    I'm an old guy and they and their will always be plural. Those (another plural) who are forcing them (plural, too) to be singular are confused virtue signalling idiots.

    I believe it's consciousness that skips out on non-locality that's why we forget. This is due to overstimulation of the cerebral cortex. Our brains haven't evolved to take in all the data swirling about online and in the world.

    I am seeing the same confusion about words that we have had for a very long time, such as mistakenly saying 'rationalize' when 'reason' was intended. The English language has far too many words for any of us to remain ahead of the game even when the rules aren't all changing.

    My current pet peeve is the singular 'they' that always has me looking for the missing person. "Jim went and got their car from the garage." Cheezus and Zorroastor, folks Jim is already male. Why the "nonsexist" plural? Or is Jim in some sort of transition state? (Probably Cafilornia.)

    Hardly a day goes by when me old dino forgets where I put my cane.
    Just now me old dino looked behind me to make sure my cane was still there.
    It hasn't walked off and hid so far today.
    It's all Putin's fault when it does.

    We are constantly being inundated with information from all sides so it becomes one big confusing mass or mess of the important and the unimportant. Secondly we rely on devices to remember things for us, go in any grocery store and saa all the people with their phones out checking their lists, unless it is a massive list you should be able to remember what's on it. I jot things down for each store, glance at it when I get my cart and leave it in my pocket. We've lost the art of memorization which trains the brain to recall things.

    When I can't recall someone's name that I haven't seen for 20 years, or I forget some unimportant thing, I explain that after 85 years my brain is so full I have to push something out to make room for other information.

    I am seeing in the older children a large subset which cannot move on from the fear mongering that has been heaped on them with now severe anxiety and depression and wanting to hide behind a mask still and they and the parents will jump down your throat if you dare to talk about taking away their face diaper. I have been screamed at and threatened by parents for even suggesting it, even from adolescents/parents that I have taken care of for many years. It has totally destroyed their ability to think or rationalize.

    What I am seeing in the younger children esp is frightening, as the useless restrictions on young children have devastated learning and development and the schools they they can just turn a switch and go back to normal teaching like nothing happened

    Greater dependance on tech while moving away from reading and more toward TV. I used to remember dozens of phone numbers, my phone card number when I served and tthe overseas numbers of some of the ladies I met. Today, I barely remember my family's cell numbers, complements of cell phones and voice/speed dial. We aren't exercising our brains.

    They ALL stumbled and said VACCINE, then covered themselves saying, covid 19...my question: how could they know and not be bothered by their conscience voice unless they have none...No Conscience, not Conscious = Not Human...I say

    Yes...TELL the people these things.
