Those infamous dating apps and sites, so basically dating sites and apps are like ordering pizza, you get to choose your toppings (or no toppings), maybe extra pepperoni ...... Genuine love does not exist anymore, basically arranged or not, it is one big sham - people date and marry for all the wrong reasons - it's more of a problem on this side of the planet, but I think it may still be a problem in other countries, there is usually things on the priority list - Looks, Money and Extra Pepperoni You can't force love through arrangements, but does it matter, when true love is scarce - let's be realistic, who uses dating apps nowadays, are they finding or expecting to find TRUE love there, I don't think so - it's mostly people looking for a quick f*** or f*** buddies, one night stands, or truly desperate people who got rejected their whole life and think they will find better quality on dating apps - boy do they get disappointed really quick, unless those desperate ugly and rich guys find a "match", but only find out 20 years later that the whole thing was a sham and about money, of course when they divorce after 1 year and the gold digger takes half, they only find out 20 years later "Oh wait, did I get scammed here ?". It is so ********d pathetic, you won't find genuine love on Dating apps, ask a 4' tall guy to look for a match on a dating app

OK I found it, you got the title wrong It's not GIRLS, it's "Lizzo's Watch Out For The Big Grrrls"

WOW rated 4.7 out of 10 on Amazon so it must be complete shite - I'm almost curious to watch it just to see how much it sucks - I gotta register an account on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB BTW the ratings you see on Amazon is out of 10, not out of 5, initially I thought it was 4.7/5, but then I saw other content rated at 7 and 8.5, so yeah....they use the IMDB ratings, which is out of 10.

I'd post a link to one of her videos at YouTube but they are so disgusting in the words. She's a rapper and she is black but she consistently uses the N word. You see, I don't understand that. There are black people that like everyone else, wants respect but many of those same people, refer to each other and self as the N word. But if someone else calls then the N word, they scream racism. I believe you need to have self respect in order to give respect.

ahahaha yeah this is not something you can debate, it's a waste of time, I personally never used the N word, but I have witnessed some white people using it a lot with their black friends, it's so awkward, I don't think it is acceptable, I even hear white people use it with each other. There is always this argument black people make about it, CONTEXT, when a black person says the word the context is different than when most whites say it - when black people say it , it is not in a derogatory way and not racist - when a white person says it most of the time it is racist, I have heard black people call white people the N word too, it's become common in songs, I mean as common as swear words, in a way they may have a point - personally I could care less people are free to use the words they want to, I never used the N word, and I do not think most African Americans or black people around the world would find it acceptable if a white person uses the N word, because the context it is used in is different. I've been on basketball courts and watched some games with a mix of blacks and whites, and the N word used by whites, I dunno if people here are more tolerant but I don't think this would go down in some states - even if you are best friends with someone, you don't use the N word, even if your intentions and context is not derogatory, still, it's awkward, in some states if you use that word - not all black people use that word, mostly comedians, rappers, actors and some YouTubers but in the end, it's not for the same reasons!
It's like the C word, you know the one that ends with UNT If you go live in Australia you better get used to that word, you will hear it a lot Context is different, it's also used in the UK, though not as much !

valerie wrote: There's a variety of bees and the bees that we need are becoming extinct. The Honey Bee.

Without the honey bee, we in essence, starve to death.

Well no maybe not starve to death but let's say for some it will be a huge change in eating habits, though for many it won't make a bloody difference.

Here is the list of foods that depends on bees:

Alfalfa
Almonds
Apples
Asparagus
Beans
Beets
Blackberries
Blueberries
Brussels sprouts
Buckwheat
Cabbage
Cantaloupe
Cauliflower
Celery
Cherries
Chestnuts
Chives
Clover
Cranberries
Cucumber
Currants
Eggplant
Flax
Garlic
Gooseberries
Grapes
Horseradish
Kale
Lettuce
Mustard
Onions
Parsley
Peaches
Pears
Plums
Pumpkins
Radishes
Raspberries
Rhubarb
Squash
Strawberries
Sunflowers
Sweet potatoes
Turnip
Watermelon

Fortunately pollination of some flowers is done by natural elements, wind, water, other animals, food supply would definitely be lower, but will people starve to death ? Probably not, there is still a long list of foods you can still eat,
just not the ones that depend on bees - besides most Americans are on a processed food, junk and artificial diet anyway, it's not like people are eating fruits and vegetables nowadays In my case, it will be difficult, I will sure miss those watermelons and berries and almonds, oh wait banana is not on the list, so it's safe no apple no apple pie, no apple cinnamon custard pie Point is, it's just a small list, nobody is going to starve to death, you will just have to make with a diet rich in fats, starch and sugar, not a problem on this side of the world you will have to make with eating no or less of the fruits because they will be crazy expensive, and no way I am eating lab grown food.....................

josealvesjr wrote: Darkstar yes so true.Bees are from the utmost importance. When a bee collects nectar and pollen from the flower of a plant, some pollen from the stamens the male reproductive organ of the flower sticks to the hairs of the body. When the bee visits the next flower, some of this pollen is rubbed off onto the stigma, or tip of the pistil the female reproductive organ of the flower.
Maybe Tasman can step in and start smelling flowers and plants because with his long nose and facial hair he can fulfill the same procedure. Like this he can save the world from starvation and femine.

For sure though I initially thought you meant for other reasons - that's my mind in gutter mode kicking in The thing is bees have wings and fly from one flower to another - I don't think they can do this process manually, it would be extremely costly - so watch out for human engineered produce, our foods in the future will come from a lab not from a plant or flower - and this is very disturbing - though this news about bees is probably blown out of proportion maybe, because I can see opportunity for the greedy industry to turn this into propaganda and fear and raise the prices even more, to take advantage - I mean it's 35% of bees not 100%, so if only people WASTED less, it would solve the problem - it's better to RATION than raise prices or claim there will be a food crisis.

When was the last time you saw a bee around your house ? I haven't, they've BEEn gone a long time All I see around here are wasps the size of my fist, yellow jackets, horse flies, scorpions, spiders the size of a basketball and weird insects I've never seen before and don't know what they are, almost as if they came from another planet But bees, nope, I hive not seen any

I'm still watching OuterRange. Two new episodes on Fridays. I've watched 6 episodes.

I think OuterRange is stupid. I do like Will Patton and Josh Brolin. Actually I like Will Patton much better than Josh Brolin so I hope they don't die Patton out of it.

If they hadn't tried to make it into some sort of a syfy series, it would have been much better. They should have simply made it into a modern type western with land arguments, marriage/dating issues, etc. I was hoping it would be something like the old Dallas series.

That doesn't cut it today in modern world, TV network execs want fresh material to keep up with times (see the pun ? ) I guess people are into sci-fi elements, time travel and all that stuff

Yes Arvind9 everyone would like to be his/her own boss. But that is not how the system works. The system is based on starting a family with children, buy a house which has to be paid of in the next thirty years, support your family , put your children to school put food on the table. This to make sure that you are enslaved to the system for the rest of your miserable life. If your boss tells you to jump you only ask how high.That is how the system works. Otherwise it all falls apart.

Well said, spot on - It's easy to say you want to be your own boss, but you need the actual experience and the right people, no wonder most people fail because they have no bloody clue about business or they don't have the right skills or right people - besides startups require funding unless you are wealthy and can cough up the money - but it's good for nothing if you throw all your savings in a business you don't have the experience to run - even those who do have experience can it hard. Most startups fail anyway.

Now the part about paying your house in 30 years, whee ??? Not in America or Canada You will be paying your house in 60 to 100 years if at all, with such rip-pff prices - in a few years a regular run-down home that should be worth $300k will be sold for $1 million - can you pay a $1 million home in 30 years ? People can barely make ends meet, you would need virtually an entire salary to make that happen, ideally you would need a $150k-$200k a year salary to make that happen, if you consider taxes, inflation, cost of living, interest on loan year to year. My former Indian boss (from Goa, may God rest her soul) once told me with the money most people have here, could live comfortably in some parts of India - I can see what she meant now - but the problem with me living in India is weather, there is no way I would like such hell hot weather, it's enough that here it is hot as hell in the summer, I cannot imagine living all year round those kinds of weather ....... In the West the standards of living and cost has gone through the f****** roof, unfortunately the only reason people can live comfortably in some countries is because of cheap labour and exploitation - this is why you see Indians being the head of major techs, some people have decided being exploited for miserable income has its limits and had enough so they decide to move to a different country and instead of starting own, they work for someone else but at high positions with good $$$$ - wherever you go there is some level of exploiting. If not for cheap labour and exploitation you would be paying 50x more on every product you consume on a daily basis, including door knobs and stoppers

For me daytime temperatures of 25o celsius and at night 16C that would be paradise.

16C that's too hot for night, more like 6C would be better at least you can sleep comfortably without sweating bullets

That's the whole point - did you actually believe HELL was in another invisible dimension - we are literally standing above it, right now the gates are opening and the heat is coming out, 35-50C is not bad compared to the billions degrees down there

valerie wrote: OuterRange for the most part has or had a good soap opera going. By that I mean, the feud between the ranches and land ownership. Also between the ranch owners and the sons of each ranch. Also, the bar squabble.

I do like sci fi but I really wasn't expecting a hole in the ground in which people pass back and forth thru time. That is what it appears to be. Not that it isn't a good idea but I think I was like many others, expecting a good series like Bonanza or Dallas (soap opera) or Yellowstone.

Your expectations were too high, we are in 2022 They don't make them as good as before, they are cheaping out on quality all over - Will Smith slapping a comedian live on TV was the most entertainment we got to see in 2022 so far - even Chris Rock said it, it was the best moment of television - well not television just 2022

I like the idea of a hole in the ground where you can pass back and forth, where can I buy one ? Now I think I recall this name - it did ring a bell, and I remember a survey I did about that when the series was in planing phase, they showed me the concept and asked me questions, I remember the name now, I remember it being so confusing because of a lot of characters - the issue here is that they are mixing two genres together, it's not uncommon now - though soap opera and time travel is kinda weird, that's like mixing Western and Space travel / Sci-Fi Original maybe but weird.

Quote:
The problem I tend to have with story lines like what appears with OuterRange is they become boring and drag on with no real plot or ending.

That's the same vibe I got when I took the survey about that potential series

Question is, can you add time travel elements to Westerns ? Imagine if they did a remake of Dallas, Dynasty, and Knots Landing or even M.A.S.H. with time travel elements

For all ant lovers out there, it is the time of year (May) where ants start to build their nests and form colonies, and for wasps lovers, same. According to some data because of the strange weather, rain fall, warmth, etc, the amount of wasps, ants and other annoying insects will quadruple this year and invade major cities in America and Canada, the insect population is growing really fast, just like COVID, will have to learn to live with them, everywhere you will see ants, rats, scorpions, wasps, spiders, etc.

BUT where are the bees you ask ? 35-45% of the world's population of bees are dead - bees are on the decline and pretty much heading for extinction - what is causing all this ? It's likely the increase of killer WASPS and other insects. With bee shortages around the world this will spark a massive food crisis - particularly foods that are created by bees, and not just honey, but any mainly foods that wouldn't be if bees did not exist, fruits, etc. The prices of fruits will skyrocket - at this point many did not realise that a bee is your best friend, along with most spiders - but now the EVIL insects are taking over, destroying the useful ones - so there are theories here, maybe this is the natural chain of events of our demise, or someone is engineering in a lab those larger / killer insects. I mean 35-40% of bees missing, I don't think people are killing them that much - the bee will die when it stings you, so they only do so as a defense mechanism / last resort - they are willing to die to protect their colony - unfortunately it is not the same for wasps and other insects.

Here is what scientists say:
Scientists know that bees are dying from a variety of factors—pesticides, drought, habitat destruction, nutrition deficit, air pollution, global warming and more. Many of these causes are interrelated.

Is this bee shortage really true or is it some more fabrication to justify crazy prices and enrich the pockets of the rich?

We have the technology to clone humans and transplant brains - can't we find a solution to replace bees, we sure can, and we sure can cure cancer, but that would be inconvenient for the big criminal pharmas and medical organisations now would it.........

yes kill them all ,give death penalty.

In America, when you are on death row you get to choose your last meal, anything you want, indulge, courtesy of the tax payers - fortunately in most states they changed the law, because people were sometimes ordering a lot of stuff and not eating it - so let's see now, man convicted to death by electrocution, he gets to enjoy 12 blueberry pancakes, a pound of bacon, 4 big macs, when millions of innocent people are starving to death - nope, sorry to say but killing those predators and rapists and pedophiles would mean getting off easy - the whole idea is that they have to live in misery and understand the severity of their actions - but there again not all criminals have remorse, some are cold blooded and don't mind spending their entire life in prison courtesy of the tax payers, but wait, you know what they do to pedophiles in prison right ? they get a taste of their own ******* medicine - it's sort of like a code of conduct among criminals that states that it is ok to rape and kill adults, but you don't touch children apparently. The whole system is messed up anyway. If they get put to death they get off easy, whilst the victims live with a mark their whole ********d life, BUT on the other hand if the criminal lives, and have no remorse, they get shelter and food courtesy of the tax payers whilst many are homeless and hungry - BUT if they are put to death, you won't have to worry about those pathetic excuses of a DNA cell to make more victims - BUT the problem is has death penalty and long prison sentences deterred criminals ? NOPE, because crime is going up up up - So what's the best solution then ? Laws are already in place - pedophiles are in a sex offender registry, they should remain there their whole life even if they recover - and they are not allowed to work with kids or be near area with kids (schools) - but it should go further like they should wear trackers at all times even when they are out of jail, depending on the severity, because not all pedophiles are ACTIVE - some are passive, which means they have not done the act, but these people are a ticking time bomb, there are millions of passive pedophiles, they can never get caught though, and there are millions of active ones not caught - so the best solution is AWARENESS, start teaching kids early on in school, self defence, which should be mandatory for ALL - and they should start learning about real life instead of the useless and boring GARBAGE they teach in school - with more AWARENESS from kids AND parents, it should help - because eliminating all the rapists and pedophiles is a tough challenge, as is eliminating all drug dealers and criminals, killing them would only work if we knew exactly who they are and kill them all at once Unfortunately death penalty is like killing one tiny ant out of a colony of billions - it does not bring back the innocent people who died, and it does not erase the scar left to the victims that did survive, or got raped, etc, ever.........

Also what we need other than awareness is ways to catch MORE and MORE of these kinds of people, more sting operations, more shows like Chris Hanson's crime watch, predator vs. hanson, to catch a predator, etc. Unfortunately all that costs money and resources - so let's instead let the crazy people and criminals roam the streets free (note the sarcasm )

I was going to say "lucky you", Autumn is the best season - ideal for all year round. Now I'm assuming that the 27 part was in Celsius and not Fahrenheit Over here that would not be considered Autumn, that would be considered a hot damn summer and when we have 34-45C it's considered a heat wave extremely hot damn summer To me an ideal temperature would be no warmer than 10C - perhaps to you that would be arctic winter!

As far as India, I thought they had hot weather most of the time, but yeah 50C that's dangerously hot, and given the dense population and many people who work outdoors (street shops / markets) I cannot imagine doing that even at half that temp

So, you're fat, you're overweight, you eat too much, you are on fat producing meds, you don't eat healthy, you are full of fat genetics, whatever the reason may be, I just can't see making a mockery of your fat.

Now you have me extremely curious I want to watch just to see what it is about, I'm thinking of creating an account on those review sites so I can review what I watch on prime and netflix

As much as the morbid obesity and overweight is a plague in North America and in the UK, it's no laughing matter - people are getting extremely overweight so young, you see kids and teens in the 400s, 600s pounds. It's easy to make fun of someone and ask them to eat less, food has become an addiction just like sex and drugs, companies are putting stuff in foods to make you even more addicted to them - can you guess what is the ingredient ? Yep you guessed it right, sugar - people are attracted to processed shit and products swimming in sugar - companies add flavour profiles in food to make them taste so good you want more more more - being fat is a vicious circle once you reach that threshold where your body is insensitive to insulin, here's what happens, your body must produce tons of insulin, creating a crash of insulin flooding your blood stream, you then become hungry - and the bigger you get the more food you must get into you. Our body downregulates are metabolism far quicker than it upregulates it, so it becomes so difficult to lose weight down to your normal weight - you lose weight but then you plateasu as your body adapts to the less foods you eat. Some fat people made a choice and are happy with it, it's sad, they make a bad choice for their health - it's easy to say that our taxes pay for their treatments etc, but we tax payers also pay for the drug addicts, pedophiles, rapists, criminals, terrorists, etc, and each person in prison costs tax payers $50k - so yeah movies making mockery out of disability and weight are unacceptable, they should not be on Amazon of all places or any streaming site - I'd LOVE to watch the series actually so I can give them a piece of my review and my mind Not ALL fat people have bad intentions - some are trapped in a vicious circle, some just don't put the effort, but I guess they are misguided or there are other issues.

Quote:
There are fat women that look real nice. They keep themselves clean and dress nice. Plus their personality shines through. They have self respect.

Body weight is not an indication of cleanliness - there are people who are not fat that don't see water and soap too much if at all - then again some people are too fat have more "challenges" to keep certain areas clean., they often need someone to do it for them - the problem is, the industry is exploiting this disease - by offering one of thousands of those stupid diets, all of which are big scams run by criminals - because they simply do not work and offer unsafe and ineffective ways to lose weight, such as significantly eating less and very low calories diet which just mess up your metabolism and make you gain more weight. Too many people go on those diets, fail and give up.

Then you have this invasive procedure called bariatric surgery which shrinks your stomach to make you eat less, basically like birds - or bypass ones to reduce absorption - but the problem is for some reason eventually you gain all the weight back, because it has the same effect as those very low calories diet it literally kills your metabolism, eventually you gain weight as your body downregulates and you eventually adapt and start to eat more.

Some fat people make it career, make fat jokes, degrade themselves in public and make millions of $ - look up may of those famous YouTubers with morbid obesity, they have made a fortune on YouTube, including those mukbangers - some fat people have turned their condition into a full time job and became rich - it's a shame.

It's not like it would make much of a difference if they did still, there's a lot of coke heads around anyway

As far as space, well Musk and Branson want to make tourism out of space, for the filthy and rich who can afford to throw away $250,000 for a ticket to go in a space ship that will fly barely above the earth, so they can enjoy the view from above, because there are not enough images and videos already Humans are not going to travel into space anytime soon - it would be extremely costly to do so, though a 1 day tour of Mars would be nice, next stop, I want to walk the ring of Saturn.....They didn't name the chocolate Mars for nothing - they planned to one day open a new factory on Mars, it will be their premium chocolate versions, only for the rich, it will be called Mars Bars +
