Ya, now that I am an antique, the old comedy shows used to be funny. It was hard to keep from laughing. But now the mindless muck! There is a moronic situation followed by 'that' laugh record! Why bother? At least the Limeys, still have fun shows; the supposed "lower classes", there, have always enjoyed trashing the "gentry".

The Young And Secular Are Least Vaccinated, Not Evangelicals

Diogenes comments on Aug 8, 2021:

Thanks for that; sorry I did not read it all. I don't know if "secular" is a just word. When there are people too lazy to care about much of anything, good or bad- and when there are philosophical ideas that might be looked into, that would be a strange trip for them.

“Words, too, have genuine substance – mass and weight and specific gravity.” — Tim O’Brien

Diogenes comments on Aug 7, 2021:

So true! "Big words" as they have been called, and often misused, are irrelevant. I too often use the word "thing" instead of a specific noun or verb. Decades ago I was watching a doc about the Canadian orator Marshall McCluhan. It ws foolishness; instead of saying something; he was trying hard to be 'McCluhanesque'. At one time he was quoted, "The medium is the message:.

Yesssss! Passwords! And even when a person writes down their thousand password- they are still not correct when a person goes to use them! And on to something else, but still dealing with stress. When you go to a store and pick up a container of (hypothetical) 'Marvelous Orange' it will have all sorts of information on the label: convenient, easy to use; remains soft, etc and etc. Is it pudding, hair shampoo or car wax? That "pudding" sure as hell tasted bad! Then with a magnifying glass, in a hidden corner, a person finds the words "car wax".

Who cares about religion? It is a non-topic. I had a Political Science prof from Australia who called 'this' place', Canader. Religion is being replaced with other mindless mush.

On the census in Canada there was a question, "What was your gender at birth?" I was a three-eared toad- but I morphed into a giraffe!

When a person has nothing in their head, there is no problem sleeping. When there is endless negative thoughts, there can be no sleep, at least not for me! Right now the heat is causing discomfort- but people are also dying. And when it gets so hot that food will not grow- that will be the next issue. Of course the perpetual optimist will have a platitude about some mysterious "bright side"- which is 100% bull shit. The reality is that it is going to take more than a small group to fight back- and CHANGE the causes. I did enjoy the English German football game yesterday. All the pundits had it wrong too.
