  1. I'll check out the video later. They also arrange their huts in a fractal pattern before the west discovered fractals.
  2. Florida has a lot of retirees from New York New Jersey and Conneticut. New York City is not appealing as a retirement destination. Even in my 20's I both wondered and admired the elderly I saw walking around NYC. At that time I thought to myself I wouldn't want to be old in New York.
  3. No but the co-author has a Dutch name. And I have been running across some really knowledgeable Dutch Astrologers
  4. I was at a station in Brooklyn no one on the platform but me. A homeless guy approached a thin silver pointy thin poker fell out of his clothes. So I watch everyone. I grew up in the 70's. So my first dead body at 12. It happened around the corner from the barber shop. He was a friend of the family.
  5. I picked up a book on Taoism. It said the way can not be shown. So I put the book down.
  6. Thanks @Troy
  7. In Oz churches own clubs that have bars and gambling.
  8. You missed his point. There's an expression an educated fool.
  9. You are right, why should I try to engage with you. It isn't worth it.
  10. Just like you did. In fact you did that to me in our first interaction when I didn't answer your question. For the record I don't eat Cheerios.
  11. You and I are are literally cut from a different cloth. When I was younger people thought I was gay. Even gay men thought I was gay. However not all women thought that way. I wasn't into sports, I cooked, liked to dance and I dressed well. I was also fit and I didn't hit on women. If it wasn't for forward women I'd still be a virgin.
  12. Does that mean you might wear a frilly blouse for a woman.
  13. It is a hard concept to understand. I found them recently.
  14. Can you demonstrate the unity of these two statements that appear to be in opposition ?
  15. I saw a cow enter a temple no one was concerned. However once in aa Tuk Tuk my driver whacked this cow with a stick. I asked, "I thought cow were sacred?" His reply, "Not all cows." So there is a caste system even for cows.
  16. Check out Fruitvale Station and The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Jonathan Majors has chosen some interesting roles. Lovecraft Country. He was chewing up scenery in the Last Episode of the Loki Series. Perhaps they will do a movie together with either Jordan Peele or Ryan Coogler directing.
  17. Yeah I listed the foreplay activities
  18. No the disconnect for me is that you want women to take your opinion into account. I don't think you can define how someone else sees you. A had a lesbian coming on to me. I am certain she didn't want to breed with me. I neither wanted to have children with her nor be intimate with her. Not me. If I have to change to be attractive then she isn't attracted to me. What's that line. You're perfect now change It may come as a surprise but not all intercourse is about procreation sometimes it is recreation. Up until I was 42 my goal was not for intercourse to contribute to the gene pool. I will tell what some women have told me they thought was sexy. Intelligence, a smooth dancer roller skater, arrogance, style, money, power, musical ability. Also I have noticed that criminality and aggresiveness is attractive. Bad Boys have appeal ,even though the may not be the long term choice. Also I had a woman tell me scruffy shoes was a turn off. @Troy I am glad there are women that don't share your viewpoint. More than a few.
  19. A friend when to Japan and saw something similar. It like there is common culture or perspective.
  20. I was in India for about four months outside of the cities I don't recall seeing that many traffic lights. I get in into one of the Tuk Tuk. The driver went the wrong way through traffic and then cross the divider. I also saw a bull trying to mount a cow noone was concerned.
  21. Yeah I don't help me reconcile the following statements that you made or fix the possible typos. Not everyone adapts to change well which is why we we have: alcohol; drugs; entertainment; music; hobbies and pasttimes. Some people decide to drop out. Or decide that they won't pick up their device every time it pings. the UnaBomber or Prince, I think Thor didn't have a cell phone either.
  22. Power is sexy, style is sexy, humor is sexy, intelligence is sexy, creativity is sexy, being poor is not sexy. Substitute men and masculine with Black. I'll repost what i wrote earlier. It may make more sense. you in particular and Blacks in general can define Blackness however you choose. If you want or need Whites to accept your definition you may run into difficulty. It i easier to change your pool of prospects than to change your ideals. @Troy I don't think men can tell women what is acceptable as masculinity, attractive or sexy. What is that old saying. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
  23. Isn't that the nature of change? The American Revolution The Industrial Revolution Cars Traffic Lights WWII Cloning Program Trading/PC PC George Floyd People sure bought a lot during Covid. Isn't that adaption buying new stuff or finding new ways to buy old stuff.
