Walking Backwards is Good for One's Health
During the 19th Century, the activity of "retro-walking" was little more than an eccentric hobby, but today research is revealing it can have real benefits for your health and brain.
On an apparent wager to win $20,000 (about £4,250 at the time), a 50-year-old cigar-shop owner called Patrick Harmon embarked on a curious challenge in the summer of 1915 – he planned to walk backwards from San Francisco to New York City.
With the aid of a friend and a small car mirror attached to his chest to help him see where he was going, Harmon made the 3,900 miles (6,300km) journey in 290 days, apparently walking every step backwards. Harmon claimed the journey made his ankles so strong that "it would take a sledge hammer blow to sprain them". READ MORE...
Get Yourself Ready
Some of us will stand in long lines the day after tomorrow as after Thanksgiving sells draws in hordes of people looking for bargains.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas is pretty much a dead time for businesses as they wrap up FOURTH QUARTER ACTIVITIES, pay out end of the quarter dividends, and bonuses for some staff members.
New Year's Eve is just another reason to get drunk and smoke a few joints of marijuana as we welcome in 2024 in a mental maze of being HIGH.
And... ALL THE SHIT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN...
Marketing Wizards look for new ways to convince the general public to waste their money buying something that they don't need to justify the bonus for 2023 for doing the same thing.
Many of us make more money than we really need, live in multiple houses that we don't really need, have a plethora of expensive vehicles that we don't need as we try to spend the money we have and in turn justify the need to earn MORE money.
None of us who are in this kind of financial situation give a rat's ass about all the families and individuals living at or below the poverty line because we believe in our HEARTS that if we can do it, so can they...
What a frigging stupid and imbecilic thing to think. Do you think they actually want to live at or below the poverty line? What do you not understand about some people being mentally challenged, making it physically impossible to achieve the same results that you have.
When you put a rat in a cage and electrify all six side of the cage, the rat will simply give up, lay down on the floor of the cage and DIE.
The rest of the Americans are treated like Pavlov's Dogs and no matter how many time they hit the lever, they will never get anything to eat, even though the lever worked before.
You're saying these people are like you?
Do you think everyone is like MICHAEL JORDAN? And can be like him if they just spend more time practicing...
People may be stupid as shit, but they are not that stupid.
Russia Against LGBT Movement
Russia's justice ministry has filed a motion with the country's Supreme Court to ban the activities of what it calls the "international LGBT public movement" as extremist.
It is unclear whether the ministry's statement refers to the LGBT community as a whole or specific organisations.
It said the movement had shown signs of "extremist activity", including inciting "social and religious strife".
The ban could leave any LGBT activist vulnerable to criminal prosecution. The extremist label has been used in the past by Russian authorities against rights organizations and opposition groups such as Alexei Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation. READ MORE...

Pro Palestine or Pro Israel
Sure, it is their right to say that because of our FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS in this country, but what this movement fails to grasp is that:
Number one - NO ONE CAN CONTROL THE JEWS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ATTACKED
Number two - is the Jews pleaded with HAMAS to let the Palestinians who wanted to leave the Gaza strip leave and HAMAS refused
Number three - name calling the President of the United States is just going to make him and the Democrats more resolute to support Israel
Number four - if this movement was really sympathetic to innocent civilians being murdered, then they should be sympathetic to Israel for all the women, children, and babies that Hamas killed.
Number five - since this movement ignores NUMBER FOUR, then most Americans outside of the protesters are going to IGNORE the movement
Because of these five points the Palestinian Movement is going to have about as much influence as a fart in a spacesuit.
Protesters say the other side is wrong
The other side says the protesters are wrong
If both sides are wrong, THEN NO ONE IS RIGHT
If you don't understand what I just wrote, then you have no concept that these issues can only be resolved by COMPROMISE....
And, if you don't realize that, then who is really stupid here???

Supersonic Nuclear Powered Plane
The vision of Barcelona-based designer, Oscar Viñals, The Hyper Sting would travel at a speed of 4,287 km/h (2,664 mph). That’s more than three times the speed of sound and almost twice the speed of Concorde. Put simply: it would cut the transatlantic flight five-fold.
It’s being hailed as the potential next generation of air travel – but it’s not the first foray into supersonic passenger air travel. Viñals is the designer behind other large-scale, fast-flight projects, including the Sky Whale and Big Bird. It would fly 170 passengers within its 328ft (100m) interior – that’s 100ft (30m) longer than the Concorde.
Plus its wingspan of 169ft (52m) dwarfs Concorde’s 85ft (26m). READ MORE...
Unlearning Knowledge
There was a student who wanted to learn as much knowledge as possible which led him to search and find the GREAT TEACHER who was living high up a mountain side in a cave. After climbing up the mountain and entering the cave, he found the GREAT TEACHER and told him the mission he was on. First, the GREAT TEACHER said, let's have some tea.
When the tea was ready, he handed the searching student a cup and saucer and began pouring the tea. The tea filled the cup and began pouring over the cup, onto the saucer and onto the floor. GREAT TEACHER the searching student exclaiming, the tea you are pouring is overflowing and spilling onto the floor.
The GREAT TEACHER stopped, smiled and said, just as you must empty the cup before you can put more tea into it, so too must you empty the mind before you can put new knowledge into it.
What the hell does this story mean?
Preconceived ideas and biases will PREVENT you from learning new knowledge because this new knowledge does not fit the paradigm of the old knowledge. Therefore, this knowledge will be rejected.
Over the years, new knowledge in the form of new ways of teaching have been rejected by the educational establishment because they did not fit the old paradigm.
Similarly, companies today believe: IF IT AIN'T BROKE THEN DON'T FIX IT.
This mentality is worse than just being foolish and stupid because it can bankrupt your company.
Not only is this a problem in EDUCATION and BUSINESS, but it is also becoming a problem in GOVERNMENT.
That is to say, a new generation is hungry to take over the reins and ride the new horse of government. The current philosophy is that SOCIALISM is bad and that every country that has adopted SOCIALISM has destroyed itself.
That is not necessarily true.
There are quite a few countries that have decided that taking care of the people is more important than fighting wars or than trying to control the world. Sweden and Norway come to mind.
Some believe that CAPITALISM and SOCIALISM cannot lie in the same bed... well... maybe they can and we just have not given it a try because of our paradigms.
It is time to turn the country over to the next generation and see what they can do with the USA...
Large Structure in Space
The universe is more connected than you might think: In recent years, scientists have used new tools and techniques to map the “cosmic web,” which is made up of intertwined strands of gas structures known as filaments that link galaxies. Now, a team of researchers have identified a new “large-scale structure” in the universe that they call the “Cosmic Vine.”
The researchers hail from numerous universities and institutions across Denmark, Chile, the U.K., and the Netherlands. They published a preprint of their work to the arXiv server on November 8. According to the study, the Cosmic Vine was spotted after poring over data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), humanity’s most powerful tool for peering into the far reaches of space and time.

UPS to Use 3,000 Robots in Warehouse
United Parcel Service just opened its largest warehouse, a sweeping 20-acre facility on the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky. But don’t expect the break room to get too crowded.
The package-handling giant plans to fill the $79 million facility with more than 3,000 robots by the end of next year to handle tasks like lifting and reduce the need for manual labor. That level of automation means UPS can run the warehouse with about 200 workers, which are expected to increase over time. READ MORE...
Employers Not Hiring College Grads
The study, known as the Freedom Economy Index (FEI), a joint project of job recruiting service RedBalloon and PublicSquare, surveyed opinions from 70,000 small businesses between Oct. 25 and Oct. 30, with 905 respondents, a 3% margin of error and a 95% confidence level.
When asked about the "return on investment" of higher education, a whopping 67% of participating employers responded "strongly no" when asked if they believed institutions of higher education were "graduating students with relevant skills that today's business community needs." READ MORE...
