I like the idea to just move yourself along a spectrum as you can.  Right now my personal goal is to limit meat to only once a day.  I give myself an extra “pat on the back” if, like yesterday, I can go without meat for a whole day.  Sometimes it’s not really that hard.  It’s all about developing your “tastes”.  One doesn’t change one’s eating habits abruptly, UNLESS you have a heart attack or stroke.  So why not try to avoid the catastrophe in the first place.  Like Al Aiello taught me: “When you’re in a hole, stop digging.”

The Amish understand a life-changing truth about technology the rest of us don’t — Quartz

Saturday, May 19, 2018

The Amish don’t always reject a technology, but they have very specific rules about how it is to be used.

Interesting perspective.  Is technology ruining us?  I don’t think so.  But it is changing us.

EXPLOSIVE interview with Jordan Peterson on The Wright Stuff (VIDEO)

Saturday, May 19, 2018

Mr. Peterson is spot on on so many things. It is an absolute pleasure to watch him dismantle his opponents. (One because he does so so respectfully.) He is a classical liberal who is standing up to the speech Nazis. He calls out the indoctrination centers in universities, and the graduates of these indoctrination centers are not happy that someone is exposing them.

Political correctness is fundamentally sexism and racism institutionalized to a very large degree. It is anti-thought. It is anti-reason. It is anti-intellectual. And it is anti-reality.

Have to say this is exceptionally perceptive. I never understood the whole PC thing.  It’s what’s in people’s hearts; not their words.

Interesting that after our exchange about John McCain this podcast drops. It slaughters John “Tokyo Rose” McCain and makes him worse than “Hanoi Jane”. And to think he almost became President.  So sad that “We, The Sheeple” have been so deceived.

Report: Somali Immigrants Ran $100 Million Daycare Fraud | Breitbart

Friday, May 18, 2018

“We are working on and currently overwhelmed with significant fraud cases involving organized crime defrauding hundreds of millions of dollars. Significant amounts of these defrauded tax dollars are being sent overseas to countries and organizations connected to entities known to fund terrorism,” Stillman wrote to his supervisors at the Minnesota Department of Human Services in an email on March 28, 2017, which was provided to the committee.

U.S. Healthcare Isn’t Broken–It’s Fixed

Friday, May 18, 2018

Healthcare/sickcare will bankrupt the nation by itself. If you want to understand why the U.S. healthcare system is bankrupt, financially, morally and politically, then start with this representative anecdote from a U.S. physician.

*** begin quote ***

U.S. Sickcare is organized to maximize profits by any means available.

*** end quote ***

That’s the essence of the problem.  The interests of the patient and the suppliers are not aligned. Like the fiduciary standard in the financial services industry, we need to realign the rewards.

‘Ope!’: The All-Purpose Expression of Midwestern Politeness | Chicago magazine | Politics & City Life May 2018

Friday, May 18, 2018

This magical, monosyllabic exclamation applies to a whole slew of circumstances: Accidentally pulling on a push door; trying to flag down a waiter; realizing you were served the wrong dish; hearing a mildly juicy piece of gossip; realizing a car is coming when you’re about to cross the street; thanking someone for opening a door for you; feeling the first drops of rain. “Ope!” works for all of ‘em. It’s a way to announce your presence in the most passive, non-intrusive way possible. We’re too kind to say “Excuse me”—that can come off as pushy, right? Plus, given our near-sociopathic tendency to chat up strangers, any word longer than “ope” might get us unintentionally roped into conversation.

Why You Should Never Buy iPhone Insurance: 6 Reasons

Friday, May 18, 2018

Insurance or extended warranties aren’t required purchases for all iPhone owners. You may already have a good idea about whether your phone might get broken or be stolen before you’re ready to upgrade to a new phone. If you need the extra coverage, make sure you know all the details before you make your purchase or, when the time comes to use your insurance, you may be sorry.

I always thought almost any kind of “product insurance” was a scam.

Especially on any item that costs less than 200$.

You really have to self-insure anything below where it would hurt to have to replace on your own (i.e., home, auto, an “unbrella”).

Argh!

As for poor “customer service” or “tech support”, that’s the norm today.  Disgraceful, but no one seems to care.

Argh!
