did you know it’s free to say, “I don’t know enough to weigh in” and skateboard away like bart simpson
@lolennui Every attempt I have ever made at skateboarding disproves this.
@lolennui so much this! I give myself a little mental hi-five to encourage myself doing it.
@lolennui and even more amazing is the fact that you don’t even have to say it and it’s still free! You can just be quiet.
@lolennui I do this a lot and it's so freeing.
@lolennui Going to try this one at work today
@lolennui Following this advice would prevent, like, 61.3% of the entire global mass of assholery.
@lolennui thank you so much; I believe visualising Bart Simpson on his skateboard will make "I don't know" much easier to me! No more an ignoring looser but an ignoring badass! 😎

@lolennui Even better-

Get into the habit of doing that and when you do know enough, people will tend to listen

@lolennui oh yes, is one of my basic principles: opinions should be based on diligent gathering of knowledge and careful consideration. Otherwise just refrain from having one.
Also, there's no shame in changing them.
@lolennui howard stern has a funny bit where he interviews people in the street and asks them to comment on a totally made up story. "do you have any comment on the jews decision to purchase the moon?" and without fail, they always have a deep comment on the matter. "well i think the jews should share the moon with others and..."
@lolennui help i wiped out, fell flat on my face and am now covered in wonder woman plasters 😫
@lolennui technically it’s not free to say it, since you have to use energy
@lolennui Someone said this at work today and I wanted to salute her.
@lolennui I can only think of the penis and hedge incident.
@lolennui the skateboarding away part is crucial. Otherwise someone tries to "educate" you. By which I mean, tell you their opinion and why it is 100% right.
@lolennui or better yet, be like Maggie and just silently suck your pacifier instead!
@lolennui have you seen the price of skateboards?!
@lolennui other than the skateboarding part. That will probably be a hefty hospital bil for me
@lolennui Used to know a woman who had her own version of Winter Wonderland, one of the best I ever heard:
Sleigh bells ring, tits are jigglin’
In the lane my ass is wigglin’
@lolennui the pinnacle of posting is not posting; one step below that is "don't know / none of my business" 😊
@lolennui One of my favorite phrases is "I don't really have an opinion on that." And I am bemused by how much this shocks other people. If I don't have the data to be informed, or I don't have an instinctive emotional reaction, I can't really form a sound opinion on something. And that's OK - I'm fine with saying "I don't know."
@lolennui I do that all the time. Decline to voice an opinion because I don't know enough about a topic. Drives people insane
@lolennui I'm very skilled at that... minus the skateboard.
@lolennui Protip: if you steal the skateboard it will also be free
@lolennui now that’s a cool customer. Promote her, Johnson
