Hi Everyone, I like a girl who is very religious but she is very pretty.

Keep working on your English (seriously, it massively broadens your dating pool, to be bilingual). Keep your eyes out for women you might "click" with. The quiet ones are often the best ones.

As far as i can tell, from previous conversations, we need to build a huge social network where people with varied interests can join together to talk and share ideas. This should be huge and just like facebook, except somehow organized by someone who isnt Mark Zuckerman. But is still organized enough to be coherant.

Scroll down to see the members of the political org youre complaining about. Very few of the members are in the insurance or pharmacuetical industry. Every player in the monolithic healthcare industry is dependent on every other, but the groups that are opposing MFA are mostly hospital systems and the local chambers of commerce. Protecting a huge employment sector is a political must. Its just lip service to blame that master-servant economic dynamic on the faceless ethereal corporations, instead of on our own neighbors. https://americashealthcarefuture.org/about-us/

An interesting article on vaginal versus Caesarian birth. [bbc.com]

MarkiusMahamius comments on Sep 18, 2019:

according to WHO the rate should be about 10-15%, for optimal mother baby health https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/161442/WHO_RHR_15.02_eng.pdf;jsessionid=557F9E36D6E83E590CDCF6E9ADB4CEA3?sequence=1 but its as high as 50% in some areas, and as low as a fraction of a percent in others. ive met women who wanted a c section for all sorts of reasons, but mostly convenience (timing the birth) or fear of complications from a vaginal delivery. On the whole, most every woman Ive met who has had one, says the "had to" for some special medical reason, but studies show its usually just the Drs convenience, or fear of lawsuits from the hospital industry. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/11/health/c-section-rates-study-parenting-without-borders-intl/index.html and also https://www.consumerreports.org/c-section/biggest-c-section-risk-may-be-your-hospital/

DO YOU THINK DISORGANIZED (NEW AGE) RELIGION IS AS BAD AS ORGANIZED RELIGION?

MarkiusMahamius comments on Sep 18, 2019:

As far as holding a dogma, particpating in group rituals, and congregating with others who share the same beliefs, theres quite a bit of religion in this world, and that includes many athrists, sgnostics, humanists, etc... Rejecting theism doesnt always mean rejecting religion

Trump calling it fake news is how you know it's true -- impeach the traitor! Donald J.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Sep 19, 2019:

I wouldnt speculate about Putin. I can see Trump talking to Israel or Saudi Arabia or Britain or either Korea, and promising support of some sort. And even if its Micronesia, its be a big deal if hes subverting congress, diplomacy, and treaties. Hge doeent get it, as far as how his job works. He could be trying to broker something with a millitary coup leader somewhere. Or a banker in Rusdia. Nothing would surprise me.

We must prevent the state’s GOP from suppressing the vote of their party members.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Sep 21, 2019:

Why must "we" prevent anything? Seriously, beyond being from one of those states, and being worried on principle about states rights vs federal domination, who cares? If youre directly affected, it seems like finding another party to ally with, is far more useful than clinging to the crumbling wreck of what was once the GOP.

Looks like an admission of guilt. Can this be used at his trial?

The NRA doesn't actually make decisions about gun design or marketing, they simply exist to lobby and propagandize.

Men and Women in MMA

MarkiusMahamius comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Gender is a really weird concept. Someone who *identified as* whatever thing, would be treated differently than someone who was biologically that thing. But anyhow, if a man beat a woman, he'd be called a horrible person (especially as violent as those fights can be) and if a woman beat a man, she'd either be accused of doping, or people would claim he threw the fight. Itd suck all around. Let world wide wrestling do the stupid stuff.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 4, 2019:

I find it amusing that youve got yourself worked into a frothy lather about words uttered by a semi-successful politician, making claims about things she would do, if she were elected, AND did what she said (or your personal spin) on the campaign trail , AND congress and the various states (the people who actually make the laws) did whatever she wishes. Its not going to hapoen, so however you want to interpret her intentions, its all good. Just remeber that youre likely making stuff up, just like she is.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 6, 2019:

i wonder how hard it would be for Americans to transition from having more stuff- the current commodification of what used to be non tangible quality of life indicators. eg the idealized successful middle class family had one TV, one car, not all the latest gadgets, mended their clothes, did more manual labor around the house, kids rode their bikes places instead of being driven, didnt keep their house cooled to 68 degrees at all times.... IF things were like they were when you could live on th eminimum wage, theyd be spending less at big box stores, wouldnt have a pantry full of snacks, mom would take the bus while dad was at work, the kids wouldbt be enrolled in ice skating lessons in the summer in Phoenix, and the infant mortality rate would be much higher, people would just die of diseases instead of living years and years with costly treatments... but theyd have enough money to send the kids to college, save for retirement, go on a vacation every now and then...

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 6, 2019:

Some of what you said makes sense, and you are totally entitled to vent- there is an odd discrepancy between our acceptance of people who feel marginalized, being allowed to interfere in other peoples lives, and the assumption that someone who was born into the mainstream, needing to shut up and keep to themselves. But when you tried to bring Obama and HRC into your reasoning, you lost all credibility. Its too bad we cant discuss issues that affect us all, without having to hear about each persons other issues. But it is what it is, I guess. Like I said, you can vent just like anyone else.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 9, 2019:

why does human happiness matter at all? i mean, its kinda a useful metric, as a symptom of other things. like, if we're doing it right we should be happy, since thats how our brains are wired to work. but happiness as a goal, like doing lots of drugs is equally valid to working to create a satisfying sustainable life, doesnt make sense. maybe if fewer people had the "happiness is all the matters, in the end" attitude, we could have less greed and abuse

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 10, 2019:

I received notification in my alerts that @Zesty had commented on my recent post q:412648.

Meh, she mostly stays in her own world, and her comments arent long. Easy to metabolize. Besides, if we get too much groupthink, we turn on eachother. The issues with the site not working correctly, seem like a bigger deal. What if Zesty had blocked you because you were actually harrassing here, but you could still message her? Considering thats the only legit reason for blocking, im (not) surprised it doesnt work.

MarkiusMahamius comments on Oct 17, 2019:

I think AY is a much nicer guy than DT, and i think he would pick smarter, more competent advisors too, but he would have lots of the same problems DT has... making decisions on incomplete information (not understanding the depth and bredth of the issues), learning on the job (getting bogged down on procedures and administrative tasks), and simply being unable to devote inhuman amounts of time to an incredibly steep learning curve, when hes also under huge time pressure for real life presidential actions. Effective delegation and managerial skills could really help, but AY presents himself as more of a charismatic individualist, and i dont think he could tolerate the mind numbing nature of dealing with professional politicians and bureaucrats, or negotiating/ game playing with Congress. He'd quickly "go rogue" just like DT. I th8nk hes got a ton to offer, in terms of new vision and changing the political landscape, i hope he sticks around, but his first big job should not be the presidency, and should be outside of the private sector.
