NorEastermass128 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Not a good look from some on here ganging up on @wxtrix or anyone else for that matter. Disagree with each other respectfully. Nobody has to prove their manhood on an internet weather forum. If you do, I feel sorry for you. I’ve been on this board (Easternwx before) since 2007. Some of the worst posting I’ve seen on this forum in 13 years in recent weeks. Looking forward to the winter discussions. Hopefully the toxic attitudes change for the better by then. I miss the days when the villain of the thread was @Dr. Dews when he’d be calling for rains to Maine and dews in a winter storm. Rant over. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have engaged again with all my family and every one of them asked me I was comfortable with them coming over. We need to live our lives as we see fit with the people we choose.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I wish "the thread" would be shut down on all of society, frankly. Humans are in more dire need of a reset and forced multi-generation 'humility' reality check than any species since the dinosaurs saw a fireball from the heavens. This 'doom-scrolling' is a manifestation of a psychotropic stimulus addition. The same one in peered sciences, showcased in 60-Minutes, and tapped into and used (manipulation) by portable comms industries et al... It's sick. And in the absence of real corporeal threat to survival ...at a kind of instinctual level, humans fill that devoid sense of threat with virtual hostility - Industrialized media has 0 compunctions about sloping and spinning headlines to keep feeding the addicts, too - ... Meanwhile, you look down your street in both direction and the environment, under foot and in the air and sky, are all quiescent ...and there is no simultaneous realization that it is all a delusion of dystopian horror because the herein reality is merely a subset of a bigger truth ...that shit just doesn't happen - it is being constructed by the humanity within a bubble cinema... - it is all humanity doing it to itself. We're talking about the general scope - obviously down at the individual, case-by-case level, people are endowed with hardships... but that's an evasive argument when comparing to the whole. The bell-curve contains a convenience addling mass Stop it! ...the plug needs to be pulled... the batteries allowed to die. Because the evolution of this technology is not serving good - it is serving satisfaction without connection to work, where is how the psychological emergence of virtuosity is engendered.... Virtuosity decays at the onset of convenience - the easier the satisfaction is realized. And that ( digression in-coming) is also a catch-22 ...and why the very same evolution that supplies this particular species with the wherewithal to achieve convenience ...effectively evolves toward its own demise. Think of it this way ... Teenager A: a rich kid is given the keys to a new car. Teenager B: a 'less fortunate' son/daughter... washes cars, mows lawns ... takes a job bagging groceries at the local supermarket on the weekends spanning however long it takes in sacrifices.The two teenagers end up with the same car... Which teenager is most probably destined to heap said car first? Humanity functions on whole, as a macrocosmic analog of those exact same appreciation modeling/'tendencies.' Human species A is given easy access to survival and entertainment... Human species B works very hard and toils to realize those same advantages... Which one ends up in a heap first. It's all related though ... being given anything...be it free cars, are free access to 'dirty laundry' and drama of unfiltered and un-appropriately analyzed non-categorized information ... it becomes unprincipled because human beings do not intrinsically connect value to anything they are given for free - and the advancing evolution that allows humanity to manipulate its own environment supplies successive generations with satisfaction for free. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, she didn't put words in your mouth by saying "insulting" - because ... people do not typically characterize others as, purposely antagonistic and/or awful ... unless they feel they were being insulted - so... her assumption there is fair.

Thank you, wxtrix, a little search and I was introduced and entranced by Edith Sitwell. Of her many quotes, of which yours is one. Four others caught my eye: “ I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.“ “ I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it” “ Good taste is the worst vice ever invented” “ Poetry is the deification of reality.” some of Ms Sitwell’s quotes can easily be taken to heart,.
