WHAT IF YOU COULD READ PEOPLES MINDS:

WHAT IF YOU COULD READ PEOPLES MINDS:

In this story, I am trying to answer the question of: WHAT IF you could read minds. Put yourself in the position of the main character, whom I named Chris. Because, it is both a male and female name.

Here's some of things that would probably happen if you could read people's minds:

You go shopping at Walmart. The first person you see is an old man. He is thinking, "You are really ugly!"

You don't let that bother you. You just continue shopping.

As you continue walking around, you see somebody that you find very attractive. You start to wonder what they think about you. As you read their mind, you are disappointed, because, they think you are funny looking!

You don't let that bother you too much. You just go on to the next aisle and mind your business.

Chris soon runs into another man that he knows, but, you don't know what they think of you.

Reading their mind, you find out what he really thinks of you. You are horrified to find out what he is thinking, "You are a dork and an asshole! I hate you! I want to shoot you so badly!"

Horrified, Chris runs away to another part of the store.

You spot a nice looking person in the next aisle. So you focus your eyes on their forehead and squint, activating your ability to read minds. This is a total stranger that you've never seen before.

They were thinking, "I don't know you. But, you're ugly and you look like an idiot! Your clothes look dorky. I hate you!

As you continue walking through the store, you see somebody that you find attractive. Focusing all your attention on them, you think, "I hope s/he finds me attractive to."

As you read their mind, you are in luck, they are thinking the same thing about you! They are thinking, "S/he is very attractive. I want to get to know you! I want to date you!"

Wasting no time, Chris quickly approaches that person and gives them a kiss. Then asks them out on a date.

Chris continued walking until you see another person. This guy is thinking some very nasty thoughts! You want to say, "Hay, you are sexually harassing me!"

Then you think, "He never verbally said anything that he was thinking, so I can't do anything about it. I can't sue or anything."

Chris moves on to the beer aisle. You want to pick up a case of Corona. You proceed down the aisle and you see Five people. All but One of them are wearing facemasks. You then realize that you forgot your mask at home and you are really taking a chance that you might get the virus with the same name as the beer you intend to buy!

Reading the mind of the One guy in the beer aisle who is not wearing a mask, You find out that he does have the Coronavirus and he is trying to spread the virus to everyone he can!

You abandon your shopping cart and run as fast as you can. As you're running away from this guy, you yell as loud as you can so everyone can hear you, "This guy has the Coronavirus! Stay away from him! Ahhhhhh!!!"

Ten minutes later, you go back to retrieve your cart.

Continuing to walk through the store, Chris sees another guy, reading this guys mind, you notice that he is thinking of a really funny joke.

You laugh and tell him, "That is a really hilarious joke!"

The guy gives you a funny look and asks you how you knew he was even thinking about a joke?

You just say, "I don't know, just a lucky guess." Then you walk away.

A person of your same gender walks by you, they smile and give you googly eyes.

They are thinking nasty, homosexual thoughts about you!

Chris gets really offended. You say, "You sick ******* ******! I am not gay!"

Then you punch the idiot in the head!

Continuing through the store, you notice the next person is not thinking about you at all. They are looking for a specific item in the store.

Chris says, "That is in aisle 12, on the Right side, top shelf."

That person, asks you how you knew what they were looking for. Did you read my mind?

You laugh and walk away, saying nothing.

Walking around the toy aisle, you see a little kid crying. Reading the kid's mind was not good. She is thinking, "OMG, the Doctor just told me, I have terminal cancer and I only have One month left to live!

Chris gives her a hug and says, "I am sorry to hear about your medical condition."

The Tenth person Chris sees is thinking, "I hate my job! They treat me bad and they don't pay me enough!"

Chris hands them a piece of paper with a friend's name and number on it.

You say, "Call my friend. He will hire you. Put me down as a reference. Have a nice day."

Chris goes and pays for their groceries and walks out into the parking lot.

While walking to your car, you a guy you know. He is an executive at Microsoft.

He was thinking, "Tomorrow, Microsoft stock is going to go up to $1,500 per share! I can't tell anyone till tomorrow. Today, it is only $100/share.

Immediately after leaving Walmart, Chris goes out and buys 10,000 shares of Microsoft. You sell them the next day, for $1,500 each!

Another guy you see in the parking lot is thinking, "I am going to set a world record for being the first human to ever jump out of a plane from 35,000 ft with no parachute!"

Chris is horrified and quickly talks the guy out of it.

A woman walks by Chris and she is thinking about some problems she has that are similar to some problems that you have.

Chris gives her a hug and says, "It will be OK. Let me help you. I have the same problems."

Two guys in Red jackets with the word, "Bloods on them are thinking, "We are going to attack the Crips and start a big gang war!"

Chris calls the police and reports the gangsters. Then you go tell the Crips what the Bloods were thinking.

You prevented the incident, before it ever happened.

The next guy is wearing a business suit. He was thinking, "I just got a new safe, the combination is: 1-2-3. I have

$10 Million in the safe."

You are extremely tempted, but, decide not to steal the money.

Chris went home and planned a trip to Las Vegas.

The next week, when you get to Vegas, Chris plays Poker. Reading people's mind here is fun. You know all the cards everyone else has because, you read their minds. You manage to win every game. At the end of the day, you leave the casino with over $100 Million.

People start to get suspicious of Chris. They suspect you might be a witch, Maybe you're Clairvoyant, you are a time traveler from the future, psychic or an alien from another galaxy.

Chris gets famous really fast. You are shown on international news. People write books and make 5 movies about you.

Doctors and Psychologists examine you. But, they can't figure out how you can read minds.

When the FBI finds out about you, you're arrested and then questioned about some crimes they suspect you may have committed. But, at the end of the day, you are released with no charges.

The FBI hires you to help them solve crime.

Next week, Chris signs up for some college classes.

Chris gets a 4.0 in every class, because, you could read the Professor's mind. You already knew all the answers to every test, before the class even started!

A few weeks later, Chris' magic power wears off and you become a normal person and live happily ever after. the end.

The Moon.

MOON FACTS:

Orbit is: 27.32 days

Diameter: 2,159.2 Miles (3,475 Kilometers)

Perigee (its closest approach) the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). Apogee  (the farthest away it gets) the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696 km) from Earth. The average distance from Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km).

Lunar Phase Period; 29.5 days.

Orbital speed around Earth: 2,288 Miles Per Hour (3,683 Kilometers Per Hour).

It has about 16.6% of Earth's gravitational force.

Escape Velocity: 1.47 Miles/second (2.38 K).

The word "Month" comes from MOON.

Luna is the Latin word for Moon.

The second largest crater in our Solar System is at the bottom of our Moon.

Every month, the Moon disappears for a few days. This is called the "New Moon". It happens because the Moon is hidden from the Sun by the Earth.

The Moon does not generate its own light. It reflects the Sun light off of its surface. When the Earth blocks only a small part of the Moon, this causes Lunar Phases, like, Crescent, Half Moon, etc.

(Not only the Moon doesn't produce its own light, but, none of the planet's, moons and other satellites produce light, everything reflects Sunlight. That's what we is Sunlight being reflected off planets, their rings and moons.)

We can't see the American flags on the Moon, because they are too small and too far away to be seen through a telescope.

Because of the sunlight, radiation and the fact that there's no atmosphere on the Moon, the US flags on the Moon have all turned White over the years.

Because there is no atmosphere on the Moon, it's almost a total vacuum. In a vacuum, there is no air, wind or molecules in the air.

Sound does not travel in a vacuum. So, THEORETICALLY, you could stand two inches away from someone and scream as loud as you can directly in their ear and they wouldn't be able to hear you. Again, I say that one is only THEORETICAL! It can't be proven Scientifically and until it is Scientifically proven, it's just a theory.

The Moon is moving away from Earth at approximately 3 Centimetres per year.

Since there's no wind on the Moon, Neil Armstrong's footprints will be there for a really long time. Millions of years.

The strongest influence on our ocean tides is the Moon. Other forces include the Sun's gravity and other forces under the water.

A full Moon does NOT make people go crazy! That is a myth and a superstition. Hollywood only makes it worse by making movies that say the full Moon makes people crazy.

When you see a ring around the Moon, this is usually caused by the Moonlight reflecting off water and ice in the clouds.

The Moon is "Tidally Locked" to the Earth. That means, the same side of the Moon always faces Earth. That's why we can never see the Lunar side of the Moon.

Moon temperature range: Negative  -280 F at night to 260 F during the day.

Only 12 humans have ever walked on the Moon. They were all Americans.

At the Moon's Apogee, you could fit all the planets, including Pluto, in the space between the Earth and the Moon. There would be only a little bit of space left over.

The Earth and Moon were created at around the same time. Since, they are both made out of similar materials, Scientists theorize that a large object may of hit Earth in its molten stage and knocked some material out into space, that material came together and formed the Moon. (That is not proven as fact, it's just the most accepted, Scientific theory.)

Occasionally, Moon rocks fall out into space. Some of them land on the Earth. Most of them are really small and they burn up in the atmosphere. But, if you know how to identify Moon rocks, you might find one in your backyard someday. The easiest and best place to find them is Antarctica. Most rocks from Earth's surface are buried under the snow. A rock on top of the snow probably came from space. (However, civilian's, people who are not Scientists and a few Special, military personnel, are not allowed on the continent of Antarctica. Except for some small areas around the outer perimeter.

You can actually buy an acre of land on the Moon. It would be One acre of the "Sea of Tranquility". I don't know why anyone would want to do it, because you can't actually go there and see the land that you bought. 

Say goodbye to stick shift vehicles!

It Is about damn time they start getting rid of that damn, useless stick shift bulls**t! It's old, outdated technology! Nobody even cares about them anymore!
I have always hated those worthless, stupid things!
They don't get better gas mileage than automatics. They used to, but, not anymore! Automatics are getting much better mileage than manuals now!
You don't have more control over a manual than automatics! That's a big myth! I have less control over a stick than an auto.
There's too many things to concentrate on when driving the stupid things. You must concentrate on your speed, timing, hitting the clutch and shifting and getting the timing on that right.
There's no valid excuse to continue making them anymore!
Soon, they will be much more expensive.
You already have to special order them from the manufacturer now anyway. That makes them more expensive and not worth it.
I personally hate them. They are too hard to drive! Waste of time. They ALWAYS cause me too many problems! The transmission and clutch have broken too many times on me!
Millenials can't drive them. That makes them obsolete and pointless.
Just keep things simple: You hit the gas and the vehicle goes! Shifting is an unnecessary waste of time!
Several Trucking companies already have 100% or at least 99% automatic transmission vehicles.
The US ARMY now has only,100% automatic vehicles. Except some vehicles, like old Jeeps left over from Vietnam. They rarely ever use them! The US military does not teach people how to drive stick shifts anymore, that's a total waste of time!
I don't know why anyone even wants to drive the stupid things anymore! There's no point in driving them anymore!
The automatic transmission was invented in the 1930s. My grandparents were around then. They were just little kids at that time.
Now, for the jackasses who still insist on getting those stupid things, you can spend extra money on an Automated transmission. They have the best features of both automatic and stick. There is no clutch. You just hit the gear shifter on the steering wheel. It's still a pointless, waste of time and it's more expensive. But, it's easier to drive than a stick shift. Even these will soon disappear! They will quit making them soon after they quit making manuals!
For people who are Autistic, they are very hard to drive! They require too much multitasking! Autistics usually are not good at multitasking. They are dangerous for those people to drive!
There's only Two places where stick shifts belong: In the junkyard and in the ancient history museum, setting right next to the horse and buggy!

Idioms that Autistic people may not understand:

IDIOMS THAT PEOPLE WITH AUTISM AND ASPERGER'S MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND:

Children and even some adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders might not understand some of the expressions people use everyday.
One common characteristic of Autism Spectrum Disorders is a tendency to take things literally.
Interpreting things literally has actually helped me understand jokes and even write a few of my own original jokes.
Most people with Asperger's don't understand jokes very well. However, I am an exception. I have always been good at telling and understanding jokes.
If you have an Aspie (Someone with Asperger's) kid, you should avoid using these expressions, because they might not understand them or, worse yet, they could take them literally:
1. Raining cats and dogs.
Pouring rain.
The kid might get confused when they look out the window and they don't see any animals falling out of the sky.
2. This is a "Drill". Or, I am going to "drill" you on Math.
To give someone or a group of people a test.
The kid might think you're going to go to the garage, grab the drill and drill a hole in their head!
3. You hit the nail on the head.
To answer a question perfectly, exactly right.
They may get confused, because they are not using a hammer and pounding a metal nail into wood.
4. You bit off more than you can chew.
Trying to take on too many responsibilities at once.
5. You just opened a big can of worms.
Cause a serious problem.
6. I see the light.
To suddenly understand something you had trouble understanding before.
7. What's up?
It even took me a long time to figure this one out! I now realize it's just some people's way of saying: "Hello, how are you doing?"
That one confused me for a long time! I never knew how to answer that. Then, I listened to how other people responded to it. I learned that, it's not meant to be a question and people don't expect you to answer it. It's just another way to say hello. The only response people expect to that "question" is: Hi, how ya' doin'". They don't expect you to stop and talk most of the time. But, it took me a long time to figure that one out!
8. Stoned.
Meaning: High from drugs.
It took me a while to figure this one out to. I always thought it meant: To throw rocks at someone. Although, I was correct, that is only One definition of the word. The other definition, High, is also correct.
9. I have a "Lead Foot".
To drive a car really fast.
10. "Keep an eye on this".
To watch over and protect something from theft or damage.
An Autistic kid might literally, take the item you want them to guard, pick it up, put it up to their face and hold it against their eyes.
11. Arrest.
To stop something from moving.
If you use this word around an Autistic kid, they might run and hide, because they might think the police are coming to take them to jail!

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. (REVENGE ON SCHOOL.)

I hated school worse than anything and I didn't even care about it!
There were a lot of Teachers and students I couldn't stand! I also hated homework and schoolwork and almost everything else about school!
The best and most exciting day of my life was the last day of school, my Sr year, because I knew I'd never have to go back to school ever again for the rest of my life!
No matter what happened that day, nothing could have ruined the day for me. Someone could have pointed a gun at me and took all my money and I wouldn't of even cared! I never carried much money with me to school anyway, I usually brought $5.00 or less to school. I had no reason to bring any more than that. Then I didn't have to worry about getting it lost or stolen. The only thing in school we needed money for was a Pepsi machine.
When the last bell rang and I was leaving, I did something very immature, but, it was fun! I dumped a trashcan on the floor in the hallway and drew a long line on a row of lockers with a permanent marker as I walked down the hall towards the door! I know it was childish revenge, but, for that one day, I didn't care! That was my way of celebrating the best day of my life! Since I wasn't old enough to LEGALLY drink beer and Moonshine, I had to do something fun and destructive. That was also a way for me to release some of my frustration on a place that I hated!
Then I flipped everyone the middle finger, screamed, "F*** you everybody! I hate you and I hate this ****** place! I'll never come back here again!"
Then I walked out the door smiling! I think that was the only day in my entire that I actually smiled at school!
I HATED school with a passion! I'll never go back there again!

The next day, I got up in the morning, just to laugh at my brother, because he had to get ready to go to school and I didn't!

Why do we say "Break a leg" to wish someone "Good Luck"?

When people tell someone: "Good luck", that person will often have bad luck.
People would get on stage and they would either mess up their performance or fall down and get injured. Or similar bad things would happen.
The actor would come off stage when the show was over and accuse their friends of putting a curse on them by saying "Good luck". They would be really mad at their friends for putting that curse on them with their kind words.
So, people started saying just the opposite. Rather than wishing them good luck and risk cursing them and making them fail, they wished them bad luck, by telling them to "Break a leg".
The reason was, because, when they said: Good luck, it often had the opposite affect. Then the performer was mad at them and said it was their fault.
People figured that by wishing them bad luck, that will hopefully have the opposite affect to. So, the performer will not blame them for causing them to fail.
This was a really long time ago when people started to do this. The tradition never died. People have been doing this ever since. Until now, almost nobody knew why!

Can Marijuana kill you? Can anyone Scientifically PROVE their answer?

First of all let me say: I have a Marijuana Card. I do use Medical Marijuana. I 100% support federal legalization of Marijuana.
With that said, this is from my experience:

Literally every person I've ever heard say Marijuana is perfectly safe, it is impossible to die from it has been just a regular person or a stoner! I've never heard a Doctor, Nurse, Pharmacist, or Scientist say this! In other words, 100% of the people I've heard this from don't truly know what they are talking about!
I have a Medical Marijuana Card in FL. When I went to the Dr to get my card, she said, "She doesn't know of any 'DOCUMENTED CASES' of people dying from Marijuana itself. But, people can and do die from smoke inhalation, auto accidents, because they drove after smoking weed, falling down and hitting their head on the ground, picking fights with people in a bar and other things.
The Marijuana plant itself didn't kill them, but, the other affects that the weed caused did kill them.
Also, I've never heard an Historian say that nobody ever in human history has ever died from weed. Humans have been around for over 7 Million years! The oldest human remains ever found were over 7 Million years old. The English language was invented about 1,000 years ago. People didn't always keep accurate historic records, especially not about Marijuana. If someone does find historical documents about someone dying from Marijuana
1 Million years ago, it will not be written in English. It might not be written in any language that exists today at all!
We will never know if someone died from weed 1 Million years ago.
Before humans came Dinosaurs and Thousands of other extinct animals. Did any Dinosaurs ever die from eating Marijuana? We will never know!
Weed has been legal in Amsterdam and several other countries for a long time. Until the 1930s, it was also legal in the US.
We will also never know if at least ONE person died back in the 1800s or before that.
I asked the Doctor how much weed someone would have to use, before it would be fatal. She said, it'd be a lot! Like, smoking over 100 joints, one right after the other! Or eat tons of Marijuana cookies.
But, if you smoked 100 joints in a row, that's stupid! You'd die of Lung cancer before the weed itself killed you.
I say again: I got my information from a Doctor! I also have a FL, Medical Marijuana Card. I do use Marijuana occasionally, for medical reasons. I also know about weed from personal experience.
99% of the people whom I've talked to about weed are NOT experts! They are know it all's, stoners, people who have friends who smoke weed and people like that, who really have no clue what they're talking about! I've only talked to ONE (1) expert on the subject. She was a Marijuana Doctor. I've also read a lot of medical information about weed and I use Medical Weed.

(My experience: I have used Marijuana over 100 times. I always get light headed, every time I use it. When I smoke it, it makes me cough, sometimes a very bad, loud cough.
It has made me vomit two different times.
I can't concentrate for more than about Two minutes.
I have no short term memory at all. I tried to read, it took me about 10 minutes to read Two paragraphs and I didn't even remember what I read after I read it!
I can't stand on one foot or walk a straight line.
However, when a friend of mine used THC drops, it didn't have any of those affects on him. In fact, as a Scientific experiment, he drove a car down some back roads, where police don't usually hang out. He did fine. He didn't drive like he was drunk. He stayed between the lines on the road.
Just don't believe everything these  "Experts" tell you! If they are not a Doctor, Nurse, Scientist, Pharmacist or something similar, they are not experts on weed or anything else! Most of them are stupid! Just like a "Barracks Attorney" (Someone in the Army who trays to give you legal advice, but, they are not an Attorney. They never went to law school. But, they only think they know everything.)
Just because you read something on Facebook, doesn't mean it's true! If you do believe everything your friends say or everything you see on the Internet, it could get you killed!!!
Just because everyone you know says something is 100% safe, doesn't make it safe! Nothing is perfectly safe! Not even breathing the air or drinking water is totally safe.
