rocket launchers seems a bit unlikely, maybe you could settle for the ability to spit on people's faces from a large distance?

evolution is not a linear process towards complexity, in fact it's just a process towards equilibrium. Hence why 99.999% of all species on earth are extremely primitive organisms (mostly bacteria) that have remained stable in their current form for the past millions of years

but if 99% of all viruses out there were rootkits and linux-oriented viruses, it would be more secure to use windows (obviously it's the exactly opposite which is true, but let's assume for the sake of argument), which would mean that the person who reasoned inside this system would be correct...

why not introduce the raccoon to the dogs?

if you have to perform a wire transfer and that it is the only form of payment which is accepted, then the only way around it is to not send any money :cool: otherwise, I dunno, maybe paypal or something.

these are all guidelines I follow: use paper plates instead of real plates to not waste time doing dishes don't wash, iron or replace clothes until you start getting comments (saves both time and money) never check your work email (if it's important people will eventually come to you in...

Get some stank on the hang down Playing hide the sausage Etc

back to a more natural existence where the purpose of life is to survive and replicate, plus throw in some zombies to make it even more exciting – sounds pretty sweet to me.

there's something annoying about people using the term "having sex". I can't put my finger on it, but the term is somehow both too direct and too sterile simultaneously. Like a half-baked attempt at dignifying a highly animalistic act, or someone with a very limited vocabulary trying to avoid...

the basic problems i face at work is that people don't understand that something that might sound conceptually simple can be very difficult and/or very time consuming to implement in real life. which means I have the additional problem of explaining to people what the hell this stuff actually...

actually I don't really know, maybe alcohol is good. come to think of it some of the best experiences i've had were based on alcohol

@peoplesuck light brown imo. looks more casual and less emo

I'm a big fan of anti-humor, or humor where you move along a thin edge between serious statements and jokes, or humor where the distinction between joke and serious can only be made from context or subtle cues like tone of voice – for example talking about something mundane in a slightly too...

I'm gonna go with 'yes'. who wouldn't like to be an intellectual-type with pistols up one's sleeve?

all these women on online dating apps writing "only people who are interested in serious relationships are allowed to contact me" don't realize the mistake they are committing: shooting sperm is much easier than getting inseminated, so for a male the commitment to one female is a tradeoff...

well, I guess that's about the expected return on investment from this whole plan. this idea of "exposure therapy" via alcohol is so misguided that the only thing I can do is to plant my palm firmly onto my face. sure you might end up stumbling up to a woman and say some ridiculous nonsense...

getting drunk will solve absolutely nothing.

If they make you nervous there must be something pertaining to them that you care immensely about. What is that?

Math & conmputational science worked out pretty well for me. It’s quite general which means I can read papers about anything from medicine to AI and assess the methods and potentially replicate and repurpose their methods and theories for my own stuff. For example earlier I worked in finance...

having kids is for plebs. The more plebian, the more kids

@Rebis wat is this “planning” that you speak of? I use bits of paper that I write on and tape them on walls It’s actually quite good because you can see how things branch out and are tied together

I’ve had some good experiences with online dating. It’s a numbers game and one has to go through a lot of people to find people one likes, but that’s just how life works.

It sounds like he doesn't have a clue what he's doing Or maybe he's afraid of getting #metoo'ed

same. I'm usually a cool and laidback guy, but noise – like a neighbor doing some shit when I'm trying to sleep – can make me go WILD (there's been some episodes)

either way I'm pretty sure it would be orders of magnitude better than the typical sensor/feeler group convos one usually finds oneself in

Usually the people without a sense of humor

I think burnout has more to do with stress for prolonged periods of time rather than plain work volume. I don't really believe in vacation, "taking breaks", stuff like that, and haven't taken one since I got my first job 4 years ago. This summer though, I was in a situation which was a bit new...

how on earth is someone who wears french knickers presumed to be a male

I’ve gotten lazy in my existentialism as of late, but at least as a nominal existentialist I assume that existence proceeds essence, that we are and become what we do, and what we do is up to us. Eg regarding comfort zone one would be acutely aware of cases where one’s physiology determines...

christianity in general starts with the assumption that a human is a sickly animal that needs to be rectified in all kinds of ways, so I can see how they in their indiscriminate pursuit of afflictions (as it were) included homosexuality in their list. To me it's obviously a cultural thing...

yeah there was quite a few facets to that post

70cl of gin? That's like 15 drinks. anyways for me there's no point in drinking anything below 5 drinks. That's just going to make me feel sleepy and probably like you I will retain 99% of my self-control (i.e. I'm just damaging my liver and not getting anything in return). To get in a really...

I find most prospects for doing a startup disagreeable for the reasons I find the B-corp idea completely disagreeable; when you're doing a business that sells something (whether it's product or service), even if you created that business yourself, you have to answer to a bunch of idiots out...

Behold: it's quite a mix of different styles and moods, hope you enjoy some of it

@Rebis reminded me that I hadn't listened to this in a while

I think compassion is a fragile thing. It implies that people’s actions towards each other should be dependent on their feelings - which may result in bad or good behavior depending on how they feel about things. I for example don’t have too much real compassion towards randoms in the street...

I use snus. Its very prevalent in the Nordic area, smoke is almost non-existent.

I keep it nice and simple with caffeine and nicotine.

I for one never understood what’s so clever about categorical imperative. It doesnt really solve anything. It can serve as s practical guide and rule of thumb perhaps but that’s pretty much it. It’s useless for things like abortion for example because the ultimate decision will depend on a...

I have one too lol. On the rare occasion I've worn it in public I definitely felt like a fool. It's comfortable as hell though

100% Wildstyle

ah yes, those fees bring back memories from when I studied in UK. I think we had pretty much those exact prices. I definitely felt like I was getting robbed, but at the same time the food and drink felt dirt cheap compared to Norway.

I’ve had a lucid dream once in my life. First I flew then landed and had sex, then woke up with jizzed up underpants. The best part though, was before both the flying and jizzing, where I was walking around in an old empty city. It was the most serene and beautiful atmosphere I’ve ever seen...

Yeah this was just something that became an unintentional statistical experiment because I made a profile when I moved back to my home town but didn’t really have time to do anything with it. I’ve gone beast mode in online dating in the past though. It’s all about good pictures, witty lines, a...

I’m in tiger town, dude. Are you up north?
