Autistic people often consider deciphering intention of others “mindreading”. If you are autistic, then I apologize. I can’t expect someone to do something they’re not capable of. However, generally, intention is often graspable – it is part of communication. People don’t talk in vacuums free of histories; you yourself have these whole grand histories of industries – somehow dictionary publishers are leftist – or more importantly to your cause, anti-rightist – and therefore attacking [something] by their actions. This is a complicated set of intentions you have about these things involving a lot of people doing a lot of things. A more rational set of intentions can be inferred by an individual with a known history in communication such as Amy Comey Barret in a particular situation where her intent was clear – and likely a long overdue modification to the dictionary took place after that event.

He’s my age. Like, less than a year apart and I went to school with kids like him as far as personality goes. It’s not that he isn’t doing and won’t do good things; i mean, his place in history books is guaranteed. But he’s a Thomas Edison complete with the showmanship – and the storytelling. Look at what he’s distracting us from at each turn and you get a more true story. For Every big event, there’s some piece of gigantic bad news he’s hiding. We like to be lied to by charming men and he knows how to do it; He’s hard to complain about him to most people; he’s very likable and charming and people will go to bat for him at the slightest grumble.
