I'm sure I have my favorite themes, but at least I don't repeat sentences verbatim like a lunatic

I guess it’s a mix of jealous people and people hungry for some social-justice cookie points. They are emerging from their dark corners like a bunch of zombies sensing the smell of fresh meat.

So we just define the unit circle to have a radius of one Planck length and calculate pi to be 3?

You keep repeating this “physical reality”. Unless ethics is the only subject outside the realm of physical science and Popper happened to write about falsificationism as applied to ethics, I don’t know what to do with your statement other than perhaps printing it out and use it as toilet paper.

@Pizzabeak I wonder how many times you have typed "life is about breathing air" on this forum at this point. All your brain cells are neatly connected in a circle.

ah ok, that's a great argument.

as QuickTwist already pointed out, that's a pretty dumb-ass statement. Popper thought of conjecture/refutation as a process which progressively moves you towards the real truth about physical reality. Considering that there is no real truth when it comes to morality, wtf are you even gonna make...

I don't think anything about a person changes unless rigorous self-analysis and active steps are taken towards certain goals. Most people never even reach the first step, let alone actually fix whatever issues they are aware of.

Maybe he got scurred

At least for me it’s quite normal that I don’t answer calls/messages or reply like a week later. I’ve never cancelled a date though

99% of Netflix is pure garbage

I feel you man. It's all bland, predictable, and it seems it's gotten worse with the emergence of hyper-PC culture over the few years. I've enjoyed only one source of "comedy" the past few years, which is a group called Million Dollar Extreme. They had a show called "World Peace" but it got...

I support the notion that it’s good to not have the edit button. It facilitates more real and unfiltered interaction

full disclosure I thought at some point that pizza was some sort of natural-language-processing algorithm experiment. Second theory was that he's just a dude who likes to blaze up and start tapping on the keyboard to see what comes out.

A word like "smarter" is being used in an accusatory fashion, even if it’s completely untrue. I will only insult people because I’ll enjoy it. And if you’re one of the people who likes me for my words and not my actions, that means you are not smarter than me. I like doing something that...

But you think you can talk me into doing what you want to? And even if you can, you won’t be able to keep me under your thumb. It’s like you want to do it so that you can take advantage of me now. But you aren’t worth using me. There are things on earth that are not yours to choose. It’s about...

... with the "double slit" experiment being the classical example

From what I understand, current quantum-mechanics theory is largely based on stochastic models of various particles. I.e. not only is determinism not a necessary condition for making sense of the world, it's not even currently the best one.

There are some ballsy girls out there who go for what they want. That's like 5% of women at most though.

man this is the state of things - dudes get approached by a girl once in a blue moon and now they figure they got game and finding women is all about just passively hanging around bars. Sorry to shit on a feel-good post though.

people seem confused about masculinity nowadays. Seems that if you’re not serving your testicles on a plate, you’re under suspicion of engaging in domestic abuse and rape.

Whatever that word-salad factory between your ears comes up with, man

you can understand as much as science as you want, doesn't help you predicting everything. E.g. a double pendulum is a trivially simple system which is perfectly described by differential equations, yet its movement is practically impossible to predict because it exhibits chaotic motion.

Determinism to me is similar to other theories like that one where one says the world is just a computer simulation. As in, it doesn’t change anything, regardless of whether it is true or false. Sure, in theory if you apply a bunch of assumptions and assume you know the exact position and...

Is this one of those cicada 3301 things? Too bad I don't know shit about cryptography

being honest is socially incompetent.. I'm completely shocked hearing this from Adaire

that's an interesting hobby lol. I think I used to lie when I was a kid, but eventually I realized it makes things way more complicated rather than easier. And it creates a wall between yourself and the rest of the world, something I also didn't like. Maybe find other ways to know stuff that...

Ultimately the social environment and the job itself is what is going to determine whether you will feel satisfied. I dont know how you can put as much weight to weather as to everything else.

I play with knives

There is usually a certain amount of aggression in the way I prepare my meals.

notice that I can't even be fucked with using real plates, I use paper plates so that I can just throw them away later

@Adaire I like the kind of lingual gymnastics you had to perform there in order to say the sort of crazy shit you wanted to say yet not make it explicit. It's very well-crafted, but unfortunately for you I've dealt with much worse before, and that was IRL. I'm sure these tactics work well for...

@Minuend what's next, you're gonna say I have a small dick or some other cliche nonsense that women throw my way anytime I challenge prevailing female narratives about attraction? I've been out there, lady, I've seen reality. Reality is not a romantic comedy, it's not always what people want it...

There seems to be the assumption that if one is looking for a soulmate, that soulmate must be an exception to all biological idiosyncrasies of the human species as a whole

doesn't that mean it becomes even more important to understand what is generally, or on average, more attractive?

although this is true, this philosophy leaves everything to chance. Like you said.. you found this "once"

being rude to waiters is the lowest form of asshole-ism. It's the waiter's job to be nice to you, so there's no skin in the game to insult them. Classy asshole-ism is when one has something to lose.

And btw I'm not complaining, these are true and tried methods by yours truly

Girls are attracted to machiavellian traits and risky social behavior, especially if it as the expense of other men. Now if you can do those in combination – boy oh boy. Obviously what they say about what they find attractive would be the opposite – they want a kind man who is considerate of...

I’m undecided on this one

I believe that when people say transformation they mean going from one particular form to another, whereas “change” is more of an aimless process which may or may not result in a particular final form.

@Minuend If you both freeze and boil vegetables you might as well be chewing on sawdust. I personally avoid vegetables because based on my research the net benefit of them is negative. (Lots of inflammatory substances and very little absorbable micronutrients). But no one is interested in...
