Ilitium Disorder

The inability to understand satire has been linked to a mental disorder known as ilitium. This is where the person reading, hearing or viewing satirical content takes it as the truth. It is compounded by the fact that people are emotional about their view points in matters of society. They either think it is the absolute truth when in reality it is a mockery or they rebel against it thinking it is a lie. Sadly there is no amount of education or medication for this disorder. The persons suffering from this terrible affliction will be sadly condemned to be fooled and butt-hurt for the rest of their life. We as normal humans can only try to comfort them.

    I sincerely hope that my joking around in a adult manner hasn't upset or offended any of your other friends. I do understand some people take everything so literally and are just very anally retentive.

      Actually it's the Latan form of the name Ilit. The meaning of this Unisex name is "the best". Originated in this form in the USA. The country least able to seem to know what Sarcasm actually is. By the way, your not being sarcastic your being obtuse.

      Nope it's old Latin for "the best" modern form in American English is used as a name ilit. I had no idea it was also the name of a band. This might explain the hits on this blog post from Spain LOL.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

Gifted (2017) A Review

Image
Gifted (2017)  Is the story of a 7 year old girl and her uncle who is taking care of her. The child is extremely gifted in the field of mathematics. This runs in the family, as her mother was as well, and so was her grandmother. To a lesser extent her uncle was also very intelligent. We pick up the story when the uncle is fixing boats freelance and taking care of the girl in a small rental home in Florida. He has schooled her at home before she goes to school (1st grade) and the teacher realized just how smart she is and how much knowledge of math she actually has. To say the least most people on earth don't have the knowledge of math that this 7 year old has. Enter the grandmother and we find out that the girls mother killed herself and that the uncle blames himself for not seeing the signs before it was too late. The grandmother wants the child to go home with her and to be schooled in math the was she schooled her daughter (the child mom). After a legal battle, the child ends up...
