I'm new to this site.

One of those days I hope to never have

,,,yeah but <=<i think a level THIMBLE FULL would put him in orbit _ for a week👨‍🚀 where as i NEED 4 DRAUGHTS FOR THIS TO FUNCTION🧠

As recently as 30 years ago, America was over 90% Christian.

BBJong comments on Jul 13, 2019:

Flat out true facts. I recently heard that the ANTI ABORTION is a stance held by RACISTS. They see any birth to white woman would offset the decline in thier population advantage.- So here are 2 groups that only fear the true facts of the issues they espouse. Saving babies; religious freedom; indoctrination; monetary coersion; political power are all examples the push back you stated. They have been "flexing" thier political power for the last decade; it's obvious they are selective in what they support-look at workers rights supported by the Jesuits in south America. The movements were censured; leaders removed. Because of the precieved threat to the existing power.These issues are not social benefiting; they are just a twisting of the true facts to suit the agenda that should be exposed to the citizenry of the world. thank you

Have anyone of been schooled by your partner for "being too nice" ?

BBJong comments on Jul 7, 2019:

Yeah. ÷repeatedly÷ used to tally the occurences. One issue was dead on of her observstions =some are habitual "takers"/serial takers/habitual takers and a stark fact is i am blind to this.I did learn(since validated by phsycology) why im susceptible, was due to interaction with Narssasistic folks. Just say NO ; because its a one way street/and im paying the freight. I am kind when & why i deem APPROPRIATE, but more aware. Good post

Didn't secume to falling back into old routines.

What do you think of that adage that you "have to love yourself before you can love someone else?

BBJong comments on Jul 6, 2019:

...i believe we are taught to hate(not like ourselves)and this is reason enough to revisite the motive for loving ourselves.In earlily life the concept of love is provided to some degree for us.This is physical and very mich needed for biological growth.(family) Yet i saw the king and queen of the prom married and diviorced right after high school.So to the other classmates we saw a charade-not 2 people who saw themselves growing together;to us they were BARBIE & KEN. The first 12 relationships are a " training session ",where we learn about ourselves and others(how they CAN or cant )effect our personal/emotional growth......at least it for me. I got better at relationships in general but especially close intimate relationships because of what i learned. My expectations changed.My understanding of another was enlightened.-i realized another can expand my emotional/human maturity-beyond what was taught at home. In a way we owe part of our growth to our past partners:::the cookie cut out human does not exist;we grow(or not);we learn(or not);we strive(or not);we adapt(or not);we fail(and recover);resilliant(or not) each and every human trait has unlimited potential for good or bad trajectory. Close friends-as stated- are a decent indicator of our comfort.There are varying compatability and need levels(also long and short term issues).Outside influences can cause disruption. Yet these(and family) may be jealous of loosing an asset(or selfish).Hone your intuition& judgement skills(prioritized on the life changing power)in situations. Most serious questions (especially life changing) are YES■NO ; while some HAVE DEFINATE GREY AREAS ; we are always asked to make a stand on very difficult(to society)issues. Knowing ourselves aids in the defense and ultimate truth involved.Our home/nieghbohood/school is a greenhouse type enviorment, helping the basic social growth. The more advanced human interpersonal growth occurs when your beliefs encounter a different reality. Peace.

Never ♥️

BBJong comments on Jul 6, 2019:

...thanks, i refuse to obey the outlandish strictures that are foisted on us.The friendships i foster seem(always have)out landish, but they are real. The fake do not compare. YOUR quote reminds me of a Pink Floyd lyric< "give up your walkon part in the war ; for lead ROLE in a cage"> from Wish You Were HERE🎵🎧

BBJong comments on Jul 5, 2019:

I watched a recent u tube documentary by a well known British scientist who stated we do change the way we speak. I hadn't thought about it . But this and other posts show that as with everything modern- its RAPIDLY accelerating. The title is" Is the Human Brain a Computer?"- it explores memes and other uses of the languages. Part of the facts are it's uncomfortable while it occurs, but it shows that the language is viable with a heathy "life of its own" forced to EVOLVE . Great post, thanks

To fellow scientists: How do you deal with people in social settings that speak with authority ...

BBJong comments on Jul 5, 2019:

I found a group called" Street Epistemology Fans" which i found looking at the another members groups . And wow web site and all. This group seeks to put academic info into civilian hands and minds. I found discussions with folks sometimes scary( some times brain washed ) ; yet i care about them, but dont dare rattle thier status quo.- the site gives guidelines that allow a "Do no harm " approach to these -so i dont feed the monster of mis information. Than you

Omg said my conservative neighbor, did you realize Nancy Pelosi was 3 rd in line to be President.

What qualities do you look for in a companion?

BBJong comments on Jul 4, 2019:

...fits like a glove-velvet one day mail armoued next day ; because that is what is required to survive and FLOURISH as a couple in society😉 After witnessing other successes; wishy washy does not make headway,life will test each of us(and both of us). We would be capable of knowing what would nourish each of us;and the relationship. Your always freinds... Thanx

I hope so

How should we respond to alien contact? Scientists ask the public [theguardian.com]

BBJong comments on Jul 2, 2019:

Sensible scientist fear over reaction by the public. I heard a quote by Stephen Hawkings -"we mistreat other species here on earth now; this doesn't bode well for interaction with alien life" ... yet if we present some of our humanitarian goals; possibly strike an accord of helpful interaction. In a cards on the table/ thier perception of us might be off kilter -as we seem to have many wars going on simultaneously (20).Have they monitored our radio/t.v.; the race to harness energy; grow food?We would have to react on the fly and remain flexable❇

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

...indeed ,I got a score of 21; and have incorporated podcasts and gathered other info. I try to find the latest phsycology data to redefine how I'm affected. I see alot in my siblings ; and know how backward society is promoting mental health. Thank you ,I really didn't know about the condition. I see the burnout factor if limits and boundries aren't created & maintained. But we would never choose to live in a bubble,we shall make the best of our "personality traits".

HSPs be more like...

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

I feel that on occasion; part of it has to do with my attempt to "put forth my best". Otherwise a social event can be draining. I have to be some what confident that it will be worth the energy invested to particapate. Thanks for the post!!!

Interesting...

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

...hidden talents that were actively squashed and ridiculed ; and so it goes

Someone here has ever thought about the origins of mythical creatures?

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

....I read a book by Joseph Cambell and he explained alot of missing context for Myths. I gather that far back in human history, a myth or God stood for something that the society needed to thrive. Crop harvest; fertility ; and or taboos; social hierarchy;ect. They were a method to keep the story going. Also we still find animals(especially insects ),but still no" magic,mythical, make believe creatures.

PUUURFECT! I think I was just discovering pot when David Bowie cranked out Space Oddity... ????

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

...I have watched some of the latest data; WE are going to lose the Arctic ice too . The fish are relocating thier schooling and spawning locations. They can monitor it but I hope it doesn't cause an irreversible increase-they have stated that we can trip a trigger that speeds up the process. Heating the oceans can release methol hydrate(inert at LOWER TEMPERATURES) from ocean floors.

I visited a very close girlfriend this weekend.

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

Please , they have a monopoly on what another should wear. Comfort/sensible is the way to go.-i find more evil in people comparing/judging the feeling happy with what they chose. 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️😌

How has learning science affected your life?

BBJong comments on Jun 30, 2019:

I like being grounded in reality; Life is a process/ we owe the future generations to stay aware & updated. Info is the new currency; Science keeps the facts straight-allowing informed decisions and choices about every day events. Thanks for the post.

How do you combat loneliness?

BBJong comments on Jun 29, 2019:

I have a core of acquaintances. Pursute of hobbies allows the chance to make friends. Being lonely is transitory. A pet can help. If I'm devoting energy to improve myself I know lonely spells pass.I work on road blocks to me being in a serious relationship, which is a win /win activity. EXPLORE other options-senior centers;local newspaper entertainment guide; travel tours;day trips ;ect.-all the while being patient with the process & YOUSELF. THANKS

Hey there - How is everyone? Long time, no post!

BBJong comments on Jun 29, 2019:

😊 good ; hope all is well...

You know how FB occasionally sends you suggestions for friends?

BBJong comments on Jun 29, 2019:

Standing your ground is just the process of reviewing the facts; if valid -you have every reason to feel how you do!!! I had similar interaction with family-they could never accept my my girl and snubbed her & her children in public. The " family" can justify thier actions however they want ,but they are not the ORIGINATOR of the original relationship-you are.-to me this is undo meddling- at the least/and not supporting the valid reasons YOU have to feel and act the way you do. THANKS for post.

I'm not smart enough to take sides on this one.

BBJong comments on Jun 28, 2019:

Being completely focused on the other would probably drive me nuts; I prefer mutual independence as a plus/ not dependence. And also get the-"the bad boy attracts ; while the responsible boy repels women " ,but so what>>to thine own self be true.

In case anyone is interested, I am much more the former rather than the latter.

So avoiding the emotional pitfalls of a relationship is sorta a full time chore.Being civil is what I can muster; my attempts to build anything lasting will quickly turn to sand. Hope you value yourself ,not what you are but who u are. We are our best allies & friends.Sometimes that must suffice. I thank you , and hope /trust options present themselves and life improves😊🌈
