What??!...don't you even know how to bow??    lmao

Respect is earned in my book, not handed out by divine right.

I'm glad i didn't ever meet her, because i would have totally fucked that up  

I understand Hueristic's hatred against born upper class members quite well, too, but i personally always consider prejudice in the back of my head - not yet being aware of, but becoming open to look for it- when it comes to such feelings.
Generally, prejudice is a rather old remains of our species' traditional usage of simplification, for the sake of more advantage in selective regards, to use our brains more efficiently.

But hey, Elisabeth wouldn't care less about that today, nor would she likely have done so when she was alive.
R.I.P., lady.
In the end we're all equal.


Same as with authority. It's being awarded, not enforced.
One of the more shitty entries on the buglist of our society, innit?
I try to look at respect as a balance thing. You can respect a person for some thing(s) and disrespect it in other regard(s) at the same time.
Like Karme, just more simple.

EDIT: Not directly related: What's a good term for the opposite of Heroism? 

Self Centered Coward, they are easy to spot as they are the ones usually trying to take credit for other peoples actions.

With Boobies bonus as well!

Hmm, let me elaborate a bit more...
By Heroism, i don't refer to something strictly positive. Heroism is also a bad thing, because "flaws" of "heroes" are not noticed as much as when it comes to their "inverted ideal" (insert term here). That's also a strong point the tv series "The Boys" plays with, all along, for example.
The "Antihero" (insert term here) is not being given credit for his being, but there might be some postitive aspects going by unnoticed as well, mainly because it wouldn't fit into the image. Same as with the "hero".
 
So there can never be a perfect hero, same with the perfect antihero.


Yeah you're right. Imo, it started out with SEO, then fucking adsense appeared and Google finally made a commerce shitshow out of it all.

EDIT: Back to WO topics... I don't like the orderbooks today, and i don't like the action. Somebody didn't get enough, it seems. Too early to feel bullish, but also too early to feel bearish, too. We might be in the middel of the "slow" fade-out of a bear market, but it feels more accelerated than the last time(s) to me. Because market anticipation meets growing adoption, maybe?

duckduck changed drastically.  The one I can recommend for uncensored searches is

Disappointment is imo more an emotional feedback function when perception doesn't match expectation(s).
I meant that "hero" is a paradoxon, all in all. But the same holds true for the opposite. But... i'd like to catch a descriptive term for the latter, just out of curiosity. Some might call it "mind-wanking" or similar  

Have fun @ the game
