That's the whole problem. The similarity, contiguity, or contrast can't merely be stored in your mind. It has to relate to the opening post.

Nothing? Really no link to find?
Then see:

-1- spinsters, widows (and virtual widows - wives of seamen and soldiers) love and keep cats
-2- cats kill mice; house and field mice as well
-3- field mice (if they spread) would destroy the nests of bumblebees
-4- the bumblebee is the only genus which can pollenize red clover
-5- the red clover is used to feed beef cattle
-6- the sailors and soldiers mainly eat beef
-7- the consequence of the powerful English navy was the success of the British Empire

GOT IT?

-8- the navy produce more widows and virtual widows
go to -1- (and the daisy chain is complete)

There again is the problem. A "daisy chain" is a derailment. There can be only ONE link between the opening post--or, at least, the post to which you respond--NOT a daisy chain of several decreasingly-relevant links.

From this minute on, I may associate British Empire with bumblebees. Call it blatant derailment, please...

I will. You should, too.

YOU are the ONLY one who call it a problem.

When I speak (write, draw, carve a stone etc.) I convey my thoughts to others - at least I am trying to do.

Some of that others understand my said words, my written letters, my drawings, my engravings. Then, all similarities, contiguities, or contrasts magically appear in their minds.
This is called communication between thinking entities.

Some of that others don't understand, or - at worse - don't want to. As you.
I don't care.
And, frankly, my dear Shades, I don't give a damn.

So much about TRUMP, and relating to the opening post.

I don't tilt at windmills. Or at such things.

Just be sure your thoughts aren't derailments. If they are, post them here in the Off-Topic Forum.

And if the communication has nothing to do with the subject of the thread, then post the communication in the Off-Topic Forum.

I understand 100%. That's the "problem," so-to-speak.

If you suffer withdrawals from a steady stream of Trump news, is that the DT's?

Politico wrote:Flynn asked Trump a question about cyber security challenges. “You know, cyber is becoming so big today. It’s becoming something that a number of years ago, a short number of years ago, wasn’t even a word.”

“Now the cyber is so big. You know you look at what they’re doing with the Internet and how they’re taking, recruiting people through the Internet. And part of it is the psychology because so many people think they’re winning. And you know there’s a whole big thing.

“Even today’s psychology, where CNN came out with a big poll — their big poll came out today that Trump is winning. It’s good psychology. It’s good psychology.”


I love it when Trump tries to sound profound as he makes pronouncements which prove his ignorance.

I am afraid he may be suffering from early onset SPD. (Sarah Palin Disease).

If a "You betcha!" slips through your lips, see a doctor immediately.

I guess that a SHORT number of years ago, Donald Trump didn't exist either...

One step where events converge may alter your perception.
