Nice to know someone missed me, thank you. The most tedious and boring weeks of my life with my left arm out of action I'd have to say. Thankfully a few good friends came to the fore and made certain I wasn't stuck with eating out of tin cans, etc., even nicer to be cooking my own meals again though. Still NOT smoking, still learning to enjoy the freshness of everything and saving money nicely, well when I don't buy things that I've always wanted/needed but couldn't afford that is, Did learn that a local Asian Restaurant did home deliveries of meals though, made quite a welcome change to the usual menu and cuisine around the house.

Triphid replies on Aug 19, 2021:

@powder And what precisely do you have say now about th need for lockdowns, etc, since C.19 variant D is running wild through the Greater Sydney region, Queensland, Victoria and parts of S.A. and the N.T.? Here in the Far Western Region of New South Wales WE stood firm and together since day 1 of the C.19 Pandemic and kept our region Covid free UNTIL last Friday when some dumb, stupid, self-centred, should have known far, far better, arrogant Indigenous Health-worker at the Maari Maa Aboriginal Health Clinic here in Broken Hill DECIDED to attend a Funeral in Wilcannia on Saturday and return with Covid symptoms then attend work on Monday, go to a nearby Cafe/Dining Business and start spreading the infection around town. Nearly 2 years of hard graft and Community working together has now gone down the tubes thanks to this selfish bitch, everyone is now in full lockdown, parents of school age children are fearful because this variant DOES impact upon EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY children from approx. 10-12 years and younger and it HITS HARD, Fast and VERY NASTY as well.

@rainmanjr "I find most of human affairs to be trite and banal but not my own." Now, speaking here as a Highly respected and well Qualified Psychologist I'd say that kind of a statement/comment was to be expected BUT only from the most narcissistic of personalities possible. As your hypothesis, which the impression I glean from your comment in reference to behaviour, etc, I would correct IF I were talking to someone not so Narcissistic as I, imo, feel you may well be.

Triphid replies on Jun 26, 2021:

@powder As do I as well btw. ALL Isolation Rules/Regulations NEED to take into account, imo, the NEEDS, etc, for Access to Medical Facilities as per requirements and necessities PLUS the fastest, closest and BEST available Treatments needed and the distances, etc, needed to be travelled whether in Emergencies or for Regular and necessary Treatments, etc. Since Australia was turned from a group of very separate States to a Federation of States in the early 20th Century I tend to think that there was little or no forethought, planning, etc, etc, involved whilst doing so and absolutely NO-ONE at that time could have even had the slightest inkling of a pandemic as we are experiencing today. Yes, under Federation the States are viewed as Separate Entities and most unfortunately imo, since that does NOTHING to actually UNITE the Populace as being Australian Peoples one and all. we need to RWALKISE that we ARE ONE People, living in ONE Country and we should act and behave as One Peoples not a mass of squabbling toddlers arguing over a few little toys in a playground. Imo, IF we do not soon wake up to ourselves we WILL soon begin the swift slide down the road to where the U.S. is today.

Triphid replies on Jun 26, 2021:

@powder The original, NOTE Original, outbreaks arose BEFORE Quarantine Rules were instigated, hence the outbreak was already well and TRULY underway or is that also a bit beyond your capacity for comprehension as well? Yes, there have been lapses in the Quarantine Rules, etc, BUT they are DUE not to the Governments but to THOSE whom were CNTRACTED to oversee the operations of the Quarantine Facilities, I>E> the PRIVATE Contractors and the Army in some cases, fyi. When there IS an Epidemic/Pandemic, since this C-19 is the FIRST ever PANDEMIC btw, NORMAL practice is to ISOLATE the infected/affected at the nearest available and securable FACILITIES as possible SINCE transporting them to more distant locales INCREASES the risks of spreading the infection further at an exponential rate. Surely, even one such as yourself can REALISE that? Yes, am fully aware of the Gender of the QLD Premier just as I am aware that Emperor El ScumMo has also 'granted' himself exemption to attend the Olympics Opening in Nippon-land as well.

Speaking for myself, I always celebrated this so-called Christian Festival as it was originally, the Ancient Roman Festival of Gift Giving, Saturnalia, with my daughter. Now I do the same for my nephew, Henry, and try to teach him that it IS the giving of gifts accompanied by love that the Festival is REALLY about and NOT the celebration of some completely unfounded, mythical Birth that never happened.

Triphid replies on Jun 26, 2021:

@powder Without the closing of International Borders and State Borders when there are breakouts in the larger populated areas, which btw, is how most Infective agents spread so quickly, i.e. the closer packed the population the faster the spread, that's MEDICAL Logic btw, OUR Infection rates and subsequent Death Tolls would have been much, much higher, or is that far too technical for you to comprehend perhaps? Out here in Broken Hill, we are all very fortunate, so far, that we are ISOLATED by distance, to some extent, from the high population areas of the coasts around the nation. Yes, it has, so far, kept us safe but for how much longer given the regular in-flux of Tourists from Victoria, Queensland and Crow-Eater country (.S.A.) no-one knows for certain. In my honest opinion, this "Garth" did NOT give El Presidente permission to attend the Olympics in Nippon-land, he gives himself all the permissions he needs, after all, he sees himself, imo, as the God-given Emperor of Australia does he not?

Gas cylinder as the Boiler and a 240 volt Generator with a home-made Steam Turbine attached to drive the Generator. And ALL this by using the electricity straight from the Power Grid to boil the water to make the steam to produce electricity FREE of Charge.

What replaces preaching?

indirect76 comments on Jun 23, 2021:

Does it need replacing?

Triphid replies on Jun 24, 2021:

@indirect76 Please allow me to add my 2 cents worth here. Imo, the answer is a DEFINITE YES, because for the Human Race to advance both socially and scientifically to where it should have already arrived by now Religions, religious Preaching/teaching, Indoctrination/s, etc, etc, need to be CURTAILED either completely or to the level that their influences are almost non-existent. For example, Stem cell research has shown that it has the great possibilities for saving lives from cancers, etc, etc, as well as the possibilities of actually growing new organs, such as hearts, etc, that are specific to the patient/s, BUT religions scream and cry crocodile tears every time when Stem cell Research gets a mention BECAUSE, in their tiny little, deluded minds the Scientists are either, A) Trying to play or be God, B) the Stem cells are taken from either aborted fetuses or those who were miscarried ( which btw, most are not, they usually are harvested from the Placentas, etc, after the baby has been born, though some stem cells are derived from test-tube fertilisations and ALWAYS done with the EXPRESSED permission of the donors, C) " It goes against Gods great and mystical plan" is their usual fall-back cry. I assume and suppose that NONE of these Cry-baby Faithfools have EVER sat at the bed-side of their child while it is dying slowly, painfully and terribly from cancer, because IF they had they would soon change their tune imo.

The Garbage were needed to dispose of the 7 layers of clothing, sans underwear of course, she was wearing, she arrived weighing 89 kilos and came out of the bathroom, clean and dressed weighing 62.3 kilos.

Triphid replies on Jun 22, 2021:

@GipsyOfNewSpain Funny enough, yes I have but that applies to the attire as worn by customers/patrons entering or availing themselves of the service/s offered in a place. As to a potential customer enquiring as to the baking of a specific item from a Bakery then , logically, as it IS a Bakery then its role is to Provide and sell what the customer requests NOT to push their agenda re-religious beliefs, etc. We have in our town, a Sufi Bakery run by members of the Sufi belief system of Islam, yes they make and sell what is normally consumed in the Sufi culture, they also make and sell other products that do NOT come from the Sufi culture, Sourdough Bread, Danish, French Breadsticks, etc, etc, for example, BUT they DO NOT press upon their customers their beliefs, etc, quite the opposite in fact. Perhaps that may well be because Australians, for the most part, are far more open-minded than others, Americans for example.

Maybe the trans person should have kept their mouth shut about being trans.

Why should he/she have done so?

Shouldn't be his choice what or who he serves? It is his Bakery, right? Isn't that what freedom is?

Legally when one opens up a business to SERVE the Public it becomes a place of Public Business even though the Proprietor/Owner may hold either a Lease or the Title deeds, it IS still a Business that CLAIMS it will serve the Public AND are NOT Trans-people/L.G.B.T.Q.i. people also member s of the PUBLIC or has rampant Bigotry determined that they are a SUB-Species or something even less?

Unfortunately not surprised

And yet making Juneteenth a Federal Holiday was nearly unanimous except for 14 outliers.

Why, the Juneteenth bit when it already had a number of known titles to begin with?

Unfortunately not surprised

I just found a good explanation of C.R.T. if anyone's curious; It can be set up as a computer slide show. Good research by a fellow teacher-friend.

@JackPedigo I too agree with you on your comment. I have personally copped the 'racist shit' from just as many with dark/darker coloured skins as I have from either Europeans, Asians, etc, etc, and FOR ABSOLUTELY NO reason what-so-ever. The ideology of 'Racism,' imo, stems from a few MAIN sources and those being as follows, 1)the Main and Prime source of them all being the Christian Bible and its blatant, inherent racist ideologies, 2) the continual, endless spreading of the Jingoist beliefs that EVERYNE whose skin is not WHITE is a sub-species of Human and NOT deserving of either respect or consideration, 3) the 'Political mileage' to be gained by these so-called ' Bleeding Liberals' who rake in the BIG dollars whilst sitting back in relative safety as they stir the pot and keep their pristine noses clean, 4) The Politicians who 'ride the backs of the 'Race Equality waves' and gain popularity to suit THEIR agendas and then do Sweet F*#* All about the problem ONCE they've reach their objective/s in their careers, and lastly but by no means least of all, 5) the Media Barons who make their fortunes from broadcasting Racist leaning articles, etc, etc, they are just a GUILT as anyone else, perhaps even more so BECAUSE, just maybe, in their own ways THEY are Promoting it, condoning it and fostering it so it may continue to boost their bottom line, finances-wise. When one truly sits back and thinks deeply about, this Racism Rioting, etc, etc, is very similar to how the Media, etc, treat Serial Killings, Arsons, Mass Shootings, Vandalism, etc, etc. In its own way IS IT not merely PROMOTING those horrible things and in doing so, saying to those who are less than 'socially-minded and moral amongst us all that such abhorrent behaviours are okay because "you WILL get your 5 or 10 minutes of Fame and you will no longer be just another person very few will know or remember." As a qualified and respected Psychologist I see how this kind of encouragement, twisted as it REALLY is, works its wonders on the minds of some, it is similar to, for example, trying to discourage a dog from barking at nothing by shouting at it. Over time, that action has the entirely OPPOSITE effect, instead of teaching the dog NOT to bark continuously, IT encourages the dog to bark BECAUSE the dg gets YOUR attention and thereby see that as it being rewarded for the barking. We humans might like to THINK we are more intelligent than dogs, etc, BUT our minds still work on the Reward for Good, Punishment for Wrong basis that is inherent in most other animals.

Interesting piece of information right here if indeed, it is true.

A lot of Christians cite the historian Josephus as "proof" that he existed. The problem with that is that the writings that they cite have proven to be fake.

@kiramea No need to apologise my friend, let the Christfool Apologetics do that instead, they are Experts at it, are they not?

They are vaccines. You are making an issue that is of no concern.

@wordywalt I'm not certain as to how those of you in the United States of Absurdity view, describe, understand, etc, etc, what is Demeaning ,Derogatory, abusive ( verbally or otherwise) but it most assured is not viewed that way here in Australia where we are, imo, oft times more educated in literacy, grammar and things of a similar nature than, imo, you appear to be. Also and unlike Americans we DO NOT seek out Legal Litigations at the mere drop of a hat so to speak, we never have and, hopefully, never will stoop so low imo.

The Roman occupiers of that entire region were meticulous record keepers. If there had been anyone named Jesus of Nazareth, Bethlehem, or any of the other towns and settlements in the region, who were to have caused the Romans that much trouble, there would have been a mention of it somewhere. ...
