This young woman discovered a surprisingly touching cure for wokeness:

@boglerdude All of this gets dismissed so easily by most everyone. None of it will be vindicated until vaccine status gets tied into bio-metrics which becomes a de facto ID system. If this is then connected to payment systems then the conspiracy theorists are right, only it is too late. Until that h...

I’ve heard good things about OneNote and Obsidian. I don't know how good Obsidian is for tracking finances. I have been using it for organizing a writing project and it has saved me months of work. My favorite feature is that you can view a group of documents in a three dimensional view that operat...

I think young men are much smarter than they are given credit for, even than they give themselves credit for, and that they are just doing a simple cost/benefit analysis. In the sixties you could get a job and raise a family straight out of high school. In the seventies and eighties there were good ...

Damn, you guys-- Do you have any idea how Russian women age? Sure, they may look good to you now, but when those warts start popping out and their noses sag worse than their boobs, you're going to regret it deeply. Besides, what's wrong with WiseOne and me? We may not have sex tapes, but we come wi...

They left out: "stay married" and 'go to church."

This is obviously a deliberately provocative statement, meant more to define the state of humanity than the state of God. I think it can be read either of two ways, and I'm not sure which is correct. Either Nietzsche is lamenting that people no longer have the proper regard for God, or he's exaltin...

This is obviously a deliberately provocative statement, meant more to define the state of humanity than the state of God. I would imagine that he was referring to the way that the scientific, mechanistic world view was supplanting the idea of a benevolent creator for people. No longer would we look ...

Thank you, WiseOne. Will check that out.

Okay, but not really addressing specifically where Ornish is wrong. Here is Ornish's point in a nutshell: While Dr. Ornish admits weight loss is possible on a ketogenic diet, he asks whether ‘you are mortgaging your health’ when doing so. He says: “The answer is yes. When you look at the arteries of...

@WiseOne I am curious about this ketogenic diet and am sure you have your facts in order but I am experiencing serious cognitive dissonance having in the past read and put into practice the Dean Ornish diet, and the keto diet appears to be the opposite of that. My question is, has the work of Ornish...

It isn't just ISIS. It seems like most of the terrorists have very considerately halted operations while we were getting COVID under control.

It is getting subtler all the time. I believe now that experiencing unconscious bias towards marginalized groups might qualify. Luckily you can take an Implicit Bias test online at Harvard which will tell you if you are one. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html Or you can just file i...

So how long will it be before a wokester proclaims that no one will take his mask until they pry it from his/her/zir/them cold, dead hands?

Tom, thanks for the exhaustive list. That's too much for me to do, but I am going to think about how I could apply the 80/20 principle to it. This is a really important point. The only way to do it right is to make it your new all consuming hobby. You might have to drop a few of your old hobbies to...

And yet they are still giving that bastard Fred Rogers a pass.

Even if there were hundreds of violent Christian militias just waiting to take over, they would only be people who failed to understand Christianity.

Failed Christians.

Other potentially violent groups we have seen recently, not so much.

They are following their philosophies to the letter.

It's time to talk about people killed by airbags and mice who chase cats. We can't wait any longer.

Impossible. Fads are temporary by definition.

Even if you get a second passport, everyone you know and love is still left behind. Will new life abroad be that rosy with this knowledge?

This thread needs to be retitled:

Who still supports Starbucks after this?

Most people who support black lives matter are supporting a movement and not an organization, or rather conflating the two. Whenever I see a black lives matter sign I want to pull out a Sharpie and amend it:

"Don't sign on till you have read their mission statement."

This is a great butternut squash soup recipe which has a secret ingredient which makes this soup epic and indescribable. (The secret ingredient is tart green apples, which, it turns out, is something that butternut squash needs.) I don't follow this recipe exactly, as I like to roast everything at t...
