  1. His band was multicultural, the men sang lead vocals and the women played instruments. Which is still rare.
  2. I'm engaging you're entertainment.
  3. Clearly you are not "stuck"
  4. Maybe he isn't stuck, he may not be mobile.
  5. Not true, I merely didn't answer a rhetorical question. Due to the fact that rhetorical questions don't require answers.
  6. Not surprisingly we have the opposite feeling. I think my post are more concise and more reasoned. Growth implies change. I can't imagine something growing and not changing.
  7. There are still stories about love and life.
  8. Well he's no longer in that particular hot seat.
  9. I very rarely say someone is wrong. This is one of those times. In Deed
  10. As does your absence
  11. Black people getting pimped made America great, that includes South America.
  12. I came across this yesterday. AI threatened to blackmail an employee, that was tasked with ending it's existence. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpqeng9d20go I came across a tik tok video. The poster had a cup that was upside down. He said the cup has a sealed top and open bottom. It made a few suggestions, none of which where turn the cup over.
  13. The easiest way is to start a new post. Screenshot the messages. And tag @Pioneer1 . Or if Troy can move them that's a better.when it works then if you can delete the posts that would be good. It's probably a good idea to take a screenshot even if Troy moved them. Thanks , Del
  14. @ProfD and @Pioneer1 Can you start on a new thread for your conversation. Thanks, Del
  15. I believe Magic is real and numbers are an unreasonably useful fiction https://closertotruth.com/video/why-the-unreasonable-effectiveness-of-mathematics/
  16. In the 70's I remember Positively Black, Like it is, Black News, and The Amsterdam News. Gil Scott Heron on the radio and Nikki Giovanni on tv. George Carlin and Richard Pryor. 80's Bookstores, Black Bookstores, Gay, Bookstores and Lesbian Bookstores. Granted I was hanging with people that were mostly outsiders. I am not artistic or foreign. Yet I was part of that crowd. There was an openess and liveliness. It was a community. Now people have a relationship with their phone. Yesterday was the first time I saw a parent talking with her children. Her son was saying he liked New York more than Sydney. I interjected that Australia was the best country on the planet. The other commuter was from Boston and she agreed. I do occasionally see a commuter reading a book. Nightlife and day life changed around the time of Sex and the City. It was about the scene it was about being seen.
  17. Feynman was born in NYC. Whenever he spoke you could hear that he was the City. So when I heard the British accident I was done. I have to say it is getting harder to tell the difference.
  18. The following are three Magicians. John Dee - Advisor to Royalty Mathematician Cartography Benjamin Banneker - Designed Washington DC- Isaac Newton - Invented Calculus, put ridges on coins, when he was the Master of the Mint All of them were well read and had a massive effect on their country. Not all magicians are like media portrayals. Almost forgot Aleister Crowley. One if the first people to climb K2 in the Himalayas without Oxygen.
  19. I don't have bandwidth to play Blacker than Thou.
  20. Every once in a while, I say some funny $h!+.
