I've been to Haight/Ashbury.
Here's the thing - and I hate to be a buzzkill - I actually was a hippie, kinda, though on the late side of the curve (1970s). A whole raft of things on that list were from well after the hippie era.
I score low (26). Doesn't matter. Quizzes about hippiedom written by people apparently born after 1975? Just no.
If your parents were young enough to wanna see the Dead, you weren't a hippie, but maybe they were. My parents followed (among others) Tommy Dorsey and Harry James. It would've been pathetic - and highly improbable - for hippies' parents to be Deadheads. Think it through. Multiple anachronisms.
Toms? No. Earth shoes, maybe, and even they were kind of late.
Phish? Founded 1983.
Recycling? Not a thing in 1969, generally.
Big Lebowski? 1998. We were investment bankers and midwives and IT geeks and teachers by then.
Hemp? Only the potent kind; the "hemp as agricultural wonder product" movement was later.
Don't make me laugh. Retro post-hippie, at best.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, even though it already jumped the shark a few pages back, at least.9 -

Do all the steps in between where people ate poultry and beans not count? Pretty much all of us go back to ancient roots, but what determines where you start diet-wise. Why would one person start with an ancient diet and another with a farmer's diet?
If you go back far enough, we're all African. So everyone should eat the same.
Truth and the answer is cake. We should all be eating cake. End thread.
The cake is a lie1 -

Ok, Miss Buzzkill
You are right, recycling was not a thing but picking up litter was. The list had stupid stuff, definitely written by a someone in their 40's. No one had dreadlocks.
Incidentally, I still pick up someone else's trash. I wore holey Levis and flip flops LOL.1 -

I think you mean "land of mundanity". Mundane: boring, ordinary, expected. Mediocre: poor quality, lack of accomplishment or skill. "He was a mediocre violin player."
No I meant mediocrity...mediocre at best...thanks for asking for clarity tho...entomology of words is wonderful...look up the word "nice" ...

Mediocre at best? Sigh, it's not a rating scale. It doesn't go mediocrity, mediocre, medio. Your sentence did not make sense since a person can be flying their freak flag and still lack any actual accomplishments OR they could be completely normal and super accomplished.
Entomology of words? The study of insects of words?

No at work every word is carefully measured and placed. I am at play so who cares other than you?
If the way I chose to wrote kept people from understanding what I was actually attempting to communicate, I would be concerned about that.
If you don't care whether or not people can understand you, what's the point of communicating at all?16 -

There is a difference between being misunderstood and miconstrued...as I have been so ften in this thread...You need perfect grammar and punctuation to be able to comprehend what you read. Sorry.
If someone puts care into writing (as you do at work), communication can be achieved even without perfect grammar or punctuation. Very few people have the ability to write without ever making an error. Putting some thought into what we're writing goes a long way to facilitate communication. It may be worth trying in the non-professional areas of your life as well, at least if you want people to understand what you're attempting to communicate.11 -

Perfect grammar and punctuation, no.
But walls of text with no paragraph breaks and random ellipses scattered throughout are impossible to read, especially on a phone8 -

Once again you are putting added meaning into my words... All sorts of suppositon and misconstrued vitriol pointed my way..just read the words as they are written..leave your perception and bias out of it. But thats no fun! Haha💋
Given how many people you are accusing of mischaracterizing you, I suggest that you review your communication. When I'm speaking to a large group and one or two misunderstand, it is likely on them, but if a number of people are not getting my message, it is usually something in the way I am communicating it. Just something to consider.18
