Fred meets a new culture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEDQG-XpCoQ - It’s a common practice for a smart man to act dumb, so the dumber he acts the more funny. - Folks get numbed by the American-laugh-track-need to induce infectious laughter, but maybe it’s not so American when you consider that w...

Funny how he was corrected with the wrong pronunciation, and immediately accepted that as the truth. A bit soft in the head. The fella looks like he's portraying a toned-down Fred Sanford.

His portrayals were inspiring, and he was compensated accordingly, back when the world was just, or at least pretended to be.

But I AM ACHIEVING and have ACHIEVED, EXACTLY, what I WANTED and AM WANTING to. I think that your unrelenting consistency is proof of that, Age. In fact, many folks get thoughtlessly locked into their unrelenting consistencies, and thus become both predictable and somewhat boring in their projectio...

Age, I think she's yanking your chain and leading you on, so what you post is just whistlin' Dixie, spittin' into the wind, just jackin' your jaws for the exercise, just talking past each other.

What happens when fairness answers unfairness? It's a rhetorical question. Because of what does happen, unfairness begins to answer unfairness. Now, it should not be hard to understand. (As you notice, this is the doing of what I advised, at your request, in my previous posting. I answer my own que...

Don't seek refuge in the world*, foolish lad.
That will lead to perdition.

What happened at ILP? Were you so BORING there also that everyone told you to fuck off? There you go again, turning that critical energy outward, not inward. Just sayin', but don't really care to debate the merits of the sayin'. That's cool to do if you're an official authority, such as an elevator...

Hey Age. I see my name attached to yours, as I scroll. You write a lot, I scroll past it, paying attention to the names so I know when to stop. Don't feel special. You're not the only one. At times it becomes a sort of physical ritual, a habitual-type repetitive behavior similar to repetitive factor...

What would you call the genderless energy (unconvoluted by man) that pulses through every particle including your tea? Energy. So, no way of distinguishing the many kinds of energy we might be talking about? There is the energy of frustration. To understand it, look inward at what frustrates and co...

That's sort of the unfair response I was expecting.
