Somnambulism noun sleepwalking.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 9, 2020:

I wear a fitness watch and occasionally I have discovered that I sleep walk. When I wake up and I've gone more than a few steps during the night, and even worse taken a flight of stairs, it kinda blows my mind. It doesn't happen often, and all kitties are present and accounted for, so apparently I'm not unlocking and opening any doors, or leaving them open. Scary to think that I might need alarms or a keeper.

This comes from Prometheus, in Greek religion, one of the Titans, the supreme trickster, and a god of fire. His intellectual side was emphasized by the apparent meaning of his name, Forethinker. In common belief he developed into a master craftsman, and in this connection he was associated with fire and the creation of mortals.

Netflix movie 'The Social Dilemma'

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 7, 2020:

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — We tweet, we like, we share. But what are the consequences of our growing dependency on social media? In the upcoming movie "The Social Dilemma," we learn social media platforms are tracking us more than we ever thought possible and the possible dangers of having too much information in the hands of others. Omaha native Joe Toscano walked away from a six figure salary at Google due to the morality issues he says he faced doing his job. He is featured in the film. Social media keeps us all connected. Top tech whistleblowers come forward to warn us about the very devices they created that keeps us communicating but is also being used to control us. Toscano, a former Google consultant, warns "There are much bigger problems with how our data is being used. This film really reveals that in a way that is relatable. It humanizes the algorithm and reveals it as this huge manipulative thing and humanizes it and you can see it as if the algorithm was a human and what it would be like." The movie is filled with accounts from Silicon Valley insiders from Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. "It is a national security threat. It's not just about people watching video of people dancing. These are platforms that have so much data on us that they can do what is called sentiment analysis. They can analyze the population of that application for how they are emotionally feeling and they can create propaganda that changes the way those people feel. If for example they want to distract our nation with disinformation or misinformation they can do that because they have analyzed what makes us mad, what makes us happy, what changes our opinions. They know all this because we posted all about it. We gave them everything," adds Toscano. With all of the possible dangers, he also says there is a lot of good with social media. They want to keep the good and eliminate the risks. "One step further, they have access to our GPS data. You might not think this is a big deal and I am not special. But it's not about you, it is about all of us. When they can track hundreds of millions of people at once, they can see how we move through cities, they can see what our inroads are, what our outroads are, what the weak points in our nation are. They can do this because it is like they have a heat map on our society," continues Toscano. He says we should all rethink privacy settings and there are laws in the works to help solve the problem. "Social Dilemma" starts airing this Wednesday, September 9th on Netflix.

Trump Tries to UnMask Biden? [dailykos.com]

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2020:

There are so many people who whine because they are being slightly inconvenienced by wearing a mask. Good fucking gracious, it simply isn't that onerous. Donnie has been a prima donna since day one, and I am sure it is too late to change him. His flaws are fatal. His teeny tiny mind just can't comprehend decency. I have never had a use for him and I am ashamed of him. He is a fucktard of major proportions.

All right, I'm going to level with you all.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 5, 2020:

I am wondering how federal agencies are going to react. My guess is most will do a cursory look and continue with what they have been doing. If by some disaster Donnie is still president next year they may have to make some changes.

Worst birthday gift. I don't know if it was a gift or not, but my 19th birthday was a trip to the gas chamber. Gas Mask training in Army Basic Training at Ft. Jackson, SC. My mom died when she was 45, so I have considered every birthday over 45 to be the best ever. Now that I have grands they are even more special.

If you hit the deer head on you might not be able to continue driving. I've read some really horrific accounts of car/deer collisions, one while I lived in KS, not only killed the deer but the mom and dad in the front seat with three kids in the back seat. Those kids will likely need more than three years of therapy.

Eudaimonia (noun) The contented happy state you feel when you travel.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 2, 2020:

Eu means good. I think Eudaimonia means more than just travel, it generally means flourishing. For Aristotle, eudaimonia was achieved through living virtuously – or what you might describe as being good. This doesn't guarantee 'happiness' in the modern sense of the word. In fact, it might mean doing something that makes us unhappy, like telling an upsetting truth to a friend. Virtue is moral excellence

Since the title of this section is "Love & Relationships" this is the place for this post.

HippieChick58 comments on Sep 1, 2020:

No, I don't think it is the reason for the high divorce rate in the US. There are so many factors, that would be one of the minor ones in my humble opinion. Sometimes people confuse what type of love they are in. I will never love a man like I love my grands, and whereas I love my kids enough to take a bullet for them, I love the grands enough to make an effort to intercept that bullet before it gets close to them. Part of it, I think, is wishful thinking. If I tell you I love you, then it will come true. And part of it is convincing yourself that this is "the one" because you're actually sick of the searching process. And face it, those of us over 60 have had a different upbringing than most of the population. To the younger folks it might not be a big deal. To me, it is a big deal. I'm not going to say it until I am sure of it and that it is safe to say it. I think "love at first sight" is likely lust, just your hormones talking.
