Scientific rigor in one aspect of life does not preclude magical thinking in another. Sadly.
Healthy skepticism is a lifestyle.
She’s always been a believer in magical nonsense. My dad is a hardcore Catholic… to the point where he had to make sure there was a church nearby when he want on vacations around the world, which they did quite frequently. My mother is an irreligious Jew who believes in ANY kind of woo based bullshit she stumbles across. Astrology, psychic healing, seeing auras, channeling. All of the major bullshit that came to prominence in the new age movement (thanks Ms Blavatsky).
As such, I believe in nothing of the metaphysical nor spiritual. It’s all copium against the glory of our universe that cares nothing for our existence.

Definitely strains of my stepdaughter and her son.
I don’t know if/where he is on the spectrum, though there’s definitely a dash of undiagnosed bipolar with a heavy dose of self medication now. But as a kid, his rage issues were attributed to a WIDE variety of causes:
- autism
- oppositional defiance disorder
- ADHD
- gluten allergy
- some sort her doctor ordered during her c-section
- etc
Ignoring that most of it stemmed from abandonment issues with her. She only paid attention when he had a meltdown, so he very quickly figured out that it was the surefire way to get something from her.
All so she could feel less guilty about being a miserable parent. Yay.

It certainly was.
Much worse is that she wasn’t just some dyed in the wool hippie, but a fairly well known microbiologist. So she had at least a passing acquaintance with the scientific method.
At least she got me vaccinated.

That’s my mother in a nutshell.
TBI when I was 7, surgery was scheduled to reduce swelling on my brain, and she instead opted to feed me smoothies of nothing but raw spinach and water. Also took me to some kind of new age healer.
So yeah, thanks mom.

Fled New Jersey when I was 2 (months) and have only been back to visit relatives a couple times.

What an incredibly stupid take by these jeenyuses.
Then again there’s precedence with a moron from Fox ‘News’ who prefers Trek to Wars since it’s ‘not woke’.

The name hurts. Not because of how ridiculous it is, but how I could see that happening now…

Better than the various real estate agent postings I’ve seen in my area.
No delightful kerning issues, just a avalanche of fonts (some variants of the same typeface, must just completely different) with no rhyme or reason.
Something akin to a serial killer manifesto.

I sort of knew the overview of all that, but thanks for the detailed clarifications! :)

Cheetahs are just so wonderfully weird. Basically big housecats that are also rocket powered apex predators.
Also, I love The Cheetah Whisperer.

Or just train their fascists opponents at the School of the Americas. Then kablammo, we help overthrow a democracy AND create an enemy justifying more military action in the region.

I recently got a new Kindle and have been enjoying reading a lot more. Though to be fair, it’s far easier to hold a tiny computer book in the bath instead of a 1000 page hardback. And more waterproof!

In real life he’s a covid denying, Qanon believing, Trump loving, Nat-C dominionist.

Jim Caviezel in Person of Interest.
One of the better shows of the last 20 years, and horrifyingly prescient about the surveillance nightmares therein, but he’s an ambulatory plank of wood.
What’s worse is that many of his co-star are putting in some of their best work.

Pay for Cool Zone Media. I have no qualms supporting their work, even if most of what I listed to is the work of the Honorable Doctor Reverend Robert Evans.
