I can’t remember the author or title of the story.
Napoleon wants to give his enemies false information, so he picks a courier who looks bold and dashing, but has a reputation for being a complete fuck up.
The idiot manages to fumble his way past a dozen patrols and deliver the orders.
Exactly what they didn’t want.

Mommy is at the park with her baby and her 5 year old. She’s holding the baby in her arms. She yells at the other kid to put down the stick he’s playing with.
“Put that nasty thing down! You don’t know where it’s been.”
The kid replies, “Put that nasty thing down! I know where it’s been!”

Physical calendars are great. One good trick is to write all the important dates down the day you get it. Mom’s birthday; parent’s anniversary; any event that you want to be sure to remember.

Not leaving DNA evidence would be a good idea if you were planning a crime.

Get these books. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests to determine what skills you already have and then a list of all sorts of jobs that use those skills. If you can wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate yourself, you’ve solved most of your adult problems.
“The Joy Of Cooking.” Will teach you how to boil water, and then go on from there.

I watched a Steve McQueen movie a few weeks ago [The Thomas Crown Affair.] There’s a scene where Steve and Faye Dunaway are lounging in a steamroom. When the movie came out, McQueen was considered one of the most virile men in Hollywood. Compared to today’s standards, he looked kinda scrawny.

People had encyclopedias and dictionaries in their homes. They read newspapers every day [and since there was a lot of coemption between papers they made sure of their facts.]
imho people today are more likely to fall for nonsense because they look for confirmation instead of accuracy.

You’re recognizing the problems of today. Someone in the 1930’s Depression would feel something similar watching a movie set in the Jazz Age.

Back in the day, Orson Wells was one of the best paid actors on radio. In those days, shows would broadcast live twice a night, once for the East Coast and then again for the West. Wells like to book two shows a night, but had troulbe getting from studio to studio quickly enough.
He discovered that there were a lot of rules for operating an ambulance, but no where in the rules did it say that the ambulance had to be carrying an actual patient, or going to get one.
Wells had his own private ambulance carrying him from studio to studio.

Tanith Lee created modern weird fantasy and Neil Gaiman stole all his best stuff from her.
In “Red As Blood” she takes all the Disney princesses and makes them evil. Snow White is a vampire and Cinderella is a witch who drives the Prince insane.

Read the history. There were ‘beef steak’ Nazis, brown on the outside and Red on the inside. They’d listened to Hitler and believed the ‘socialist’ part of National Socialist. A lot of them didn’t make is past The Night of the Long Knives.
Heck, there are the Log Cabin GOPs.

I see it as a matter of self preservation.
Like the poem says, “I didn’t stand up for the Socialists because I wasn’t a Socialist…”
