Incidentally, I downloaded a popular mobile game about zombies, and I love it. Not because of the zombies, but because it is a microcosm of real life. The game rules are sparse, therefore people make their own rules. Which works EXTREMELY WELL most of the time. The territory I am in developed a...

I think the biggest problem in zombie bunkers is infighting. So maybe I should set out on my own and be one of those nomads in an old drover coat with a sawed-off shotgun and a Bowie knife shoved into my belt.

I seem to have developed cyclical habits that follow the seasons. I go to bed late and get up early in the spring, go to bed early and get up late in the summer, go to bed early and get up early in the fall, and go to bed at a normal hour and get up at a normal hour in the winter. I am in tune...

I would like to state for the record that I would much rather meet 17Bees in the woods than a bear. I know he wouldn't steal my picnic basket.

Sounds like you want an excuse to get all gussied up, my good man. :P

Gladly. First of all, can you tell the sex of a bear right off from seeing it in the woods? Are you going to ask it if it identifies as a male or female bear? It could be a hermaphrodite after all. Furthermore, if you and I were hiking in the woods and I suddenly yell "BEARRR!" I highly doubt...

I think "meeting a man in the woods" generally means a stranger. If I saw someone I knew in the woods I wouldn't phrase it like that. I take the question as random bear vs. random man.

Social media is jumping with the following question: would you rather encounter a strange man or a bear in the woods? I would love to hear any and all points of view, and I would hope that no one gets upset or defensive at any genuine response. I am not looking for any particular answer, just...

You smoked weed too?? Heathens, one and all.

This reminds me of a story. Once I went to a wedding and the line to park the cars was immense. just took forever. Then I went inside and needed to use the restroom. That line was extremely long as well. finally I got out and decided to get some punch. and there's no punchline.

Timely thread! I just stepped in the house, I was at my little orchard. I had set up a bluebird house at the edge of the woods by the orchard and noticed it was crooked. I went over to straighten it and a flying squirrel popped out and stared at me. I guess he (or she) blinked first because it...

Here is a link to the article. https://slate.com/technology/2021/06/kidney-transplant-dialysis-race-adjustment.html I hope there is a bit of spin on it, I hope the article is wrong. But if the article is accurate I find it very unfair.

I think people will always be curious about their ancestors, and that is a good normal thing. Also it does matter a bit for certain medical reasons, I read an article about a young man trying to get a kidney transplant and the hospital wouldn't put him on the donor list because he had a small...

Lanolin, I recall once seeing a big university protest about cultural appropriation, some white student had worn cornrows or dreadlocks or something. And one of the white protestors had a mohawk. I think the irony of culturally appropriating the hairstyle of a Native tribe was lost on them.

"* Are the children produced in anything other than a first marriage seen as being illegitimate in the kingdom of God?" I think there will not be any illegitimate children in the Kingdom of God, no matter the earthly circumstances. God will be a Father to the fatherless. We were all born into...

Biblically, the first thing I think of is the verse about what was meant for bad God worked for good. He gives beauty for ashes. King Solomon was the result of sin, not him exactly but David & Bathsheba's shameful relationship. That might comfort someone who is studying the word and believes it...

Great topic Seoulsearch! I have a few random pseudo-intellectual musings from a (as far as I know) completely white guy. The first thing that comes to mind is what a Native American man told me about possessing songbird feathers. It is against federal law to possess feathers from a large swatch...

Guys! She cracked the code! Shred all documents! Burn all correspondence!

Hormones can cause anger, as you noted with PMS. While men have less cyclical and more constant hormones, that does not mean that their hormones don't contribute to anger in some ways. I don't think it is fair to give women and not men a hormonal pass. Now hormones are not an excuse to hit...

I was thinking about this from a biblical perspective actually, I have not seen the studies you vaguely alluded to but in 2 Samuel 20 an emotional man (Joab) ran into a calm rational logical woman who came up with a suitable plan wherein everyone (except Sheba) walked away happy. A great read...
