Personally I love my job and find absolute joy and satisfaction in it; but that's because I work for an organization that mirrors my values and cares about everyone; not just the team members. This guy needs some hobbies outside of work. I would definitely go to therapy, but apart from that, I would develop a hobby with clear goals that can be accomplished and will fill you with satisfaction. I can't tell you how much writing my fanfictions has helped me; nothing like hitting the end of chapter 14, wrapping up a storyline, and knowing that I just created something, even if I'm apparently the only one who will ever read it. It's still an experience.

What about proprioception? Thats my favorite sense. -
Have you seen Prometheus? Thats what happened. Now stop thinking about it and go be productive. Read my goddamn fanfictions already.

This isnt DF and therefore not allowed. *licks the boots of authority*

Everything i say is genuine, even that racist vagina thread @Nabloom told me to delete. I still stand by my position.

Strangely enough those are the correct answers.

I didnt intend to be a dick; i was probing your beliefs to allow you to examine them more closely, and wish the same from others for myself.

I think it's a well known fact that I am hella pretentious and very often wrong.

No, it is not the opposite. Schrodinger's cat has no bearing on the conversation; it was both dead and alive due to its inability to be observed. We can observe dolphins and salt and mercury and hotdogs and lemons and shit. Literal shit. Just everywhere. Shit is not the opposite of food. A shark is not the opposite of a dolphin because it's a fish. There is no opposite to a dolphin. If you're interesting in debating the definitions of things, I am 100% down with that. One does not debate to win, one debates to observe the views of another and allow another individual to offer their perspective of your views as you do the same to them. I don't like the word "pretentious," if one chooses to use their mind to explore their subjective perspective on the nature of reality and wishes to share that perspective, hot damn, let's get that shit rollin'.

The only difference is the position in which the human body is placed at a given point in time. This is not the opposite of a chair. The only difference is the molecular makeup. Sugar is a chemical compound, salt is a chemical element. The two are only comparable in the fact that cohorts of the former are made up of cohorts from the latter. Sugar is not the opposite of salt. The only difference is evolutionary lineage suiting each eventual species towards its own environment. Pigs and dolphins last shared a common ancestor somewhere around 63 million years ago. I got tired of looking up the evolutionary history of bats, but I'm willing to bet it was a while back as well. Pigs and bats are not the opposite of dolphins. Show me something that will negate a chair. Show me the anti-salt. Show me the antithesis of a dolphin.

So how was everyone's Valentine's Day?
SwimModSponges replied to TrigunBebop's topic in Free-For-All
I played Lego Worlds while my girlfriend and her friends watched a movie. They were looking for a romance movie, because, you know, girls on valentines day, and decided on Plug Love. Spoilers to follow So it starts off a lot like one of @fuggnificent's stories, but then shit gets real when they plug Rizzo. Next thing you know, Rizzo's n**** be hittin' up the main character (forget his name, wasn't even paying attention, was building shit in Lego Worlds) to work the same goddamn street his homie got mowed down in for layin' the hurt on a dumb ass n**** that got the shit stolen. Next thing you know, they got the n**** rollin' horse. The whole time he's hittin' that chick from the Fuggs story through all of this by the way. It was at this point that everyone else in the room had no idea what was going on. Not taking my eyes from the my Lego creation, I explained the plot to them and they were amazed I knew what was up. I got the 411. Anyways, it was actually a pretty great movie. And I gotta say, sometimes I like my movies like I like my coffee: bleak. -
What is the opposite of a chair? What is the opposite of salt? What is the opposite of a dolphin?

Damn, I don't have any idea what I'm doing with all these goddamn brackets but it is wonky.

Complete understanding is, by its very nature, a limitless and ultimately impossible goal. We can do our part to expand our own knowledge and the knowledge of others, but there is no "mandate" to do so, especially not fully. Insofar as the question of good and evil; well that can pretty much be broken down to "what are the best ways to ensure the survival of the organism/community/species? Ok, that's good." "Oh shit, somebody's doing the opposite of those things and endangering the survival of the organism/community/species, that's going to be something we'll call evil."

Specificity is the only way to understanding.

Fatalism is the belief in fate; it's nothing dramatic, it simply describes the belief in predeterminism, as @Adminderaptorpat pointed out semi-correctly Mind you I don't believe there is a conscious entity "deciding" my fate; I believe that the fact that we exist in a world where there is only a singular timeline means that whatever happens is exactly what happened. Thought experiment- raise your finger. Which finger did you raise? Now instead of choosing to raise that finger, go back and raise a different one. Pretty hard to do, isn't it? So we can't change the past, but we know that. Surely we can change the future. Ok, in three seconds, raise the finger you won't raise. How'd that one work out for you?

This is only partially accurate. I am indeed very upset about the fanfictions, but I've always been about the same level of motivation politically. I'm only spamming shit because holy shit, have you seen this shit? It's some crazy shit.

To sum- "I shitpost, therefore I am(?)"

Did you read that thread about knowing a bunch about nothing? I think I justified my behavior fairly well in there. If you don't like philosophy... oh boy.

You know whats a big red flag? Saying you could shoot people in the middle of fifth avenue and would suffer no consequences. Wait, no, thats not a red flag: its a red hat.

I aggregate news stories and ask folks to debate the merits of their position, and also have deep conversations about the nature of reality and black womens vaginas. Also, fanfictions.
