We've all secretly empathized with "The Godfather"....Maybe this was or is a last attempt to see if organized crime can really "run" a nation. Apparently it's proving...like the Godfather sequels....that even organized crime doesn't work. It pays well...if you're in a position of wealth and power - but it doesn't work for the masses.

Good morning! I'm doing well. How are you doing? Anxious?

Robecology comments on Mar 21, 2020:

Anxiousness comes from lack of, or insufficient knowledge. When you're knowledgeable..,when your options are clear....anxiety is diminished. https://www.neurocorecenters.com/8-facts-anxiety-symptoms-statistics

I was challenging someone on the "Food" strand here who stated, adamantly, that microwaves cook from the inside out. I first asked him for references which supported his opinion - because I wasn't sure that was correct. Then I looked it up; and posted two links that proved that this was a false rumor. But before I posted the links...I had not one, but two challengers say that "____ is an expert....we take him for his word".... ...and for a moment there, I understood how religion got started...I felt like a foodie heathen....

Robecology comments on Aug 13, 2020:

I'm the victim of a snoop and I don't know how to fix it. Maybe you guys can advise? I was cleaning up for a visit from the ladyfriend. I had to go get her because she's recovering from surgery. I dumped the bedroom trash in to the main trash - but forgot to take the main trash out. She snooped and found a woman's sanitary pad! The problem is I have not been with any women. None have been in my apartment. I said "it's probably yours" and left it at that.... ...but her snooping made her trust me even less than she does already. Solutions? Suggestions? Sad for her...but maybe it's best left alone?

Why are so many Americans so paranoid of socialism?

Robecology comments on Dec 2, 2019:

There's a lot of profound ignorance. We set the standards for education in the 50's and 60's...and most developed nations one-upped us. Now our best doctors and technicians have accents...and they're obviously new immigrants. America's home-grown, fostered by the #religulous push and the fossil-fuel greed, is now world leaders in...prison populations and per capita in prison. We're 30th to 40th in science and math....and far lower than that in common sense.

Luphytha Hermin (?) suggests "everything happens for a reason" but later says "our mistakes help us grow" @Sheanutt...you don't believe this, do you? IMO....accidents in diet, walking, eating, driving, shopping, even the way we tuck our pillow under our chin determine how long we live. And these aren't caused by any super-power. We just have accidents. We make mistakes. We often - but not always - make wise choices. It's what makes us alive. and eventually, dead.

“Bribery, first of all, as the founders understood bribery, it was not as we understand it in law today. It was much broader,” Schiff said. “It connoted the breach of the public trust in a way where you’re offering official acts for some personal or political reason, not in the nation’s interest.” To prove bribery, Schiff said, you have to show that the president was “soliciting something of value,” which Schiff thinks multiple witnesses before his committee have testified to in private.

Robecology comments on Feb 14, 2019:

Making love. We all enjoy it. We all seek that ideal moment where both of us are getting intense pleasure. But it's kind of like a roller coaster...or deluxe "thrill ride"....if you go on too many,,,then all the "great" experiences meld in to a blurr. I prefer that experiences like the one "MoonTiger" elaborates on does happen...but not too often. Ken Keyes jr. said...about making love; "Let it be a preference rather than an addiction" My interpretation: it happens, and it's perfect - relish the pleasure. If it can't happen....relish the pleasure..."

Use a local rental agency (they presently want 18%) 3. Use Zillow/AirBnB and make my own rules.... 4. Hire a cleaning person/agency. What's your POV?

The one area where there's a lot of "gas-lighting" is the I.C.E.car.(internal combustion engine). In the 50's and 60's they were far simpler...I changed the piston bearings on one. Now the tech people have made them too dependent on tech hookups for analysis. Enter the EV (Electric vehicle). Far simpler. 90% fewer moving parts...and Tesla just reduced the wiring inside them from miles to meters in length. I'm not saying they're easier to work on by us ordinary folk; they still need tech connections...the point is they'll need far less maintenance once the bugs are removed.

I think you're reading in to it. Living up to your avatar...being "creative". If you read the rather verbose tirade from the OP, it says, basically, that he considers those on Agnostic.com are, in general, suffering a devotion to being "woke" or awakened or hyper-aware - he even coins the name "Wokeism"...implying a religious fanaticism to being "woke". Then he goes on (rambles on, IMO) to suggest he's proven his theories with studies. I don't see it...but if you are #religulous and/or follow Qanaon, and/or are a Trump-ster....you might. I think this is where the "Dark"/aka Conspiracy theories start raising their ugly heads...that this "wokeism" is a responsibility of the billionaire George Soros who intends to dominate the world with "wokeism" and end religious dominance. And on and on, ad nauseum. The actual person who wrote this and started both this website and Slug.com is a mystery. I challenge them to make themselves public. We don't know who (S)he is...or if there's more than one...or if the one who started Slug is still an admin of Agnostic.com ...and they love the mystery and unknown factor of it all...it's what makes their "dark" web dark... So Could Slug.com be a scam? It sure does have a following...but...na.... And since many of us read that it has a similar format to agnostic.com we joined to find out more. But I don't think any of us were "forced" to join. Many of us join to "know" who our opponents are; what groups they like, what's their modus operandi, etc. I don't feel any force nor pressure to join....I signed up...perused the groups....found them not to my liking...and haven't participated in them. We all know the experience of trying to talk to a conservative/anti-progressive....it's pretty much like banging your head against the wall.

A quick glimpse into the complex workings of my brain.

This was a particularly informative - and rather depressing - show for her. The start was hilarious....Trump's social media keeps failing and falling in to scammer-hands...but then the awful news about Texas...except for that one offer to pay off anyone who proved voter fraud...and Rachel had the recipient of the first $25K check on her show - and he proved it was a GOP/Trump voter who got caught! LOL!

That first sip☕🙂

Glad you brought him up. I too was a follower...and was so sad to learn of his very early demise - due to cigarette smoking. I often shared a brilliant adaptation of his style with an anti Trump meme;

The problem is multiple; 1. Only the poor/third world are suffering right now. 2. The #religulous thinks this is gods way of controlling the population - so they welcome environmental extremes. 3. The wealthy - those who profit most from exploitation and environmental degradation - care only about their profits; and they can best afford to rebuild if eco disasters strike them. 4. Since supporting politicians with unlimited $$ became legal with "Citizens united" (the most evil and corrupt constitutional amendment we've ever made...) these greedy will pay to keep the laws in place favoring fossil fuel subsidies....so we taxppayers are paying these greedy MF'ers to destroy the environment. Solution? End citizens united. https://endcitizensunited.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvo_qBRDQARIsAE-bsH8cIGhw6daJU6hxy9P3w49d-t-hd0XdABsU7GHZpqcLgiEXwpTlOZMaAtf3EALw_wcB

I lost a young wife in '77. I was 32, she was 29. So it does take years to move on. Tip; try to change your behavior when any bad memories come back. Smile and recall the good times. Banish the thoughts of bad times. Ken Keyes suggested..."hold on tightly....let go lightly"....

Just an idea. 🧐

Frivolous and fun idea!!

Robecology comments on Feb 20, 2020:

This coming election should be a turning point; if the majority of Americans pull off a democratic win - we'll see a swing back to environmental responsibility. If not...then greed will rule...and we'll see a lot worse environmental disasters before we finally act.

Self righteous fucks act like they're actually doing something when it takes absolutely no effort.

Robecology comments on Feb 7, 2020:

I relish political commentary. I'm active on Facebook (FB) - perhaps too much so as my son tells me... So....I'm regularly banned from FB because I try to debate the folk on pro-Trump and Conservative sites...and some find it easy to lie to FB and say something that I've posted "goes against community standards". I'm not a "troll". I don't "throw out tempting bait" to "lure the suckers in to biting"....I look for obvious lies...and post to contradict them. But it is, what it is...FB is clearly a tool for the more conservative and power-hungry of America IMO. But I digress.. Tonight I look forward to two political commentary TV shows... Rachel Maddow, then Bil Maher on HBO.

Love this. And love Bill Maher, Penn Jillette and Richard Dawkins. They speak for me. Search any of them....Penn's the funniest. Bill did lots of research to produce #Religulous (movie) and Dawkins wrote books and made profound comments. This one was handy... https://biodork.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/yqgof.jpg

I get it. Too many have made Socialism in to a nightmare scenario. But America now is fundamentally socialist; Any system supported by collecting taxes to pay for it is socialist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4rr9Lcx_dQ The problem is our population growth. Socialst leaders have tried - with horrible results - to control population. We can't keep growing...but for capitalism to work - it must. Socialism has the root of the issue in it's name. We've formed a society. A society that's growing by 158 more per minute. 227,000 more per day. A million more every 5 days. (http://www.poodwaddle.com) The earth isn't growing....so the "capitalists" profit from wars and weapons, from stripping the earth of its' resources. They knew forssts were necessary for us to breathe - yet they kept stripping the forests...until socialists restricted them. They know that fuels have to be ended...but their lust for money makes them ignore this. And so far, in America, at least, low taxes (we're the lowest of any nation) on fuels and subsidies on fuel makers (we're the highest) make the capitalists' fuel obsession work. https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10327 So they push capitalism and fear "socialism" This must end.

Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are the top picks for President for 2020 by a large margin.

"The U.S. Constitution prevents anyone under the age of 35 from serving as president, and Ocasio-Cortez is only 29 years old. Yet she's already making history. During the midterm election cycle in November, the New York Democrat became the youngest woman elected to the U.S. Congress." from https://www.salon.com/2019/01/22/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-is-too-young-to-run-for-president-but-3-4-of-democrats-would-support-her/ Having said that...Bernie deserves a shot. His two weak points are his age and his devotion to "socialism". But - let's kick Ageists to the ground, and try to wake up America that everyone of us who buy in to Social Security are Card-Carrying Socialists! We're fighting a wave of ageism, and a fear that "healthcare and college for all is too "socialist" Bernie's no doubt fitter, healhier, younger thinking, more articulate, and far more experienced in politics than DJT - so that throws the ageists out the window. I like Bernie and Beto...B and B. for a Better USA. Catchy?
