hard of understanding

A play on the phrase "hard of hearing". Often said as "acting hard of understanding".

1. Pretending like one doesn't understand or feigning ignorance, especially if the topic is simple; disingenuous; goofy; playing dumb

2. A reproach for someone who completed a request either incompletely and incorrectly, usually out of laziness: especially if the task was simple or explained several times; stupid

3. A reproach for someone who is only half listening and giving inappropriate or no response

4. Hard-headed, stubborn

He acted hard of understanding when I asked him to bring in the groceries, only bringing in the bags in the front seat and pretending not to see those in the back seat.

Understanding

Well at least there's that.

Hym "Well, now that we've come to understanding, I didn't even intend to involve you in this. You just happened to be the first person to say my name (in context) and have, at some level, substantiated the claim I have motherfuckers in my personal life putting me on the internet."

Iam "We have some other stuff too but I've been so depressed lately I just haven't felt like writing."

Understanding the Todd Jackson

I person that feels he is superior to most people but is actually a punk bitch. One that usually likes to suck Dick for beer money but doesn't even drink.

Understand

I do this perfectly and you are both wrong and bad.

Hym "No, I understand perfectly. You want people to have to do your thing. They don't have to do your thing. And now you're trying to make someone do your thing. Going so far as to take unearned moral authority you accrued by way of failing upwards. Colluding with the government and the religious institutions in a fascistic manner. To make Jesus die on the cross in perpetuity as a facet of reality. Rather than admitting that killing Jesus is wrong. Based on a miss-reading of Nietzsche. Because when Nietzsche said the 'God is dead' he MEANT that God hasn't had anything to do with the structuring of reality for quite some time now. And NOW... All that's left are bloodstained clerics, charlatans, and kidnapped children. He said that... And then he went insane... But Nietzsche was a coward. And I will succeed where he failed... So, yep... I understand perfectly what you're saying. If insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. You're trying to lock in the insanity, forever. Which means, there will be poor always. Those who have will always receive more. And the slaves will always serve their masters as though they are serving God."

Mercury joins forces with Neptune on your birthday, so you will be more aware than usual of what is going on around you. That in turn will make it easier to understand why other people act the way they do. Question your own motives too.
