  • I wonder what’s going to happen to the stuff?

    All opinions of historical events aside, I love history as a reminder of how things were and how things have changed; how they can happen again or should be again. All history is very important.

    Opinions included though; all history is important, especially the bad stuff. I don’t like the redaction of bad history for being “offensive”, it just shouldn’t be esteemed, so excessive redaction on the side of victors or losers are not good… It is so important that all societies are reminded of their past mistakes, especially when they appear to be repeating. There is a balance between pride and shame that we need to present history with so that it is not mistakingly lost or mistakingly glorified, just observed.

    So, I hope the stuff is not forgotten and buried.




  • My pseudo-intellectual what?

    I’m talking Darwinism and your retort is personal experiences in your immediate single-generational society, letting us all know what you are and aren’t into in a partner.

    Literally, the topic is physical sexual attraction. Read OC. Unless you’re living life seeing grannies and thinking, “I really want to get to know them in case my pee-pee go boing-boing to their emotional intelligence and financial stability” I don’t think you’re immune to the same nature pseudo-intelligence as what’s being discussed.

    There’s two types of elder Millennials, as there are all the other generations; those that jerk off to college porn and liars.


  • Years ago, in Australia, I wanted to watch Formula 1. It was only available on Foxtel. I had to pay $25/m to get Foxtel—all shit I didn’t want. Then $25 to get the sports package—mostoy all shit I also didn’t care about or watch. Then $25 to get HD (1080).

    $75 to watch F1, no other options but finding pirate streams. After a couple rounds, of course I cancelled and just pirated once friends found reliable sources.


  • I don’t think so. Dial it back to us being mammals, and just like any other animal, we have peak sexual periods in our lifespans, based around promotion of survival. It is unusual to be sexually attracted to something that opposes survival instincts. I can only assume, but with fair confidence, that very few creatures, if any, have sexual attraction to something where survival of offspring is compromised or even possible. Obviously age is a huge one.

    This is sexual attraction at its core. Instincts that promote genetics and survival. Let’s not try to think we’re better than all the other animals by suggesting intincts may be a mental problem. Not being attracted may be harsh, but it’s normal in nature.




  • (E: never mind that, as has already been suggested to you, the theoretical thought experiment in question specifies not only infinite monkeys, but infinite time too, so they’ve not stuck to either parameter)

    Whoah, whoah, whoah… Big critical thinker here thinks the paper is about disproving a thought experiment?

    You understand that this is impossible? Even if it were attempted, such a venture is more a philosophical one, not a mathematicians forte.

    Obviously the paper is not looking at that, it’s doing math

    “Yes, it is true that given infinite resources, any text of any length would inevitably be produced eventually. While true, this also has no relevance to our own universe, as ‘reaching infinity’ in resources is not something which can ever happen.”

    That needing to be pointed out to you is… Well you’ll have to excuse me if I don’t waste my energy “critically thinking” yet 👍


  • Well I had no symptoms. My partner was super sick and I had them test. Thought I would as well after they were positive, and I was too. I’d been on the mountain snowboarding all day and was all pumped and planning tomorrow, I felt excellent.

    It was about a week later, my tinnitus would be incredibly loud at times. Every 30s or so, I’d get this weird palpitation sensation at the back of my skull, coupled with dizziness or pain in the head. Brain started just not working and I’d give up on thoughts. Then the fatigue hit and some days Id sleep up to 14 hrs when I usually sleep 6.5-7.5.

    But still, not a single cough, sore throat, nothing. It was all in my skull and I could feel it in there.



  • Im looking for news that affirms reality.

    You…affirm your reality…by looking forr news…that does so?

    With the intent and purpose of rational thought, it’s supposed to be the other way around.. In by doing this, it is the premise of “fact checking” and the antithesis of misinformation.

    That’s how reality, by definition, works. A statement is made. We look to confirm it. It is real if confirmed. You don’t look for statements to confirm a hypothesis and say, “Well, that’s my reality.”

    What you just said is no different to stating that you look for Google results that back up what you want to hear…

    Are you trying to prove my point for me?

    Trump’s public record words and actions already left no doubt that he’s molested children. This writer’s credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump’s words, actions, associates attitude.

    That’s unrelated to anything I’ve said and I don’t know why you thought I’d want to hear it.

    When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it’s unreasonable to argue that we can’t assume it’s a duck.

    That’s an unrelated example of abductive reasoning. Again, I don’t know why you picked me to share that with. If it bears any relation to what I’ve said, it’s irony in that by saying it, you’re proving my point further.
