My First Encounter with Instagram

I'd been putting it off for a long time, trying to decide whether or not to open an account with Instagram, but now I've finally done it. And I'm confused. I'm trying to figure out how it works (it's very different from 'Similar Worlds'), and to me... See More »

I might already have posted about this here on SW, but...

that doesn't matter, because I really like this quote. ☺ It's strangely comforting for me. Death is often said to be like an eternal, dreamless sleep, but I've never been able to agree with that, because it wouldn't be like anything we could ever... See More »

The perception of distance in Australia

I've come across quite a few people who have seriously said that a five hour drive (for example) is "just down the street". What is it with so many (most?) Australians that they think driving for five hours just to shop at IGA or Aldi is in any way... See More »

What do you think she meant by this?

"I so pale". I keep coming back to this clip, perhaps because it's weird and quirky, like me. ☺

"People who are certain of what they believe to be true, tend to be dangerous as well."

I left that observation in response to someone else's comment here on SW. Do you agree?

It's all a show.

All of this. Reality. As Shakespeare once put it (quoting from memory): "All the world's a stage, and we are merely players in it". Anyway, that's my favourite conspiracy theory right now, and I'm sticking with it. ☺

Letting go of the past.

It's time to just toss it aside. There's no point in just hanging on to things that served their purpose but are now just holding me back. Nostalgia is one helluva drug, as they say. Don't become addicted.

"Frequencies"?

The word "frequency" is used quite a lot by those who subscribe to what we'd commonly label New Age beliefs (ex. astral projection, "channeling", karma and so on), but to what are they referring? Frequencies of what, exactly? A frequency is how often... See More »

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 »

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... See More »

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 »

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?

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 Assignment

I 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 »

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... See More »
