Great song..., no. Catchy and fun to listen to? Yes.

"She Blinded Me With Science" is (was?) a mediocre pop song from Thomas Dolby, which is memorable for the same reason we remember certain tv ads from twenty or forty years ago. The song sounded much like an avertisement jingle, actually. I thought that title was slightly more interesting than...

The word "get" stands out here for me. Sometimes, what we really need is to give more, not get more. And in giving more we're able to "get" experiences we were previously not even available for. Ask yourself what you're willing and able to give in this situation. Try even letting your giving...

It's quite possible that 'demisexuality' is simply a bad word, in the sense that it's not ... well, coherent. And yet some self-identified 'demisexuals' say they have a higher than average (for humans) sex drive and will want sex as much as twice a day (or more) ... so long as the requisite...

Maybe so, but it appears that the word "demisexual" doesn't identify one type or kind, but a broad and diverse spectrum of types and kinds. Unless someone with authority to do so can police the word use to keep it narrowly constrained, that is. As it stands, the word 'demisexaul' refers not...

;):rolleyes::cool:

This seems to be more and more the case with a lot of folks. What it leaves out, mainly, is bodily presence -- which is a LOT. Especially when we consider the importance of non-verbal cues in communication. Which is a LOT of what happens in communication. Like, a LOT.

It's freaking extraordinary just how much personal computerized devices (PCDs) -- which include 'smart' cell phones, laptop computers, tablet computers and a dozen other kinds of devices -- have transformed our culture and world in the last two and a half decades! There is a growing movement...

Sometimes when writing long things -- where there'd be a lot of lost time investment if something goes wrong -- I'll highlight and copy and paste that block of text before I click to save -- on a word processing file or even my reliable email. That way I have a copy if something goes screwy...

I'm bisexual and sort of "demisexual" -ish. Especially lately. Probably simply because I'm getting older. (I'm 53.) This article says "A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone." That's not me. Nor am I in...

YKINMKBYKIOK is EASY to google / look up. Some other acronyms, especially the very short ones, are not. (There are very good, logical and mathematical reasons for this!) Some people understand this. Others do not. If you don't understand this and have a grudge against someone you can use...

Religious people have for millennia claimed Ultimate Authority In All Things (UAIAT). Religious people are very, very interested in what we do with our genitalia and how we experience pleasure in our existence. They'd like to have us experience pleasure only when suppressing or repressing our...

That is a fact. We don't yet fully understand just how severe it may be; but that is a fact. This is not a fact. This, too, is not a fact. All known life is imperilled, however. That is a fact. Google "extinction rebellion". Extinction Rebellion - Democracy Now...

Okay, words. Here's a guy saying that in this time of Facebook we've got more "friends" than our grandfather (who lived before Facebook) did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzECetUzB9I Just consider this for a moment or two.

For millennia, the dominant culture (initially manifest as religious in nature and structure) sought to constrain, contain and regulate erotic energy as one of its primary cultural and social functions. Now that most of us are in some sense modern, and religion has less of a hold on culture...

Thanks Emm. I appreciate your conciliatory words. I'm saddened by this entire misunderstanding of my intent in asking a question and making a gentle suggestion, and by the fact that I'm now "blocked" by the ... OP.

I am NOT here to derail the thread. Nor am I here to be badmouthed and called names and ridiculed. I simply made a request that you please spell out words so I and others don't have to guess what you're trying to communicate. You say I'm rude because I didn't know what OW meant and said so ...

Yeah, remind me never to make a simple, reasonable request again, lest I be treated like some kind of freaking monster.

Long ago I read some of the so-called Old Testament ... and found it so distasteful that I gave it up in short order. The New Testament received a similar response from me. It was difficult to engage with and seemed mostly pointless, except for the fact that these books are somewhat at the...
