Hell no. Look up "entrepreneur". (S)he knows how to take the pulse of the people. They are futurists. They take risks with their money after doing a lot of science and research on the direction and trends that they're perceiving. If they/you see a new trend, and you have $$...and you do some careful research...you will gain...and so will society. That's not a bad thing.

You can use healthful ingredients to make a decadent chocolate - dense desert - and it doesn't have to have cauliflower. Non fat Greek yogurt is easily sweetened with sucralose and is a good substitute for cream in ice-cream. Almost all of its thickness is from protein -a nutrient most of our diets are short on. Frozen yogurt businesses have been aware of this for a while, now. High cacao chocolate has many good ingredients for blood and liver health. The nuts can be high fat/low protein, or low fat/high protein. The lowest-calorie nuts at 160 per ounce are almonds (23 nuts; 6 grams protein, 14 grams fat); cashews (16 to 18 nuts; 5 grams protein, 13 grams fat); and pistachios (49 nuts; 6 grams protein, 13 grams fat). Avoid nuts packaged or roasted in oil; instead, eat them raw or dry roasted. https://www.health.com/weight-loss/the-healthiest-nuts-for-your-body One study of healthy volunteers showed that eating high-flavanol cocoa for five days significantly improved blood flow to the brain.

Hi all, new here.

Robecology comments on Feb 3, 2020:

So #1 You're a grown woman now. Not much need, at your age, to get your parents to "accept" your non-believing, critical-thinking POV. #2. But by all means, stay in touch with them. They're not going to be around much longer. Comfort mom...she was brought up #religulous and you were brought up, by her (and dad?), to be a "critical thinker" . Thank them for giving you that gift. #3 Thank her for giving you an "open mind", then ask her to stop telling you and others that she's praying (what we call talking to an imaginary being) for you. Ask her to pray privately...or for herself; not for you. #4 Consider re-stating that " my ex had led me down a dark path" that's a #religulous, blaming strategy. Consider saying "we both made mistakes". We couldn't see eye-to-eye. "We couldn't agree to disagree". Less "faulting" more - "I'm my own person now" strategy #5.You now have us to talk to. Lots of chat groups. Some active, so not so much. Explore. post lots of pics of your life. Make comments so we get to know you....you'll find us much more tolerable than the #religulous.

Seriously, read the title. Once it hits you'll see both double meanings.

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2020:

@JACAR; I'm not an admin; but allow me to attempt to answer you. #1. free speech and free thinkers implies that you're free to speak as you like and think as you like; but they/we will block hate speech/spam speech, and unsupported, obviously false/fake speech. #2. You seem to be defending one religion over another. We are an equal-religion dis-believer - BUT - we don't get heavy, nor agressive, nor profane, nor hostile about it. Religions and the religulous have become almost funny to most of us; we laugh at them, or feel sorry for them. BTW; "evil" is a #religulous concept. Most of us agnostics don't consider the #religulous "evil" as much as "delusional". So you're wasting your time pointing out who is attacking who, and where. We get it. The religious tend to inspire extreme behavior. Crusades. etc. We don't say one is more "evil" than the other...we tend to point out in humorous memes how the believers are a bit of a joke to those of us who've become demanding of "knowing facts"...scientists....as it were. Just lighten up. There's no "superior whities" any more than there's "inferior darkies" - both are outdated, racist, uneducated concepts. If you don't lighten up; you can count on being blocked and eventually asked to leave - and then forced to leave - if you continue with the hostile diatribe.

An interesting viewpoint: "The DNC is being controlled by the media." [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2020:

Let's not be so hard on the DNC and its' leader, Perez. Here's an accounting of someone - or some group - yet to be identified - offering Perez and his "lieutenants" exit money. Perez - only make $61k a year...has refused the offer. It will be interesting following this money trail. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/tom-perez-dnc-compensation

Not me! I had plenty of bad ones!

You get that look on your face? LOL!

A wonderful photo found online! See first comment.

OK, geologists; what made this formation? I'm guessing it's a caldera to an ancient exploded volcano? wait; that's the top of an old fencepost? Wow!

I understand the need and the intentions...but I draw the line at manipulation.

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2020:

Crudely put;. But - in your defense - it's funny - because there's too many guys who think like this! How about....(for the lower quote in the image) "because you inspire be to become a better person" ?

We made it!

Days are getting longer....nights shorter. Any month, now...we'll see some "spring" (those of us north of the Equator). How are you Aussies doing? How's those fires? Dry spells?

Classy and Sexy! Yesssss!

I took the rug I made to my quiz night to show friends the finished product.

It's Friday! Do you believe in Magic?

Robecology comments on Jan 31, 2020:

Being agnostic/scientific it's really annoying to listen to anyone be encouraged by "magic" or "fate" or "astrology". That's the stuff that led to religion in the first place. My son and daughter are both "Harry Potter" fans...I feel sorry for them; and feel badly that i raised them to enjoy them. The whole series is too "magical" for me. Science fiction that's close to reality - that's believable - is awesome to me. Carl Sagan's "Contact" has to be my favorite book and movie. H.G. Wells, Arthur Clarke, Jules Verne; all stuck to the kind of Science Fiction that I couldn't get enough of...close to realistic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRoj3jK37Vc

Not sure if I like this or not. Bonsai Tree House

Robecology comments on Jan 30, 2020:

If that's a live tree; then that is a work of serious art. I'm privileged to volunteer for the James Smith Bonsai collection at Heathcote Gardens in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Come Visit us; and come when the tree artists are there pruning to see what a challenge this is. https://www.heathcotebotanicalgardens.org

Avgolemono Soup - Greek Penicillin?

Robecology comments on Jan 30, 2020:

Meh....a milk-broth-based soup doesn't appeal to me. I need a clear broth. I've been "cream-of-chicken-soup-ed" one time too many, i guess. That - and any time you video outdoors, you always get a lot of wind buffeting. Sorry...not impressed.

Take the wheel, Jesus!

Unreal picture. Extremely rare "capture"....

Happy Thursday everyone! Thunderstorms and Lightning - how do you feel about them?

Robecology comments on Jan 30, 2020:

As a child I had a traumatic even occur. I was 7 or 8, trying to "be brave" and ride out a fierce lightning storm in a dark attic bedroom...when while I was watching out the window I saw a bolt strike a neighbors house. It literally "blew a hole in the roof" which ended up as a fire. My parents called the fire department thanks to my frightful rant....but it traumatized me for the rest of my life about watching storms.

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but in case any of you want to steal it.

Robecology comments on Jan 30, 2020:

I'm of the school that suggests that we "become" human over the years. We are not, in fact, according to most behavioral scientists - human at birth. We rarely can recall anything beyond (younger than) 3 years old....so I honestly think this time; post 3 year old - is the beginning of our "human-ness". And consider this; if birth control devices and advice were freely distributed - the number of abortions would drop drastically. We wouldn't need "abortion rights" if family planning tools and advice were freely available. Abortions would still exist if - for example - we discovered the embryo we had created was "faulty" - deformed, or otherwise...we'd still have an excuse to abort. So those who fight abortions are being solidly hypocritical (as the #religulous often are) because they also fight family planning tools and distribution.

Just a little trump humor.....

I like the "hair" re-do.... Imagine if he was wise enough to shave the dome and grow some facial hair? He might look semi-intelligent!
