You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dr. Jones again.

100 is a violation of the human destiny, the imperative to try harder, reach further, do more, that anyone has done before. It is anti-progress.

We always need to set higher goals somehow.
 
Maybe god wants us to exercise our free will? (and our ports)

For that matter, maybe the Great Monkey wants us to eat fruits and berries and swing from the tallest trees, and just quit being stupid about cars, trains, planes, and jobs.

"free will" I equate with the natural human rights of cognition, purpose, and action, all essential to our human condition as viable actors in the world with some right to live here somehow.
 
Well, for the record. I called it experimental "play" and I observe that it does not seem to be as much "fun" as heterosexual "play". The pieces just didn't fit the same. Things didn't "feel" the same. If I don't castrate a young bull, those pheromones the real cows put out pretty well dominate the bulls decisions.

But my real point here is that I don't feed my cows from plastics laced in estrogenic chemicals. My cattle have not shifted their morphological measurements or their choice of partners. Meanwhile, I allege, we humans as a society have chosen to shift our entire legal/cultural system to avoid seeing the effects of our exposure to artificial estrogens particularly in our food containers. But also in our carpets, our children's toys. . . . you know, the stuff our rugrats suck on all day long between feedings. . . .

I don't think this is true. I eat out of plastic things all the time and I only wear women's underwear on the weekends:p

So like all statistics, the data generally involve a mean, a mode, and a variance factor. Obviously, we still have some real males in the cohort, individuals who are not affected to the same extent as others, as well as variance in the actual exposures to the estrogens.

Feedlot cattle will constitute a divergent cohort from grass-fed, open-range cattle like mine.

And then, again, I noticed in high school days that we always seemed to have a class clown purposefully pulling stunts for attention. Might have been just that I was always in the group I was analyzing. . . . .
 
I have one song with explicit labeling on my spotify playlist. I feel so old

what are you talking about. What is a spotifu playlist?

I'd guess you are saying that you don't fit in with the trendies in todays high schools with a playlist of rap songs whose titles couldn't pass the filter here..

feeling old is everybody's destiny. Only kids want to be older, and only until they reach something like 18, with some who will tolerate slightly older ages as not yet "over the hill".

old people like me get tired of all that stupidity and eventually don't mind getting outta here for good.

hopefully, we will have more waves of youngsters who will assuredly believe they are what it's all about.

Spotify is a music application.
 
Yes truly perplexing. What is next? combining two words and making a streaming website? what will they call it? Netflix? huh.

Hey mr knowledge, would you happen to know where I might be able to found the post I have been quoted on?

That's easy.

When somebody quotes you, look for the little bullet right after your name at the head of the quote.

Really helps when you know what people are talking about in here.
 
So I just got back from another odyssey into California, driving to LA then San Francisco. A storm started brewing over SoCal so I drove back via Reno. Not one flake of snow over the Donner Pass, and practically no snow on the ground. Gotta wonder what California is gonna do for water this summer.

I did hear a flash flood warning for a burb twenty miles east of LA near a burned off area, and there was supposed to be some snow over some of the mountains down there on Sunday night.

I can't even imagine living in an all year warm state. I mean as much as snow is a pain in the a** I still miss it every time it says farewell for the year.

Sleep all you can, it's excellent practice for death. 'Tis quite unfair I was unable to practice for life. May we all join together and fart towards one hemisphere while passionately preserving Mother Earth on the other.

I used to "practice dying" all the time previously when I was a buddhist through the practice of meditation.


Through focussing on the breath, "thought" or the sense of "self" began to fade away and we can begin to understand that in each moment there is only the breath that exists: thoughts, sensations, emotions, sounds and images arise and past away, nothing is permanent, everything is void. Focussing on that breath moment by moment we understand the impermanence of life, hence birth and death.


Buddhists often go on and say that this state of bliss or nirvana is all we need... I no longer hold that view though.

I grew up in the warm. Snow was a miracle, it made the world new and wonderful, for a day or two.

When I came north, I practiced driving in the snow. I remember doing all kinds of crazy stuff in the huge parking lot west of Rice Stadium when it was a sheet of ice. I also drove out pass Tooele, into Skull Valley, and up that road nearly to Dugway, where the snow was a foot deep one afternoon, and charging off up an unplowed farm track in my '67 Firebird. Of course I got stuck, that was the plan. I wanted to figure out how to get myself out. But, thankfully, a farmer came in his truck and pulled me out. I could see it in his eye. He knew exactly why I was there. I was an idiot.
