TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Literate people don't herd well and tend not to get these positions. One of my bosses was always writing signs and memos about how we'd better do this or that or we could LOOSE OUR JOBS.

How did he use it? Like, what the hell man, how would that even sound like it works? :horrormirth:

"The increase in fixed costs could be impactful on our profit forecasts."

Not only mangling a word, but doing it to state the fucking obvious?  Yeesh.

You should read this guy's weekly report to Houston.  He never uses a word where a paragraph will do.

I believe that is the purpose of having a PhD.

Fixed cost increases will affect our bottom line profit.

People like Jim can't be trusted with the word "affect".  They will always, always confuse it with "effect".

In fact, I bet he couldn't remember which was which, and invented "impactful" as a desperation move.  :lol:

No, it's a "word" in exec circles, these days.
