No, not actually. But you can check my other comment, below, for a crumb more info. I have mostly walked away from this topic. I am getting myself and my son well. If the rest of the world wants to be openly assholish to me, hey, their heal

What she meane is that wellness is not a welcome topic in most circles, nor easily monetized. Everyone wants a new drug, literally or figuratively -- a quick fix, easy answer. No one wants to eat right, exercise, make dramatic lifestyle cha

Please note that "cure cancer" is in quotes. I am speaking from (bitter) firsthand experience about some other condition. I don't expect to ever get the Nobel Prize. I mostly get called crazy.

You apparently have no fucking clue why some people come to the U.S. The overprivileged assumptions so many Americans make are just completely out of touch with what goes on in many parts of the world. There are plenty of people not eating

There is also not much money in "curing cancer", unfortunately.

What do you mean by "recover"? In practical terms? Get another job. In emotional terms? Cry/vent/watch cathartic movies, etc. Anger is generally an acid which corrodes the vessel which holds it. No one can make you do th

Yeah, I know that. I am homeless and people have told me I should not admit that online, they would not hire me..blah blah. But most homeless were not born that way. It isn't a trait like skin color. "The homeless" come from

It would be better to provide support that makes the family successful rather than tearing it apart as our default approach.

Well, we need to stop trying to solve homelessness per se. We need to work on taking better care of people generally. That will shrink the numbers of homeless.

Nope. The so-called "news" is generally highly biased towards bad news. It has a negative slant. I think it actively creates problems in the world.

I don't get them. I am only replying in hopes of getting someone to notice your ask and reply. Sorry I can't be more help.

Yes, apparently, but too late to delete.

There is a lot of learning by asking questions, which works well guy to guy but there are serious barriers if you are female. I have repeatedly run into the fact that most men either do not want to talk to me at all or, if they do, it is us

I had fantasies there would be videotape with legible audio of the first encounter in the parking lot and pics of the second encounter at the access road next to the parking lot. There were no cameras trained on either the parking lot or th

Well, it does not sound like a very big picture goal, unless you are leaving something out. Without a big picture goal, "outstanding" success seems very unlikely. Take care.

On skim, I do not see any hard definition of the "outstanding success" you envisioned for Nickler. If you never defined it, you cannot achieve it or know if you have. What gets measured gets done but, also, you need a measurable g

I don't know. I have a tendency to get noticd merely for being different. I have genuine concerns about ordinary, nonsecret activities of mine taking notice. But that concern is mostly not relevant to the kind of intelligence being dis

Funny, my concerns about the social climate here are rather different. But I suspect writing this type of article is probably not the way to fix things. When people feel attacked, they get defensive and tend to become more entrenched, not l

I worked for a big company where security was a big thing. I had to have an ID badge to enter the building. My boss once admitted to requesting the logs to determine if people on the team were really showing up on time to work. So I was awa

I actually just like the blog but thought I would try to pick one post to focus on. It is mostly pictures of wildlife in Antarctica, with very little in the way of commentary, not much to go on to start a discussion. This post of the female

Stillness grips a lagoon in the heat and humidity of a rainy season afternoon. Not a breeze stirs the canopy. Even the crickets and cicadas have gone silent, waiting for a break in the stifling atmosphere. Some of this is very poetic. And

I do not see myself as a feminist. I want a career but my kids come first. I think society is so broken in part because we are destroying families in part to promote the idea that women "should" work at paid jobs. I think that&#x2

We get a lot of things wrong in our culture. But, when all is said and done, and our civilization crumbles into ashes, we are going to most regret the way we treated mothers and children. I am a former sahm. I like this guy.
