Impulsive posting.On 'Similar Worlds', or some other similar site. I've done it a few times here. I've posted some silly rants, only to later on take them down, because going back and reading over them it looks as though I've completely lost my mind. 😂 Ah hell,... See More »
The world's most anticipated obituary.An expression I've come across online, in reference to Donald Trump. I won't name them, but some have said that it isn't fair, or right, that someone like Hayden Panettiere should have died so young, while someone like Trump lives on. Maybe I'm a... See More »
Who will YOU be voting for when you get the chance to? Poll (3) See Poll OptionsIn either the Victorian state election that's coming up soon, or (if you're lucky enough to not live in this disaster-zone of a state) the federal... See More »
Coincidences. Yes, they're real, they happen.All too often I come across people (online of course, but I've met a few in real life) who seem to believe that just because there happens to be an apparent similarity between two events, for example, that there just has to be an underlying (and of...

This may be a bit much for most, but...I'm not 100% sure I'm not actually already dead. Isn't it true (or so it has been said) that the actual moment of a person's death is something they will never experience, that it isn't the way it's so often depicted in (for example) films? In a... See More »
How we used to view paranoia.I can recall a time not so long ago when being called a "tinfoil hatter" was something to be embarrassed about, when openly showing signs of paranoia was something to be avoided and denied, but now it's apparently a sign that one isn't a "sheep".... See More »
Matthew 22:21A passage that wealthy "Christians" like to ignore. The basic message is that the money you think is yours, isn't. It rightfully belongs to the government, so PAY YOUR TAXES and submit to those who rule over you. The authorities were, after all,... See More »
Why don't Americans understand sarcasm?And why do I hear them referring to it as "British" sarcasm, when the rest of the world knows what sarcasm is, not just the British? In Australia it's a high art form, perfected over many generations to the point where we can use it to squash all... See More »
Is it true? "Americans" don't use kettles?I've heard rumours they not only don't use them, but many don't even know what they are. Is this true? Seriously? (1)
The Ultimate ConspiracyAll of the other alleged conspiracies - chemtrails, microchipped vaccines, aliens, UFO's, NWO, MKUltra, reptilian overlords - are all meant to distract the simple-minded and gullible from the real secret, which is the fact that the discovery has been... See More »

Why are so many things thought of as being a "war" on something?Why the belligerent phraseology? Like the "war on drugs", and the "war on terror". A new YouTube channel I've discovered; 'The War on Beauty'. https://www.youtube.com/@thewaronbeauty
Detectives detecting.Why do they so often go at night searching for clues, and when they do they never turn on the lights, but instead use a crappy little torch with an ultra-narrow beam?
Your typical ghost-hunter.Your typical ghost-hunter will stake out a place, with cameras and other equipment, late at night and in the company of at least one other person. Then, when finally something inconsequential actually, finally happens, they'll run screaming as fast... See More »
Are NDE's actually what so many people think they are?Near-Death Experiences. A term coined by Dr. Raymond Moody in his book "Life After Life" (1975). I've had an interest in them for quite some time now, but I have to admit I do not think they're really all that special anymore, mainly because it seems... See More »
Why do so many ghosts just love to rattle things around, or knock things over?I mean, is that all they're capable of? Is that how they think they'll get our attention? Why don't they try something different instead, like write messages on a steamy mirror? That would work for me.
What will come of this?You know; the chaos of the world in the year 2026. Is there a reason behind it, one that us puny humans cannot fathom? Is there some kind of cosmic plan at work here, or is it just the illusion of one? How will things be in 2030, or 2040? Will any of... See More »
The Wrong AssignmentI sometimes think that perhaps whoever (whomever? 🤔) is, or was, in charge of handing out the assignments in heaven really botched it when they sent ME to Earth! Someone in personnel seriously screwed up, because I really, REALLY did not want this... See More »
Oh God, why are so many people so... Poll (6) See Poll Optionsthick? Dense. Dumb. Stupid. Obtuse. Clueless. Okay, here's the deal. When I say something, you're meant to take it literally. I don't use... See More »
Do most people even know what socialism is?I ask, because I have some serious doubts about that. It seems to me that most (especially those from the U.S.) think that a responsible government doing what governments are supposed to do anyway (like provide the basics, like free healthcare) is...

How the Current Generations are Defined.Baby Boomers - born 1946 to 1964. Generation X - born 1965 to 1982. Millennials/Generation Y - born 1983 to 2001. Generation Zed - born 2002 to 2020. Generation Alpha - born after 2020. This is how I see it. Basically correct?
Were the 1980's really all that special? Poll (3) See Poll OptionsI'm asking for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because I wasn't there to experience it, but also because of what I actually do know about that decade... See More »
The Gullibility of "Boomers".I actually know a few, because I work with them. Literally everyone at my shop is older than I am; I'm the youngest there. Anyway, my concern is this; why are they so gullible? Especially when it comes to anything to do with the internet or AI. We... See More »
Some of the things I have faith in, because it just makes so much sense to do so.Examples: 1. The existence of an independent, objective reality. This isn't something I, or anyone else, can actually prove, but what are the alternatives? Believing that when I die so will everyone else? Would reality just cease to be, would it pop... See More »
Civilisation isn't going to collapse.Contrary to what all the scaremongers may claim on platforms like 'YouTube', there are no signs that one can point to that may indicate that we're about to be thrust back into the Stone Age. I really do not know why so many people worry about this. I... See More »
