In response to Taking a lesson from Crows on Thinking by ILIkeTravelling:

George Bernard Shaw once said "Most people think two or three times a year, I have achieved international reknown by thinking once or twice a week."

Here is an article from the beeb which talks about some Crows that seem to be doing more actually planning than most of us seem to get to each day. (at least before coffee)

In response to The Ones Who Walk Away from Omalis
by bebopdelux:

Any one remember that short story? Okay, There is a city were everything is fine and lovely. All the people are happy and live in comfort. Exept one: One child in a cell, living in fear. The deal is this: The whole of the city lives in comfort and peace as long as one child pays the price. The price of fear, hunger, and hopelesness. Everyone in the city has to view the cell with the suffering child. Now we come round to the title of this story. The city is called Omalis. Would you walk away from Omalis?

In response to The Most Private Thing I'm Willing to Admit Here
by fritz57:

Why do so many say "nothing"? the question is not "Whats the worst thing you do/did." How about an answer like "I love/hate Disney", "I don't vote", "I snore", "I have stuffed animals on my bed". What is the most private thing you are willing to admit. C'mon, this is an opportunity to give an insight into your personality. Not a plea to show your dark side.

Good point....perhaps I'll change my 'nothing' answer to: oh, I don't know....'
'don't shave armpits and legs in the winter'.....but 1st I'm gong to check as to what insight can be gleaned into the personality of the author of this post...

In response to new & popular
by questionor:

Ok the new & popular thing looks cute but it needs some work.
It needs that little entry thats at the bottom of all the recent journal things that lists a persons age/location/okcupid type/etc.

Also I clicked the "why" button. It says: "The following people are popular now with people just like you." Ick, the first person on my screen was 19 years old. There are people just like me, i.e. 37 years old who she is popular with? Can I just say ewwww? I'm like 1 year short of being twice her age.

I agree this new and popular thing is 'cute'. Definitely needs age/location and okC type would be awesome!

I clicked on a couple of these profiles, and the guys were younger than my 24 yr old son. That's a HUGE eeewwwww!

In response to thoughts on OkCupid
by dih123:

OK, so I've been on-and-off on OkCupid now for a couple of months, and here are some initial observations:

(1)Unwieldy interface:
The interface is bad - I have a tough time navigating around, and it seems like the software is quirky and sometimes very slow

(2)spam robots:
At first glance, it's misleading. After all, who doesn't want to be flattered by lots of very forward emails from anonymous young women with "come-hither" type pictures? But then, one might notice the conspicuous absence of any sort of profile, writing, test-taking or other evidence that would indicate the presence of a human behind the profile. But I can't figure out what the ultimate, profit-making angle is behind these. And, since I haven't yet responded to one of them, I don't suppose I will.

(3)welcome to cliche-istan:
Alot of the profiles that are written by people, it seems, could just as easily have been written by a fairly simple computer program - a 21st century version of Mad Libs. "Love to laugh," "Movies...walks...travel."

(4)Old fashioned weirdos:
Before I left for overseas, back in the mid-90s, I helped friends beta-test an internet dating site they were setting up at Stanford. I won't say which one, because it's still around (and no, it's not okcupid). Back then, when we cast our net, we really found some hard core weirdos, very old school. This doesn't really seem to be the case with okcupid, maybe because the site is deliberately designed with sort of a gen-Y cynical smirk in mind. I do, however, see the usual fair share of morons (for example, men who accidentally post a profile as a female, etc.), and the stuff my female friends who are on here get is just awful at times.

Agree with point #1 ~ But #s 2,3,4 ? Nope!

2. The so-called 'spam robots' in mho, are real people dicking around...the equivelent that we women get, are guys who are: often widowers, saw our lovely pix & intriguing profile, absolutely fell in love with us, are 'honest and careing and looken for a speshal lady just like you, to love and cherish', etc,etc....the 'love angle' for girls, the 'lust angle' for you guys...

3. Have only seen Cliche-istan once or twice since visiting OKC the last 6 months. I, however, am constantly impressed ~ by the originality/humor/intellect and whatever else people here at OkC use/create/devise to separate themselves from the electronic herd.

4. Umm, 'old-fashioned wierdos"? Q'est-ce que c'est cela?..(yeh, Cupid was started by Harvard guys, not Stanford guys....and i think that if there were a few female &/or arts-ey administrators the site would improve, interface esp)
Oh, I see what you mean now....Like the fat Canadian 20-something (is that gen y or z?) kid with cobalt blue hair(Marge!), gross piercings and ugly tatoos ~ spread out in what I'm sure that he thought was a provocative position ~ im's me 'Do you like to watch men masturbate?' Eck. I know. I like watching a lover stroke off in front of me, but definitely no to a pathetic, strange, child in cyberspace.

That's all. Any comments, folks?
