How close are you to your Ex?

zeuser comments on Jun 14, 2018:

If you start picking and choosing friends for your lover, that's controlling and ultimately self defeating. If you can't handle it, maybe you should confront your own insecurity and sense of self worth instead of wallowing in pointless jealousy. Just imo.

zeuser comments on Jun 14, 2018:

Geez, that's quite a list, Rob. I don't like if people try to talk over me. Or if I park in a remote place in a lot with empty spaces on either side and someone inexplicably parks right next to me. Or I need one of something and I can only buy a package of 20. Or a 12 dollar glass of wine with a pour that's only half a glass. And now, they put frigging avocado's, which I am allergic to, on *everything*. And yeah, you kids get OFF my damn LAWN!! ?

Just to be clear, I'm stealing this poll question from the Today show.

That's a lot of hypotheticals. I don't know how you would design an experiment to test the hypotheses, because I don't have that expertise. I've struggled with the issue of objective morality m'self. When you start talking in absolute terms, like "always make that decision" or "full knowledge", I can't come up with anything that would clarify, prove, or disprove that in every case.

The Tipping Point When Minority Views Take Over - The Atlantic

zeuser comments on Jun 10, 2018:

Social media makes this kind of "sentiment manipulation" depressingly easy and formulaic. It explains a LOT about how voter sentiment was targeted and changed last election, where a state by state effort produces outsized results when paired with an archaic electoral college model. This is scary, but at least someone is trying to understand how it works.

Loss of American Jobs?

zeuser comments on Jun 10, 2018:

By making certain items more expensive, prices rise, manufacturers have to cut cost elsewhere, because higher prices are passed on to consumers, and that means less demand. Most businesses sink most of their money into personnel, which is the obvious place to cut to both save money and reduce output. Yeah, American jobs will go away.

But humans are reeeally good at making up stories, and they don't like admitting they don't know. The story answers a lot of questions for non-critical thinkers, and it's easy to remember and embellish. Claiming an unprovable connection to the creator of the universe is a path to power for a lot of humans, and that is hard to turn your back on.

zeuser comments on Jun 10, 2018:

In my town, in the heart of anthracite country, the coal mines piled the mine tailings, called culm, into huge mounds by the breakers and surrounding areas.The mines had shut down by the time I was growing up. There were birch tree woods all around, cuz birch trees grow in anything. We'd set up forts in the woods, hang out, climb up the shale and slate piles, get filthy-ass dirty, then dial it up again the next day. One of the two playgrounds in town was right next to where the culm banks were, with a corner store that had popsicles and ice cold coke. Carefree times.

For so many people, the pharmaceutical end of this provides effective pain relief, so it's not a crisis for those guys, it's a really good thing. I don't know why heroin should be blamed on medical professionals and the pharmaceutical corps either. To the extent that pain relief generates revenue for those folks, there is probably an overprescription issue, but someone has to get hooked too, and a lot of times that is not a conscious decision. I voted no.

I've always thought that we make our own luck, but I have come to realize that this sort of simplistic view contains a fair amount of cultural, white privilege. Nonetheless, I believe Mr. Tyson has a valid point here. You do need to actively look for your opportunities. Things rarely just drop into your lap, you don't wait for your ship to come in, you row out and meet it. This is a worthy sentiment, and a good thing to be. And a steady dedication to lifelong learning predicates all of it.

Its sad to live in a part of this country where questioning a belif system is frowned upon so much.

zeuser comments on Jun 7, 2018:

Oh man, you list your age as 18. When I was 18, and that was a looong time ago, I stopped shaving to protest the vietnam war and grew a ponytail. Talk about being shunned by the community, I was openly insulted and called a traitor to my face. This was a couple of years before I figured out that religion was bullshit, and by that time, in my early 20's, I had a LOT more experience dealing with the fuckstick jackwagons with closed minds and a tribal prediliction to distrust and attack the unfamiliar. I suggest that you should persist, find your own way, do NOT give up your values or your voice, and grow stronger. And Kansas? Look for an escape hatch, but don't expect that a physical move will solve these problems, they are yours to confront wherever you find them, and they will find you, trust me. Stay strong, good luck, and I hope this helps just a little.

zeuser comments on Jun 6, 2018:

If he's really your friend, respecting your wishes should be a natural thing for him to do and I doubt he'll take offense. However, he may feel a spiritually-based urge to "help" you or "save" you, and think he's doing you a favor with his pseudoscience information and religious overtures. That can be dicey. If he doesn't take the hint, you have a decision to make, either put up with it or let this guy go his own way. Hope it works out for you one way or the other. Good luck.

Anybody give blood?

zeuser comments on Jun 5, 2018:

I have my 3 gallon pin from the red cross, however I haven't been able to donate to them for the last several years. About 7 or 8 years ago, they changed the screening test they use to detect syphillis. I have some autoimmune things that trigger a false positive for syphillis. The red cross has to do a more determinative test, and of course I don't have syphillis, but they are required to throw the blood away, even though it's as clean as a whistle. So they sent me a nice letter asking me to NOT donate, and encouraged me to send money instead. I've made calls and written letters, but there is no way around this as far as they are concerned. It pisses me off, because I am like you, it should be a humanitarian act that everyone performs.

What religion do you view as most threatening to democracy and why?

zeuser comments on Jun 5, 2018:

Now I don't like to use a broad brush to paint anything or anyone, that is a dangerous start that can lead to complete intolerance. So I will qualify my answer by saying it's all IMHO and I recognize that the acts of some should not constitute a reason for tarring all the rest. Having said that, it sure seems like the evangelical wing of the christian religion is mighty interested in turning us into a blatant theocracy. Southern Baptists are slightly saner, but even so they are in the amen corner enabling a lot of what the radical evangelicals are trying to do. Anybody have anything to convince me otherwise? I am willing to listen.

Is social media ruining peoples ability to connect?

zeuser comments on Jun 5, 2018:

Social media is a tool, and how it affects anybody's ability to relate to real people depends completely on how they use the tool. More and more people pay attention to their phones than they do to each other, even in public spaces that are designed for interaction, like bars for example. Others don't have any trouble with personal interactions IRL and exhibit some discipline over their social media habits. And, for some, social media is the only alternative for meaningful interpersonal interaction. I voted maybe.

I'll read anything written by Martin Cruz Smith or Ken Follett or Elmore Leonard. I like alternative history novels and series, especially Harry Turtledove's books. I wish CJ Pratt would write more books with Eno the Barbarian, even if Eno's not in them. K Eason's Outlaw trilogy. I like biographies too. It's escapism, I get too much reality on social media and the news.

How confident are you in debating fundamentalists?

zeuser comments on Jun 3, 2018:

You cannot debate a fundamentalist in any true sense.Debate requires logic and evidence. Fundamentalism requires neither. I feel comfortable with discussing anything at all with anyone, including the fundies. But it's never a debate. I see others have made the same point, so I guess I'm in the amen corner. LOL

Sometimes I find it almost impossible to remain polite and politically correct.

zeuser comments on Jun 3, 2018:

It's always worth it to speak the truth, and in general you will offend somebody. People do not let go of their traditions and prejudicial attitudes easily, and some never ever will. You can accept that reality without accepting the nonsense and discrimination that it protects. You didn't ask for advice, so I offer none. However, in my own life, I have found it to be more effective to pick my battles and not try to change everything all the time, which is what I did when I was younger. I hope the act of composing and publishing your message got some things off of your chest. Hang in there. Come back and rant again if things build up, we'll all listen.

My parents had a number of sparrows and a couple of cardinals that they became quite attached too. Crows are a little more complex than that, and I bet you'd enjoy the hell out of it. So would the crows, I'm guessing, else they'd just fly away, right?

Good luck to all!" Or something like that. If nobody asks, I don't say a damned thing.

Nostalgic music.

When I was in high school. The Who came out with Tommy, Jethro Tull came out with Aqualung, Chicago came out with Chicago - the album with 25 or 6 to 4, Black Sabbath came out with Paranoid, McCartney came out with Ram, and Clapton came out with Layla and other Love Songs. There's more, but those come immediately to mind. ELP came out with Lucky Man (forget the album, but I think it was just ELP) as well as Tarkus, Rod Stewart came out with Maggie May. Cream, Blind Faith, Steely Dan, geeze, I need to go play some vinyl now.
