For individuals who believe in God

I've noticed most doctors and surgeons I've met were very religious. These are the smartest people out there and the ones who use science and facts the most. Yet being that close to death and people who die and come back makes them believe. There's definitely something going on there.

Well said. I agree.

mesmerized

kinda like Elvis mixed with Bowie

....I sorta see how you could get that.

At the same time, Billy Idol was also his own deal - I can't say I was a raging fan but I was never put off by his music - the dude could rock - and I like the guitar he has in this particular video. Badass.

Fux, I really miss the 80's.

Even the techno/rave was the bomb.

If youโ€™re talking with someone and you start feeling like something is there between you all, is it one sided or are you feeling something from that person as well?

Extra hint: a guy doesn't necessarily have to feel 'butterflies' to like you.
He will notice your interest in him and the way you feel.
Offer him some gum or a piece of candy. Make an excuse to touch his hair.
You're in.

Riddle me this: How do you stop caring what others think of you?

I never had a Facebook account to begin with.

There's something about participating in the events of mass society that make me ill. You actually don't gain your identity through social media - you lose it, along with anything that separates you from any other "Joe Blow."

Two heads are not better than one (perhaps), but put together 50 heads in a focus group and you'd think they could improve perfection - not the case, but the opposite (and proud of it).

Also, with the exception of the past two months, I have not watched mainstream T.V. since 2005 - 14 years. I don't miss it. Further, I am sickened by T.V. at every level, when exposed - I can't take it.
I can't it's stupidity. It's content. It's reoccurring themes. It's news and media outlets. It's advertisements.
It needs to burn.

My outlets are; I collect movies. I'm in control of that, I choose the subject matter and the period in which it's made - I like older movies (late 80's and back - there are exceptions).
Same thing with music.
And, of course, Help QA as my social media and You Tube.

Further.
I have a computer that has never been on line, therefore it performs well as it should when it comes to running specific programs that I've installed.

I use my LG smartphone as a filter to the internet - What I install on my computer us first quareniend by my phone.

Screw the internet - it can die and blast the world for having jumped in head first into shallow water - the consequences to follow....it's not over. The internet is still a basically new monster on the block.

And finally....cellphones. They can die, too. You can argue to me all day long but these devices have not improved the human condition - they have created mass addictions....
Here's how you know you've lost touch with humanity -
You know that feeling you get when you misplace or lose your phone....? That's the tail wagging the dog right there. It says everything about you - it says....you're not in control of your life unless you're falling asleep and waking up with these electronic scrying boards in your hand.
I was always taught to never put all your eggs in one basket - even then, only put in what you're willing to lose because $#!t always happens. But...what do people do? That's right, not only do they throw in the kitchen sink, they also throw in their soul on that little slab of silicon - strike a pose, take a selfie, chose the emoji and upload it.

These are devices of enslavement. The sad part is, they are completely voluntiery.

Do you ever doubt yourself?

If you have nothing to lose then ask him out.

NFL Superbowl LIII Poll ...

A half hearted, $#!ty kick by the Rams with 8 seconds left. They miss and possession of the ball returns back to the Pats, who, run the clock out...

It is done.
Game over.
