@Bigpawbullets; Sorry, this just isn't true. We can vote it in...and vote it out. The decision to gain socialized medicine and education is crucial if we want to fight climate change. The problem with Venezuela was....and still is...Oil. Read Maddow's book,** BlowOut**. The **FFC** the Fossil fuel consortium...is out to gain profits and ignore the mental and physical health of our nation. We won't have it. Yes...we want democratic Socialism. Socialized medicine, socialized education. What we want is medicare for all...like most civilized nations.- and no....it won't cost us more; there will be no insurance charges...only a simple higher tax....which will mean much lower costs for all of us...in a "socialist" healthy society. And higher education - free - so we can regain our status in the world as the leader in education. In the 1950's we were #1 (taxes on the wealthiest 90%). Now we're 32nd. The **FFC.**....is many times bigger than** BT.**..big tobacco. I bet you know someone who died, far too early - mainly because they were a "smoker". I bet you have grandchildren that will be sad that you posted this naive commentary about Venezuela. The toxicity of fossil fuels may not be that obvious.....but it will eventually lead us to irreversible, runaway global warming. Your grandchildren will explain it to you some day. BT lied their way through decades of profits. They lied to the smokers you and I knew that died prematurely. Click on the ad images below...I remember them. I bet you do too. They were all lies.

Robecology comments on Oct 23, 2019:

Our "aroma memory" is interesting. Perhaps more primitive than our sight evolution is sensing flavors and smells/tastes (if in a fluid/liquid environment, it's more defined as "taste" rather than smell). That complex emotion and memory can be triggered by a simple sensory cue: the smell of winter air, for example. How do smells trigger such strong emotions and memories? The answer is likely due to brain anatomy. Incoming smells are first processed by the olfactory bulb, which starts inside the nose and runs along the bottom of the brain. The olfactory bulb has direct connections to two brain areas that are strongly implicated in emotion and memory: the amygdala and hippocampus. Interestingly, visual, auditory (sound), and tactile (touch) information do not pass through these brain areas. This may be why olfaction, more than any other sense, is so successful at triggering emotions and memories. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-babble/201501/smells-ring-bells-how-smell-triggers-memories-and-emotions

Mark Twain - “The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible.”

He had a personal faith - he said he believed in God, attended church and donated money for the construction of a church. But he skewered religious hypocrisy wherever he found it. “Man is without any doubt the most interesting fool there is,” he wrote in “Letters from the Earth,” a commentary on Bible stories written in 1909, a year before his death. https://www.sltrib.com/religion/global/2017/10/16/new-film-on-mark-twain-highlights-his-religious-doubts/

Evolution has had many, many dead ends and wrong turns. Consider why men are still born with a foreskin; even though we now know that untouched foreskins promote more genital/venereal diseases. If it hadn't been for the development of circumcision, then many generations of a higher illness/death frequency would have eventually favored no foreskin...but we "bypassed" evolution. Neanderthals were but one of several well known Pre-homo-sapiens humanoid species that despite their massive strength and endurance, had many small evolutionary "dead ends"....the Eustachian tube was simply one more these folk discovered. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/circumcision/about/pac-20393550

This is just talk. They're "looking for collaboration partners". No concept cars have even been produced. But do remember; There's serious pressure to keep you/us addicted to fossil fuels.

What If the Earth Was One Living Organism? [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Oct 17, 2019:

The Gaia hypothesis - Earth behaving like an organism....makes a lot of sense. We get a "fever" when a population of germs gets a "foothold" in a part of our body. The fever actually is a mechanism that not only kills the germs, but speeds the production of anti-germ chemicals (anti-bodies and WBC's). Could Global warming be a "fever" that Gaia earth has caught to rid it of excess "germs"? It's interesting that as earth evolved life - it started in the oceans...and was only able to come on land once Ozone protecion was in place. This Ozone wasn't possible until we built up at least 16% Oxygen. Dinosaurs not only dealt with lower O2 levels but much higher CO2 levels...there was no ice nor snow for most dinosaur evolution. So Gaia first synthesized Oxygen in the ocean. Then the excess oxygen in the upper atmosphere allowed the UV protecting "Ozone" layer to form...which then allowed land life to evolve. But CO2 acts like a greenhouse....and over the past 200 years we've unburied and burned (dumped in to our atmosphere) what took hundreds of millions of years to store underground...carbon. So this greenhouse gas gives the earth a "fever' which then acts to destroy those who dug up and dumped the CO2 in to the air....especially the dumb ones who live too close to the ocean? hmmmmm?

Robecology comments on Oct 17, 2019:

This is why I'm signed on for "battling obesity". I learn tricks of (diet) self control from them. Ed and the others are modest...and they've lost a lot more weight than I ever did...but their "tricks" helps me keep track of my weight. Here's the root of the problem; We were raised....before we could walk and talk....to like certain foods. We were given a variety of things by our parents in response to our "tantrums"... -hugs -breast milk -water/milk in a bottle -wise snack foods - veggies, complex foods. -unwise snack foods; candy, sugar-based. -ignoring - letting us cry or struggle with nothing. We were told - very young....to eat...even when we weren't hungry. So fighting "sweet tooth" habits is far worse and more challenging than fighting a drug addiction. Drug addictions start in our teen years...Food addictions....again....before we could walk and talk. Don't blame your parents. But do educate the parents you know now....if they'll listen to you Food addiction is powerful...and pervasive. https://foodaddictioninstitute.org/faq/

I might finally get the answer regarding which came first.

Robecology comments on Oct 16, 2019:

We all know evolution works. So to answer that eternal question - which came first; the chicken or the egg...; ...There were - many millions of years ago....many bird-like, egg laying reptiles....but then a few evolved that were more bird than reptiles They flew short distances...and took up the niche that would become our domestic chickens. Eventually a few of these Reptilian-birds met....did the intimate thing (no intercourse in birds and reptiles....just touching "cloacas" where sperm from the male entered the female) and voila ...the first chicken egg occurred. So technically; the chicken came first. When a male and female bird-reptilian-chicken-like creature met; they mated. Their children became more chicken like...and less reptilian....over many thousands of years.

Here's another one.. You know who it is... 😘😘

Robecology comments on Oct 16, 2019:

"While there is no smoking gun, the abundance of circumstantial evidence makes a strong case for the role of the appendix as a place where the good bacteria can live safe and undisturbed until they are needed," researcher William Parker, PhD, assistant professor of experimental surgery at Duke University Medical Center, says in a news release.'

The canal-based city on the coast in Belgium. Beautiful. We will be needed your engineering wisdom soon on the Florida East coast and MIami and most of the coastal cities there transition to many more 'canals" due to the influx of sea level there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruges

Long story short, this video is about a supposedly properly conducted study on male and female brain...

@DZhukovin. Shit...Read it? Gather it? Question it? Compare it? A meme comes to mind....

A little corny.

How can they even pedal this stupid bullshit with a straight face?

You're lucky....you only have one "antagonist"?

Soft light photo.. Looks great!

We are a very strange society: 🤔

What is your point...that voter registration is not being adhered to? Can you tell us where this is the case? I tried finding some in USA...I can't. Do you realize the racist and biased push of this chart, above? Where can you go, or cite - that it's legal to vote without documentation in the U.S.? On the other hand; do you know what "gerrymandering" is? Do you know that many legitimately registered voters were "wiped off the records"? https://apps.voxmedia.com/at-preview/in-person-voter-fraud/?initialWidth=911=in-person-voter-fraud__graphic How much in-person voter fraud was detacted and persecuted between 2000 and 2014? 35 . How many people voted in that time period? 834,065,926 Republicans have accused several organizations of planning or carrying out voter fraud, targeting groups like the New Black Panther Party (which isn't affiliated with the original Black Panther Party), and community organizing group ACORN with various accusations during and after President Barack Obama's 2008 election. But voter ID laws - including the much-scrutinized law in North Carolina - don't address the types of fraud that do happen. The North Carolina law in fact made it easier to vote by mail-in absentee ballot by making registration forms more easily available online, and it doesn't require absentee voters to show photo ID. So those who are clever enough can skirt voter ID demands in North Carolina. @bigpawbullets; Your racism and Xenophobia is showing.

Meanwhile in the Oldest Colony in the World.

So where's the documentation about the shootout? And I assume you're OK with people having shootouts? And you have no empathy for the Opiates crisis...what's your idea of a solution...a shootout?

I sure do, how about you?

Here is a PDF of something called "Agenda 21" What do we find wrong about it?

Robecology comments on Oct 16, 2019:

The problem with the UN is that they make these unbelievably long, drawn out doctrines...and then no one follows them. Their ideas are great. Their enforcement is toothless. They need to re-program their policies to be simpler, easier to measure/gage, and enforce. Love the UN concept, hate the reality of their excessive bureaucracy.

Nice figure, nice exposure of fliesh. nice shades and tones in the pic....even the slightly out-of-focus of the image....I'd give it a 5/5 but the background choices were just awful.... Imagine her standing in front of a plain wall...or window...or even a mirror...wow.

Hello, and happy Wednesday! What, aside from grammatical errors, is one of your biggest pet peeves?

Robecology comments on Oct 16, 2019:

I recall watching old folk talking as a child...and I noticed they just talked about their ills. It saddened me...to the point of resolve never to do that when I get older... So I concur with @Ugly, below....pet peeve #1...(besides grammar errors)...."People who jabber on about their maladies."

People should have guessed that

I'm rather surprised with the lack of public comment on the state of Trump's mental health....but I'm assuming that too many assume that if he got this far he's a "stable genius"...?

A club far too many people today are members of if you ask me...

The man I am dating told me that most women wear thong underwear, at least on date night.

Robecology comments on Oct 15, 2019:

Rude of him to say "most women wear thong underwear"....much nicer if he just bought you a few pair....assuming the intimacy has gone that far...
