Interesting theory. Sub-Saharan Africa that never developed out of the stone age had women running around with their boobs out. Same for Aboriginies, Injuns, and Mokes. Europe, on the other hand, created the Industrial Revolution during the era of prude. Even the Arabs and Turks had an advanced society during the peak of boob hiding Islam.

I do think the need for men to prove themselves to get sex has been an important driver of civilization.

Slutty women, prostitutes, and gayness all undermine civilization by undermining men's motive to accomplish.

Typical klutzy female. Almost got snappered in the snapper.

This was the subject of several Alt History SF novels after the 1997 book "Guns, Germs and Steel" debuted. Food for thought, indeed.

One of these alternate history novels is "Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus" (actually published in 1996) by Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game fame). Very well written, although you can tell Card ran out of steam at the very end.

No, I don't want any Beni Hana today. Last time, anyway, I got some fingers in the noodles.

Lol, sounds like the Chuck Norris of the Orient.

Even in my twenties I recognized those that were devoid of empathy for their elders, and did not respect their wisdom and experience, but rather mocked them. I have found those folks from back then managed to age without wisdom or useful experiences.

If Karma has a set of rules like the 7 seven deadly sins, I'm sure disrespecting elders is one of them. All of the disrespectful punks I grew up with are all decrepit and have health problems at mid 50.

Off the subject, Japan is worth visiting, but choose the months with nice weather.
8190   Patrick   2024 Apr 26, 8:56am  

Yes, that!

Wife and I went to Japan in August. Don't do that.

Did the wife learn from the Japanese the proper way a woman is supposed to cater to the husband?
8192   Patrick   2024 Apr 26, 10:41am  

Lol, no. But she is always respectful to me. And vice versa.

She must be right next to you when you wrote that. :-)

Is somebody fucking with my dictionary?

The dictionary is being reduced. I frequently run into words I know are spelled correctly, check them, and add them to the dictionary. I've considered getting an old style dictionary for Unix and just putting them all in. We have funny unabridged dictionaries today, and all variants of all spelling. I think there is an effort to reduce people's vocabulary.

I started noticing that right as Donald Trump entered the political arena around the end of 2015. I suspected that it's because the Google masters of the Universe, assumed that right wing people wouldn't be able to express themselves if they fucked with the spell check. All it did was just made us more careful in our writing.

Before then spell check used to provide several words, and often they would include a word more suited than the one I was using. It was convenient but had concerns that Google was taking over critical parts of our brain. So I welcomed the self sabotage of the Chromium spell check.

It was also how I noticed that EVERY browser is based on Chromium, or are at least in lockstep with it.
As Firefox, Opera and Brave also have the same crappy dictionary.
8207   Patrick   2024 Apr 28, 12:19pm  

Yes, most browsers are based on Chromium at this point, including Brave. But I think Firefox is a completely separate codebase. At least it used to be.
