I am changing my case load to a different position at work and went with the coordinator of those cases to each house to do a home visit. Now, when I go somewhere in my car, I get in the car which may or may not be locked, which, if so, I unlock with a key and get in and stick the key in the ignition and start the car. If I want to listen to the radio I push the on button and usually NPR comes on. Now if I don't know where where I'm going, I usually will have looked up the address online on my desk computer in my office so I've got an idea where I'm going. If not, I may google map the address on my work phone and let it talk me to where I need to go. I get to where I'm going, I get out, I shut the door, maybe or maybe not locking it with the button inside the car and so on. Then when I'm done I go through the same sequence and I go back to work. Done. I went to get a hands free tel unit for my car. I've had about three I've gone through and all had an ear piece. So I'm at Walmart for another reason and the two kids I talked too couldn't help me because a hands free tel device for my car without a headset was too much to ask. So I left, went to Best Buy and I was getting the same story until one kid said.. DUDE just buy a Bluetooth stereo they are only 59 bucks. I said give me one he got it, gave it to me and said "boom" I always use the GPS on my phone even when I'm pretty sure I know where I"m going. So now I will be able to listen to it through my stereo . Plus I will be able to voice command calls.

Facial lenses. Weird little apps on your phones that will make you look like a cat or something. My oldest daughter uses this a lot.

Done. Before this car, which is a 1994, I had another car. I took a co worker in it somewhere one day. It was hot. I had no air conditioning. I apologized and said "you can roll down the window if you feel too hot." She looked at the door and said "How?" I answered "That thing....it's called a handle...you roll it."

And flat earth "science" is making a comeback. Why? I mean, what would believing this get you? Why would it matter? I haven't looked at any of the rhetoric, but mostly, I just don't get why?

I saw a meme on facebook that said it's impossible for the Earth to be flat, because cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

I haven't looked at any of the rhetoric, but mostly, I just don't get why? I think the same answer to your question or actually the same question applies to why..... People believe 9-11 was an inside job, those were not really planes, the twin towers had bombs in them.. The Bermuda triangle...Area 51...Bigfoot.. the moon landing was faked....Other people were shooting and not just Oswald on the grassy knoll....Marijuana cures cancer.. Paranormal things... mind readers The Clinton Family had 50 + people murdered....levitation.. Chem trails There are many many more I can't think of at the moment. I think people who believe in these type of things do so because it makes them feel like they are special. That they are not fools like everyone else. And that is way more important than logic and common sense.

I haven't looked at any of the rhetoric, but mostly, I just don't get why? But those reasons are because people feel there IS a reason. That there's a reason for the cover ups...to hide the secrets, the conspiracies; or because it's mysterious. But...believing in a flat earth and saying we've all been duped...to what end? I admit I've never looked at what they say. But most things that people buy into are either enjoyable for their mystery, people like a mystery or the sense of secrecy...that something is being covered up...but this? It doesn't seem to have much 'pay off' so to speak.

Those silly fidget spinners were a trend. They were originally supposed to be a learning aid to special needs children, but they took off.

They took off because there are so many different colors or lights or whatever. My little one brought one home from school and played with it a lot at first. Everytime we see a different color she has to have it, but never plays with any she has anymore. |
