Star Stuff Circle
"We are all connected: To each other, biologically; To the earth, chemically; To the rest of the Universe, atomically."  - Neil Degrasse Tyson

...And through G+, algorithmically. Thanks for the relevance. If you're new to G+, this is a pretty good circle if you want to liven up your stream or you're in the mood to pop a blood vessel or two. IJS. Have a happy Friday.

Random
I'm feeling under the weather, I'm convinced it's because I haven't been eating properly since the flood. I don't get hungry the way I'm supposed to, rather I have to see food or be reminded of it to remember to eat. As such, I'm paying for it with flu like symptoms which have forced me to laze around and not do much, except think random silly thoughts (which I do anyway, but more so when my mind is cloudy and medicated). For example.

Why do some women think baby talk is cute? Why do some men not cringe when their partners use baby talk? Or do they, urgh, enjoy it it? Add to that;

Why do mostly occidental dwellers call their same-aged-not-supporting-them-financially sex partners 'Daddy'? We don't do that over here on the south of the dark continent - we typically reserve 'Daddy' for the man who spawns and/or... more »

If Hell is other people, what is Heaven?
I believe in heaven and hell, not as mythical places post mortem, but as a self-imposed, neurological or pharmaceutically enhanced state of mind belonging only to the living. One of my good friends is concerned her father will die in the arms of his second wife and be buried a Muslim––they are buried on the same day of death––rather than a 'good Christian'. I don't know what to say to that, but I'm beginning to think hell is other people who forego logic and reason in the vain attempt to cling to antiquated myths shrouded in promises of eternal salvation or pits of a hell they've only ever heard about, from the living.

Stevie Wonder is 63 years old today, one of the greatest living musical legends to grace the face of this beautiful planet. Just thinking about his music brings me immeasurable joy. As he sang, he did indeed, many many times, bring joy inside my tears.

Good morning, Random Cornflakes
This poor guy, he posts a rant that his post regarding a metaphysical explanation for black holes was deleted first from the Space then the Buddhist community. I receive the notification on his rant, click into the post - the post was deleted. The ironic unintentional metaphor amuses me. 

So what does the poor guy do? He spam posts his complaint and notifies his circles, then gets lambasted for not formatting his rant correctly. "It's a wall of text! It's TLDR! Use bold! Use italics! Use paragraph spacing! Don't add links in your post! Don't! Don't! Don't!" This poor man. Or woman.

Confession
I need to leave this confession somewhere, for posterity, for science, for beliebers everywhere: Tonight, I went to a Justin Bieber concert. Gulp. I was offered a ticket, decided fuck it why not, and had an interesting time. My ears are bleeding from the screeching twelve year olds, but wow it was something else. Something else entirely. That is all.

Note to my future self: This is why you are now deaf.

Given half the chance, people love to talk about themselves and it's not a bad thing, but there's a time for everything. An example, if someone is venting or ranting, they are talking about themselves which is apropos. However someone then responding to the venter by talking about themselves or how the venter is doing it wrong or what they should've, could've, would've done in that situation, that's just offside.

Perhaps it's just me, but being a good listener sometimes means shutting your pie hole and offering not a single anecdote about your life which I guarantee you that person is too upset to care about. Some see it as showing empathy by using examples from their own lives and some people welcome that brand of empathy, I unfortunately don't. I think it's enough to say "I've been there," sprinkled with genuine words of understanding,val... more »

What are the acceptable limits of PDAs and why? Also, when they are violated, why the icky gut reaction?
This is the question from +Adam Iredale. He goes on to ask, "What if the PDAees are both male? I know what to expect for the answer for both female (the male answer, that is). Do looks count? What if two beautiful people are getting their pash on? Two heinously unfortunately ugly people?"

I guess we could extend this to our online worlds, are couples who salivate all over each other's profiles icky or sweet? What if they're discussing their sex lives? 

What do you think? To PDA or not and how far is too far?

I'm not being negative, but I actually don't like this image. I like the sentiment, but I find the font hideous, the background blergh and the bold double exclamation marks at the end are so not me. I mean I don't go around all crazy eyed screaming Bring it on!!  I'd smile, knowingly in that knowledgeable sorta way, that only experience can teach, that the perennial it will be brought and I'll be obliged to handle it, when I handle it, with not one but at least five cups of coffee. "It's urgent!!" they'll scream and I'll smile, calmly, knowingly.

Have a wonderful day.

I sometimes wonder if those who post Star Wars posts have ever actually watched the movies and understand the canon, or if they're just hopping on Vader's dick lightsaber for eyeballs. 

I'm not an all out fanatic, but I did watch the movies (all of them, the prequels were an unfortunate and moronic experience) and I'm posting this because I'm so very much hopping on Vader's yoga poses and also because I've had too much wine.

Good night G+ May the fourth be with you

Happy Birthday +Ayoub Khote 
For those who haven't circled this debonair Englishman, he's definitely a suggested user, the good kind. Stolen shamelessly from his profile: "I'm a writer, I dabble in photography, cooking, and playing guitar. I usually run IT departments as either manager or head of tech. I like doing it because it's cranial work.I'm a happy man. I'll not say I'm well balanced (even though I am, sort of)... I'd rather say I'm acceptably crazy. I play Group Captain McInnes in HG World. (Note from Dede: No idea what that is, but sounds cool) I also play other voices around the web! I'm harmless... Mostly ;) I am sapiosexual."

Have a wonderful day +Ayoub Khote :D

In case you missed the memo, as I evidently did, when you post something you must stick around to plus and answer every single comment no matter what time of day or night. You must also respond within 4 minutes or face the wrath of an irate commenter.

Technically it's afternoon, but my circadian rhythm says it's morning and the day has just begun. This was one of the first comments I saw this morning:
"Smart girls are usually bitches," concluded a random wise woman who had evidently identified all the smart women of the world and correlated their intelligence to traits considered 'bitchy'. My waking thought for the day:

Considering the Dunning-Kruger effect (where people think they're smarter than what they are, an illusory superiority) how do you know if you're smart or not? And even if you found out you weren't, would you believe it?

Have a wonderful day.
