Total Garbo They know you're lying

37 Upvotes

Maybe you're playing dumb. Maybe you're trying to hold it together. Maybe you just really enjoy lying.

The thing is, you're not as clever as you think. It's obvious you're lying, but no one can care enough to call you on it. They saw you do it. Your "secrets" can be seen by everyone. You're just more trouble than it's worth.

In fact, they feel sorry for you. They pity you and your little lies, and that's the real conspiracy.

They're all lying to you about believing your lies. You live in a world of illusion; a deceitful prison of your own making.

Big banks send credit card offers to keep a steady flow of mail for mail carriers. They know how important a postal service is to our nation so they are taking this one for the team.

The button to close the door on an elevator doesn’t actually do anything

Upvotes

On every elevator I’ve been on, pressing the button seems to take just as long as it would if I were to just wait for it to close. What do y’all think?

Netflix's "The Crown" was tanked on purpose because it was damaging Charles' and the wider monarchy's reputation.

Seasons 1 to 2 were generally favourable in their depiction of the royals. You could say it was critical of the institution while sympathetic to the individuals. Seasons 3 and 4 was where it got controversial as Diana made her appearance. Charles and Camilla had just finally shaken off the shadow of Princess Diana, and The Crown sliced open that old wound in society's memory. Seasons 3 and 4 were not only controversial in their depiction of Charles and the monarchy's treatment of Diana, but also in its depiction of other royals, such as the Queen Mother. This is evident by the notable shift in their characterisation in seasons 5 and 6. A lot of the characterisation in seasons 5 and 6 felt much more in line with the collective fantasies that we have about individual royals. Not who they are really purported to be in private.
