    Finally trying to build a homepage!

    I know the feminists would complain if they were both women, since they like equality. I could put an androgynous alien on there.

    Finally trying to build a homepage!

    I am having a few goes at getting the root of the site sorted. It is harder than you think! Take a look. https://themindtavern.com/ Two images I am looking at are: https://www.pexels.com/photo/grayscale-photo-of-man-thinking-in-front-of-analog-wall-clock-1194196/...

    Ancestry DNA

    I am tempted to check out my origins. Watched a YouTube video today where they were saying their father was 100% Scandinavian, so they thought they would be perhaps half Scandinavian. They took the test and found they were Spanish! Shock! So, tempted myself. Anyone here done it?

    What sex is your brain?

    I feel beat anyway. I've got a chess match in 40 minutes and I feel shattered. My play will be feeble tonight.

    What sex is your brain?

    Bee, you got the same as me on the angles test then! But since men generally outperform women on this test, you can say you kinda beat me on it, even though you didn't! You did better than your cohort compared to me.

    Jordan Peterson - this guy is amazing!

    I am a big fan of this guy. He has recently shot to fame for a number of reasons, many involving the protection of free speech. He is a professor and clinical psychologist, who is very very smart. The following interview is compelling. The evidence for that is in the 12M views.

    How many genders are there?

    I'm sure the definition never used to be that! Is it Google being politically correct or is it that pressure has been brought to bear on the lexicon of all things relating to gender? The current definition fits into your perspective Doc, although I don't agree with it!

    What sex is your brain?

    Over 10 years ago, I took a test on the BBC website about what sex my brain was. It attempts to determine if you are more on the masculine or feminine side. I was prompted to post this based on Uncles comments that he feels he falls on the more feminine side. With this in mind, I am posting a...

    How many genders are there?

    In the news recently, there was someone who wanted to alter their age. Their argument was that people can change their gender identity, so why not age. They felt discriminated against due to their age, being in their 60's I believe. Imagine being younger than your children - some kind of time...

    Great dinner recipes

    Just came across this guys YouTube channel yesterday. He has tons of views and for good reason. The recipes look great! It is very much of American flavour, with lots of cheese in things! They don't look exactly healthy, but they do look tasty...

    Harvey Weinstein - guilty or not guilty?

    Like a moth to the flame...I knew I shouldn't, but I just couldn't help myself. :ROFLMAO:

    How long to create a habit

    You bring up a good point Doc, which is that the simpler the habit, the easier it is to form and the less effort. Perhaps simple is not quite the right word, as eating less is simple, but very difficult! But an easy physical action would be easier to forge, and much faster to establish so it...

    Harvey Weinstein - guilty or not guilty?

    Men have things they have to think about too: 1. Can I get away with a comb over? 2. Why do I have to wear my cuban heels to be attractive? 3. Will they still love me when I tell them I'm their dustman? 4. Can I order the lemonade at the bar and still be gruff? 5. Would they still want to date...

    How long to create a habit

    Ok, my insight was that "how long does it take to create a habit?" is actually the wrong question. Habits are something you do regularly. Instead, a better way to look at it, is how easy is it after what time period? When you start off a habit, it is difficult. It takes a lot of energy and...

    Harvey Weinstein - guilty or not guilty?

    Actually, that is not my position, although I can understand why you think it might be. My position is that you cannot say if someone posting #MeToo is telling the truth or not. This brings me to the stance some take that women should always be believed if they come forward with sexual...

    Harvey Weinstein - guilty or not guilty?

    That is what the law is for, to catch the perpetrators as best you can. However, I would like to argue that is the opposite situation to my statement, where there is both a) no proof and b) no due process. I am all for men being caught for crimes they have committed. But I am not for men's lives...

    Intermittent fasting

    One thing to add on the fasting days...I found having a soup really helped. One pot of soup is 300 calories, but that makes up two bowls of soup. So, I would have one bowl at lunchtime and another one about 4pm. That way, the second bowl effectively replaces a snack. They are quite filling so do...
