Here's the bigger photo of who I guess is the victim. Maybe German speakers can help with the photo note. Vier Männer schlugen zu: Studentin am Westbahnhof überfallen: "Keiner half mir" | www.heute.at Yes, so someone looking like her is in huge numbers in shopping malls, and when the bars let out, etc., and a woman wears what she wants, etc. PC checklist A-OK. Question: If you were a parent in say the 1950's or early 60's, or maybe just anytime, would you be thinking, especially at night, whether you said it aloud or not "You're not going out of this house dressed like that."

I just watched this sub link: Stephen Crothers: Why Black Holes Don’t Exist That is really good, at first pass seems solid math and physics. It doesn't make claims to know reality, but rather focuses on how claims by Einstein and others have serious weak spots seemingly patched by wishful thinking. Also noted in passing is that the very first suggestions for what we now call Big Bang came from a Catholic priest trying to reconcile science and religion.

I have a trouble spot between two upper back teeth, caused by normal bone loss with age. Geometry has created a small place that wants to trap small bits of food, maybe a spice flake or fruit skin. The upshot is that I constantly use those little dental brushes to clean trapped food from between them. Mostly it’s a non-issue. Once in awhile, something will get trapped deep enough that it inflames a bit, which traps it more. Physical means of removal might work, but often don’t, and must be limited or it will cause more inflammation. I found that swishing the trouble spot with various small amounts of liquid helps, such as water, tea, coffee, and they vary in effectiveness. Tea for example has lower viscosity, gets in there better, and is a drying agent too. What is most interesting is red wine. (I’m not advocating drunkenness, only a number of small sips with no air.) It creates a sustained sort of mucous from that spot. Other teeth will do this once a little bit, then stop. The trouble area keeps it up. I suspect that it’s making a bacterial matrix substance suddenly hydrophilic, which then vastly swells up. It removes quite well and I suspect it’s removing bacteria with it. Maybe it’s the alcohol, or something else in wine. But the effect is dramatic. If I were to recommend a daily dental action, I'd say swish with small amounts of red wine.

Youzer, what do you observe? AS to Van Damme, I really liked the movie Legionnaire, and observed a battle scene where one Legionnaire is shown firing a rifle in two quick close up camera shots. In one of the quick cuts, the bolt handle is pointing upwards, not to the side or down, and that's no way to fire a rifle. I'm amazed that the director or actors or anybody didn't catch that during filming.

The "One" is supremacist.

If I rattled my brain I might think of some, but I was an early reader, and read my own much of the time. The one story that stands out, as limited as I can recall, is "Little Black Sambo" and you may guess at the name that it was in the sixties-seventies a suppressed story, didn't exist anymore, 'cause it was about a black kid. (I search to find he's Indian.) As I recall, the black kid outwitted, or just was lucky, in turning a tiger, threatening to eat Sambo, into butter, by making the tiger run in endless circles until it started to melt. I need to look that up. I note that it's a suppressed story, 'cause, like, ya' know, it was a black kid! Never mind the kid survived a tiger, I'd think that would be a good lesson. Ah, I looked it up. Little Black Sambo - Full Text His folks were named Mumbo and Jumbo, and Sambo was provided with very fine clothing, and went for a walk in the forest, where he was accosted by one tiger after another. He bribed each tiger with part of his fine clothing, and each tiger felt it was then the grandest tiger of all, until Sambo ran out of bribes. The tigers then disputed who was the grandest, and discarding the clothes, tore into each other. They chased each other around a tree until they turned into butter (ghi), which was collected in a big brass pot, and used to make lots of pancakes for the family that night. Sambo got his clothes back. Darned if I see anything racist. Banned From American Bookshelves: The Story Of Little Black Sambo | Long Island Book Collectors: The values taught by The Story of Little Black Sambo are vitally important for the development of children in any society at any time, and LBS (as it will be referred to in the content of this article) is rarely matched in content or style by most other children’s stories, especially those of the late nineteenth century when Helen Bannerman wrote it for her children. It stresses that bullying and greed (the tigers) accomplish nothing in the long run and that handling anxiety and stress calmly and positively with negotiation (Sambo) wins out in the end. Those who work with children find that these concepts are invaluable for teaching today’s kids how to deal with their world, with many educational programs being devised recently to do just that. This is probably why Little Black Sambo, by that or any other name, (Sam or Babaji, names used in modern versions) will continue to survive. And now I'm hungry.

Yes !

No. Just whatever else I was already doing towards a healthy diet.

I had hairline cracks across my two upper front teeth from trauma. With my fingernail I could feel two tiny ditch shapes going across. Over several months, they filled in. Almost no trace now, a few years later. That told me beyond doubt that teeth can heal, at least some.

My father was one of the total of two parasitologists with the US Army in WW2 Pacific theater, and learned quite a bit of miscellaneous information. (I personally assume this low number to be another expression of the interwar desire to think a military isn't really needed and can be underfunded.) I don't know all the locations, so I'll call this generalized South Pacific islands. (To say that he worked in rear areas is true both militarily and anatomically. My father and one assistant, and no refrigeration, examined stool samples from I think an entire US Army division, 81st or 92nd, something like that. They always had the mess hall to themselves.) He told me that in the hot humid climate, the natives wore little clothing, and had healthy skin. Missionaries came onto the scene, told them they were immodest (and no, they weren't behaving like so many drunken fools), and needed to wear more clothing. Which then blocked the germ killing sunlight, and trapped moisture and grime, and no surprise, the incidence of various skin diseases increased markedly.

You can actually understand the words he's using??? I realize I'm not the target audience, but I think I could make out maybe twenty words max, and not in proximity to each other. Begs the question of how clear this person really wants to be.

Loose end re that girlfriend: many years ago I knew a guy who had a breath problem that he couldn't figure out. Turned out to be a tiny unknown crack in a tooth had become infected. Long ago I thought that using a toothbrush on my tongue while already brushing, apres toothpaste, made sense. I don't think a scraper is needed. If it tickles, just do a tiny bit, and over time it will be no big deal to do the whole tongue. Good videos about thinking in the larger nutritional picture. I can't ever recall the topic being brought up in a dentist office, aside from the usual reduction in candy, etc. Back in the eighties, I moved to a new city, went to a dentist used by a coworker. It was a "Christian dentist office", I recall some sign saying, like that might matter. "In sheep's clothing", is a phrase comes to mind. In the first interview with the hygienist I mentioned that my gums were also treated by eating raw fruit and veggies. Her response was a raised eyebrow and a dismissive attitude.

Pardon me everybody: Buford, I couldn't send a private message, but wanted to ask if you were by any chance the same B.T.Justice from Paradise Paintball?

(Such interwoven life.) I’ve been reading Tolstoy’s War And Peace. I am into the epilogues. I treasure all his detailed descriptions of people’s motions and motives. The first half of the book requires a bit of will to read, but after Napoleon invades Russia and Smolensk, the game is afoot and I stayed right with it. I’ve read tons of military history, yet Tolstoy allowed me to “get it” at such fresh and full levels, that I felt like I’d never before read anything of significance. If you’re a military history buff, and haven’t read the book, consider doing so, even if you just pick it up at the French invasion. A quick glance of my book’s brief Tolstoy bio revealed a mention, but not explanation, of a novella, which can be read here: The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories, by Count Leo Tolstoi The bio indicated that Tolstoy named a novella after a bit of Beethoven he didn’t like. Odd thing to do. Then I found out why. It’s the problem of stirred yet unfinished passion. Tolstoy points out that a stirring military march music finishes when the march finishes, and it’s all wrapped up. Same thing with sacramental music, the music and sacrament both wrap up, no inner loose ends. But Tolstoy asks, what about Beethoven’s passionate piece? The listeners’ bodices and waistcoats go up a few degrees in temperature, and it’s not because of the ventilation, and when the music ends, where’s the End Of File for those warmed bodices? Like a modern concert might do, warmed tank tops would then go out into the unfettered expanse of cool nighttime sky, and maybe somebody has sense, and maybe they don’t. As I write this, it occurs to me that these points highly resemble the points I was struggling to make in a previous forum topic about gang rapes at a Swedish festival by certain immigrants. #36, etc. Two days ago I was still in the main chapters of War And Peace. Main characters had died, a slew of them, and the forced passions of loss abounded. In this mental place, my doorbell rang. It was the selling of magazine subscriptions for disadvantaged…etc. I never do anything at the door, and had denied the previous neighborhood sweeps of this sort of thing. Yet this time I engaged, and wrote a check, and the next day I stopped the check and mailed the cancellation form on the receipt with the fine print I didn't read. Dope slap, what was I doing? I could recall most of the salesperson’s speech, and it was straight from the book of manipulation. Did I cave in because of reading that part of Tolstoy? Lesson: If you are reading or viewing a passionate piece, splash cold water on your face before answering the door or phone.

How do you ostracize a majority? -------------------------------- " if they are happy with their lives then thats all that matters and I must respect where they are in the present." Except that...in their happiness they are probably supporting some of the most blatant lies and evil with mind, heart, votes, and money. Early on, I imagine quite a number of new Nazi's felt like (armed) fuzzy bunnies. I can't respect that.

A space elevator would be the most tempting target, especially when in use, for a bomb drone, and it comes crashing down where? Can you imagine the security requirements, or the insurance costs? What's this colonize other planets stuff? Like where? Not including the vast distances which don't disappear in a wish, all we've found so far are orbs which are so large the gravity would break your bones, assuming the Death Valley or Arctic temperatures don't finish you off first. And who would pay for this? FORCE the public, who can't use it anyway? What's the return on investment? Rich people aren't gonna sign up for a years/decades long voyage with one group of people and no outside restrooms, just to be in Devil's Island hell for the rest of their lives. (Can you say one way ticket?) What Earth situation could be as bad as that voyage? And if we trash Earth, why would another "New World" fare any better? The human DNA is what is being shipped, and it's a bit predictable. And who's religion is aboard? ---------- "Then I can come back reincarnate into a better world " You'd better come back as radiation resistant mold. Which, strictly speaking, have a laid back lifestyle.

English version?

I'be been to clothing optional hot springs, and I found that very obese people looked much more relaxed naked, probably because they are not trying to cram themselves into containers, something I can relate to from my unhealthy youth. Having said that, many of us just aren't gonna look that good naked. As to who even cares about that, which is valid, there's also the practical issue of hygiene. Think about all those seats in busses, cafes, benches...I wouldn't want to sit on them even with clothes.

They won't listen. (At least they won't admit it out loud.) You will be the enemy. You will be a dangerous psycho because you say insane things. (Given that they will refuse to even look, then the truth can't get in the way of saying so.) This is standard behavior. As RoseCodex points out, you are threatening their paychecks, because their paychecks are largely based upon fraud. Therefore, you must be insane. You will be appalled at people you formerly respected. You are working in merely one office suite within the vast complex of The Well Appointed Gulag, and if you raise your head to speak, your career body will be dumped in a cold pit. Do your job, get paid, and look for those who value truth outside of where you work.

"So far so good for me. I guess this verbally abusive women with a passive man is somewhat common!" Yup. Been there, done that. And she would not not not be accountable for her behavior, couldn't discuss it.

I'm reading Tolstoy's War And Peace. (It picks up the pace about halfway in for those of you sitting on the fence about reading it.) I'm in the part about Napoleon making his way into Moscow. The crowds of Russians, be they noble or serf, run amuck with rumors and convictions, virtually none of which are true. We have modern communications, but I really don't see much difference in the result in how crowds behave (even when dispersed over the internet). From an evolutionary perspective, where it's all rocks and dirt, plants and other animals, rain or lightning, any member of the human (or other species) that arrives with information for the group is probably correct, in that it boils down to seeing other animals, or natural phenomena, and they either are there, or they aren't, even if the scale of something is mistaken. So we have a survival imperative to believe whoever brings us information. In our modern human world, this is like a car without steering, but in the natural world, this worked. Various species engage in deception, ask your dog where he hid something. At a tribal level, wherever that emerges in the primate lineage, any doubt is referred to a trusted tribal leader, presumed to know better, and even if it's from experience, the tribe believes in the leader's ability almost by magic. Again, in the natural world, this worked. But now, tribal is "I only vote red" and "I only vote blue." So the crowd will believe this red or blue person as tho' they have magical powers. Alas, in our civilized world (starting with ancient civilizations), this person is almost always lying.

To avoid the land mine, pretend to be a bland mind. (Wish I had more to offer.)

The article and its links are light on details. There is the claim of ALL the infants liked prosocial behavior, and differences may show up at one or two years. What differences? A sharing game is mentioned, and no details. Were some of the toddlers simply confused by the game, and not even at the place of moral judgement? Maybe they have a strong inner sense of "Opt out" and would be the future leaders least likely to join the EU. In the experiment of children reaching more for the toy representing prosocial than anti-social characters previously seen in a video, were some of the children simply curious about this bad toy, trying to understand it, or defeat it's threat by handling it and it didn't bite them, and they control the threat, which is actually a strength? We don't know the motives. We are told of "larger brainwaves" watching the prosocial characters. What waves, what the heck does that even mean? The toddlers differences seem to be larger neural response to prosocial characters, correlating with parental behaviors. But how accurate are those questionnaires, how does skewed self-reporting affect them? How robust are these numbers to begin with? I read elsewhere in the links how the very young are drawn to others who are similar racially, and it's really a matter of familiarity in reading faces, not racial per se. Are these children reaching for the good guy toys because the toys are superficially more like their parents, easier to interpret? That sounds good on the surface, but it's surface. We don't know about the toddlers future behaviors. The claim of different observed behaviors seems largely limited to which toy they reached for. This says little to nothing about what they are actually thinking.

At some level, I can see this as simply clearer use of language, tho' that wasn't the motive. But I think it's very far seeing. Someday, when the REAL aliens from planet Zargon invade Earth, the word "alien" will have been freed up, eliminating lots of confusion.

I think the OP isn't hating the technology, just observing. Such as "If cars are made and highways are made, what happens to Poppa's buggy whip business?" I take the point as...and I think it's already showing itself...as technology proceeds, more and more jobs will no longer make sense for humans to do, and where's the tipping point where there's not enough reason to hire enough humans to keep the system humming. For example, already a paralegal staff can be partly replaced by document searching software. My fund advisor is superfluous, it's software doing what is dictated by centralized fund managers far away. Ordering kiosks replace fast food workers. Factory work, agricultural, even road building and construction, in general always seeks more automation and fewer humans. I'm reminded of civilization eating into ecosystems. The flora and fauna can handle it for a long time, but eventually there's not enough space for food or shelter, species start fighting that didn't need to before, flora changes make large wildfires a big problem, erosion sets in, species die off, food chain is mangled, etc. Various systems may take lots of stress, but when they finally break, they may break dramatically. Yes things get less expensive, but having no income makes all things prohibitively expensive. We already have "starving artists" and are already where a large flat screen on the wall, which in the future will probably be more like a paper poster, can display any work of the old masters, or anything at all that anyone anywhere did. How many artists right now make money thru YouTube distributions? I honestly don't know, but I doubt if many such performers are buying a Bentley. And they get paid how?...with money somebody else got at a job that isn't yet obsolete, but may be soon. Except, why do that, since already there's more free stuff than anyone could consume in their entire lifetime. If someone wants to live a philosophical lifestyle, whatever it is, they still have to have a home and food on the table. Money from where? State handouts that can increasingly be only funded by taxing mega industries, because like so many former family farms or businesses, that very grand efficiency makes it impossible to survive unless at a mega level? And even the mega businesses have competitive pressures, making that surplus taxable income, less surplus. Down the rabbit hole. It suggests that many people are put into a frontier situation, having to create themselves their home and hunt and grow their food. Enough garden space is nowhere near possible. (Tho' I see Asian projects of giant buildings which are giant greenhouses amidst a big city; still, the food ain't free.) What gets hunted in dense human populations? Ain't deer. Rats? Charity money? Comes from where? The increasingly unemployed, or the increasingly taxed to fund the unemployed? Making something from nothing. And it would be a wavering pittance compared to huge and growing numbers of unemployed. Right now, we have amazingly inexpensive and powerful things like refrigerators and stoves and computers. Yet we have high rent and transportation and infrastructure costs. A person right now can choose to limit optional purchases, which begs the question of depressing the economy. And if those purchases become even less expensive due to efficiency, then is that not also reducing the economy's cash flow? Small businesses taking up the slack? How's that working out now? It will just get worse with the squeeze of ever increasing efficiency. Masters raise their livestock for wool, or milk, or meat. Machines are removing the value of, metaphorically, human wool and milk. What's left? "New! Soylent Green Flavored Mom and Pop Tarts!"
