The Single & Dating Scenes / Topics are off while on date.
« on: March 14, 2023, 02:04:26 PM »
25 years or so ago, our organization's secretary introduced me to her
aunt.
We went on a date at Olive Garden.
All she talked about was her ex and other concerns and nothing
about us or even any question on what I liked to do in life.
Those topics were not related to the date.
But I've come to learn that we have a lot of that in our traditions:
we don't talk about what we have brought people to do.
For example, you hold a Christmas party and invite friends and relatives
to come, and especially relatives. Everyone shows up and you start the
party but then you focus on a particular relative's relationship issue. That
young guy who has had issues with his wife, now the elders step out of
the Christmas party and bring his issues up and even start scolding him.
You go to a funeral and people don't just finish the funeral but argue about one
another's debts and even the deceased's debts or how someone has wronged them.
I look back at my date and I can understand why that aunt didn't focus on getting to
know each other but on her not getting over her ex yet. Many of us really can't
separate situations.
I recently attended funerals and still noticed similar things I experienced 20 to 30 years ago.

General Discussion / Do you drink distilled water?
« on: March 11, 2023, 09:59:37 PM »
I do at times.
Back in my high school years, we used distilled water in the biology lab to clean our
equipment. The teacher said never to drink it.
Now, distilled water is sold for drinking just like other bottled waters are.

General Discussion / Bird couple doesn't feed the cuckoo intruder baby until their youngs are full.
« on: March 06, 2023, 08:51:42 PM »
Cuckoo babies are raised by other mother birds, not their own mothers. Then the cuckoo
babies push all other eggs or chicks off the nests so that only the cuckoo chick
will get the bugs or lizards that are brought in.
Well, this bird couple somehow know the difference among the chicks in their
nests and refuse to feed the cuckoo baby in the nest.

General Discussion / This komodo dragon uses both its mouth and tail to beat down the baby goat.
« on: March 06, 2023, 08:33:54 AM »
Very powerful tail attack. Just look at how the dragon swings its tail at the goat's legs to take the baby goat down.

Just in case you are wondering why the videographer doesn't stop the attack: komodo dragons
are protected in Indonesia and they are fed with goats and other live animals like hogs.
