And it seems like the 200th birthday was so recent! 1976, to be exact. I recall marching in several celebratory parades on 1976 for the Bicentennial. But shortly thereafter, the experiment failed and the whole house of cards collapsed, leading directly to where we are now. I was once proud to be a ...

If ever makes the rounds of the theatres again I;d HIGHLY recommend In the shadow of the moon , It's a documentary on the Apollo missions which -- in spite of what the conspiracy-theorists make of it -- resulted in six successful human landings on the moon starting in 1969. It's an astonishing watch...

the advice " to limit eventual troubles with your company, don't deviate too much from the mass ". Much depends on whether the emphasis on on "deviate" or "too much". Many of the knuckle-draggers cannot tolerate any deviation whatsoever -- and that's what's causing all...

Skirted men can very easily end up looking top-heavy due to men tending to have wide shoulders. It can be helpful to make the skirt's width at the hem about the same as the wearer's shoulder's. This is perfectly normal and ought the be embraced as one puts together outfits. Men are simply top-heavy...

these ai games will be the norm soon... Only if we allow it! Indeed. Speculation, however on how a sufficiently-evolved AI might deal well with idiots, abusers, and game-players might work out. They can have their place and function, but humans are social animals so meat space, flesh and blood rela...

Another version of a suit comes to mind: 1. Shirt 2. Waistcoat 3. Skirt That's precisely what I've been doing for 20+ save that I've ratcheted back a bit because of societal backlash. I don't need to be disappeared and deported from one 3rd World hole to another 3rd World hole simply because I &quo...

For the most part, I'll wear rather subtle shades like robin's-egg blue or a lilac colour. Occasionally I'll do my right middle finger in brilliant green and the left one in bright red (starboard and port), which has resulted in some interesting conversations indeed as folks learn something they did...

So a question comes to mind. If over the course of that century a few men were experimenting with MIS, at what point would a substantial number of women consider a romantic relationship with such men? Some time around 3165. In other words, we're not going to see it, nor will our great-grandchildren...

This is important in keeping are mental health. Even if are slogan T-shirts doesn't persuade others to join MIS, it helps in keeping are own peace of mind and that is crucial. The best way to do that isn't with slogans plastered on a t-shirt or a sticker, but simply standing up, raising high the mi...

I see Brad's activism as important (not sure who Chip is) - and I think social media is where the war must be fought. I'm simply saying that a lone t-shirt with a quirky message might be nice individually - I don't see it having broad social impact. Bluntly, aside from cesspits like Farcebook and T...

You can't control how other people perceive you anyway. It doesn't matter. Precisely. However, some of us dwell in 3rd World holes where just looking different can potentially get you disappeared to some worse 3rd World hole -- thus some of us have just reverted to "protective colouration"...

This is a common gripe amongst women as well. As my late ex- put it, "It's down to trial by fitting room."

By the time one gets done with "vanity sizing" and the entirely uncontrolled Asian "sizing" one never knows what one will get.

Apologies Carl, I did not mean to imply you did, I was( possibly being a hypocrite, sorry BM) refering to men as a section of society, past and present. No offence taken -- and certainly none offered. The main point is that as we tend to look askance at the seedier end of civilisation we wind up ov...

We have had a recent case where a male, convicted of sexual offences against cis women, turned round and claimed to be a trans woman which is why he was in 'female spaces' and that he should go to a female prison. The answer here is, "No. What we have is a predator that needs to be confined an...

My thoughts exactly Carl. Trouble is people actually fall for it. That's why it's such a useful tool -- and precisely why it's deployed -- It works ! And its usage is almost universal which is why critical thinkers need to be carefully aware of when they're being manipulated. Here's a good example:...
