I really don’t need no light to see through you

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.
When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.

The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it. — A faux positive statement to lighten a heinous situation that will stick with you for the rest of your life.
1) Police homicide photographer documenting the scene of a mass shooting at an American high school:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

2) Family cleaning out a closet after the death of a loved one:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

3) An American citizen voting for president in the 2024 election that will determine the destiny of our democracy:

Well let’s go: The sooner we get to it; the sooner we’ll get through it.

This and other techniques like this are taught in cults and at Harvard University. No, I’m not kidding Harvard has a Hap-y-ness Studies Program. It’s designed to control populations and foment political overthrow. They’d “like to teach the world to sing — in perfect harmony.”

Intrusive thoughts

Terrible thoughts that are repetitive and could come into your mind at any time without a warning. Also referred to as “Devil's Whispers”. A common symptom of OCD, but not always is. It easily convinces everyone around you that you’re going insane.
Someone 1: *Gets a panic attack*
Someone 2: “U good?”
Someone 1: “Nope. I had that same stupid intrusive thought for the 100th time today”
Someone 2: “Just be positive and your intrusive thoughts will go away”

As you can see, “Someone 2” has no idea what an intrusive thought is, and thinks it’s controllable.
