  1. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    Is thanksgiving dinner like Christmas dinner ? I used to work at the hospital over Christmas (as I didnt like Christmas , and penalty rates for working then skyrocket ) . people all getting together that do not normally, or even may not want to ... but ; 'family' ! .... 'Christmas' . I won't detail what a Christmas dinner can lead to ( as it didnt make me laugh ) , let's just say I would be busy in emergency and mortuary . ( aside from other reasons , like sport, motor vehicle / recreational accidents. ) Stay safe folks - dont let your drunk turkey drive at Christmas !
  2. The Height of Idiocy

    Well, I have seen computer graphics' in art galleries but it was not AI art . I have seen video art in galleries but that is not AI art . What I am saying is , AI art like the below example , is never gonna make it into a gallery . Now THAT ^ is the height of idiocy ! I will also tell you what is a higher form of idiocy ; claiming 99 % of artists are unaware of AI art because they choose to keep humanly painting and not switch to the 'dumb downed computer assisted version ' and continue with their chosen media ... AND find success in a gallery and you cant ... and you find them clueless frightening and amusing . Thats what you think : " But 99 percent of artists are unaware of such things. They continue with endless exhibitions in traditional galleries, clueless about what's really happening. It’s both frightening and amusing!" tell you what Lois, why dont YOU give up your preferred medium of art and start painting ? are you unaware of real art ? 99% of AI artists must be unaware of real art . You and them are clueless ... amusing ... but not frightening .

  9. Transgender Q&A

    ... a new reality for them. ... yet previously ; " Being confronted with a trans-person has no bearing on how the individual views themself. " I must have misunderstood you . You must have meant ' if one is confronted by * a trans person's self confrontation about their own new reality should have no bearing on how they view themselves . * or maybe they 'catch ' the confrontation, or get infected by it ? ( ie . bad 'repair job' )

  14. The Height of Idiocy

    It is not 'painting' though . Painting is a visual art, which is characterized by the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix"[1] or "support").[2] The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, may be used. One who produces paintings is called a painter. 'Unaware ' ... 'clueless' ... 'amusing ' ? ' The Height of Idiocy ' did seem a good title for that post though .
  15. Lois Collection

    Okay good . Now, if you want to sell them , you must assume there are possibly some people that might want to buy them ? .. and that they would have a reason to buy them . and that should answer your question to me ; Why would you want to buy one ?

  17. Stranger things

    Well, not so 'strange ' , but in the spirit of the above ; Bessie Stringfield (born Betsy Beatrice White; 1911 or 1912 – February 16, 1993) taught herself to ride at 16. At 19, she travelled across the USA, riding through the 48 lower states, Europe, Brazil and Haiti, earning money by performing stunts at carnivals. Bessie was refused accommodation and often slept on her bike at petrol stations because she was black. She was also denied prize money at flat track races because she was female. When the war broke out Bessie enlisted as a US Army courier, tirelessly riding for four years and crossing the USA eight times. She was met with racism and was deliberately knocked of her bike by a guy in a pickup truck for being black in the south. Bessie moved to Florida where she was told black women aren’t allowed to ride by the police but rode anyway. Bessie eventually became known as the ‘Motorcycle Queen of Miami’ and was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. .

    Hey Maddie , I saw a doco on TV and we are needing workers apparently , some special jobs have some sort of assistance available . Not sure what you skill set is but .... I knew previously we need agricultural workers but this doco was talking about needing , of all things, 'tour guides ' ! They had a British guy working as a guide in Australia to show tourists Australian things and others guiding 'Adventure tours' and being ' assistants' , taking people canoeing down rivers, camping . etc . They are offering training for some jobs as well ! Its crazy, I know - even though we have our own unemployed . I dont know if it helps or not - I just saw it and thought of you . You could start here ; https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list ( " The following visas are available to individuals who are qualified to work or train in an eligible skilled occupation in Australia and can meet all other requirements : " ) .
  25. AMA: Ask me anything

    And now, shall reveal the innermost secret hidden in nursery rhymes ! Old Mother Hubbard Went to her cupboard To get her poor dog a bone; When she got there, The cupboard was bare, And so the poor dog had none. Who is this ancient and venerable mother of whom it is spoken? She , Verily is none other than Binah, as is evident in the use of the holy letter H with which her name begins. Nor is she the sterile Mother Ama—but the fertile Aima; for within her she bears Vau, the son, for the second letter of her name, and R, the penultimate, is the Sun, Tiphereth, the Son. The other three letters of her name, B, A, and D, are the three paths which join the three supernals. To what cupboard did she go? Even to the most secret caverns of the Universe. And who s this 'dog' Is it not the name of God spelt Qabalistically backwards? And what is this bone? This bone is the Wand, the holy Lingam! The complete interpretation of the rune is now open. This rime is the legend of the murder of Osiris by Typhon. The limbs of Osiris were scattered in the Nile. Isis sought them in every corner of the Universe, and she found except his sacred lingam, which was not found until quite recently Little Bo Peep, She lost her sheep, And couldn’t tell where to find them. Leave them alone! And they’ll come home, Dragging their tails behind them. Bo" is the root meaning Light, from which spring such words as Bo-tree, Bodhisattva, and Buddha. And “Peep” is Apep, the serpent Apophis. This poem therefore contains the same symbol that in the Egyptian and Hebrew Bibles. The snake is the serpent of initiation , the lamb is the Saviour . This ancient one, the Wisdom of Eternity, sits in its old anguish awaiting the Redeemer. And this holy verse triumphantly assures us that there is no need for anxiety. The Saviours will come one after the The Saviours will come one after the other, at their own good pleasure, and as they may be needed, and drag their tails, that is to say those who follow out their holy commandment, to the ultimate goal. Little Miss Muffett Sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and whey, Up came a big spider, And sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffett away. Little Miss Muffett unquestionably represents Malkah; for she is unmarried. She is seated upon a “‘tuffet”; zd es¢, she is the unregen- erate soul upon Tophet, the pit of hell. And she eats curds and whey, that is, not the pure milk of the mother, but milk which has undergone decomposition. But who is the spider? Verily herein is a venerable arcanum connoted! Like all insects, the spider represents a demon. But why a this spider ‘‘ who taketh hold with her hands the King’s Palaces ”? The name of this spider is Death. It is the fear of death that makes the soul aware of its forlorn condition. It would be interesting for us if tradition had preserved for us Miss Muffett’s subsequent adventures. Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner, Eating a Christmas pie. He stuck in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said: ** What a good boy am I! In the interpretation of this remarkable poem there is a difference between two great schools of Adepts. One holds that Jack 1s merely a corruption of John, Ion, he who goes Hermes, the Messenger. The other prefers to take Jack simply and reverently as Iacchus, the spiritual form of Bacchus. But it does not matter very much whether we insist upon the swiftness or the rapture of the Holy Spirit of God; and that it is He of whom it is here spoken is evident, for the name Horner could be applied to none other by even the most casual reader of the Holy Gospels and the works of Congreve. And the context makes this even clearer, for he sits in a corner, that is in the place of Christ, the Corner Stone, eating, that is, enjoying, that which the birth of Christ assures to us. He is the Comforter who places the absent Saviour. If there was still any doubt of His identity it would be cleared up by the fact that it is the thumb, which is attributed to the element of Spirit, and not one of the four fingers of the four lesser elements, which he sticks into the pie of the new dispensation. He plucks forth one who ripe, no doubt to send him forth as a teacher into the world, and rejoices that he is so well carrying out the will of the Father. Here is one for you tantrics ! Hickory, dickory, dock! The mouse ran up the clock; The clock struck one, And the mouse ran down, Hickory, dickory, dock Here we are on higher ground at once. The clock symbolizes the spinal column, or, if you prefer it, Time, chosen as one of the conditions of normal consciousness. The mouse is the Ego; ‘‘ 47u5," a mouse, being only Sum, “I am,” spelt Qabalistically backwards. This Ego or Prana or Kundalini force being driven up the spine, the clock strikes one, that is, the duality of consciousness is abolished. And the force again subsides its original level. ‘‘ Hickory, dickory, dock!” is perhaps merely the mantra which was used by the Adept who constructed this rime, thereby hoping to fix it in the minds of men, so that they might attain to Samadhi by the same method. Others attribute to it a more profound significance—which is impossible to go into at this moment, . Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief; Taffy came to my house And stole a leg of beef. I went to Taffy’s house; Taffy was in bed. I took a carving knife, And cut off Taffy’s head. Taffy is merely short for Taphtatharath, the Spirit of Mercury and the God of Welshmen or thieves. '* My house" of course equivalent to * my magick circle.^ Note that Beth, the letter of Mercury and “ ‘The Magus,” means ‘‘a house.” The beef is the symbol of the Bull, Apis the Redeemer. This is therefore that which is written: Oh my God, disguise thy glory! Come as a thief, and let us steal away the sacraments!” In the following verse we find that Taffy is *1n bed,” owing to the operation of the sacrament. The great task of the Alchemist has been accomplished; the mercury is fixed. One can then take the Holy Dagger, and separate the Caput Mortuum from the Elixir. Some Alchemists believe that the beef represents dense physical substance which is imbibed by Mercury for his fixation; but here as always we should prefer the more spiritual interpretation.
