That’s my thought. There’s nothing more offensive about ranch than using cream cheese.

I used to live in Japan, and from what I could see, Japanese people aren’t fundamentally opposed to the concept of sushi with weird ingredients. They simply just don’t think it’s normal sushi.

Eel sushi already has a Japanese BBQ sauce on it.

trains rule

All I know is that the tunnel snakes rule. I don’t know whether a train is technically a tunnel snake or not.

Why would people go to the Bermuda Triangle if they just disappear there?

That delusion is so common that I suspect it must have a name, but I don’t know what it is.

But the better a solution appears, the more a person who sees the solution believes it to be obvious, and therefore also believes that, had they tried to solve the problem, they’d have come up with this “obvious” solution straight away with no effort.

Meanwhile, the person who actually solved the problem could only come up with the perfect simple solution after a lifetime of study in the area to the point that you’d call them an expert or master, and after agonizing for a long time over this particular problem.

If I ever seem smart and knowledgeable, it is only because of what I am being compared against.

I don’t like the idea of people seeing me doing something like that and then judging me, so nobody will ever see me online. I only let my social apps show me as online when I want people to be able to see I’m online. By default, I either leave them off or have them set my status to invisible.

My printer doesn’t use ink cartridges, but it came with more ink than it needed to completely fill it up. I got it from Costco.

I looked at his wikipedia the other day and was surprised to see that he had something like 5 singles that went far up the charts. I hadn’t heard of any of them, of course, but I don’t know that his being a 1 hit wonder is necessarily related to him being a piece of shit who is trying to end American democracy by supporting Trump.

Also, I wonder what this meme originally was. That guy on the right sort of looks like Obama.

Which part of that clip gives some room for flexibility? From my watching of the clip, he just says this is an old religious problem that we are now examining from the viewpoint of science, and that the apparent room for flexibility in quantum probabilities don’t offer anything like actual free will. And he essentially concludes by saying that despite there being no evidence of any shred of anything like free will, that we still need to search for and strive for it.

Hey guys! I found the giant asshole who is behind both Elon Musk and Donald Trump!

A few days ago, I did something that I thought would 100% keep me from sleeping. It wasn’t cringey this time, just a big mistake that I should have known better than to make.

But I had a plan and I carried it out. During that day, every time I thought about the mistake, I just tried to let it go, similar to what I practiced in mindfulness meditation. But I was having a problem doing that while just doing my normal thing, so I tried listening to an audiobook. I thought that would engage my mind enough so that I couldn’t make such a strong memory of my mistake, and it all seemed to work.

Anyways, for most people who don’t have serious trauma, I think this is a problem you can work at and improve your sleep.

You’re technically right, which as we all know, is the best kind of right.

I do think that most people’s brains gloss right over the logical contradiction and act as if it said that nobody said “anything” rather than “nothing.”

But that is not what the meme actually says. Now that you’ve pointed it out, it’s obviously wrong.

The “absolutely nobody” meme was originally supposed to highlight somebody making an argument for something that obviously nobody had ever felt the need to argue against.

It was usually a very obscure argument about something that nobody else had ever thought about, or the visual version where someone created something that didn’t need to be created, or it could be an argument about something that is so obviously true that it is obvious that nobody would ever try arguing against it… And that’s it. It doesn’t really have any use outside of those two narrow areas.

It barely made sense as a meme in the first place and of course, it was immediately misused by the vast majority of people who used it and just mindlessly tacked it onto anything because it was the popular meme at the time. I was so happy when people stopped using it.

The board has a fiduciary responsibility to the investors, so they were legally required to try to force Musk to make good on his offer.

But I think this is a good example of what’s wrong with making everything about money. Who wants to sell their baby to somebody who will just slowly destroy it while using its death rattles to poison the entire world?

Its object was to solve the problem of evil, that is, to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering in the world with the existence of a perfectly good, all-powerfuland all-knowing God, who would seem required to prevent it

I’m reminded of HAL from 2001 for some reason. Maybe because HAL was given two conflicting goals and went insane trying to reconcile them with each other, rather than simply discarding the goal that was obviously just some nonsense.

In my head, an otter would probably feel compelled to grab both glasses and bang them against each other, breaking one or both glasses.

When I saw your comment, I realized that I hadn’t explicitly connected all the dots and that I could have made the point much clearer, and as a result, I was glad that you asked the question. Although I admit I didn’t check the usernames, and I was surprised that you made a comment that so pointedly cleared up the thing I was trying to say.

If he does, then would Christians agree that their God is the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
