listening to the winds of change

(lyrics from the song "wind of change" by The Scorpions) :

a phrase meaning: to be clever enough to (correctly) detect and/or predict patterns of future social change in one's society, and adapt to said patterns before most other people around you.

during the 2016 presidential election campaign most higher ups in the democratic party didnt start listening to the winds of change until it was too late, but instead focused on perpetuating obama's legacy; no wonder they lost the election.

Listen, asshole

A phrase to pull the awareness of an unaware/natural asshole to that one is not there to play with them and doesn't care for their bullshit, and if they don't get it, they should try to learn and start by recognizing how much they suck.

Listen, asshole. People have better things to do than dealing with something like you.

I don't need to listen to you for my life to improve

I don't need to do any of that.

Hym "So I'm not going to. I don't need to listen to you for my life to improve. I'm already better THAN you and I'm not doing anything other than child murder until I get credit and paid for AI. So, you can eat a dick. Maybe OTHER PEOPLE need to do that but I do not and am not going to. You pay and then you go fuck yourself. That's how this works. On my doorstep. Pay. Go fuck yourself. In that order. Whatever lesson you are trying to enforce here is lost on me. Fuck your kids. They are shit. And fuck you."

Retard "I wouldn't be letting the steal it if-"

Hym "Yeah, no, we can all see that you let people steal selectively and use that to coerce compliance. I don't give a fuck about anything you have to say about life shit-brain. Are YOU the creator of AI? No. But you want me to need you to tell me something so you're doing this and it's pathetic. I'm not listening. You get somebody's kid stabbed before you make whatever point you're trying to make. Fuck you."

Passive Listener

When someone should be listening to what you are saying but they are mentally too busy thinking of what they want to say or are interrupting you to get their point across or jump ahead of you telling the story because they can't wait for you to finish. This causes them to ask a question about the thing you are talking about before you are able to get it out or ask about something you said but they missed because they aren't really listening. As opposed to an active listener who is genuinely interested in hearing what you are trying to tell them regarding an incident or a story or information.

You: So I told her don't be all up in my business because. ..
Them: So she left or stayed or what?

You: I'm trying to tell you what happened. Don't be such a passive listener.
