Perhaps it works both ways then. You’re both in each other’s heads, that’s scary ?
One thing for sure, you are reasonable person. This thread needs more posters like you.

Talk about ignorant.
I’ve seen you call other posters nuts and crazy, including the two you’ve mentioned. The amount of California is a cesspit posts on here are endless. Works both ways I think.

I’m trying, I don’t always achieve it but I’m making an effort to be better.

Well only to Jesse in response to his nutty posts, usually with a ?. I have called Flagpole delusional. I have been far more fair to them than reciprocated. There is a reason you and I can carry on a civil conversation.

"Fortuitous" means accidental, or happening by chance.
"Fortunate" seems like the word you're after here.
I've mostly given up my grammar-NSDAP role, but will admit that this incorrect usage bothers me a good deal.
INCORRECT!
Fortuitous: Fortunate, lucky, happening by lucky chance
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fortuitousIf you are going to be a grammar nazi, at least make sure you are right.
no man
it's not by lucky chance
it's just by chance
even the definition you provided says that
and gives the wrong but common usage as second choice.

My goodness. You know more about words than Merriam-Webster. . . . . Go take your nap, delusional one.

No, not everyone. You are the only a$$hole here. Rigged is the only one who is batsh!t crazy. Only you three are outrageously stupid. I think you need to look up the definition of "everyone." Not 100% sure what a "very, very man" is, but that sounds like me. I do not get angry. I just label things as they are. You happen to be an a$$hole. I am not angry in saying that. I'm actually disappointed to have to say it. You should work on stopping being an a$$hole. You have a lot of work to do.
Good thing we have you for a sanity check.
CORRECT! So far, you pass...so far.

I get that most of you anti-Trumpers shy away from calling Trumpers "stupid." You're either trying to make nice or just don't believe being brutally honest is the right call. You can't honestly believe they are smart in any way.
I have said many times that the correct label of "stupid" is not for all those who voted for Trump. It is for those who are still with him. There is no intelligent reason to support a president who:
1) Has not kept ALL of his major promises...no wall, Mexico ain't paying for a wall, Hillary is not in prison, he has dug us way deeper as a nation into debt instead of progressing toward the wiping out of the national debt he said he could do in 8 years, we still have Obamacare. The on more minor ones, he hasn't brought back coal, and he has killed farmers with the stupid tariffs.
2) Lies constantly. I've lost count at this point...is it up to 15,000 lies or misleading statements now? It is beyond ridiculous.
3) Praises anyone who works for him until they are in hot water, and then he hardly knows them. What a scumbag.
4) Has broken several laws including FELONY Campaign Finance Law violation(s), obstruction of justice, emoluments clause, and some of those openly.
5) Has many accounts from insiders that he's a child, that he's lazy, that he doesn't read, that he doesn't understand how anything works. We've never had that with any President.
6) Engages in an unbelievable alternate reality. "Read the Transcript!" Um...ok. I read the readout of the phone call. It's just one of many things at this point, but it doesn't exonerate him. It incriminates him.
7) Assaults our freedoms on an almost daily basis and called the Emoluments Clause, "phony."
The serial lying should be enough. How can you believe anything he says when he lies so much? You have to be STUPID to do so, STUPID to support him in any way.

So, you think that Merriam Webster shows multiple definitions for a word in order to show one definition that is the actual meaning of the word with additional definitions provided to show what the word does NOT mean?
Okayyyyyy . . .

While I agree that Trump is one of the worst human beings on the planet and easily the worst POTUS of all time, your claim here is simply INCORRECT. I personally know more than one physics professor at a top school and more than one mathematician similarly at a top school who support Trump. To say that these people, each of whom have an IQ vastly surpassing your own, are "not smart in any way" is simply demonstrably FALSE.

1) You know neither their IQs nor my own, so your claim there is bogus.
2) If you believe every scientist or mathematician at a university is not stupid, then you don't know enough of them. A stupid person (definition of stupid being "having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense") may be able to put energies into narrow achievement without being all that smart, and then if still supporting Trump at this point, we have the answer on that...anyone who supports him at this point is clearly a stupid person. There are lots of racist people who have achieved vocational success, but ALL racist people are stupid.
I reject your assertions.
I believe racist was the alternate description of trumpers. Racists think that concentration camps on the border is just what those people need (at taxpayer expense of course). Racists think that a nazi parade through Charlottesville or Skokie is good clean fun. Racists think that machine guns in the hands of crazy white people keeps everyone else in line. Racists think that an alliance with pasty-faced daddy putin is preferable to constitutional rights for black & hispanic voters.

You know, with you posting soon after me at almost 3:30 a.m. on the East Coast, some here will be convinced that you and I are the same person. Just saying.
If it’s any consolation, I can say that trump’s appearance in Alabama had a completely random effect on the game (in the minds of trumpers). Personally, I think the negative energy of stabbing Trump Baby to prevent dissent is a $hitty way of preparing for a match.
Fortuitously, they were down by 3 touchdowns before you knew it.
You’re so patient with them, Flag.
I’m in full mockery mode until forever, but I try to get a few laughs.
CNN goes live just after 4am DC time, on a Sunday.
Sux 4 tr8rs, because no news would be good news for them.

No. we think you are obsessed with Trump. He must occupy a very large part of your brain.
