Reminds me of the guy who fooled countless people into believing that he was magnetic because he was able to make mirrors stick to him by sweating profusely and leaning back a bit. :D
The Chinook tribe that inhabited the mouth of the Columbia river had an arrow proof breastplate called a clamon made of 2 layers of cured elk hide. To make it bullet proof (post-contact), they only had to add one more layer of hide. They were one of the many things that made the Chinook tribe a...
Hmmm... What will it take before folks recognize climate change via a dust bowl moment? Rising temperatures, shrinking glaciers, observable changes in weather activity, and scientific consensus doesn't seem to be doing it.
What ever action you take, your life experiences, motivations, and limitations had ultimately guided you to make the decision that you "choose", it seems to me. The fact that "drinking" or "not drinking" are the options you present are examples of that. :)
Why isn't doing something like going...
Hmmm... It makes me feel more grounded.
Years ago I decided to seriously subject my beliefs to intellectually honest scrutiny. I learned about my biases and how my understanding of reality had skewed my experiences, perceptions and interactions with it. Upon learning this, I then attempted to...
I feel like yours is a voice of reason, @Conscious thoughts. Your insight is a reminder to folks that people groups aren't monolithic entities that are to be easily addressed and dismissed as a whole.
If you feel the desire to weigh in and give your thoughts on a given matter, your input is...
I mean... Was there ever going to be a different way that this would end? What we are seeing right now is the tatters of the rotting curtain of self aggrandizing propaganda finally tumbling down to reveal what the rest of the world had been witnessing all along. "Operation Enduring Freedom"...
Ahhh! Yesss! Love is in the air! :D The hopeless romantic in me loves seeing where your relationship is heading! I'm excited for yah!
Yah... I guess that depends on what your ultimate goal is. When dating a few people at once, it seems to me that it would be difficult to invest too much of...
I feel like malls are kind of like cathedrals built in honor of some kind of American idea of wealth and power that never aged gracefully and now only stands as a stark reminder of greed gone rampant.
I'm glad they are dying, but it is a weird thing to see unfold. I actually watch some videos...
Facts. I've seen how hell beliefs harm people - especially those with mental illness. When folks are so fearful that people they care about will be tortured forever, they live in perpetual angst, or act in ways that are harmful. An extreme case that comes to mind was one I read years ago when I...
Hmmm... I think what might be more useful than saying something poignant is instead to say something that draws out new information. Sometimes saying something one might consider provocative or even thoughtless can produce more information than you'd initially think. Playing coy seems to work...
I've thought that there were miracles I've seen and experienced in the past, but they were likely placebos or hallucinations, honestly. The fact that I was in a heightened emotional state when they happened lead me to believe that they were. Not that I think that devalues my experiences, though...
I feel like this saying rings especially true for those who are willing to consider not only the meaning that they find, but the meaning others find as well. Different positions offer different perspectives.
