(2,664 posts)Again, we see why President Biden calls this creep TSF. If he had even a shred of decency, he would remember that this young lady leaves behind grieving relatives and friends. I just can't!!!

(2,336 posts)I was always thinking of Trump's thumb and the chapter on 'Murderer's Thumb'

(47,914 posts)about thumbs in a palmistry book years ago and his thumb sends up all kinds of red flags.

(2,336 posts)Yeah, him & his thumb + comments made about his personality shortcomings made by his own mother do give one cause to say, 'hmmmm'

(47,914 posts)are manifested in aspects of our physical appearance. To me, his thumbs look threatening and aggressive, though he might be over compensating because they are rather small (sorry, couldn't resist).
Actually with Trump, I think we can see so much of who he is as a person by looking at him physically. He really is an open book in so many ways and like Dorian Gray's painting, all his nasty personality traits are coming to the surface as he gets older. It is getting harder and harder for him to disguise what a mean, rotten person he is. Ugly on the inside and out.

(47,914 posts)Age tends to bring out who and what we really are and if there is any doubt, it is usually written on one's face.

(47,914 posts)A cranky old person isn't necessarily cranky because they are old. They could just be a cranky young person who got older and probably crankier.

(1,825 posts)There is zero correlation between physical appearance and behaviour. That kind of thinking went by the wayside in the 19th century. What we do have evidence for is how bigoted, judgmental social responses to physical appearance can affect behaviour in the people with the so-called undesirable attributes.
So the cause of bad behaviour from people who have certain physical characteristics is sometimes born of bigotry, not of their appearance itself.
Bigotry like what you're exhibiting here.
Also: The size of his fingers has zero to do with why his thumb bends that way, and everything to do with being double-jointed, like up to 25% of the general population.
Including nearly all of my family, who have all kinds of finger sizes, from short and stubby to long and narrow. Not a single one of the double-jointed in the family has any proclivity for violence, never mind any record of being such.
But thanks for the random bigotry, anyway.
PatSeg
(47,914 posts)Nice way to start off, accusing other members of bigotry. That said, I believe you took too much of what was said literally and in the process perhaps missed the point.
NanaCat
(1,825 posts)Full of people with double-jointed thumbs that bend back like TSF's are all murderers? Seriously?
Thanks a lot for your bigoted presumptions.
Stop believing ignorant grifters who are in no way qualified to make legitimate scientific conclusions.
Attilatheblond
(2,336 posts)I mentioned something in an old book and that TSF's thumbs reminded me about it. NOWHERE did I say I subscribe to what the book said.
You don't know me and I would appreciate it, greatly, if you would not assume I make 'bigoted presumptions', at least until you actually know me, and maybe, you know, buy me dinner.
Frankly, if you saw the old photos of the positions my contortionist mother could manage, your own family's double jointedness might pale in comparison. The example of 'murderer's thumb' in the old book had nothing to do with being double jointed.
You possibly erred in presuming I believe 'ignorant grifters who are in no way qualified to make legitimate scientific conclusions' so I won't get my back up. And I truly hope the rest of your day is pleasant and calm.

Could be her umm.... daughter.
I would have thought that Dumpster Fire would want the two young blonde girls next to him, and then the other three young girls.
Let the two dudes be on the ends, far away from him.

(15,302 posts)In addition to the hideous expressions on their pusses, the figures on either side of TSF are physically repelled. Note how their bodies positions' relative to where their necks connect to the heads. The brains are trying to get as far as possible from the walking orange stinkbomb.
