had a thought yesterday, well it, some workings of the bulb on my shoulders came to the fore, out of the background tasks for a look, probably after watching Australian Story.

anyway the thought delivered in words went the living can be smug about not being dead, which was sort of a joke with a dark truth.

then there were exceptions being perhaps seriously depressed/miserable people, and ill people…

then oddly the word smug completely vanished from my memory and vocabulary and I was unable to reformulate the sentence as I did for two days until I searched for words with the idea in it, and synonyms. It required quite an effort.

Since i’ve written the word down.

back to the dark edge in the joke, and of psychological necessities related….

how much smug do you tolerate in yourself?

and what part does it play in the influence of culture? Whatever internalized, license etc.

I look forward to the sweet embrace of death, not looking forward to old age at all, life can only get harder and less enjoyable.

Kryten had a smug mode

Imagine being a robot and being able to control your emotions any way you want

Robots like kryten could just key in 1000 percent smug where ia I could only mange 5 % smug at best on a good day.

I manged 5 % smug when Stumpy Seahorse and others were wrong about my ex mechanic who tampered with my power system system by loosening two nuts, wanting to diddle me $680.

See my younger brother builds cars so I took it to him who put it up and checked underneath it, he solved my $680 power steering problem by tightening up two nuts.

Smug mode/

Sings, “You don’t know much about FORD 2002 BA components do you….”

Smug mode/

Now looking for another mechanic.

I looked at prices for reconditioned steering racks as well as used ones.

Now for something completely different

> how much smug do you tolerate in yourself?

Unlimited. I’ll take as much smug as I can get.

> and what part does it play in the influence of culture? Whatever internalized, license etc.

Smug used to be severely frowned upon – until that song came out – you know the one.

“Ego Is Not a Dirty Word”, by Skyhooks. Eventually the song won out over previous conditioning.

I sometimes get the feeling that people who have “got it all together” are insufferably smug, just hide it when needed.

Trump has insufferable smug, and has passed it onto his children.

Incumbent congress and senators been there since birth, all have too much smug.

Smug has taken over congress and the senate.

Smug lines all the corridors and has filled most of all the rooms

Smug is in the White House.

Smug everywhere.

Smug is in Australian politics, board rooms, on TV.

Smug everywhere.

I haven’t felt smug in a long time. Last time I felt smug was when I surprised myself by thinking of something clever that amused me muchly.

I do live in Snug. Close but no cigars.

adequacy doubtful requires smug.

but it’d require some definition of smug, I mean the word-concept’s hardly neutral.

Smug definition.

adjective: smug; comparative adjective: smugger; superlative adjective: smuggest

having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one’s achievements. “he was feeling smug after his win” synonyms: self-satisfied, complacent, self-congratulatory, superior, puffed up, pleased with oneself, self-approving, well pleased, proud of oneself;
