days. it's totally bizarre. social media cooking all of their brains and turning harmless stuff into paranoid delusions of exploitation and abuse.

  • people have in in their heads they have to achieve certain things by 30 or they will never happen or you have 'failed' at life and are a 'loser'.

    career, house, marriage, kids, etc.

    despite the fact, realistically, most of those things are now only achievable by the time you are 40, due to economic reality, and more and more folks will never achieve them also due to that reality. the mentality however, persists, especially among those who are under 30 that 30 is when you 'become adult' and have all the 'adult' things.

    only 1/3 of people own a home by 30 today, and I'd guess a huge chunk of those folks inherited that home rather than purchased on their own income. every young home owner i ever met had their home mostly or completely paid or by their parents. it's common for 20 year college kids in my city to own homes, because their folks buy them for them while they attend university. and my only family is thinking of doing that for their kids.

  • No, it can't.

    Buzzwords are words that are hyped up by the media and have no substantive meaning. And will be forgotten when the next buzzword comes along.

    Nobody was talking about 'emotional intelligence' 5 years ago in popular culture. Now it's ubiquitous.

    5 years ago the rage was 'love languages'. everyone was talking about their 'love language'. now that's passe. they were also ranting about how they were 'empaths', which is something you dont' see much of anymore.

    10 years ago it was how everything was 'toxic' or 'trauma'. those fell out of favor after the pandemic.

    and in 5 years from now, nobody will talk about emotional intelligence, they will have some new vague buzzword to hide behind and to use online to feel smug and superior about.

  • because they aren't political leftists. they are authoritarians who pretend to be leftists so they can claim they are populists.

  • ok buddy, where is my bad faith and logical fallacies? you seek repeating these words but you don't reference what you mean in an specific way.

    your 'argument' so far is 'everything you said is illogical and bad faith'. which is basically 'i don't like what you say'

    No, i don't think any of that. You're the one making up this elaborate fictional narrative about a random internet stranger. Which is exactly what a crybully does on the internet. they over dramatize everything.

  • oh, and what is the credential or professional qualification that allows you to officially declare emotional intelligence?

  • not really, but i don't think of religions in broad sweeping terms. fwiw most of my social relationships are with liberal catholics, reformist jews, Episcopalians, and liberal shia muslims. and a lot of old school hippies who just wanted to chill out and do mushrooms.

  • you spend too much time on feeding the algorithms. i don't ever see any of that shit, because i'm not interested in it.

    if you only listen to crazy people, you will think everyone is crazy because you don't ever talk to normal people, and you probably won't pay attention to them anyway, because they arent' saying crazy shit.

    stop living to be upset and offended and you might actually realize how chill the average person is.

  • this is why i block .ml users. you guys never have anything to say in replies other than

    'no, but u'

    it's like you're all 5 year olds. all you do on fedi is go around throwing temper tantrums and calling people names. and if you get any push back, you just call the people who reply to you names, or think you are doing uno reverse.

  • some of us enjoy being a bubble of civil and sane folks, rather than extreme nutbags who fantasize about mass murder.

  • yep.

    and like 2-3 instances responsible for those 10 people. they have multiple accounts on various instances.

  • oh, sorry, was i under obligation to give a fuck about random internet people's comments?

    what's your venmo, can i send you some money, would that make me more emotionally intelligent?

  • for you, being the operative thing here.

    other people have different definitions and behaviors. which might be at odds with yours.

    in the USA it's basically a management strategy to optimize productivity, btw. And that's how most folks in common usage, see it. It's the ability to manipulate people to get shit you want out of them. So in that way, lying, deceiving, or other such behaviors, are very emotionally intelligent, because they an efficient means to the ends. making your workers feel nice makes them produce more.

  • I hate bullies, yeah. Your entire post here is typical .ml user trope.

    Call something a logical fallacy, posture yourself as superior, then insult the user and try to goad them into a name-calling, so you can play the victim.

    It's proverbial crybully behaviour. please also include a DM about how you are going to beat me up, while you're at it. because threatening people is very logical and aware and I should be glad to be beaten by you.

    Because you know, we just need to re-educate the population in physical labor camps, and THEN they will finally understnad the glory of marxism leninism and the freedom it will bring to everyone!

  • yeah, i'm such a dummy with my master's degree which i had to spend two years writing a thesis on the topic of belief system formation.

    please tell me more about how awful I am though. and how hard it is to be you with your superior intellect and awareness of all things.

    and it's not at all that you're a yet another fragile egotistical fedi user who thinks they are a Supreme Genius, who tells other posters here how they lack 'awareness' for the crime of what... making you mad with words on computer screen you don't like?
