I am wondering if I have lost my best friend to a new boyfriend. She was the last friend I had of my own age. We have been through pretty much everything together. I was the first one she called when she was having marital problems. Now she doesn't call me back and won't answer text messages. People rely upon the outcast monk when they are outcast, and then return to the city seeming to forget they ever met any monk.

Hate it when that happens to my girlfriends.
I replaced their 'best' position with a male asexual to resolve the issue lol.

Okay. I need to recant on my last post. My best friend pulled through and came up to my house for the Fourth of July with her new boyfriend. At first, I harbored done resentment of some of my mistreatment in the past, but her actions seemed to convince me that there was still a strong connection for purpose of maintenance. She invited me down to her place in Dallas, and I am going to go down there again. I am sorry for what I said.

I also feel the need to write something to maintain my competence in the art of composition, but I am just tired after a couple days of a little sleep deprivation and one night of heavy drinking. It is like I have the embryo of thought without the ability to give it the birth that it deserves and needs. As I labor to the effect, the embryo is pumped with vital energy, but no mother knows what will come of it. Thus I practice for motherhood.

Right. The reason religious people get so worked up over people who dress how they want, eat what they want, and sleep with who they want.

That reminds me of a lyric by Regina Spektor
"... don't tell your gods you no longer believe / because as soon as you say it out loud they will leave you..." It's actually one of my favorite songs.

Full lyrics:

Spoiler

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love [x2]

Don't tell your secrets to anyone
Because ideas are vulnerable
As soon as you say your idea out loud
Then it can go and live on its own
And you will miss it oh so much
And you will wait for it's return
And you will wish it were your own
But ideas that left never come back home

Don't tell your mother that you are afraid
Don't tell your lover that your heart might break
Don't tell your gods you no longer believe
Because as soon as you say it out loud they will leave you
And you will miss them oh so bad
And you will wait for their return
And you will wish they were your own
But gods that have left you will never grace your home

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love [x2]

Don't tell your secrets to anyone
Because ideas are vulnerable
As soon as you say your ideas out loud
Then they can go and live on their own without you
And you will miss them oh so bad
And you will wait for their return
And you will wish they were your own
But ideas that left will never come back home

United States








Statistics from different sources give widely varying estimates of infant circumcision rates in the United States.
In 2011, circumcision was one of the most common procedures performed during hospital stays in the U.S. There were approximately 1.1 million hospitalizations with a circumcision, a rate of 36 stays per 10,000 population. This was a decrease of 16% from 1997, when there was a rate of 43 stays per 10,000 population. It was the second-most common procedure performed on patients under one year of age.[29]


In 2005, about 56 percent of male newborns were circumcised prior to release from the hospital according to statistics from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.[30]


Data from a national survey conducted from 1999 to 2002 found that the overall prevalence of male circumcision in the United States was 79%.[4] 91% of boys born in the 1970s, and 83% of boys born in the 1980s were circumcised.[4] An earlier survey, conducted in 1992, found a circumcision prevalence of 77% in US-born men, born from 1932–1974, including 81% of non-Hispanic White men, 65% of Black men, and 54% of Hispanic men, vs. 42% of non U.S. born men who were circumcised.[31]

Prevalence of circumcision in America.. Why so?

I think love is bullshit. There's nothing wrong with it, actually. It's just that many people take it so damn seriously...Marriage, relationships, all that stuff. Boo-fucking-hoo. I just don't get how 'love' is relevant to human existence.

I've been reading a lot lately about what true 'love' means... Apparently, if it's not 'unconditional' it doesn't count. I've come to the conclusion that the only love I've ever known is between me and a certain plant.

I wish I knew how to have faith in things. I want to believe so many fun ideas. Like alien meetings, or those little kids who supposedly have memories of past lives. That would be a fun thing to believe in. Also, Socrates. I want to believe that he really existed. I want to believe in all-powerful secret societies, in God, and in fairies. It seems as if it would be so magical and fun.

Hahaha I couldn't agree more.

I've come to the conclusión that what normal people call emotional ties, I see more as relationships of convinience. Everyones is useful for something, you need others to acomplish your goals. No one is indispensable.

That's the topic I'm fighting myself with time to time, and came to stalemate. Right now my conclusion is that emotional ties are usable for personal gains (phisical and/ or emotional). Is it usable only to survive or is there a deeper meaning (e.g. meaning of life and religions)?


Random thought:
I'm completely indecesive right now. I should concentrate and finnaly start doing things instead only thinking about them!

Well, to me is not as deep as it seems, personally I see human relationships as a need in order to evolve, no man is*an*island, but people doesn't mean that much to me, lets say my friendships and relationships hace been pretty much circumpstancial, that's what suits me. After all it has to do with your personal values and the way you grew up, your enviroment, your beliefs.
Wich belief suits you, pick up .
Because, lets agree, there's no posible absolute way out for this topic. No such thing as: meaningful or meaningless.
OH MY IM SO POSMO :v

Ps. Why in the world more thinking than doing would be wrong?
Pss. ....or being idecisive? :v

[tommarkc]

Yeah, it's all about beliefs. As long you provide logic background, it's hard to fight against

Indecisive, yeah...
POSOMO? xD

Think before doing. Then do, otherwise you have nothing to show (well, if you're extrovert, you can probably explain). If you do things without thinking... well, that's entertaining to watch, yet pointless. There's nothing wrong with more thinking, but things must be done too.

That what you have under your posts, "See, sacrifice is the price of a good trick", that's from Prestige, right? So my thought: Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled.

Hi there!

My name is Sarah. I first got into Passion Parties at college where my friends recommended me to be a consultant. I've always been pretty open-minded, vocal, and rather shameless when it came to talking about sex so my friends thought I'd fit right in. I've always been that friend that girlfriends come to in order to talk about their sex lives (or lack their of). I believe people's sex lives impact them a great deal and I think it causes more harm than good that it is taboo to talk about. How can you improve something that you can't talk about? That's why I've always been open to talking with my friends. No one should be turned away or shamed if they need to talk about something. When I was recommended to be a consultant I thought, "This could be something that I could not only be good at, but could also make an impact on more people's lives than just my friends." Sounds cheesy, but I really think that being open about sex and any products that can improve sex, can honestly change lives. A happy sex life breathes life into relationships, it builds self-confidence, and of course, is damn good fun!

Between an attractive INTJ female and an attractive INFJ female, I have often wondered which girl I would want to date. I think both of them have pros and cons. I guess the thing I like about INTJ women is their blunt, direct, and straightforward nature in which I don’t have to play guessing game all day everyday. The downside to a true INTJ female is that she might not enjoy physical contact or she might not enjoy sex. INFJ women on the other hand, I suspect, are more sexual and so this is why the labeling of a “virgin” doesn’t really apply to INFJs (even though INFJs are kind of like INTJs in that it is very hard for them to let people into their life even just as friends). They are probably also more attractive both physically and mentally. And they are probably very attractive in indescribable ways too. It is almost as if they literally have an energy about them that is very attractive, enticing, or seductive. The downside to a true INFJ female is that she is probably more manipulative and constantly lies all the time kind of like some of the F-type women I personally know in my life. It is like I get this intuitive feeling that they are lying but I am amazed at what a fantastic liar they really are. I would even say that my female siblings are excellent liars. Ultimately and obviously, I would have to make a choice between the two and after much contemplation, I would have to go with the INFJ woman. I guess as a heterosexual man irrespective as to what my true MBTI is, I need a woman that is more emotional, nurturing, loving, and caring. I myself personally isn’t really good with such things in my opinion and so having or being with someone that is somewhat opposite or different from me I feel or I think complements and/or completes me.

Yeap ^^ it's from The Prestige, and yeah that's the audiance, they don't really want to know they love to be fooled. Ser not everyone is called to be a magician, it takes sacrifice.

Post modern. It was a note to myself.

It doesn't always has to be the 'think-then do' way. Not necessarily. All roads lead to Rome. Even the analytical types can react in pretty irrational, emotional, illogical ways, also this types work data from their intuition, that's what sometimes make hard to explain our conclusions. Let's not talk about all the other types that have the dominant sense and feeling function. They do work primarily from feelings and senses , they don't like to think before acting, and hardly get wrong either (in their area).

What I'm trying to say, and back to the first topic, is that there's no such thing as meaningful people, relationships or acts PER-SE. You make them meaningful.

By the way I'm also the kind of person that has to think before doing. I personally draw a map of how I'm going to act and all the posibillities of how the others can react, then all the posibillities I can react to them, then I choose.

 

[tommarkc]

Agree, essentially everyone gets to their goal; which I don't like to admit.
Agree with meaningfulness.

The fact I'm close to my brothers is, whatever I want to tell, they will understand what I want to tell. And I know them enough that I don't need to think about responses too much. And we are all more 'home' person.

Random thought: I should eat more

So the other day I was talking to some homeless guy. I asked him why he didn’t want to attend that one meeting with a bunch of professionals to get help and perhaps turn his life around. He responded by telling me:

1). He thinks pretty much everybody going to that meeting professional or non-professional is unattractive.

2). The ones that are attractive already have that special someone in their life and so he thinks that if he were to talk to them (especially someone of his opposite sex), he didn’t want to be seen as a “creep.”

3). He thinks he is superior to everyone in that meeting anyways.

That’s the kind of response you get from a homeless man? Still want to go around helping homeless men? I don’t think so.

question here.
found a long paper im interested in, its on the deep web.
if i download this and get hacked/virus can i fix this by reset factory default?

 

[Fukyo]

What file format? If it's plan text, you're probably safe, if it's a pdf could be problematic. Make sure your software is up to date. Don't download any executables.

I don't think you want to do a factory reset on your computer. In Windows you can reset your computer to an earlier point in time, but better create a reset point before downloading anything, but I'm not sure if that would help if you got infected, because some inefections can happen on the level of hardware. After downloading you can scan the file with either some of available online malware scans or by installing something like Malwarebytes or Spybot, Check your computer for rookits, use other on demand cleaning software to be extra secure. Major companies like Kaspersky, Norton (power eraser I think it was called), McAfee (stinger), Comodo provide them.


If everything else fails MLG antivirus will save your computer from the loominaty

You could set up a sandbox environment to secure it.

Personally I wouldn't care if it has a virus or not if you already have reliable means of virus detection, deep web doesn't supply more malicious viruses than those found on ordinary web, so you are fine. I'd use a sandbox testing out a virus or when you are certain something is infected but you want to view it anyway.

for all the physicists who use this here forum, im looking for an estimation on the accuracy of an non rifled barreled gun shooting spheres and or darts. also does rifling effect spheres? making an air powered gun and dont have much interest in something that cant hit what its pointed at. current one went to shit after my pressure gauge caused a leek. thanks for all the replies ily my little researchers

what an illogical and deplorable attitude.

following this type of "reasoning" would lead me to conclude that everyone in the US is a total jerk.

I absolutely love, love, and love that quote by Nikola Tesla. It just shows you that Ni is so beyond magical!

Oh and by the way, for some of you English teachers out there who like to complain about students using the same word over and over again, well, Tesla used the word "powerful" three times and the word "light" five times. Talk to the hand!

Trump Dominates First GOP Debate

The debate wasn't really a 'debate', just a GOP discussion table so that the Republicans understand what's being laid out for the nation.

No one really triumphed that debate at all, though; imo. The only contenders are Jeb, Rubio, Perry and maybe Cruz. The others are probably going to get cabinet positions or other department placements. I think Trump would do good in one of them, personally.
