Manipulation: Double Speak
Now before I go on, I want to say a big inspiration to the swell is past employment jobs that I may have had or people in particular personal relationships that I have had where this was utilized to give a satisfactory answer without elaborating on the details. So essentially concealing the truth. So I'm going to give an example of this. You're interviewing for a job and you ask about the pay rate and the likelihood of continuous raises during your employment

But it is also a means of those empowered to manipulate those under them. And it's such bullshit. I don't know. Anyway, I won't get angry at certain people right now, but it's also important to be wary of the non employers, just the human beings out there who avoid the truth with some of that euphemisms or double speak, as you're saying, because that's scary to be able to impersonalize and avoid the why do you think? That's my question too

Give them a satisfactory answer without relaying too much information or conveying too much information. It's only right. If they feel it's right to do the very same thing to you, then it's only fair that they received the same treatment in return. But these are my thoughts and that last idea or advice, if you will, is more so the last resort. But I will admit that I may have utilized that on employers who may have utilized these tactics and mistreated myself and others

Hey. Hello, professor of Greetings from Ireland. I was interested in what you have to say here, and I think it's given me a bit of food for thought, but one part of it Jarred with me. It's when you use the word scumbags. Now over here in Ireland, to use the term scumbags is a vehicle very rude, not a descriptive term. It's a term of abuse. And I didn't think it fitted well into your several examples

Oh, dear. I owe you a big apology. I should have listened to your wave twice, Because you and I are in full agreement, and I have characterized your wave incorrectly, to put it mildly. And please forgive me for my sloppiness. I was no doubt so shocked by the word that I somehow failed to check that I'd heard it. So, professor, you are indeed the professor, and I am the pupil who hasn't done his homework well
