"Going Out" does have a challenge to it these days. Let me give you a guy's perspective. ...First let me I apologize on behalf of any men who ASSumed you wanted to be grabbed, cat-called...too many of us just stand back and admire cutie-beauties who enter bars... ...but that gets us no "contact"...so those who touch and catcall are simply reaching out...hoping you're interested and will respond...but if you're not "lit" (high, buzzed, drunk) then you're likely to offend...or be offended. Yes; The bars are loud (and used to be smoky up until the 80's-90's). Yes; The public dating scene isn't nearly as nice as it used to be. IYes; t's more like a "rite" or partnership-seeking ritual that the very young must experience. Yes; The alcohol does lend to the "looseness" of it all... The guy strategy is - if you are rude, you make contact. If you stand back and are "nice" you go home empty handed. The woman strategy seems to be if you're tolerant of the rudeness you make contact. If not - you go home empty handed. On line dating came along just in time, IMO...it allows you to see, get to know, and become familiar with potential partners before the public "rite" is attended. So your commitment to date with a mutual interest that's already established is wise, and mature...Use A.com to meet fellow Agnostics in your neighborhood... But remember; going "out" to the "bar scene" even with a "mutual-interest-friend" is still a form of the " partnership-seeking ritual" of the young....

Robecology comments on Jun 1, 2019:

No; I honestly don't see the hypocrisy of being intensely concerned about conservation ecology, yet also being a meat eater. Several reasons; #1 You don't have to eat "high" on the food chain to have a diet that includes meat. You can use more fish and birds (chicken) and fewer hooved animals (beef, sheep, pork). Almost all of the meat available today is sustainable, not endangered nor threatened. #2. There's lots of research going on to make easy-to-grow insects, yeast, and other non-animal sources in to a food powder that's the main ingredient in "impossible-burgers"...https://www.mygenefood.com/i-ate-an-impossible-burger-wish-i-hadnt/ #3. Plastics are also going through changes. Many are now plant-based. Many now have a much faster decomposition built in to their molecular structure. They're thinner...even the caps are smaller. #4. Animal gas and wastes account for only 9% of greenhouse gases. see this; https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/styles/medium/public/2019-04/total-ghg-2019.jpg #5. The two biggest factors that affects your carbon footprint is your family size choice and your primary car choice. https://www.footprintcalculator.org People- couples who are child-free and drive an E.V. have a far smaller Eco footprint - - - - - - - - - - - If you're serious about reducing emissions, changing your diet is not too effective. Restoring, Renewing, Reusing, and Recycling is effective. Family planning is effective. Car choice is effective. Lifestyle changes with plastics, avoiding balloon use, etc is far more effective than eating lower on the food chain (more vegan, less/no meat).

Robecology comments on Jun 1, 2019:

From the article .... "But understand if you want to change (and I am encouraging change where needed) that you go about a systematic approach understanding what you want to change, getting very clear about the specific thing you want to change." "Perhaps the thing is, “I no longer want to experience anxiety when I’m speaking publicly.” "This thing isn’t just going to go away. " "You’ve got to be methodical, scientific, about how you change behaviour, because you’re up against your biology." Good recommendations - IMO.... So in a nutshell; 1.Be specific 2. Take on/tackle one specific thing at a time. 3. Be methodical. Follow the recommended steps. Good advice; the problem is most will make excuses, not read the entire article, and wallow in their suffering. Read the many excuses from the responders, below. "it's often hard" or "I can't sustain" Thanks for sharing this; but too many "aren't ready" to heal themselves; IMO.

Of all the groups on Agnostic, I trust the honesty of the Conservatives and the Republicans the least. Remember; a "pillar of foundation" for both is a **"belief in God".**... So I'd take what they say with a grain fo salt... **I tried joining and debating **in both groups; and I got hate-filled, rude responses - and then I was blocked out. But in my opinion, they're trying to minimize what most of us know is true; ....that **Russian groups hacked in to our social media** ...that the Russian people are generally a sad, poor, and struggling group; but their leadership is still quite corrupt and greedy. and certain groups of technically savvy people who love Putin worked diligently to follow the lead of their leader and support Trump's win and discourage Clinton's. ...they came close to proving that these Russians (again - not all) had significant affects on our 2016 election....but many "leads" were lost. There's been many **unexplained deaths** for those connected with the Steele Dossier on Trump ( I'm attaching a copy; worth the read - 35 pages long!). ...if more of the Steele Dossier was proven true, then Trump's presidency would have been annulled. - - - - - - - - - - - The evidence of their tapping in to our social media was found in part because they worked so feverishly they got sloppy and some of our counter espionage agents picked it up.

Kansas researchers? Here is what they say about human evolution. [bigthink.com]

Robecology comments on May 30, 2019:

It makes sense that not only were there much more signs of Carbonisation (burning) of vast areas during man's evolution due to the increased lighting during those times; but forest fires had to have been much larger in our ancient past. Consider this; if a forest fire started...it's very likely that whole regions - perhaps even a whole continent - had their forests "Carbonized" or reduced to charcoal. And thus; if there was a series of huge fires then many of our tree-dwelling relatives transitioned to 2-legged mobility....and two legged mobility was favored to survive running away from fires better! There were no roads. There were no vast areas cleared for development. So it was much easier for a forest fire to spread, covering vast regions. ...and these events might have accelerated the bi-pedalization (getting around on 2 feet) of our ancestors!

False parallel. We need our blood to get a good "rusting"....to change the O2 deficient "blueish" Hemoglobin (inside Red blood cells) to a bright rusty red in order to carry that O2 to our body cells. That's why our "veins" are bluish in color...they carry the O2 deficient RBC's back to the heart and lung for another dose. But this form of iron is not pure (not "elemental" iron); so it has no magnetic properties. Now; technically "oxidation" of our cells helps them work...but also helps them "age". They sell "anti-oxidants" for a reason...and if we get a healthy dose of them (vitamin E, for example) we're minizing the "oxidation" of our body cells while maximizing the energy output. So either make sure your diet is rich in anti-oxidants, or take a good vitamin....it's insurance against aging too fast. https://www.quora.com/If-the-blood-in-our-body-contains-iron-why-doesnt-it-rust Interesting side note; Hemoglobin and Chlorophyll are structurally identical; but the metal compound in Chorophyll is magnesium.

The main reason why we're there; The Opium Poppy. Opium. Opioids. Heroin. 80% from Afghanistan. 20% from Mexico, China, and other sources. That's why we stay there. The United States is grappling with one of its worst-ever drug crises. More than nine hundred people a week die from opioid-related overdoses, and some experts say the death toll may not peak for years. Meanwhile, millions more Americans suffer from opioid addiction. "... most of the world’s heroin comes from Afghanistan..." https://cfrd8-files.cfr.org/sites/default/files/styles/large_xl/public/image/2017/10/Global%20Heroin%20Flows.png

Guten Morgen :) After a pretty good night's sleep, I'm ready to take on the day, which I am sure ...

I prepped a simple will a few years ago...then made the mistake of going to another lawyer who made a "revokable trust" which is ten times more complicated. I'm not sure I did the right thing....I can barely comprehend what's written...

I've never really done the dirty talk thing.

You're in the right place. Outspoken guys will "laugh" - but they're here for the same thing. Watch your mail folder...be clear and detailed with your bio and post plenty of pics...earn the trust of the ladies and they will come...in more ways than one...

They really think that "greed" motivated the Dinosaur fossil workers to create the models and images in hundreds, if not thousands of museums world wide? I know of many wealthy Fossil fuel magnates, Train developers, Weapons makers, Real Estate developers...but I don't know a single wealthy Museum curator nor paleontologist...

Hi all .

Robecology comments on May 29, 2019:

Interesting. I went for my first long walk in over a month...and my feet are up....and I'm exhausted. My son and daughter in law just had an "au pair" quit on them...so they needed someone to watch the 3 year old...so grandpa to the rescue! That little fella wore me out!

It's interesting...but I'm sorry; his accent makes it hard to follow. It's obviously edited to move quickly...perhaps too quickly for me? The story of Tholins is fascinating. I hope more scientists take this up; it was a good presentation; it just needs to be polished.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tholin

Articulate, high paced, informative. Good one! My only complaint is that he likes his camera time; a more self-less scientist would show us more data and images.

Hell no. I won't even buy the pricey coffees from any of the coffee shops. It's so much easier and far cheaper to brew your own. It's not hard, nor complicated. Are people that lazy that they have to pay many dollars per cup to go? Sad.

Gun Violence is Not Okay!

Robecology comments on May 28, 2019:

I will always share this video. It sums up the whole issue; and gives us direction from a great former president. The key, he says late in the video, is treating gun use like car use. Demand licensing. Demand training. Demand insurance. Demand age restrictions. No one wants to take away your guns. Everyone wants responsible gun ownership and use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6imFvSua3Kg

I always suspected as much

Please; reflect on someone you knew that lost his life in service to this nation. I recall Heinz Alhmeyer. A fellow swimmer on my team in college; joined, fought, earned a purple heart...died at age 23...for an unjust war. https://www.weremember.com/heinz-ahlmeyer/9l9m/memories
