  2. entertainment

  some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).

  also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .

  It's not so much the yellow car as the path it's on ...

  You mean the curvy highway with lots of twists and turns running top-to-bottom, the length of the entire cartoon?

  Hmmm, what could it be? 🤔

  Okay, I’m stumped. Here are the only four I can’t figure out:

  1) The buzzing bee at the two flowers, one with a “For Rent” sign:

  

  2) Boy with Girl stepping in his balloon:

  
  

  3) Duck with a bag of chips (or something) on its head:

  

  4) Little yellow car:

  

  Other than those, with the help of the other posters on this forum, I think my wife and I have them all!

  NBD: Hard Day's Night - bottom left

  I agree. My wife and I also came up with a separate Beatles’ song for each of those two guys! (I won’t post the titles because I’m at my limit.)

  Rub a dub: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Top of picture towards the middle next to the flag with a crown/tiara on her head.

  Nope. It's a different song.

  Simon: There are a couple that I think are super-obscure (if I even have them right)

  Exactly! My wife and I have 33, maybe 35, so far. But there are a couple that are a stretch and we're not sure if we are right or not.

  That being said, there are some clues in the cartoon that are obviously there for a reason, but we can't figure them out.

  Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

  by minimus in

  i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

  i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

  are we prolonging this virus at all ?

  Interesting question.

  • The short answer is: Yes, absolutely.
  • The longer answer is: It's complicated, but still: Yes, possibly.
    

  Minimus, I know you know what recently happened in Hungary when—on March 30th, 2020—the Prime Minister, Orbán Viktor, seized absolute power and essentially turned Hungary into a autocratic dictatorship overnight.

  Here's a link to a thread I started on that and on which you commented:
  

  • Hungarian Parliament Passes Bill Giving PM Orbán Unlimited Power

  Orbán did what tyrants always do, they use any opportunity that arises to grab more power. In this case it was the COVID-19 pandemic.

  Here's also an on-topic case that's currently happening here in the United States:
  

  • The 115-year-old Supreme Court opinion that could determine rights during a pandemic

  A US appeals court ruled this week that Texas could prevent physicians from performing abortions because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In their ruling, the judges leaned heavily on a 1905 Supreme Court decision against a Massachusetts man who had refused vaccination during a smallpox outbreak (see Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 1905).

  Students of history are always wary of situations like this because we know that people in power who are so inclined have often used them as opportunities to seize even more power as they take away individual rights.

  I'm not saying that it will happen, only that it has happened many times in the past, and it certainly could happen again, anywhere.

  Don't think it can't happen here. It can.

  Covid 19 CENSORSHIP

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  if anyone voices an opinion with which i disagree or even detest, i can either debate it or walk away.. the last thing i want is for someone to be silenced by threats.

  however, it appears that some opinions on social media etc.

  which contradict the official narrative are being muted.

  Hi Minimus.

  I like you too, even when we don’t agree! 👍

  I totally understand that I come across as “thinking I know better than you or most people.”

  Although that is not my intent, I get it. And I’m okay with that. Let me tell you why.

  After being in a cult for 25 years and leaving it at the expense of having my two children shun me for over a decade, I have spent that time working hard to learn how to think clearly and scientifically and to detect bias and cultic thinking.

  Whenever I see bullshit, I call it as I see it.

  As I think you know, I am a high school science teacher with multiple degrees and a Master’s in Education. I earned all of these degrees as I was transitioning out of the cult and after leaving it.

  It’s frustrating for me to see so many members of this forum—people who have left the JW cult and usually lost family members to it—demonstrate that they still have a cult mentality and can’t recognize bias, manipulation or propaganda.

  As LongHairGal observed, everyone on this site is an adult (or should be). If they can’t stand the heat, then maybe they should stay out of the kitchen.

  As a teacher and as a fellow ex-cult member, I’m just trying to share some hard won knowledge and some very painfully earned skills. If that sometimes comes across as arrogant, so be it. It probably only annoys the people that need it the most! 🤣
