The many Twitter responses to "gazpacho police" were hilarious! My favorite was Jose Andres!

Nothing goes with a winter evening like a piping hot bowl of gazpacho.

Do we need a SC(onditions)ADFY?

That's DEI, not DIE, for a reason.  One sees the plight of the adjunct so clearly yet feels threatened by current "lefty" efforts to address social and racial injustice.   Lived experience certainly shapes individual perception, yet it also may be applied toward recognizing the lived experiences of others.

I did that intentionally. These flea-brained diversity initiatives are the graveyard of hope and optimism.

My problem with lefty efforts to address social and racial injustice is not how they affect me. How they affect me in mostly just the nuisance of hearing about them, and maybe being subjected to a bullshit accusation of using racially insensitive language or such My problem with them is they are idiotic and they hurt the people they purport to help by cast ing them as victims while they enrich the people with the snake oil. I don't have time to explain further, but the man after my heart is Coleman Hughes, if you're interested.

SPADFY people. 

What does this mean? I've seen it around here more than a few times. Google thinks I'm asking about "Spotify" when I do a search.

SPADFY = "Some people are different from you."

You're so 'Ignore Wars.' You probably think this song is about you.

In consultation with the Assembling the Lexicon thread, SCADFY yields due to priority to YMMV.

When I say a thing, I have really been trying to anticipate what someone might think I am saying (or implying), but am definitely not saying. At least, I'm not trying to say it.

I try to include some kind of disclaimer remark on what I am not saying.

It hasn't seemed to help much.

I'm not sure how to do this better.

Many people don't listen to understand, they listen to respond (and they usually listen poorly).

It gets confusing.

I don't know if it's to make fun of me or if that's really what they think I am saying.

Though there are a lot of people who assume any discussion of the link between biology and behavior is the same as saying no one is responsible for anything they do and should never be held accountable.

There are people who try to make arguments like this, but such arguments are not necessarily implied by the biology.

I guess some people interpret statements about brain development or learning disabilities or mental illness as a precursor to a list of demands.

I don't know why that is-ought separation is so difficult for some people, but it seems important to figure out how to communicate it.

If an out-and-out disclaimer does nothing, is it hopeless?
