Oh shit! You don't know? You're dead then.
April 24, 2022 at 23:46
No. Although I'm aware of the sentimentality towards bland, diner foods. :razz:
April 24, 2022 at 23:40
Are you asking this for purely philosophical inquiry, or for medical science and the public? It always puzzles me whenever an attempt is made to trans...

That' gonna kill you someday -- there's not even a 'theme' in your selection: beach towel, waffle mix, pens?

This is depression -- clinical. You should try to see a therapist.
April 24, 2022 at 21:48
How much did you pay for it?
April 24, 2022 at 21:44
Yes, I am. First things first -- materialism holds water, a lot of water. Perception won't be complete without body and mind. But the causality that h...

Don't leave just yet. You'd lower the overall IQ of this thread if you did. :joke:
April 23, 2022 at 01:29
Correction. It's not the human brain that's being uploaded, per OP. It's the mind. Not the same.
April 23, 2022 at 01:26
It has nothing to do possible or impossible. You're still not getting the point. To this day, what have been made possible by science have always been...
April 22, 2022 at 04:04
This is simply confused. "Probable" is not the same as possible. If something is probable, there is high likelihood it will happen. Possible is simply...

:up: Tell them, Haglund.
April 21, 2022 at 03:17
Thanks!

There. See above.

I wasn't responding to Joshs. I was reacting to I like sushi.
April 19, 2022 at 04:47
I see you have a good grasp of Penrose, but nothing at all of reading between the lines.
April 19, 2022 at 04:29
I don't understand this topic of CRT.
April 19, 2022 at 04:11
Nice to meet you. Yeah, cause you got the joke, too. Those are great extensions, btw! Cause I was thinking of some good ones: .foolish .fake
April 19, 2022 at 04:09
No. They're not fair. There I said it. They're not. The ones at a disadvantage pray to them for help, the ones doing well pray for more.

I find this unconvincing, something is wrong. Although, I'm glad for the professor -- the permanent record would derail or ruin his career for many ye...
April 18, 2022 at 02:06
Professor wins a judgment of $400,000 for being written up and reprimanded for refusing a transgender student a "she". He responded to her question in...
April 18, 2022 at 01:00
Awesome! :up:
April 18, 2022 at 00:50
I get what you're saying. In that regard, let's change your question to What's the harm to you if you venture out or take a risk?
April 18, 2022 at 00:43
hahaha! :lol:
April 18, 2022 at 00:36
I read that the hippie generation didn't give a fuck. Now we have the social media, and fake lives are more fun than authenticity and real. So, people...
April 16, 2022 at 23:53
The first line means "I'm embarrassed to be seen with you" to the women. The second line is just really a feeling of fear or grossed out, but the dude...

He's not into you. He's saying it politely.
April 16, 2022 at 22:40
No. The instinct is kicking in -- it's an automatic response to a threat or injury. When the beast no longer thinks it's in control of the situation a...
April 16, 2022 at 21:42
If anything, you could try to save the mind to a disk or thumbdrive. Then when you try to watch or listen to it, it would be blank or "this file could...
April 16, 2022 at 21:23
Yes. The law of 100%.
April 16, 2022 at 21:21
This is error in thinking. No, it could not be done because perception doesn't happen only in the brain -- but through other organs as well. The brain...
April 16, 2022 at 21:19
That's your job to figure out.
April 15, 2022 at 03:01
*Sigh* you just repeated yourself while ignoring what I just said. You are speaking in terms of emotional perception. You didn't have the job of a man...
April 15, 2022 at 03:00
It isn't facts that you should be enforcing -- although it is part of everyone's argument: Fact: you killed my dog. But now comes the measure of the i...
April 15, 2022 at 02:55
The latter. I used to think boring people are at a disadvantage. Until I find that they're seldom bothered by what's happening around them, and seldom...
April 14, 2022 at 04:23
But you don't have to. I don't think you're understanding what I say when I say, you didn't lose something you didn't own in the first place. I'm talk...
April 14, 2022 at 03:48
I'm telling you that you are mis-attributing "objectivity" here.
April 14, 2022 at 03:42
I beg to differ. Think of the law of 100%. You could only lose something that you already own. If you didn't get that promotion, you didn't lose anyth...
April 13, 2022 at 06:05
Apples and oranges. The method of observation and examination of human interaction is different than the one required of physics.
April 13, 2022 at 05:52
So I guess it's official -- sit and stare at tree, worried neighbor will cut down. I'd done this. In fact, there's a back patio at the house, I placed...
April 12, 2022 at 05:11
Interesting background story. Thanks!
April 12, 2022 at 03:09
I could only say that you are a victim of incorrectly attributing similarities where there shouldn't be. We are talking humans here. Let's get physics...
April 12, 2022 at 03:01
So we don't disagree. I thought you meant it's just a social convention.
April 10, 2022 at 02:43
Sorry, but this is a blatant disregard for humans' fundamental reality. I just said. There are fundamental things that we hold dear to us. Disgust wit...
April 10, 2022 at 02:15
Very interesting phenomenon. So, there was a koala retrovirus?
April 10, 2022 at 01:30
We're the opposite. I meet them, the ones in suits or run companies. And yes, they're scary if you know what to look for. Their eyes, for one. And the...
April 10, 2022 at 01:24
30 ft sounds excessive, if you bundle a 30 feet of something, that's more than the size of a koala.

It is not enough that one has a lot of money. It also must be at the top 1%. So there's never enough, as one should feel that there's enough. :up:
