People fall for this crap? Oh ffs, really?

zeuser replies on Jul 10, 2018:

@slydr68 good point.

Would you date someone who is a self-proclaimed psychic/intuitive?

zeuser comments on Jul 10, 2018:

There's a wide continuum of reasons to date or not date someone. You have to balance that together with your goals. For certain considerations, I'd sit for a tarot reading. Hell, I've done them, for reasons that seemed like a good idea at the time, you know? Heh.

zeuser replies on Jul 10, 2018:

@BettyColeman No, no, it's all a crock. I used to go along with it keep someone's attention, then later segue into other things. 8-)

What's the best coffee you've ever had and where did you have it?

zeuser comments on Jul 9, 2018:

I was in Austin Texas for a conference early in the century, and I was hung over as hell. I went to a little Mexican place for some huevos with some legitimate frijoles and ice cold salsa with a warm tortilla, and a cup of hot, strong coffee that made me moan with the first sip. I grind my beans ...

zeuser replies on Jul 9, 2018:

@Ellatynemouth It was wonderful! Not much in the way of good Mexican food here in NC, but the coffee was the major memory.

What's the best coffee you've ever had and where did you have it?

thinktwice comments on Jul 9, 2018:

Unless it is weak, there hasn't been a coffee that I haven't liked. I love coffee as long as it is strong, dark, and puts hair on my chest. ;)

zeuser replies on Jul 9, 2018:

You got hair on your chest? Oh my. 8-)

I found a brilliant post, it says EXACTLY what I think.

zeuser comments on Jul 9, 2018:

I don't have any family members on the crazy train, and I feel sorry for those of us who do.

zeuser replies on Jul 9, 2018:

@silverotter11 So you just don't talk politics? Or you just don't talk? The temptation for you and young sis to gang up on your twin at family gatherings is probably tough to resist, assuming you do resist it. That's a good post, even though I can't directly relate with a family member, it can apply to certain people who I thought I knew better. Oh well.

Just had to share this with everyone more hypocrisy I was talking to customer the other day and said...

zeuser comments on Jul 2, 2018:

Hey, now wait just one minute here. Nobody told me about any of that stuff.

zeuser replies on Jul 3, 2018:

@freeofgod finally, some rules I can live with. ?

What nonbelievers do you remember from TV growing up?

zeuser comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Michael and Gloria Stivic from All in the Family come to mind. I remember the show where Archie snuck the new Stivic baby into a church to secretly baptize him, and really pissed off atheist mom and dad.

zeuser replies on Jul 1, 2018:

@BufftonBeotch yeah, you're right, the fight over the baptism precipitated Archie's sneaky christening ceremony.

The Trump of Ancient Greece. This has happened before. ://historynewsnetwork.org/article/169159

Mooolah comments on Jul 1, 2018:

Remember the militia movement prior to the Timothy McVeigh Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing? They are all in the Trump Cult trance. & any history we do teach anymore is superficial.

zeuser replies on Jul 1, 2018:

Most history that they teach in elementary and high schools is standardized and sanitized, and presented as a series of factoids you can easily use in making a multiple choice test. There is very little conveyance of context, and no real attempt to draw parallels with current events. It's one of my biggest problems with American education in general.

Do you ever experience lucid dreams?

zeuser comments on Jun 29, 2018:

This happens to me when I sleep in specific places. Like when I visit my dad in PA and sleep in my old room, I get very vivid and lifelike dreams. If I wake up and fall back asleep, the dream picks up where it left off. There are definite plot lines, and sometimes a surprise ending. Happens much ...

zeuser replies on Jun 29, 2018:

@Surfpirate I can't remember any where the narrative picked up the next day, but I have seen venues from the previous night, or even previous week or month, and recognize them. You sound like you need to start dreaming about vacation venues. I can see where having to relive a work scenario when you sleep can be exhausting.

Am I on the right track?

zeuser comments on Jun 28, 2018:

That's a little harsh, isn't it? Anyone can change, and I'd prefer trying to be an agent of that change, at least in part. However, I believe in tough but fair. When being fair doesn't work out and you see these kind of tactics being deployed against you, your approach should be considered.

zeuser replies on Jun 28, 2018:

@Ciravolostone No, I'm not. I give everybody a chance and try to be a positive influence. If someone comes after me, I mean literally comes after me, I respond in kind. There are conservatives who so despise liberalism and its adherents that they really do think the approach you describe is warranted. I won't stand still for that. The approach you described is not how I'd do it, but I won't run away either.

They're Heeerrrreeee!!! I've got prooof.

LucyLoohoo comments on Jun 25, 2018:

BRILLIANT! Perhaps it's a GOD! Should we WORSHIP?

zeuser replies on Jun 25, 2018:

I recognize some god-like characteristics. It is damnably hard to get rid of, it is completely empty, and if you talk to it, it doesn't talk back.

Assuming evolution is correct, do you think that if humans went extinct another species as ...

zeuser comments on Jun 25, 2018:

There are a lot of different traits that could conceivably give some future species an evolutionary advantage, depending on what the environment eventually turns out to be. Remember, evolution based on natural selection just continues the characteristics that are conducive to a species' survival - ...

zeuser replies on Jun 25, 2018:

@nicknotes You could make a credible argument that this is already happening. Heh.

Hello all :) This is my first post.

zeuser comments on Jun 24, 2018:

I'll listen to anything and love to learn about new music types. You got some links? And yes, welcome to the monkey house. B-)

zeuser replies on Jun 25, 2018:

@Aedolyn Wow, I listened to all the ones you posted here, you are very talented. Are you working with an orchestra and choir, or are there some synthesized portions, or both? And this reminds me, I'm backed up two episodes of Westworld. Thanks for showing your stuff, it's really impressive! B-)

I may have just ended a 45 year friendship.

At the ports of entry ICE and Mexican border officials are blocking entry. When people try to come another way they are arrested and charged with a misdemeanor, at which time the children are taken away. So, no not 100% are entering at ports of entry. However, it is NOT mandated by law to remove ...

zeuser replies on Jun 22, 2018:

You can leave off the "when he tosses blame elsewhere" part, and the sentence is still true.

AdorkableMe comments on Jun 20, 2018:

Hmmm...interesting consideration. With our relationships with so many countries is in jeopardy, I would advise all people to seriously reconsider joining our military, the space farce included. :-/

zeuser replies on Jun 20, 2018:

@AdorkableMe I just checked. You're right! LOL

jlynn37 comments on Jun 19, 2018:

I will say that if there is not a major change and shift in the Nov. elections, this country is lost. If it does not happen, then every nut job racist, white supremist, evangelical fundamentalist will be running for election and winning. IMHO

zeuser replies on Jun 20, 2018:

I think you're right. Not a reason to stop fighting. But yeah.

You made me hurt you

zeuser comments on Jun 19, 2018:

Can you imagine having to live with this asshole?

zeuser replies on Jun 19, 2018:

@Bairsdad I predict we will one day be able to compare the pictures of him and Mussolini hanging from their heels.

It’s an insult to Tribbles, really...

zeuser comments on Jun 19, 2018:

At least we can conclude the talking yam isn't a Klingon. Tribbles hate Klingons. I guess they're ok with.Ferrengi.

zeuser replies on Jun 19, 2018:

@PeppermintDreads That would solve a lot, wouldn't it? LOL

Alpha males? Surely there is a better term – how about tossers? [theguardian.com]

WalterWhite comments on Jun 17, 2018:

There are alpha males for sure, but as a gay man I think I am beta in some ways. I love nu kittens that go mu, and people say my pi is to die for.

zeuser replies on Jun 17, 2018:

Go sit in the back rho. You are trying to gamma the system, o chi?

Have you ever considered the ingredients of toothpaste?

pixiedust comments on Jun 16, 2018:

You can buy tuna and meat flavoured toothpastes for dogs and cats. Anybody else cut the end off a mostly empty toothpaste tube so you can stick the toothbrush into the tube to get the last bits of toothpaste? I started doing this when I was a broke student.

zeuser replies on Jun 17, 2018:

Yeah, I did that too.

Two is not better than one...

mtnhome comments on Jun 15, 2018:

And THAT'S EXACTLY the problem with impeachment. We just trade assholes to one that will focus on all the other stupid stuff that trump overlooked.

zeuser replies on Jun 15, 2018:

Yeah, but if the guy you replaced was forcibly removed, you'd probably be a little more subdued. A hanging crowd that already tasted blood is a little touchy.

What are you looking forward to this weekend?

zeuser comments on Jun 15, 2018:

I'm in northeastern PA to spend Father's day with my 93 year old dad. I'll probably spring for a nice seafood dinner with him , and enjoy some steamed clams and a couple of martinis . He reeally likes the Maryland crab bisque .

zeuser replies on Jun 15, 2018:

@Nurse-Quantros what are you gonna make?

Flirting. If you are single, how far do you go?

zeuser comments on Jun 15, 2018:

I like to flirt. I've never been an overly aggressive flirter. It's always a good idea to tell your female bartender that she looks great, and I favor nuanced and clever double entendres and suggestive wordplay, as long as it's cute and funny, with attractive women. In a relationship, I don't ...

zeuser replies on Jun 15, 2018:

@constancinople understood, and I never did this in a professional or work related context. But I always respected boundaries, even in bars or at parties. Just like anything else, if you do it right, it can be fun.

Any wine lovers?

zeuser comments on Mar 26, 2018:

I love Pinot grigio, true Rose, oaky chardonnays, Sauvignon Blanc, nice big Zinfandels, Pinot noir, and the occasional Gewurtztraminer. I love dry Chianti with Italian food. And who doesn't love champagne?

zeuser replies on Jun 15, 2018:

@Akfishlady now That is a shame!

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 replies on Jun 14, 2018:

@kensmile4u then you can ask and discuss and judge whether you believe. Or you can trust. It may not be possible for everyone depending on someone's history. But, imo, it shouldn't make a difference.

People say forgive and forget, I say forget about forgiving and just accept.

TheMiddleWay comments on Jun 12, 2018:

I'd rather forgive and never forget. Forgetting just makes it more likely you'll have to forgive again because you forgot what cause the problem in the first place.
