16 oz bottles of soda were to share with three people
noseeemtoo much soda leads to this kinda thing...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgMWp3PsnsI

Covid-19 and Trump w/ Stephen Fry
noseeemdidn't get the 'why T will win' or what happened to the 10-year-old.
did get if the president says it - it's not true. or if he says his foes do it - he does it (and they don't).
any ideas who's gonna fill the vacuum when he loses?
Trump: Biden Will "listen to the scientists"
noseeemin general, hindu eschatology resembles the big bang/crunch. the cycle of expansion from a single point only to collapse to another single point and another expansion. these cycles are billions of years apart. (also some idea - that's too fuzzy to recall in detail - about matter changing and slipping into an alternative dimension might be a model of the great beyond)
will use Russell Bertrand - although not a poet, have read poetry that echos this thought (not gonna search) almost verbatim - when he said, “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.” this was pretty much summed up the Dunning-Kruger Effect. (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/355363-one-of-the-painful-things-about-our-time-is-that)
the other you noted. meditation is healthy. of note, Sufism tends to focus on intense focusing, in music and song...and some of the musicians are peachy keen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRivHR0c28
and the poetry is beautiful (EX: Rumi). so religion has spawned some good things, too.
in short, religion is no more destructive than the person implementing it. do believe in ideas. whether it comes from a white cassock or lab coat. such is the freedom to keep a mind free.
or take it up w/René Descartes*. he seemed to be better at it than I.
*Descartes died when he was run over by a horse-drawn coach. This is where the saying "Don't put Descartes in front of the horse."
BTW: Earle song?
Yes, some brains rot faster than others, but religion is like aerating the compost and adding lime, it accelerates the rot of all minds exponentially.
Ok...you're going to have to provide more details when you say some astrophysics resembles Hindu theology. I studied Hinduism and astrophysics and see no correlation.
Some religious practices, like meditation, are supported by psychology as beneficial, but absolutely not for the reasons the religions claim, and most aren't supported by science by any stretch of the imagination.
Not a single supernatural claim from any religion is supported by any real science, maybe by pseudoscience, but that's not science, it's snake oil salesmanship.
Give specific examples of poets that perfectly described specific areas of psychology without any evidence to extrapolate from please, that's a wild claim to make without evidence. Please don't say Nostradamus.
What "source" are you referencing, you listed none I can see.
That which can be claimed without evidence can be discarded without evidence.
Trump: Biden Will "listen to the scientists"
noseeemsome brains are more prone to 'rot' than others. belief is unlikely as a leading cause. EX: google: Nobel winner in 'racist' claim row
w/o other examples would point out some astrophysics theories resemble Hindu theology. some religious practices are supported by scientific studies in the area of psychology.
additionally, some poets were errorless when pointing out the truth of human behavior before there was scientific evidence to prove the stanzas.
seemly, there are diamonds and ore in the mines of all people. (note the prior source for verification)
humility can keep all on their toes.
we all make mistakes...hell! voted for reagan once!
being wrong is the only thing most folks can count on. don't know anyone hasn't done this kinda thing ->please Google: Steve Earle & The Dukes - "If I Could See Your Face Again" and listen to one of the world's greatest regrets
listening to that, thinking of covid and the potus' ultimate 'success' rate, hard to miss the truth of it all
Same Old - Samuel L. Jackson | Joe Biden For President 2020
noseeemThe 'misguided actor' gag is clever. Reagan. DJT. What a scream.
Pretending to be someone else? DJT? Total con. Wow!
Can't argue w/third line as it is incomprehensible (perhaps the Russian to English translator is buggy).
Pretty insincere belief if he's arguing wide-spread voter fraud when the vast majority of cases involved Republicans. NC ring a bell?
Almost expect, "See? They almost got away with it!" (using GOP crimes as support for new GOP crimes.) Gawd.*
Also perverse to believe Democrats have to 'cheat' to win.
Nice. Have anything else? Or would it be quicker to watch Fox to hear what you're going to say next?
Good Lord.
Have friends across the political spectrum and they are far more careful and thoughtful. Most folks just want some betterment. Progress. Health Insurance. Kids to become better educated at a higher level than they were at any age. Or even a road that doesn't eat tires or abuse shocks. That takes compromise. A common goal. Most don't care who - just when!
Tired of the 'I'll take my ball and leave' mentality.

Using a laser and night vision to find a missing child
noseeemGot lost in a forest as a kid. Scared and sad. But a kind fox found me and led me out to the nearest road. Walked it until a search team member drove up. Didn't tell them about the fox. Didn't tell anyone 'til now.
Although, now, I don't follow Fox because I am not lost or scared.
How times have changed.
Asimov on superstition, religion, and rationality
noseeemso what the logic behind those sideburns?
just let it all grow. save on shaving gear. as a writer, he'd fit in more with Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, or Whitman* than Elvis.
on a different angle, the atheist apes can be worse than J.W., Mormons, and Evangelist badgers. if a person wants to believe in a higher power - so what? they can get through their days as serenely as the true science maven. religious people can be logical, brilliant, and still put faith in the unproven. no worse than justifying military weapons in the name of science.
after all, having experienced this president, am pushed to believe in True Evil yet simultaneously believing there is no GOD.
no logic or reason to it other than he is a magical troll, and has cast a spell on the townspeople.
X-- (cross and spit twice)
*or perhaps, Darwin as a science writer
The best part of the VP debate
noseeemas don's uneasiness rises, the more orange he gets.
snl update showed how the tone matches rachel dolezal. it's like he is some kind of reverse chameleon or mutant anole. turn up the color to stand out. (off point but if dj gets any more neck sag it'll go from camel-toe to full-on wattles)
wasn't any "...your no jack kenney" toss-into-the-turnbuckle lines but that's okay. 2020 is in no need of more reason to get rid of the orange and white. (that's it! knew don's eyes reminded me of something...like someone took two bites out of a creamsicle.)

Buttigieg Shuts Down Loaded Fox Question
noseeemthis should have been biden's second term
so tap down the 'woe we got joe' smack.
the dnc is loaded w/good candidates
any and all are better than the psychosis goldfish
but have to find the center to get what's left of the sane right.
geez.
the less-that-great pumpkin still draws 42%.
it's like half the population are 'not sees'.
they don't see his face, his hair, his bulk, his laziness, vileness, stupidity, carelessness, his micheal jackson lean-over-the-shoes posture, his every.f.n.day missteps and muck-ups.
they don't see the crimes he commits. the ineptitude. his band of bland. the sycophantic snails. the ooze of corruption. they don't see the devastation he is wreaking. or see they are the reason that spineless senators keep their daggers sheathed.
how is that? there are voluminous amounts of data available that show - imperial evidence - that don is a yugo of a president.
they don't see.
they are 'not sees'.
