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.

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?

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

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

WOW!
Close your eyes for a couple of seconds and they'll flip back over.

Is somebody fucking with my dictionary?

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.

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.

He's probably messing with the woman that constantly abuses him. You are not likely looking at the reason she attacked the rooster, by rather why the rooster attacked her.

I think it's likely she is cruel to animals on a regular basis.

When I did dog rescue I noticed how animals are very rarely mean spirited or cruel. I cannot say the same with human beings most people are cruel in some way.

You need to take your meds and chill out.

I had mean red rooster like that. He would always attack nprovoked. My young daughters could pick him up. He never menaced them.

Dude,animals don't just tend to randomly attack people and she beat that animal.over and over again

Saying what you said to me isn't constructive. That woman I am betting is sadistically cruel and you are seeing a fear and hate response from that rooster.

It's not funny.

I prefer asian girls over roosters any day.

richwicks says

True in general, but we had roosters, and they sure do randomly attack people. At least it looks random, ie unpredictable. I think it's because they sometimes feel they are defending their hens and territory.

We had to give away the roosters partly because of this behavior. One attacked someone who was visiting us, or rather attacked the purse she was holding. Not sure why.

Yes, that kind of thing seems typical of roosters.

One day I went in the back yard, and the yard was littered with County letter head appraisal sheets, of my property and the neighbors on my street. I envisioned that the appraiser was in my back yard, and saw Carl running at her at full gate leaping and pushing his spurs at her/him. So the appraiser must have tossed the papers and got the hell out of there. A week later our landlord told us, we had to get rid of the Rooster. She said she knows someone in Miami with a farm. She probably took it to a Rooster fighting ring, which I'm sure Carl rang supreme champ. Carl stood about 28 inches from feet to head. And had a wingspan like 3 feet, he was big freaking mean red rooster.

Yes, and if they have the spurs they can fuck you up. Some farmers clip off the spurs.
