I hear over and over how people are supposedly innately "good" and decent and yet every singles day there are myriad stories that show just the opposite. There's a joke about musicians (I am one) only being able to count to 4. The number of people I trust totals less than that. I not only have ...

Triphid replies on Feb 7, 2022:

That cannot be correct re-musicians since there ARE 8 beats to a bar, 8 notes to an octave NOT merely 4. Therefore Musicians can count beyond 4 and written and played music PROVES it to be so.

1) I posted something as a bit of humour under the wordings of "for Adults Only" and it then MYSTERIOUSLY vanished without a trace in a matter of minutes. No explanation, not a word just Whoosh and it is gone and YET there is a GROUP on here that, and TRUST me I am NOT complaining btw, that exhibits nudes and bare boobs like, excuse the expression, a Candy Store exhibits its wares. 2) we have an Admin,, somewhat recently elevated to the position from who knows where and who it may be, that NEVER replies/responds to message sent to him/her, WHY, 3) this Site has a "Community Senate" that according to its remit is SUPPOSED to be involved in the running and future EVOLUTION of this Site but we are IGNORED completely even when it comes to elevating a a NEW Admin, which, IF the Originator TRULY considered US to Adults and WANTED us as involved in the Sites as much as possible, would have given us the RIGHT to vote and thus ELECT each Admin as the need arose would/he/she have not? 4) or are we MERELY children in the Originator's little Cyber Game, the Pawns of his/her Cyber Chess Board, are we going to remain Pawns or we going to RECLAIM our selves and get what the Originator PROMISED from the START?

A fine example of Human Innovative Ingenuity. LOL.

Either that OR, your, imo, penchant for being an Attention Whore has gotten so out of control that you no longer can see ANYTHING other than a desperate need to be noticed and therefore will post any iota of absolute drivel to sell yourself to gain that cheap thrill of getting noticed.

Triphid replies on Feb 4, 2022:

Nice to see that happening over your way, shame that the Catholic Church, aka St. Vincent De Paul, here would NOT take a leaf or three from their book. St. Vincent De Paul here, colloquially known as St. Vinnies, runs a Meal Centre AND an Op-Shop. At their Op-shop they receive donations of clothing, etc, 100% FREE, they then 'process' them, throw away the things THEY deem to be either unsaleable/unprofitable for the shop and send them to the Rubbish Tip. Those they keep, they sell at approx. 5-10% BELOW MARKET Price and do NOT permit the homeless or anyone else BUT Catholics to use a system of Lay-Buy, instead they MUST pay up-front or get nothing. Then, next door, is their Meal Centre where a meal of watery soup ( very insipid and watery I might add as I tried it once just see what they were offering to those in need ) a small to between small and middling main meal, mostly of a very small portion of meat ( mainly minced meat, either beef or mutton,) well boiled to excess vegetables and going on the consistence, etc, and taste of them, I'd hazard a guess that they ARE tinned vegetables that have gone well past their sell by dates in stores, the serving is approx. the amount of 1 Dessert spoonful, a potato, also boiled to death along with its very, very small cousins who are still not ready to leave the nursery imo, and a gravy that would better off being passed off as a soup rather than the excuse for a soup that you get at the start, Oh and 1 small bread roll, maybe a little smaller than a cup-cake in size. For that 'repast' and banquet (??) your are EXPECTED to hand over $12.50, still and endure a 30 minute episode of Prayers INCLUDING 2, TWO, rounds of saying Grace, a Sermon delivered whilst you eat which is then followed by a cup of either very weak and cheap INSTANT coffee or the same as Tea and yet another Prayer BEFORE you leave and are expected to drop some money into a box by the door on your way out. Approx. 98+% of their meat and grocery items for these 'repasts' are supplied to them via 2, TWO, locally owned and operated Supermarkets who's owners, get this, are very staunch and devout Catholics as well.

Oh, and PLUS for YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT, once an actual pregnancy begins the female body sets about forming a MUCOUS PLUG in the Cervix to BLOCK the entry of anything entering NORMALLY from the outside just as it does between a woman's Menstrual cycles and that temporary plug ONLY softens and disappears when she in her MOST fertile of stages during each cycle.

@Normanbites The rate of Murders you mentioned were they listed as per METHOD of Killing, i.e. as in Shot, Stabbed, Bashed, etc, etc, and whether or not they associated with acts of Organised Crime or Terrorism, etc. Btw, FYI AUSTRALIA is a Nation a COUNTRY made of 6, SIX, separates STATES and 2 Territories, those being New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and the Territories are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. The Australian Population stands at approx. 25, TWENTY FIVE, MILLION whereas the Population of the U.S.A. is at least QUADRUPLE and more than that of Australia, therefore to be 100% accurate you would be to apply a lot more mathematical calculation PLUS STATE you U.S. percentage on a NATIONAL basis rather than simply by the basis of the State in which you reside. Btw, a 0.3 less deaths by killings is a far, far better thing than a 0.3% RISE as the difference between our NATIONAL Statistics and the Statistics of your SINGLE State amongst %0 States that make up the U.S.A. IF you were to multiply your State Stats by the %0, the NUMBER of States in the U.S. I think the result may well open up your closed/squinted eyes.

This was what I had run across today.

The one on the left appears to be a conglomerate, or granite. I can't tell from the photo. Igneous rocks, like, granite are not fossils. Conglomerates can be compromised of fossils, but are not a single fossil. Sorry, if that disappoints. The other rock might be a fossilized object. Keep in ...

Triphid replies on Jan 30, 2022:

@azzow2 Then wtf did you open in the first place? Had it been a fossil you would have ruined its value immediately and irrevocably as well.

This was what I had run across today.

Not sure if they're the same specimen. The one on the left looks like conglomerate.

Triphid replies on Jan 30, 2022:

@azzow2 NOT a fossil nor a fossilized egg either I'm sorry to say.

This was what I had run across today.

@azzow2 So you decided to open it up for yourself, IF that had been a fossil find then its scientific value would dropped immediately to near ZERO.

@BufftonBeotch The Trojan War was fought over, according to Homer, Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, taking Helen, wife of King Menelaus, back to Troy with him. Hence the sayings of " The face that launched a thousand ships" and " Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."

Triphid replies on Jan 30, 2022:

@BufftonBeotch No, Rome went to War with Egypt because of few main things historically, 1) the Grain shortage was creating a famine in Rome itself and the at made Octavian Caesar look bad (worse actually) in the eyes of the Roman citizens, 2) Marc Antony rejected Octavian's ( his lawful wife) in favour of Cleopatra, 3) the dissolution of the Octavian/Antony?Lepidus Triumvirate was a major part of Octavian's PLAN to gain total power in Rome and make himself Emperor. 3) Cleopatra's son by Julius Caesar, Caesarion, was coming of age and COULD pose a great threat to Octavian's plans hence Caesarion had to be eliminated.

@Normanbites 1) How can anyone forget that I live and enjoy living in relatively peace, violence free nation when you are stuck in a nation of war-mongering, Wannabe Emperors and Dictators, 2) the availability of firearms is NOT threat but the FREE and EASY access to them is the GREAT Threat imo, since GUNS on their OWN do NOT kill it IS the person/s FIRING them that does the KILLING is it not?, 3) I wish ALL Americans the very best of luck with changing the 200 + plus year old system of Greed, Hatred, Xenophobia, Racism,, Paranoia and Economic Screw ups, BUT sadly that will NOT happen UNLESS you have yet another Revolutionary Civil War imo, and no-one wants to see that happen.

Totally agree, he's been out here for 10 years now, plenty have TRIED to teach about the way things are out here but his responses are always the same, " I grew up on the coast, I know how to drive on the beaches, I know all about living in the country because I've spent my childhood on a hobby farms on my school holidays, I am a Stone Mason and I know everything." I guess there is something very important around here that he does not know, He is the neighbourhood fool and the neighbourhood joke as well.
