The tendency of our time is wholly oriented toward the secular.
Robecology comments on Oct 5, 2020:
The only "Cathedrals" are the towering monuments to greed and capitalism... from tall buildings to huge stadiums....done in "the name" of god...but we've all learned about the hypocrisy of these alleged "believers" who built them.

I still have two "firends" who I knew in early college days and we still "see" eachother....and one was a "room-mate". Bob D was a fitness devotee - and for a brief time was a state record holder in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle. . He worked out in the room on his own "total gym" ( a board on a slant with a set of ropes and a pulley) before they even invented it. I'm a total gym user (bought it when it was still a subsidy of "West Bend") to this day thanks to his inspiration.

Hey guys, Happy Tuesday! When you hear the phrase "Processed foods," what does that mean to you?
Robecology comments on Sep 29, 2020:
Processed can mean anything from dried to frozen, freeze-dried, Cooked, dehydrated, canned, etc. It's a blanket term. UN processed foods are at the store "edges"...meats, veggies, etc. Even milk and most cheeses were "processed" to get to be on those shelves.

Robecology comments on Sep 23, 2020:
You are from India; so I will try your recipe.... but having said that...have you ever done a non-tomato sauce curry with Coconut milk? A tomato-based chicken stew is, IMO, an Italian Cacciatore. And - why shy away from all the excellent prepared "curry" spices out there? There's too many to just suggest to go to a Masala-spice mix. And why so little masala spice? I say pour it on...double that amount with a can of coconut milk...try skipping the tomato sauces completely....and you'll have a totally different "Chicken Curry". The curry dishes I've seen are a brownish color (left image). The Cacciatores are the redder more tomato based chicken dish (right image).

Robecology comments on Sep 19, 2020:
I was a junior in High school when I read a short research article by John B. Calhoun called, "Population Density and Social Pathology" and what he said....back in '62...has really proven to be true. Basically the more crowded it gets the -ruder -less sexual -more agressive -more pathological -more hoarding (greed) -more group/gang behavior -more asexual/alternative sexual behavior (male-male, female-female) -more child neglect/abandonment/cannibalism. -easier disease transmission. He did an eloquently simple experiment. He kept rats in cages; gave them all the food and water they needed. Cleaned away their wastes - - he just made the walls smaller. At different rates, with different sized groups. Read the whole thing if you like; I found an on line copy; It explains a lot about us.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf
Nakedness.
Robecology comments on Sep 19, 2020:
Na...no value nor comfort in hanging out nude/naked. Not for me, anyway. Now when I swim laps I often get laughed at for being the 75 year old "speedo" guy...but for me, the less suit (while swimming) the better. I often swim laps only when the pool and i are the only ones there.
I try to avoid all forms of sugar in my diet.
Robecology comments on Sep 19, 2020:
You do need some simple carbs (sugars)...the point is not to get the bi-products of their production. Moderation works. I avoid most starches and breads (complex carbs) and I've found splenda (sucralose) pretty safe and less of an aftertaste than Stevia. Daily Intake Levels The reference values used for the Daily Intake Guide are based on those provided in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (FSC). The FSC has outlined the composition and labelling requirements for food. According to the FSC, a balanced diet for an average adult is made up of the following nutrients each day: Nutrient Quantity Per Day Energy 8,700 kilojoules Protein 50 grams Fat 70 grams (oils, liquid fat) Saturated Fatty Acids 24 grams (solid fats - lard, butter) Carbohydrates 310 grams Sugars 90 grams Sodium (salt) 2.3 grams Dietary Fibre 30 grams You also appear slim; so hopefully you're ahead of the game. Fitness is important also...there's a lot of scientific evidence that sweating and raising your pulse through strenuous activities is also life-prolonging. http://www.mydailyintake.net/daily-intake-levels/ Here's a frightening article on the growing obesity epidemic; 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
A message from AOC's secret admirer [reddit.com]
Robecology comments on Sep 18, 2020:
She's "hot" but she's wise. She's managed to keep images of her that appear in public strongly conservative. She's a shapely beauty - but she effectively hides that in almost all the images I've seen of her. And anytime she speaks officially - her ascerbic wit and wisdom really shines. She's got a great future....and the man who's "with" her is fortunate, indeed!!
Were you able to remain close friends with exes?
Robecology comments on Sep 18, 2020:
Good question!! I've had mixed feelings about those who've managed to "stay in touch" and/or "stay friends" with their exes. I lost my first wife to cancer at a very young age....but am still in touch with at least 3 of her friends. My second "ex" was the only woman who I had a child with...so while I "know" her I don't stay in touch...and consider her my son's mother more than my "ex. Several ex's and ladyfriends later- I'm totally out of touch with each and every one of them. For better or worse, I've "moved on". Now I'm pleasantly alone - mildly horny....but at 75 that's fading as well.

5 thought provoking memes on "Liberalism"
Guide to understand Trump...
Robecology comments on Sep 17, 2020:
I found this verbose diatribe....a bit wordy and long....but it gets to the root...to the heart of why Trump supporters do support him. I don't know the O.P. nor the "lady named Bev....but it sure rings true; The question is, "Why do people continue supporting Trump no matter what he does?" A lady named Bev answered it this way: “You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence. I'm not favoring them, and I'm not favoring liberals...but I understand the cult of Trump. They don't give a shit what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period. He absolutely realizes that and plays it up. They love it. He knows they love it. The fact that people act like it's anything other than that proves to them that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around. If you keep getting caught up in "why do they not realize this problem" and "how can they still back Trump after this scandal," then you do not understand what the underlying motivating factor of his support is. It's "fuck liberals", that's pretty much it. They don't have the mental facilities to debate. Have you noticed he can do pretty much anything imaginable, and they'll explain some way that rationalizes it that makes zero logical sense? Because they're not even keeping track of any coherent narrative, it's irrelevant. They just don't get it. "Fuck liberals" is the only relevant thing. Trust me; I know first-hand what I'm talking about. That's why they just laugh at it all because you all don't even realize they truly don't give a fuck about whatever the conversation is about. It's just a side mission story that doesn't matter anyway. That's all just trivial details - the economy, health care, whatever. "Fuck liberals" - that's their attitude...not mine...theirs. Look at the issue with not wearing the masks. I can tell you what that's about. It's about exposing fear. They're playing chicken with nature, and whoever flinches just moved down their internal pecking order, one step closer to being a liberal. They don't comprehend the liberal strategy. You've got to understand the one core value that they hold above all others is hatred for what they consider weakness because that's what they believe strength is, hatred of weakness. And I mean passionate, sadistic hatred. Sadistic, passionate hatred, and that's what proves they're strong, their passionate hatred for weakness. Sometimes they will lump vulnerability in with weakness. They do that because people tend to start humbling themselves when they're in some compromising or overwhelming circumstance, ...

Mom was good - you know....when she was good she was very good, and when she was bad she was awful... I moved out my senior year in HS and then went to college with a clunker $50 car...but managed to get two degrees on my own, through loans. It's hard to say which I cared for more....both were - very typical. I give them credit for becoming who i am...a lifelong (retired after 45 years) teacher, and after (too) many marriages....happily single.

Making tomato sauce on Saturday.
Robecology comments on Sep 14, 2020:
Roasting at 400º for 60 minutes seems to me to be a waste of a lot of heat...It seems easier to just puree the fresh fruit....then cook the thick liquid down to either a sauce or paste...depending on your patience and temp settings. Some fussy sauce makers skim off the seeds once you've pureed your tomatoes. If you freeze your sauces/pastes....no need for the acidity.But...If you're going to can/jar your cooked down tomatoes - don't forget to add either vitamin c or lemon juice to make it slightly more acidic - thus avoiding bacteria.

Robecology comments on Sep 12, 2020:
The " zombie Apocalypse" is a fictional absurd mis-direction away from what might really take most of us out... A strong, very contagious, very fast acting, high mortality, easily spreadable disease is the much more likely "apocalypse" we'll experience. This IS coming...it's not a matter of if, but when. That's why "wearing masks" and "social distancing" is a good practice. Consider it a "dry run" for the next pandemic. What skills will create survivors? #1. They know social distancing skills. #2. They know which masks to where, and when, and how tight to wear them #3. They know about fitness, diet and maintaining a high level of the same to survive. #4. They will have certain innate/inborn traits to help them; stronger genetic background, More immunities built up, etc. This one's death toll in America is closing in on 200,000. I predict the next one will close in on a million or more; and might visit us in a year or less. And then there will be a third wave of a genetically modified strain, which could take out billions in months. That might be just a few years away. Good question. We do need to get mentally prepared. https://www.prb.org/how-demographic-changes-make-us-more-vulnerable-to-pandemics-like-the-coronavirus/

And I've spent nearly $10 K on upgrades...from ceiling fans to induction cooktop/convection oven, to granite counter in the kitchen. Nada. Folk are very afraid to "rent" or go in to a stranger's home. This COVID19 thing has hit hard. If anyone might like to visit this Condo in Ft. Pierce, let me know!

Too much work...and you end up making too much. I'm a fan of hot sauces...but I'm afraid too many use it too heavily too often. There's plenty on the market, in small bottles. I have a dozen or so in the fridge. https://qz.com/171500/the-american-hot-sauce-craze-in-one-mouth-watering-chart/

Hi.
Robecology comments on Sep 11, 2020:
Glad to have you with us.
Happy Thursday Everyone! I hope today finds you doing well.
Robecology comments on Sep 10, 2020:
I was getting along fine with a distant lady friend when she reverted back to her screaming at me. So I packed my stuff....made no comments. Just left...put a "block" on her phone. Today...5 days later - i got an email....not an apology...but a rationale for her shouting....so the phone stays blocked. So do I "forgive" her? No. But the only anger I'll show is not responding to her rants by phone. Emails allow a rational discussion. Phone calls don't. This has been going on for close to 15 years. I feel so "stuck"...and find it so hard to "move on".

Robecology comments on Sep 9, 2020:
We - many of us here on A.com...and milions of Americans....are angry with Trump and the Republicans - but to want someone executed? That's harsh. Even to want him "locked up" seems a bit of a waste of energy and an over-reaction to someone who won out of 18 nominees, won the electoral college, and won at least 62 million popular votes. I have a meme somewhere that suggests - don't be angry at Trump. Be angry at the people who put him in power... I'm just too tired to find it right now. But this video might help you comprehend; they're just 'ill" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9R6jgE7SQ
But it’s in the book😳

And the science behind Spiderman isn't that outrageous, either.
Its shocking to see the decline and fall of the American intellect.
Robecology comments on Sep 8, 2020:
China had a rise and fall. Egypt. The "fertile crescent" was famous as a hub of early civilization and learning...now it's declined in to ignorance. Even Great Britain once dominated the world but pulled back. And everyone's aware of the rise - and fall - of Rome. So it's almost inevitable that the US will follow a path of decline in to poverty, #religulousness, and ignorance. It's no longer a matter of if...but when.
I had a random thought about all the q people seeing sex traffickers everywhere.

Robecology comments on Sep 8, 2020:
It's the wearing or not wearing of masks that, in America, at least, is the polarizing factor. Health care workers are far more cautious and conservative - as they should be. Folk in public who avoid masks often don't recognize the value; and will probably never read this; they're also strong supporters of #Religulous, #Trumpism, ad #Republicanism.
Amazing how the things work out.
Robecology comments on Sep 8, 2020:
Odd to consider being blocked by a person as a good thing. Sad, to me.
An interesting list; 20 most prosperous countries (as of 2019) [insider.
Robecology comments on Sep 8, 2020:
Interesting; Japan's high for an oriental island state because they developed excellent strategies for consumerism after WW II...making cars and electronics so dominant in the world led to their prosperity. America is still suffering with two huge errors; destroying the native American world, and slavery. Dominating the Native Americans (I refuse to call them the incorrectly labeled "Indians") didn't affect our economic situation as much as our moral strategy- But it did encourage an attitude; we became righteous, and some would say "imperialistic". I think that led to importing captive Africans under force; we called it slavery; and we're still suffering from racial inequality - that reflects in our economic status.
