We Were Put on This Earth to Rise Above Nature, Not to Wallow In It Poll (11) See Poll OptionsAll too often bad behaviour is excused, because it's said to be just a part of "human nature" to be cruel and greedy, for example. Well, I don't... See More »
The End (of Australia, If She Wins).Apparently, our next Prime Minister will be an orange-haired clown who thinks that running a nation is no more complicated than running a fish-and-chip shop, if the latest opinion polls are anything to go by. I can understand people being really,... See More » (1)
Politics and IQ: Are Liberals Smarter than Conservatives?I would say "yes, we are, by a kilometre" (not mile, because we also don't use those archaic units), but apparently it's far more "nuanced". Even so, according to this article "previous research had consistently shown that people with higher... See More »
Pulse 2006I don't care what the silly movie "critics" or anyone else had to say about this film, I liked it. (1)
"Is Reality Unravelling?" I asked ChatgptAnd this is the answer I got. If by "reality unravelling" you mean, "Is the universe itself breaking down?" then there is no evidence that reality is currently coming apart. If you mean it in a broader sense—many people feeling that the world is... See More »
Cosmic HorrorFor some reason I really like short cosmic horror stories. Like this one. 'Portrait of God' (1)
Joke Names During the EpidemicNot so long ago (back in 2020 to 2022) in Australia if a person went into, for example, a restaurant, that person had to sign a book. You'd write, "Mr. or Mrs. Jack (or Jill) Jones" or whatnot. This was one of the many indignities we had to endure in... See More »
The True Meaning of MAGAOne of the jokes about MAGA in Australia, and perhaps elsewhere as well, is that it stands for "Make Americans Go Away". People in nations other than "America" often complain about the behaviour of tourists from the U.S., that they're loud,... See More » (2)
Coming to a RealisationThat I've almost certainly been wrong this whole time about what we like to term "the supernatural". I have the type of personality that makes it difficult - very difficult - to accept the possibility of there being so much more to life than just... See More »
"You don't have permission to view this photo, or it no longer exists"I left a compliment under someone's photo here on SW, the comment was "hearted" by the person, but now when I go back to check on the image I get the above message; "You don't have permission to view this photo, or it no longer exists". What does... See More »
How Much Time Do You Spend Each Day on this Site? Poll (30) See Poll OptionsI ask because it seems to me that there are some here who never get off it. And that's disturbing.
Tired in SpiritThat's how I am. Not physically exhausted, but... something else, something less well-defined and harder to explain. Right now I don't really care about much anymore, if only because I've been so thoroughly disappointed in everything that I've ever... See More »
Maybe There Are No AnswersTo life's "big questions". Most of us just automatically assume that there have to be solutions to our most pressing issues, and answers to our most profound questions (ex. Is there an afterlife? Is reincarnation a reality?), but what if we're wrong... See More »
Accents. Which Do You Like, Which Do You Hate (or Loathe)?Okay, now this is going to sound a bit odd, but I really cannot stand most Australian accents, especially the really pronounced ones (yes, there is more than one Aussie accent, believe it or not). I guess when you hear it all the time, constantly,... See More » (1)
I Actually Like the Colour Orange, But...I do NOT like the Orange Man, D. Trump! 🤮 Can we just get rid of him already? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? 🥺 I can't wait until 2028. It may be too late by then.
Seeking AttentionI have to confess that one of the primary reasons why I'm even on this site is the attention I receive from just being here and uploading images and discussing certain issues. I don't know why, but I seem to crave it. I don't think that I'm a... See More »
Is this actually true? I don't believe it.Someone under another topic posted this comment in response to a post: (Quote) Why would anyone believe something so obviously silly? 🤔
Why do people have beliefs that are clearly ridiculous?I ask because I just don't understand this; I'm genuinely confused. For example, the belief that many now apparently have that the Earth is flat! Seriously? Are these people just trolling us? Is this all some big joke that I'm not aware of? My sister... See More »
A trip to the cemetery for some much needed peace and quiet. :)It's about the only place I can think of where some idiot's phone isn't going off, or I can hear the incessant noise of traffic in the background, and I live in a country town, not some big city! I hate noise, I can't stand it. That's the main reason... See More »
Why do so many "comedians" laugh at their own jokes?Like this guy. I always thought they weren't supposed to do that. Was I wrong? 🤔 (1)
It really doesn't take much for someone here to be "offended".And then block you. I was just blocked by someone because I simply asked a (very reasonable in my view) question about someone that was mentioned by that person that I did not know, someone named "Miram" and how the asker of the question was... See More »
Is it possible, and perhaps even likely, that most of the world's nuclear weapons don't even work?But they're constantly discussed, because it keeps the ordinary shmuck in a state of perpetual fear, and will therefore be more malleable to propaganda. I ask this question because I've come across quite a few documentaries, if one can call videos on... See More » (1)
"Conservatives" clearly have no clue when it comes to the issue of free speech.Free speech doesn't mean you can slander or defame anyone you don't like, and expect there to be no consequences. People you baselessly accuse of crimes, for example, will fight back, and it should be pointed out that there are defamation and libel... See More »
Anyone else hate the 21st century?Or is it just me? I don't want to start listing all the things I don't like about how the world is now, because that would be one hell of a depressingly long list, but one of the things I'm really bothered by is how easily so many people have... See More »
