WOMEN IN CRISIS

Supreme Court is on the verge of overturning Roe vs Wade. A woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy. The right to choose should not be governed.

The link between both of those great shows, Ed O'Neill, never won an Emmy. A genuine travesty.

It also seems like those cycles of creation and destruction repeat themselves and have echoes to a prior cycle of creation and destruction.

This is really out there, but I kinda believe in Terence Mckenna's novelty theory.

As a LA resident I rarely feel the desire to vacation. Particularly in the states. The list of US places I could find more enjoyment in than here is … small.

But I would put Maui in Hawaii on that list. I wouldn’t want to live there. But vacation for a week? Sure. And I’m an AA, I’m not white.

There is a level of peace, sunshine, clear warm ocean water, and serenity someone can achieve there, which is difficult to get the same here in the TMZ.

That’s interesting. I would love to know more on your perspective.

Do you believe in fate? Or things being pre-destined?

Or do you subscribe exclusively to causation?

I'm what I would call a hopeful skeptic. I don't tend to believe in things for which there is no compelling evidence, like a higher power or fate, but I do believe in our ability as beings with abstract sentience to rise above our evolutionary drives and create meaningful existences. I don't find that I require an afterlife to want to be a "good" person. In my experience, afterlives and other "created facts" are always part of controlling people by both assuaging and using their fear of mortality, from the first guy who figured out he could "know" that lightning was a sign of anger from the gods and that he could tell people how to fix that (which just happened to supply him power and wealth) to the current people who tell me what Jesus or Allah or whomever wants (with the same coincidental byproduct).

That said, I'm not at all shocked by the fact that appealing to people's animal nature is more effective, and I have no illusions that our universe is perpetual. Life is a gift, but not a fair one beyond what we can do with that for each other, and I'm OK with that.

This video doesn't necessarily objectify women. For all we know, they were doing interpretive dance and modeling to the music -- that's art. Objectification exists only where it is perceived by the actor in question. There are even some strippers who like their job (up to a point) and state that they don't feel objectified at all and are able to tune the patrons completely out. Who is an observer to say otherwise?

This video is a work of art. Always has been. Schwing.

When it comes to whether things are pre-destined, I believe that certain people are destined to do great things, but that they have to make it happen. I'm sure there are plenty of people who were "supposed" to do great or impressive things, but for whatever reason, they didn't see it through.

It's the centerpiece of my gripe. I saw most of his other notable works in the city over the past week here, and kept asking myself if I was the one taking crazy pills. After having paid my eE28 x2 entry fee, and after about 15 minutes inside the templo stewing over yet more of my money lost to the Gaudi scam, I had to hit the ol' controversial thread. There are so many sublime gothic, baroque,and art nouveau buildings in this city (and everywhere else in Spain) and they all dwarf Gaudi's melted ice cream steez, yet those places aren't overrun with insta selfie hos.

otoh Spain is a stunning country. Absolutely breathtaking in so many ways.

Gun control laws. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

Locking doors at schools. That presents an evacuation problem in the case of fire.
