If it isn't about observation then what does it even mean to "predict the future", similarly if it has nothing to do with the past? What is this knowl...
I don't see how it follows that if the future were determined, and necessary that it would therefore be predictable. If things happened in future tens...
Such a system would only be fair if mistakes were penalized, and authenticity, and justness rewarded... so, you know, if anyone besides me gets liked,...
Mania is pretty great though, right? I'm like bi-polar or something, probably. When I feel good, I feel like the greatest that's ever walked the earth...
I try to avoid giving advice, (as the song goes), everything I learned came second hand, and I dare not teach what I don't understand. I doubt that yo...
He died, presumably. lol See, the first stage of nirvana is attained when you give up on your personal hopes and dreams, but this is incomplete, becau...

Lol, it's true. My special racial ability is being the best at getting sunburns. Also over absorption of iron, as we're super awesome at bleeding a lo...
You know. You inherited comedy from Moses or whatever. Everyone knows that "let my people go" was a running gag like "take my wife", but then got took...
To answer the question, yeah, I'm my bod, but I haven't quite attained physical mastery yet. Equal maturity, symmetry, and balance. Hopefully within a...
