Re: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/12/ ... inclusive/

"Logan Dubil went to the University of Pittsburgh to ask students about whether or not the classic Christmas song
'Frosty the Snowman' is inclusive enough, as the song assumes Frosty’s pronouns"

:scratch: Hmmm ...

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27)

Since this song was written long after God created male and female
(but still long before God then created he and she 'they'), the song
just reflects the increasingly distant pro-God pronouns. :roll:

:bana: Why not adapt the song to modern times, like this
(assuming 'Bro' also gets new pronouns):

Frostee the Snow Bro

Frostee the Snow Bro, was a jolly happy soul,
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made of coal.

Frostee the Snow Bro, is a fairy tale, some say.
They were spheres of snow, but the children know they came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on their head, they began to dance around!

Oh, Frostee the Snow Bro, was alive as they could be;
and the children say they could laugh and play,
just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
look at Frostee go.

Thumpety thump, thump, thumpety thump, thump,
over the hills of snow.

Frostee the Snow Bro, knew the sun was hot that day,
so they said, "Let's run, and have some fun, before we melt away."

Down to the village, with a broomstick in their hand,
Shouting here and there, all around the square,
"Kids, catch us if you can!"

They led them down the streets of town, right to the traffic cop;
and only paused a moment, when they heard cop holler, "Stop!"

For Frostee the Snow Bro, had to hurry on their way,
But they waved goodbye, sayin' "Don't you cry,
we'll be back again some day."


OMG! Is 'Bra' feminine for 'Bro' ?! :shock:
"Hey Bro, me and my Bra are goin' to the pub tonight.
Join us there and bring your favorite Bra!" :lol:

Rod :D

"ACLU expert says Elf on a Shelf not healthy for kids"

"I know a lot of families just see this as a fun thing, but it’s worth thinking

"Alexa, what should I wear today for the cameras at the mall ?"

"Dad who said 'Let's Go Brandon' on Santa tracker livestream says he's since been threatened"

:idea: Actually (and in the spirit of "joke"), "Let's go, Brandon" seems the intended meaning
with "Let's go" meaning "Let's go forward from here" and "Brandon" the nickname
alluding to that emotional "Bronx Cheer" by a like-minded chorus weeks ago. :roll:

"TikTok Diagnosis Videos Leave Some Teens Thinking They Have Rare Mental Disorders" :o

:idea: However, "Borderline-personality disorder is almost never diagnosed in adolescents,
because their personalities are still forming and because some symptoms, such as
having unstable personal relationships and exhibiting impulsive behavior,
are hard to distinguish from typical teen behavior" ;)

:scratch: Who can tell :?: :!:
Relying on TikTok for serious information instead of just entertainment
and 24/7 social connectivity may indicate a different mental disorder.

"supply of Bitcoin is dwindling, with only around 6% of the token left in circulation on cryptocurrency exchanges" :o

"Fearing further volatility in the price of Bitcoin, many investors lock away their tokens in ‘cold storage’, or offline wallets, separate from internet access and therefore considered one of the safest methods for holding Bitcoin, analysts say. Others continue to store bitcoins on exchanges while not trading them, which means the actual volume in circulation may be even lower than 1.3 million." :roll:

:idea: Helps prove that "bitcoin" is not suitable as a "medium of exchange" ...
for without the medium there can be no exchange (of goods and services). ;)

"Flight 2022 Instructions"

:bana: Very positive, uplifting pre-flight instructions, but might be a tough flight ...
if, for example, you felt pressured to have your child vaccinated then that child died
soon after of cardiac arrest or other probable side effects. :(

:idea: Best guess: Human emotions are necessary alarms to instruct
how we're immediately reacting to crises, alarms that cannot
be ignored but can be acknowledged then "defused" ASAP,
depending on similar lifetime successes (or at least,
vicariously by observing how others recover). :finger:

"January comes around and many of us put a huge amount of pressure on ourselves to lose weight and be 'healthy'.

"She also shares meals you can eat to lose weight in a healthy, balanced way,

grains, pastries, ice cream, candy, fruit, soda, juice? ;)

"UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) codes are snippets of text added to the end of a URL

helps identify both sender and recipient of the link that you copied.

:idea: Good marketing feedback, but also a way to identify info pushers? :roll:

Best guess: If mouse pointer over URL link shows UTM code,
go elsewhere for this info (if you don't want to be tracked). ;)

(popular trend is that "gender identity" is the more significant "gender"). :roll:

Re: https://www.studyfinds.org/microplastic ... -diseases/
"Microplastics contaminating food and drinks may be fueling a dramatic rise in bowel diseases" :o

:idea: The good news is that, except for eating certain ocean fish, it may easy to reduce consumption of microplastics by never microwaving food in disposable plastic containers, limiting plastic-bottled drinks (and drinks served in plastic cups), and avoiding convenience foods in plastic containers (especially if kept hot in a store, like baked chicken) :!:

Since "bowel disease" is mentioned, this suggests that the body is trying to eliminate microplastics and could use more beneficial fiber (chia seeds and raw carrots are good sources ... but there are many others). BTW: The immune system continually dumps toxins and other debris into the "sewer", expecting that dietary fiber will help eliminate this quickly (and not linger to cause bowel disease?). :roll:

:arrow: As for airborne microplastics, masks probably help even if they don't catch microscopic disease particles
(but these may be attached to sneeze droplets that ARE caught by masks). ;)
