The science remains.
SUMMARY
Your body uses the calories you get from food to fuel your basal metabolic rate (BMR), digestion, and physical activity. When the number of calories you consume matches the number of calories you burn, your weight will remain stable.

Robecology replies on Jul 21, 2020:
If your husband is outside the home that raises his chance for infection a point or two. Working at a job involving many people inside a closed facility immediately raises his chance for becoming a carrier several points....regardless of his "mask" wearing or refusing to "serve" others not wearing masks. His odds of becoming a carrier have gone up...now yours have, as well.
Simple math.
The points might still be relatively low...but your odds for getting this infection have - no doubt - gone up.

Is it possible they banned you?
Or do they send a message in those cases? Not sure.
Also it might be that your account was hacked and the person changed your password. I had a few friends that that happened to.

Good post. Genetically living things are getting less complex. My question would be “Is this true for our brains?” (Lately I would believe it, but scientific proof would be interesting.)
Robecology replies on Jul 9, 2020:
Good question.
There's good evidence that we're headed for extinction...and that we've stopped "evolving". We make many accommodations for the handicapped to stay alive and make it to child bearing age.
We are getting unhealthy and have actually declined (in some, not all nations) in life expectancy...and the biggest thing that makes me think we're headed for extinction is our inability to control our growth.
https://ourworldindata.org/life-expectancy
We still look on growth as good.
We still reward large families with tax breaks.
We still reward obesity and declare those who bring it to public attention as "fat shakers"
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/obesity_in_america_cdc_releases_gif_of_epidemic_over_time.html
Meanwhile we're increasing by 150 more births, than deaths, per minute, 200,000 more per day, 1.5 million every week, 80+ million every year. We are heading for extinction.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...but I concur with your question about our brain.
I don't think we've evolved enough wisdom to stop us from complete destruction of at least our species - if not most animal and plant life that we've cultivated as well...and sadly....very soon.
But the good news is that the "world" won't end...Mother Earth, Ms. Gaia...will breathe a sigh of relief, and reset the evolutionary clock back a few million years....
NBD!

There's a difference between "Picking a fight" and "encouraging a debate". I welcome "outliers" of any group that I'm in that has a social or political "lean"...many fear them, call them names (commonly , Troll) and want them banned.
And I have been "banned" from several groups; both here and on...
Robecology replies on Jul 1, 2020:
@OwlInASack I see your point...but I can bet any money that anyone who's being labeled a "fascist" will deny it. They don't want to admit they're behaving that way. So they'll get defensive - get stubborn - ignore your truths - and quit the debate.
Now if - instead of "labeling" them - you pointed out their tendencies to exaggerate their nationalism, their avoidance of the bad news of their "regime" then you're going to a higher level of debate - and going toward winning it.
I recently explained that I was disappointed that the wisdom of "Prince" (the musician) was tainted by his drug addiction and death....and fell in to my own trap....I had "offended" a "recovering addict" who took offense to my diatribe against "Prince"....and I get it....I slipped in to the "ad hominem" attacks on "Prince" without reflecting on the wisdom of his thoughts...and the "recovering addict" let me have it...with a diatribe of rude remarks and threats...
I had failed to reach that "recovering addict" because I had thought that Prince's death from overdose overshadowed his wisdom.
So was I right there? I don't think so.
That's why to even label someone "fascist" is an "ad hominem" attack...and won't score you points on any pro debate.

Confrontation is good;
A good debater knows how to "confront" without offending.
Confront with facts and evidence - now you're talking...
Confront with profanity and ad hominem attacks...sorry...no. In fact you're now a sore loser.
If you let yourself fall to the lower half of the debate triangle then you're not only conceding a victory to the person you're debating with - you're doing so in a rude, hostile, mentally unstable way.

Flexibility, tolerance, courtesy, empathy...they are rare and not common traits. You have to be raised with them to "feel" them or "live" them.

I'm no fan of Moore after his last movie but he's right. I don't like Biden at all but if the alternative has to be trump I guess I'll probably vote for him. That's far from the attitude tRumpsters have about tRump. The Lincoln Project speaks to me more than Biden.

Hi all. If you think you are open-minded, how open-mined are you - honestly?
Robecology comments on Jun 20, 2020:
Flexibility, tolerance, courtesy, empathy...they are rare and not common traits. You have to be raised with them to "feel" them or "live" them.
If it's "your ideal" then there's that seed planted in your mind....that maybe it's the way to be...so I would say "of course" it's possible.
