anyone ever tried to make a fat suit?

i'm thinking one with a tophat, straggly wig, horns, custom trench of vibrant contrast, horns and a loincloth w/big boots

fat hands and a fat mask should complete the illusion

Although choice ought to have an important effect on whether or not
people make correspondent inferences, research shows that people do
not take choice sufficiently into account when judging another person's
attributes or attitudes. There is a tendency for perceivers to assume that
when an actor engages in an activity, such as stating a point of view or
attitude, the statements made are indicative of the actor's true beliefs,
even when there may be clear situational forces affecting the behaviour.

like, when people don't have the precise tools to express what they mean,
shall we use simple intonation inference to deduce they mean what they say?

if you had all the money in the world, they would probably slay you on principle...

something like, 'hey, we were using that!'

leaves to ask how little could fully express your opulence

In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water.

Over long periods of time, deposition builds the characteristic geographic pattern of a river delta.

aren't neural pathways merely streams of consciousness in the river of the mind?

Anything you learn, regardless of what it is, becomes a part of the vast neuronal associations in the brain, which contain over one billion nerve cells. When you learn that Alexander the Great tried to conquer the world, as did Napoleon, your brain ties these people together into a neural association in your brain concerning history, historical events, and leaders who lived in the past. When you learn to tie your shoes, ride a bicycle, drive a car, use a computer keyboard, or learn a musical instrument, your brain gradually develops the neural pathways to make your "practicing" become automatic. The more you practice, and the more quality time you put into your practice, the more that your brain pathways change. Fairly soon, you know how to tie your shoes and you don't think about it anymore. This practice you did has made tying your shoes become automatic. Learning a musical instrument works the same way. At first, it is difficult and hard, but the more you practice, the better you get. As you take one step at a time, and practice thirty minutes a day on your instrument, you continue to improve and get better. What is happening? Your brain is arranging a new neural pathway or association for learning to play that instrument. As your brain develops this new pathway (it grows the more you practice and learn), you get better and better at playing your instrument. It is exactly the same way with cognitive (learning) therapy for social anxiety.

a single blood cell is useless without the liver, the heart, the lungs, bones themselves

just as each of these is like an half a word's letters, jumbled about, without the blood cell

synergy... emergence... holism

aren't neural pathways merely streams of consciousness in the river of the mind?

appurtenances

which is more true?
