differentiate

A different way to say "think," based on the fact that differentiating is a key function of thinking.
Is the ability to differentiate—to tell things apart, to distinguish between things, to determine which thing is better, which thing is more important—the essence of intelligence and also of thought? the researcher asked himself. His cousin, a stand-up comedian, word inventor, and word artist quipped, "might dif-FOR-en-ti-ate' mean the ability to differentiate what a thing is used 'for.' And could "differentiate" surreally mean, something along the lines of she ate differently, different she ate?

Differentiate

I genuinely can't differentiate between slights and compliments. My bad. I think it's a tone thing. Am I being mocked? I have no idea. I'm so completely socially inept I cannot tell whether or not someone is on my side or hates my guts.

A word used in Singapore by Singaporean and Malaysian. It means organized stalking, the perpetrators are obviously the Singaporeans and Malaysians.

Organized Stalking is a form of terrorism used against an individual in a malicious attempt to reduce the quality of a persons life so they will: have a nervous break-down, become incarcerated, institutionalized, experience constant mental, emotional, or physical pain, become homeless, and/or
commit suicide. This is done using well-orchestrated accusations, lies, rumors, bogus investigations, setups, framings, intimidation, overt or covert threats, vandalism, thefts, sabotage, torture, humiliation, emotional terror and general harassment. It is a “ganging up” by members of the community who follow an organizer and participate in a systematic “terrorizing” of an individual.”
-Mark M. Rich
Organized stalking is a crime against humanity.
