Rooting for laundry. Structurally totally isomorphic with teams in a league. What’s interesting about the present is blowing through [no information content] to [no expectation of information content]. NPC-narrative singularity.
I assume Bimbosis as an option correlates to certain types of attractiveness.
The first time I was old enough to vote I looked at the candidates in my area. There was the Party-My-Family-Always-Voted-For, the Corrupt One and the Insane One, so I decided I might as well go with the Insane One. He was a former magician who was into yogic flying for world peace. My opinion on elections and candidates hasn't changed much over the years, I've just withdrawn entirely from the process.
Yes, definitely. I have no idea how the 1 to 10 attractiveness numbers work (most of us girls have no idea) but experiential feedback leads me to believe I'm attractive. I'm also petite and childlike. "Cute" is the usual term applied to me. My children call me "fun slzed" when they're cruisin' for a bruisin'. If I were taller or more stern looking or more sensible in my demeanour, Bimbosis would not work. I am a ringer for my mother, but she couldn't pull off Bimbosis if you paid her. She was just too sensible, so it jarred.
I suck at Bimbosis. I wish you could teach me. I try, but people always seem to figure out that I'm on a different wavelength, and then they pry and prod to find out what the weirdo is thinking now. And no matter how smart they think I am, it does me no good whatsoever to explain things to them. They don't follow because they think you can figure things out and make things better. They follow because you make them feel good about following. And THAT is something that I am incapable of.
If they want to dislike you, they’ll find a way. My silence becomes “arrogance” or “condescension “.
If you are in any way exceptional, you’re polarizing. Simply by entering the room. Anecdotally, males can become completely uncaring in ways females seem less able to. “They follow because you make them feel good about following” is 100% on point. Charisma and a hint of confidence and…
You can't really explain things to people who don't have the capacity to understand. It's sort of like a higher IQ version of the "but I *did* have breakfast" conundrum. They're not going to get there and they're going to get terribly frustrated, defensive and hostile.
I think the key is that I have an eccentric vibe that borders on out and out crazy. Since I'm little and childlike I think I get away with conversational nightmares that more sensible-seeming people just can't. It's like, if a sensible person is talking nonsense it's jarring, but if an already nonsensical person is talking nonsense it just fits. Since stuff NPCs don't understand comes across to them as nonsense, it works.
Politically charged coworker: But by not voting you're agreeing with whatever the outcome is.
Me: It's literally not going to matter. Either Trump stays in and we get more of the same for four years, or Biden gets four and Trump pulls a Grover Cleveland.

It's hard to read when your head is nodding so hard. You're always spot on.
Back when I still used to debate politics with people this was a killer.
NPCs: "But we need a candidate who can win."
Butterchurn: "But if they betray you the moment they take office, what have you won exactly?"
NPCs: "But we have no choice. This guy has our party logo on his shirt."
(Or something like that)
And so the adoption of High Bimbosis as my primary social mask.

"Rooting for Laundry". I like that.

Thanks. It’s what I thought. They start by dismissing you, the rest follows.
It’s a gift for observation. I have the opposite problem.

Oh, they like me. They just won't follow me. ;-)

Me circa 2020: I'm not voting.

I hate political theater.
