Businesses, organizations, and even schools change their logos often—their mascots, color schemes, building designs, interior layouts, you name it, ALL of it undergoes FREQUENT transformation. It seems like the paint barely gets a chance to dry before the “pardon our dust” signs are out in force again. It always seemed wasteful to me, not to mention inconvenient and bothersome. If these businesses really wanted to please me, moving the mayonnaise from aisle 2 to aisle 5 is not a way to do that. I’m sure every college-level marketing course teaches that “studies say” this is all necessary and beneficial to the bottom line. But is it REALLY? I hate feeling like a stranger in my own town. Am I alone in that sentiment? What can Creator tell us?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Problems in Society228 views0 answers0 votesThen there’s the “model year.” MODEL YEAR? When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable.

Christmas decorations were something you bought ONCE and reused year after year. Only the tree changed every year, but it was always the same kind of tree, the same size, and was always in the same corner. But traditions of any kind seem to be an endangered species in the Modern Era, to the point where many are even derided. Thanksgiving is more about football than being thankful. Memorial Day is for barbeque and beer, not visiting the gravesides of the fallen. It’s “Happy Holidays!” not “Merry Christmas!” The home-cooked meal is now in a microwave package. There are young adults who have never boiled an egg or even made toast. And again, many just assume and will even argue that all this is normal and inevitable. Really? All of human history seems to suggest otherwise.

People like to think they can count on their political parties, and have confidence in the future as a result. But we enter an election season where absolutely no one, either supporters or detractors, can say with certainty whether a year from now Trump will be in the White House or the “Big House,” in prison, in other words. Republicans used to be considered “the war hawks” and the Democrats “the party of love and tolerance.” But it feels like roles have reversed. Nevertheless, people are still desperate to believe and have confidence in their party, no matter what, it seems. But such confidence has become fragile, and doubts and alarm in people growing with the breakdown and erosion of expectations.

When a certain outcome is expected, somehow, it comes up short. Violence appears when it’s least expected, and just as mysteriously doesn’t materialize when it IS expected. The use of cell phones and pagers as bombs was something almost no one anticipated. People dread the thought of a nuclear exchange, but maybe they should be more worried about the phone in their pocket. Are these wars being conducted in such a way as to maximize everyone’s CONFUSION and paranoia?

The goal of gaslighting is to gain power and control over the victim, and it can be very effective.” Gaslighting is often done over a long period of time, so the victim may not realize they are being manipulated. Gaslighters may lie about everything, not just big things that could be covered up. Gaslighters may deny things that happened or promises they made. Gaslighters may question the victim’s memory of events, even if the victim remembers them accurately. It seems as if there is a unified strategy on the part of the interlopers, the Extraterrestrial Alliance. Is that what’s REALLY going on, the absolute historic GASLIGHTING of humanity? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 12 months ago • Problems in Society214 views0 answers0 votesPredicting the future has always been VERY problematic, especially in an environment of rapid flux and even chaos. Is it “controlled” chaos? We know the interlopers are time travelers, and if their agenda was truly the gaslighting of humanity, then the ability to predict the future is what is, in fact, in the “crosshairs.” It’s the very attack vector the interlopers go to pains to maximize. Could this be a possible explanation as to why even divine predictions of the near future have been so uncharacteristically inaccurate? If the interlopers are, in fact, making a Herculean effort to create the most unpredictable reality for humanity imaginable, then abrupt change of plans would not be the exception but the RULE. Creator has attributed this to the “fickleness” of the interlopers, but fickleness seems pretty benign in contrast to an intentional campaign to be as unpredictable as possible.

Children who do like to be active, have tons of sports…and other activities to keep them going 24/7, such as amusement parks or activity centers with cycling, climbing, swimming, the list goes on. What about all the children who don’t like any of this? The ones who probably would have loved to be more practical with hands-on tasks, getting mucky and dirty, splashing about for no other reason than to be doing it? How do we find things for them to do in today’s world?” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Problems in Society373 views0 answers0 votesFinding your soulmate, your better half, the partner of your dreams, has never been easy. But lately, it seems to have become exponentially harder than ever before. It is believed that fully half of single men have given up on dating and courting women altogether. There is even a mass movement of men known as MGTOW (mig-tao) or “Men Going Their Own Way.” Critics call this movement “male supremacy,” and hateful of women, but members would dispute that and counter that modern relationships with women are downright dangerous for men—dangerous enough to warrant complete withdrawal and avoidance of any and all non-professional involvement with women.

So it’s become almost a catch-22 situation. Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.

A recent experiment had a male set up an attractive female profile, and it generated 20,000 matches in a just a few hours. A similar reverse experiment set up by a female thinking she could prove there was a level playing field, generated only a few dozen matches to the male profile she created, in the span of an entire month, and none of those turned into an actual date. The female experimenter reported feeling completely dejected by the (for her) shocking outcome of the experiment. Women are overwhelmed with attention, and men largely report feeling almost completely invisible.

A study reported in the New York Post revealed that 33% of women confessed to going on dates just to get “free food.” They even have a term for it, namely, a “foodie call.” Some women have a full address book of men they can call not only for free food but free home repairs, car repairs, shopping trips, travel, you name it. The women have zero intention of ever getting romantically involved with any of these men. All of these men are in the dreaded “friend zone.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Problems in Society293 views0 answers0 votesSixty percent of college graduates today are women. Women are increasingly filling managerial roles and displacing men in numerous professional occupations such as law and medicine. Men, by and large, have no issues “dating down” and entering relationships with women who earn much less than they do, and who are even unemployed altogether. Whereas, the opposite is almost never true for successful women. Overwhelmingly, they hold out and say yes only to men who make as much or preferably more than they do, who are taller than they are (or at least not shorter), and more “successful and worldly,” however they might personally define that. The result is that more and more women are chasing fewer and fewer “qualified” men. They are literally pricing themselves out of the dating market.

With the divorce rate above 50%, along with the huge number of births happening out of wedlock, it’s reaching the point where more children are being raised by single mothers than are being raised by married cohabiting biological parents. Overwhelmingly, most single men, and more often than that, the more desirable single men, want nothing to do with a single mother. Men, by and large, would rather not raise another man’s children and need to be really incentivized to do so. This is a problem that just seems to keep getting worse, not better.

This is so because the majority of successful and compatible men their own age are either already in successful relationships or choose to date much younger (and therefore more attractive) women, sometimes decades younger. As a result, many of these older single women are desperately lonely and find themselves making do as best they can with women friends and even pets. The stereotype of the single cat lady is on point. What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Problems in Society293 views0 answers0 votes
