I need the word for “this”

robinson · Post by **robinson** » Thu Apr 22, 2021 1:02 pm

At times I think about something, but either I am too old to remember the word, or I just don’t know it

Like that thought, the one right before this one

What’s the word for that?

Also, what’s the word to describe my reaction to the following tweet?

Google is worthless for these kinds of queries

Maybe there isn’t even a word for it

I find my most common reaction is either to make a comic about it, or to just say “fuck it”

I prefer "screw it"

I was hopeful that you’d get to it eventually.

The word for that (the quoted phrase above) is "mind reading", where somebody tells you what you were thinking, like they can read your mind

Another word for it is "bullshit"

I find 1984 to have so every specific and useful words to describe what is happening in the western world

(Assuming what we see online is actual)

robinson · Post by **robinson** » Mon May 17, 2021 4:35 pm

stopcrime, blackwhite and doublethink are the most obvious

I need to reread 1984. It seems more relevant recently.

Incidentally, It really seems more relevant now, or am I just getting older?
