so 70% of the site ignored you, poor baby. Some of us have day jobs. I know! Not all of us are ladies of leisure or slackers. I don't get on this site while I am at work and by the time I got home I saw your post and decided it was well taken care of. Are you such a precious child that you need attention of everyone? Logistically that is probably not possible. Furthermore, I don't think you understand as much as you think you do. Hang around for a while, participate and you'll learn. This is a great group of people, those not so great drop off pretty fast. Be an encourager, lift others up and you will be lifted up to. Put people down and we'll ignore you, and some won't be so kind as to do that. If you leave it will be no great loss. People come through all the time. However, the site is growing so something here is appealing to the majority. If you choose not to hang around, have a nice lift.

Do a little work and help us out. Why?

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 18, 2018:

I googled a snyopsis. I read the book a few years ago, it was excellent but not a light weight read. Harari's work situates its account of human history within a framework provided by the natural sciences, particularly evolutionary biology: he sees biology as setting the limits of possibility for human activity, and sees culture as shaping what happens within those bounds. The academic discipline of History is the account of cultural change. Harari surveys the history of humankind from the evolution of archaic human species in the Stone Age up to the twenty-first century, focusing on our own species of human, Homo sapiens. He divides the history of Sapiens into four major parts:[5] The Cognitive Revolution (c. 70,000 BC, when Sapiens evolved imagination). The Agricultural Revolution (c. 10,000 BC, the development of farming). The unification of humankind (the gradual consolidation of human political organisations towards one global empire). The Scientific Revolution (c. 1500 AD, the emergence of objective science). Harari's main argument is that Sapiens came to dominate the world because it is the only animal that can cooperate flexibly in large numbers. He argues that prehistoric Sapiens were a key cause of the extinction of other human species such as the Neanderthals, along with numerous other megafauna. He further argues that the ability of Sapiens to cooperate in large numbers arises from its unique capacity to believe in things existing purely in the imagination, such as gods, nations, money and human rights. Harari claims that all large-scale human cooperation systems – including religions, political structures, trade networks and legal institutions – owe their emergence to Sapiens' distinctive cognitive capacity for fiction.[6] Accordingly, Harari reads money as a system of mutual trust and sees political and economic systems as more or less identical with religions.

What is your opinion on dating sites? I have mine. Would like yours.

HippieChick58 comments on Jul 16, 2018:

Mostly I met scammers. I dropped them all.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 16, 2018:

@SKH78 over the course of 8 years I'm pretty sure I've been asked for over $20,000 and that is a conservative estimate. I used to string them along until I was sure of what they wanted. Then I decided I don't need that crap anymore and have left all online dating sites. I am not really expecting to meet someone here, if it happens it is a bonus.

The news today makes me sick!

What is a "tribble". I was born in the last century; ain't up on this stuff. I realize he wears, "toy hair" or a "hair hat". Otherwise?

@FrayedBear But the tribbles resemble his hair.

@FrayedBear Tribbles are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe. They were conceived by screenwriter David Gerrold, and first appeared in a 1967 episode titled "The Trouble with Tribbles". They are depicted as a small, furry, gentle, attractive, and slow-moving but rapidly-reproducing invasive species.

Check out Star Trek: Trouble with Tribbles. It is a TV show from our youth. James Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were the stars.

I dislike the widespread use of profanity and feel it reflects a lowering of standards of behavior across society. I find people who are vulgar also tend to be loud, less bright and have less schooling. Not my crowd. When used selectively and rarely, curse words can play a role, albeit limited...

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 16, 2018:

I agree. I think it tends to reflect a limited vocabulary. Not that I don't use it once in a while, but as my job puts me on the phone a great deal of the day, and I have frequent contact with small children I try to limit the use of any profanity. I got off the phone one day and was thinking "Jeeesssssuuuuussss", turns out I wasn't just thinking it as I was overheard so that was a wake up call to clean up my language. I think the reaction to an F bomb might have been far worse.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 15, 2018:

@Cast1es I would say it has not accomplished much YET. I see changes, they are slow but they are still there. I have hope. But I understand, we all need a break from reality. Take some time off of social media, turn off the TV and radio. Go out in the woods or the beach and commune with nature. Or turn your anger into action and get involved, work for a candidate or do some good somewhere.

Sorry sugar, until he is in jail or dead, or at least out of politics I'm going to post about him, and apparently so are many others. Sticking your head in the sand may be comforting, but it allows the wrong to be perpetuated. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Kentucky Judge Refuses To Marry Atheists

Commonsense comments on Jul 15, 2018:

Move out of Kentucky....or go get married elsewhere...

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 15, 2018:

When I was given the opportunity to live in Kentucky I turned it down in less than a split second. However the judge is breaking the law he is sworn to uphold and should either resign or be removed from office. Kentucky needs more atheists, then maybe they can normalize.

When my girls were growing up, we used the correct term for all body parts. I've always preferred the word cock and balls but have become used to the word junk to describe men's private parts. I like the words lady bits for women's private parts although when I mentioned the word pudenda in a ...

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 15, 2018:

I am a word geek and work with medical terms. I was familiar with pudenda, but curious so I google it. And from Dictionary.com I found this gem: Origin of pudendum 1350–1400; Middle English < Late Latin, special use of neuter of Latin pudendus, gerundive of pudēre to be ashamed. Jeebus why is it the patriarchal society insists on making women's bodies shameful.

HippieChick58 replies on Jul 14, 2018:

@Renickulous I suggest you turn off Fox news and stick to real news sources. You might learn something worthwhile and truthful. I will spread my information, my facts, and my beliefs as long as there is life in my body and power to my computer. If you don't like it you may stick it where the sun doesn't shine and toddle off to your conservative little creep show and whine to your buddies. Now run along and bother someone else.
