Hi all! I was just curious what people think about a person who lies about their age?

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

I've been lucky...call it good genes, and/or being born first in a group of many bros and sis...but looking young has actually hurt me, more than helped. Lying about one's age? Maybe it depends on who's asking them; a job interview? a date/potential mate? If the real date is discoverable you're just setting yourself up to be labeled a deep, chronic liar.

I cheat and buy the "breads in a box" - but having said that - Yeast is a must for the crust....it just aint the same without a yeast crust. Then you put on top whatever you like. I learned there's such a thing as too much sauce...a slice will get "drippy". Toppings? Look in your refrigerator door...near the bottom. That jar of weird things you bought and tried...and still can't pronounce? Use them...

What's the World's Largest Dinosaur?

Robecology comments on Jan 27, 2019:

Good, detailed studies. As a science teacher (45 years, retired) who dabled in Paleo-environments, I'm impressed with the drilling and core studies being done. An interesting fact about Dino evolution; most of the time they were on earth, it was so hot that it's likely that there was no snow or ice anywhere. They lived in very high temp areas...which explains their relatively "naked/nude" lack of feathers or fur...and their natural mobility (having little control over homeostasis - they were not considered "warm-blooded" but depended on the hot environment). Toward their end....which, as the article suggests, might have been as long as 10,000 years - it got colder, as more volcanc ash rose and, along with the increased CO2, the ash blocked a lot of sunlight. It was then that small, furry mammals evolved....and it was a good thing, for us, that they did. Otherwise, we'd have green skin, cold blood, slit-shaped pupils, and our young would be hatched....in other words....intelligent reptilia could have evolved,,, ,,,and we would actually welcome global warming!

Exercise or alcohol? ??

Robecology comments on Jan 26, 2019:

Exercise is good..but that's a few minutes to an hour once a day. We eat 3-6 times a day. Diet is far more important. Let hunger work for you. All animals but humans deal with it daily. We need hunger for longevity. When you feel it, know that your body is kicking in enzymes to dissolve and shrink your fat cells (you actually never lose fat cells...they just get smaller or larger).

Brown the garlic and onion. Pressure cook the potatoes...or to avoid the starch - pass on them. Brown the Kielbasa first and drain off the fat. Frozen veggies are good, fresh veggies are great. Spice it up, add some pepper and oregano. Try beans, or lentils instead of potatoes; far more protein.

She never said this. She pointed out a study done by many scientists that suggest that if we don't tighten regulations faster world wide, then the warming might be "unstoppable"....which, if you look at the science and the laws...is a very real possibility. Not a probability - a possibility. With the growth of EV's, Solar, wind, and ocean current/tidal energy (job explosions in these areas) I'm optimistic that we can turn the corner on it.

Let's admit it. We need tighter, tougher regulations. Even the NRA said so. We just don't need anyone suggesting "taking away" guns. Regulate ammo. Offer gun damage insurance; accidental and intentional. Offer discounts for licenses and/or insurance if training is proven. Hire marksman or better vets for training programs. We can, and should, make gun ownership more responsible. This could put many vets to work...and make our gun death numbers drop.

There's been many opportunities for the esteemed medical professionals of America to step forward and label Trump a "Psychopath" or Sociopath, or even Xenophobe....but none have done so. I'm beginning to think his behavior is a socially acceptable condition. ....but I have a clue....taken from an analysis of many of the #Religulous on the planet; - he suffers a complex, rather newly diagnosed delusion syndrome; it's called the "Dunning-Kruger" effect. -it's not so debilitating that it takes him out of society (I'm sorry to say) but it fits right in there with the religious folk you know, and that "know-it-all" in school who flunked out and blamed his teachers...you know them.

Do you believe religion will die out in the future?

Robecology comments on Jan 23, 2019:

If you search "World education level, graph, data" you find that knowledge is growing...and it isn't just a straight line rise....it's parabolic (curving upwards)....so the pace of education is picking up. ...and I firmly believe that it's happening just in time. -us Demographers know that the key to controlling population is education. A demographic transition starts when a portion of the world develops an ability to grow; whether it's a change in the overall health, an infusion of technology, a new way to get water, etc...a DT starts when any region starts an explosive, parabolic-curve growth in population. When does that growth level off? Yep...you guessed it...when education level within that area rises. Smarter people have fewer kids. -and with that rise in education comes the death of myths, and the growth of morality for the sake of survival...not because some myth "told them to behave". So I'm optimistic. I see us reaching ZPG soon....and s serious decline in Religion as well.

We have to stop dismissing or joking about "pot dangers". The illegality of it makes a lot of users paranoid. It makes your pulse speed up and changes your heartbeat pattern....I was high, decades ago... when I went for an EKG and the doc recommended surgery.....until I confessed. If folks die from stroke or heart attack "precipitated" by a good buzz - do you honestly think they'd put "cannabis overdose" or even "cannabis use" on the death certificate? ...but this does make an argument for legalization. If pot "overdose" was a medical issue; then victims wouldn't be afraid to seek help. Perhaps there'd be less "overdose" if it were regulated...if you knew it wasn't contaminated...if you knew "the dose"...which legalization would encourage. ...and yes...there are "victims"...

Robecology comments on Jan 21, 2019:

Masculinity went hand and hand with being #religulous. With Religious, it almost seems to be part of it; males lead,. males dominate, males control. We all know the dominant role of priests and the submissive roles of nuns. We all know it was males who wrote all the biblical verses. So for the #religulous, I can see their view as considering masculinity "under attack"...for those of us who've been "liberated" in to the world of agnostic thinking - being an equal partner works fine for us. The #religulous have been suffering a sort of mass delusional syndrome. We have to empathize and take them by the hand. Be patient with your misled 'masculine" buddies.

We have another prude here people!! Two memes of mine this morning have been denied.

Give us a hint...not about "who" but about what the topics of your memes were. The point is to make sure you know the community standards, not who's doing the judging.

If you're snowed in, cold, think about this ..?
