Trivialness

While it is easy to write off these petty questions and discussions as an inevitable part of the political process, the trivialness of the presidential campaign is actually a recent development in American history. ❋ Michael Bendetson (2012)

There is much that could be said about this latest Bush travesty of attempted Rovian image-making, but mostly I feel a large sadness about the trivialness of it. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Yet I find it not to be an essential ingredient, and after going without it for a year am still in the land of the living; and I am glad to escape the trivialness of carrying a bottleful in my pocket, which would sometimes pop and discharge its contents to my discomfiture. ❋ Unknown (2004)

It is worth the expense of youthful days and costly hours, if you learn only some words of an ancient language, which are raised out of the trivialness of the street, to be perpetual suggestions and provocations. ❋ Unknown (2004)

Snug in Concord, Henry David Thoreau hailed the later career of John Brown, the greatest of the antislavery killers: “we are lifted out of the trivialness and dust of politics into the region of truth and manhood.” ❋ Richard Brookhiser (2002)

Yet I find it not to be an essential ingredient, and after going without it for a year am still in the land of the living; and I am glad to escape the trivialness of carrying a bottle-full in my pocket, which would sometimes pop and discharge its contents to my discomfiture. ❋ Unknown (1854)

Her thoughts, affections, desires and occupations never rise above trivialness. ❋ Charles Sainte-Foi (1833)

Bush played that card ad naseum, he and his cronies painting those against the Patriot Act and other similar atrocities as classless individualists who value the trivialness of self over the supposed well-being of everyone else. ❋ Unknown (2010)

She has left us this bright folio of her "lightning and fragrance in one," scintillant with stardust as perhaps no other before her, certainly not in this country, none with just her celestial attachedness, or must we call it detachedness, and withal also a sublime, impertinent playfulness which makes her images dance before one like offspring of the great round sun, fooling zealously with the universes at her feet, and just beyond her eye, with a loftiness of spirit and of exquisite trivialness seconded by none. ❋ Marsden Hartley (N/A)

Who cares a hundred years from now? Who'll remember all the players? Who'll remember all [the clowns]? [What are you going] to do and what does this life really mean? Well, when it all comes down..we're just [cycling] trivialities. ❋ Fanboi25 (2011)

Answers: When asked to describe yourself, a nontrivial answer would be, "My name is Joe [Schmoe]. I'm 5'10" and weigh [170] lbs." A trivial answer would be, "I'm a human. I know English." Questions/Tasks: In mathematics, computing the values of [integrals] is a trivial task, (even though it can be hard), because the methods for computing integrals are known. ❋ Alexander TG (2006)

Hym “Right. That ☝️ is just a byproduct of my attitude. That’s trivial. None of that matters. That’s the trivial part. The meaningful part is the life of [servitude]. That’s what’ll give my life meaning. And what it will mean is that I don’t get to decide for myself what is trivial or [non-trivial]. Jordan Peterson will do that for me. That’s a part of his servitude to me... somehow. I still don’t see how I’m being served but that’s clearly an attitude thing on my part. His responsibility to do things like tell the truth, [give credit] where credit is due, act out the things he believes... Also trivial! It comes secondary to ‘not being manipulated.’ That’s the non-trivial thing. Here’s the hierarchy of value: Not being manipulated / Acting out your values / Actually believing the shit you say ❋ Hym Iam (2022)

Mary: [Karla] [misspelled] you're on Facebook. That means she is stupid and I am better than her. Amy: You should not judge people on trivial matters. She is probably very smart in her own way and that could have been a typo. It's Facebook! [Chill out] and stop caring about stupid stuff. ❋ Universal One Love (2013)
