Templar:
Will you make a pact with the devil to stay young looking and live for a 1000 years ?

ColorStorm:
IMO if there were a devil (or if the pact is with anything analogous to a devil), then a pact with him/it would never be worth it. Don't make a deal with evil, they're not out for your best interest, and they'll always take more than they give, even if it's in subtle or unexpected ways.

Templar:
Maybe it's not an evil devil

ColorStorm:
then why call it a devil? what could it be?

Templar:
It might be a benelovant demon

ColorStorm:
what makes a demon a "demon"?

Templar:
A super natural being that can be either benign or malevolent

Templar:
One example is Pazusu who was considered a demon but benign as it scared away other demons. Messopotamia mythology

Templar:
Or I think it was babalonian mythology in the first Century

Templar:
The Catholic Church does not allow women to become Priests, seeing women as a lower status than men. Is this kind of logic super sexist and also incredibly stupid. Surely God is not sexist ?

ColorStorm:
Yes, it's stupid, but so is the idea of having priests. As if we need some people to be go-betweens between regular people and God. And, if we did, as if the Catholic church would have any clue who's truly Godly. And as if there's such a thing as sin in God's eyes such that we'd need to confess. Etc.

Templar:
interesting

Is Jesus a common name in Latin countries ? I once worked with a Jesus, and his name was pronounced like 'Hey zeus'..

ColorStorm:
Hmm, I thought it was pronounced Hey Seuss

Yes, same thning..you just spelled the Zeus different

ColorStorm:
oh, in English Z is pronounced differently from S.

well, s can sound two ways. one is like Z, one isn't

Are you a good car driver?

ColorStorm:
I think I'm a terrible driver, driving is terrifying, and I'm stressed out having to try pay attention to what's going on in all directions at every second. I never even use my rear-view mirror. Or my side mirrors, I just look back when I'm going to switch lanes. But at least I can say I've never been in an accident.

Wieselmann:
Isnt it less stressfull to use the mirrors instead of looking back?

ColorStorm:
I don't know if it's stressful per se, I think I'm just so stressed out already that I do what seems immediately practical. And I never bothered to train myself

ColorStorm:
to use the side mirrors, I guess because I don't trust the blind spots

ColorStorm:
As for the rear mirror, it just doesn't seem necessary enough. I'm probably just undisciplined.

ColorStorm:
I don't drive anymore though btw.

Women: Would you ever become a surrogate mother as a personal favor to someone close to you? Men: How would you feel if you found out the love of your life was infertile?

ColorStorm:
It wouldn't bother me, I don't think it's ethical to have children, though I may be tempted to just because it would be really neat to have a mixture of myself and a girl I like running around on the planet, but I wouldn't be a good father and I'm a little old for that now anyway. Also, what Chris said, haha.

Wieselmann:
Because of overpopulation it is unethical to have more than 2 children. Change my mind.

I think it's unethical to have *any* children, and not only because of carbon footprint, waste, and resource consumption but also because life is just cruel, at least for a human.

Wieselmann:
Do you think it is okay to say "should of" instead of "should have"?

ColorStorm:
I would say absolutely not, but then dumb people can hardly help not realizing what's correct vs. incorrect grammar. So you might say that the silver lining of "should of" and other instances of bad grammar is that they signal when you're talking to someone with low intelligence and should therefore take their opinions or expertise with a grain of salt.

What are your electronic charging habits like? Let things die before charging? Keeping the charger in constantly? Never letting things go below 50%, etc.?

ColorStorm:
I keep everything plugged in 24/7. Well except for my Switch, because I don't play it often enough and it gets in the way. I used to keep my Switch controllers on a charger 24/7, but they kept mysteriously dying.. I blame the charger. I used to keep my phone off except when I'd be out so I wouldn't have to remember to charge it every two days or have to keep it on the charger 24/7 because I thought that might be bad for the battery, but nowadays I keep it on the charger all the time. I think, but I'm not sure, that battery technology has improved to the point where it's okay.

No, I'm against transhumanist aspirations. Also, that technology would probably get in the way of/replace/co-opt a natural psychic ability, probably just when it would have started to become popular. I think TV and radio did similar things.

What's your onion on those parents with "proud parent of an honors student" bumper stickers or otherwise parents who are openly proud (& potentially braggy) about their children's academic status?

ColorStorm:
Like Kate says, relatively harmless. I'm glad they're taking an interest in their kid and proud of them, but there are negative sides to it. 1. If their kid is superior for being an honors student, then that makes other kids inferior. It's not win/win, it's a zero-sum game. Even worse if the owners of that bumper sticker have other kids who aren't honors students. And 2. it's just a part of the whole conditional love thing, on the part of the parents, surrounding how well kids do in school, i.e. mental labor camp. School is one of the worst evils we subject our children to (not only does it inflict misery and turn oranges into clockwork, but it also kills all their creativity and trains them to be entirely left-brained), and those who don't excel at it are yelled at, hit, prevented from socializing with their friends, etc. Being proud of them for doing well in school is just the flip side of that coin.

nachopee:
What are some of the ways in which you are actively trying to improve yourself rn? (could be a health/lifestyle thing, a technical skill, how you behave in your relationships, whatever the fr*ck. these are just examples)

ColorStorm:
I try to not resent/hate people for all the various reasons I tend to, because I know it's not ideal and everybody hates everybody else too much and it doesn't help anything. I've found that if I just see their ugly character traits as "ugly" then it helps not to hate them. That's actually what they are, ugly, and why hate something just because it's ugly? Another interesting thing is someone said the other day that others are there to remind you of what you don't want to be, that it's not as personal as you think, or something like that. I think I've had a similar thought years ago. Another good practice is to look inward and see why someone's behavior offends you. Sometimes it's because you see yourself in their behavior and you don't accept that part of you. Or if they insulted you or got angry with you, why does that hurt? In the case of insulting, is it because of a fragile ego? Maybe that's something one could look into and improve upon? (I was going to say more about this but I can't remember what I was going to say :P) I think think we get angry when someone directs negativity at us because our first response would be to feel grief that we did something wrong to make them feel the way they do (there's a lot more love beneath the veil of human existence than we know), but we can't afford to feel grief every time someone directs negativity at us because it happens too often, so instead we get angry at them for trying to make us feel that way. Another way I try to improve myself is to try to regain some of the sharpness I lost over time by solving mathematical problems in my head. Like this morning I figured out what the ratio would have to be between the radius of an optical disk and the radius of the burned part for the area of the burned part to be equal to the area of the unburned part. (My original hunch was correct - sqrt(2)).. but then I realized I forgot to take into consideration the hole in the center. =P I also always mean to eat less to lose some of this belly fat, but it seems every day I get bored as sh\*t and cave and eat when I'm not hungry. =p

1) Look i get the idea of climate change, the planet is changing but i think we've done alot already at trying to heal it, but we may need to except this is nature and man can't strop it.

ColorStorm:
Why "accept" it as nature and something we can't stop, instead of trying to stop it? Especially considering we've caused it. Why just give up and get fucked? What we've done to try to mitigate climate change and the other things we're doing to the environment hasn't been *nearly* enough, and anyone who thinks otherwise is out of touch and in denial. This is a crisis.

ChrisMartinez:
i think ultimately we may not be able to stop it. hell i live in a coastal city we're probably going to have to move to another part sooner or later

Wasserpistole:
Do you sometimes or ever have the feeling, that you are cursed?

ColorStorm:
When I was younger I felt deeply that I was eternally damned. I've since grown to see life differently, but I have also since noticed that anytime something might go even slightly right for me, something happens out of the blue that prevents it. So I used to think that there was some evil force that was actively preventing me from having anything I wanted.. nowadays I'm split between two different ideas of it: 1, that there's some evil, ingenious, powerful entity relentlessly trying to destroy my soul (I wonder what I did to piss him off), or 2, that it's my own mind/expectations or my emotional frequency (we can experience only what resonates with us) that makes anything good impossible. I should mention that there's also the opposite force at play, where e.g. things that would have woken me up only happen after I wake up naturally, where people do what i hope they'll do, where questions I have but am too lazy to look up are magically answered within a day or two, etc. But it's never anything big enough to make me happy. =P

Wasserpistole:
Have you ever been ashamed because of a dream you had?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I think sometimes choices you make in dreams can have real impact. I had a dream once where I was on the phone with some tech support or something and I got frustrated--I think he got a little edgy--and I was right at the brink of either diffusing the situation or telling him off.. and I made the wrong choice. I told him off. I told my friend about it and she said 'what a fucked up dream. I wonder why you had it.' then she said sorry later and revealed that the reason she said that is that she had a feeling recently that she didn't have such a "blingin' vehicle" anymore and that it affected not only her but a number of people (I assume people I was connected to, directly or indirectly). I think the dream was given to me so that I could have done some good, the powers that be made a bet on me making the right decision, and I failed.

There is a friend of me who asked me if I would be upset when he and an ex of me would officially be together. Basically he asked me for sort of permission to sleep with my ex. How would you feel when asked that sort of thing? I'm still puzzled.

ColorStorm:
I think I might feel some amount of heartache (for the duration of their relationship), but I don't think "upset" is the right word. He certainly has a right to, it's none of my business, and I think it's a shame that it's a general rule that you don't go out with friends' exes, because nothing should get in the way of love.

Gotta fight now and then or you'll never be able to own anything, and "your suffering will be legendary" according to a quora post I read.

ColorStorm:
They way girls do their eyebrows nowadays is horrible. It makes them look like mannequins, inhuman. I also couldn't believe man-buns when they came out. It seemed so ridiculous, I couldn't believe people fell for it. I think septum piercings are an easy way to make a hot person look ugly af. I also can't understand how anyone could possibly like ear gauges.

LaDamaX:
Gauged ears sans gauges look like someone cut out a chicken’s a-hole and glued it to the sides of their head

A guy called eckhart tolle wrote about the pain body. I'm not sure how I feel about it. But I think it's where u get trapped into reacting from your wounds. He was a German I think. Anyone read his stuff?

ColorStorm:
I'm reading it now. I've been reading it for the past few days. I think the book contains a lot of wisdom. I'm not quite sure how I feel about his idea that the pain body is not *you*. He paints it as an entity on its own that will do anything to stay alive, and suggests that when somebody attacks from their pain body, it's not really them. This makes me wonder if he has a blindspot as to what one might be giving up (aspects of their personality) when they attain enlightenment, or at least his mode of enlightenment. Though he says that nothing that's real is ever lost, and seems to say/imply that one's pure identity is beyond their mind, which I guess is possible. Are you reading/have you read The Power of Now?

Alizeh:
Would you be willing to lie to a court for a close friend if it meant saving your friend from going to jail for life?

ColorStorm:
Yes, even if he committed the crime, because life imprisonment isn't necessarily a just outcome for the crime; I'm skeptical of the criminal justice system as a whole, I'm not totally sure we should have one, and even if we should, it's highly imperfect and I don't see it as the golden determiner of what's just. Also I'd hate to see a close friend go to prison for life. One could say it's selfish to let someone who committed a crime go free just because he's a close friend, but I see it as not much different from protecting myself; protecting a loved one is just an extension of that; and wouldn't most people lie in court if it meant they could spare themselves life in prison? There's a chance I could go to prison myself for lying in court, but it wouldn't be life so it's a gamble with a net positive outcome. Like others have said, I wouldn't do it if it meant some innocent person would go to prison for life instead. I'm not *that* selfish.

Wasserpistole:
Is Black-and-White Thinking ever a good thing? Do you know an example?

ColorStorm:
I suppose to say black and white thinking is never a good thing would be an example of black and white thinking.. I think it can be useful for arriving at conclusions that involve many steps of value judgments, where the black-and-white evaluations of those things are approximately true (true enough that it's not necessary to get into the nuances, while doing so would get you mired in endless complexity before you arrive at a conclusion). For example, if you were trying to think of the best possible system of government, you might want to think categorically that "corruption is bad."

What do you think about psychology and what role did it play in your life?

ColorStorm:
I think, from a distance, psychology is an interesting and useful field, though it's not something I'm generally personally interested in studying. It just doesn't match my personality to know too much about the human mind that's come from the avenue of research. I'd rather just rely on my own awareness and not get ahead of myself or see people in too mechanical a way. I think one very good/underrated thing to come out of psychology is Positive Psychology.

I read once of a person who ended up homeless, held his fist into the air with one dollar bill in it, his only possession, and it was the happiest moment of his life. I think it was the freedom of having no possessions or maybe no responsibilities or not having to answer to someone.

Did ur parents actively teach u values and how to act in society? I honestly don't remember my parents teaching me anything. Everything I picked up on my own as far as I know.

ColorStorm:
My dad just yelled at me with rage every time I made a mistake or annoyed him in the slightest. The only things he taught me was how not to annoy him (though to some degree it's inescapable) and that I can't trust others. Not sure what my mom taught me, maybe that I'm always wrong and can't trust myself to say something that's correct.

Life has its advantages when you are physically beautiful. Do you agree? / Das Leben hat seine Vorteile wenn du äußerlich schön bist. Stimmst du zu?

Definitely. It also has disadvantages. You never know when someone genuinely likes you or just likes you for your looks. Most of them just want to get into your pants for your looks. Another possible disadvantage (I think it's debatable whether this is actually a disadvantage) is that people naturally elevate you, even if you're vapid, so you're never challenged to grow an actual personality.

Wasserpistole:
How about leaving the "end of the world"and "panic" argument out of the whole debate?

In your own words (i.e., no cheating or I'll eat your ass), what is DNA? What it looks like, what it does, where it is, etc. (I wanna know what ppl who don't think about it all the time understand it to be; no judgment, just curious)

ColorStorm:
not cheating it stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. it's a really long molecule. it's all bundled up in the cell but it's about 6 feet long in humans if you were to unravel it. every cell of every animal, plant and bacteria has one of this molecule. it's in the shape of a double helix. when a cell divides this molecule is copied. when a zygote is created from two parents, some of the DNA information comes from one parent and some comes from the other. it contains all the information that defines how the organism is made up. it's more specifically i think it just encodes what proteins are made? it has means of error correction. it contains, umm, i think 46(??) chromosones in 23 pairs. one of the pairs is special and specific to the person's gender. an X and an X for females, an X and a Y for males. the chromosones are made of codons, which are small groups of base pairs of molecules. one base goes in one helix and is connected to the other base in the other helix. the bases are adenine, guanine, and i forget the other two. there's about 4 billion bytes of information in a single human DNA strand. i think before the DNA codes for proteins it's converted into RNA which actually does the encoding. most of the DNA information is called 'junk DNA' because it's suspected to made of up information that's not used, but we're not really sure whether it has a purpose or not. we have 99% of our DNA in common with our closest relative and 50% in common with bacteria. i'd know a lot more about DNA if my memory weren't so bad. there's probably more facts that I know about it if I thought longer.

ColorStorm:
oh i forgot to mention that one of the four base pairs is always paired with one specific other one. since there are four base pairs and i think e.g. adenine

ColorStorm:
can be on either side of the helix that makes four different possibilities for each .. thingy

Not *necessarily*. There could be value in debating these things, or if not that then at least value in having the freedom to speak openly about one's political opinions. But if a site's creators *do* strive for neutrality I think that's fine. There's enough forums out there that one specializing in being politically neutral wouldn't hurt--some people would probably like it, and those that wouldn't don't have to participate.

The person who convinced the first community to put fluoride in their drinking water was a lawyer for a company that needed to find a way to get rid of some extra fluoride... I'm not sure it's completely healthy. People say it calcifies your pineal gland, for example. I don't know if that's true or false. But it would just makes sense if it's true, it seems everything is designed to keep us down.. (I don't mean because of some human conspiracy, but some kind of invisible force.) Fluoride helps us from getting cavities and such, but what would be even better than ingesting a questionable chemical element would be if we had a healthier diet that didn't eat away at our teeth. People in tribal societies don't brush their teeth and they seem to do fine. They also don't have jaws that are too small for all their teeth like we do because they have enough nutrients early on.

How's your relationship with your mother in comparison to your father?

ColorStorm:
My dad is a very harsh person and regularly yells and causes at people very nastily. He's not as bad as he used to be, but he used to be so bad for my entire childhood that he severely fucked me up and I'm still afraid of him, so I'm always tense and on the defense when we're in the same room. I talk to him sometimes, but not a lot, and I'm not nearly as close to him as my mom. My mom was pretty bad when I was growing up too, but not as bad, and I don't remember it as much, and she's changed a lot more than my dad has. My mom and I get along pretty well, though some things about her personality tend to frustrate me. I often have dreams where I get so frustrated with her that I end up yelling at cussing at her. In waking life I'm afraid to express my anger (because I always feel like I'm the one at fault (probably partly because my mom argues about everything like she's infallible when she could be perceived as being in the wrong in even the most minor possible way, and will say anything, whether it's logical or not, to have the last word), and probably also because if I'd ever expressed anger (back) at my father when I was growing up he would have fried my soul), so I guess my anger gets pent up over time.

Hypothesis: People are generally more hornier in sunny weather - what do you think of this hypothesis?

I don't like how everyone assumes that it's because people show more skin in the summer just because that's a possible explanation (assuming your hypothesis is right). That's so rationalistic. Yes, it could be a factor, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily *the* explanation. It could be that sunny weather affects us emotionally somehow. Finding one clever explanation and assuming it's the case is a common thing that so-called 'skeptics' (i.e. denialists), naturalists, scientistics, etc. do.

What’s worse: a stray dog that runs up on you and starts sizing you up or a dog that has an owner but the owner has no control over their pet, and it basically antagonizes you without the owner doing anything to stop it?

the former, because the owner would probably put a stop to it before the dog seriously hurts you, if for no other reason than because he's liable..

Do you think the 'Raid of Area 51' will actually happen?

ColorStorm:
I think to most people it's a joke, but given how many people signed up probably a few hardcore people will take it seriously and might even try to infiltrate Area 51.. I've heard they have guards with machine guns roaming around in vehicles, I don't know if they normally kill people who try to get in, but if they do hopefully they'll treat this event with a little more delicacy..

Your brother (18 years old) tells you: My girlfriend (18) wants a child with me right now! What would you tell him?

ColorStorm:
That he's too young to give up his life for a child, and that people who have children are less happy (I think there was a study on this). Also it's unethical to bring a child into this hell of a place. And the girl probably doesn't know what she's doing. Why does she want a child so young? And what happens when you two inevitably break up if you have a child?

ChrisMartinez:
is the placebo effect a viable treatment option?

ColorStorm:
As far as I know, placebos don't actually cure diseases, they just improve the patient's subjective feeling of their well-being. I guess in some cases that's all you can do, or maybe you meant in addition to other treatments. But I'm not sure it's ethical.. you're tricking the patient. The ends justifies the means? Not if you think lying is an inherent evil, which it feels like it is. Also if placebos were routinely used as treatments then word would get out and people would be skeptical that any medicine they get might be a placebo, thus lessening their effect and maybe also their likelihood of taking their medicine. Though placebos do demonstrate the power of the mind/belief in making people feel better, so maybe there's a legitimate way of tapping into that other than lying to patients, such as instructing them to do visualizations.

Emtiendoo:
why is it that we have strong desires for everything to change but also for everything to remain the same?

ColorStorm:
We're afraid of change, because it's disruptive and we're set it our ways and it could mean change for the worse. But at the same time, we don't like everything about things the way they are, and also we recognize that we can't keep on living the way we do forever. Though I'm not sure that we want the same things to remain the same that we want to change. Maybe it's simply that some things we want to change (though we want them to change exactly on our terms), and some things we want to remain the same. And also, you say "we" collectively..some people want some things to change, and perhaps some people would rather everything stay the same. Or at least different people want different things to change vs. staying the same.

In a few weeks I'm giving a "3 Minute Thesis" talk about my research project to a general audience. My research is about tropical hibernators. What are some questions or ideas you have about hibernation that I might be able to address in my talk?

ColorStorm:
I don't know much about hibernation, I wonder if it's deeper than sleep? I know it's longer.. I don't have to eat much when I sleep all day so I can understand how hibernation can reduce the need for food. Does an animal that normally hibernates in the winter hibernate if there's no winter that year? (Maybe they were transported to another place.) What if it grows up its entire life in a place with no winter? Does it depend on what its parents teach it? I don't know if everyone will be curious about the same things I am, some of those things I'm just asking because I'm personally curious. =P

nachopee:
If we consider metabolic depression as a continuum, we can think of sleeping as a shallow form and place it on one end and then deep hibernation @ the other end

nachopee:
As for your 2nd Q, we don't know all the signals hibernators use to "decide" they're going to hibernate, but light and temperature are very powerful zeitgebers.

nachopee:
Squirrels (a common hibernation model) follow a pretty strict circannual schedule in nature, but if you mess with temp/light, their normal cycles can shift up

nachopee:
or be delayed depending on the change you made. It can screw up their reproduction timing since they mate right after coming out of hibernation... which raises

ColorStorm:
Who knows? It depends on how intrinsically valuable a singe life is. It depends on whether that soul would have existed even if he weren't born. It depends on whether the people he killed had afterlives. It depends on whether a life of pain and suffering is better than no life at all. We don't know these things.

Students from my home state helped pass a bill allowing students to take mental health days, just as they can sick days. What are your thoughts on all of it? https://time.com/5631238/oregon-students-mental-health-days/

ColorStorm:
I didn't read the article, but I'm guessing that this is functionally the same as just giving people whatever days off they want because you can't prove someone doesn't need a mental health day.. so is it a good thing to let people take whatever days off they want? I think probably anything that gives people more freedom (at least/especially regarding schedule) at work and school is a good thing. It's way too strict as it is. The wage slavery / mental labor camp is torturous enough without (further) forcing people to be clockwork oranges with a strict schedule.

My pockets don't bulge much. I just carry my phone in one pocket and my wallet in the other. The wallet is aluminum so it has a fixed width / doesn't get wider the more stuff I put in it. But I have to be careful how much stuff I put in it or it won't close. No more storing dozens of quarters, dollar bills, and gift cards like in my last wallet. (My last wallet was a $70 woven steel wallet that I lost at Dunkin Donuts. ;P) Even with that wallet bulging wasn't a huge problem because I have deep pockets and my pants are pretty loose. Not too long ago I started getting pants with pockets that zip shut because my wallet and phone slip out so often, especially when I go to the movies. =p

I'm not normally funny but I've been funny a few times in my life. It's how I got my last girlfriend. I don't think it's something you can learn, so much, you just have to be in the right headspace. Of course, for the most part, headspace is a lifelong thing. But I guess we have a little bit of flexibility. Not sure if everyone has the flexibility to suddenly be funny once in a while or if that's just me. Anyway, if it can happen once in a while I guess it could happen permanently. That would be harder or less likely though.

ppl scrambling to find ways to stop mass shootings. just teach your kids to treat ppl with respect. U know what u NEVER hear during this, how much that shooter was likely tortured by those kids. I don't have alot of sympathy for these victims

ColorStorm:
It's good to have compassion for the shooters too instead of simply hating and demonizing them--they're humans too. But the victims deserve sympathy too. Like others have said, they don't just go in and shoot the people who tortured them, they shoot randomly. One of the shootings, I don't remember which one but it was a major one, the shooter was severely autistic and I guess taking care of him was too much for his mother so she was going to put him in some kind of "home"... he got insanely jealous of the kids she loved and cared for at school so he went in and massacred them. Had nothing to do with the action of the kids.

I think I rarely make grammar/spelling errors because I proofread as I type. Once in a while something gets through, like the other day I noticed later that I left out a word, but fortunately it didn't change the meaning of the sentence once. And often I type "possible" instead of "possibly" and overlook it. Other than that though.. I'm not sure, but I think I wouldn't delete and redo the question/answer unless it the error made it impossible or hard to understand correctly... though if I think of something later that I want to add I'll probably delete it and answer again, I do that a lot.

They're probably mostly more confident than I am, but that's just because almost everyone is more confident than I am =p (Idk if I seem relatively confident or even cocky online, that's different, things are a lot easier for me online.)

Besides this place, what other social media are you on and how often do you frequent those places?

ColorStorm:
Facebook, but I don't go on there every day and when I do it's usually like less than a minute. Twitter, I don't find it as fun as this but there's 24/7 activity there unlike this place. I don't post much there except for retweets and a few replies here and there so I'm not really popular. I guess some days i spend hours there, not sure. YouTube, I don't think of that as social media but somebody mentioned it so I will too. I usually go there following a link somebody posted somewhere, but all in all I probably use it several times a day.

Do you buy namebrands or offbrand/generic versions of things? I'm not always sold on "brand you can trust" delivering on any discernible quality

ColorStorm:
Depends on the type of thing. For clothing I don't care at all about the brand, I don't even look at the brand. I have no idea what brands I wear. The type of thing I probably care about brands the most regarding is electronics. You just can't trust the no-name stuff. I guess it's because if you don't have a reputation to keep up because nobody knows who you are then you have no incentive to make a decent product. That and because the popular brands are probably popular for a good reason. For things that aren't clothes or electronics, I'm not sure, I guess I don't care about brand much. Just recently my second Philips Airfloss broke so I got another brand of tooth irrigator thingy because it looked pretty and it had four and a half stars on Amazon, and it *sucked*. I used it once and stashed it away and bought an actual Waterpik the same day.

ColorStorm:
You mean if *all* the options are far right wing? I think it's only sensible to vote for the lesser of the evils, as painful as it might be.

ColorStorm:
If there's a third party you approve of, even if they have no chance to win, you might as well vote for them. The chances of your individual vote determining

ColorStorm:
the outcome of the election are so astronomically low that it makes no sense only to vote for someone who's likely to win.

ColorStorm:
If you vote for the person you like, at least you'll add 1 to their numbers and boost public confidence in third options by just a little bit.

[From the documentary series "The World at War"] Should one resist a tyranny without hope of success?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. On one hand, you can lose life and limb fighting tyranny for no reason, which really sucks. On the other hand, I think it does something to your soul when you just lay down and accept tyranny without a fight. It makes you more likely to be a victim in the future. And I think fighting against tyranny, even when it's hopeless, establishes that there is still resistance to tyranny in general which would be a deterrent of some level to future would-be tyrants.

If you were born intersex (what gender would you decide to live your life then?) Curious would life be better as female or male in your eyes.

I think it depends on which gender I looked like most. I'd want to be as true as possible. Would I have breasts? (Do all intersex people have breasts?) If so I'd probably identify as a female. But then, could I have breasts and also the face of a male? I don't know much about how intersex works. If so, maybe I would identify as a male. If intersexes can bald and I started balding eventually then I'd have to identify as a male.

A woman could have a beautiful face and body, and it'd be completely canceled out if she had short hair. Short hair on a woman is a shame. Except when she's not attractive at all to begin with, then it doesn't matter. Long hair on a man is okay, maybe a little vain? I think it looks cool though, and I bet women (or some women) do too.

nachopee:
How many times have you asked out / actively pursued a person you found attractive? Is it an easy thing for you to do?

ColorStorm:
I've never done it in person. Online I've hit on girls in various ways and matched with and talked to people on dating sites, and even went on a date once. I've never gotten so far as to ask someone out online, except that one date I had, but that was basically her leading the way the whole time. I've been with girls I met online, but it just kinda happened in ways other than me asking them out per se. It's the hardest thing in the world for me. I don't even talk to girls IRL, let alone ask them out. I don't even talk to GUYS, let alone girls. Which is a shame, just yesterday I was at target and I liked this one cashier. Then a few minutes later my mom and I were in the back of one of the lines and she enthusiastically told us two that she'd take us on register 10. And she was very chatty. My mom left for a couple of minutes and she asked me a few questions, I think it was just to make conversation. I guess she liked me? Idk. I don't know how you ask out a cashier anyway, it's probably against company policy for them to give their number out, and there's not really enough time to talk to lead up to asking someone for their number. Which is a shame, because I meet a lot of cashiers I like who seem to have great personalities. I mean, yeah, I know they're paid to be nice to people, but I still think some of them seem like genuinely great people. And also cashiers are the only girls I ever meet/talk to. =/

ColorStorm:
She had kind of a retro haircut, like she's not into being fashionable or making people like her, and she had a cute face but in an unusual way.. she seemed

Do children need a father and a mother in order to have a healthy upbringing?

ColorStorm:
Having a father and a mother doesn't mean you have a healthy upbringing. Almost nobody has a healthy upbringing in today's society, because most people don't make good parents. The nuclear family is just a model that came about (I think in response to the industrial revolution?), it's not how people were meant to be raised. Children were meant to be raised by the whole society, particularly the elders. THAT's how you have a healthy upbringing.

so you can actually hold it and have it melt in your hand

I bought four vials of it once and played with it a bit, not sure where they are now though.

Andy:
Should employers grant time off to grieve for the death of a pet?

ColorStorm:
Well, yeah, but I think we shouldn't have to think up where the lines are to be drawn w.r.t. when an employee should or should not be granted time off. I think employees should be able not to work whenever they want. I can see how this would cause problems, but I also have a solution. So, companies would presumably suffer because sometimes they'd have a lack of employees, or even be missing a key employee. But what if every company had a pool of many more employees than they actually need on a daily basis, so at any given time they can use however many they need? But how would you do that, when all those people you're not using need to make a living so would have other jobs? The answer is that *everyone* would have many simultaneous jobs and this would allow them to work whenever they feel like working by going to whichever of their jobs needs someone at the moment. Each person would be trained and skilled at each job they're signed up for. This would make work a lot less monotonous and somewhat more fulfilling because there would be more variation in one's tasks and environment and a greater amount of learning, knowledge and skills involved. Of course, if everyone can take off work whenever they want, what would companies do on holidays, when Christmas is coming up, etc., when *nobody* wants to work? The answer is just to pay more for those days to increase demand for someone in their pool to want to work. That way you let the market solve the problem and the employees get the extra compensation they deserve for working at inconvenient times.

Andy:
Virgin do that (take as much holiday as you like - just get your work done). Job design would need to be very high level though.

How do you fight laziness?

ColorStorm:
I don't; if I'm lazy there's a good reason for it (like depression, or the fact that the things I have to do or am able to are relatively meaningless and tedious), and I'd rather not spiritually/mentally abuse myself by kicking my own ass or psyching myself out to get myself to do something. =P Of course, sometimes in life you have to do things..I just think hard about what bad things will happen if I don't do those things until I'm ready to get up and do them. =P It's particularly tricky because most of the things I have to do can be put off for an arbitrary but not infinite amount of time so I have to pick a time when I say, "Okay NOW is the time I do this" even though I don't really *have* to do it at that time. Examples: brushing teeth (the longer you wait the worse it is, but very gradually), buying presents (the longer I wait the less likely it'll get here in time and also the fewer options will be available on their Amazon wishlists), wrapping presents (have to get it done by the time we leave for Christmas, so I pick the best time), cleaning my room (have to get it done by the time my g/f gets here, and there's really no time I'm going to feel like doing it.. but maybe some times will be less bad than others)

I have an okay short-term memory but my long-term memory sucks ass.

[2020-01-03]

Alizeh:
Which is more real mind or matter ?

ColorStorm:
I think the only thing that exists is life, so matter could be some kind of collectively created mental projection. Or, maybe it's life itself, as viewed from a certain perspective that can perceive life as a solid, or maybe the physical universe is some giant soul who became so dense that we can interface with it in this manner. At any rate, I believe that even atoms have some awareness/consciousness. So basically, the line between mind and matter isn't as clear as we tend to think it is. If I had to pick one, though, I'd say mind is more real. We have direct apprehension of the contents of our mind, and only indirect evidence of the existence of matter, and awareness of mind / mind's contents is both chronologically and epistemologically primary to the awareness of matter.. and, of course, our awareness of something or potential awareness of something is essential to any claim of its realness or existence.

Wieselmann:
What are some arguments against the existence of karma?

ColorStorm:
- Good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people, all the time. We don't usually observe people's deeds catching up with them, short of the enforcement of it we make as people and as a society. People argue that karma will catch up with them in a future life, or that when bad things happen to us in this life it's because we did something bad in a previous life, but that's just conveniently deferring it to the realm of the unobservable. Besides, it would make more sense for karma to work in the current life where the person still had the psychological context to appreciate the "wrong" decision they made, and not to mention where others can observe it in action and learn from it instead of having to learn the harder way. - You could argue that people don't really learn from being punished--especially when it's not right after they did the "bad" thing--or if they do then it's only on a superficial level; they learn not to do that thing again (or, conversely, if they're rewarded they learn to do that thing more often), but not in a way that makes them a better person or more aware. - You could argue that nobody ever does anything wrong given their own model of the world. Or that everybody is ultimately innocent--if not for that reason, then because we're all the same being on the deepest level, and whatever another person does, you would do the exact same thing if you were in their shoes in every sense. In this case, punishment for wrongdoings makes no sense (cf: *two wrongs don't make a right*), and inasmuch as anyone "deserves" anything, everyone deserves whatever is best for them and everyone else involved at that time.

Superpower/superhero fights sometimes bother me a little because the power/physics will be inconsistent, like when one goes flying cuz the other punched them which contradicts other aspects of the fight and stuff.

Some mothers, fathers are horrible towards their children. They abuse them in every way and yet some children, despite all the suffering, still love their parents and they also don't break up contact as adults. Why is that so? What do you think?

ColorStorm:
I think it's normal for little kids to love their parents no matter how bad their parents are to them. It's because kids are so loving of everybody in general, and because their parents are the main figures in their lives and their caretakers. And the ways we develop as kids stay with us.

Not pleasant, but seemingly skilled because it's so fast. Though a lot of it is just going up and down the keys. And if I didn't know better I'd suspect he's just playing random notes. xD

I'd say I don't like how nothing is spelled like it sounds and words' spellings are so arbitrary, but if the language were made totally uniform it would probably be ugly af. Also I don't like how there's no "themself"/"theirself" so you have to say "themselves" even when it's singular. Or how there's no gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun, so you have to use "they" which is plural. I think some words to fill in this role have been proposed, but they all sound retarded to me.

Isnt "it" gender neutral third person?

well yeah, but i mean one that refers to people.. if you refer to a person as "it" it's awkward =p

Wieselmann:
What are the requirements for something to be a "physical object" ?

ColorStorm:
That's a tough one. I even suspect that any rigorous definition of a physical object would contradict what we know of physics, hence proving that the idea of a totally "physical" object is naive. For example, if physicality is anything, it's mechanistic. Yet how can an object be 100% mechanistic when it accords with the principles of quantum mechanics which includes behavior that's fundamentally unpredictable? I mean you might say that if we had enough information and knew all the rules we could predict even quantum events, but that's purely speculative. Also any such model would have to be non-local (per Bell's inequality), and aren't objects pretty much localized by definition? As another example, we could say that a physical object can't be something abstract like a wave (a wave is physical, but it's not an object), yet in QM we know that every object corresponds to a wave, the bigger the object the higher the frequency of the wave. I could say that for an object to be physical it must (aside from being an *object*) be detectable by physical instruments. But there are two problems with that. (1) is that it's circular: how do you know if a detecting instrument is physical or not? And (2) is that it's all one reality, and if anything non-physical exists in reality then it must affect physical things in one way or another or we could never know of (and hence speak of) them. So that implies that non-physical things (like a soul) may be detectable by physical instruments if only we know what to look for. To solve (1), I could say that a physical object must be detectable by instruments that we can read with our physical senses, where a "physical sense" is any sense that's not principally psychic, such as sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch (mainly sight and sound). But that leaves problem 2. To solve (2) I could say that *every* aspect of the thing in question, down to its essence, must be detectable by the physical instrument. The problem with that, though, if we have no idea, and no way of knowing, if regular everyday physical things are physically detectable in every aspect. If we could mathematically model something and predict 100% of its behavior with the appropriate inputs, then we could surmise that we've accounted for 100% of the object. But again, per QM we can *never* 100% predict *anything's* behavior. Therefore we don't know what "more to the story" there may be behind "physical" objects at large. Another tempting way to solve (2) would be to say that the object must be *directly* detectable by physical instruments as opposed to indirectly. but the problem with that is that there are plenty of things we think of as physical that we can only indirectly detect, such as, for example, quarks. So, again, my strong suspicion is that *nothing* is really physical in the way we think of "physical"--there's *always* more to the story, way more. However, given that we do have a common-sense idea of what things are (or at least appear) "physical" vs. what things aren't, it may be possible to come up with a definition of "physical" that satisfies that common-sense idea, at least for the most part. But I think that definition would be rather weak and ad hoc.

When with a group of people if someone tells a bad joke (and I find a *lot* of jokes that other people find funny lame), I don't laugh. I'm not sure what I would do if it were just me and them.

Emtiendoo:
If velocity (v=dx/dt) is defined as the movement of an object in space (dx) over time (dt), and space and time are the same thing, does that not follow that velocity must equal either 1 or 0/0? (v=x/x)

ColorStorm:
I'm not an expert, but my feeling is that it's a little simplistic to say that space and time are the same thing, though they're definitely intertwined in a way that defies intuition. Some people say that the speed of light is the conversion factor between units of space and units of time. I guess by that logic v always = c? Which I happen to believe is probably the case: things traveling at speeds slower than c are actually made up of smaller units of energy that are traveling within the particle in circles (or other circuitous shapes) at the speed of light. For example, in an atom, the "electrons" are propagating around the atom in a de Broglie wave at the speed of light. Or maybe slightly slower, but then, who knows what's happening "inside" the electrons. And then you'd have to make up a similar story for the protons/neutrons or the quarks that make them up, etc.

Emtiendoo:
Well if x=0, then v is equivalent to any arbitrary variable including c.

Have you ever experienced a hallucination?

ColorStorm:
When I was psychotic for the first time at age 21 or 22, I heard a voice three different times. Clear as a bell, but I could tell somehow it was only happening in my head. The first time it was an androgynous voice that said, when I was near the point of collapsing due to psychic exhaustion, "The power of the gods is in the archetypes." The other two were helpful (and maybe that one was too, I dunno). One of the other two apparently knew things about the future or at least knew things I didn't. Oh, and I also had an olfactory hallucination during that period where I could smell a smell with my *entire body*. It smelled like "the beginning of the beginning", or like the purest blue astral flower you could imagine.

ColorStorm:
Oh, and once while waking up I could have sworn I

ColorStorm:

What's a business idea you've had or think should exist?

ColorStorm:
An NPO that acts as an incubator for, or otherwise facilitates, other NPOs, employee-owned businesses or community projects, so any community that wants to start a local business by and for the people can use the services of that NPO instead of having to become experts in business-building themselves, which would be a barrier if nobody in the community feels like doing that. As mentioned it would also take care of community projects (say, museums, parks, etc.) that enough people in a community want to set up. It would have to work with local government, of course, maybe acting a go-between between the people and the government. Unlike a normal government-sponsored project, it wouldn't rely on an increase in taxes for everyone or everyone agreeing to that. It would rely on donations. If it doesn't receive enough donations to realize a given project, then all the donators get their money back. Also each project would have a place on the web where people can propose and vote on various aspects of its design. I guess the person appointed main project overseer/designer would have to create possible compromises on the design (some of them based on designs proposed by members of the community) whose price estimations meet the available funds which can then be voted on. I'd call the NPO Project Catalyst Organization, or ProCat for short. I have other business ideas, but you asked for one. =P

Are you a sub or a dom?

ColorStorm:
Not into BDSM (and I think it's unhealthy), but socially I'm definitely a sub. Like as subby as it gets.

nachopee:
why do you think BDSM is unhealthy

ColorStorm:
If you're into BDSM I don't mean to put you down, nobody in this world is 100% healthy, me included.. But to answer your question, BDSM is about inflicting

ColorStorm:
receiving pain, and/or power imbalances. In the real world when one has excessive power over another (or arguably any power), it's an imbalance and subjugating

ColorStorm:
and unhealthy for (I think?) obvious reasons. It's abuse. The fact than in the case of BDSM it's in a role-playing context that doesn't automatically take all

ColorStorm:
of the corruption out of it. As for sadism/masochism, pain is meant to be something to be avoided, its biological/evolutionary function is to deter us from

ColorStorm:
something (well, I think it does more than just that, but I won't get into that.) So growing to enjoy it is a kind of perversion.

ColorStorm:
And all of this stuff--domination, subordination, inflicting pain, receiving pain, bondage--when used to sexually excite is an indicator that the people

ColorStorm:
involved are probably at least to a degree, unable to get aroused in a "natural" context, so their sexuality is kind of buried. And the fact that it's drawn out

ColorStorm:
through abuse/power imbalance just means that they have deep psychological issues surrounding abuse and power imbalance. (I put "natural" in quotes because

ColorStorm:
one could argue that there's nothing necessarily unnatural about BDSM, or that most of the things people do are "unnatural" anyway, but maybe you know what I'm

ColorStorm:
trying to say. Two bodies and personalities getting together, especially with a little bit of foreplay, *should* be enough of a context to create eroticism.)

ColorStorm:
(those 'deep psychological issues' surrounding abuse and power imbalance *might* be a normal part of the human condition, but the human condition is pretty

ColorStorm:
f'd up)

nachopee:
1 thing to consider is there's a spectrum of enjoyment of BDSM-specific dynamics. Even some of the most extreme practitioners of BDSM are very good at drawing

nachopee:
boundaries between where those dynamics begin and where they end. Some extreme ppl don't do that so much, and I think that's not healthy. But there are plenty

nachopee:
of people who are mild "practitioners" of BDSM activities and I don't think it is unhealthy for those ppl to experience that pain/infliction/imbalance in a safe

nachopee:
and controlled setting with someone they wanna get hot with.

ColorStorm:
Well..I was already assuming the people involved had strong boundaries regarding where the dynamic begins and ends. It's the concept itself that I think is

ColorStorm:
perverted. Not that I'm not perverted in different ways. =p

Is it better to be dead than to live with never ending pain and fear?

ColorStorm:
If it were truly never-ending, maybe. Not that we can really know that it will be never-ending. I think even when one's existence is more suffering than joy, something is better than nothing as nick said. But I think there's a limit. When it gets too bad, death is actually better. I don't think death is actually cessation of existence, but I'm answering as if it is because when it comes to the question of suicide, it's hard to know for sure what's true so we should be conservative in our assumptions.

When do you think the first humans will land on mars?

ColorStorm:
I don't think they should try it, the trip is too long and dangerous and I don't think they would survive. If they do make it there they probably won't make it back. And the failure would be a huge bummer for humanity. Not to mention how much it would cost, money that could go to much more humanitarian and needful causes. As for when it will happen successfully.. I don't know. If we really wanna do it I'd say somewhere in the next 200 years.

Can racist jokes be okay?

ColorStorm:
If they're said by someone of the same race and not out of spite for their own race then I guess it's okay. At least/especially if they say them to members of their own race and everybody laughs. Also, if someone tells a racist joke and there's nobody of that race in the room to be offended, does it really hurt anybody? You could argue that the person's racism is potentially harmful in other contexts, but he'd be racist whether he tells the joke or not. Or you could argue that it influences the mentality of the people who hear the joke, but I think that influence would be close to nothing.

I also practiced thinking nothing while reading The Power of Now (though later I found out that he doesn't actually condone suppressing thought), and I guess that stuck a little bit too.

Kate:
American company SpaceX wants to get people to Mars. Should we do that? Travel there? Loot that planet if possible? Or is there a way preventing that? Is it a dream holiday?

ColorStorm:
I don't think we should do that just because the journey is too dangerous. They barely even made it back from the moon. It would really suck to be stuck on Mars until you died slowly. Even them dying on the way there or back would be a real bummer for humanity. Also it's not worth the money. It's a very inefficient application of labor, and those rich aholes who go to Mars could've better spent their money on charities/causes. As for looting the planet, I don't think it matters at all what we do to Mars since it's a barren planet, and even if it weren't, the amount of damage we could do to the planet by sending small groups of people there by rocket would be minimal, like a fraction of a trillionth of the damage we do to this planet. As for whether it's a dream holiday, Mars is a pretty monotonous place, it's all pretty much the same color, all rocks, no flora or fauna, you have to spend your whole time indoors or in a space suit, etc. But maybe it could be a dream holiday for some, to each their own. If you're talking about \*colonizing\* Mars, I think that would be way more difficult/impossible than people like to imagine. It's a pipe dream with our current technology. There are no resources there to use or convert, and probably all the labor on Earth would be enough to put enough resources on Mars to perpetually sustain just a small village (I dunno, wildly guessing there).

What are you thoughts on what's going on in Minnesota (rioting) and how would you "fix" police brutality? This? https://i.imgur.com/ZDSlM29.jpg

ColorStorm:
- ALL police should have to have cameras on them at all times and *on* whenever they engage with someone. If something happens and they're sued and their camera was off, guilt should be assumed. - The "blue code" should be dissolved by holding police accountable for keeping quiet about crimes by their fellow officers and actively searching out and prosecuting officers who do this. - For really serious crimes by police officers (murder, I guess), where there's no ambiguity about who's at fault, the police officer should be killed by firing squad. Because of the high amount of power they wield, they should be *more* accountable for their crimes rather than less so. As for the Minnesota riots, blacks tend to riot, presumably in protest, by setting fire to their own businesses and properties, using it as an excuse to steal from stores, etc. It's hard to have sympathy for them. Go national guard.

ZouBisouBisou:
I don't agree that it's "blacks", but certainly opportunists with a propensity for crime.

Are you one to suffer from caffeine withdrawals?

ColorStorm:
I love my Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso & Cream's, I usually have one a day, sometimes two, and I feel really good when I drink one. But I don't know if it's the taste or the caffeine that makes me feel good. The feeling comes instantly, and it doesn't make me feel extra 'awake' or active or anything, which is why I think it's probably just the taste. If I don't have one I sometimes really miss it but I don't think that missing feels like withdrawal. Though I've never been addicted to any (other?) drugs to compare it to.

No, like I was saying to slagathor, I think from the government's point of view the riots are simply something to be quashed, and they have too much pride to capitulate and give us police reform because of a bunch of rebels/"terrorists"/looters, etc. I honestly feel like they'd go so far as to fight and win a civil war before giving into rioter's wishes.

Have you ever downloaded any copyrighted material (like TV shows, movies, audio books, video games, porn, etc) via torrent?

ColorStorm:
Yes, plenty of times. Not so much porn since so much of it is freely available but I have a little (the fappening and a couple of other things). I don't pirate software nowadays so much because I don't trust it not to contain malware, and I really don't like reinstalling everything, and I have tons of passwords, software keys, and other things on my computer. And I don't often need to pirate movies anymore because we have a Netflix DVD account. Just a few weeks ago I pirated some audio books, but I don't listen to audio books.. I was trying to pirate some books in text form and it came with some audiobooks, I think. So I guess I don't use torrents nearly as often as I used to.

arman:
I didn't know about Netflix DVD accounts. You rent DVDs from where? They mail the DVDs to you? And after some time you have to return it?

ColorStorm:
Yes, exactly. They mail you the DVD or Blu-Ray and you can keep it as long as you want but you can't get a new one until you return it

ColorStorm:
the website is dvd.com

ColorStorm:
they used to have options where you can pay more to have like 2 or 3 at a time, but i don't think they had those when we signed up

it's probably not available in your country, my Canadian friend says it's not available in Canada

Interesting. No foreign streaming or DVD service is available in my country. That's one of the main reasons I still pirate.

If a 10 year old boy rapes a 7 year old girl and it really is rape and not fucking sex and the little girl is destroyed after that shit. My question is, what should happen to the 10 year old?

ColorStorm:
Maybe he should go to therapy, but I don't know if it's an issue he has or if it's just bad character or sociopathy, in which case therapy wouldn't help. Well, I guess short of being a sociopath, which is something people are born with, if a 10-year-old is doing that he *must* have family issues. There should probably be an investigation by child services and hopefully he'd be taken away from his parents. Maybe you could send him to juvie (at least in the US where we have that), but the only valid purpose of that would be to protect other little girls from him. And that's problematic because how long are you gonna keep him there? Life? When he gets out he could rape again, so there's no point, and sending a 10-year-old kid to prison for life for one crime is messed up.

Wasserpistole:
Prison is out of the question but we need to make sure he never rapes another child. I read this in the comment section of a yt video, a documentary about

Wasserpistole:
child molestation in Germany and a woman wrote that she was raped at the age of 7 by a 10 year old and that it destroyed her soul, also that nothing happened

Once I spent a few hours looking at 'stick figure deaths' (animations of stick figures submitted by members of the website), and I had an idea for one where a guy is sitting on a toilet and he can't go so he drinks an entire bottle of laxative and then it comes out with such force that he jets up to the ceiling like a rocket, his head makes a hole in the ceiling and goes through it, and he dies. Then a little bit later I saw someone submitted that exact idea, with the laxative and everything (except that in his I don't think he made a hole in the ceiling, I think he just splatted on it).

If you could choose, would you prefer to be werewolf, vampire, or demon? 🤔 why?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't choose any if that's an option, but if I had to choose one, vampire, because they're so much more elegant than lowly, crude demons and besides, all the girls love them. And werewolves are nasty, animalistic, hairy creatures; no thanks. Though vampires do have the disadvantage that they don't have a soul. I suppose if I were a demon then at least I'd have the opportunity for growth, ascension and redemption.

Self-proclaimed biohacker Josiah Zayner believes gene editing technology should be accessible to everybody, not just scientists in a lab. He sells DIY kits so you can, for example, edit the genome of bacteria to be bioluminescent. WDYT of his mission?

ColorStorm:
I dunno, mixed feelings but mostly uncertainty because I don't know that much. I mean.. it's neat to be able to hack bacteria's genes, but if you hack anything that's sentient there's serious ethical concerns. What if you make a miserable monster? Also, whether hacking bacteria or higher organisms, what if you make something that reproduces way too much, like for example a vine that compromises hundreds of thousands of square miles of vegetation? Or a bacteria that gets everywhere and makes people sick, or severely irritates the skin of their pets, etc. I think in general that the big problem with gene hacking is that genomes are ridiculously complex things where each part affects each other part holistically and we can only understand very limited parts of it, and playing with life is playing with fire. Basically, we never know what we're doing, we're not smart enough (or at least advanced enough yet) to safely edit genes. So making this technology available to every Joe Blow might not be a good thing.

Is carrying a gun a good way to stay safe? Why or why not?

ColorStorm:
What Zou said. Also the basic philosophical problem with the whole concept of guns. They're tools designed with no other purpose than to kill fellow human beings. Owning such a tool, let lone carrying one around, "just in case" you might need it takes a really fear-based and me-against-the-world mentality, or at least a high degree of toxic machismo. It's kind of like going to your family thanksgiving dinner with mace just in case your sister's kid jumps on you and tries to strangle you. Or maybe in case he tries to steal the stuffing off your plate. Also carrying a gun is a great way to let an otherwise small skirmish--say, in a bar while drunk, or experiencing road rage while driving--escalate into something deadly. If it were up to me owning guns would be illegal, even for police officers, like in the UK.

But why didn't he fight last election to become President. At one point he just gave up. Was it because of Hillary? Do you want a President like that?

Do you believe in any way that water has consciousness?

ColorStorm:
I believe it at least has consciousness in the way that atoms are themselves aware (but not aware that they are aware). It may have consciousness in other ways, too. According to Masaru Emoto's book Messages from Water, the general shapes of ice crystals depends on what thoughts, voices, music, etc. water was exposed to and what place it comes from (assuming his data wasn't cherry-picked, he didn't really disclose all the details of his experiments rigorously) That doesn't necessarily make water conscious, but it makes you think. Also I've heard that water somehow "leaks" information from the multiverse. If that's true, that could be related to it being conscious, or more conscious than other things in some way, especially if you consider that the universe and multiverse are themselves conscious. The multiverse could perhaps be a broader consciousness than the universe? I dunno, just being too analytical about that. I also heard something else recently about water and I think maybe emotions, but .. I don't remember what it was.

Wasserpistole:
I believe that everyhing has consciousness, even a small dot you draw on a piece of paper.

Why is god allowing us to do evil?

ColorStorm:
I think being able to affect each other in negative ways is part of the process of life and growth. Also, according to one of Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God books, evil must exist, at least to some degree, somewhere in the universe for any spirit to be able to appreciate good. One time I was in the backseat of a car going through a drive-through and I had this insight, it won't sound like an original idea but it was something I seemed to access from the ultimate level of mind: in order for joy/happiness/etc. to exist then the possibility of suffering must exist. It's all a part of the same reality. According to Neale Donald Walsch's books, evil is a human judgement, we pick what we see as evil (yet not to see anything as evil would be the greatest evil of all). Also according to his books the soul cannot be damaged and life is eternal and nothing matters and everything that happens to you is a gift, etc., so I guess there's not much for God to worry about re the effects of evil.

Wasserpistole:
I believe you guys and that is why god was so mercyful to give us the opportunity of nirvana. The end of good and evil.

Are you familiar with Plato's Allegory of the Cave? What's your opinion on it? Agree? Disagree?

ColorStorm:
I think it's a very good point, but it's still in question just how indirect or distorted our perception of reality is in the normal case. Life may be a lot like the cave analogy, or life may be a little like it. I think if you look out our physical senses (both the organs and the associated cortices) you'll see that the modes in which we receive and perceive data are highly arbitrary; they're deeply dependent on our biological form as evolved in particular directions for billions of years... just study color, for example, and you realize that our experience of objects is far from complete or 'accurate'--to say nothing of the fact that we're observing them as 2-d surfaces when they really exist as 3-d volumes.

Do you see any possibility that voodoo, yes voodoo, could be a thing, could work in one way or the other?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I do. Or at least, a better approach is, "why *wouldn't* it work?" People dismiss the possibility because it doesn't fit in with their physicalist model of the universe, but they forgot that a) it's just a model, and the fact that it's so effective in controlling and predicting reality doesn't preclude there being other, more interesting principles at work in fundamentally different ways (we can't even disprove that all of reality is actually mind); b) the model itself is as mysterious as Voodoo, when you get down to the bottom of it and realize that we don't know what mass-energy is, why it exists, why the principles of physical theory are what they are, etc., and if we did know why they are what they are, we wouldn't know why *those* things are they way they are, etc.; and c) the idea of there being 'no way' that voodoo could work usually boils down to its being counterintuitive ('everything/everybody is separate and interacts only through known and measurable means'), when that same kind of intuitionistic thinking would have us deny any possibility of gravity or magnets if we didn't see them before our very eyes. Feynman has an excellent analysis of this at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMFPe-DwULM

When I was 12 yrs old. I had a mad crush on Winona Ryder, I saw her in beetle Juice as a kid. And she was the 1st hot crush(Not the last) I had. Any famous ppl u were smitten with growing up? 🙂

ColorStorm:
I think the first celebrity crush I had was Sarah Silverman in School of Rock. Another one I had was Mila Kunis, but I was about 15 or 16 when I started seeing her on That 70s Show. I liked her a lot when she was 16, and I still like her now.

Wasserpistole:
What is your opinion on "revenge"?

ColorStorm:
It's not a .. what's the word .. godly/positive/advanced emotion/approach to a situation. It's essentially a variety of schadenfreude! I think it's also kind of myopic as it lacks true insight into the nature of the person you're exacting revenge on, and also into the lack of separation between yourself and them. Also it can cause endless/long cycles of revenge and negative karma. Revenge is based on hatred. Given that fact, https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2017/02/05/is-hatred-ever-truly-justified/

Good evening! Are there any lost places where you live? Or do you find lost places in general exciting?

ColorStorm:
I think they're neat, I follow an abandoned places account on Twitter. I don't know of any lost places around here, there's one place I like that seems like a lost place but it's not really, it's just magical, it's a bridge a few blocks away that's hard to find (since I never remember where it is), I think it's only on a bike path but you can see it from a car, it's just completely unique compared to everything else around here and it's like something straight out of anime, like a Hayao Miyazaki film.

BidenLadysMan:
In the Marvel movie. The villain Thanos believed that eliminating half the universe's population will help in the long run BC there isn't enough resources for everyone. Is this a viable solution for our world? As horrible as that would be...

ColorStorm:
I think with half the population we'd still probably kill the planet. And even if we didn't do it with half the population, it would still grow exponentially and eventually it would reach current levels again and higher. BTW, I think there probably are enough resources for everyone, we just distribute them too lopsidedly and selfishly.

BidenLadysMan:
Yea that what thinking. Basically the haves will always take from the have nots. They'll always be ppl who plunder and hog resources 😪

Or maybe floods & fires & black people are just due to cause and effect, and we need to take control of cause and effect where we can, especially when we're the cause. If mother nature loses then we lose.

Do you like Bill Gates?

ColorStorm:
I don't dislike him. I guess. I don't know much about him. I think he's big into philanthropic projects, which is good, but then he's still one of the richest people in the world which means he's a money hoarder. Also I read a lot about Microsoft's unscrupulous, anti-competitive practices when Bill Gates was head of it.

One really big room--but only big in case I want to throw a paper airplane in it. Walls made of 12" steel. One story. Kitchen, toilet, shower, bed, etc. are all in the same room. A place with dirt and plants inside. Maybe sprinklers. Out in the forest, but with a Walmart, Walgreens, Publix, theater, Starbucks, Taco Bell, Crepe Maker, etc. within walking distance. =P

ColorStorm:
Oh and a ceiling with hundreds of LED lights by different manufacturers of different colors, which are carefully calculated to all add up to white.

What do you do when someone else is also competing for your crush’s attention? Do you pull out all the stops, or do you drop out of the race?

ColorStorm:
I haven't been in that situation. If my crush and I were on a talking basis then I think I'd try to be as entertaining & desirable as I could. Surely I deserve her as much as or more than the other guy, and whom she ends up with depends on who puts the best foot forward. I don't see it as jumping through hoops or have something against in on principle (like "if she really loved me / if we were meant to be then I wouldn't have to fight for her"), it's just practical reality. And she can find out she loves me (or not) *after* I win her over. If the other guy were local to her and I weren't then I might not try.

Try to remember! Have you ever read anything inside a dream?

ColorStorm:
Yes, all the time. Many, many times. I think some people don't read in their dreams, it would be interesting to see how others answered this. When I read things in dreams, the words often change. So if I have to go back and re-read it, no luck.. it'll be something different the second time. One time I decided to watch a word change over and over again as I was staring at it, and then I suddenly felt something like an explosion in my head and woke up.

You'd be rich, money, money AND money but no friends and no way you'll have even okay friends in the future OR the best friends in the world but nobody really has money, incl. you?

ColorStorm:
Tough choice, but I think i'd pick the money. Then it would be easy to find companionship in the form of a girlfriend, I'd still have my family, I'd still have my acquaintances on Kiwi/Retrospring, and I'd be able to gain a purpose in life in philanthropy, heading projects funded by my own money. That would really lift me out of this rut i'm in now. And I only have three friends currently.. one always makes me feel inadequate, the other is batshit insane and often shockingly negative, and the other hardly ever talks to me.

Do you know enough about evolution to have a discussion about it and do you believe that it is the (only) truth?

Maybe a brief discussion. And I think evolution is basically true but it's not the -complete- story. I think evolution is largely consciousness-driven.

Does self confidence (in others) scare?

ColorStorm:
No, not usually. Maybe once in a long while I feel threatened because I'm not the most powerful person in the room and I'm not sure how to deal with that scenario.

---

[2019-03-20]

Wasserpistole:
Here is the deal for a just world: If you do something good and receive a bad reaction, it is not because of the good thing you did. It was something in the past, that wasn't so good. Can you agree and live with that? Or is the world unjust in your book?

ColorStorm:
No, I think it's convenient to think that way because it's easier to blame yourself than to deal with the frustration of injustice. I think the world is unjust and life isn't even approaching "fair."

Wasserpistole:
Without my believe in karma I would think the same way. In fact, I would be even more extreme.

How do you feel about griefing in online games?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what that means.

Like trolling, but more broad I guess and specifically for games. For example people kiting a world boss into a city in order to kill all the NPCs and players.

Emtiendoo:

ColorStorm:
oh, then it's kinda funny i guess, i like anything that exploits weak spots in a system. sucks for the players that get killed i guess, but i don't care too

ColorStorm:
much because I'm not into gaming. and i guess that kind of risk just comes with the territory?

ColorStorm:
though if the game-makers closed all the possibilities for griefing that could be a good thing.

What's your favorite candy? I'm obsessed with Japanese kitkats

ColorStorm:
I really like Butter Rum Lifesavers, but I don't buy them anymore because they go bad (well, their flavor and consistency changes) before I eat most of them. If chocolate counts, my favorite is Ghirardelli 72% Cacao. Tastes pretty much like the Hershey's 72% Cacao did before they stopped making it, which was my favorite before. I also like these "Aniseed Balls" I have (they're hard candy that tastes like licorice), I eat one every few months when I happen to see them on my dresser. I got the pack of them from a British food store in Melbourne, Fl a few years ago. \*Eats one now\*. Dove dark chocolate is also good. And sometimes the Dove dark chocolate filled with peanut butter.

Wasserpistole:
What is your opinion about an one-world-government?

ColorStorm:
YES. It would be the end of all war, the end of extreme economic disparity between countries, the end of some countries taking advantage of other countries, etc. People say they're afraid of that much power being concentrated into one agency, but I say that it's pretty close to being that way already, with there being only about 150 countries.. the difference is that the positive leaderships and the negative leaderships of those 150 countries average out now, with a One World Government we'd get lucky or unlucky as one unit instead.. but statistically the advantage is the same, i.e. if you could have 1000 instances of a one world government they'd average out to the same amount of benefit we have now with 150 governments.

Hard to say. I know that humanity badly wants to put people on Mars, and I think there are plans for it already, and I suppose we can afford to do it if we really want to, but on the other hand it's such an extraordinarily hard thing to pull off I wouldn't be surprised if all the astronauts died before they got there.

No one's better than me and if they thought they were then they wouldn't truly know me and their ignorance of my light would keep me down. I guess though that it all depends on their nature and how exactly they regard superiority/inferiority and how they express it.

Wieselmann:
What do you think about trigger warnings?

ColorStorm:
I think it's a symptom of the new pop culture (millennial?) trend of feeling like you should be protected from having to feel anything uncomfortable. It's the same phenomenon that threatens to undo our freedom of speech when all the voters are millennials and post-millennials. I mean maybe there are some people who legitimately need trigger warnings, but I think those people would be exceedingly rare and I think the timing of the uprising of trigger warnings is no coincidence. TBH though I don't even remember seeing a single trigger warning out in the wild. All I ever see is the controversy surrounding this alleged phenomenon.

Wieselmann:
if you get into certain twitter bubbles, you can see a lot of trigger warnings

Alizeh:
In relationships, is possessiveness good or bad?

ColorStorm:
Bad. Like most other people here are saying, we don't *own* our s/o's. I'd go further than most here and say that monogamy (serial or otherwise) is a form of possessiveness. _ says, "If you don't really care what the other person does, are you really in a relationship?", but I'd say that caring what the other person does and trying to control what they do are two different things. Also, whether you're "really in a relationship" depends on how you define a relationship, and I think relationships are badly in need of a redefinition.

nachopee:
More and more universities in the US are dropping the standardized testing (ACT / SAT) requirement for undergraduate admissions. What is your onion on this? Is it good? Is it bad? What's the tea?

ColorStorm:
IMO they're basically intelligence tests. They're even admissible by some high-IQ societies, and they're really strict about what they accept. So dropping them is good for people who don't have high intelligence, but bad for employers who expect people with degrees to be relatively smart. It could be bad for universities too if the students who wouldn't have been accepted with the SAT screening don't end up getting degrees. I don't know much about universities, I'm assuming by "ACT/SAT requirement" you mean that they don't admit people who score below a certain amount, or at least that they take your score into consideration when deciding whether to admit you.. if that's not the case then my answer won't make any sense. It may be wrong anyway because I don't know much.

nachopee:
Yep, by act/sat requirement I mean you must submit your scores for those tests in order to complete your application for a particular university and it is part

What drug, now illegal, should be made legal in your country?

ColorStorm:
Marijuana, at least for medical purposes. In some states medical marijuana is legal, and in some recreational marijuana is legal, but I think it should be a federal thing. Also, not sure if it's still true, but I think I read that we're not allowed to manufacture things made out of hemp, even though hemp is ridiculously useful, because you can get high on it just like with marijuana. I think that should definitely change if it's true.

[From the TV series "The Good Place"] "... people improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don’t?” Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I don't know that people necessarily improve when they get external love and support, and I don't know that everyone who's evil had a lack of love and support. But The Good Place was aiming in the right direction. Everybody's innocent in God's eyes. And whatever a person is, there are reasons for it, and reasons for those reasons, etc. We're all one, ultimately, so the only thing that separates an evil person from a good person is circumstances.

For the same reasons I don't like seeing the same movie twice.. Actually, come to think of it, there is one scenario where a number of times I've avoided reading spoilers: reading about movies on Wikipedia.

When's the last time you had to contact customer service of a business/company, and for what reason?

ColorStorm:
If contacting by filling out a form on the web counts, I had to ask the makers of Windows10FirewallControl how to enter my product key that I'd just bought for $40. The problem was that when I got the key they also gave me a link to install the version I'd just paid for, and I installed it, but for some reason it didn't replace the free version I already had installed which doesn't have the capability of entering a product key. And I had assumed it did. Though I suspected it might not have.. their response confirmed my suspicion and I uninstalled the free version and then installed the upgraded version (again) and then the place to enter the key was there. But it had to detect all my applications that access the internet again. =P Long boring story I guess ;D

Wasserpistole:
What is the "New World Order" for you?

ColorStorm:
It sounds like the consolidation of many people's deepest fears about those in power. But I don't believe in it, if anything, to me it means simply a One World Government, which would be great.

Wasserpistole:
A OWG would be a catastrophe.

ColorStorm:
I don't think so. People are just afraid of it because they're afraid of what power can lead to, but it doesn't have to be evil. Think no more wars, no more

ColorStorm:
vast imbalances of wealth between nations where some nations have obese people while others have their people starving to death

ColorStorm:
In Conversations with God (book 2 I think), God observes that the best thing for us would be a One World Government, and I trust that source.

Wasserpistole:
The question is: Are our political leaders (and the people behind them) good persons, only wanting our best or not? If not, a OWG is a bad idea.

ColorStorm:
i guess it's a mixed bag.

ColorStorm:
everybody is ruled by politicians either way, though. i don't see why it makes a huge difference.

ColorStorm:
America has a wide range of foods so I don't really think of any one thing when someone says "American food". If there's anything I associate with that term then it's McDonald's, I guess because that's the worst of it and something I see as uniquely American. I mean I know they have McDonald's's in other countries but yeah, it originated in America. =P

At what age/point in your life did you have your first credit card? How did you make the decision to get one and how did you learn to use it responsibly?

I've only had one credit card, the rest were debit cards. I don't think I made the decision to get one, my dad just gave it to me. I only used it in "emergencies", like when I didn't have cash and my debit card didn't work for some reason or when I was out with my mom and she lost her debit card (she does that a lot). I don't remember how old I was. Also I don't remember if I had debit cards before that.

I'm not sure. By "first", do you mean which comes first in time, or which is the more major source of guidance in decision making? I'm not sure which I listen to first in time, but as to which one I pay more attention to overall it depends on the situation.

When I was about five the girl across the street (Amy) was about five and liked to do things like pee in a bucket together (actually she gave me a choice between the bucket and the grass, and I chose the grass even though she wanted the bucket) and show me the insides of her p*ssy. And she and her 12-year-old sister took me behind some bushes and stuck leaves in their p*ssies by the stems. They wanted me to do the same with my penis but I didn't.

No. I guess that sounds selfish. I just don't feel that the child's life is worth more than my life. And I don't feel that the non-suffering of its parents is worth my life either. It doesn't feel selfish to me to say no, saying yes just doesn't feel right.

If you believe in luck, bad luck and coincidence, like most people do, can you at the same time believe in true justice? I don't see how. What do you think?

ColorStorm:
Freewill is also incompatible with true/total justice.

Wasserpistole:
I don't get it.

ColorStorm:
I have the free will to hurt anyone at any time, and that free will feels just like my free will in any other context so it's the same free will. And if total

ColorStorm:
justice is true, then I can't hurt a person who doesn't "deserve" it so I wouldn't have free will in that context, and since it's the same as free will

ColorStorm:
in the general case I wouldn't have that either.

ColorStorm:
You could say that if I hurt someone who doesn't deserve it, then I'll get my just deserts, but that doesn't change the fact that justice wasn't served to

ColorStorm:
the person I hurt or possibly even killed.

ColorStorm:
Also, here's another interesting implication of "true"/total justice, if everything that happens to someone happens because they deserved it, then every

ColorStorm:
time someone harms someone they were simply fulfilling God's will / doing The Good, so they shouldn't be punished.. so there's no way for anyone to deserve

ColorStorm:
punishment.

Wasserpistole:
That is the excuse of evil people when they believe in true justice or karma "no matter who get's hurt or destroyed or killed" they deserve it. And yes, they

Wasserpistole:
caused it. The incredible mistake of these evil people is to think, they are not going to pay for their actions. That is beyond me. There is free will but if

Wasserpistole:
conditioned yourself to be evil and bad, doing evil things to others feels natural for you but you "worked" on that, to be in that zone. Your thoughts, your

Wasserpistole:
actions, your mind brought you to that point. There was nothing but free will and justice. But instead of being evil, we have to help those in need.

Could there be circumstances under which hitting a child is morally justified?

ColorStorm:
Can't think of one, but there are so many possibilities that the answer to "could there be circumstances under which.." is usually "yes". They could be very rare/unlikely circumstances though so I wouldn't want that "yes" to encourage people to hit children. One general circumstance I can think of is if you need to prevent them from doing something very dangerous and they refuse to listen to your wisdom explaining why they shouldn't do it, so pain is the only thing they understand, and there will be times when nobody will be there to prevent the child from doing it or people's reactions might not be fast enough.

Aldous Huxley but said: Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness./ What do you say?

ColorStorm:
I think that may be the case with physics and cosmology. We have quantum physics, but we don't know why the universe behaves according to quantum physics, and its workings are more mysterious than anything we've imagined. We have the big bang, but we don't know why there was a big bang or what came before it. We know how gravity behaves, but not why there's gravity. Science doesn't answer any of the really profound questions, all it is is data. In some other areas of science, like say biology, i'd say it increasingly explains more and more. Of course even then it's very limited in its depth, it can't explain anything about life qua life, only chemical processes. And of course no explanation of anything is complete. You can always ask more questions about why it is the way it is. Biology, for instance, is built atop chemistry which is built atop nuclear physics. Why is nuclear physics the way it is? Why does anything exist at all? etc. An explanation is only satisfying at the point where you're tired of asking questions.

Wasserpistole:
And I say, before the "big bang" there was a rest and before that another universe that also started with a "big bang" and again the same over and over again.

Yes, it's really nice (especially with butter too), although I rarely ever have toast with jam. Also, other flavors of jam can be great too, it's really hard to choose a best, you have to have them all at different times.

Walls and furniture stained and falling apart due to cat pee, tiles broken and inconsistent in color, carpets stained to hell, cracks in the walls or foundation or whatever due to shifting, one floor is just concrete, the roof was replaced in about 1992 due to Hurricane Andrew, some of the glass doors don't open, windows are permanently dirty, some in the kitchen broken due to the counter expanding due to water damage due to a botched roof repair, various problems due to us being too lazy to clean and hoarding, etc.

Wieselmann:
How do you feel about incest being illegal?

ColorStorm:
It should be legal for brothers & sisters (isn't it already?), it's a victimless crime and we shouldn't try to control who gets to have sex or how just because we're personally disgusted by it. Going by that logic gay sex would still be illegal. For parent and son/daughter sex it's a little more tricky. Sometimes it's just harmless, kinky fun and sometimes the power/authority balance plays into it too much--especially when the son/daughter is under age, but that's already covered by "statutory rape" laws. I think the age of consent should be younger, but maybe not for parent/child incest. It sucks to tell fully consenting people they can't have sex, but maybe it's necessary to protect those who aren't actually fully consenting. But given that the age of consent isn't going to change any time soon, do we really need separate laws to prevent parents and sons/daughters from having sex at ages 18 and over? I don't know, I'd have to hear more people's stories to know that. I also think the laws for "statutory rape" and incest should be different for girls vs boys, because sexuality means very differe t things for girls vs boys and the social dynamics of it are different, but I know that won't happen any time soon because society isn't ready to face that fact and everyone would have conniptions.

Why arnt you trying so save starving people although you have the possibility to do so?

ColorStorm:
It's easy to separate yourself from the pressing need to save them when you're not in their world. (I say we 'separate ourselves' but really we're born separated.) We all live in the bubbles of our own little worlds. We also tend to care more about our own problems than others', even when those others are in our world. It makes sense because we're ourselves so we're obviously more in touch with our own needs and pains, and our agency primarily exists for the purpose of tending to our own needs and desires. But it's true that not working to save those who are starving isn't very utilitarian of us. It's not ideal, there's room for more compassion.

The bad will be experienced anyway, it just happens.

We could feel compassion for the attacker for being in such a state in which he would feel the need to do that, for the love in his heart being buried by darkness, etc.

Wieselmann:
Should a very intelligent gorilla be seen as more valueable than a severely mentally challenged human? Why?/Why not?

ColorStorm:
Tough question. We could compare purely on the basis of intelligence, in which case it depends on whether the gorilla is more or less intelligent than the human. But that's probably a tough comparison because it's probably like apples and oranges to a large degree. Or we could go by size of the animal, since that seems to be a criteria people use for what animal lives they deem valuable (it's not illegal to kill a rat, for example), in which case the gorilla obviously wins, but then by that logic all gorillas, elephants, etc. would be more valuable than humans so we can't do that since it's not aligned with common sense. Maybe it could be a factor to take into consideration though. Quality of life would be another thing to take into consideration. If both beings' quality of life were equal, I'd say the human is more valuable, but that may be purely anthropocentric/biased thinking. The mentally challenged human may have a lower quality of life due to his/her condition, but I think it's actually often the case that mentally challenged people are happier. The gorilla may have a low quality of life because if we know he/she's very intelligent then we probably have him/her caged up for life. Another thing to consider is the amount of consciousness/presence each being has. Can one being have more consciousness than another? I think so. Can one being have more consciousness than another despite having equal or lower intelligence? Some might be inclined to say no.. I'm not sure. I think probably yes. But measuring that could only be done subjectively (short of a brain scan or something, assuming that would even be relevant), and the person doing the measuring would be biased due to being the same species as the mentally challenged human. But maybe we can accept a little bit of bias, because such bias underlies our entire moral system when it comes to dealing with other animals anyway. Maybe we'd be at a loss as to how to make many many decisions or even how to do basic things in life (like keep one's house bug- and rodent-free, protect ourselves from bears, etc.) if we weren't so biased. Btw, when I say "quality of life" I don't necessarily mean factors of one's environment (though some may come into consideration), the bottom line is how much happiness and joy the being has vs. how much suffering or misery and how often, etc. Stuff like that. Another thing that would have to be measured subjectively, but unless it's a close call (and I'm betting it probably wouldn't be), it shouldn't be too hard a thing to determine. Oh, I just thought of another important factor: the mentally challenged person probably has relatives and other loved ones. Gorillas probably feel the pain of loss of a loved one, but it's probably not as intense. And also we could compare which being has more loved ones. The gorilla would probably have fewer, especially if it's kept in captivity. Well, the humans who care for it might love him/her, but maybe not as much / in the same way as the mentally challenged human's loved ones love him/her. (Amount and quality of loved ones would also tie into the two beings' quality of life.) The very intelligent gorilla probably also has importance to science, but I'm not interested in that. We know that animals are intelligent, we know gorillas can be particularly intelligent, and we know that their intelligence would probably follow a bell curve so there'd be some now and then that are very intelligent. Instead of getting a hard-on for when animals are seemingly intelligent in a way comparable to ours, we should learn to appreciate and connect with nature as it is, at large. Going back over the things I mentioned as criteria.. I'd say intelligence levels aren't that important except for their implications regarding consciousness levels; consciousness levels are important; size isn't that important, at least not in this case; loved ones is important if there's a stark difference between the two; what I call "quality of life" may be the most important; and the scientific value isn't particularly important.

Not exactly but there's this girl on Twitter I really like and she talked to me initially (dm'd me first) but then she ghosted me and I actually asked her to talk to me more at one point. :) She said later in a tweet that she tends to ghost people so maybe it's nothing personal. Or maybe I just suck. I think it was after one conversation that she seemed to have lost interest. She does occasionally send me porn of her though and asks for some of me (she really loves sharing that kinda stuff) so obviously she doesn't exactly dislike me. :) I just felt so disappointed that she doesn't talk to me more and helpless because there's nothing I know how to do to make her like me more. =P

LaDamaX:
Perhaps she’s the kind of girl who simply likes the attention but not necessarily looking for a relationship , and when she’s got it she ghosts.

Hello! Hi! What is your opinion about online petitions? For example: https://www.change.org/p/cecil-roars-demand-jail-time-for-man-that-doused-kitten-in-gasoline-and-set-her-on-fire

ColorStorm:
Most online petitions I see are political, and I've read that most political petitions are useless because politicians only care about what their particular constituents have to say, so the best thing to do is to call them up. I do sign a lot of online petitions anyway, because it doesn't hurt, it's easy, and for all I know it might help. The only drawback is every time you sign one they sign you up to a new mailing list. Most online political petitions I see take you directly to a donation area after you sign, and some of them seem like the signing the petition isn't really intended to do anything but to get the person into the right mindset to donate money. I wouldn't sign a petition to put someone away for burning a cat alive, no matter how much I hate the act (and feel bad for the kitten), because I don't believe in retribution. I would sign, for example, a petition to free some animal who's slowly going insane because of his entrapment.

Have you ever experienced something during the time you were in school as a student that really touched you and I mean in a positive way?

ColorStorm:
on the last day of 10th grade the girl in my English class that I liked sat on my desk swinging her leg and told me that if I like someone I should go for it and tell them.. so she probably knew that I liked her and wanted me to ask her out (I guess?) I didn't do it, but I'm glad she thought I was worthy. also the guy who picked on me in that class wrote in my yearbook that it wasn't cool of him and he discovered that i'm actually pretty cool. not sure how much it was an influence on him that he was friends with my cousin whose mother's house i was living in at the time. also on the lest day of one of my high school years, i forget which, i think 12th grade, I saw this poem written on a bulletin board - Roses are red - Violets are blue - Tulips are yellow - And roses are yellow sometimes. I really liked it.

I just read that the divorce rate for heterosexual couples in the USA is DOUBLE that of same-sex couples. What do you think the reason(s) for this is/are?

ColorStorm:
Not sure, maybe heterosexual marriages have a different place in culture, since they're more popular, and have been more accepted longer, they're more lowest-common-denominator/pop-culture and fall prey to all the (toxic) preconceived ideas about what relationships are and what we should get out of them that are embedded in culture, whereas same-sex marriages are more 'treading new territory' so they're more of a fresh start and take on couples' dynamics. Shrug.

ColorStorm:
Also the opposite energies involved in a male-female relationship make for more potent/highly-charged interpersonal dynamics, which could aggravate/exacerbate

..whatever problems already exist with the way our culture approaches relationships.

Wasserpistole:
A quote from the Bhagavad Gita "As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from childhood to youth to old age, the soul similary passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change." What do you say?

ColorStorm:
I think it has nothing to do with being sober, it's just that by all appearances death is the end of life. Even if you have a belief in life after death (which many people don't, not because they're not sober but because we don't live in a culture with a strong belief in life after death), it's hard to really believe it deeply or viscerally enough to take away the pain of another's death or the fear of one's own, because it's so otherworldly.. (Though i'm guessing whoever Bhagavad Gita is or was he didn't say that in English so 'sober' may have been a loose translation) Also, he makes it sound as though you pass into another human body as soon as you die, and I think that's wrong - I think we spend some time in the afterlife in between lives, to heal, enjoy ourselves, plan our next life, etc., possibly with some exceptions. The afterlife is more real than this life and is our true home.

Why should you even bother improving yourself?

ColorStorm:
If your heart's not in it, don't. We don't need to improve ourselves. That's not the point of life. Or if it is part of the point of life, we can improve ourselves without trying. We can't help but improve ourselves. We learn new things or lessons all the time just by being alive, we build better ideas on our previous ideas by continuing to think, etc. Anyway, I think society puts too much emphasis on self-improvement, similarly to have it puts too much emphasis on 'success'. Just enjoy life.

Wars of the future will be fought by machines. if it ever gets to a point where we no longer lose at least soldier's lives to war, will war be more acceptable?

ColorStorm:
The machines must have an objective, do you think they'll just program them to seek out enemy machines and destroy them? That'll never happen. It's like saying war will one day be a chess game between world leaders. AS long as there's war, I think at least some of the machines will be programmed to kill people, maybe some will just be programmed to stop those machines, and maybe some will be programmed to stop the machines that stop those machines, etc., but ultimately the goal will be to kill people, so they'd be lucky if it turned out that it's only machines fighting machines. You gotta get the enemy where it hurts, or they won't care.. why even have a dog in the fight if nothing important is being threatened?

ColorStorm:
i guess the machines could be programmed to destroy the other country's existing technology, but that will result in deaths too, just indirectly

I disagree, though I like how he saw philosophy as a language game because that's how I largely feel about analytic philosophy (not continental). Anyway, his sentence is wrong because we don't think or perceive in language (even if language does *affect* the way we think, as per Sapir-Whorf. Obviously we don't perceive in language, or we'd be able to describe redness to a blind person. And we don't think in language, or we wouldn't have those times when we know what we mean but we can't think of the right word..

Do you think new timelines would be created if time travel into the past was possible or do you think time travel would lead to bootstrap paradoxons?

ColorStorm:
I don't think you could create a branching timeline just by doing something (like traveling to the past), but I think the alternate timelines may already exist and if time travel into the past is possible then it'll be by going to one of those alternate timelines. As for the bootstrap paradox, I think it only becomes relevant in specific situations (like you travel to the past you *in the same timeline* and tell yourself how to make a time machine..), not in any possible situation in which you travel to the past. But, I don't think that traveling to the past *on the same timeline* is possible at all. I have a blog post explaining why. https://myriachromat.wpcomstaging.com/2020/06/30/on-time-travel/ There are some ifs, ands, and buts in that post--in other words some possible considerations (even if they're outlandish or unlikely, at least according to a certain point of view) under which time travel to the past in the same timeline may be possible, and in those cases maybe time travel involving the bootstrap paradox may be possible too: (1) maybe the book you send past you on how you built the time machine arose in some organic way much like the chicken-egg paradox arose evolutionarily, but the domain under which it was created isn't limited to the timeline in question. Maybe there's a kind of meta-time in which the self-creating scenario in question (like the time machine book) could evolve in a progressively self-refining causal loop, or (2) maybe the entire self-creating construct could have been sourced in the pure creativity of the universe--the same creativity that inspires things like great works of art, or maybe even biological forms (if you accept teleology). This would imply a worldview that's more like idealism ( https://myriachromat.wpcomstaging.com/2020/02/07/why-im-an-idealist/ ) than like 100% blind mechanistic cause and effect.

I can't help but see being into anime as a kind of fetish.

Like they watch a lot of it, talk a lot about it, form their identities around it, etc. A take, for example, all the new words they made up just to label certain emotional constructs in anime like "tsundere."

ColorStorm:
I don't think it's legal to walk across or stand in the middle of the road to begin with (anywhere except a crosswalk while the light is red).. but besides that, no, I don't think there should be special laws against it, because I think a little bit of economy/commerce/workforce/car-pollution-jamming is a good thing. The protests behind those road blockages are probably more important than the ability of the drivers to get where they want to go, and making it illegal is just authoritarianistically preserving the status quo.

Why do people still think the government is honest and cares about them?

ColorStorm:
The government is made of people, and people, by and large, want to do the right thing and improve society. But yes, there's a lot of corruption. With power comes the ability to make money from special interests. But we'd be much worse off without the government. We'd have no protection from crime, no infrastructure, no mass cooperation through contracts, employment, governmental organization, etc. There'd be no civilization. So the government deserves some level of trust and support from its citizens. And where it fails, it's our duty to try to correct it. A much worse thing to be wary of and that people seem to have delusional faith in is corporations.

It seems poverty has been an issue in all human civilizations for thousands of years, but I guess if we establish (1) a One World Government, and (2) a Universal Basic Income, then we could virtually eliminate poverty, or at least extreme poverty, and those two things don't sound too impossible to me.

Recently this racist Karen attacked a group of landscapers for "speaking Spanish".. She lost her job over it after a change.org petition got over 50,000 signatures. Is this a good or bad thing in your opinion? https://i.imgur.com/nnr2LCt.jpg

ColorStorm:
Our place of work should have almost nothing to do with our personal lives. Also, fuck people who come into the US and don't learn to speak English (though i don't know if the landscapers in question know English or not). But I don't think it's right to fire people for things they do in their free time, on their social media, etc., even when I don't agree with their opinions/behavior. Work life is infringing too much on personal life, and it's a form of thought control because most of us have no choice but to work.

They did, they spoke English to her and even pointed out the US had no official language after she kept barking "speak English this is America". She also made

Related to my last post do think Hollywood male actors are more reluctant to do gay scenes and that's why we don't see more hot guy on guy action in mainstream Hollywood?😉😜

ColorStorm:
That could be a factor, but also I think the viewer demand for guy-on-guy action is probably lower. I think in general girls are less interested in seeing guy-on-guy action than guys are in seeing girl-on-girl (and are probably less interest in seeing naked bodies and sex in movies in general than guys are too).

Yes. Though I don't think not wanting to kiss a guy or suck a dick makes you homophobic. But I think men are less likely to want to kiss or have oral sex with another person of the same sex if they're not gay, and I'd guess they're more likely to be homophobic too.

What do you think of this article? Does laziness exist? https://humanparts.medium.com/laziness-does-not-exist-3af27e312d01 TL;DR: What we think of as laziness does not exist, but rather, it is a symptom of some other unmet need.

ColorStorm:
I didn't read the article because I already know that laziness doesn't exist. People are "lazy" when they're not passionate about what other people expect them to do, or when they're miserable so any amount of work seems torturous. Not having essential needs met is one reason a person might be miserable.

I think it's perfectly possible that the planets and other celestial bodies have emotional or karmic influences on us depending on where they are and how they're moving in relation to us, but horoscope writers make astrology look bad by distilling those energies through the lens of typical everyday life into overly specific predictions, things that won't actually happen to most people. I guess it depends on the kind of horoscope, though.

It doesn't help that I sleep all the time so I get hungry very seldom. - never exercise: I went most of my life never exercising, nowadays I try to do about a minute of jumping jacks every day--until i get dizzy or my legs get too tired. In practice though I probably do it once every few days.

Would you rather have 50 million dollars or have 100% complete knowledge about physics?

I'm not sure it's possible to have 100% complete knowledge about physics. The laws of physics we know are ultimately observed patterns; we don't know where they come from, why they exist, whether they can change over time, whether there could be endless metaphysical layers behind various exceptions, exceptions to exceptions, etc. The "laws" of physics could be inseparable from and hence just as complex as the information of the universe itself, or it could be a continually unfolding story created by consciousness itself, etc. Even if I could have complete knowledge of physics (or an extreme amount of knowledge of it, or an extreme amount of knowledge of it at the current time; "Truth is a moving target"), I wouldn't be able to do anything with it. I couldn't share it with the world because people are too dumb and corrupt and they'd just use it for bigger weapons and more quickly converting the natural environment into material resources and destroying it.

You put all that effort into the game and bank your dopamine levels on whether you'll be able to get get to the next level or whatever, and then you find that it's hard or impossible to get to the next level without paying, and you probably don't know how much you'll have to/want to pay before you start.

Do you think fish have a consciousness and experience the world or are they just biological robots who react to stimuli?

ColorStorm:
It's sad that some people actually ask questions like this. *Obviously* they're not robots or just "complex mechanisms." *Obviously* they're conscious and can feel pain, etc. (if they can feel pain they can probably feel other things too). The fact that some people actually wonder if they're conscious or think they're not just shows how far modern culture has been disconnected from nature. The fact that some people wonder if they're just complex mechanisms/robots or think that they are just shows how deeply mired in this ridiculous paradigm of universal mechanicism we've become.

Wieselmann:
It's not obvious. You dont have to assume qualia to explain their behaviour. Every action of them can be traced back to a long chain of physiological events

Wieselmann:
inside their body in principle. You dont solve this philosophical problem by saying that its *obvious* that they are conscious

ColorStorm:
You could say the same about humans, but in both cases it's mechanistic assumption that the behavior is *fully* accounted for by physiological mechanics.

ColorStorm:
When I say it's obvious, I'm speaking as a human being with a heart. It doesn't take too much thinking. If it's not obvious, you're thinking too much.

ColorStorm:
Anyone who's not lost in conceptualizations can see that fish are alive with consciousness as all other living beings are

Wieselmann:
I just wonder where the light of consciousness suddenly gets switched on in evolution

Wieselmann:
A bacteria doesn't seem conscious to me. Ecspecially because their behaviour can be explained physically even in praxis as far as i know

Wieselmann:
And it just seems logical that more complex animals dont just work with magic suddenly

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I wonder that too about bacteria. Are they conscious? It's hard to tell. They're unlike us enough that we don't relate and don't know what signs to look

for. It does seem a little odd (to me) that there would be something that's alive but not conscious.

ColorStorm:
I don't think the light is *suddenly* switched on. I think it's a gradient/continuum.

ColorStorm:
I know this will sound ridiculous from your POV, but I'm somewhat of a panpsychist, at least an idealist, so I think biologically living things just express

ColorStorm:
life/consciousness/awareness in a more ordered or macro or something way so that we're able to recognize it.

ColorStorm:
Hana would you say that the consciousness of people more directly/accurately reflects the consciousness of spirit?

ColorStorm:
Hana, what would you say is unique about humans' consciousness (re: 'it's not a consciousness like people's')?

ColorStorm:
when you said otherwise the earth would have already taken a shower to cleans itself of people, it seemed to imply our unique mode of consciousness is a

ColorStorm:
positive thing.

What was the last really good movie that you have seen?

Not 'Unbreakable'. I didn't want to see it because it looked boring in the trailers. Then someone told me it was a really good movie and I should see it anyway. So I saw it. It was boring. =P

idk the one with bruce willis and samuel l. jackson

What's heavier, a kilogramme of feathers or a kilogramme of steel?

ColorStorm:
They're the same. Here's a better question: what's heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of gold? It's a trick question because a tonne of gold is measured in metric tons which are 2,204.62 pounds, while normal tons are 2,000 pounds.

Wieselmann:
Do you think it was useless to learn all that stuff in school that you never use in your life?

ColorStorm:
Absolutely. I mean, not *all* of it.. reading is pretty dang useful, and I probably read faster given that I learned it early on instead of later when I would have realized I needed to learn it and then put in the effort myself. On the other hand, I've heard (this wasn't a scientific study AFAIK) that people who learn to read earlier tend to be more depressed, or maybe just more left-brained, I don't remember exactly. Arithmetic and algebra were useful too, but algebra has only come in useful for certain hobby projects, and I strongly don't agree with it being a mandatory subject. And learning how to write was obviously useful, which should probably be lumped in with learning how to read. I can't think of anything else that was useful.. I guess knowing the structure of the government was important, but even that wasn't *useful* per se--it probably never affected who I voted for or didn't vote for. A lot of the crap you learn in school is just memorization, to be leaned the night before the test and promptly forgotten afterward. And a lot of it was skills, but those skills only serve to make you a better cog, not a better person. Well, learning to tell time was another useful thing. I think school is child abuse, by and large, and needs *major* reform. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xe6nLVXEC0 I'm hesitant to say that any subject in school whatsoever should be mandatory, but even if some subjects should be, it needs to be fewer or at least very different subjects. Also children should start school later in the day and should have more freedom in what courses they take (though I can't imagine that working out in any way other than asking their parents what courses they'll take, for young children, but that's better than no choice.) Oh yeah, I remember having to read books and answer questions about them or write summaries, etc. That (and possible other things) may have been more aimed more toward making me a "better" (more cultured) person, though it didn't really have that effect on me.

Do you think psychosis situations depends on the person, like if they have a good nature or bad one, in which it can be like good or bad experience ?

ColorStorm:
I'd say it's almost a given that a psychosis experience would depend on the person, but I don't think it's as simple as a good person has a good experience and a bad person has a bad experience, anymore than a good person is good-looking and a bad person is ugly.. I think one factor contributing to a bad psychosis experience might be fear. Another might be stored trauma.

I'm not sure but I think I've always had a high stress level and I just don't notice it because I've never lived any other way. Nothing particular to stress me out, I guess other than not having basic needs met, and my dad occasionally yelling at me, and constantly contemplating my impending doom.

Emma Watson's nudes leaked last yr and I found it interesting. See she's very much a feminist. A feminist's core belief is they're not a sex object. But presumably she made this vid for her bow, she sexualized herself for him is she a hypocrite? 🙂

ColorStorm:
1. No, if it was for someone who loves her then it's not objectifying. Also, some feminists are pro-sex work and some find it empowering for women to flaunt and use their sexuality, so I'm not sure it's categorically true that feminists are against being sex objects. 2. Where can I find these nudes?? :D

Do you think educated people are more intelligent than the uneducated ones?

ColorStorm:
Not sure. Not necessarily--there's always educated idiots--but I guess there's probably correlation between being educated and being intelligent, because 1. more intelligent people probably seek higher education, and 2. unintelligent people probably couldn't hack it in college (or at least that used to be true, I think nowadays anybody can graduate college), and if they did they probably still wouldn't appear to be particularly educated because of their inability to remember, to truly understand, and to relate to others and to the context the information they've learned..

Musk has said that in the next 10yrs we will be able to terraform Mars. That means make it more earth like, but then why not just fix the earth? 🤔

ColorStorm:
Yeah, it just shows how sillily people think.. they write off the earth as a long cause, so put their hopes in terraforming another planet.. not realizing that no matter how bad Earth gets, it'll always be much more inhabitable and closer to being 'terraformed'/rehabilitated/fixed than a barren planet with no dirt or organic matter, a thin and unsuitable atmosphere, etc.

Do you think having an education makes you a better person?

ColorStorm:
No. Being a better person is all about what you do with what you have. You could be an educated person and exploit millions. Of course, nobody's truly better than anybody else.. there's only one basic consciousness, we're all playing roles based on the situations we were born into.

Wieselmann:
What is logic?

ColorStorm:
It's the ordering principles behind semantic thought. Some people think logic is an absolute, overarching property of reality, but I don't think so. You can't present any imaginary physical scenario in which logic itself is discovered to be violated. For example, take a square circle, or x!=x. What would that look like in reality, and if it were the case how would you possibly detect it? You couldn't. This shows that logic is not an observed or inferred property of reality but is tautological and represents only coherent thinking.

I don't go to clubs, they're too loud. I already have (intermittent) tinnitus from going to one over 20 years ago.

people can't become a completely different personality (or if they can, the personality they become is still related to their old one or their core in some way), but they can change in the meaningful ways that they should change in.. if they really want to, or if they're graced, or maybe just some people can..

the latter. my mom does it *all the time*. and then cats start coming in that aren't supposed to be in my room. I don't mind if anyone comes in without knocking.. if I was in need if privacy my door would be locked. And I like the company / the fact that they bother to come see me. =p

LaDamaX:
You don’t like the cats?

i like them, but only three of them are allowed in (and really that's too many), just because I don't want them peeing and pooping where they shouldn't.

our house smells like a sewer because of the cats and i don't want my room to smell that way too (or for my clothes, etc. to be ruined)

which belief? all of them? i think i wouldn't, because people die all the time anyway, and then i'd be totally lost, and all that effort i put into forming correct beliefs would be lost, and defending my beliefs is important for the world (or at least I have the delusion that it is).. one of the major reasons I don't want to reincarnate is actually because then i'd start all over regarding beliefs, and who knows what retarded sh\*t I'd end up with.

I'm not afraid of being dead (or, preferably, in the afterlife), but I know that the process of dying itself will be terrifying and probably painful, possibly extremely painful. The main reason I don't want to die (just yet), though, is the effect I know it would have on my mom.

One thing that's cooler about the present than I ever anticipated is the power of CPUs, RAM, storage mediums, etc. I'm pretty sure your average cell phone is thousands of times more powerful than the most powerful computers when I was a kid. And the internet nobody ever would have foreseen either. The sum total of human knowledge at your fingertips!

The same reason people post non-questions anywhere else, like on Facebook or Reddit for example. They have something they want to say.

ColorStorm:
I come up with brilliant ideas/modi operandi for success all the time..they're usually more mental practices or mentalities than personality changes, but maybe sometimes they verge on being that. Also when I was a young adult or maybe a teenager I thought I needed to understand how normal people think to be successful in life.. cuz they thought really differently from me. So I'd watch them and listen to them and put myself in their heads.. I don't think it was my intention to change my personality, just to understand them, but it had the affect of fundamentally changing the way I think. Now people don't seem so weird anymore.

Why do you think people are so quick to judge/condemn strangers online, but much slower when it comes to forgiving the same?

ColorStorm:
Forgiveness takes a kind of sacrifice or humility or something along those lines, people are like cockroaches and take the path of least resistance, they won't do anything inconvenient for anybody that they don't have an incentive to, such as online people that they have no substantial connection to or investment in.

arman:
What would the world be like if humans didn't need sleep?

ColorStorm:
Humans would be very different. We need sleep because of our nature vis a vis the nature of the world. So it depends on how our nature would be different such that we didn't need sleep. It would have to be something very radical, considering all animals sleep. And we'd probably not not nearly as interesting because we'd be less alive/conscious. Fully living beings need regular breaks from the harshness of physical life. Since we'd be less alive (if it would be possible at all--that's the only way I can imagine it), we probably wouldn't have been smart enough to dominate and decimate the natural world, so the world would be very different, more like it was a hundred thousand years ago.

Interesting take. I didn't think that far. It's possible that the whole civilization might not exist ...

Do you think Jesus really existed?

ColorStorm:
I think there was probably an actual person whom the stories are based on, or possibly multiple people and myths (like it says in the Zeitgeist documentary). My friend who's a Bible expert says he thinks there's a lot of quotes by 'Jesus' in the Bible that he never really said, and I believe him. I honestly don't know whether the real Jesus performed any miraculous healings, magic, etc., though I'd like to think so. I certainly don't believe that Jesus wanted us to think that if we don't accept him into our hearts we'll go to hell for eternity. I don't think he died for our sins either, that was Paul's invention. My Bible-expert friend thinks Paul was probably a closeted homosexual who was trying desperately to grapple with the fact that homosexuality was considered a sin..

ZouBisouBisou:
Who's your favorite philosopher? Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Adam Smith for me.

ColorStorm:
I'm very philosophical, but I don't read philosophy (much) because I don't believe others can think about a given subject better than I can. And when I disagree with them it's frustrating because i have no way to argue back at them or to the public. But from what I'm familiar with, I like Noam Chomsky (Zizek is kinda cool too) and, though he's technically considered more of a psychologist than a philosopher, I'm gonna say Carl Jung.

ColorStorm:
Hume was cool too.

ZouBisouBisou:
I'm probably in the minority here but I don't really care for Chomsky. He's just Ayn Rand without the asshole qualities.

ColorStorm:
How so?

ColorStorm:
or you mean just that he's a pop culture figure?

ZouBisouBisou:
Because he thinks anarchism is refreshingly new and edgy.

ColorStorm:
Oh, didn't know he's into anarchism. I'm not. I guess I don't dislike anarchists, it just seems like they're naive..

ColorStorm:
no offense if you're an anarchist

ZouBisouBisou:
Yes he's a left leaning anarchist. Most anarchist these days seem to be right leaning "ancaps" so people are confused by what side of the spectrum he fallsunder

ZouBisouBisou:
I agree with you, anarchism or "libertarianism" is extremely naive and unworkable.

ColorStorm:
I despise libertarianists, I think they're totally blind to the obvious evil it would enable and the dystopia it would create. Maybe I'm wrong but I see

ColorStorm:
libertarianism and anarchism as two different things, or maybe libertarianism is a subset of anarchism. When I think of anarchism I don't think of corporations

Would you lie in court for someone that you love?

ColorStorm:
Maybe..the thought of someone I love having to go to prison (especially if it's a really long time), or at *least* the thought of having to be without them, could be enough to make me take the risk.. it also depends on how likely they are to lose anyway. I disagree with Pandy's opinion that "justice can't be selfish." What's done in a courtroom isn't necessarily justice. It's often retribution, and revenge has nothing to do with justice. Even when it's not retribution, there's no reason to assume the amount of penalty for a crime happens to be the exact amount that's appropriate, or even that they really necessarily did wrong by doing something illegal.

What do u think about deleting a kid's video game data or destroying a kid's console as punishment? Tbh my grandma would break my toys if I was being bad. I didnt really have video games growing up so she'd smash the next best thing lol 😆

ColorStorm:
Most of the things parents punish kids for is stupid sh\*t that they shouldn't be punished for. Kids just want to be free, instead of being unnaturally owned by, subordinate to and micromanaged by their caretakers and the school system. I have a feeling the whole idea of punishing children for their wrongdoings instead of mentoring and nurturing by other means is a characteristic of a screwed up society. Destroying toys is almost as antagonistic and violent as physical punishment, and it's a waste of resources in a world where we can't afford to waste resources.

When celebrities who are also millionaires, in most cases, say "We are all in this together!" do you get a little pissed and angry?

ColorStorm:
Not really, but it pisses me off a little when corporations use that in their commercials. As if they give a flying f-ck about anything but making money. The only reason they say that is that they (or their ad agency?) believe it's psychologically effective, that's why so many of them are saying the same thing..

Wasserpistole:
What are your thoughts on celebrities?

ColorStorm:
It's really interesting how excited people get when they meet celebrities, or even get noticed by one, like they won a million dollars, even though celebrities are just people like anyone else.. It's also interesting that they tend to name their kids off-the-wall names, I suspect it's because they think they're better than everyone else, and deep down they know their kids aren't likely to be celebrities, so they give them weird names as the only thing they can do to set them apart from the average person. Proof that celebrities think they're better than everyone else: celebrities only marry each other. And we all know some of them fall into the pitfall of becoming divas, doing things like making a rule that normal people can't look them in the eye, or becoming total assholes, treating people like crap or ignoring them, etc.

ColorStorm:
I also think they tend to be better-looking and have more interesting, intelligent, lively personalities than average people, which is why they're celebrities

Why do you think divorce rates in the Western World is 40-50%?

ColorStorm:
Monogamy isn't natural, at least/especially being with the same person for decades. Also people get into relationships for the wrong reasons, they demand the other make them happy.. also marriage kills romance.

Have you ever been completely enchanted by someone? If so, I'd love to hear how it happened.

ColorStorm:
I don't know of any specific 'how', it was just how they were. They were so relatable, closer than life.. they were like an embodiment of me, only cooler. Real, spontaneously creative, psychically reactive, etc. This is the same girl I mentioned before when you asked if we've ever been obsessed with someone. This was maybe 15 years ago. I still talk to her in email sometimes but she's a little different.

What makes a good parent?

ColorStorm:
loving their child unconditionally, giving the child as much freedom as possible, having lots of patience, not corporally punishing them, ever, giving them compliments, encouraging words, etc., never words of spite, feeding them healthy food, giving them lots of time, being in general wise, gracious, loving, compassionate, patient, kind, etc...i dunno what else.

ColorStorm:
not being authoritarian, not being micromanaging, explaining to the child why they should or shouldn't do something rather than just saying 'because i said so'

ColorStorm:
not believing you 'own' the child or are meant to be their master/dictator, but instead their caretaker

How many times you've been in love? and how did you know you were in love? What caused it?

ColorStorm:
I've been infatuated, in lust, etc. a number of times, not sure how many could be said to be "in love", maybe Heidi Wilson from 3rd/4th grade. I fell sooo hard for her, and I know it was love and not just what I wanted from her because I remember fantasizing about being her flying carpet that takes her anywhere she wants to go.. of course this requires that "being in love" includes unrequited love because I was too shy to talk to her. not sure any of the other girls i've wanted could be said to be really falling in love, maybe i was just in lust, or infatuated, or wanted something from them, but I think i'm being overly self-critical because that's the way society is. Chemistry is beautiful even if it has a selfish component.

Some people say that profit of companies is actually unpaid labour. What do you think about that?

ColorStorm:
You could reason that profit is the reward for organizing people and resources together to create goods/services. To benefit the community. You could argue it's a win/win situation because the people who made the profit catalyzed/synergized value for everyone that was worth the money spent, worth the labor, etc. Also it's possible for "profit" to be in reasonable proportion to work put into the company, though it's often excessive. Because it's usually excessive, and because many people make money for doing nothing, and because of the extreme imbalance of wealth in my country, and because companies don't *have* to be privately owned, I like the idea that profit is unpaid labor and the agenda it implies.

CrustyD:
Someone said she was on medication and may have stopped taking it during the time of her death. Maybe she had an episode and crawled in that tank and drowned

ZouBisouBisou:
Her sister said she had a habit of not taking her meds and becoming extremely irratic. Her toxicology report corroborated that. Also the tank wasn't locked.

ZouBisouBisou:
The prevailing theory is she didn't use the doors to get up there. There are fire escapes and you could just as easy jump to an adjoining roof from a window.

Why do we reject negative traits of personality or emotions as part of us too? Do you think it's better to accept them to work on them or just ignore them?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure since I don't do that, but maybe it's because people think their negative traits make them unlikable and it hurts not to be liked, especially by people you like. And/or because people generally attack others for their unlikable traits so people end up internalizing that abuse..

No. Never done it. I once trimmed my abdomen hair because I was crazy and thought my abdomen hair might be an impediment to getting a girl because (some?) girls don't like hairy guys. I wish I hadn't done that because I wonder if it's made my hair come back even stronger. Also once in a while I have to trim my shoulder hair and maybe? my back hair around my head hair. And occasionally my chest hair just below my neck so it doesn't creep up out of my shirt's head hole.

ChrisMartinez:
The "get out to vote" campaign is in full swing. Such lies. Your vote doesn't matter at all. Imagine if no one voted. If no one showed up in Nov? That would send a clear message that we're sick of the lies

ColorStorm:
This is the wrong message to send, IMO. The people who think they're votes don't matter and thus don't vote are the people who need to vote the most. Stupid, proud Republicans with narrow-minded conviction are over-represented because they're the ones who have a passion to vote. It's true that nobody's vote individually makes a difference, but they make a difference en masse, so we need the right groups of people to vote for things to work out well (or, at least, less badly). You'll never convince everybody not to vote, so you'll never see the day when no one votes and thus sends a clear message that we're sick of the lies, so it doesn't help to aim toward that goal. Besides, if nobody voted, then it would just result in congress voting instead and it wouldn't change anything. Or maybe it would, toward the worse, because Republicans are over-represented in congress due to various unfair voting practices that Republicans institute.

ChrisMartinez:
The choosing lesser of two evils still results in choosing evil. If we keep accepting shit nothing will ever change.

Is evolution making us stronger or weaker?

ColorStorm:
I would think our ancestor species were stronger than we are, because they were related to apes, but I'm not sure. But either way, nowadays there's not much room for evolution since civilization and modern technologies compensate for so many physical shortcomings. Somehow I feel like genetic drift will lead to more weakness. Overall our advanced intelligence makes brute strength much less necessary, especially since the advent of science, technology and industry.

Anyway I think .. it depends on which one the deadline-maker means, so you should find out if you plan to wait 'til the last minute. I don't know which way is more usual or conventional. The Kanye thing, though, I think is kinda silly since 5:00:59 is such an arbitrary number, what about 5:00:01?

Wasserpistole:
If you could end world hunger or end cancer for all time (nobody is able to feel hunger anymore or to get cancer, no matter what) what would you choose?

ColorStorm:
Tough choice. On one hand, hunger is something that only exist because of the selfishness of human beings, so curing hunger would rob our species of the opportunity to evolve to be more compassionate and generous, while cancer is a more incidental issue that arose and caught us off-guard. On the other hand, cancer is, IMO, the result of excessive technology, artificial chemicals, food additives, pollution, etc., so ultimately cancer is human-created just as much as hunger is, and the same mentality that's causing cancer is also destroying the environment, giving us 24/7 stress, and disconnecting our spirits from nature.

A spiritual book said cancer is the abuse of power.

What are your thoughts on sex toys? (i.e. personal use, effects on relationships, how it will impact society as the technology improves)

ColorStorm:
I don't know much about sex toys' impact on relationships and society, but I see them as basically harmless. However, as they get sophisticated enough not only to stimulate sex organs but also to simulate the whole sex act, including its intimacy with another human, I think this will screw people up in subtle ways. It'll be an abomination.

Lots of toys can make people last too long during sex and you can use them toys on other people not necessarily oneself.

What's worse? Being a bad person or someone with no personality? Explain your answer, please

ColorStorm:
being a bad person is worse. somebody with no personality isn't necessarily hurting anyone. someone who's a bad person is making the world a worse place. the only argument that could be made for the person with no personality is that it's probably worse for *him* than how bad being a bad person is for them. because no girl will like him, and nobody can truly love him, but girls like and people love bad people all the time. but besides that, anybody who says what's worse is having no personality is an immoral git who only cares about being entertained.

Sadly, ppl with no personality are easily manipulable and thats dangerous because they become the hand of the bad person

Is having children worth it?

ColorStorm:
Children are a constant pain in the ass and make the parents' lives miserable, at least when they're very young. After that though it's not much better because you never know how well you'll get along with them or how good of people they'll turn out to be. Besides that, modern culture is set up so that parents and children almost inevitably end up in mutually antagonistic dynamics. For example, you have no choice but to threaten them to go to school and do well in it even though it's child abuse and they hate it. One tool parents use to do this is biting words and unconditional love, and the alternatives (such as grounding, which forces the child to waste weeks of their lives not getting their natural social fulfillment and therefore doing nothing meaningful and dying inside) aren't all that better. (Well, tbh I'm not sure what punishment looks like today where most socializing is done online. Taking phones away?) As another example of how culture makes parent-child relationships antagonistic, there's the sexual hangups that we're taught from a young age and pass on to our children, telling them their private parts are bad, threatening them not to have the sexual relations with other kids that come naturally to them and make them happy, etc. Another example is the normalization of spanking, which is inherently violent, antagonistic, and psychologically and neurologically destructive.

You can't pay a babysitter to do it unless you happen to make a lot more than a babysitter makes.. so yes, I'm obviously totally behind that.

one time i said something to a girl, something metaphysical, that i felt i probably shouldn't have told her, and then AIM suddenly started popping up warnings from her like 20 times a second (which is impossible). it also popped up warnings between me and (or between her and? idr) her boyfriend who was also my friend. he's very metaphysically aware and said to me, "WHY DO YOU NEVER LEAAAARN" another time I was psychotic for a few weeks and amassing massive amounts of mental energy and exchanging it with others online, and then my computer went berzerk. like icons or taskbar elements were appearing on the screen in dozens of places, and the whole taskbar shifted to the left side of the screen, then after a while my pc just stopped working. one time i was in a bad place, like creating a black hole in my duplex, and the air was stinging me and my nieces when they came over, and i went out to go somewhere, and i saw a lizard on the sidewalk in my path just sitting there not moving, not running away from me, not responding to my advances, and breathing.. which i'd never seen before. then a minute after i started driving my car stalled out of nowhere, which it'd never done before. another time i was psychotic and suddenly something in me clicked, i sensed layers of comic-book-like imaginings (plannings, i think) panning quickly through my energy above my head, then my sister came into my room and started talking with her loud voice, and i could feel the sound physically bouncing off of me or off of my forcefield, and i put my hand up to block it and said, 'stop talking so loud!', and she laughed. then i was on the phone with a girl and she was talking and my niece was talking at the same time, and i could pay attention to both people at once with no problem by laying out both streams of talking in separate spatial directions. anyway the technology comes in with the fact that i could actually hear the sound of the girl talking bouncing around inside the phone. another time i thought bruce lee was attacking me psychically, and i was trying to fight him, and the radio said, 'way to go, bruce', and when i got back from the hospital i saw that the people in the irc channel i was in at the time (where i hadn't said anything) were saying things like, 'i don't know why he's being so hard on himself. bruce can kick anyone's ass in 60 seconds', and 'i just like to pick on richards'. another time i was entering a mental hospital and i was so angry that i willed the doors to open with a motion of my hands, and they opened at the same time.. the door was automatic, but i didn't know that. synchronicity. another time i was psychotic and feeling powerful and i went into a Target and there were ceiling fans slowly turning, and i looked at one and beamed a really strong beam of energy at it, willing it to stop. it started slowing down as soon as i started doing that and eventually stopped. i figure it was because the air conditioner was making it turn, and it had stopped right when i willed that.. but that's not mutually exclusive of my willing it being the reason, again, synchronicity. sometimes while coding (in a normal state of mind), the program won't be working correctly when it clearly should be, so i add a debug statement just printing a variable or two at a critical place, and then it starts working correctly. then i take the debug statements back out, so it's exactly as it was before, and it continues to work correctly. this has happened to me multiple times, the last time was just this week. another time while psychotic and having a lot of mental/spiritual energy, the light started flickering.. and that same day i looked at the alarm clock once, it was 1:11, the next time i randomly looked at it, it was 2:22, the next time i randomly looked at it, it was 3:33. i think there are other instances of technology-related paranormal instances i'm forgetting.

I'd feel a little awkward. I might want to say no because i'm not religious, but then, I think prayer might have real meaning anyway. Either way I'd probably acquiesce just to be nice, if they're asking me to pray with him then they're reaching out to me.. I definitely wouldn't make a complaint, why try to ruin their life for doing something that doesn't actually hurt me.. if I wanted to say no to them I could. That's some Karen shit.

How many jobs did you have in your life?( Working as a papergirl/boy for example also counts of course but please don't count internships (Praktika) here.)

I've counted 9 before, but I can only remember 8 of them now. 1. Temp at Miami Herald customer service through the temp agency Personnel One 2. Florida Plants and Ground Cover for $5.50/hr 3. Dodge City Amusements (they lease party rides and host parties) 4. Painted a hangar for this guy at Tamiami Air 5. Tuesday Morning (stock clerk) 6. Busy Bee Car Wash 7. Publix (stock clerk) 8. City Carrier for the United States Post Office It sounds like a lot of work, but most of those jobs only lasted a few weeks or less. The longest one was the plant nursery one which lasted 6 months. I have way too much social anxiety to work, but I braved trying it anyway a few times back before I got Supplemental Security Income because I thought I'd have no choice but to get a job sooner or later.

If your national weather service (Met Office in the UK), advised of severe temperatures that could kill the elderly and vulnerable, would you dismiss it as scaremongering or take precautions?

I wouldn't take that as scaremongering, I see no reason to interpret it that way, but I wouldn't necessarily take any precautions either. I'm not elderly or extra vulnerable, and I don't spend much time out of the air-conditioned house anyway. My parents are elderly, I guess, so I might warn them not to go out if I think they didn't happen to hear the announcement.

Blu-Ray is better, of course, with no drawbacks. I don't know of any reason to prefer DVD over Blu-ray, other than the price, but blu-ray players aren't really that expensive.. I have two or three Blu-ray burners for my computer that I can use to play Blu-rays with the right software, not counting the one I gave away and the one or two that broke. At least one of them does M-DISC too. An external Blu-ray burner with good ratings on Amazon is only like $100.

What are your thoughts on having teachers providing grades at school based on predicted performance (no moderation) when it comes to qualifications?

ColorStorm:
Not sure what you mean re qualifications, but I think it's illogical to give grades based on predicted performance. The whole point of issuing another grade is to see how well the student is doing at that time--to see how well they learned the new material, or at least to see how much they've improved or worsened. If you're just going to go by past performance, then just go by past performance explicitly, what's the point of using a made-up middle-man by predicting?

Not sure how it is in the states but the qualifications are GCSE's and A levels/Btecs that determine if you can get into a good uni and course

Is it better to live a short, intense life or a long, boring life?

Depends on the nature of the intensity. A life can be intensely bad. In that case IMO the long boring life is better. If the life is half intense bad, half intense good, it's hard to say... I think I'd rather live the long boring life than experience true terror, even if it means a lack of occasional ecstasy. Well, I dunno, maybe not.. there are some moments that can make an entire life worth it, that probably wouldn't exist in the long, boring life.

Friend of mine that speaks broken English, looks very ethnic, and who's family came here as refugees from Cambodia is (and I shit you not) a Trump supporter. My question is would you ever stop being friends with someone over politics?

ColorStorm:
Probably not, one of my best friends is a Trump supporter. I'm not sure why, I guess he's just corrupt and evil inside. But I don't really believe in canceling a friendship (or disowning a relative, etc.) over politics. As passionately as I feel about it, I guess on some level I'm sort of a relativist when it comes to politics, in that being on the wrong side doesn't necessarily mean someone is a horrible person, they just have a shockingly, inexplicably different perspective. If they were really a horrible person you'd be able to tell, it'd be obvious, for reasons outside their political allegiances. So politics is just "one of those things." I think it's wise what they say about not discussing religion or politics. I relate it to music taste: no matter how much I relate to a person emotionally, chances are they dislike my music and I dislike theirs, or at least a lot of it. I guess politics and music taste are areas where small psychal differences are apparently magnified.

What are your thoughts on the Jacob Blake ordeal? Is "but he was guilty of stuff!" An acceptable justification for such a senseless murder?

ColorStorm:
I just read about it. I don't know what he was guilty of, other than being on his ex-girlfriend's premises or something like that where he was unwelcome. Even if he was guilty of something worse, it's not the police's job to be judge, jury and executioner. Though apparently they'd already tased him and he opened his car.. I guess they feared he was going to pull a gun out? Seems rather speculative on the part of the officer though. And it's obvious that in general police officers in the US are way too trigger-happy. '"What we see is very clear, if there's a scuffle ... he's not swinging at an officer, he's not doing anything to attack an officer. He is trying to get away," Crump told CNN.' I don't think police should be able to shoot you for trying to get away, and I think they legally can't. I hope this officer gets fired and maybe even goes to prison.

Humanity is a weird combination of pure evil and being an idealistic dreamer. Humanity also thinks strangely emotionally rather than rationally. And (most of) humanity is naive regarding its belief that science and technology is enlightenment and the answer to everything. Also I think we're doomed because of our ability to ignore the obvious, namely our unsustainable treatment of the environment (or at least our propensity to think about it and pay lip service to it and then continue to live as if it's not an issue..).

CrustyD:
Do you like your clothes to fit or hang loose?

ColorStorm:
Loose. In shirts an L will fit me, but I prefer to wear XL. In pants I wear L, which fits perfectly around my waist, but doesn't fit snug around my legs, I don't wear, like, skinny jeans or anything. Actually I've just recently started wearing jogging pants, which tend to be a little tight fitting, but I like them not because of their snugness, but just because they're the only kind of pants I can get with really cool colorful designs on them. Before that I wore mostly only windpants, which are pretty loose fitting. My mom says I look better/skinnier in L shirts, but I don't like how they make my stomach bulge and other aspects of my shape obvious.

Different people mean different things. Some people are morons and can't see how time is intrinsic to nature (or is according to all appearances) and they mean that time is just a human invention.. like maybe we created time when we created clocks or something. Other people mean that there's something metaphysically deeper than time that the perception of time arises from as an effect, like what Julian Barbour describes for example.

Wasserpistole:
To help others in need creates karma of beauty. Meaning you will be attractive in your next life if you do it often enough and with a good heart. If it is the truth, do you think it's a fair deal?

ColorStorm:
I think even if it's the truth, there are still plenty of other things that make life unfair. And btw, the pretty suffer along with everyone else. And I don't think it's true, because if it were then those traits of charity would usually carry over into the next life so there'd be a strong correlation between being good-looking and being charitable/helpful, and I haven't noticed one..

Wasserpistole:
Many of us abuse positive karma that the have already received like good looks or health or money all the time. And somebody who helped many people, believe it

ZouBisouBisou:
What's the most out of shape you've ever been and what's been your peak physique? Which did you go from and how?

ColorStorm:
I was 200 pounds once. I stepped on a scale for the first time in months, and it said exactly 200.0. That was interesting. All the extra weight was in my belly too, and I'm rather small-framed, so I looked kinda ridiculous. That was a few years ago. About 10-20 years ago I used to be pretty thin. I ate like a bird all my life, but then I started eating just out of boredom, and that's when I started getting fat. I'd say peak physique must've been when I was a kid, because our bodies always go downhill from there. Even then though I had a really hard time doing the mile run. =P My coach even asked me if I had asthma once because of how I was breathing after it (I don't). But I suffered through it and got the Presidential Fitness Award every year. One year I made it by like a second or so.

How many books do you own you read just once, how many you read twice, how many you read again and again?

ColorStorm:
I don't think I've ever read a book more than once, it's just against my religion. Sometimes I've read parts of books more than once, usually looking for something to quote it to others.

ColorStorm:
don't know how many books i have that I've read, dozens.. i've read probably 100-200 books in my life but a lot of them i don't still have.

None twice or more often?

ColorStorm:
I don't think so. *Possibly* Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Idk. My memory sucks.

ColorStorm:
oh wait.. I started reading Conversations with God book three over again, not sure if I finished, maybe

ColorStorm:
by Neale Donald Walsch

Kate:
Hm ... the most printed and sold and read books all claim to be sort of conversation with god?

ColorStorm:
I guess. I can tell the difference though. And the Holy Bible, Koran, etc. are popular only because people are indoctrinated into the religion from a young age

Kate:
.. with the exception of the little red book by Mao, that claims to not be a conversation with a god, but in hindsight it appears as such nevertheless.

ColorStorm:
i explained a little why I believe Conversations with God to be truly conversations with God in this post

ColorStorm:
https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/02/05/is-hatred-ever-truly-justified/

ColorStorm:
starting with the line "ColorStorm: To answer your question about why I believe the words are from God.."

ColorStorm:
one thing I didn't mention there is that he said a few things (about society, etc.) that I always knew were true but that I'd never heard anyone else say, I

ColorStorm:
actually dropped a tear on the book at one point.

Kate:
Historically I think that "justice" also developed as a means to justify and give reason to the naturally revengeful hate that is invoked by evil actions.

Kate:
So we find that notion in most justice systems in many human societies. A society can agree to place rules and laws and punishments as a means to prevent

Kate:
simple rioting and killing each others. It is a form of adaptation to the human condition that needs venting the basic animal urges we all have.

ColorStorm:
Yeah, a lot of/most of what people mean when they say "justice" is revenge/avarice. I don't think revenge is justifiable, it's just a vile emotion we have due

ColorStorm:
to being part of an immature/primitive society

ColorStorm:
but prison also serves to deter crime and to protect society from criminals, which is valid imo

ColorStorm:
but I consider that separate from revenge/retribution

Kate:
Many people seem to argue against prison actually based on the lack of revenge/retribution there!

How would you feel if this was a work colleague or you were the employer? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/adult-baby-struggles-find-work-22604784

ColorStorm:
As a colleague I might think it's kinda funny or at least weird, but I wouldn't ridicule him over it. As an employer.. I dunno. It's not so much the look but the fact that someone who wants to wear that all day (especially at work!?) might be a bit flaky in some way. I guess also it's the look, because it might cause a lot of unwanted workplace drama. And if customers can see him then it might give them a bad impression of the company. I don't necessarily think it *should* give a bad impression, but you have to be practical.

Andy:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being none, 10 being all) how much faith do you have in humanity? (i.e. is there good in this world)

ColorStorm:
There's a lot of good in the world, just as there's a lot of evil in the world. Most people are mostly benign and have a conscience, but they can be deplorably inconsiderate/damaging too, just depending on context. How socially acceptable something is, how easy it is to ignore the damage, the emotional/aesthetic framing of it, encouragement by peers, how much they stand to gain from it, chances of being caught, etc. etc. My faith in humanity isn't based so much on the ratio of good to evil, but on whether I think humanity will ever make it to utopia or will always be ruled by evil and steeped in suffering. Evil rules the world because evil is the greater power seeker and because having no conscience means more effective tactics are on the table for you. And evil/selfishness loves to exploit as many people as possible for personal gain. Maybe the dominance of evil, corruption, pain and suffering is more of a factor in my faith or lack of faith in humanity than our projected future, I'm not sure. As for our future, the idealist and spirtualist in me thinks we'll eventually emotionally evolve and make it to utopia, but the realistic observer in me thinks things will never improve that much until the day we destroy ourselves or at least have to start over again. Whichever may faith is based on, I'd say it's about a 2. I think I'm just bitter.

Wieselmann:
What are your quirks and features?

ColorStorm:
I *hate* when I see a fork lying around where it doesn't belong. They remind me of emaciated hunger and the fact that we have to keep ravenously eating other living beings constantly just in order to stay alive. And they just look so.. underworldly/low-frequency. I love to wear colorful pants, colorful shirts, colorful hats and a colorful bracelet. I used to always wear a colorful bucket hat when I went out, or if I didn't have one (I usually have) a baseball cap (I have over a hundred), to cover up my baldness. I did that for like 20 years, though I've been thinking of giving that up lately. I've collected a lot of different things in my life .. street signs, unusual lights, coke cans and bottles, pennies, rubber bands, alarm clocks, baseball caps, special coins, rocks/crystals, and other things I can't think of atm. I still kinda collect the alarm clocks and the rocks and crystals. Sometimes I sleep for 2 days or stay up for 4 days for no reason. I dream every second I'm asleep. I go directly from waking to dreaming, directly from dreaming to waking, and with no dreamless sleep in between. It's been that way for a few years. I take an anti-psychotic to keep me from getting Acute Exhaustive Psychosis (not sure if that's what it is). I have such extreme social anxiety and general cluelessness that I can't travel by myself or keep a job and do it well and even trying to work at a job is utterly terrifying to me. I have virtually no emotions. I didn't have sex until I was 28 because of my extreme shyness. I'm a double Aquarius, a triple 7 numerologically, and an INTJ.

What are the pros and cons of universal basic income? 🙂

Pro: people won't have to stress out all the time over their jobs because there'll be a safety net so they can't end up homeless, it'll be a more compassionate country where we don't let a sizable proportion of the population live on the streets and beg for money for food every day.. Con: less incentive to work, maybe not enough people would choose to work to pay for the people who don't..

It would take a balance of not giving too much money away but enough to keep the essentials.

Should people be punished for stupid things they say on the internet when they were young or is it really who they are? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb4JKTgoBE0

ColorStorm:
I think people should have freedom of speech, both legally and on a practical level (which means they shouldn't be fired, etc. for things they say on the internet). Also people do often change from when they're younger, I don't agree that they would necessarily go back and delete their tweets after a change of heart. And like I've said before, depending on how old they are, times may have been different when they were younger. It's obvious form history that everyone always helplessly falls in line with the society they live in, so they shouldn't be punished e.g. for homophobic in a homophobic society. (I didn't watch the video;p)

ZouBisouBisou:
I agree. Another thing that gets lost is this won't make her any less racist, in fact it's going to have the opposite effect. Racism stems from looking for

Are you sure you have to lie? Is lying really ultimately beneficial? I think I'd just tell my kid flat out that school is terrible, mind-numbing, it's going to take away their creativity, etc., but I have no choice but to send them because the state makes me do it..

ColorStorm:
I'm guessing there's something inherently difficult about engineering something to manipulate unwieldy physical objects like paper.

Maybe a properly made printer, given the task they have to perform, would cost over a thousand dollars. Idk just guessing.

Animals! Have they free will in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, but their free will is less dynamic since they're less self-aware (maybe?), or at least they don't have (as much?) abstract conceptual thought. They have consciousness/life/awareness, which inherently has freedom.

Is Robert Oppenheimer guilty of anything ? He blamed himself for responsibility for the atom Bomb creation

ColorStorm:
Guilt is pointless and self-destructive. If he feels *regret* for his role then that's fair. It's entirely up to him.

He seemed totally remorseful and apologetic so much so he dedicated his life afterwards to nuclear disarmament

If something is going to happen , will any amount of anxiety or worry make it not happen ?

Wieselmann:
Do men get more feminine overall? If yes, is that a good or bad a thing?

ColorStorm:
I don't know if it's happening, but i think it's probably a good thing for two reasons. 1. Masculinity tends to be evil and harsh. It makes the world a dark place to live in. Especially when our leaders and other authority figures are predominately male. Without masculinity we probably wouldn't have war, for example. And 2. It seems women are starting to resent men more and more, while men are elevating women more and more.. if men don't become more refined women may become the new dominant gender while we men are oppressed.

"If it's meant to be, it will". Thoughts on this?

ColorStorm:
Don't know. It's probably not true, though, otherwise there'd be no point in endowing beings with the ability to act and make decisions, because decisions and actions clearly influence what happens, and if they don't, then they're superfluous. Well, I guess you could say the decisions and actions are only for the things that are neither meant to be nor meant not to be, but, eh.. you can decide to kill yourself, then suddenly that means that everything that could have otherwise happened wasn't meant to be? I don't think so.

Currently what is ur favorite show, and what is ur favorite episode from that show?

ColorStorm:
There have been better shows, but of the ones that are still going my favorite is a toss-up between Family Guy and South Park. Unlike Family Guy the style of South Park is a little much to take in in large doses, but it's more inspired/genius than Family Guy. I have no idea what my favorite episode from either of those is. I've seen way too many, many of them were pretty good, and I'd have to think for days to remember half of them. =P I do remember at the time thinking it was one of the funniest things I ever saw when Chef's TV was so sophisticated he pressed the wrong sequence of buttons and it transformed into a robot and started walking around killing people. =P My sense of humor is probably different now though.

Wieselmann:
Try to roughly imagine all the different lives that you could have lived if you made other decisions. Do you think your current life is better than half of the other possible lives?

ColorStorm:
It's impossible to say. I regret some decisions I've made--mainly chances I didn't take--that I theorize might have improved my life (probably wishful thinking), but for all I know maybe things would have come out worse. Butterfly effect and everything. I mean.. I live in a house, I have all the food and gadgets I need or event want, I'm in good health, my loved ones are still alive, etc. Things could be worse. The things I was so close to getting, I wanted/needed so badly that I literally can't imagine how getting them would have affected me, even though they weren't particularly enabling things, just experiences. When I make a bad decision I often find myself imagining what would have happened if I'd choses otherwise and it usually leads me to a conclusion where making the better decision ultimately wouldn't have helped me anyway. Maybe it's just convenient thinking, but it's like I'm magnetically attracted to those lines of thought and they give me comfort.

If you saw a mother or a father beating her/his kid (10 years old maybe) severely in the middle of the street, how would you react? What do you think?

I'd think he was an asshole child abuser, I'd feel bad for the kid and the lifelong psychological damage he'd probably have, and I'd call the police but he may leave before the police get there. I'd want to attack him but I'm not a big guy and I've never been in a fight.. I'm not sure whether I'd do something physical or not. Oh, one good idea I might have: capture on video with my cell phone to show the cops.

A drastic change in lifestyle for everyone on the planet ensuing extreme environmental protection laws being put into place as soon as possible. Placing environmental regulations on every country on Earth, or at least on the worst offenders, may require the instatement of a one world government.

Orange Hitler and his closet gay running mate have tested positive for Covid.. Your thoughts?

It'll be a relief if he dies, but on the other hand his stealing the election could cause a civil war which could be just what we need. It's the only way to correct the wealth imbalance and the only way to instate necessary emergency environmental regulations. It could be that he caught COVID and is going to die because the timeline is looking like there won't be a civil war. Anyway, I don't know what's best, so I'm refraining from making a wish and just laying back and seeing what happens.

Do you think americans should also use SI-units?

ColorStorm:
Probably. I'm not sure if I'd ever get completely used to them, but I think the system is more logical/efficient and it's also more efficient to be streamlined with the rest of the world. And it's also more efficient to only have one system in the same country.. here there's two. Take tools, screws, etc. for example, some of them are sized in imperial units and some of them are sized in metric. Then there's 2-liter soda bottles, etc. etc. I think if Americans were rational they'd want to use the metric system and we'd be using it already.

Wieselmann:
Cars keep getting quicker. The Tesla Roadster can get to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds. Do you think there will be an acceleration limit empowered by law in the future?

ColorStorm:
Well, maybe if they just wanted to control people for its own sake or cater to cops who have reflexive emotions about people accelerating too fast.. I can see no *logical* reason to limit acceleration. Why would it be a problem? The only issue is speed, it shouldn't matter how fast you get to that speed. I guess there could be an issue with other drivers not being able to accurately judge where you'll be at a given time if you accelerate too fast. Or maybe there's a correlation between people wanting to accelerate fast and wanting to drive recklessly, though I'm guessing driving recklessly is already illegal. Speeding while doing so certainly is. And stopping people from accelerating quickly won't stop them from speeding or driving recklessly. I guess being able to accelerating fast (if you're talking about a limit in how the cars are built) could give people a slight advantage when outrunning cops, but only slight.. I mean if you're faster than them then you're faster, either way. Maybe there's some good reason to not allow fast acceleration that I'm not aware of, but I'm afraid if they put a limit on it it'll probably be for irrational reasons (just because accelerating quickly *feels* like lawlessness) and if they cite a logical reason for it it'll just be an excuse.

ColorStorm:
On the other hand, there's virtually nowhere that it's lawful to drive 120 mph yet they haven't put restrictions on cars that disallow them to drive that fast..

ColorStorm:
so maybe they won't put restrictions on acceleration either for the same reason, whatever that reason is.

I understand why ppl believe in an afterlife. The idea that things just end is scary to them. But why not embrace that? We've all had shit lives while we don't want to die now. Find comfort in the idea that it's time to finally rest? 🙂

ColorStorm:
If there's no afterlife, then death isn't rest--it's nothing. You cease to exist. You don't experience rest, relief, or anything else. I think it's a common misconception that if there's no afterlife then death is resting in peace because we're literally unable to imagine not existing. I don't believe in the afterlife because death is scary, I care about the truth too much to just believe what I want to. I believe in the afterlife because of the wealth of near-death experiences, sometimes involving people floating above and seeing or hearing things they "shouldn't have been able to see/hear" from where they physically were; kids remembering past lives and recalling details that were later verified that they "couldn't have known"; people recalling past lives and life between lives while under hypnosis, sometimes recalling details about past lives that were subsequently verified; many, many, many ghost and poltergeist experiences, some of which have been caught on video, and people experiencing the same things in the same buildings, even when they don't know beforehand that a given building is supposed to be haunted, many people being staunch skeptics only until it actually happens to them; etc., etc.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and plenty of scientific experiments in parapsychology that prove the mind somehow transcends the physical body

ChrisMartinez:
There's also studies that say near death experiences are signs of the brain dying.

ChrisMartinez:
And since thoughts of family and religion are common in ppl's last moments the experiences are often the same

ChrisMartinez:
My take personally is i do find comfort in believing the lights go out and that's it. I don't want to be conscious. Missing my family.

Should voting be a privilege or a right?

ColorStorm:
It's tempting to want to make it a privilege, e.g. you have to take an IQ test or a test of political knowledge & understanding to vote, but I think that would just end up being taken advantage of in a partisan way by politicians. So it should probably be a right for everyone, maybe even mandatory so that we don't have selection bias, e.g. an effect where a demographic with certain political alignment likes to vote more than another demographic. I also agree with everything else Zou said--ranked voting, let convicts vote, get rid of the electoral college, etc.

ZouBisouBisou:
Why do you think most serial killers are American? Something like 90% of all known serial killers (past and present) hail from the States.

ColorStorm:
Maybe because we're a relatively new country and the melting pot of the world so we lack a strong cultural backbone. No universal strong morals or something. Or the wisdom and tenderness of the ages got lost because it stopped being passed down. Maybe America is just the most pathological country on Earth culturally/psychosocially. Maybe it's connected to our affluence and power somehow, i.e. maybe it's not a coincidence that we're also the richest (not per capita) and most powerful nation in the world. Then it's always possible that there's some sort of selection bias going on, e.g. maybe serial killers aren't caught or aren't reported or it's not realized that multiple crimes are connected as often in other countries. Idk. I'd go with the break in parental wisdom and tenderness being passed down.

A nice person is going to send you a brand new PS5 for free. Would you prefer the Digital Edition or the Standard Edition?

ColorStorm:
I had to look up the difference, I'd never heard of the two editions. Apparently the standard edition is more expensive and comes with something the digital edition doesn't, and that's the only difference. So that.

Under the assumption that deities exist, what seems more likely to you: monotheism or polytheism?

ColorStorm:
Monotheism, because I see God as all-encompassing, utterly complete ("everything that is, everything that is not, and everything in between"), but there are probably also beings that aren't *the* God but are powerful enough to be regarded as "gods", so both are probably true but in different senses.

Wieselmann:
Is the probability that you could tunnel through a wall above 0?

ColorStorm:
If you get into enough significant digits of precision, I guess so. Quantum tunneling is generally thought of as a microscopic effect, but there's no hard limit on how far something can tunnel AFAIK, it just becomes exponentially more unlikely the farther you consider. And there's no reason octillions of subatomic particles can't randomly happen to tunnel the exact same distance in the exact same direction at the exact same time. Of course, there are infinite possible ways you would probably dissolve/explode/whatever into chaos, or even half of you would tunnel one way and half of you would tunnel another way, before you would ever tunnel in one direction coherently. Practically speaking the probability might as well be zero. Unless there's some possible force that could be at work that science hasn't discovered. For example, maybe it could be a miracle or maybe one could *will* it to happen.

Wieselmann:
Good answer, except for the last sentence

Wieselmann:
Why are men more susceptible to conspiracy theories than women?

ColorStorm:
Men embody mobility. There's a lot more statistical outliers in males in many dimensions than in females. Men are all about action. Believing in a conspiracy theory is linked to action because it implies a simple way to solve a major and complex problem exists (dissolve the conspiracy). Men are less connected to source, so they're more likely to believe something that isn't true. And they're more likely to go out on a limb because they're more daring. They're also more independent so this may translate to being more independent-thinking. If what I'm saying sounds sexist it's just because I'm not mentioning the positive qualities of women along side those of men because they're irrelevant to my answer.

ColorStorm:
by more statistical outliers i mean that the bell curves are wider for men

ColorStorm:

Would you leave this place if Dalia Dippolito became a member?

ColorStorm:
No, I think that would be interesting. And she's cute. :D And I just saw her say while watching a video about her (after looking her up for this question) that she's understanding, sweet and compassionate, and I doubt she would have the audacity to say those things if they weren't true (yes, maybe she merely *believed* she as those things, but only a good person would even *aspire* to be understanding, sweet and compassionate). Who knows why she wanted to kill her husband (she claims she was told to say what she said to the undercover cop playing a hitman as a kind of audition, but I doubt it). He could have been a horrible person that she couldn't escape from just by divorcing him for some reason. Idk, I'd have to look more into it. Either way, though, no, idgaf if a convict uses this site.

Wasserpistole:
This documentary about her ass could blow you mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JttwV6XZ_I

ColorStorm:
I'm at 12:30 so far. The documentary isn't clear on her motives. Seems like bizarre behavior. Maybe she's some kind of psychopath. I also suspect sociopathy.

ColorStorm:
It's also bizarre to, paradoxical even, that she would claim to be a loving, understanding, and compassionate person.

ColorStorm:
And I'm surprised by how well she acted when the police told her her husband had died.

ColorStorm:
Especially since when they found the cocaine in the car and the husband broke down crying she was emotionless.

ColorStorm:
I'm at 21:48 now. I don't hate her, but I don't understand her. I don't really understand how she could be/become that cold-hearted and manipulative. Especially

ColorStorm:
since she apparently didn't come from a broken home or anything.

ColorStorm:
One thing I'll mention is that the police officers/detectives or whatever are just as manipulative as she is. They want her to cooperate, and they use at least

ColorStorm:
two manipulative or deceptive tactics to do it, but it's not in her best interest to cooperate.

ColorStorm:
they believe their manipulation is moral and just because they're the good guys punishing someone for doing wrong.

ColorStorm:
Another comment: I get the impression that she's used to getting out of trouble / getting her way based on her charm and acting/emotional manipulation, but she

ColorStorm:
probably doesn't realize in this case that she's in way over her head this time and it won't hlep

ColorStorm:
I hate to say this, but around 30:44 I had to laugh a little because the back-and-forth between her and her boyfriend was absurd.

ColorStorm:
also based on things i saw briefly in the two videos i watched i think her lawyer is a dirtbag. but i guess that goes without saying, he's a lawyer.

ColorStorm:
re the judge's comments, i didn't realize that punishment AND retribution were both things that judges officially weigh into a sentence. that's so backwarcd

ColorStorm:
the only thing that should weigh in is protection of society from the individual. and especially in this case, the judge didn't seem to realize that she's

ColorStorm:
probably a sociopath, which is a genetic disorder. he was looking for whether to blame her for her actions based on her soul, etc., and he would have forgiven

ColorStorm:
her for having bad DNA if he were more educated.

ColorStorm:
but the line between blame and no blame is always hazy and paradoxical for reasons like this. what counts as responsibility and what doesn't?

See, I knew you would find it interesting. Thank you for your comments, sir inhahe.

Cops and black ppl have more in common than ppl want to believe. We see a few bad cops and we judge them all, sound familiar? 😃

The reason we judge them all, though, is that even the ones that don't abuse/murder people are complicit by adhering to the Blue Code and not telling those who do. But what people don't know is that any officer who does will be ostracized, reprimanded, etc. and won't last long. The system is broken.

Wieselmann:
How do you know that the whole world that you know does not only exist in your mind?

ColorStorm:
It's possible, but it's just unlikely. Things behave as if they have existence independent of my mind--what I think about them, what I believe about them, what I remember or don't remember about them, what I know about them, etc. Take the concept of "object permanence," for example. Saying that, you can't prove that it's not all in your mind. As long as you accept that there could be contents of your mind you're not aware of (like your subconscious), it's possible that everything you're not currently consciously aware of resides within that realm of mind. It's also possible that all that "exists" (whatever that might mean) is what you're perceiving right now and there's some function of your mind that generates and presents you with experiences that plausibly come from some grander reality. Of course, even then, there would have to be a part of your mind you're not aware of: the part that generates experiences and ensures that they're coherent with each other as they would be given an external reality. That being said, I believe everything is *ultimately* life, and life is another word for consciousness, and mind is an inherent property of consciousness. I believe the physical world is (probably) either a projection of consciousness or a particular, odd perspective on it--perhaps a perspective on a consciousness that's been reduced for some reason to an extremely low frequency. And I also believe that, while there are many levels of differentiation, ultimately we're all one. So, you could say that, in an ultimate sense, I do believe hat the whole world is in "my" mind.

sometimes the music in stores makes me feel existentially down because the voices sound so...distant...for lack of a better word. not physically distant, but metaphysically/spiritually distant. like we're all truly alone. some of the voices sound listless in an existential way too, which is also draining. like in the song Peaches & Herb - Reunited

I'm a little OCD about it, I don't like my toenails to be even a little bit long. Maybe because they store dirt under them, or maybe because it's pleasing to peel them shorter.

Can spatial objects have a beginning and an end or are "beginning" and "end" always related to time?

ColorStorm:
This is purely a semantics question, and the answer is yes. Though it's a little awkward to say that a thing can have a spatial "beginning," it's more common for them to have an "end" I think. A hiking trail, for example, can have a beginning and an end though.

ColorStorm:
i guess you know this but more commonly than beginning and end you'd have 'front' and 'back'. long, windy things can have a beginning and end though, at least

Is it problematic that people are being replaced by machines and advances in automation? Or will the new economy make up for all those displaced jobs the way it virtually always has?

ColorStorm:
I don't know about the economy making up for displaced jobs in the past, I figured automation will be unprecedented in that respect, but it seems to me that it could be problematic. Ideally, everyone wins because more goods and services are being rendered for less labor. For it to be worse than it was before because of an increase in efficiency would mean the capitalistic system is hilariously, deeply flawed. Well, it's not hilarious I guess, I'm not laughing. But it's imaginable -- getting paid for doing labor is the entire basis for money flow / distribution to the average person in a capitalistic economy. Take that away and the system could break. Hopefully it would merely have to adapt and change. We could learn to distribute wealth for free. But would that work? If you can get everything you need or want for little to no effort, what's the incentive for those few people who would be needed and are able to design, build, maintain, power, etc. the machines to do that work? I guess they could just get paid *more* than the average person? If the country is still capitalistic, what's the incentive of the company to distribute profits to the masses? Would we have to switch to socialism? Maybe it's in the companies' best interest to distribute the wealth because, if the masses are broke, then there's nobody to buy their stuff? But how does that make sense, that the company would give away money just in order to get it back? Economics questions like this have always been beyond my ability to comprehend for some reason. Incidentally I was just reading about this problem earlier today. https://www.cracked.com/article_28610_5-scary-questions-about-future-no-one-wants-to-ask.html Question #2

Wasserpistole:
What is your opinion about *surreptitious advertising? (*Schleichwerbung - for our German friends)

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure what to think about it. It's in a gray area for me. I mean, on one hand, the producers could have picked any old brand to represent the object in question, it's arbitrary anyway, so what's it matter if someone pays them to represent a certain brand? There's no harm done unless that brand portrayed is somehow intrinsically worse than whichever brand they would have picked (or worse than inventing a generic label or whatever). On the other hand, the produces of the show are more likely to pick a more popular brand, so paying to advertise a brand can be misleading in that it skews perception of likely popularity. That's minor though, because there's nothing necessarily wrong with glorifying underdogs or less popular things either. Also, I guess it's not just about what brand you select for an object, but maybe the script can change somewhat to fit around the surreptitious advertising? That's more of a gray area. I think people should have a right to know when they're being advertised at, and having the script of what you're watching cater to a specific product makes that show partially an *advertisement*. On the other hand, it's hard to pinpoint exactly where the damages are of *not* making that transparent. I guess it comes back again to being misleading about how attractive a product is because you think the writers just threw that part of the story in out of genuine love of that product. So it's kind of like when a person shows up in a commercial and says they love the product but they haven't really used it and it doesn't say in captioning that they're a paid actor.. Basically, I think it's a little bit underhanded but it's hard to identify any specific damage done. On the other hand,

Wieselmann:
Do you find it unethical to abort a child solely because its known that it would have a disability like down syndrome?

ColorStorm:
I think abortion is generally unethical, but conditions like Down syndrome may be exceptions. Why bring someone into the world who will only be a burden? Especially if they're going to live their entire lives with difficulty and suffering. Down's syndrome carriers in particular seem to be happy enough though, maybe? And maybe living a life dependent on others is no worse than being self-supporting because by not participating in the workforce you're doing less damage to the earth? But still, back to the difficulty, suffering, being picked on, etc. associated with some conditions. It seems unethical to bring a child into the world in those cases, and not to mention that it would be a terrible burden on the parents. On the other hand, most people suffer more than they are happy, a good proportion of people would rather not be living, so if abortion is ethical for disabilities maybe it's also ethical in the general case? Maybe it's even unethical *not* to abort? Also, we would never even consider killing an infant, toddler, or whatever because they have a disability, so what's the difference if they're a fetus? They're still a living human; they're just not out of the womb yet. And yes, it depends on how far along in the pregnancy they are, but there's no definitive way to say at what point along the gestation it's no longer "okay" to abort, so it's best to err on he safe side, just like you wouldn't shoot a gun at someone if you weren't sure whether it's loaded. On this grounds you could argue that it's never "okay" to abort no matter what the condition. But my moral *feeling* is that it's justifiable, maybe even ethically preferable, to abort someone with a seriously debilitating genetic condition or birth defect. And feelings are often better-informed than rationality. And what are right and wrong ultimately based on if not feelings anyway? Another thing to consider is whether people/spirits choose to be born into a certain context before they're born. If a being chose to be born knowing that he'd be disabled but knowing that the challenge would benefit him in some way, then it's definitely not very nice to abort him/her. On the other hand if we choose the context we're born into then the being must have known he/she'd likely be aborted when that's the case, so maybe that's what he/she is actually banking on? It's hard to say how much we really know about the life we'll be born into before we're born on whether we even choose to be born. Also, in one of Neale Donald Walsch's books in the dialog series, God says that it's lacking in compassion for people to have children in some particular country where they're very poor and can't afford to feed their children.. for him to say that implies that it's not always the case that the being chooses to be born knowing ahead-of-time the context they'll be born into and that it's in their best interest. (I know you think all this talk about spirits and conversations with God is bullshit, but I don't want to censor half of my opinion.)

I read once that most virgins kill themselves by the time they're 40, and I can believe it. So I guess a 40-year-old virgin (a male, at least) should be lauded for their strength. I have no problem with them at all, I just feel bad for them. Not that my situation is any better.

Are you someone who generally naps or no?

ColorStorm:
I sleep at random times for random amounts of time, sometimes I'll be awake for only an hour and go back to sleep, but usually when I sleep it's for hours, and when it's not for hours it's because I had been awake for too long, so IDK if you can call them naps or not.. "I'm going to take a nap" is something I never say, though.

As the global population exceeds 7.8 billion people, some French people have made the decision not to have children , Because of over population. Is this a bit too radical ?

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. Is this true ?

ColorStorm:
Probably. Most people just believe whatever suits their personality and desires. It's probably better to seek the *objective* truth, but then, some people think we make our own realities anyway so me might as well believe what makes us happy. Maybe what's wanted is the will to find out whether we should have the will to find out or the will to believe..

How often do you buy a new smartphone? What are your reasons for buying a new smartphone?

ColorStorm:
I've only owned three smartphones. (The first one I didn't even ask for, but now I'm more or less hooked on them.) I don't remember my reason for buying the second one. Oh yeah, now I remember. I didn't buy it, somebody had left it at my mom's work and after a month or so she gave it to me. The screen was cracked and we got it repaired. We also got it unlocked so I could use it with Metro PCS. It was a Galaxy S4. The next one I bought because the Galaxy S4 had a serious bug where it would stop installing any new apps, saying it was out of memory, and it would keep saying that no matter how much memory I freed. I'd have to do a factory reset to get around it, but then it would come up again not too long afterward. Oh wait... no... the *first* Phone I had had that problem. It was an LG Optimus. The *second* phone I couldn't turn into a hotspot because that function was permanently disabled for any network other than AT&T. I tried a couple workarounds but none of them worked. *That* was my sole reason for upgrading to the third phone, which I have now, which is a Galaxy S6. I'm considering getting a new one lately just for 5G. But I'm not sure if 5G is safe. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/we-have-no-reason-to-believe-5g-is-safe/ Though if it's not, it may be that most of those unsafe radio waves aren't the ones that would be coming from my phone so they're there all around me whether I use 5G or not. Would be nice to know whether that's the case.

What are your thoughts on polyamory?

ColorStorm:
https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/

LaDamaX:
So when you have a family, how do you explain this to your children? It seems easy enough when it’s in your mind and there are no emotions tied to the thoughts.

ColorStorm:
children aren't born with some nuclear-family or serial-monogamy instinct, they'd grow up with it so they'd be used to it. no explanation would be necessary,

ColorStorm:
or if it is then i'd come up with one, like, well, sometimes a man or a woman loves more than one person at once and..

ColorStorm:
your question is the same kind of question homophobes ask about same-sex parents

ColorStorm:
(that sounded more offensive than i meant it;p)

LaDamaX:
I don’t have any problems with same-sex couples. I’m asking the question based on my own experiences as a child whose father had extramarital affairs.

LaDamaX:
It was extremely hurtful to me. If my parents had explained to me that they had had this sort of arrangement, I would not have been less hurt.

ColorStorm:
what if you had three or four parents? would that have hurt? anyway it only hurt because of society's moral predisposition against having affairs

ColorStorm:
but that moral predisposition is baseless, the only thing it has going for it is its popularity

ColorStorm:
/momentum

ColorStorm:
to be realistic, i suppose some children could be 'hurt' because of that existing societal moral disposition, but ideally, that disposition would be dissolved..

LaDamaX:
3-4 parents with a healthy relationship or a toxic one? I only had 2 with a pretty toxic one. I’m not sure adding more people to the mix would have made things

LaDamaX:
better. 🤷🏻‍♀️

LaDamaX:
I think we can agree here that it really doesn’t matter how many people are involved as long it is a healthy relationship.

LaDamaX:
*as it is

LaDamaX:
The polyamorous set up would definitely not work for me. I can’t realistically see sharing that much of myself to more than one person.

LaDamaX:
*with — at least not to the extent that I do with my husband and girls.

ColorStorm:
i guess some people are naturally serially monogamist and that's fine. (though it's hard to tell how much of that is natural and how much is cultural)

ColorStorm:
i'm not so much trying to say everyone should be polyamorous as trying to remove the stigma against 'cheating'

ColorStorm:
for those who do find themselves in love triangles

What's been the most absurd reason for you to have a comment deleted or account suspended by site moderators? https://i.imgur.com/aZCjr9r.jpg

ColorStorm:
Weird, I guess they didn't get the sarcasm. Idiots. I've never had a comment deleted/account suspended for a particularly absurd reason. It's rarely happened at all. The closest thing was I had my first Twitter account suspended forever because somebody hacked it and started posting spam. Then one day my phone blew up with messages that people were liking some post (which I never got to see, that I didn't make) on my SnapChat account, then my account was deleted. I still don't have a SnapChat account after that. That was a long time ago.

I had something strange like this happen once. I had a Yahoo account to sign up for websites that way my Gmail wouldn't get bombarded with spam. Apparently

You've been killed (sorry), what would you rather the police do, them to go through all of you and your friends and families private data or avoid that at the likely cost of them being unable to find your killer?

ColorStorm:
I'd opt not to, because I wouldn't want one of my friends or family members to be incriminated based on something else they find in their private data. Also I don't see how it would help since the killer wouldn't have been family or a friend. Also I'm kinda on the fence about whether we should punish people for crimes at all.

oh yeah, and (d) the killer would have done me a favor anyway. =p

You're in a horrible car crash. While in purgatory u are told that the only way for u to enter heaven is to possess Trump. U have 1 week to turn him into a nice person and get the country to love him or ur going to hell. What will be some of ur tactics? 😄

ColorStorm:
I'd feel uneasy about redeeming Trump, because after I'm done possessing him he'd presumably go back to his old self and then he'd be in an even greater position to screw America because everyone loves him. Maybe I would have even won him the election. But on the other hand, if it makes me go to heaven then perhaps I should have faith that it would be a good thing in the greater scheme of things. Also if heaven is eternal then my going to heaven would be more important than whatever negative things temporarily happen to planet Earth.. though I don't really think anything is eternal except life/existence itself.

There is a trend to attack firefighters, first aid rescuers, doctors and rescue team mebers. Why do you think this is trending?

ColorStorm:
Maybe the distrust in the system has gotten to such a crescendo that it even reaches government workers with only pure intentions. Or maybe our deep wounds where we feel like there's nobody in the world who would truly want to care for us or save us are coming to the surface to be healed. Or maybe those wounds were just created somehow. Or maybe you're talking about terrorist groups and they just want to hit us where it hurts, the most beloved members of society who are also easy targets. I don't know, I haven't heard of this trend, I'm guessing it's probably a German thing.

Hm, vinegar actually is the result of a process that you might call "garbage" as often the process of degrading and decaying bio stuff includes the bacterial

What do you say when a politician tells you that your ageing parents and grand parents are obsolete and may lose their lifes due to COVID19, but economy is more important?

I don't think increasing the spread of COVID by, for example, supporting the economy results in any more deaths than not doing it, because the same percentage of people are going to get infected in the end. If anything it's probably better that those old people get infected sooner rather than later when they're even older.

Kate:
Your assumption is based on the theory that younger people are not affected, doesn't it?

If you slow down the infection rate then there will just be different young people, people will be born later, to be susceptible to it when it gets around to it

ZouBisouBisou:
Would capitalism work better without copyright laws or patents?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. Copyright laws and patents give people incentive to put a lot of investment into things that are basically just information. That investment of course pays off for everybody more or less, and I'm not sure how the free market would get those things done (to the same degree of quality or whatever) without that incentive. (Take away copyright and patents, and obviously you take away the incentive to invest in information, art, and technology because dozens of other companies will rip off your investment so it's less likely it'll be worth it for you to invest as much in the first place.) On the other hand, things would ideally be more efficient if useful information and technology could be freely shared by everybody. Companies/agents that don't own the copyright or patent wouldn't have to spend money reinventing the wheel or coming up with their own stuff. But I think, nevertheless, in a capitalistic society the end result would be lower-quality software, art/music, and technologies because of in a paradigm of mutual selfism nobody would make monumental investments in those things just for the good of society. One way to have the best of both worlds--freedom of information, art and technology and colossal investments in those things--would be to have a higher level of socialism where the government is in charge of investing in those things, like pharmaceuticals, for example. That's the ideal solution IMO. In general things work better when a lot more money than usual goes to the government for it to support technology, infrastructure, etc. We're so stupid that currently the only way to effect such a situation is to waste tons of resources and lives by going to war. The paradox of wasting resources on a war greatly spurring the economy only shows how terribly inefficient things are *now*.

The Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch; I've adopted some of their comprehensively positive views on life.

The whole u don't vote, you don't get to complain. Never made sense to me. If I don't vote I have every right to complain. I didn't pick the candidates u did, you're responsible for the state of the world its all your fault... but as always I forgive u.😁

ColorStorm:
I think the saying is silly because the same outcome was going to happen whether you voted or not. There are many factors that contribute to the end result of who wins, and if those factors suck/need improvement then they're worthy of complaining about.

Do you find it easy to block/mute people on social media/apps? If so what does someone need to do/not do to earn a block? If not, what do you think would be the breaking point for someone to earn your coveted block/mute?

ColorStorm:
It's been like 15-20 years since I've blocked/muted anyone. I blocked a couple of girls on AIM because they were bitches. Actually, I've ignored people in IRC more recently than that because they were spamming some channel or another and making it impossible to keep up with the chat. That's the only thing I ignore (mute) people in IRC for, spamming. I just feel like blocking or muting people is too easy, it's a form of reality avoidance. If words can hurt me then I have some self-work to do and the perpetrators are gracious enough to provide me a context with which to do that. If I were a woman and had to deal with creepy or threatening guys online every day then maybe the story would be different, I dunno.

ChrisMartinez:
u ever think u would live in a world where u aren't allowed to work, or go out and eat? That's the fear I have with global warming. If they create a big enough threat they can take ur rights away. When do we get to enforced birth control?

ColorStorm:
Sigh. They're not "creating" the threat, they're *reacting* to it. If they take way our "right" to work or go out to eat, then it's because it's necessary. *Nobody* gains from enforcing such things, and it would never be a popular enough idea to be able to happen unless most people realized it's necessary, so it's not like they're just out to take away your rights. You should be more concerned about the severely threatened future of the earth than the convenience of your lifestyle. Though of all the things they may do that you won't like, taking away your right to work or your right to go out and eat seem like rather obscure concerns. The concerns are probably the result of fear-mongering, though the things they actually may enforce may be just as limiting if not more so. Dunno if enforced birth control will ever be necessary, or if they'd go so far as to implement it even if it *were* necessary (it may be too unpopular), but IMO it'd be a great thing even now.

ChrisMartinez:
Perhaps capitalizing on a threat is a bigger idea. If we take green energy. It's a business now.

ChrisMartinez:
Then u have to plug in ur car, into an aging power grid. That uses fossil fuels to run.

green energy is only a business because the matter of global warming is so pressing, if it weren't for global warming green energy wouldn't be a thing because

ColorStorm:
it's difficult to produce than regular energy, naturally, since what makes it green is that extra restrictions/requirements are placed on it

My first thought was cute girls, but I'm not sure it would be psychically healthy to have an intimate experience with something mechanical/computer-generated.. tricking yourself into thinking you're sharing with someone when you're not. On the other hand, I don't mind when there are girls in my dreams, and they're not real. But I guess that's different. They're still a part of *life*, and it's still completely natural.

ColorStorm:
Idc if he likes girls, it's natural. Society these days is all about oppressing men's desires to touch and be close to women, like it's some kind of horrendous imposition. And even if it does mean he's pervert, nobody's perfect, and it has zero implication regarding his ability to lead the state.

If a man is showing affection is such a way he needs to be punished immediately, a man who is doing that, like Biden, is not right in the head.

that are taboo--whether they should be or not. You're not seeing the bigger picture, you keep looking at this issue from the lens of isolational and repressed

ColorStorm:
culture. And Biden didn't 'rub against' her in hte video, that I saw.

ColorStorm:
as for knowing whether she'd be okay with it, you can't know until you try. trying to have a conversation about it first is inappropriate because it's beyond

awkward.

You need a new mankind to make it okay then. It won't be possible. How do you want to find out without asking if she is okay with that?

ColorStorm:
entirely understandable either way--society makes men creepy.

It shouldn't be seen as creepy, imo.

it's the very repression i'm talking about that makes someone like Biden creepy--assuming he's actually creepy.

well, even if i'm wrong that probably won't be the case because i don't actually do the things myself that we're talking about, like what biden does

also, it's very possible that it makes girls uncomfortable, and even possible that he shouldn't do it for that reason, while being simultaneously true that he's

Family loses three children in a car accident but one year later, the mother gives birth to triplets. It is true. What would you call that? A miracle? Crazy coincidence? Something else?

ColorStorm:
It could be a mere coincidence--there are so many people on Earth and so many events that something "like this" (whatever "like this" means) is bound to happen, one could reason. On the other hand, you have to consider the likelihood that you would have heard of a coincidence of that level, the likelihood of all the other coincidences that happen, etc. And there's no way to quantify those things formally/objectively. Whether or not it happens to be within the parameters of likely coincidence, it *could* have been her three children reincarnated, or some other form of cosmic grace giving her back what she lost. The worldview of those who assume that it *can only* have been a mere meaningless coincidence is so fundamentally broken that they can barely even live and breathe under such a flattened, dismal, nonliving mentality.

Andy:
So... who do you think is going to win? (Re: 2020 Presidency)

ColorStorm:
No idea. Biden is still leading by 14 points, but people are saying Trump will probably win certain key states which will allow him to win the election. Some of the states are apparently nose-to-nose. I guess it'll take a couple of days before we know. But it seems that there's a very real and terrible possibility that, even if Trump rightly loses, he'll steal the election, so maybe the question isn't so much whether Trump will "win," but *how* he'll win--legitimately or illegitimately--and whether there'll be an ensuing civil war.

Have you ever seen Life begin ? like childbirth ?

ColorStorm:
That's not when life begins, but yeah, if seeing it in a video counts.

Templar:
True perhaps life begins at conception

ColorStorm:
Or maybe before!

Templar:
Interesting..can you tell me more?

ColorStorm:
Reincarnation, etc. Or maybe there is only one life, and each new being partakes of it.. or maybe we're made up of the energies of our parents..

ColorStorm:
My guess, based on the things I've read, is reincarnation

ColorStorm:
interesting tidbit: I just read recently that just before you incarnate you go down a long corridor/whatever it is just like after you die

Templar:
interesting , but reincarnation might not explain the first life of the particular person

ColorStorm:
maybe new souls are created somehow, and then some of them reincarnate a bunch of times

Templar:
I think reincarnation gives me problems as to why would we reincarnate ?

ColorStorm:
i'm not sure, i think the drama of earthly life is tempting, and so are the pleasures of the flesh.. or/also, because after every life we have unfinished

ColorStorm:
business with others (karma) so we have to come back to set it straight, and then in the process we incur more karma.. and/or because, i believe carnal life is

ColorStorm:
the only context in which we can work on/significantly change ourselves, so we're always looking to balance ourselves out, but every time we come back to

ColorStorm:
balance a specific thing out other things become imbalanced by circumstances

ColorStorm:
also, i suspect the same forces that work to make the world a miserable place to sap off of the energy convince us to reincarnate, or maybe force us

Templar:
You see the math doesn't give that credence, if we reincarnated since man beginning we should be the perfect human 10000 times over and as we know that's

Templar:
not the case. Even in Early man 6000 years ago , Is this where reincarnation started ?

Templar:
It seems to be a modern concept, I just can't buy it

ColorStorm:
yeah, you'd think we'd have had enough time to become decent human beings. maybe it's because we start over a lot, or maybe (as i've heard) the process is just

ColorStorm:
really slow, or maybe it's something about living as a human body that makes it very difficult for the virtues of the soul to override the crappiness of the

ColorStorm:
physical

Templar:
But at what stahe of man's evolution did reincarnation start ? and why did it start ?

ColorStorm:
i don't know, maybe it's been around for as long as animals have been around.

Templar:
You can see why I have doubts

ColorStorm:
or maybe it started organically and gradually when man first became intelligent, maybe it's like asking, when did and how did humans start in the timeline of

ColorStorm:
evolution

Templar:
Thats what I mean. The theory of reincarnaation has 'no meat on the bones' for me.. It has become improbably

Does the fact that the election is soo close show that more ppl like Trump than u thought or does it show the weakness of Biden as a candidate?

ColorStorm:
I didn't really know what the ratios were gonna be, but I'm surprised in general, and very disappointed, by how many people like Trump, have been for 5 years. But I think part of it is the weakness of Biden as a candidate. Or maybe not.. Bernie was a strong candidate, and Biden (supposedly) overtook him. I guess you need a centrist (or at least not a self-proclaimed socialist) to get the undecideds, and the die-hard Democrats are going to vote for *whoever's* the nominee, so that makes Biden a "strong" candidate.

ChrisMartinez:
It's also the democrats manipulating their primaries. Telling certain candidates to drop out

ChrisMartinez:
giving their votes to Biden plus Elizabeth Warren staying in draining votes from sanders

When u go to sleep do u shut your phone off?

ColorStorm:
Not usually. I used to keep it off all the time except when I'd go out, to conserve the battery, so I wouldn't have to remember to charge it every day, but then I started just keeping it on the charger all the time (though I'm not sure if that's good for the battery, though I think it might be okay for modern phones). But I DID turn it off to go to sleep the other night (and it's still off), because unlike most nights, I turned my lights off and I wanted complete darkness because I heard it's good for you to sleep in (releases a certain neurotransmitter.. tryp-something I think) and my phone's power light would constantly blink blue and in the darkness I could see it light up half my room. =P

ChrisMartinez:
I put a pillow over mine to block the power light😜 i also leave it on the charger most if the time.. I shut my phone off now and then

You might hve to tke this up with Einstein as he' is the one who made this remarkable statement about conscousness and computers.

Is it wrong to pocket a couple of leftover crab rangoons at the buffet?

ColorStorm:
It depends. If you got them because you thought you were going to eat them at the restaurant, and then you take them home instead of letting the restaurant throw them way, then the restaurant doesn't lose anything. If you put more food on your plate than you would have with the knowledge that you can just pocket and take home whatever you don't eat, then you're stealing from the restaurant. They price their buffets with the expectation that you'll only be taking as much as you can eat while in the restaurant. Either way, though, it's minor. It's just slightly wrong, IMO. Besides, the restaurant probably anticipates that a few people will break the rules and take some home.

Wieselmann:
Should scientists and engineers be held accountable for the deaths of the weapons they created?

ColorStorm:
What do you mean by held accountable? Do you mean legally? If so, that wouldn't make any sense because society obviously sanctions those deaths or they wouldn't happen. The President, congress, military (or particular military henchmen), and public (or prime minister, parliament, military, and public, or whatever one's country has) aren't held accountable for those deaths, and they're all complicit to some degree of directness or another. If you mean socially accountable in some way, the above kinda still applies, except that it is actually possible for some hearts to hold accountable *all* of those people/institutions. So... should they? I think scientists are responsible to a degree, but it's not like they're fully responsible for the sum total of all the deaths as if they'd killed them with their own hands. Also, some scientists believe they're doing the right thing when they create weapons (see http://www.doug-long.com/einstein.htm , for example), and even if they're ultimately wrong, intentions matter a lot, or *should* matter. If the scientists are just doing it for money, then, well, there's probably no need to hold them accountable because fate will do its work, and also because they're probably not aware enough human beings to fully realize what they're doing. Though this raises a question, (again), what does it mean to hold accountable? Does it mean to judge and condemn? If it's not a legal measure (which I've already argued against), then it can't be punishment, so it must be judgment and condemnation, n'est pas? And I don't believe in condemnation. *Everybody* deserves support, in whatever form that may take--even if it means a good talking to.

ColorStorm:
(I guess giving someone a good talking-to could be a way of "holding them accountable.")

ColorStorm:
I never really saw either camp as smug, just having a lot of conviction and scared that the other side winning means the demise of America. I think trump supporters have more conviction, but Biden supporters have more clarity and wherewithall about their opinions which counts for something. Probably whoever has the strongest side/the highground in debates will *appear* smug just because they have the luxury of being right, rather than just being full of crude, stupid passion/hot air, lies and misapprehensions, which is why Democrats have the reputation of being smug.

It's just the result of the free market, people don't get paid what they "deserve" (however one might measure that) in general, and life isn't remotely fair and never has been, so why start with professional athletes? It's not important to me. It may not be ideal, but there are far worse injustices to worry about. And some might argue that what you get within the free market is necessarily moral, or at least amoral. They make that much because that's what people feel like paying them for their entertainment, so..

People blocking each other left and right means less activity in general, which means (a) less for me to read, and (b) less personal growth for all involved. Liberally blocking and ignoring people online is not very far off from denialism.

Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals.? Are they ?

ColorStorm:
I disagree with the premise. Religion doesn't give wisdom. Well, maybe some wisdom, interlaced with harmful dogma. Well.. some religions are more harmful than others. Abrahamic religions are the worst that I know of. But as for whether they're rivals, some religions make a lot of anti-scientific claims, for example, creationism. I'd say a much better source of wisdom than religion is spirituality. Spirituality and science tend to be rivals, but not because science disproves spirituality--just because scientists tend to be materialists. Also I disagree with the notion that wisdom is control. A lot of forms of control are rather petty, and we humans are obsessed with it. And what of the wisdom in surrendering control? Also, I think power and control are basically synonymous.

Thank you for your view. It is always welcome

I wrote more about it here: https://myriachromat.wpcomstaging.com/2018/04/20/the-purpose-of-a-dream-isnt-to-be-interpreted/ As for nightmares, I'm not sure why our minds/the cosmos is so mean/sadistic to us, but I suspect that it raises the bar of facing difficult situations for us so that we're prepared to face things we have to deal with IRL and do them.

What do you think is the reason behind pain aside the nervous system? Philosophy/esoteric speaking ?

ColorStorm:
I believe the main purpose of pain is something science completely overlooks--it's not just to notify you that your body is damaged or being damaged so that you can avoid further damage or be deterred from incurring future damage.. it's mainly to get you to *focus* on the part of your body that's damaged with intent to make the pain go away (which translates to intent to heal it). I've heard of experiments that showed that people can affect a random part of their body in a measurable way just by focusing on it. This is the only way to explain why we can feel pain in parts of our body that we have no physical control over and why it can be so intense.

Does a movie's rotten tomatoes score affect your willingness to watch it?

ColorStorm:
Not really, I find there's little correlation between how much movie critics like a movie and how good it actually is (or, at least, how much I'd like it). The user scores might be a better indication, but there's really no point in my using those either since I can tell 100 times better whether I'll like a movie just by watching a trailer.

ColorStorm:
Apparently, the highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes is Paddington Bear (or was it Paddington Bear 2?), and it was just okay... one particular weakness I

noticed in it was that there wasn't a single actor who was excellently cast/indispensable to the film; every single actor could have been easily replaced by

Video games are surprisingly cheap for what you're getting (you have the advantage of a large population of people all buying the same software), so I have no problem with a $70 or $80 video game.

How racist is this commercial in your opinion from 1 (Not at all) to 10 ( I will boycott Sony now forever.)? https://www.flickr.com/photos/rkk/173876127

ColorStorm:
At first I thought they were just promoting a new color of the console and happened to use people of the respective colors to do it, not realizing how racist it would seem, i.e. it could have just as easily have been a black woman squeezing a white man's face, and that people were reading racism into it because that's what people do.. I thought this because being racist is such a PR disaster that there's no way they would have done it on purpose. But then I realized I was being naive--I think they made it racist on purpose to stir up a big controversy (in the spirit of 'there's no such thing as bad publicity')

What's the last thing you ordered on Amazon? https://i.imgur.com/wBs3igd.jpg

ColorStorm:
I don't know, the last buncha things I ordered from there were Christmas gifts. I don't remember what the last thing I actually ordered for me was. The last thing that comes to mind, which probably isn't the last thing, is this: https://www.amazon.com/Huffy-Kids-Trike-Ages-8/dp/B07ZXTC1R4 It's for kids, but the reviews were saying it works fine for adults. It cost $300-something. I wanted it because it's supposed to be able to drift, and I love drifting. I've never actually drifted in a real vehicle. (But I've drifted my RC cars that go 40+ mph.) Anyway, it wouldn't go anywhere near the 10 or so mph that it was supposed to be able to, and I couldn't get it to drift. I guess it's because of my weight, I'm not sure. Either way I sent it back for a refund. :P We were thinking of giving it away to someone or another, but I didn't want to because it can be dangerous--according to reviews it rolls easily, and that's a heavy thing to roll over onto a kid. And if something happened to them it would be my fault. So I just returned it.

Nature is our source, our roots. If we weren't so disconnected from nature (for thousands of years now), we wouldn't be having these fundamental problems that are leading to society's (and the whole ecosphere's) collapse. We'd be satisfied and not constantly seeking something elsewhere which subsequently leads us to consumerism and industry..

ColorStorm:
Yeah, why would they? Could it be possible that it's because... it's not flawed, and if we don't do something about the problem soon we're all doomed? I mean if you were a scientist this is probably what you'd think. Though, to be honest, global warming is just a small part of the problem. We're poisoning the ecosphere with our chemicals, plastic and clothing, burying it in trash, polluting the water, ground and air, destroying natural habitat at alarming rates (for example, between 30 and 35 percent of ocean wilderness has been destroyed, and about 50% of the rainforests have been destroyed) , and depleting and even extincting natural populations due to poaching, over-hunting/fishing, and the aforementioned assaults on our environment. All it takes is a perfunctory amount of study to see that we're living totally unsustainably and have to do something about it quick. Global warming is just the idea related to this that the masses have attached to and got onboard with. The flaw in this, besides how much wholesale destruction it overlooks, is that it focuses solely on problems that will occur in the future rather than the tragedy/crisis that's happening *right now*.

ChrisMartinez:
There are scientists that found soil samples dating back to the jurassic period with as high or higher carbon dioxide levels than even now

ChrisMartinez:
More study is needed. If we can even stop this or not

That was a long time ago, calamities happen now and then, and there could have been a mass extinction at that time too. Besides, like I said global warming is

Is it right to sensor any unsubstantiated claims that the COVID-19 vaccine is dangerous or otherwise harmful?

ColorStorm:
I don't think the government should do it--freedom of speech and all--but some online platforms seem to be working these days to censor or otherwise vitiate posts that are fake news and are somehow detrimental to society, and I don't take an issue with that. (To be clear, I do think the law should require news agencies to tell the truth--like they did before Reagan. But some individual claiming a vaccine is harmful is not a news agency.) By the way, I think every vaccine in existence is dangerous--just ask Trish, or read the vaccine's long list of possible side effects in the insert--so such a claim would automatically not be so unsubstantiated. =P

Andy:

What are your thoughts on 'honorary degrees'? (Academic qualifications given to someone who hasn't studied in the field but has had some related practical accomplishments).

ColorStorm:
They degrade the meaning of degrees overall when they give them out for no reason other than that somebody is a celebrity. The celebrity has enough already, they don't need a title that most people have to work hard for. They're OK/less bad when they're given out for someone for some kind of scientific achievement, or I guess achievement in whatever field, at least if it indicates a wealth of knowledge in the field.

Andy:
Agreed, recognition of achievement is important. But a degree/qualification signifies academic rigger and evidences you've gone through a syllabus.

Could their be circumstances under which recreational slaughter of fellow human beings is morally justified?

ColorStorm:
I suppose. If every second of every human's existence was causing untold suffering in the universe for some reason, then.. It's hard to imagine how such a state could come about, but I suppose it's possible. Or what if humans started traveling around the galaxy and plundering worlds with peaceful living beings in them for their resources or maybe colonizing them. We'd be an evil force in the universe and stopping us, even a few of us, would be moral. Or you could argue that the situation is that bad already on our own world given our treatment of it. That we're destroying many, many species, and if you think about it almost everyone is an accomplice. Even the people recreationally killing others are accomplices, but it's still moral because the more people die, the less destruction of the environment there is.

It doesn't really matter whether they're grown for that purpose or not, and it's not just about their short life, it's the fact that you get to watch them die slowly... it's so bleak and depressing, and I hate when things degenerate ever so slightly and subtly... and the plant is constantly doing that, too slowly to perceive, until you finally decide that's enough and throw it away. And not to mention that plants are living beings and it's mean to kill them, especially for entertainment. But, on the plus side, if someone gives me flowers it's a nice sentiment.

Imagine two males. They're friends. One of them has pain in his balls, the other started having pain in his balls shortly after. Would their balls be spirituality connected?

ColorStorm:
Not necessarily. They could have done some activity together that affected their balls. Or if they hung around together they could have been exposed to the same chemical or something. If it's a spiritual connection, it's probably that the two males are connected overall, not just their balls, but as a couple they just happened to develop some issue in that part of the body. Or, it could have just been a coincidence. To determine that it would be relevant how far apart in time the pains were. It would also be relevant if the causes of the pains were the same or different if they got diagnosed by a doctor.

Do you usally think about the earth or the universe when someone says "world"?

ColorStorm:
To me, "world" technically means the earth and nothing else (though, now that I think of it, I've never looked it up). But I know that it can sometimes be used to mean the *entire* environment including all the universe. It's possible that I actually think something in between.. like I think of the general, huge place we live in without thinking specifically of the boundaries of the earth and without extending it nearly outward to the whole universe.

I do remember other sources, like the actual airliner pilots saying that it would be totally impossible to control a going at that speed at that altitude. And then there's the fact that the Pentagon damage was just a very narrow hole with no airplane debris in sight. And you can't put such a false flag operation past the government, after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods . I'd say the likelihood is somewhere between 30% and 95%. =P

..if he's letting them in then they're not illegals..? Do you have data to support the implication that criminals occur in immigrants in larger percentages than in people already living here? And what percentage of immigrants actually get jobs? Some say they're willing to do the hard work for cheap that other, lazy Americans aren't..

ChrisMartinez:
The act of crossing the border illegally is criminal.

Also if he instantly makes them legal they're entitled to our labor laws meaning they can't work cheap they have the rights .

If you include body language, intonation, etc. in communication? It's also possibly appearance, clothes, voice, aura, etc. And online in text it's almost entirely communication. When I say "communication" I don't necessarily mean between me and them--usually it's a one-way thing, I just see their public content..

arman:
[Inspired by the HBO TV series "Silicon Valley"] Would you do wrong in the service of rightness? Could you be unethical in the defense of ethics? Could you be unjust in the quest for justice?

ColorStorm:
This seems like a self-contradiction to me. If the wrong is in the service of rightness, if the ends *truly do* justify the means, then the "wrong" isn't wrong at all; it's right. And the "unethical" isn't unethical at all, it's ethical. The only reason people would think they're doing something "wrong" for the sake of rightness is because aren't very intelligent and fail to think fully contextually. They just think in terms of certain types of actions being categorically wrong or right. So the answer is, yes. Being unjust in the quest for justice is a bit different, it seems. I think you *can* do something unjust for the sake of justness. If you kill an innocent person for the greater good, for example (and by the way, this is just an example--I'm not sure I'm actually a utilitarian), then it remains unjust for the killed individual. And it might break my heart to do an injustice for the sake of justice. I'm not even sure if that's possible, on second thought.. not because the just ends causes the means to be just, but because the unjust means causes the ends to be unjust. Not because utilitarianism is illegitimate, but because "justice" is the wrong word here. It's hard to think of an example where an injustice could serve a greater justice--that would be really reaching/an unlikely scenario--but it's easy to think of a case where an injustice could serve the greater good, utilitarianistically speaking. But something being in service to the greater good doesn't necessarily imply being an instance of justice, per se, imo. Justice is more about balance, or, as Rachel Dawes put it, harmony.

arman:
Silly me! It didn't occur to me that my question is just some paraphrase of "ends justifying the means".

It's that time of year again - where does everybody come down on candy corn, yea or nay? Or, just give me your favorite controversial candy-related opinion, I will tell you if you are wrong.

Reese's peanut butter cups just taste like chemicals and salt. They're nasty. Milk chocolate tastes like cheap chemicals too.

candy corn is okay if it's just lying around but i wouldn't buy it myself.. actually i had a special flavor of candy corn once that was delicious, but i don't

remember what it was. maybe maple or caramel.

I'm sorry the correct opinion is Reese's PB is good, but the judges accept criticism of milk chocolate - split decision 😛

What do you love most about your mother, your father, your youngest brother or sister and about your best friend?

ColorStorm:
- mother - she's usually/often cheery/in high spirits and she shares that and her humor with me even though i'm boring =p - father - when he's not being a nasty, callous asshole, he's very sensitive in his own way. he often does what I really want even when I don't say it, and even when I say something opposite to what I want. - youngest sister - she's very intuitive and entertaining. she's very her. when she was little she'd slide down the slide at the playground and then immediately pose, like "Ta daaaa!", it was adorable. - best friend - his whimsical, creative silliness. nobody is silly exactly like he is, and it's perfect. of course, I have to say that with each of these people what I actually love most about them isn't precisely the traits I mentioned but is simply their essences, which are simple yet totally unique and can't be put into words.

Say you were in a loving relationship, and the doctor told you that your soon to be baby had a very high chance that they would be born with a serious mental and physical defect. Would you keep it? What if your partner had the different opinion?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't want to, because it would make both our lives a pain in the ass and might even makes us more unhappy than happy for the rest of our lives. Or at least me. And the value to the child is questionable.. could they ever live a fulfilling life? Is there inherent shame in living a life where you're constantly dependent on others to take care of you? Wouldn't he live on in the afterlife anyway if he were aborted, and isn't the afterlife a better place? If my partner wanted to keep the child, I mean, I would tell her why I don't want to, and I might even moan about it, but at the end of the day it would be her choice. I'm not gonna be the bad guy and demand that we kill a fetus. And it's her body anyway so it's her choice.

"An anti-gay Hungarian politician has resigned after being caught by the police fleeing a 25-man orgy through a window" What are your thoughts here?

ColorStorm:
He harms people by sexually oppressing them by being anti-gay, and he does it solely for popularity, apparently, since he's apparently gay or bi himself. He's hypocritical and corrupt. He doesn't give a shit about the people as long as he get what he wants. On the other hand, it's probably that if his stance weren't anti-gay as a politician then someone else would have taken his place, in which case there's effectively no harm done. Also, it's possible that he's not on good terms with his own sexuality. Maybe he hates himself for being gay, which would make his being anti-gay more consistent with his values.

I have another rich cousin who works as an air traffic controller for the USAF. I have a rich aunt who programmed in COBOL and retired early. I have another aunt who was the accountant for her city. My dad has had many jobs, including restaurant owner, firefighter, paramedic, and Air Rescue pilot. Probably the coolest is my late grandfather though, if late people count. He was an electronic engineer who designed several rides at Disney World, the radar system for the F16, and some of the command module for the Apollo rocket series.

But why, why might the government want to shut us down? As i tried to explain to that crazy Asian. There are a few theories. Curfew, control, taxes. Or federal aid

ColorStorm:
The government is just as interested in a strong economy as the corporations are (the people who get (more) rich off it). Even more so because the government is in bed with the corporations. It's not rational to think the government would devise a hoax to shut everything down, that's against all of their interests and just provides huge difficulties. It's because of the virus. Contrary to conspiracy theorists' beliefs, the government doesn't seek control over the masses for no reason other than the sake of control. There's always a reason, something they see (accurately or inaccurately) as a net gain for society. Why wouldn't they want to shut us down when virus is killing one 9/11 worth of people every day? Or if you think that's a hoax, who are the people literally filling up the hospitals right now so that there's no more room, even for patients in critical condition?

ChrisMartinez:
I think its real. But I think the government is taking the opportunity

ChrisMartinez:
To pass things they normally couldn't. We're already hearing about fines ..

ChrisMartinez:
for not wearing masks, We're getting curfews in places Philadelphia is allowing crime get out of hand to receive federal aid

ChrisMartinez:
They'll reopen the economy when Biden is firmly in place to take credit for it

so they're simultaneously instating curfews just to keep things under control, AND (elsewhere) purposely letting crime get out of hand? It seems like you have

In the 1980's AIDS killed millions of ppl world-wide. Sex was legal you have to give ppl personal responsibility.

the freedom to avoid the virus.

So it's not quite like sex, which is a choice.

i guess you could say they're trying to shut it down and not even give us welfare, but still, the people who are dying aren't mostly the people who are choosing

When was the last time someone stole something from you, and did you get revenge, tell me the sweet spots ?

ColorStorm:
A long time ago I left my drawer full of legos outside my cousin's house, hidden in the bushes.. I couldn't take it in, I don't remember why. Anyway this girl around the neighborhood Vivian stole them. She was hot and I figured she owed me something, so I wanted to have sex with her...never happened of course, I was too shy to talk to her. Tbt that wasn't the last time someone stole something from me. I think my sister's ex (the father of my niece) stole $1000 from me, it went missing and we know he's stolen other things from this house including money, but that's not an interesting story. I didn't get revenge. (I never really wanted revenge, though my money back would've been good)

Speaking of shit, when in a relationship is it appropriate to shit in front of eachother? 😄

Appropriate? I don't think it's appropriate or inappropriate. It just depends on the preferences of the couple. Some might be turned off by it. I would feel self-conscious doing that, and even if I didn't I wouldn't dare it because I wouldn't be sure how it might affect my partner's perception of me. As for the other way around, I don't think I'd mind *seeing* my partner taking a sh\*t, but the smell would definitely turn me off. And I'm not even sure how long that turned-off-ness would last. Some people are a lot more comfortable with bodily functions, though.

How many good friends did you lose throughout your life? What were the reasons for the end of these friendships?

ColorStorm:
Hmm, lemme think. I had a good girl friend named Lital, we fell out of touch, probably when the BBSs died. I had a good friend named Sahar, we fell out of touch, probably when the BBSs died. I had a good friend (or at least, someone who was really neat and amazingly awesome looking and we talked a lot) named Sarah, and then I had a psychotic episode and said some awkward spiel to on her FB page and that was that. To be fair, we had kinda fell out of touch before that. I also lost a good named Christine (a former girlfriend of another good friend of mine--she once said our meeting each other was a cosmic glitch), that I lost probably by saying stupid stuff during my psychotic episode. Then there was Rey, the former boyfriend of Christine, we just grew apart (maybe when the BBSs died?), but not totally, we still send emails to each other once in a blue moon. And I lost my best friend, Mike, partly by saying stupid stuff during my psychosis, but I got him back 10 years later.. but it's never been the same, he doesn't message me every day like he used to. And I haven't seen him in person since we became friends again. Oh, the other part of why I'd lost him 10 years ago was that he didn't like that I started receiving SSI and thought I was taking advantage of hardworking people's tax money. He didn't really understand that I couldn't work. I explained that to him 10 years later (along with explaining that I had psychosis and went to the hospital and apologizing, more or less). I may have lost more good friends but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

ColorStorm:
(I lost a lot more friends than I listed when the BBS era ended, but they weren't necessarily "good" friends.)

oh, oops, it wasn't 10 years later that i won my friend mike back, it was 6 years later, I think.

ColorStorm:
Tough call. Could be my porn collection, the essays I've written, the source code I've written, my music collection, my shirt collection and a couple of my pants.. or if people count it would be my mom.

When was the last time someone complimented you and you felt they meant it?

ColorStorm:
I always feel like people meant it when they compliment me. The last time was just a few hours ago, in this thread: https://www.facebook.com/groups/221619448295256/permalink/1120247268432465/?comment_id=1120524315071427 . I wrote something smart-sounding and he said I really knew my stuff. I said I didn't really know much about the subject, just an overview, enough to make speculate intelligently a little on it. He said I'm clearly intelligent and express myself with eloquence and pragmatism.

Would the world be a better place if nobody had property and everyone would share everything?

ColorStorm:
Yes, but culture/common mindset would have to be very different. For those who said it can't work, it's worked before..

ColorStorm:
I've read that if everyone shared everything there'd be one seventh or one tenth or something as much labor to do.

Wasserpistole:
What does it feel like to love family and friends for you? I was born with almost no love inside my heart and I don't love anyone. What does it feel like for you? What am I missing?

ColorStorm:
It varies from person to person. I mean, it varies for me how love feels from person to person whom I love. For some, it's like a kind of admiration plus excitement/fun just observing their existence/expression. For some, it's like their essence/core of their personality has a place very deep in your heart, which will be there for a long, long time. And your love for them is like the culmination of all the moments of fun and sorrow you've ever had with or about them. You would do hardly imaginable things for them if it were to become necessary. For some, it's like you can see their fundamental, soul goodness—the endless effort and sacrifices they would make and have made for others, including yourself, and the feeling is a combination of unlimited adoration and sorrow, sorrow for the fact that they have to live such a dreary life on this planet, and for the precariousness of their existence that everyone shares. For some, it's like you just *recognize them*, like you've known them forever, before this life, and you like what you see. You can just tell you're so compatible (I don't necessarily mean romantically). They're a great mirror to reflect yourself off of and you to them. For some, they remind you (not with inspirational messages, rather just by being them) of certain important aspects of reality/life. And there are probably many more ways to love, depending not only on the beloved but on the lover. All I have to draw on is myself and the limited number of people I happen to love.

Wasserpistole:
My grandmother died a little over 1 year ago and I was the only one who never cried, who never felt sad. Also I never missed one of my family members. Doesn't

Wasserpistole:
matter how long I don't have contact with him or her or who it is, mother, brothers, sisters. I never missed them. For me they are just human beings who deserve

Wasserpistole:
respect and a life without punishmend and suffering and I try my best to be nice and friendly but there is no love.

Wasserpistole:
Only my brothers know about that and I told them never to tell our mother.

ColorStorm:
Love is a curse, too. It's horrible when a loved one dies or is in danger or has a terrible affliction or whatever.

ColorStorm:
Or when they don't love you back 🤣

ColorStorm:
Oh, it just occurred to me, the unlimited adoration and sorrow I mentioned isn't just because of the reasons I mentioned above, but also, maybe even mainly,

ColorStorm:
because the person does all this without knowledge of their own value.

Wasserpistole:
And you were born with it. I once read in a spiritual scripture, that a person that was born with a small thymus gland isn't able to feel much love.

Wasserpistole:
Would be interesting for me to compare my gland with yours and others.

ColorStorm:
Hmm, i agree, that would be interesting

ChrisMartinez:
we have 14.8 million cases of covid in the US. 280,000 dead. awful and it is but that's only a little over a 1.5% death rate. That's nothing. U can step off a curb and are more likely to die. relax its not Armageddon 😆

ColorStorm:
It may not sound like a lot when you consider it as a percentage, but 280,000 is a lot of deaths. Especially when they're preventable. We're having 3/4ths of a 9/11 every day. Way more people dying of covid than die stepping off curbs.

ChrisMartinez:
It is alot of deaths and it is bad. But the state government is overreacting in some places. Just urge ppl to wear masks but don't treat ppl like children.

ChrisMartinez:
Not to mention total lockdowns haven't worked in other countries either.

ColorStorm:
People who refuse to wear a mask need to be treated like children. 😂

ChrisMartinez:
But even that i never understood. If I wear a mask and you do as well what do we care if those dopes don't wear one?

ChrisMartinez:
If they want to chance it. That's their business

ColorStorm:
because wearing masks is more for other people than for yourself

ColorStorm:
in case you have the virus but are asymptomatic, you won't spread it to other people when you talk, breathe, sneeze, etc.

ChrisMartinez:
I mean that true but they'll only pass it on to another idiot not wearing a mask? Plus they're not 100% effective unless u have that N95 one

ChrisMartinez:
Small bits of viruses still get through

ChrisMartinez:
The thing that turns me off isn't the mask. Or even a mandate to wear a mask its the lockdown. Shutting ppls businesses down. Its too extreme

ChrisMartinez:
Especially for a virus thats fairly treatable at this point

AJS:
Cloth masks are worthless, inhibit breathing and trap stuff your body needs to get rid of. Government and stores have no right to require masks.

AJS:
Look at what virologists wear to actually protect themselves and then realize how worthless everyone's stupid, little masks are.

AJS:
"Asymptomatic" means healthy. Healthy people can't spread something they don't have. Healthy people aren't spreading the fake virus.

Our government barely has done any of that though lol

ChrisMartinez:
Our government taxes the shit out of us and blows ppl up with that money 😆

ColorStorm:
you have nothing to compare it to. life without government would be abysmal. or, at best, tribal.

ChrisMartinez:
The most ideal government imo is as small as possible and as transparent as possible. Unfortunately nearly no government is.

ColorStorm:
i used to think the ideal government was as small as possible, that's why i registered as a republican when i was 18. i've since changed my mind though.

ColorStorm:
i agree with the transparency part 100%

Yeah i registered as a republican too as a young person. But I also learned both sides have dark sides.

What does it mean to be a person? Is a newborn baby a person?

ColorStorm:
Depends on whether you're going for a technical definition, a legal definition, or a more poetic (for lack of a better word) definition. The technical and legal definitions are simple enough. The latter, well.. idk, let's see what the dictionary has to say. They just cover the technical and legal meanings. I guess a person, in the only sense in which it's even questionable whether a newborn or a human with dementia is a person, is a human with all the aspects of mind that normally come with a human. Personality, memories, desires, preferences, predilections, fears, beliefs, values, morals, principles, ethics, psyche, consciousness, relatability, etc. etc. You don't have to have all of those things to be a person, but some of them you do/maybe the fewer of those you have, the less of a person you are. Relatability is a major one, which kind of subsumes most of the other ones.

Andy:
Why do you think homophobia happened?

ColorStorm:
Sexuality runs deep in humans, and the flipside of being excited by it is being disgusted by it when somebody expresses sexuality in a way that seems perverted to you. People can only understand others by putting themselves in their shoes, and males can can only imagine the depths of degeneracy they would have to fall to to have sex with another male, so they think the homosexual did the same, though they did not. They were just born oriented differently. Then this homophobia became cemented in religion (what is religion based on other than popular morality), thus making it stronger in religious males and allowing it to be carried over to females through indoctrination.

A Muslim who believes 100% in Islam is devastated by the thought that a beloved person who just died without islam will go to hell, 110% (According to the Religion). What would you tell that person?

ColorStorm:
I doubt there's anything you can do to help that person, because virtually nothing you can say will change his/her mind, unless you can support it with verses from the Koran. For example, if he were a Christian, you could point out that the translation for the word used to describe hell as being eternal could also be taken to be "a very long time." Not sure if there's anything similar for Islam.

In the year 2120 this may become a valid argument but not today. Trust me, I know.

why don't Americans just comply. shut everything down. there is no data that works. Countries that have shut everything down still have outbreaks. it's not allowed.. As an adult u assume risks in life. Freedom is more important in the long run..

The economy is raping the planet with exponentially increasing intensity anyway, temporarily shutting down the economy in the third-most environment-ravaging country is the least that can be done.

So American ppl, children who have nothing to do with "raping the planet" should starve and die as punishment?

i saw a little girl on tv look like she's about to throw up her food or maybe like she's choking or something, then after a couple of tiny thrusts she says, "I'm OK!" I just love when children seem like they might be in danger for a second then they say "I'm OK!!" It's so pure. Like they love and know that they're loved, and they're not yet programmed to think that love has to be selfless or non-self-promoting or whatever. idk.

ColorStorm:
or maybe it's more that the child knows how to love themselves and others at once. the adult thinks you have to either love yourself or love another, but can't

ColorStorm:
understand doing both at the same time, probably because we grow to think of ourselves as fundamentally separate from the other.

Because it's an easy device? Because they're frustrated that they're not winning the debate or argument because their ego is tied in with their belief that they're right (as it is in the vast majority of people), so they resort to demonizing the other party or trying to attack them instead of the argument (ad hominem) because it's all they can do..

not sure if you're asking if the parents are shitty people or the children. i'll assume the latter. i think not, plenty of good people have had shitty parents. but they're not happy. shitty parenting doesn't so much make shitty people as make people with self-esteem issues and other issues that cause them to be miserable their entire lives.

ZouBisouBisou:
Do bad parents inevitably raise lousy children who grow up to be lousy adults?

Also college like Sean said. And, I think it should be the government's role to develop pharmaceuticals. But then, I'm a democratic socialist (like Bernie) so

ColorStorm:
maybe the government should be in charge of *all* industry. Or maybe not, I'm only tentatively a socialist.

ColorStorm:
Also, I'd pay a lot more taxes to make production, transportation and waste production more environmentally friendly.

ZouBisouBisou:
That's asking too much of the government, they should only control anything perverted by the profit motive like natural monopolies (public utilities, transit)

ZouBisouBisou:
They can also set prices on pharmaceuticals to prevent price gouging the way Europe currently does

ZouBisouBisou:
Controlling ALL means of production is communism by definition

But that's just it, it seems to me that *all*, or at least most, of the industries are perverted by the profit motive. From unhealthy foods to planned

ColorStorm:
obsolescence to environmentally unfriendly plastics

Do you think it's a waste of intelligence if a genius becomes a chessmaster instead of a scientist?

ColorStorm:
At first yeah (assuming the person doesn't just have a gift for chess and would make a great scientist instead), but when on thinking about it more, scientists aren't really that important. Our technology has way surpassed our humanity already, and our artificial context only serves to make us miserable and separate us from our source. People always are always looking forward into the future, expecting technology to make us happy, and ironically the only reason they're always banking on the future rather than enjoying what we have now is that technology only makes us unhappy. Technology is also allowing us to destroy the planet. Scientists also discover too, of course, but outward discovery isn't as important as finding and improving ourselves as individuals and as a species, especially when most of that discovery takes on an informational and technical, rather than a living and relational, nature.

Wasserpistole:
Do you feel we use the word "Monster" too often to describe an evil person?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I haven't seen it often enough and studied the people in question. Probably yes, though, knowing how people are with drama, sensationalism, superficial judgments, demonization, oversimplification, convenience, etc. And I think the term "evil person" is also overused. Just because you perform a heinous act (or even series of acts) doesn't necessarily mean you're evil. It could just mean you have serious issues that you struggle with. Even when the origin of the acts is pure evil, if there is such a thing, it's probably not right to say the *person* is evil. The person *contains*, *fosters* or *enacts* evil; nobody is *just* evil. Everybody contains a duality of good and evil, and underneath it all, at the deepest, most ultimate layer or consideration, is pure love.

I also had the advantage against this one friend, in fast mode, who claimed to be a genius at chess. I could've beat him, but he moved his queen over to my side and I panicked. When he won he said he knew I'd panic. =P

ColorStorm:
Oh, and also, I believe I know *all* the rules, even the obscure ones you never hear about.

What would be an obscure one?

if 50 moves are played without any piece being taken, either player can call for a draw. or somethingh ilke that.

ColorStorm:
I guess I know myself, but IMO that doesn't imply knowing who you'll be in every possible circumstance.. it's really impossible to know until it happens, humans are so dynamic. Like the people in the Milgrim experiment would never have predicted what they'd become no matter how well they knew themselves. It seems like I'd be exactly the same, but that could be wrong. Maybe I'd develop a superiority complex from doing so much philanthropic work? Maybe I'd develop a God complex from picking and choosing who gets to be saved or what dire needs in society get to be met? Maybe I'd just keep it all to myself, despite what I always thought I'd do, and feel guilty about it? (Doubt it.) Maybe I'd become arrogant because I'd feel above most people? Maybe I'd become more confident because I'd know I have what girls want? Maybe I'd just become happier? Maybe just some shallow variety of happiness? IDK.

I think my answers would be very different, but that doesn't necessarily mean people would notice / would suspect something is amiss. Though they may think I'm doing some strange new tack.

When was the last time you changed your mattress? How do you like it: soft, medium or firm? And what about your pillow(s) ?

ColorStorm:
10 years ago. I like my mattress and pillow as soft as possible. Honestly I never got why anybody *wouldn't*. (Except for people who need to sleep on a hard surface because of back issues.)

ColorStorm:
I got my pillow when I got my mattress.

ZouBisouBisou:
iPhone or Android, which is your preference and why?

ColorStorm:
Android. Apple is just a cult. It's overpriced and monolithic. And they're the same people who make macOS, which I've found to be painfully inferior to Windows in every way. Cruder looking and functioning, much fewer features and options, and way more buggy. I've tried an iPhone, and for every little thing I wanted to do, just basic things, I had to Google how to do it because it wasn't at all obvious how to and there was no way to find out on the phone. Even things as simple as going back a page. The fact that they *removed* the headphone jack and charge you like $130 for wireless earbuds tells you all you need to know about Apple.

ZouBisouBisou:
Google and Samsung also removed their headphone jacks, Samsung also took down all it's advertisements from it's YouTube channel making fun of apple for it lol

ZouBisouBisou:
But I agree. It's all aesthetic, none of it practical. A MacBook is no different from a chromebook in terms of functionality and specs.

ColorStorm:
oh wow, did'nt know taht. sucks.

ZouBisouBisou:
Yeah that's why I switched from the Pixel to the S10. The new Note doesn't have a headphone jack anymore.

ZouBisouBisou:
You should look up "pixel buds" they're insanely expensive. Might've gone down in price though.

ColorStorm:
fortunately it doesn't really matter to me because i've never used headphones with a phone. =p

I've never bought a couch. Our house currently doesn't have a couch. We had one that was I think a couple thousand dollars, but it got ruined and now we have a daybed there. To be honest, buying a couch for thousands of dollars seems really weird to me. That much money, for a place to sit? It seems like a strange cultural thing to me. I'd just buy plastic lawn chairs or bean bags or something. =P

What do you think about near death experiences, what are they in your humble opinion?

ColorStorm:
It may depend on the experience, but I think the more amazing ones, that the person experiences as being more real than everyday life, that are elaborate stories, that change their entire outlook on life and make them treat it with more care and make them okay with death, are actually the person temporarily visiting the afterlife. I think the idea that it's all just experiences generated by the neurology of a dying brain is a closed-minded and reaching rationalization. The view is essentially a product of the scientism that plagues our current zeitgeist.

The dems' strategy worked! Trump *was* bad, now he's gone. It's obvious that the economy is worse off in a lockdown, but apparently lots of people think it's worth it. Personally, I think a much weaker economy is much more sane even without virus.

ZouBisouBisou:
Would you rather live in a cramped apartment in a bustling city, or alone in a big house in the middle of nowhere?

ColorStorm:
Tough choice. I don't need a big house, small is fine for me (well, maybe not so small that it's actually cramped), but I hate big cities, they're so depressing with all that concrete everywhere. And the pollution, etc. But being out in the middle of nowhere would be really inconvenient because the nearest convenience store, department store, grocery store, etc. would be a zillion miles away. And not to mention hospital, doesn't seem very safe. I think it would be a lot better for my health (spiritual and physical) though, so in the middle of nowhere.

ZouBisouBisou:
What do you think of "tiny homes"?

ColorStorm:
have to look it up.. idk, most of the pictures only show the outside. i imagine they're mostly either too cramped or don't contain enough things

Read recently that Lucille Ball was responsible for Star Trek ever even airing. Her and Dezi Arnez did a lot for show business in general.

I think we should end up with herd immunity..

ZouBisouBisou:
That's been disproven. You'd need to reach some truly catastrophic numbers before that could ever be achieved, like bubonic plague numbers.

What does your family usually do to disturb/bother you? My dad starts singing loud or interrupts to ask me anything whenever he realizes I'm recording my singing or in the middle of a phone call...😒

ColorStorm:
My niece has emotional fits \*all the time\*. \*Every\* time comes out of her room, she's stomping around, slamming cabinet doors, etc. about something. It feels like she's taking out her irritation on everyone around her, and it annoys the hell outta me. When my mom is speaking, she often says the wrong thing that misleads you into thinking she's trying to say something else, and she gets mad when you misunderstand her and talks to you like a child. And when you point out what she said wrong, she lies about what she said or about what the intention was behind what she said.. she just argues for the sake of arguing and will say anything, no matter how wrong or ridiculous, just to argue. And she always expects you to know what she's thinking when she's talking to you despite her being a really poor communicator. If you ask her a question about what she's talking about, she'll be like, "WHAT do you THINK?" She has plenty of other personality flaws than that, and any time you try to point one out she'll just argue and argue and argue. Or she'll just be like "well, you'd better just stop talking to me then..." My dad is an asshole and yells at people whenever he feels like it, e.g. when they make a mistake and he's around to notice it. Of course, he never yells at my niece, because they're buddy-buddy. She intentionally gets on his good side, butters him up, etc. because he's the leader of the household and she likes to try and dominate. One of my sisters, though I don't live with her now, was always a super evil bitch to me. Like, I don't want to give examples, but this was on a shockingly fundamental/spiritual level. She's so evil and selfish. Just as a non-deep example, once I was talking to her through her car window and she rolled it up right in my face as I was talking (the subject wasn't anything antagonistic or whatever). She'd do things like that and worse things all the time, that's just one of the few examples I remember. Oh, and one time she made my nieces clean her room when they were little because she didn't feel like doing it herself, and they were crying, bawling their eyes out because they didn't want to do the grueling work, and she didn't care, just as an example of how selfish she is. My other sister is fine, there's nothing wrong with her.

I hate fake anything, including plants. It's an impostor. And just epitomizes how artificiality is overtaking nature. Also, if you're going to make something fake, you can make any shape you could possibly imagine, so you might as well make something original. It just shows what lack of imagination people have. Unless the point is just to trick you into thinking you're in a more wholesome environment, which is even worse.

ColorStorm:
fake plants, like fake tits, just shows how superficial people are that they'd rather focus on appearances and fuck the reality

I wish I’d be a bit more spontaneous. Sometimes I feel like going out, stealing a traffic cone, putting it on my head, and saying, “Look at me, I’m a giant witch.”

Usual.

And how's that usual?

How much do you know about quantum field theory?

ColorStorm:
I just know that it's the most complete theory in physics, subsuming almost everything else, and that in QFT every fundamental particle exists as an excitation in a particular type of field that extends throughout all of space. I read once how many fields there are supposed to be, but I forget now. 12? 24?

Can properties exist without objects?

ColorStorm:
Properties are just aspects of the forms of the objects that have the "properties," and the object is nothing without its form. It's all one thing, but we like to make them conceptually separate (which may or may not be useful) and then consider that separation to be absolute (which is epistemologically retarded).

When it's about earphones, what do you prefer: wired or wireless?

I don't do earphones, but I'd prefer wired so A. I don't have to worry about the charge running out, and B. I don't get the lossy compression that comes with Bluetooth. Also they're harder to lose.

How long have you ever hung upside down? And for what reason? 👀

ColorStorm:
Probably less than a minute, I'm not sure how many times or what for except for the time I was at a park and there was an exercising thing where you lay down on it upside down (kinda--at an angle I think), and I think my dad might have carried me upside down by my ankles briefly when I was a kid, not sure.

ChrisMartinez:
Do you get depressed around the holidays and if so why?

ColorStorm:
no, i think people get depressed because of how they've had better past holidays, now they don't have a girlfriend or something, or they see others with loved ones, i've never had a girlfriend during the holidays, so i'm not missing anything (it's as if i've never had a girlfriend anyway), and i just enjoy the good vibes and excitement, the crisp, cool air, the christmas songs and decorations, etc. i've never had much but at christmas i have more than usual. maybe i'll get depressed once my mom and dad die, idk. i've always had my family for christmas.

No, tell us about the battle. Why did they battle? How many battled? How many sides were there? Who kicked them out? When was this?

They battled cz they kinda miss the point of being an angel I guess, everyone battled, two sides, they were kicked by themselves, it was at the beginning

DUST:
Can anyone train their personality traits? Like.. If you are shy, can you change it? Can you train empathy? Caring?

ColorStorm:
good question, i actually don't know. i think the answer is a mixture of yes and no. if you're shy, you can overcome it, many people do, but maybe some fundamental part of you will always be shy? or maybe only for most people? or maybe not? as for empathy, i doubt you can train it. i think that's actually a part of your brain structure. caring is like empathy, of course. though if there's something *blocking* you from caring, like jadedness, you may overcome that through spiritual success.

DUST:
So you can train some traits but not others?

ColorStorm:
i think so

ColorStorm:
Lots of different things, I have many followers (they're generally the same as the people I follow), each one is different. I could explain my views on each of them, or a few interesting ones, but I think that would be a little awkward. And it probably wouldn't be all positive, and I wouldn't want to fluster some people.

Do people link their identities with their points of view? Like I'm a liberal, conservative, feminist etc. That becomes all they are. So when u "attack" their point of view they get personally offended. 🤔

I think it's odd and harsh how the popular mindset is that, after a month of celebrating, Christmas abruptly stops exactly at the end of Dec. 25. Talk about leaving one high and dry.. I've never kissed anyone under a mistletoe.

ChrisMartinez:
Neither have I actually. I remember when I was 6 my cousin's friend she was maybe 17. She chased me around..

Templar:
Do you believe in Solipsism ?

ColorStorm:
No. You can't logically disprove solipsism, but theories about the whole universe being a trick of some sort (such as solipsism or simulation theory) aren't heart/sensibility-based. And, IMO, even on a rational level they're extremely unlikely. Though, in a deep esoteric sense, I guess you could say some things in support of solipsism. I think, on the most ultimate level of being, we're all one consciousness, and it's consciousness that's manifesting the material world. But I wouldn't say that *I'm* any more real than the next guy/girl/animal/etc., so in that sense I'm not solipsistic.

good answer, but it's still open to debate

Logically yes, but no, because I think that would be a political nightmare, especially with the anti-vaxxers. How would you give them more liberty, anyway? Allow stores, clubs, etc. to open but only allow people in who have their vaccine ID? In that case it might not be worth it for them to stay open..

I've never been suspicious of a friend. Except once. This friend I had at an ALF wanted to go to the store with me. Then when we were there he asked me to buy him some bracelets. And I realized he probably only wanted to go to the store with me so I would buy him stuff. That made me a little angry/disappointed, but he was an okay friend overall, I don't think he was only my friend to manipulate me.

on one hand, doing drugs really does have benefits (at least in the moment--sometimes permanently depending on what kind of drugs we're talking about), and his speech could be interpreted as coming from the moralistic and wholesome Establishment... on the other hand, he's completely right, all those things have a high likelihood of happening, and it's amazing to me that so many people fall into those pitfalls without seeing ahead of time where drugs so often lead, so it's an important reminder.

I'd say, "what the hell!?" in no direction in particular and then vigorously wipe off the spit, then, i guess, keep walking.

Saater:
Hypocrisy hour. Can a person state ethical values while they work and get paid from or with help of unethical incomes ?

ColorStorm:
That's a tricky one. Getting paid with help of unethical incomes is kind of outside of or on the fringe of the bubble of one's ethical awareness. (But then, whether one's a hypocrite or not depends not only on their own bubble but on what society in its own bubble knows or considers about the consequences of their actions.) It's kind of like asking whether you can advocate being kind to animals and then turn around and eat meat. Most people, even animal lovers, eat meat and think nothing of the lifelong misery they're helping to inflict on animals because they don't have to see it. So, given that we're all but unaware of what we're doing and everybody does it, is it hypocrisy to advocate loving animals while being a meat eater? Similarly, let's say someone's 401k invests in some shady companies, for example maybe one of them is responsible for murder.. is it then unethical for that someone to preach not murdering people? What if he never looked into what his 401k is investing in? What if he did and doesn't approve of the investment but has little choice, pragmatically speaking? And what of the fact that he's only doing what everybody else does? And what of the indirectness or trivialness with which that company is associated with him? So I think whether they're hypocrites or not just depends on how strict a measure you want to hold them up to. If you go by society's ruling (and is a hypocrite anything other than what society deems a hypocrite?), I'd say the answer to your question is yes, you can do that (i.e. without being a hypocrite), at least depending on how direct and how substantial the ties are with the unethical incomes.

Do you know what it feels like to lose a beloved pet?

ColorStorm:
When I was a kid my hamster got some bacteria in his brain (probably because I didn't clean his cage often enough) and I had to make the decision to allow them to put him to sleep. I cried for hours. Then about 2008 we had to put our beloved dog to sleep because of arthritis so bad he couldn't stand up, but by that time I didn't have emotions anymore. Also we have lots of cats and they die all the time. Some of them we bury.

Wieselmann:

I'm not sure, my dad handles that, and I've never really been curious enough to find out. I think he throws them away. =P

Fun fact: once I was looking through a really long list of cast members for a movie on IMDB, even scrolling by a bunch and just reading a few here and there, and I didn't even know why I was doing that, and then I happened to come across the name of someone I'm friends with on Facebook and have talked to a little, an animal psychic. Turns out she used to be an actress and I didn't know it at the time.

Wieselmann:
What does it take to convince you that there is a god?

ColorStorm:
Here's a conversation I once had with Bullets&Pie about that. ColorStorm: To answer your question about why I believe the words are from God.. ColorStorm: I’m really good at seeing all of the subtle flaws and shortcomings of people, like in their writings, on the conceptual level, on the level of actual motivations and intentions, on the level of grammar and whether they choose the best possible word for the job, etc.. and the parts in Neale’s books where God speaks, it’s absolutely flawless. In all of those senses. That’s more an unusual occurrence as far as I’m concerned than you might realize. I’ve literally never encountered any text so flawless in my life ColorStorm: or speech ColorStorm: so it makes sense that the explanation for that fact would be that ti’s actually God talking as is the premise of the books. ColorStorm: I mean obviously someone who’s trying to channel God is going to sound as perfect as possible, but this is a matter of subtle things, unconscious motivation, cognitive perfection and talent and grace at using language that you can’t do just by wanting to. and people want to sound perfect all the time after all. ColorStorm: Furthermore, the ‘energy’ behind the text, as in the messages it contains and the style, or maybe simply something spiritually tacked onto the text directly, was absolutely, 100% pure in my perception. it was so pure and neutral that it was almost unworldly ColorStorm: i don’t know if i should say it was 100% neutral, because it wasn’t exactly indifferent, or he wouldn’t have had a reason to say anything, but it was neutral of biases or all but the most sublime energies or whatever One thing I didn't mention there is that there were a few things in the books (that is, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, and other books in his dialogue series) that I'd always thought, because I'm a deep thinker and very intuitive and caring, but never heard anyone else say. At one point I even dropped a tear on one of the pages, and crying isn't something I do very often.

Stupidity can't be quantified into numbers. Well, I guess you could devise a way, but any meaningful way would yield a finite result, and there's a finite number of people in the world, so human stupidity would have to be finite. So you're left with a quote that just says, in a cute way, "people are really dumb." And I think the answer to that is, yes, we obviously are. =P

Do you think it's stupid to believe in something that has no evidence to back it up?

ColorStorm:
No, because "evidence" comes in many grades. There's hard, scientific evidence, and then there's all sorts of other types and levels of "evidence"/suggestive evidence. Disbelieving-by-default anything that's not scientifically proven is too easy; it's as if truth acquisition can be done on auto-pilot, algorithmically. In truth it's not easy, and you have to take many, many things into consideration and weigh them against each other, and you must have a well-balanced mind and a desire to know the objective truth that goes deeper than your own predilections to see clearly. Scientism ain't it, chief.

Are books a good investment? If so, which in your collection do you like the most?

ColorStorm:
On one hand it's nice to have a physical copy since you never know what will happen to your digital device and the cloud, and also a study showed we retain information better when we read from a physical copy...on the other hand I think a lot of people (like me) keep tons of books they'll never read again and it's a waste of resources. I'd have to look through my whole collection to remember what all my favorites are, but one good one I saw hanging out on my floor is The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves. Other than that the ones that come to mind first are all the books in the dialogue series by Neale Donald Walsch.

Surprise:
Do you recall how you came upon those books? Where they a gift? Does your collection sway towards a certain genre ?

ColorStorm:
Sometimes I just see references to books online, I don't know how, various places, I guess just people who liked the books, I think that's how I came across

ColorStorm:

I knew this guy in IRC (online chat) who I thought was pretty cool, and one time I got the courage to message him privately and I happened to ask him if he knew

ColorStorm:
of any cool places to chat, and he told me of this very spiritual IRC channel on a certain network and I went there and hung out there for maybe years

ColorStorm:
somebody in the channel mentioned Conversations with God and I think said it was pretty good, so soon after I got it from a book store

ColorStorm:
(Conversations with God 1, 2, 3 and 4 are part of the dialogue series by Neale Donald Walsch)

ColorStorm:
my books are mostly non-fiction, a few different genres of non-fiction I guess, but if anything I tend to gravitate to spiritual and new age books.

What did you learn today?

ColorStorm:
Catholics have a different set of the 10 commandments than protestants. The Hebrew word for the holy spirit in the bible is feminine. Fluorescent lighting tubes only have .3% atmospheric pressure inside. Plasma globes work only because the gas inside the glass is so rarified, just like fluorescent lights. Norm Macdonald was a great guy. Amber is a form of glass. Amber becomes denser over millions of years. If you inject psilocybin into your veins, bacteria from the soil and the fungus itself will grow in your blood and give you serious problems. Jesus' father was Pantera. Some of these things I technically learned yesterday, but I haven't slept much so it's basically still today.

Nah, you did a lot to earn it. It is all Karma. (My opinion) But "proud" is not for nothing one of the deadly sins.

Wieselmann:
What would happen if the moon was gone all of a sudden?

ColorStorm:
I think it would be the most popular topic by far for many years to come. Everyone would have their theory on what happened, but the unique thing about this event would be that scientists would be completely stumped. Lots of nocturnal animals would die, and in many many years the remaining nocturnal animals would evolve bigger eyes. Back to the short term, maybe people would even go crazy, riot, etc., dunno. The people who believe the moon is a holographic projection put up by the government would have a field day. Qafka says there would be mass extinction. I don't know the mechanics of that, but I wouldn't be surprised. Everything in the ecosystem is so delicately balanced. I have a hunch there may be this underlying feeling in a lot of people that we, as a species, had done something wrong. That we failed, that we no longer deserved the moon and that we'd never reach paradise/utopia.

The earth would spin much faster without the moon. We'd probably all die cos of massive storms

I'm pro-mask, but I think her reaction was very overblown and weird. But then, we didn't get to see what may have led up to that point. We don't know if there was some kind of argument that mutually escalated or something else to set her off.

Wasserpistole:
I am not pro-mask and for me this whole fear porn surrounding corona is to blame for her pain and suffering, so shame of the assholes who were doing this to her

Maybe there is fear porn surrounding corona, I dunno. Maybe it's just in the character of millennials, or some millennials, to take movements too emotionally

Earliest memory: asking my dad what "school" is. or maybe the time I fell between the chair and the wall and my head bounced back and forth between them and I saw stars. I don't remember which came first. They're both actually just memories of memories now, though. best memory: I have a few of them. I have a write-up here: https://pastebin.com/A2AxZdNb worst memory: idk, maybe one of the many, many times my dad yelled and cussed at me nastily for some mistake i made, or the only memory I can think of particularly is the time I was in a car accident and sat on the curb drenching my shirt in blood and spitting pieces of my teeth out. my most terrified moment was when they tried to clue my eyelid together (which had been cut by the windshield when my face made a hole in it) and accidentally glued my eye shut and had to pull it back apart. none of the car accident was really that bad though compared to my life in general. in fact I purposely didn't wear my seatbelt that day because I wanted to die.

CloudBurst07:
Do you have good intuition when it comes to people? Tell me about a time when you were right and everyone else was wrong.

ColorStorm:
I used to see people pretty clearly, and I thought they were mostly made of bullshit. I literally thought their egos were bigger than they were. I also thought Bill Clinton was an obvious sleazebag, just by the way he talked, and couldn't believe nobody else saw it. I also thought the lead singer of Duran Duran was evil just because of the way he sang, and I'm still not sure why. I guess it was personal wounds, desires and biases mixed in with my acute and extremely pure perception. But either way, I don't have any of that perception now. I can't relate to having thought any of those things I said above now. I think part of the reason why may be because I spent a few years trying to put myself into other, normal people's minds to better understand them, because I thought I had to act more like them to get by in this world. I think just the act of trying to put myself in their minds made me more like them and hence more normal and crappy.

The next day my psychic friend said there was "a lot less misunderstanding in the Universe."

What is it about Walmart that attracts the ghettoest people imaginable?

ColorStorm:
I've wondered that too. The only thing I can think of is, like other people said, the products are cheap. Maybe it's also because it's a big store, easy to get lost in the background, and the atmosphere is lax, maybe because the employees are paid pennies and don't give a damn about enforcing any kind of dress code, so people may bot bother not making it obvious they're low-class or the low-class people feel more comfortable shopping there.

If you don't vote u have no right to complain. you vote for Biden let's say, and fucks up the world. You're responsible for his actions you voted him in. I as a non voter didn't do anything. I didn't elect him u did this to us. Blood is on ur hands😁

ColorStorm:
If you don't vote, then you're making it more likely that the even more evil person will win. So yes, it could turn out badly, but you're taking responsibility and playing the odds, as you should. I don't think the blood is necessarily on our hands for voting for a certain person.. we were just preventing something even worse from happening, and it wasn't our fault that we were given the only two choices we were given. I also disagree that if you don't vote you have no right to complain. It's incidental whether one voted or not. One's individual vote doesn't make a difference, so it's not really that logical to vote. But whether you voted or not, the system is flawed and unfair, and it needs people to speak up about what's not right for any improvement to be made. The holes, corruption, etc. should get attention. People need to know and think about them. It's not like the purpose of complaining is just to let something off your chest at the expense of the listener. And even if it were, by what logic should this luxury only be granted to people who voted? I'm not even sure what the reasoning is.

ChrisMartinez:
I'm tired if voting for the lesser evil. U still end up with evil. Shuffling the same corrupt ppl around every 4yrs is insane

No, not really. I don't buy a lot of stuff. I tend to save my money and then when I get something I get the best.

The "pro police" people seen here violently attacking DC's finest. Your thoughts? https://imgur.com/gallery/1sQgzgI

ColorStorm:
the fact that people fight so much and can't just talk it out and agree on what's best for everyone is the sad state of human stupidity. with cops and protests it just manifests as cops doing their jobs and justifying it to themselves because even questioning their orders would be unpragmatic. and because they're violent fucking bullies.

Would you ask for boss for new tasks when you have nothing to do or would you just chill for a while?

ColorStorm:
CHILL. I hate labor, and I owe the company nothing. It's merely a mutually selfish transaction where they would exploit me in whatever way they possibly could and would throw me under the curb if it became convenient. Also I'm afraid of bothering the boss about what to do because it makes me look like I can't figure out what to do on my own (which I can't).

ColorStorm:
er, throw me to the curb/under the bus/whatever. i'm not even sure what those things mean hehe

Do you have to be an asshole sometimes to be a good leader?

I don't know, but just because being an asshole isn't good and isn't ideal doesn't necessarily mean that you never have to do it to maintain a leadership position. It's not an ideal world. God never came down to Earth and decreed, "let there be leaders!" It's just an organic phenomenon.. just like to be a successful politician you have to be somewhat of a sociopath.

his messages in the channel used a lot of big words and sophisticated concepts and were difficult/impossible to figure out

ColorStorm:
in private he didn't say anything that screamed IQ 200 but it was plausible, i guess

ColorStorm:
he did say that he was able parse some English text from scratch using some kind of calculus, whatever that means

ColorStorm:
i've heard from the inner high-IQ circle that chris langan took the IQ test he supposedly got 200 or whatever on 3 times, and the first time he got

170 something, which supposedly meant his real IQ is probably around 170

That so much complexity and so many mathematical "truths" can be derived from such a simple set of basic axioms. Also, maybe, how effective it is in physics as a tool for modeling the world..

Wieselmann:
why did you put truths in " " ?

ColorStorm:
Because all math is tautology. Mathematical truths can't actually inform you about anything ontological.

ColorStorm:
if a given truth were ontological then it could conceivably have been different..

ColorStorm:
i.e. you could hypothetically have perceived something different instead indicating a different truth on the matter

Are you happy with where you live? If so, what keeps you there? I'm on the brink of my next big move.

ColorStorm:
I'm okay with where I live. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's being overrun with Hispanics, so a lot of people around here don't even speak English, including a lot of store employees, so you can't even necessarily ask for help from a floor worker, clear up a misunderstanding with the cashier, etc. There are also certain traffic rules that they habitually ignore. But I wouldn't want to move somewhere else, because it could have its own problems (with the house, the people, the commerce, the weather, the services, etc.), and you probably won't realize what those problems will be ahead of time, so you don't know whether the problems you move into will be worse than the ones you came from.

Have you been seen as an offender though you were innocent but you cannot prove it? During my driving lessons a girl in our car had to park in a narrow spot and I sneezed once and in that split second I knew it came over as suppressed laughter ....

ColorStorm:
You must have really light/dainty sneezes. =) I remember once when I was a kid my grandfather's wife (not my biological grandmother) thought I was lying about something, I don't remember what, and said, "I don't like liars." I couldn't convince her I wasn't lying. And one time in elementary school I burped loudly in class and the teacher thought I did it on purpose. I told her it was because I'd just drank a lot of water (which I had), and she said, "water doesn't make you burp." And one time I accidentally kicked my cousin's feet under the table, and my aunt said I was "controlling, just like [my] dad." I think I was a teenager then. Those are the only times I remember.

ColorStorm:
Oh, yeah, I forgot I was going to also mention the time that I was a kid and my grandma let me eat the crumbs that were in the box next to the cake.. but I got

ColorStorm:
closer and closer to the sides of the cake until I was basically scooping out from the bottom edges of the cake. Then when the cherry on top went missing, she

ColorStorm:
blamed me and was convinced I ate that too. Which I hadn't. She didn't believe me when I told her I hadn't.

Templar:
Will humans evolve into one Sex ?

ColorStorm:
Hopefully not. (I don't think we'll ever evolve to have all the same genitalia, that's impossible, but maybe the sexes will evolve to be more similar.) It seems that a lot of people want that these days, and I think they're shallow and shortsighted not to be able to see the beauty of the male/female paradigm and how the opposite energies engender romance.

Templar:
good foresight

DUST:
Are Free spirits condemned to live in solitude?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, if you're not checked then it's easy to offend people so maybe you'd have to end up alone.. on the other hand, maybe you'd just filter out everybody but those who are truly compatible with you or at least who are forgiving or open-minded.

ZouBisouBisou:
What do you do to stay sharp?

ColorStorm:
Play Words with Friends (aka scrabble) and sometimes chess. Maybe writing the occasional essay also counts.

ZouBisouBisou:
So many cheaters on WWF. When you start beating them they won't even finish the game.

ZouBisouBisou:
How good are you at chess? Is it an accurate litmus test for one's intelligence?

ColorStorm:
I can beat my mom and my friends. I'd probably suck against someone who plays chess as a hobby. I don't know if chess is an accurate litmus test. Being intelligent obviously helps a lot, it's a game that requires a lot of thinking, but I don't know how high the correlation is between, say, chess rating and IQ. Also, a major thing to consider is that, I think, you can get significantly better at chess with practice, so it would correlate a lot with one's interest in chess..

What's something you always wanted as a kid, but never got? Karate lessons for me

ColorStorm:
All I really wanted when I was a kid was to have a girlfriend/kiss a girl/etc. I never got it. I did get karate lessons. I don't think they would've translated to being good in an actual fight at all.

ZouBisouBisou:
Karate chopping someone taking closed fist swings at you does seem impractical lol

Wieselmann:
Do you believe in fate?

ColorStorm:
I don't know about fate, per se, but I believe a lot of things happen "for a reason." I think if something like fate existed then people's futures would be kinder than they are.. There is such a thing as trajectory, though--long-term consequences to your current state, habits, etc.--it's just not very poetic and it's not written in stone.

Tell me if the following things are either overrated or underrated: pencils, marriage, vacuum cleaning robots, cash, electric cars, school, social media, tattoos

ColorStorm:
pencils - i would say overrated (pencil writing doesn't look pretty and it rubs off), but they're probably better for the environment. marriage - overrated. roombas - dunno. cash - underrated (having the option of anonymity is great and we won't necessarily always have it). electric cars - from what I've read from everyone who's ever owned or been in Tesla, way underrated. school - overrated (it's child abuse). social media - rated just about right, imo. tattoos - overrated

Make up a color and describe how to recreate it mentally. Example: Blarf. This is the color that can be obtained by mixing the color of a particularly silent and deadly fart with the color of chunky vomit. (Use your imagination)

Whoald. It's like white with gold specs, except that the specs are so fine and spread out that the gold is completely uniform. it's just goldish white.

Wieselmann:
If you could have a video of one situation in your life, which situation would you pick?

ColorStorm:
The time I was psychotic (I think it was excited delirium) and playing chess with my sister and I took her piece by flicking my piece from its current square into her piece, my piece knocking her piece over and taking its place. She said, "how did you do that?" It wasn't just a freak accident, because the reason I even attempted was that I *knew* it would work. Not because I was really skilled in flicking or anything. It was just the power of my consciousness. Or maybe the time I predicted which way a coin wild flip 8 times in a row (or maybe not; I don't remember whether I called them out loud). Or, actually, probably the entire visit the first time I went to a mental hospital, so I could analyze it after the fact. A lot of really amazing and psychic things happened. Or maybe one of the times I played games like Go, Reversi, or this one I don't know the name of based on cellular automata, and won easily without even thinking about my moves, just going by intuition and playing at a brisk pace. Or maybe one of the times I got into an argument with my mom because of her mindfuckery, just so I could prove that she said things that were intentionally misleading and then later claimed she said something else or lied about what her intentions were in saying something. Or maybe one of the many instances of my dad's emotional abuse when I was a kid so I could make people understand what I went through and why I am the way I am..

CloudBurst07:
Recommend one of your favorite books. List the title/author/genre. Why is it among your favorites?

ColorStorm:
The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves, by Stephen Grosz. I dunno the genre, I saw "self-help." but I'd think more "psychology." A psychoanalyst recalls patients he's had and their stories and analyzes them and why they did did the things they did. Aside from generally learning about the human condition, which is fascinating in itself, many individual experiences and mindsets are shared by many others, the same patterns repeating themselves over and over. By being aware of them and the subconscious factors behind them, those who share a given pattern are empowered to transcend it. Awareness is freedom. Having some perspective in life like what's in this book is like having a lantern, or maybe a map, while walking through the jungle at night. Here's another pick: Conversations with God book 3/Neale Donald Walsch/Spirituality. I'm not really up to explaining why it's my favorite because I've done so so many times in the past.

Can a cop be your friend?

ColorStorm:
idk, not all cops are bad (the system makes it practically impossible for a good cop to be a whistleblower, so not reporting other cops doesn't make them bad -- https://www.boredpanda.com/whistleblower-ex-cop-reveals-why-impossible-be-good-apple-police-brutality/ ), so I'm not opposed to it on principle, but still, it takes a certain type of person to be a cop and I don't know that there are any cops I'd actually click with..

RetroKnight:
sure it does, these people voluntarily picked up that badge and gun and took on the ability to kill people with near impunity

RetroKnight:
Im sorry but you don't get to hide behind it's hard, fight from within or quit

RetroKnight:
I'm pretty sure they take some oath to uphold the law and it doesn't say 'unless it's one of our own'

ChrisMartinez:
Do you think twitter should have the right to ban people? My pov is twitter has cannibalized the market to a point there is no other option. Now you're suppressing information. Whether u like the opinion or not its still should be heard

ColorStorm:
Idk, if they can't ban people, then some people who should be banned won't be banned. If they can ban people, then some people who shouldn't be banned will be banned. Which would happen more, and which way is worse? I'd default to not letting them ban people--I'm not a big fan of censorship--but then they wouldn't have been able to ban Trump, and I'm glad they did, for the sake of national security if nothing else. BTW, I wonder, even if Twitter were classified as a public utility, would some people still be bannable, like terrorists? I would guess yes...

Is the best way to trust someone is to trust them ?

If you found out you were infertile - would that bring you joy or sorrow?

ColorStorm:
I'd be a little distressed/disappointed, but I wouldn't exactly say sorrowful. Chances are I'll never have children anyway, so it doesn't matter so much. And if I had the opportunity to have children, I probably shouldn't take it because life on Earth sucks for humans.

The school shooter's lobby just filed for bankruptcy, your thoughts? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-15/nra-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection

ColorStorm:
I'm surprised, I thought they got tons of donations. I heard they're very strategic with using all that money to place politicians in power who would be supportive of gun rights. Maybe if they actually ran out of money, for some reason, the world will become a slightly better place..

ZouBisouBisou:
That's a common misconception, they aren't that rich, but they're very devoted and organize extremely well. They always plan on attacking any bill that

ZouBisouBisou:
Restricts gun access in anyway, like the call for universal background checks which had 90% support among voters and in congress. They killed it, that's what

ZouBisouBisou:

One really prominent breakfast item, at least in the USA, that surprisingly nobody mentioned, is milk and cereal. At least it's popular for kids, not sure about adults. Anyway that stuff is awful, it has so much sugar and probably various kinds of bad fats from the way they cook them too.

How would you feel about having another childhood? Would you be careful or reckless this time ? ( asking for a friend)

ColorStorm:
Yeah I'd love to be a child again, as long as I don't have to relive it the way I did the first time. I don't think I'd want to be more careful or more reckless, but I could've used being a little more *daring*, particular with girls. I literally couldn't make myself though, and if I did I'm sure I would've just embarrassed myself because I didn't relate to people and couldn't socialize at all, and it's probably because I knew that that I couldn't make myself do it. So it was never really a choice. But maybe if I had another time around, if I got to have some aspects of child mentality but some aspects of my adult mentality, then I could do it the next time around..

What would you say to someone who claims that there is no objective truth?

ColorStorm:
In my heart I believe in objective truth, but philosophically it seems hard to justify. I can make arguments all day on why there's no objective truth. Even so, if somebody said that I'd probably take it as a red flag that they just believe whatever they want to believe and probably believe some pretty silly things? Idk. I probably wouldn't say anything to them, or maybe I'd ask them why they believe that just to see if they're on sound ground. Oh.. I could also ask them if it's objectively true that there's no objective truth. 🤣 I could ask myself that too, of course. It's just a funny thing to put to them and see what they say.

tough choice, i like them both.. but in totally different ways.. Don't Speak has a nice clear sad emotion to it, but Hotel California sounds totally awesome. I wouldn't want to give up either of them. But if I have to choose which I like better, Hotel California just because if only one of them could exist I'd prove that one because I think it's the greater gift to society just by being such an ingenious aesthetic masterpiece.

How come ethnicities other than white can live with their own kind and not get any shit for it? Every city in America has a Chinatown. No white Town though. You need to be diversified. Not saying it bad just wondering why

ColorStorm:
I guess because of the amount of oppression of other races committed by whites. Whites have the most privilege, so it means when whites exclude other races the other races don't get to be privileged..

Legs are like happy trails, they lead up to what's between them :)

Kate:
Yes, that is a quite obvious way to explain it, but I think it is as obvious as it is beside the point. That sort of appeal seems to go deeper than that?

Yes, it definitely does. I just don't know the deeper reasons. It's like my post re the core of the poodle, nobody understands aesthetics.

Kate:
Germans often use the phrase "des Pudels Kern" to indicate they know a deeper truth or reasoning. Literally: The poodles core. Meaning: The gist of the matter. You know why we talk about the core of a poodle?

ColorStorm:
I'm sure it has an origin story, but that meme would have become popular for reasons buried deep in our collective mind and the cosmos totally out of reach of our meager understanding of aesthetics. If we even half-way understood aesthetics or why the words that became popular did, we would be an enlightened species, would fundamentally grasp the cosmos, and would no longer be lost. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/02/16/on-the-meanings-of-words/

Should violent murderers with life imprisonment be able to go back into society with good behaviour in prison? If so, how long should this good behaviour last until the decision is made?

There are a lot of things only children would enjoy, that virtually no adults would except maybe those with developmental disabilities or just a really childlike mind, like Barney & Friends for example, but I can't think of anything that's only for children in the sense that adults should be discouraged or prohibited from partaking in it..

n/a I'm barefoot, I only wear shoes when I go out, but my shoes are black crocs. Sometime soon I'm going to paint them with the world's blackest paint.

Kate:
Haha, why painting black?

ColorStorm:
I got some Musou black paint, like one ounce for $35 or something, which is about as dark as the darkest substance ever created. Paint it on something, and you

ColorStorm:
can't even make out its contours. It just looks like an oddly shaped hole. And I really wanted to paint something with it, but I can't think of anything to

ColorStorm:
paint except for my shoes. But I'm afraid they won't appear extremely black because of the texture of the surface and also the paint will probably come off soon

Kate:
I need that paint! Do you have more details on the manufacturer?

ColorStorm:
it's all written in Chinese. just go to eBay and search for Musou black paint

Kate:
Found it! WOW!

ColorStorm:
hopefully mine and the one you found aren't knock-offs. I don't know whether people are stealing the name Musou or not.

judging by how expensive it was, though..

Yeah, just 100ml @ $40. That's pure luxury.

Is psychoanalysis useful?

ColorStorm:
Probably when put into the right hands. An astute person can probably make almost any methodology/ideology useful. I really like the book 'The Examined Life' which is by a psychoanalyst. Conversely, I think no amount of psychological theory will of much use to a psychologist who lacks the gift of insight.

New is always better when it comes to fresh produce or just-minted money. When it comes to most things, it's usually true but often not. Well, notwithstanding the fact that they don't build things like they used to. Our clothes washer just broke that we've had for over 30 years, I doubt we'll find one today that lasts that long. But compared to models 10 years ago, the newer ones probably have features and advancements the older ones don't. When it comes to software, newer is usually better because it adds features and fixes bugs, but not always--particularly major version numbers can be a doozy because they introduce new bugs or remove features or change the UX around.

Why do people question the effects of WLAN radiation while eating a burger of suspicious smell, taste and ingredients?

ColorStorm:
Because there's nothing *hidden* about the health disadvantages of a burger, and eating them is fully ingrained into society/culture. WLAN is both new and mysterious (mysterious as in you can't _see_ radio waves), so it's ripe for reactionalism and conspiracy theories, etc. Not that I think WLAN necessarily doesn't have health/wellness implications for people and animals. It may very well be dangerous. But I agree that it's stupid to worry about WLAN while biting into a burger..

Kate:
That was a sound reading. ;)

Andy:
When is it ok to cheat? (If any, and by cheat I mean relationships and cheating in general)

ColorStorm:
In relationships, always. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/ The very fact that people call sexual freedom "cheating" is a travesty. In a non-relationship context, cheating is okay in grade school because grade school is a kind of emotional and mental abuse forced upon children, the child cheating on a test doesn't actually hurt anybody, and it somewhat mitigates the abuse of having to memorize a bunch of crap and be physically or emotionally punished by their parents if they don't. In a game, it's okay to cheat if all parties involved know you're cheating. If they feel offended by the cheating, too bad, it's just a game. The worse that can happen is the game becomes less fun, which isn't really a moral issue. Or also people's egos could be agitated, but that's purely a self-centered reaction and nothing that needs to be supported or protected. Besides, if everyone knows they're cheating then they didn't *really* beat you anyway. If a person cheats in a game secretly, that's immoral because it's lying. It's lying about the ability of the person in question. And believing any untruth has a detrimental holistic effect on one's entire episteme and their ability to determine future truths. If a person cheats in a situation where money is involved, that's not just. Money is like the fruits of misery/labor (and sometimes luck) and the power to purchase happiness, health or security, and if someone cheats then that's violation of whatever kind of financial-exchange agreement we're talking about. It can cause harm to someone in a way that they wouldn't have chosen if they weren't lied or if certain very relevant information weren't withheld. Actually, I take that back. It's perfectly fine to cheat against large corporations, because they're exploitative, evil, and have more money than they need anyway. In a court case, cheating by the defense is okay if the defendant is actually innocent, and cheating by the prosecution is okay if the defendant is actually guilty. The cheating in this case is simply reversing a potential injustice. There's no point in going through the process except to effect justice, so there's nothing wrong with violating some rules of the process if it's a means to that end. If you don't believe in punishment in general (as I somewhat tend toward), or punishment in the particular case, or think it's excessive, then cheating by the defense is okay and cheating by the prosecution is not. In voting (of all types), I'd say it's okay to cheat if it increases the number of votes for the option that has the better overall outcome for all, but the problem is you can't really advocate that because everyone has their own ideas of what's better for the overall outcome of all. You'd just end up with the people with the most conviction cheating the most (*cough* republicans), and we know that there's a negative correlation between self-confidence and competence, and that the wise man knows that he knows nothing. Of course, I'm an exception to the above rules; I'm always right and I know it, so if I knew the details of a particular voting event and felt confident to determine what the best outcome would be, then I would say that the correct answer to when it's okay to cheat is that it's okay for the side voting for whichever option I say is the propitious option to cheat and not for the other side to cheat. For example, it's okay for Democrats to cheat when voting but not for Republicans. On the other hand, nobody would listen to me anyway; they'd all believe their side is the correct one, and they'd either cheat or not depending on their own morals, their ability to cheat and their chances of getting caught. Also I'd be vilified. =P In the scenarios where I said it's okay to (secretly) cheat, it's still true that the misinformation can have a holistic effect on the psyches of the people who are fooled, but I believe that effect is less important than the positive effects of cheating.

Would you rather live in Germany or France?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I've only been to Germany briefly, but like I said before, I liked the energy of the place. Everyone in France is really good-looking though (which could be a bad thing--maybe I'd be relatively ugly there?), and I love the language. But *everyone* smokes there (at least they did when I went there in about 1991), and I've heard they look down on Americans. But Germans have that awful-sounding guttural language (though the ability to make longer words out of any combination of shorter words is pretty cool), and I'm afraid they'd be too unfeeling--but I'm unfeeling too so maybe it wouldn't bother me. Idk, I'd have to check them both out again and maybe read about them before I'd know.

Wasserpistole:
What is more important, religion or art?

ColorStorm:
Art by far, religion is strict, controlling, guilt-inducing and dogmatic, art more open than anything and is revealing. Art is free along so many dimensions, and its nature makes it largely impossible to include dogma within it, so the only thing left for it to convey is unbridled truth (or, at the very least, a sharing of the artist's mind, which is also good). Art advances humanity, always; religion is a relic from the "dark ages."

A little sad about the stupidity implied by the toilet paper hoarding, but tbh I'm more sad about just observing how people, for example, aren't even smart enough to use the English language properly or to make valid arguments, and that has nothing to do with the virus. It's just something I've been noticing a little bit more of lately for whatever reason.

Should foreign art objects be returned to the ownership of their country of origin?

ColorStorm:
It doesn't matter. Countries are fictitious boundaries anyway. Why not to their city of origin, or to their exact location? I think as long as people are able to appreciate them they're okay. If anything their being in different countries helps different cultures to appreciate each other. I mean, the idea that foreign art objects should *always* be returned to their country of origin sounds vaguely PC-ish to me, but I'm sure there are *some* cases where they should be. Like maybe where a poor country was taken advantage of or the art was stolen or something.

My higher plane of thought says that whether Joe Biden wears a mask or not has nothing to do with whether it's most propitious that everyone else does.

I'd take it as a compliment. It means you're very archetypal. It means your essence comes across very clear, reflected in everything you do, and they've never met anyone else like you.

I don't know, I feel it's to inspire people and help them grow/gain perspective/know themselves better just by my interacting with them. Maybe also to unintentionally challenge them in a positive and very necessary way just by being me, but maybe that's an incidental outcome of a botched upbringing. There may be more lofty aspects to what I was made for, such as saving the Universe, but I'm not aware of them except in my wildest imaginings. Once a psychic that I really respected told me that my purpose is to bring magic back into this world. She said, "I don't know where it came from, but it came quickly and it came powerfully."

Should billionaires be expected to donate large sums of money during this pandemic? (They collectively earned $12 trillion from March - December 2020)

Maybe, but not too much. I probably don't understand this well enough, but the thing is that billionaires don't actually have billions in cash. They own the means of production, which is valued at billions. If they have to give a large percentage of those billions, they have to sell off crap which would..what..liquidate the means of production, so the economy is less efficient and more people are out of jobs? Or cause them to get bought by another company that has a lot of cash, thus increasing monopoly? Maybe we should charge companies the large sums of money instead of people? But how many companies have large sums of cash hanging around? And if they got wind that the government is about to take their cash, maybe they would immediately invest it? Idk I don't know anything about this.

What in your option is the biggest regularly occurring television event in the world? (i.e. Superbowl, FA world cup, Olympics etc.)

ColorStorm:
There's no point in guessing at that, I'd just have to look at the numbers...off-hand I don't know.

Andy:
...I'll spoil the fun then... its olympic opening ceremonies with the London 2012 Olympics having the highest numbers very closely followed by Brazils.

This question was inspired by Justin Bieber: Do you wanted to stay friends with your boyfriend or girlfriend after the romantic relationship ended?

Yes, unless for some reason I have a relationship that ends with her stabbing me in the heart/back/whatever (so to speak). I was friends with all of the girlfriends I've had so far after the breakups.

Should singers who use autotune qualify for music awards? Seems like giving a guy with 3D printers credit for being a sculpture

Do you think the Americans will invade China because of Corona virus like what they did to Iraq?

ColorStorm:
Of course not, everybody (except a few ignorant racists) understands that viruses can happen to arise from anywhere where the right set of circumstances happens to come together and the right random genetic mutation happens, not necessarily implying any kind of moral failing on their part and much less some kind of war-inciting aggression. It's possible that the virus was made in a lab, but there's no certainty about that, and even if it was it could have escaped by accident. Obviously it hurt the Chinese as much as it hurt America or anyone else... And besides that, going to war with China would likely set off World War III, which would probably mean nuclear holocaust for everyone, so it would be stupid even if we did have a reason.

Does something like objective journalism exist?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure it's possible in theory for journalists to escape bias, because we can never have all the facts, we can't access the view from nowhere, and not even taking the middle ground is necessarily objective or right.. in practice though, I think, it's more or less possible to get impressively close to neutral or at least neutral-seeming, depending on the subject matter.

LaDamaX:
What word or phrase makes you cringe every time you hear someone use it?

ColorStorm:
"woo" a.k.a. "woo woo", the term is such a puerile-sounding way of dismissing any mysterious, magical, profound, extraordinary, paradigm-shifting, etc. take on reality out of hand, as if reality is necessarily just a big block of shit and only what you can see could possibly be real.

ColorStorm:
another term that makes me cringe is "starseed", because it's so obviously just a way for New Agers to slake their egos.

ColorStorm:
like even if there is such a thing as starseed, in a categorical way where some people are and some people are not, it's obvious that people don't actually

ColorStorm:
know which people are starseeds and just call themselves that to feel superior to the average human

LaDamaX:
Kind of like empath? What the hell is a starseed? 😆

Wasserpistole:
What color do you like best, red, orange or yellow?

ColorStorm:
I hate the color yellow, it reminds me of pain, excessive yang, and spiritual immaturity. There are some exceptions, like I can appreciate yellow in some birds for example. Orange I used to dislike at worst, or feel completely neutral about at best, but I've grown a little fond of small objects or streaks of bright orange. It's just so vibrant, it's nice to dwell on. Red is okay, never hated it, never loved it, except maybe I've loved some deep, translucent red glass objects that remind me of my mom. =P I guess it's a tossup between orange and red.

In your opinion what product or service should be more affordable in your country?

ColorStorm:
Healthcare and college, should remove private interests from them making them government functions, or should at least regulate them, so that the prices aren't hiked up by profiteering, monopolies, patents, etc. Though healthcare has some problems with it that make it intrinsically expensive, like the fact that every time a new technology comes out to detect disease insurance companies are obligated to pay for it, regardless of how expensive it is.. not sure if this problem would go away (either automatically or with effort) by making it a government function or by regulating it, but I think projections of overall national health care costs are a lot cheaper with a single-payer plan for other reasons.

Templar:
If you've ever experienced Déjà vu, what do you think causes it ?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, I guess something like a short circuit in one's omnipresent (or at least many-present) consciousness. Or a temporary folding of the past and future together. Or maybe it's when someone has a precognitive dream and then years later they see the thing they dreamed about. Maybe it's a point in time that's particularly important to one's soul. Maybe we've lived the same lives before, even if eons ago. It could be a lot of things. But I don't buy the double-synaptic-nerve-firing theory because that would happen within milliseconds or microseconds of each other, while déjà vu feels more like it's the recollection of a memory, and memories work in an entirely different way...besides, the those types of physical, scientistic explanations are just a refuge for the closed-minded.

to clarify: the stock market is intellectual warfare to begin with, you're just trying to outmaneuver everyone else, so that's why i think it's perfectly fair..

Ok You're the Love Dr. 💯 Tell me: When/How soon is it appropriate to say (I love you) ? 🤯

ColorStorm:
I honestly have no idea. I actually doubt there's any specific thing that should happen or amount of time that should pass first, you just have to play it by ear. Of course, if you say it within like 3 days it may scare the other person away.. I think people are easily weirded out by people saying "I love you" too soon, I guess because a lot of people are desperate. Also, you should probably only say it when you feel like the other person is ready to say it too, because otherwise it makes things awkward if they can't respond with an "I love you too." But I wish "I love you" didn't have to be so political. I wish you could just say it when you feel it.

Surprise:
Legit it shocks me on the 1st day of meeting someone, can it be love?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, maybe? How long does it really take to become aware of someone's essence? I think sometimes I know a person's essence in seconds.. and can't you

ColorStorm:
know if you love someone as soon as you know their essence?

Surprise:
So... Rushing into things is 💯valid? Confused (define essence?) Like how do you see that? Lol i want to grow up but this is confusing!

ColorStorm:
You're probably just better off not listening to me and continuing to be wary of anyone who says I love you in one day. I just... hate to see someone shunned

ColorStorm:
for being too perceptive and knowing they love someone too soon. =P

ColorStorm:
Don't know how to define essence. It's like... personality, only a little bit deeper and simpler. It's like, if you consider someone's personality to be

ColorStorm:
archetypal, it's probably fair to say you're talking about their essence.

ColorStorm:
It's like their spirit, maybe?

ColorStorm:
The song they carry in their heart?

ColorStorm:
A person's essence emanates in everything they do.. though in some people more than others

ColorStorm:
or maybe some people just have more clear essences, idk

Surprise:
Love's complex? Lol (I'm just over thinking it) maybe a shot of tequila can help me see clearly? Cause I've been blind most of my life😂 is self medicating bad?

Surprise:
Ok dr but ... Like....What's the cutoff for shots? What's the maximum dosage in 1 sitting?

ColorStorm:
i don't know much about alcohol, just take it slowly enough that you don't get alcohol poisoning and die =p

ColorStorm:
and don't mix it with marijuana! you could suffocate on your own throw-up =p

ColorStorm:
also, this is obvious but, if you find yourself drinking too often, especially as a crutch, best stop before you become an alcoholic!

ColorStorm:
don't want to ruin your liver!

So your telling, if I don't love yet- them maybe I should get some prescription cocaine to get that high of love started?

ColorStorm:
haha no.....

ColorStorm:
that's only temporary and it's undirected

ColorStorm:
i guess. i've never used cocaine. also it's addictive1

ColorStorm:
i mean it's undirected love*

Surprise:
So your suggesting adderall? To be more aware of the presence of love and it change my heart rate? Possibly blur my vision? Make me euphoric to say I love'em?

ColorStorm:
I recommend al naturale in everything. :)

Omg!? I never thought of that! Mixing a lil bit of weed in with shrooms? Bring back 70s type of lovin'?

Wasserpistole:
I played one game and I really enjoyed it. You play as a person, a human, in a village full of animals that can talk and act like humans. And you have to make

Wasserpistole:
a living there. Buy a house, put furnitures in etc. You can plant fruit trees and sell them at the store. You have bank account, You can go fishing or hunt

Wasserpistole:
insects and sell them. You can talk to your animal friends, write them letters, give them gifts, celebrate their birthdays etc. etc. So there is much to do

Wasserpistole:
and that can in fact make you a little addicted to this world. You want to have a big house, to collect all fish and incests. Because you see there is also a

Wasserpistole:
museum in the game were you can donate stuff like fish, insects, paintings that you can buy on the black market, and also fossils, you'll find in the ground.

Wasserpistole:
So much to do. And I almost collected everything there is. I have the biggest house possible and over 2 million bells, somet. like Dollar, in the bank, Baby!

arman:
When is it OK to choose the lesser of two evils?

ColorStorm:
It's always prudent to choose the lesser of two evils when evils are your only options.

arman:
In that case, don't you feel that you're indirectly responsible for the evils things that the lesser evil does? How do you quell your conscience?

ColorStorm:
If I accurately chose the less evil, then even worse things would have been done if I'd made the opposite choice.

ColorStorm:
I did the best I could to minimize wrongdoings.

Wieselmann:
Should people who are not diagnosed with a depression not say that they are feeling depressed?

ColorStorm:
It would be ridiculous (and cruel, like Wasserpistole said) to silence people from expressing their depression. Not all depression is diagnosed, and, more importantly, "depressed" probably has multiple meanings.. a colloquial one, and a technical one. They may not have clinical depression, but they mean something when the say they're "depressed."

Templar:
Is everything that exists interconnected in some way ?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I think so. At least everything in this universe is interconnected in some way. Maybe there are other islands of existence out there that are more or less disconnected from ours/each other. But then, if they're connected even a little bit, in any way at all, that counts as being interconnected in some way. And, I think, logically, for us to postulate their existence is to postulate that they're in some way causally connected to us, according to the meaning of the word "exists" as I interpret it. And I feel that, yes, if there are other islands, universes, timelines, or whatever of existence, one can always find themselves experiencing any of them eventually, so they're connected via the soul of the experiencer if in no other way.

Templar:
I tend to agree, The big question is what connect everything. I propose some sort of consciousness. But that's vague because of our lack of understanding of

Templar:
what consciousness is.

ColorStorm:
Maybe this is what connects it all...https://xkcd.com/10/

Templar:
Surely monogamy can't be natural ?

ColorStorm:
someone (was it you?) asked recently in what percentage of relationships do we think people cheat, and the two answers I saw both were greater than or equal to 50%...which seems like strong evidence to me that serial monogamy is unnatural. I mean, like Sean says, maybe it's fine for some people, but it's wrong to make it a cultural/moral precept. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/

Templar:
No. I never asked that question. But I'm thinking Monogamy is not nature in action. Just y opinion

Templar:
What do you expect from life ?

ColorStorm:
I expected increasing desperation, suffering and insanity, then for some pain and fear to be added to the mix as my body begins to wear out, followed by death, and then maybe pain and suffering or bliss and fulfillment, depending on how lucky I am or how good the universe is.

Templar:
I'm sure you're not serious. but it does sound a bit like a metaphor for the plight of mankind,//suffering seems to be inheritant in mankind.

ColorStorm:
my parents were monsters as I was growing up and as a consequence I'm mentally fucked, can't work, can't talk to people, have been struggling and miserable all

ColorStorm:
my life, and i'm going to have to subsist on welfare eventually

ColorStorm:
i don't even want to deal with anything, like government agencies, because i can't stand up for myself so i'm going to go to an assisted living facility

ColorStorm:
i'm 100% serious

I hope you are not condemded to a legacy of what your parents traced for you. I hope you find a new path to a fulfilment of your expectations and freams

Templar:

Templar:
You are still young and your future is always and has always been n your hands, Liberations is just a choice away

Templar:

ColorStorm:
where this world is headed isn't pretty

Templar:
It seems sound to me

ColorStorm:
the environment is being increasingly poisoned with trash and chemicals, it's killing animals, we're destroying more and more land and sea wilderness at an

ColorStorm:
exponential rate, we're growing in numbers at an exponential rate, the economy is always growing exponentially, the financial model *depends* on it,

ColorStorm:
(and the stronger the economy the more environmental destruction)

ColorStorm:
it's unsustainable. we rely on the natural environment to live.

ColorStorm:
there will be massive shortages of food and definitely drinking water. there will be wars over it, society will collapse

ColorStorm:
people will kill each other over food and water, maybe even cannibalize each other

Templar:
not sure that's true. There is a ot of alarmist propagating false shit of impending doom on this planet. iIgnore it

ColorStorm:
humanity is too myopic to act on this until it's too late. otherwise we would have already.

ColorStorm:
you're not sure that we're destroying the environment at an exponential rate?

ColorStorm:
all you have to do is look up the facts

Templar:
IN about 300 years ther is going to be a Carbon Drought caused by todays Carbon emissyions reductions

ColorStorm:
or you're not sure that we depend on the environment to survive?

Templar:
The climate change emmissions fake news is causing thhis alarmism. This is nor true

ColorStorm:
50% of the rainforests are gone, most of it destroyed in the last 50 years, like 70% or something of sea wilderness is gone, the remaining fish are eating

Yes, forestation is dissappearing true

i didn't even bring up climate change because i know you don't believe in it. i brought up all the other obvious ways we're destroying ourselves.

Templar:
but it's okay at the moment

Templar:
The Earth is in Good shape , really

ColorStorm:
imo, the earth is dying, all you have to do is read a little to know that, and it's only getting worse

ColorStorm:
more species are dying out faster due to human causes than in any other mass extinction event

Templar:
That's the natural way of Earths evolution. This has been happening for the lasst 5000 million years.

Templar:
Change is inevitable an it's not human made only , It;s part of who we are , Earth, Eco system, Geology.

ColorStorm:
even if you say the change isn't human made, it doesn't mean we're not gonna be totally screwed by it in short order

Templar:
Yes I believe in climate change, but I believe it's natural not man made

Templar:
We are not screwed, Humans will always adapt as we have in the past

Templar:
Carbon graphs show carbon rises lag Temperature. I have studied this

ColorStorm:
imo, it'll be an extremely rocky adaptation. probably billions will die.

ColorStorm:
well, i'm not talking about climate change or carbon emissions

Templar:
therefore Carbon cannot be the reson for Earth's temperature rise. iT is something else.

Templar:
No one will die, Certainly we wont

Templar:
I base all my predictions on science , I have been a working scientist for the las 20 years

Templar:
correlation on graphs does not mena causality

ColorStorm:
i'm not talking about climate change or carbon emissions.

Templar:
The Earth was mmuch warmer in the past many times.

ColorStorm:
there are plenty of other ways the environment is going to hell quickly

Templar:
Tell me more of your fears ?

Templar:
It's easy to get Alarmed

ColorStorm:
i think i've summed it up above. just read up on environmental changes within the last 50 or so years.

Templar:
The environment is constantly changing. It;s part of who we are. It won;t caus e anything

ColorStorm:
it's not just changing, it's being destroyed, and it's not business as usual, it's being destroyed *quite* rapidly.

Templar:
Rain forests are cut down quicker than we can grow them. Thats true. but it's not a Danger yet

It will become a danger within the next 100 years

Templar:
How much does the consciousness of the Universe play a role of what happens in your life ?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. I would guess somewhere between .5% and 23%. But I also suspect that putting a percentage on it is meaningless, because all consciousness is connected and ultimately one anyway. Also I may be broken and bruised enough to underestimate the universal consciousness' interest and involvement in my life.

It's something we all struggle to comprehend. I can understand your answer as part of the question and how complex it really is

I don't think it's a big deal, or maybe not a concern at all. I don't really see whom it hurts, it just seems like one of those things SJWs are preoccupied with. If anything, "cultural appropriation" is a form of global sharing and also of honoring the appropriated.

Do you floss your teeth?

ColorStorm:
I use a Waterpik.

ColorStorm:
Flossing with actual floss is way too tedious, it makes my gums bleed, and the floss gets stuck between my teeth because they're too close together.

nachopee:
If your gums floss when you bleed then that means u don't floss enough or well enough

nachopee:
"floss when you bleed" lol you know what i meant

ColorStorm:
yeah, i figured, but there's the problem that a lot of my teeth are too close together to floss. like it's so hard to get the floss back down that i'm afraid

ColorStorm:
it'll break my teeth =p

ColorStorm:
so i can't really floss regularly

ColorStorm:
I guess it means the waterpik isn't enough.. but then, honestly, I don't remember whether I've tried flossing while regularly using waterpik

i mean i know i haven't, but i might have tried when i was using the AirFloss, but AirFloss sucks compared to WaterPik

Wasserpistole:
For your eyes and your heart, what is the most beautiful "creation" in the universe? Roses, athletic men, the night sky, the ocean, the laughter of children etc. etc. What is your answer?

ColorStorm:
Maybe the ideal female form, except for the body hair. Though by saying (physical) "form" I'm neglecting mind and spirit, which are also beautiful in some people. Though they're both heavily compromised--as much as the body itself--in most people because the world is so broken. Then there are other possibilities.. like children and especially laughing children, like you said. Or maybe some really beautiful, colorful animal like a peacock, or at least its tail, or some colorful rock like fluorite or something iridescent, or rainbows, or some kind of flower, etc. etc.

What’s something that really bothers you but you know doesn’t bother most people normally?

ColorStorm:
Bad grammar/misuse of homophones (like your/you're). But I guess there's a fair number of other grammar Nazis out there. But one thing that peeves me that others don't seem to notice is using "it's" instead of "its." It seems that even people who are otherwise proficient in English make that mistake. I often even see it in articles and headlines and stuff, places where the writers would be presumed to be professional.. so I'm guessing it doesn't peeve enough people off.

It would be really neat to have a kid with a girl I like, and I think my DNA deserves to be spread.. but, on the other hand, it's selfish to raise a child in a world like this, especially nowadays with what lies ahead. And also I'd make a terrible father (so no, I wouldn't want to adopt either).

[2021-07-21]

Templar:
No amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future.

ColorStorm:
The point of regret isn't necessarily to try to change the past. It's to remind you not to make the same kind of mistake again. Regret serves a purpose, and I see categorically denying it as immature and flippant. Don't confuse it with guilt, though, which is nothing but poison.

I can't. But it's not so much whether I deserve it but whether I feel like I do. Two completely different things.

Are designer babies ethical, in your opinion? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designer_baby

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. I'd say it's probably for the best (make people better-looking, cure diseases...why not?) as long as the science is good enough not to mess the person up (given the complex and interrelated/holistic nature of the genome), if not for the fact that I suspect that the DNA combines, and maybe mutates, in a way that serves/resonates with the spirit/intentions of the conceived, so artificially modifying the DNA could be against the offspring's will/life path. On the other hand, most people are ugly AF, whether it's because people's psyches/energies are distorted, or because their spirits aren't effective enough at controlling their genome formation, or because of loveless sex/sex between people who have settled for/compromised with each other, or because DNA combination really does happen just randomly, or whatever other reason(s), so maybe the genepool could use a little intervention.. =P

ColorStorm:
I don't really mind the wealth-inequality aspect to it because I figure, if genetic modification is actually propitious for the offspring, then it's better that

ColorStorm:
some people get it (i.e. the rich), even if only a few, than that nobody gets it.

ColorStorm:
if the rich come out looking better and being healthier than everyone else oh well, at least somebody got to, it would be absurd to say nobody can reap the

ColorStorm:
benefits just to be fair..

ColorStorm:

Is it easy for you to get to know new people or does it cost you a lot of energy?

ColorStorm:
Idk, socializing isn't easy for me, but I don't remember any particular time I wanted to get to know someone and it was hard. Unless you count online dating sites, especially trying to get *them* to know *me*. It's not a matter of energy, though; I have limitless mental energy.

How do you feel about shows being inclusive for the sake of being inclusive? Brigerton takes place in Victorian England, yet half the actors have a year-round tan..

Have you ever paid attention to the lyrics of Billy Joel's song "We Didn't Start the Fire"? I believe this man is not right in the head. "Joseph Stalin..Rockefeller..We didn't start the fire..we didn't light it but we tried to fight it." What do you say?

ColorStorm:
I don't get it, why is he not right in the head?

Because it looked like he thinks Stalin and others mentioned that are clearly evil tried to stop the fire, tried to stop everything bad.

maybe they are the fire that we tried to stop

Wasserpistole:
When you are poor at the age of 35, do you deserve it, is it your fault?

ColorStorm:
"deserve" and "your fault" are baseless concepts just rooted in spite. Everything that happens has a reason, and a reason that reason happened, etc. If something is your "fault," did you deserve to have that fault? if you "deserve" something bad, is it your fault you deserved it? Even going by the plebian notion of "fault," though, the answer is no. There are various disabilities that could cause one to be poor. In the US if you have a disability and don't have enough work credits (which you've had the disability long enough that you were never able to work), the amount of welfare you get isn't even enough to rent an apartment. And a lot of, maybe most, homeless people have undiagnosed mental issues that prevent them from working. Is it "their fault" they have mental issues? That would be a pretty uncompassionate point of view..

Andy:
A criminal has been condemned to death, what do you think is the most appropriate method of execution (i.e. electric chair, lethal injection, gunshot, lifetime in prison etc.)?

ColorStorm:
I don't believe in the death penalty so lifetime in prison. Though if it has to be the death penalty, then a gunshot to the head, from a shotgun so you know it'll do the job the first time. I wouldn't say lethal injection because 1. they'll have time to know they're dying, and 2. people have had horribly slow, botched deaths using lethal injection, IIRC it's because doctors have a sworn oath not to harm so they refuse to make the potion so it's really hard for them to find anything decent to use.

Programming languages have functional purposes. HTML, as a markup language doesn’t really “do” anything in the sense that a programming language does. HTML contains no programming logic. It doesn’t have common conditional statements such as If/Else. It can’t evaluate expressions or do any math. It doesn’t handle events or carry out tasks. You can’t declare variables and you can’t write functions. It doesn’t modify or manipulate data in any way. HTML can’t take input and produce output. Think of it this way: you can’t compute the sum of 2 + 2 in HTML; that’s not what it’s for. This is because HTML is not a programming language.

ColorStorm:
Same with SQL and regex. Fun fact, though: I think someone figured out CSS is Turing-complete and figured out how to exploit that fact..

Same as my previous answer. Prison has to be better than going to war, maybe dying, maybe coming back with PTSD, damages from compression waves from explosions, etc. Even if I wanted to go to war to serve humanity, I'd be completely inept and clueless at it, I'd have no idea at all what I'm doing.

Wieselmann:
Whats a little thing that happened years ago but that you still remember from time to time?

ColorStorm:
A lot of the things that randomly come to mind from time to time are very mundane, but stick with me because at the time I thought about what I was thinking about, and about my thoughts on my thoughts on what I was thinking about, etc. etc. until I included the whole cosmos/self. One example is when I was in a long line for a ride and staring at a white rocky wall. Another example is eating ice cream at the Miami Seaquarium with my niece. There's also tons and tons of mundane events that I remember forever that come to mind randomly for totally unknown reasons, probably hundreds of them. One example is me sitting with my head in my arms on my desk in Health & Sex Ed. class in high school and a black guy came in to speak to us about something that day and he said to me, "what's the matter, love pass you by?" Most of little things I remember I can't bring to mind at a prompt such as this, they come to mind when they feel like it.

Sin is a religious concept afaik. Religion only belongs to humans.

Can you sin if youre not religious ?

ColorStorm:
Only from the perspective of a religious person. Though *sometimes* "sin" is used in a non-religious way. Like, for example, calling the worst thing one can

ColorStorm:
supposedly do the "original sin."

ColorStorm:
I think in those cases, when "sin" means evil, well... I'm not sure. I think animals can be evil, but it's less evil in a sense because they don't have the

ColorStorm:
awareness to know they're evil or to do better.

ColorStorm:
but there are intelligent aliens, and they can probably be ev il.

I think original sin is the sin of Adam and Eve passed down to human kind. Personally Sin is any evil act by mankind

sin basically means evil, yes, but i think only religious people frame evil as 'sin'

I don't remember. Many years ago. To the second question, both. It's a nuisance, it makes you feel cold and want to put on blankets, but you can't put on too many or you'll overheat. And if the fever gets *too* bad, you can get brain damage. But at the same time I know it's necessary to combat the virus/bacteria. Actually I guess fevers only help with bacteria, but they come when you have a virus too? I don't know, I'm not a doctor.

ColorStorm:
Miranda Cosgrove. On other questions similar to this people say that they wouldn't use magic to make someone fall in love with them because that's a violation of free will or because they want to be loved for who they are or whatever, something like that. But I think anyone could love anyone if only they truly knew them. (Or at least I feel that way about ME.) As my first girlfriend said, "To love someone is to know that you love them. Not to love someone is not to know that you love them." People like, love, dislike or hate other people for rather incidental reasons, and even without magic people manipulate those reasons.. so might as well take control if I could.

Wieselmann:
What bothers you more about the corona virus? The financial crisis or the deaths that it causes?

ColorStorm:
The financial crisis only bothers me insofar as it might cause deaths or otherwise suffering of its own. People losing jobs, not being able to support themselves, and if the government just gives everyone money there'll be hyperinflation and that won't solve anything. And people not necessarily being able to get goods and services that they really need. That's the only reason I want the government to balance the death toll with the economic toll.

ColorStorm:
Though, to be honest, I worry that I'm prioritizing the security of society (and therefore my own security) over the environment with my above position, which

ColorStorm:
is the whole problem humanity is having in this age.

Is self-improvement masturbation?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. I can definitely make an argument for it being masturbation: Life isn't about you. Self-improvement is narcissism. And all the ways in which we think we're supposed to be better are probably just culturally infused garbage anyway. There may be some ways in which self-improvement is prudent though. Like if it leads you to be more compassionate and give to the needy, etc., then sure. Though I'm not sure you can really*make yourself* more compassionate. But I guess you can unlock the compassion that's already in there, or at least stop stopping yourself from expressing it out of pure momentum. That brings me to a more general way you can legitimately self-improve: to become more like your true self. Like wishing off a golden nugget you found in the dirt. I have a feeling that can't be forced or rushed, though, because outside of the natural process by which that happens. we wouldn't know what's moving more in the direction of what we are or away from it..

Wieselmann:
Does randomness exist?

ColorStorm:
It depends on what you mean by randomness. Some people consider randomness to be unpredictability, and it's obvious that some (most?) things we can't predict. Then there's randomness as in events/possibilities that are realized in an uncaused (or partially uncaused) way. Some people call this "absolute randomness." It's where one thing or another happens for no reason whatsoever. As far as science is concerned, the jury is out as to whether absolute randomness exists. Quantum mechanics seems to indicate it; it's a fundamentally probabilistic theory, and it seems that the randomness goes deeper than just our inability to predict quantum events, but as far as I know that's not proven. Some people still hold out for determinism, and there are deterministic interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, but I consider them pure speculation as long as those theories can't actually predict those individual unpredictable quantum events, which they can't. Personally, I don't think that the world is deterministic, but I think it's a very popular and deep-seated misconception to think that the only alternative to determinism (i.e., total mechanical causation) is "absolute," meaningless randomness. It's because of the scientism infused in culture and our fundamental mindset that we think of everything wholly mechanistically, and it's because of this mechanistic thinking that we think that things must either be 100% deterministic or they must have some amount of totally meaningless randomness. The truth is that quantum randomness is neither deterministic nor meaningless, because life/the world is fundamentally non-mechanical. Apparent mechanicism only applies on a macroscopic level, where the *aggregate* effects of life are dominant. To imagine the world is neither deterministic nor partially meaninglessly random is tricky, because of all the cultural conditioning in our heads, but it's where the magic lies. To see life itself as non-mechanical is to allow in our thinking the magic that's inherent in nature, instead of continuing to attempt to stamp out and quash all magic and make the world into a dead and dreary place. It's also the answer to the typical argument against free will.

It's complicated. Evolution creates the context, but ultimately it's consciousness (which is universal, not a product of evolution) doing its thing within that context. IOW evolution *uses* consciousness (and probably vice versa).

Templar:
very interesting but I still associate evolution with consciousness, and consciousness as equal to evolution

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it." What you think about this quote by H.L. Mencken?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea whether it's true or not, it could be. Or at least, people who want to save humanity might typically want to do so with an iron fist. On the other hand, it's possible that Mencken's basis of consideration was skewed by the fact the he was only considering actual rulers, while the type of person who would actually become a ruler--a small subset of the people who want to save humanity--of course is the type of person who wants to rule..

ColorStorm:
Brushing my teeth, waterpiking and mouthwashing, trimming and washing my face and putting on some Olay, masturbating and maybe drinking a Starbucks Doubleshot to put myself in a good mood for a while, drinking a Coke when I feel awful to put me in a better mood, listening to music--usually either goa-psy trance, chillout dreams, or sleep music.. as you can see some of these things are psychological selfcare at the expensive of biological health =p

What do you drive? I have a white 2020 kia optima

ColorStorm:
I don't drive. When I did drive, my first car was an Isuzu Impulse (just something we found for cheap. At least it was an unusually shaped car.) I think I broke it by never bothering to change the oil. My second car was, I think, a red Toyota Corolla. Just something we happened to find. I was supposed to be getting a white Honda CRX with automatic transmission (awesome looking car) from my dad's friend, but it was taking way too long and I thought it would never happen so I got the Corolla instead. Then like a week or two later we finally got it and it went to my sister instead. Sigh. I did drive it a lot, though. My sister, my dad and I all drove it. Now it's a rusted piece of junk in my other sister's friend's driveway.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and my parents once got me a Mercedes Benz that sat in the driveway for years and rusted because I never drove it, I guess because it had a

There were a few months when I didn't have a bucket hat and I was taking a Spanish course in college so I wore my baseball caps and the professor once commented that I have a different colored hat on every day. 😂 I've been wearing hats (mainly bucket hats) for decades.

RE: Wireless Technology Your take on crusty boomers lighting up 5G base stations and towers?

ColorStorm:
I don't know enough about it to say whether 5G is dangerous (or, more dangerous than 3G, 4G, etc.). I heard that scientists had been saying it was dangerous years ago, but I don't know if that's true. I also heard that the intensity and wavelength aren't high enough to be ionizing radiation, which means they can't break chemical bonds so they can't damage your DNA and so forth, and that the radiation levels pale in comparison to the sun's radiation (though I don't know if they mean for that particular wavelength). But I'm betting they're not taking into account the unnatural on/off patterns in the radiation necessary to transmit data and that they would have no idea how to take that into account if they wanted to, other than doing actual testing, and even then they may not test everything that's relevant because of their limiting worldviews w/r/t what things may actually affect what other things. Of course, burning some 5G base stations probably isn't going to change anything ultimately, and it could land you in prison (though I heard recently that arson is one of the hardest-to-solve types of crime), but then, sometimes grassroots activism is all you can really do..

here's the quick rundown: the sun is a deadly laser because UV, right. way above the energy spectrum than what is used for RF tech

of course, you can melt a candybar using a 1950's radar, and I hope you don't sit next to one, because of these reasons you said.

but cellular tech has come a long way, we NEED to save energy for it to be viable, and that is key for my argument, boomers had it far worse!

of course, there's the meme of a phone heating up your head, I mean ffs have you talked with a modern phone, that thing is leaking energy all the time…

Who created God ?

ColorStorm:
I think *something* must have always existed, might as well be God..

Templar:
I guess it's all about our definition of what God is

ColorStorm:
I agree. God is a hard thing to pin down. I like this definition of God by God himself: "I am everything that is, everything that is not, and everything in

ColorStorm:
between."

Templar:
very good, but that's confusing and a get out clause. I prefere to think God is the univrsal conscious ness of the Universe

ColorStorm:
I do too. That's completely compatible with my definition.

ColorStorm:
I mean, given that the statement was obviously made by a coherent consciousness..

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure what you mean by a get out clause. I like the definition because it shows the utter *completeness* god experiences.

Templar:
true, maybe, but then you assume consciousness is all tht exists

Templar:
I 'm not sure I knew myself what I meant by it..

ColorStorm:
yeah, it's true that there's a small distinction between our definitions. yours focuses on the consciousness of all that exists, while mine is all that exists,

ColorStorm:
while all that exists happens to have a unified consciousness

Should brands and commercial companies be involved in politics? Does politics increase or decrease sales in your opinion?

I don't know whether it increases or decreases sales. As for whether they should, I suppose it depends on whether they're on the right side, or the wrong side. On the other hand, advertising that they're on the wrong side could hurt their business which would be a good thing..

WachalPharoh:
That in itself is a tricky statement as there are always ppl on each side, what would be the definitive right side? Seems like a mess most would want to avoid.

Does agape, as in truly selfless and unconditional love, truly exist? Can one feel this, even for strangers? Enemies? The most despicable?

ColorStorm:
IMO it does, and I think it's weak/rare in humans, but it's possible for a human to feel this. It takes someone exceptional or someone who's worked on themselves a whole lot, who's introspected and gotten over their fears, issues, unthinking reactions, etc. or maybe just someone who's in touch with something deeper within. I think you can feel love for strangers, enemies (if you were sufficiently advanced you wouldn't call anyone your enemy), and the most "despicable."

Personally I think it was an irresponsible magazine and mocking Islam was distasteful as it insulted millions

Islam is toxic for sure, but not sure it's fair to judge as a mockery in a publication

What would you answer if your partner asked you if you would have sex with his/her best friend to save her/his life?

ColorStorm:
Chances are her friend would be ugly (most girls are), they might even be male, but I'd do it anyway.

ColorStorm:
There's no chance of me having a girlfriend because of my selective tastes, but it doesn't change my tastes. =P For most people the idea of kissing them is

Sort of. Sometimes I can't sleep but I don't want to work on something like a project because my brain isn't fully online. And sometimes it's because I've been working on or thinking about a new project that I'm too excited to sleep in the first place.

Today was a 💩 day. My computer took a dump in the middle of math. When is the last time you experienced technical difficulties that created a stressful situation for you?

ColorStorm:
Sometimes my external drive, which I use for backup, randomly stops working until I play with it. That's only mildly stressful, though. Seriously stressful? Driving my car with the cracked engine block or whatever the problem was and breaking down in the middle of US1 in my hometown, the suburbs of Miami. I'm clueless about a lot of grown-up things, and one of those things is how to get my car safely off the road. I sat there in my car in the middle of the road for hours until a few people were nice enough to pull me off.

Oh man.... glad you got out of that situation safely.

Which one of your personality traits is a double-edged sword—a trait that can be a positive as much as a negative?

ColorStorm:
It seems to me that a lot of, maybe even most, traits in people end up being double-edged swords! Hence "hell is other people." I guess for me, I'd say one is my strong ethic. The flip-side to it is that I tend to be ultra-judgmental of others who lack it.

Yes, it's unfortunate that Hollywood spices things up with half truths probably to sell the movie to a wider audience

[2021-06-16]

Wieselmann:
Did you ever have hallucinations? What was that like?

ColorStorm:
I've had auditory and olfactory hallucinations, but never visual, though I've had powerful visions. I heard a voice in my head three times. The first time it was an androgynous voice, or maybe like a male and a female at the same time. It was clearly a hallucination and not just imagination, but at the same time I could tell that it was just in my head. The first voice came when I was so exhausted from psychosis that I was leaning on the wall for support. It said, "The power of the gods is in the archetypes." The second hallucination came when I was about to go to the theater to watch The Haunting. I was wearing jeans ripped most of the way up and a silk shirt. The voice said, "It'll be easier for you if you wear thicker clothing." I didn't know it at the time, but it would be really cold in the theater. Also, there was some impressive evil in the movie, and due to my state of mind it seemed to go directly into my subconscious. I think the coldness was a factor. A couple of years later my psychic friend Arlen was regressing to childhood, and he said there was a buggy in my heart and asked me if I'd ever admired evil. (I did while watching the movie. I had no choice, it was so beautifully portrayed.) The third one requires a bit of backstory. I've always wanted to give affection to (kiss, etc.) a cute girl more than anything. I used to be able to send a pulse of energy from my heart toward girls I desired. (I once tested this on a friend of mine who used to be able to see auras. I sent a pulse at her without telling her while she was looking at me, with no accompanying physical action to alarm her, and she suddenly opened her eyes really wide, like she'd just seen something amazing. The most powerful pulse I ever sent was to this girl sitting in the front row in English class, at at the same instant, the teacher, who was talking at the time, lost her voice for a second.) Anyway, one day I was lying on the couch sending pulses out over and over to nothing, and I told myself I was "practicing," but deep down I knew it was foolish. Then a voice said, "You've got to stop throwing out your extension cords." When I eventually ended up in the psych ward, the person who interviewed me (who turned out to be a very special person, way more psychically aware than anybody else I'd ever met) asked me if I'd heard any voices. I said yes and told him what the voice said that time, and he said, "That's true." As for the olfactory hallucinations, there was a period of time where, whenever I had a thought/belief that was hopeful, I'd smell this beautiful smell that I called "the beginning of the beginning." It was like the smell of a beautiful blue-green astral flower, or maybe an ideal perfume without any of the stuffiness. The amazing thing about this smell was that I smelled it *with my whole body.* I never had any idea that was even possible. Whenever I had a hopeless thought/belief, I smelled this evil smell that I called "eternity" and likened to the end of time where the only thing souls were doing was trying to eat each other. Around that time I went to the mall, and there was a kiosk there with some incense. I smelled a few, and one of them smelled exactly like that smell. I *knew* without even reading the name of the compartment it came from that it would be called "eternity," then i read the name of it to check, and it was. As for the visions, if you're curious even though they weren't exactly hallucinations, one of them that came in really powerfully was of a beast swallowing a rose. That one came while I was talking to a particular girl on the telephone hoping to get her to want to be my girlfriend. Another vision that came to me was of the earth, with an huge angel about 2/3rds the size of the earth next to it. It wasn't the typical angel shaped like a human with wings, it was shaped vaguely like a cross between an octopus and a Pac-Man ghost, and it was made of thousands of points of variously colored lights swarming around. I called it "ColorStorm," which is where I got that username from.

ColorStorm:
There were lockers in the hallway walls, people would walk in and crowd the halls between classes, by the time the bell rang the halls were empty.. that's about the extent of the similarity. I never saw any drama go down in the halls, for example.

I have a photo of my ex girlfriend in bright direct sunlight up. Comment: Her skin is old and full with bumps and wrinkles. It is not attractive. - Your thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Is it the main photo on your page? I think she's very attractive. But then, I am 43 (just celebrated my birthday yesterday), and I find that the limit to age that I can tolerate or appreciate gets higher as I get older.

Kate:
Yes, it is that photo. And she is only marginally younger than you. Her face is carved by life and a Covid infection that did cause her to loose much weight.

Kate:
So the face lost the softer features that were there with more weight. And the skin is not like the typical edited beauty-photos but that of a real woman.

Kate:
You and me are in the same boat I think. While getting older we recognize the beauty of people more independent of their age.

ColorStorm:
My whole soul itches when I can't explain to someone why they're wrong, but 99% of the time I don't because I really don't like confrontation / getting on someone's bad side. Also because there's no point because you can never change anybody's mind about anything anyway. And usually I don't respect the people enough to care to try anyway, or at least so I often convince myself (at least when it comes to IRC people).

WachalPharoh:
I can understand that, I personally will state my stance on a topic if asked, and why I believe said stance, but won't try to pressure or convert.

When they accidentally glued my eye shut at the hospital following a car accident (somewhere around 15-20 years ago) and they had to pull my eyelid back open.. I was afraid for my eye. I was terrified. I was at the point of surrender. I don't remember how I was reacting exactly, but I remember a nurse saying, "he's not going to take it." (They eventually succeeded somehow.) The next day my very psychically sensitive friend said there was a lot less misunderstanding in the Universe.

What was your most dangerous encounter with an animal?

ColorStorm:
Not sure, but a couple of incidences come to mind. One, when I was a kid, we were at some stranger's house and I was in their backyard swinging on their swing, when their (big) dog walked right in front of the path of the swing and I couldn't stop.. I ran right into him, and then he opened his mouth against my face so that his top teeth were on my forehead and his bottom teeth were on my chin, or something like that.. fortunately, my velocity I still had from the swing pushed him off of me before he bit.. In another incident, I was at the everglades with my friend on the Anhinga trail, and I dropped the expensive (top-end) rechargeable batteries to my camera outside the trail.. the trail was elevated so the batteries were too far down for me to reach them, so I climbed over the rail to get to them.. while I was outside the trail, an alligator made a really fast motion toward me, and I got back over that rail pretty quickly. =p (You don't have to tell me I was an idiot..:p)

What are the requirements for something to be possible?

ColorStorm:
It must be consistent with the rest of reality. The existence of the phenomenon must not lead to paradoxes. Maybe in some realities paradoxes can actually happen, with explosive, cascading and unpredictable results, but this reality doesn't seem to support them. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think we need to have a theory in our mind of how something could potentially, mechanically work for it to should be considered possible. There are lots of things we don't understand. Some of those things defy intuition. Some of those things that happen and defy intuition are part of the bedrock of scientific knowledge.

As the time for sandals or other open footwear rises again: Are you the type to wear socks in it?

ColorStorm:
When I used to wear sandals I wore socks with them. I find socks with sandals elegant, and feet are ugly. I've never understood this huge thing people have against socks with sandals, other than it being just another bandwagon people like to jump on. Though I wouldn't wear socks with the kind of sandals that go between your big toe and the next toe, that's just awkward.

Kate:
In Japan they actually have sandals AND a type of socks that are a matching pair.

Kate:
The socks have two tiny compartments, one for your four tiny toes and one for the biggest.

I recently saw a picture of Egyptian socks from thousands of years ago that were made for the same purpose.

It's ridiculous to say "you can't celebrate someone's death" or "you can't hate someone" or "you can't kill someone" or whatever "*unless* it's ." Now *that's* what's tacky.

"Treat people according to how you are, not how they are" (paraphrased because I can't remember exactly how it went). What Sean said. Treating shitty people shittily won't teach them a lesson or make either one of you a better person, it'll just add more toxicity to the cesspool we call humanity, and probably reinforce their worldview of interpersonal shittiness.

I wouldn't wanna be mean to it, it's bad enough it has to be caged up its entire life :'l

Have you ever seen the movie The Revenant?

Because the movie wasn't as badass as the man's true life story (hence JP would be carrier irl) >https://youtu.be/bW-yVdlT3Tg

ColorStorm:
I watched it, the end of the line was rather anti-climactic, but then I guess revenge is a fool's errand to begin with (and also it probably made sense to

ColorStorm:
leave him), so I didn't feel too bad for him. But yeah, it was interesting..that guy was DRIVEN.

Surprise:
How far would you have persisted in the name of revenge?🙃

ColorStorm:
I would've shot him even though he was a soldier and then fought the military to the death, killing as many people who tried to kill me as possible...No j/k,

ColorStorm:
probably at most I'd scream into the air and file him under "shit" in my mind and that'd be it. =p

Why slaves have names ?

ColorStorm:
No matter how shittily we treat people because it's convention, people will give them the most basic of human dignities if it's at no cost to them and it lights up the right neurons in their brains or releases oxycontin or whatever. Just like no matter how well we like someone, when they're no longer useful to us we'll probably throw them to the curb.. either way it's a lack of human integrity. Though another thing is, don't their mothers name them? At least their mothers would love them if nobody else.

i guess. i was thinking it means i'm always wearing metaphorical masks, for protecting others among other possible reasons =p

it is a little odd that i didn't think of the coronavirus as soon as i read 'mask ' though

What emotion/feeling would you like to experience that you didn't yet?

ColorStorm:
The feeling someone who's very emotional and/or very horny gets when they have sex with a good-looking person. There's no "yet," though, I'll probably never experience that.

ColorStorm:
I'd also like to experience heroin, but I never will because I'd get addicted (among other reasons).

LaDamaX:
That escalated fast... heroin? Why that particular pharmaceutical?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I just think of it as probably the best-feeling drug.. not sure how I got that impression when I've never done any drugs. But also I like the

ColorStorm:
idea of a relaxed high better than an excited one

ColorStorm:
I did read that it's like having an orgasm for five minutes.. and then one or two other stages of niceness (whose description I forget) for an hour or two.

Maybe I want an escape, and being tranquilized sounds very escape-ish to me.

Genuinely? I don't know, I'm not sure how offended is "genuinely" offended. I've been offended sometimes, but I just brush it off, it's not very important.

ColorStorm:
Actually I guess I was genuinely offended once (or at least wounded), but I don't want to talk about it.

LaDamaX:
I think sometimes we can respond as if genuinely offended because we think we should be. Being genuinely offended would be feeling sadness or anger as a

result of the other person’s action.

Oh, I would never respond like I'm angry just because I think I should be. I can't imagine that.

Everything has a negative side. Two sides of a coin and so on. What are the negative sides of the omnipresent topic of science in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Science told us for decades that dogs were evolved from wolves.. now just recently they've found that we didn't domesticate wolves, we domesticated dogs. I saw some pundit author talking about how that's the beauty of science, that it's self-correcting, but he didn't consider the flip-side of the coin: society blindly believes everything science tells us, and sometimes it's just assumptions.. The worst assumption science makes that has been firmly embedded in the zeitgeist is that everything is made up of non-living stuff--everything is material--and behaves purely according to clockwork mechanics. It makes our world a dead, dreary, and mundane place. It also makes people disbelieve in God and the afterlife and causes them to dismiss their own personal experiences they have (and most of us do have them) with the paranormal. More generally, the problem is scientism per se.

ColorStorm:
scientism causes us to want to "explain away" anything mysterious, magical, extraordinary, potentially paradigm-changing, etc.

I also went to swimming lessons once (my aunt took me..no idea why), and all I remember from it was being terrified because they held me under water.

What's with all these people saying they can't hate someone who gives them a lot of money? How self-centered can you be, that you love or hate someone solely by how well they treat you personally?

Considering how many celebrity crushes I have/have had, they must be. Unless it's just that celebrities are so pretty and portray larger-than-life personalities.. I think it's something about the fame too, though. But I'm not like a girl.. a person having a very *low* social status isn't conversely a deal-breaker or even a turn-off for me.

People are just weird. I've always had a hard time relating to them. Less so as I get older. Also a lot of them are unfair, devious/corrupt, crude, dim,

ColorStorm:
callous, lacking in integrity, mean, etc. Some of those traits almost all of them are.

ColorStorm:
But the worst thing is that, since I don't think like normal people, I never know what expected/appropriate behavior is... in a conversation, at a job, etc.

ColorStorm:
Not knowing what expected decisions of how to react to various circumstances at a job is is made much worse by my extreme fear of embarassment

I would die for a cause that significantly improves the world, like, for example, going to a congressional meeting and shooting down all the republicans with an Uzi.

Wasserpistole:
And the republicans, especially citizens, hate the democrats too with a passion. Saying they are evil and vile and the scum of the earth. I read it over and

Wasserpistole:
over on twitter, instagram etc. How is that possible? Some people adore and love Donald Trump, others hate him with a passion. How is that possible? Life is so

Wasserpistole:
fucked up, most people have no idea.

What's your opinion about tiktok?

ColorStorm:
I haven't explored it much, I used it for the first time today. Twice I think. I don't know much about it it, seems to be just the Instagram for videos.. or he new Vine. (and wasn't Vine the new something else? I forget what the name was. They seem to just keep dying and reincarnating..) I got to see a ridiculously hot woman on TikTok and also got to see what Courtney Cox's daughter looks like, so I'm cool with it.

Kate:
Why do people regard bottoms and breasts as sexual though both body parts have nothing to do with sex or procreation?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. I doubt the butt thing is so directly related to the wide-hip thing as a couple of people mentioned. It's reaching. And check out baboon butts. https://www.google.com/search?q=babboon+butt&tbm=isch . That red inflammation is totally sexual. I think the sexuality of human butts probably operates on the same principle but is more refined. Sean has a good point about breasts being important for feeding children as an evolutionary-psychological reason for us liking them, but I doubt it's the full story. They're also particularly soft and sensitive, but I don't think that completes the story either. I think the human body is extremely aesthetic and is like an "artistic" representation of the soul or the entire cosmos, and in a way so is sexuality. The appeal of the body is holistic and mystical, and as mysterious as the cosmos itself. We may never fully understand it. If we do, our mentality, culture and connection to the world will have advanced beyond our current imagination.

Kate:
Very well put. Thank you.

What's a wild thing you've done completely on accident? Or maybe the wildest coincidence in your life you can think of? For me it was the time I accidentally 69'd

ColorStorm:
Got a girl to fall in love with me. I was indifferent about getting a g/f at the time so I wasn't self-conscious when she messaged me and I was funny. And that's the way to make any girl love you - just be funny.

nachopee:
it's interesting how "sense of humor" is so commonly brought up when women are asked what they desire in a partner. I thought everybody came with at least SOME

nachopee:
sense of humor and I also thought it was a given regardless of gender that a compatible sense of humor is important

nachopee:
(this has little to do with your actual answer, it's just a thought I have whenever I see this shit talked about in dating circles)

ColorStorm:
Well everyone has a sense of humor, but not everyone has a knack for making others laugh. This is what girls like.

ColorStorm:
I guess they want to be entertained in exchange for gracing a guy with their presence. What do THEY bring to the table that takes any kind of effort? But that's

ColorStorm:
just the misogyny speaking, ;P TBH a guy who can make a girl laugh probably has a very healthy personality

ColorStorm:
and is confident, generous, light-hearted, etc

nachopee:
Yea the misogyny jumped out. Being able to make people laugh usually means they're charismatic and have social aptitude which are desirable things in a person

oh yeah, those too

Hitler wasn't actually evil.

Wieselmann:
what was he if not evil

ColorStorm:
Misguided

Wieselmann:
do you think evil people exist

ColorStorm:
His ultimate aim was to improve the world. In my book evil means pursuing your own pleasure, wealth, or whatever even at the cost of others' well-being

ColorStorm:
so he doesn't fit the bill since his aim wasn't particularly selfish

ColorStorm:
well, i think evil people exist, but I also think that evil is not an objective fact

ColorStorm:
it's subjective / in the eye of the beholder. i think, ultimately, everyone is innocent.. but we're not god, so it's okay to see some people as evil.

ColorStorm:
In CWG it says that, even though we determine what's evil, not seeing anything as evil would be the greatest evil of all

ColorStorm:
i would say that evil even exists as an energy (at least with respect to a particular frame of reference), but that frame of reference doesn't look 'all the way

nachopee:
If you had traditional schooling (as opposed to homeschool), did school come easy for you or was it a challenge? And why?

ColorStorm:
I hated school. It wasn't harder for me than it was for other people.. probably easier, because only once in a blue moon did I ever actually do homework at home or study, but I got by. In elementary school I got 60 minutes of detention \*every day\* for not doing my homework in any of my subjects, yet I got an award for second highest GPA or whatever three years in a row. I hated school because it felt like mental labor camp, just doing meaningless crap for hours and hours a day just because I was told to. I didn't *care* about learning all that crap. All I cared about in life was getting a girlfriend.

ColorStorm:
A couple of people mentioned they were good at everything but math.. math was one of my easiest subjects, I just got it intuitively. Algebra, trig, geometry, &c

ColorStorm:
Pre-calc I didn't do so well in. I would've had to study it at home, and I didn't, so I got a D.

ColorStorm:
in trig I slept all the way through the classes throughout most of the year and I still got an A for the course and 105 on the final.

ColorStorm:
The most unusual thing about me and school was that I had no friends in elementary school, only one friend in junior high, and no friends in high school

ColorStorm:
'cuz I was too shy / terrified of people to talk to anyone.

ColorStorm:
also my mom says i was bullied in junior high, by people in a lower grade than me no less. i don't remember that. i remember being bullied by one person in high

Wieselmann:
Do you pay attention to your diet so you're not getting fatter or do you just eat whatever you want?

ColorStorm:
I try not to eat when I'm not hungry or to eat too much, but I often go against my rule, because eating is the only way to fill the void/cure my boredom, and I sleep all the time so if I only ate as much as I needed it'd probably be like a tablespoon a day. But I do try not to eat too much unhealthy stuff and to eat lots of vegetables because I don't want physical problems.

Should we avoid topics like climate change and vaccination to not further destroy the harmony on retrospring?

Maybe. I mean ideally we could all discuss these topics like adults and not take it too personally or get too mean, but the reality is not necessarily the ideal. And there are so few people on this site that we need to try to stay banded together is much as possible, rather than separated into even smaller islands..

Are there technologies that don't need any more improvement in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Yes, the spoon for example. Honestly, we as a species don't need a lot of technology. All of this is just some kind of fever dream. The only technologies that need any improvement are the ones that trash the environment, either by leaving waste behind, by inefficiently consuming fuel or electricity, or by side-effects of their manufacturing processes.

Yes, in fact I had a container of them last night. And another one a couple of days ago. The only thing I don't like is that they're full of little seeds, so I just kinda chew without bringing my teeth together hard, so I end up swallowing the seeds without chewing them. But it's a minor inconvenience.

Do you like Soda Bread? Soda Bread is a type of bread that does not use any yeast to help it rise. Healthy for anyone allergic to yeast product.

Never heard of it, how does it work?

Templar:
There are many recipes, but it's generally an Irish bread. It can be bought through the USA. It is generally made with sour milik to make it acedic to mix

Templar:
with baking Soda. No yeast is added for making it rise but some natural yeast might be present. It's delicous with cheese-tomato

Templar:
In the United States, "Irish soda bread" generally means a somewhat sweet white bread made with eggs and butter and studded with raisins and caraway seeds

Cheese and tomato

I haven't actually dared to wear them yet though.

I actually ended up getting two different pairs for reasons, and it turns out they're different from each other

I was at a friend's house (I don't think this was a friend I actually have in real life), and he happened to know you (I don't think through RetroSpring) and he

called you up to get together to do something. I guess he liked you and wanted an excuse to hang out. Or maybe it was a straight-up date, i

ColorStorm:
don't know. So you came over. I wondered if you'd recognize me from RetroSpring and you did and you waved at me.

ColorStorm:
The right side of your head was completely shaved. The left side had long hair. =p

misty_river:
LOOL I like your imagination! Idk if you remember me but I used to be Bullets&Pie from years ago, I did have pictures of myself up back then.

In the dream he called you River. Which is strange since I don't really think of you as 'River', but I

know that that's what you real name translates to. But I don't know if people actually call you that IRL.

Kate:
When we decide to have children we think about our partner, probably. But we should think about grandparents too. Kids can get 25% of their genes. My daughter 1/4 my grandma? Fuck no!

ColorStorm:
That's not something that would concern me. I just don't feel like any children would inherit their grandparents' personality traits. I'm not even sure they'd inherit their parents' traits, except for when they're passed down through social influence. Children might miraculously inherit very specific behaviors from their parents or grandparents, but not evilness or whatever. Or maybe I just figure they could grow up evil or whatever anyway, for no apparent reason, so there's no point in worrying about the places this might come from. Also, if you're going to worry about what the child might inherit from their grandparents, you might as well worry about their great grandparents, their great great grandparents, etc. It never ends. (I realize 25% is more than 12.5% which is more than 6.25% etc., but still. I mean.. if 2 of their great grandparents happened to have been evil, that's 25%..and if you go back far enough the law of large numbers will dictate that the percentage of evil people in her blood will be the same as the global average anyway..) (Of course, we know that children aren't born being an average of everyone in the world, but that just means that the genes of closer ancestors override the genes of further ancestors, which means the parents DNA is probably much more important than the grandparents DNA..)

If only we could chose our relatives ....

After a certain length it stops being beautiful and starts being a novelty. It looks okay on her, because it's healthy and it doesn't taper out too much (not at all that I noticed, which is amazing), but even on her it's probably not any more sexy than it would be if it only went, say, down to her ass. She's kinda cute btw <3

Usually I find them cheap-looking, but I have a few pillows that are totally covered with sequins, and they're sewn on in a way that when you rub your hand over them they flip sides so the pillow changes colors and I think they're really cool. Not very comfortable to lay your head on though. ;/

Probably nothing, I'd let my gf handle it. I might worry that my gf would want me to stick up for our relationship and claim her, but I'd still do nothing because I'm socially inept and wouldn't know what to do.

Though I've heard that when you don't shower for a long time your skin develops a kind of thin film around it that makes it not smell.

What's been your worst experience with someone else's road rage?

ColorStorm:
One time my mom was driving, and when the traffic's backed up and people drive on the shoulder or sometimes in a lane that's closing in order to butt in later down the road to get ahead, she drives half way out of her lane to prevent them.. I don't remember whether she was doing that this time, but someone drove on the shoulder (or maybe it was just on a closing lane, idr) and tried to butt back in front of our car, and we kept inching up to the car behind us, but he wouldn't take no for an answer. He actually would have crashed into us while intruding into our lane if we didn't stop. He was very aggressive. So we let him in, and then I said to my mom, "why aren't you beeping at him?", and she beeped, then he stopped right in front of us in the middle of traffic (it had picked up just then) just to spite us. She beeped more, and he stopped for as long as she beeped. Then a cop came up along side us--did nothing to the person in front of us who was the one actually breaking the law, and he said to my mom, "Do you want to get shot?" to which she started to answer something in justification, and he said again, "DO YOU WANT TO GET SHOT?", then gave us a little lecture. The end.

Yea but aren't they all really? To believe that you and only u can run an entire country is very narcissistic.

And Biden is to different than Trump really. We got the vaccine fast but that's because Trump removed the protocols to produce it faster for better or worse.

CrustyD:
In a time of medieval war and conflict, what role would you best serve? A spy, archer, knight, bard or diplomat?

ColorStorm:
A diplomat since I think war is stupid and unnecessary and I'd want to minimize the terror. I once connected to a past life in which I was an orange giant (with a little bit of green) made of energy, and my psychic friend said that was in another timeline and I was a diplomat. He said life in that world was a struggle for energy, then he corrected it and said it was a struggle for love and that we were given lots of energy. It's probably because of my life-long existential struggle in this life that I connected to that past life, despite how long ago and remote it was.

Wieselmann:
How likely is it in your opinion that humans will ever build a civilization on another planet?

ColorStorm:
I honestly have no idea. On one hand, I think the idea that we'll colonize other planets is essentially idealistic, technologistic, futuristic thinking, much like the flying cars we were supposed to have by the year 2000. It may be 1000 years before we figure out how to transport enough people *that far*, and even then it may not be worth the effort. And if we do figure it out and do decide it's worth the effort, doing it without something going horribly wrong in the process could be a long shot. And I don't think civilization is going to last for many more decades, at least not as anything but a shadow of its current form. On the other hand, humankind may be around for thousands or millions of more years in some shape or form, and society may rebuild itself, and looking at how far technology's progressed (exponentially/explosively) in the few short centuries that science has been around, it seems reasonable to think we may figure out how to travel that far with a realistic amount of effort and how to colonize a planet once we get there.. but then, maybe by then we'll have a major cultural shift, including a shift in the way we see the world and our role in the universe, and we may not see a *need* to colonize other planets. Also, to colonize another planet it would pretty much have to be almost just like this one, or else it would require some kind of terraforming that would be much harder than simply revitalizing the planet we're already on..

Saater:
Do you think the concept of love or marriage is false ? Like being dedicated to one person? Can you be dedicated to one food? Is it psychologically madness?

ColorStorm:
Here's my answer from the last time someone asked about marriage: ----------------------- What do you think of marriage? What Kate said. It's based on a naive misconception that "true love is forever." On the contrary, everything changes; "the only constant is change." The heart isn't predictable and can't be tamed. I think marriage is an agreement that both parties enter for the sake of security. They don't want the other ever to leave them, so they "tie the knot" to bind them, and in that sense it's an institution based on fear and control. I also think marriage kills the romance by making it a formal or official arrangement, somewhat in same way that talking about doing something great that you want to do like writing a book deflates your passion for actually doing it. You know all those jokes people make about how marriage is hell? You'd think that would dissuade people from entering into it.. but not, people never seem to get the hint. I guess it's similar to how everyone knows smoking kills you slowly, drains your bank account, and is extremely addictive so that you suffer whenever you don't have a cigarette, and yet people smoke anyway. The only other thing I want to say is that people who get married should be aware that studies show that the more fancy and expensive the wedding, the shorter the marriage tends to last.. ---- I should mention that since posting that I ran across another thing saying that a study indicates basically the opposite thing.. not sure which is right. I personally like the first idea better. -- https://imgur.com/a/JgxY85A ----------------------- As for love, I don't think it's false at all, it's beautiful, but I do think that we're overly focused on/obsessed with romantic love and relationships since our modern lifestyle and mentality deprives us of the ability to live a spiritually satisfying life (as in being one with nature, the "power process," not being mired in analytical, mechanistic thought patterns, etc.) so it leaves only romance as an avenue for fulfillment--finding our happiness in significant others.

Sleep, chat with friends online, Retrospring, scroll Twitter and like and retweet stuff and occasionally reply, catch up with email (Python weekly, BoredPanda, Cracked, Quora, Daily Writing Tips, etc.), look at various websites I come across links to, listen to music (mostly di.fm/chilloutdreams, di.fm/goapsy, di.fm/deeptech though I haven't been listening to that one lately, and random links people post in music channels in IRC), watch TV (South Park, Family Guy, Conan, the Science Channel), jerk off to porn, sometimes I get around to working on programming projects, sometimes I read (currently in the middle of The Fundamentals of UNICULT, Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew about Quantum Physics Is Different, and The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics), sometimes I watch episodes of a course on quantum mechanics at thegreatcoursesplus, sometimes I write philosophical essays though I haven't had any new ideas in months, etc.

There are alot of strong women in the military. But women are failing basic training 65% more than men. Is it a good idea to place ourselves in jeopardy in the name of equality? https://sofrep.com/news/women-in-the-army-are-failing/

ColorStorm:
1. If they fail the basic training then they don't get to be in the military, right? Sounds like the problem solves itself. 2. If we ever actually have to defend ourselves again (as opposed to just intervening in other countries' affairs), I don't think it'll be physical combat that's important but piloting drones, flying jets, driving tanks, manning aircraft carriers and submarines, etc. These things probably have little to do with physical stamina. Though I guess it's possible that women are worse at those things too. But maybe they'd send the best people first? Though I don't know if they give people practice in all those things beforehand to know who's better at them.. idk. I'm not really worried though. We'll just throw more people/weapons at it until it's enough. Besides, if we're ever really seriously threatened again it'll probably just be nuclear holocaust and everyone's dead.

If we could read eachother's minds. Do u think it would make the world a better place?

ColorStorm:
It's hard to see how it wouldn't cause massive systemic improvements affecting all areas of life. Also, we'd have to be mentally/spiritually different in order to be able to read each other's minds in the first place, and that difference would also constitute a major improvement.

ColorStorm:
I can't believe so many people say it wouldn't help or would make things worse. They must have no vision or awareness, only doubt and narrowmindedness.

ColorStorm:
They're afraid of investing hope or positivity in something that could make life so much better

ColorStorm:
They can only see how it would disrupt things given the world as it is, they can't see how it would fundamentally change everything

Would Life be better if we did what we feel?

ColorStorm:
Good question. I think if everyone suddenly started doing what they feel, the would would be upheaved. There would be turmoil. But would it be worth it in the long run? We'd learn and mature more rapidly and on a deeper level, getting that feedback of consequences for what we really want to do. But there would be chaos and death. And would we be able to collectively/individually sustain ourselves, food-wise, housing-wise, etc.? If just one person decided to do what they feel, I think they'd quickly end up dead or in prison. I don't mean to imply by that that people are basically savage and immoral underneath. It's just that the world isn't made for people who do what they feel. One way to get a good perspective on how people would act if they just did what they feel would be to look at young children. That's pretty much all they do. So imagine if adults acted like children.. Of course, as adults we've matured some, but most of that is just superego built atop our suppressed id, so I think the difference isn't necessarily as great as one might think.

Sex is not only about where its vagina located...

ColorStorm:
i was kidding, but i'm not sure what else there is to know. everything about being good at sex is just intuitive. emotionally connecting, etc.

DUST:
I wouldnt say sex is just intuitive. If you want to make it pleasurable for your partner, you need to know how their body is. And ofc their tastes, mind...

ColorStorm:
what's there to know about their body that's not obvious from looking at it? (well there's the location of the clitoris, but other than that..) and tastes and

ColorStorm:
mind are specific to the individual, you said 'the opposite gender' as a generality..

ColorStorm:
can you name a fact about 'the opposite gender's body, tastes or mind that it would be good to know during sex?

DUST:
I never mentioned the word "body" in my question. I just think most of men don't know what women like when it's about sex tbh. They do what they like or what

DUST:
They think we like or they project what's important for them in us when most of time they couldn't be more wrong...

It's true that tastes are specific to every individual BUT I'd dare to say that women aren't as physical as men. I mean..obviously having sex is a physical

DUST:

Wieselmann:
What makes you so concerned about getting it? If there are bad side effects, they are so rare they should be worried about less than about covid

ColorStorm:
We have no way of knowing now whether there are any bad side effects that are likely to show up years after getting it and how likely those are.

ColorStorm:
and whatever side effects there are are probably much worse than getting covid for someone my age. i'm not particularly worried about getting it.

ColorStorm:
covid is temporary, side effects from the vaccine could be permanent.

Wieselmann:
we also don't know about the long term effects of covid. Its suspected that it can increase the chance of dementia in later years

Wasserpistole:
Give me one of your most happy moments in your life so far, if you want? (My first kiss and the way I felt after it, I was in such a good mood. Was def. one of my highlights)

ColorStorm:
Here's a copy of my answer to a similar question on Kiwi: I've had four moments of true happiness in my life, and they've all been completely different kinds of happiness. One was when I was at my family's log cabin in Michigan, I woke up and I suddenly just felt soo happy, I have no idea why. I was just so happy to be alive. So I stepped out of the cabin into nature and being there made me so happy that I literally laughed out loud for a second, uncontrollably.That's the only time I've ever been so happy that I had to laugh at nothing. Another time was when I was swimming in the pool with my little sister (who's very intuitive), and she had me stay still while she dumped a pale of water on my head. I closed my eyes. You'd think there's nothing scary about having some water dumped on your head, but for some reason that simple act entailed that I had to *trust* her, a kind of surrender. I think that was the key to what happened next.. I suddenly felt divine happiness literally in my heart (heart chakra or maybe solar plexus chakra). It was so subtle yet so real and something that was so far from my normal miserable empty experience. Anyway while in this state I was watching the trees blowing in the wind, and I could actually *see* the happiness of the trees or their leaves being tickled by the wind and the sun, because it was the same happiness in my heart. So now I know that trees actually are spiritually alive and sensitive and enjoy life. Sometime not too much later I overheard my mom saying that my sister had told her that a pain she'd had in her hand for years was magically gone. I think it probably had something to do with the divine presence touching my heart while we were in the pool. The joyous feeling in my heart that time was a living energy, like there was a kind of inner motion to it. Many years later I read somewhere, I'm pretty sure in The Power of Now, that some special state of consciousness--I forget how he described or named it, something like bliss or enlightenment or connection to and love for all life--is often attained by people who spend many years suffering and then have a moment of surrender. Another time I had to walk through the cafeteria of my niece's elementary school while it was chalk full of children, and I didn't have my hat on which I usually liked to wear to cover up my baldness. I actually felt like I looked a little bit freaky, because I had long wavy hair and was also partially bald. So I was really embarrassed but I decided to have courage and just do it. A minute later when I was back outside of the building walking along the sidewalk, I could perceive this *soft white* energy filling all the space and surrounding everything in it, and I felt so at peace and comforted by this energy--like it was God or something--that I smiled a *huge* smile for this little girl that was walking by me from the other direction, and it was genuine.. It would have taken more effort *not* to smile than to smile. Again, this is extremely unusual in my experience. That's actually the only time I can remember smiling and not being forced to, besides when I happen to be laughing at something. By the way, I was also carrying an open black umbrella over my head at the time even though it wasn't raining. =p The fourth time I was truly happy (fourth in this list, I mean--this probably isn't in chronological order), I was in a mall and suddenly randomly I felt an actual glow/source of light in the center of my heart (heart chakra or solar plexus chakra area) and I guess it kind of emanated from my whole being in a way because this kid who was in front of me randomly said hi to me.. that like *never* happens to me. All of these moments of happiness were truly sublime, but they only lasted a few minutes or maybe less each time. There was also another time I remember that could possibly have been the happiest moment of my life, it was when I got back home after having been on vacation for a few weeks with some relatives. The door was opened and my mom was in the living room vacuuming and I ran to her and hugged her. I don't actually remember how that felt, I just remember what I did, or remember remembering it, so I'm not sure if it was the happiest moment of my life or not. Also I'm not sure if there were other equally happy moments during my childhood that I just don't remember.

Wasserpistole:
Nice and they always came out of nowhere in a way. I never experiences something like that, maybe in the future.

When it comes to using a digital virtual medium to read, do you prefer E-books/Kindles or Audio Books more? Any particular reason why? If you prefer Audiobooks, do you like them to be done by a single narrator or a cast turning it into a dramatization?

ColorStorm:
I definitely prefer eTextbooks. I've never listened to a single audiobook. It's too personal/intimate to listen to some stranger's voice for a few hours, and it would color the contents of the book. Also with eTextbooks I can read at my own pace, easily back up and read a part again, etc.

A team of 5 experienced programmers would program something for you for free. What would you ask them to program?

ColorStorm:
There are a few things I want programmed but am either too lazy to do or I can't figure out how to use the necessary libraries. 1. I want to make a website called Rate My Idea (I have the domain already), where people submit ideas in various categories, from recipes to philosophy, and you can upvote or downvote ideas and view them in order of ranking. 2. I want to programmatically (in Python) make music using VST instruments and filters, and also make certain adjustments and save them as it's playing. That's just a brief description, it's a little more complicated than that. The problem is VST 3 is extremely complicated. JUCE is a C++ library that can use it, but it's too big and complicated for me to figure out. VST 2 is simple enough to be done purely in Python, but I couldn't figure out how to play it to audio as it's processing. 3. I want to view arbitrary 3D hyperplanes of the Julia set fractal, which is 4D, but I can't figure out how to use a single one of the volume rendering libraries I've found. IDK why everything is so forking difficult and how other people do it. I've been working on this for the last few days.

I'm not a Christian and prefer a mate who's not a Christian (and if she has "god fearing" in her profile then I'm definitely not matching with her), so no.

Wieselmann:
Do you often feel like you are the smartest person in the room?

ColorStorm:
When I was younger I was the smartest person in most rooms, but for a long time I never realized it. It wasn't until I realized how dumb most people are and I took a few IQ tests and looked at percentiles that I realized I was probably the smartest person in a given room, but I'm not sure I actually *felt* that way. On the other hand, I remember some years thinking I was smarter than *everyone* (I just hadn't met the right people yet), so I dunno. I think I might actually have or used to have a unique combination of mental faculties that makes/made me at least as quick and astute as the most astute people on the planet (such as unusual brightness, unusual imaginativeness, a tendency to see things from all possible angles, a strong intuition, a pure episteme (e.g. I'm open-minded and can be fiercely logical without being rationalistic), knowing when I have enough information to be sure about something and when I don't, vs. just assuming for psychological reasons like most people do, good emotional and analytical integration, deep and rich emotional/spiritual resources, etc.). I say "used to have" because I don't think I'm that smart anymore; my intelligence has dwindled over the years, probably as an indirect result of my severe emotional issues. Also, "smart" can be used to mean intelligent or knowledgeable.. I've never been much of the latter. Worldly facts are boring af.

What in your opinion is the ideal breakfast food/meal or spread if it is a combo of things?

I don't have any ideal in mind, there's a few different meals that are perfectly suited for breakfast (at least according to cultural consensus), but I guess my favorite is an egg, tomato, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, etc. toasted sandwich.

ColorStorm:
I accidentally drank a little bit of chunky milk once. That was nasty. And I hate a can of vegetables that was so old the vegetables were like gel. It was nasty. But I ate it anyway, I don't know why. I think it was past its "best by" date, but not too far past it...though I suspect I must have misread the date by a few years. =P

Have you ever developed a 'man crush' or 'lady crush' over someone? (A totally platonic crush on a gender you're not attracted too)

ColorStorm:
I guess, on this guy I came across in IRC that I eventually became friends with. He was so..."pure", I want to say, but people don't seem to understand what I mean when I say that. They think of stupid cultural stuff like virginity, doesn't drink, and stuff like that. And then there was this guy on YouTube, I *think* it's this account: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfI4AbYHkOb7rmjBUb63tA . It's purely based on how he talks, there's no images of him.

I don't feel either atm, but lately I often feel hatred for people for their shortcomings and wish I could tell them exactly what's wrong with them / why they should feel bad. I also love my family though.

WachalPharoh:
I get that. It's hard to love those we don't agree with at times, but it is also not easy to hate, it's a balance.

cruelest thing we did during covid was isolating the elderly from their families. how many elderly died alone.. because they couldn't see their families? They wear a mask,u wear one! ur mother's dying would they keep u away from seeing her?

ColorStorm:
I'm guessing that policy was in between a rock and a hard place.. probably no great answer.

ChrisMartinez:
Here in NY I have a friend that works in a nursing home and they told him to lie to the patient's families about their conditions.

ChrisMartinez:
So if your mother died thet told the staff to lie and say they were alive but sick for several wks after they died. Only death certificate shows when they died.

ChrisMartinez:
There are massive lawsuits going on everywhere . The policies were horrible.

When you're on an airplane you have to wear a mask. The whole flight, 3hrs or 12hrs u have to wear one. U only take it off when u eat. And everyone eats at the same time. So can't u get infected then? "WELL the air in the plane is, is, uhh magic 🤣

ColorStorm:
Still a lower chance of getting infected that way than if nobody wore masks the entire time. Probably just a fraction.. and you can't expect people not to eat.

ChrisMartinez:
Yea they have to eat Pilots don't wear masks at all. I guess their isolated from the crew except the air they breathe is

recirculating to the rest of the plane. And dinner is at least an hr without a mask.

6% of ppl who died of covid ONLY died of covid 94% of ppl who died had 2 or more pre-existing conditions. 1% or so of the world's population that were infected less than 1% of 1% were healthy when they died. why was It blown out of proportion like this?

ColorStorm:
nobody's healthy in today's world, everyone (especially old people, who are more susceptible to covid) has pre-existing conditions. so what? doesn't mean they didn't die of covid.

ChrisMartinez:
All deaths are tragic but the stats if true it means the virus wasn't dangerous for a majority of the population. And look at India right now. Massive outbreaks

ChrisMartinez:
No one is shutting anything down. It's as bad as it was last yr. There's no shutdowns because they accomplished their mission. Remove Trump our health was not

What is something most people seem to enjoy or even love but you don't like very much?

ColorStorm:
Getting drunk. It doesn't do anything for me. Also sex (though I wanted it more than anything when I was growing up...and I do love to finger girls in my dreams.) Sports (not sure about most people, but a fairly large percentage of males). Rock music (with a few exceptions). Steak (it's just okay). Bacon usually (it's too salty, but occasionally I actually like it). Video games. (I do like a few racing games and Mario games, at least in theory, but I rarely play them.) Okay that's enough things, I'll stop thinking of more now.

Also beer and wine.

Wieselmann:
What would it take to convince you that some physical thing is "indivisible?"

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. Things that come to mind: it's the size of the Planck length; it's one quantum of energy. But neither of those is really sufficient. The Planck length supposedly isn't really a theoretical limit on how small something can be, and IIUC a quantum just has to do with the possible standing wave patterns in electrons, and this may have little to do with the electron. To be honest though, if physicists said they knew for sure on some theoretical basis that something was indivisible then I'd probably mostly believe it.

Does the patriarchy exist in the USA and europe?

ColorStorm:
It exists, at least to some extent, in the US. Consider that there has not been a single woman president, for example. And the wage gap. And consider how chauvinistic male-female relations are portrayed in old movies. They're old, yes, but they're where we're coming from. (It was even worse in colonial times.) I don't know about Europe. (I'd guess probably, but likely to a lesser extent and depending on which European country we're talking about).

nice sequence. I was once told that we dream every night but sometimes we can't remember that dream and therefore we think we didn't dream

ColorStorm:
For the past few years I've been dreaming every second I'm asleep. Not a split second of dreamless sleep. I don't understand it.

Kate:
Do you "see" any colours with higher numbers? Like e.g. 100= grey-blue for me.

ColorStorm:
no, but i've never really tried. well, 17 is white like 7 (7 and 17 are my two favorite numbers). maybe i have tried.. they just don't do anything for me. well

ColorStorm:
33 is green, maybe repeating digits have colors

Kate:
7 and 17 ? Cool primes. I also associate "touch" with numbers and characters. 7 and 17 "feel" sharp and pointy.

ColorStorm:
7 is the number of completion (so is 777) and i see 17 as just a higher derivative of it. also numerologically i'm a triple seven (first name adds up to 7, born

Not sure which is worse. I fractured an arm when my minibike hit an ATV and I did a 360-degree flip before landing on the ground in front of my bike in a sitting position. I broke a toe (it was pointing sideways) while running around a pool with my cousins when my foot accidentally hit one of the posts for the screened patio. I was in a car accident in which my forehead broke the windshield, and my shirt ended up drenched with blood. A few teeth broke, and my eyelid was cut open. I'm tempted to say the car accident was the worst, but no bones were broken in that one..

In your humble opinion, are positive stereotypes equally racist as negative ones? For example all Jews are "thrifty", Asians are good at math or just smart in general.. What are your thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Those statements aren't necessarily stereotypes. They could just be speaking in general. As in *most* Asians are good at math, or at least more than with other races. And such generalities could be true. (Facts can't be racist.) If they're really stereotypes, though, I dunno.. whether they're racist or not seems like a semantic question, but I don't see them as harmful (and you'd think if something's racist it should be harmful, or at least it's only prudent to call something out as racist if it's harmful).

How do we know certain animals are actually extinct? Have we looked everywhere?

ColorStorm:
Sometimes they're wrong, I've heard numerous times of animals previously thought to have been extinct having been found in the wild. I don't know their rules for determining that something is extinct, but I'd guess they're usually right. I doubt we'll be finding any Dodos..

Why do you think most if not all societies promotes confrontation.like stand up for what you belief.( not priorities).have you ever tasted the bitterness of not confronting ? why do we avoid it ? We don't know what's really there to do so I mean .

ColorStorm:
I always want to "stand up for my beliefs" and confront people when they're wrong, but I usually don't, because you can never change anyone's mind anyway because it's futile, and getting into a confrontation only makes both sides salty. I don't like to be disliked. So yeah, I know the "bitterness," if that's what you want to call it, of not confronting. Just swallow it and die a little. I do that a lot about a lot of things. But, to be fair, I think that's a propensity that more people need to have for society to function well, especially the Republicans (I'm not talking about propensity to stand up for one's beliefs here--other things).

1 curved side ;) or infinity straight sides of infinitesimal length (or 0 length? but then can it technically be a line?). maybe infinite points. but that's if we're talking about an idealized, mathematical circles. if it's a real circle, no part of it is 100% straight. it's just a messy, microscopically meandering, changing, fuzzy shape to an unknown scale of precision. if you infer any 'sides' from looking at it close-up, it's completely arbitrary how many you infer there are or where they stop and start.

Would not like to see: some giant arthropod-looking thing I saw in the smithsonian once. It looks like a man-sized insect that lives underwater and could probably eat people.

Ppl think libs are dumb, they have another brilliant plan to keep this pandemic going. Let millions of Mexicans in. Are u covid test them all? No.. so now the infection rate goes up. And we get locked down again. IT will never end🙄

ColorStorm:
Seems kind of ridiculous and conspirational-minded to think that Democrats want to extend the timespan of the coronavirus just so they can keep us locked down. What would be the point? Democrats want what's best for everybody, just like Republicans do, they just have different ideas on how to go about it. (Actually, Democrats are more about what's best for everybody, Republicans are more about what's best for themselves.) I guess you could theorize that the point is to give the environment a chance to recover a little.. which would still be ridiculous--not even Democrats care *that* much, but it would actually be the wise thing to do, because humanity and the rest of the earth are going to be totally screwed within the next few generations, so there'd be no point in complaining about it even if it were true.

ChrisMartinez:
I thought that for a long time two that both sides wants what's best just with different ideas.

ChrisMartinez:
But they don't. They want to line their pockets with money and keep their power.

ChrisMartinez:
If they keep the pandemic going they can always use it later on to seize more money and power.

They sabotaged the economy Alice, to get rid of Trump. u think Bad Grandpa would have won on policies?😆 he's senile as fuck he doesn't remember his policies😆

ChrisMartinez:
if the economy was surging which it was under Trump, he wins hands down.

ChrisMartinez:
Unemployment was lower than ever. Dems need something when they saw the virus it was opportunity knocking. Trump said reopen schools, no crazy talk,

ChrisMartinez:
Trump rushed the vaccine to market u monster it's un tested!! Now millions of lives are saved. Could he have handled it better,

ChrisMartinez:
but we're learning NO country handled it perfectly. Thousands are dead in every country. At the end he did the best he could

ZouBisouBisou:
A guy who never polled above 50% and lost both popular votes by millions, not thousands, would've won if it hadn't been for the same pandemic he made worse?

ZouBisouBisou:
Those fuckin' libs are even more sinister than I thought. Imagine, having the foresight to plan all of that in advance and have it all go accordingly.

ChrisMartinez:
I'm not calling the Dems masterminds far from it. The fact Trump was..

ChrisMartinez:
While I have u maybe u can clear something up for me Alice. How is letting in millions of ppl at the boarder good during the pandemic?

ColorStorm:
there's nothing at all undemocratic about mail ballots. the republicans were just trying to thwart democracy based on technicalities.

ColorStorm:
they would have no power if not for their various means of subverting democracy

ColorStorm:
Trump? A mastermind? With his level of emotional maturity, self-control and self-awareness, I'm surprised he manages to sh\*it in the toilet.

ChrisMartinez:
I don't think Trump is mastermind. Alot of moving parts went into Biden winning. If

ChrisMartinez:
Trump embraced mail in ballots he might have won, if the economy didn't tank he

ChrisMartinez:
may have won, if the virus didn't hit he may have won. He didn't lose decisively. 5 million

ChrisMartinez:
sounds like alot, it is but Trump got twice as many votes this time as last time. His power in the party is still alive. If I was a dem I wouldn't feel safe

ChrisMartinez:
Maybe Biden can ease the virus although for the reasons I said it may not be his choice to end.

ChrisMartinez:
Schools are not reopening, businesses are gone for good. We just passed alit of money that has to come from somewhere.

ChrisMartinez:
Immigration is out of hand which will spread the illness more. Biden's decreased mental state is troubling. This is not what a winner looks like

ZouBisouBisou:
You should visit the immigration museum in Ellis Island. Imagine being shitty to people the same way people were to your family when they came.

ChrisMartinez:
We didn't have a pandemic at that point. Either the virus is serious enough to shut down our entire lives including accepting new citizens or it isn't..

i mean the wrists are a good thing to cut to bleed out, so they're used for suicide, so maybe when people cut just to release emotions they go for the wrist

because of its association with suicide, like they can flirt with it or whatever

ZouBisouBisou:
Why do you think people are prideful about things that are either unremarkable or they had no control over? "I'm a ____, what's your superpower?"

ColorStorm:
Probably because they need to take pride in *something* in lieu of having actual self-esteem. (Not that it's their fault they don't have self-esteem, it's probably their parents' faults.) If you have nothing remarkable to take pride in, then take pride in the unremarkable. As for control, maybe it's enough that they're superior to others in some way to take pride in it whether they had control over it or not, I guess because that's how superficial they are. Maybe when people say "I'm a ____, what's your superpower?" they don't *really* think it's a superpower, it's just a flight of fancy.

ZouBisouBisou:
Why do you think we (society) put down people working crappy jobs instead of applauding them for putting in an honest day's work instead of going on welfare?

Maybe people are afraid of being like them, having their crappy jobs, so their automatic reaction is to think they're better than them. Maybe it's easier to look down on someone than to have compassion for them. The same reasons go for how we regard homeless people.

[From the BBC show "The Big Questions"] Is masculinity in crisis?

ColorStorm:
I guess so, but good riddance. For the most part the line between masculinity and toxic masculinity is very thin or even blurry. Wars are caused by masculinity. Capitalism is the result of masculinity. Masculinity makes the world a cold and harsh place. I guess something could be said for the virtue of a cosmic balance between femininity and masculinity, though. Maybe the problem is that the world is imbalanced toward masculinity because of patriarchy. Anyway, it seems that the more woke people become the more traction women and feminism have and the less men and masculinity have. This can only happen because, for some reason, men are complicit in this, even when it comes to misandry, which is a downside to this. Another downside is that men are demonized just for being the way that comes naturally to them for being men, particularly regarding sexualizing women.

I don't think that's predictable, at least not by everyone, and besides, for most people the only difference is that the lifetimer is the otherwise temporary person who just happens not to click with you in the wrong way so that the whole thing can last longer without blowing up in each other's faces.

It depends on who the partner is / how much I like her and who the friend is / how much I like her. But probably first I'd try to convince my partner that nothing would ever happen between me and my friend and not to let jealousy ruin our relationship and that it's not a healthy thing to make me get rid of any of my friends.. maybe I'd also mention my views on how misguided it is to be paranoid about one's partner having relations with anybody but themselves, even though I know that wouldn't go over well. If all else fails, I'd pick one or the other depending on which one is more important to me.

What is a number?

ColorStorm:
A sequence of elements out of a range of {whatever your base is} number of numerals, or actually, one sequence for integers, two sequences for real numbers, 4 sequences for complex numbers, 8 sequences for quaternions, etc. Most of the definition would have more to do with how you use them, though, the operations you perform on them. One thing a number is *not* is an objective thing existing in some Platonic realm. Not all possible number automatically exist "somewhere"; a given number doesn't exist until you construct it. Constructivism fully explains/accounts for mathematics without introducing unnecessary extants that would violate occam's razor.

If you pay 100 Dollars, something will change in your heart, you will be obsessed by an Asian language of your choice and you want to learn it so bad. Would you pay the money to really get excited?

No, because, without a *real* reason to be interested, after learning it knowing it will probably feel unsatisfying and anticlimactic. Besides, I'm not sure I'd want to be artificially manipulated like that either way.

How do you see Love? What are your thoughts about it?

ColorStorm:
Neale Donald Walsch says, "Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals. Fear wraps our bodies in clothing, love allows us to stand naked. Fear clings to and clutches all that we have, love gives all that we have away. Fear holds close, love holds dear. Fear grasps, love lets go. Fear rankles, love soothes. Fear attacks, love amends."

ColorStorm:
It irritates me that every time someone asks about Love, the only thing everyone thinks about is romantic relationships.

It doesn't strike me as awkward because I don't break it down and think of its literal components. I just think of it as a whole token and take it for granted, like every other word. Plenty of words don't really match what they mean when you think about their roots.. although, I have thought before that it seems a little bit pathetic or something when people in their 60's or something say they have a 'girlfriend', not sure why.

ColorStorm:
I've never cried out of joy, I hardly even understand how being happy could make one cry. Kissed and hugged romantically, yes, well at least kissed, not sure about hugged. Well, I hugged my girlfriend from behind if that counts. No, I haven't been severely overweight. As for being thin, when I was a young adult I was 120 lbs.. Truly hated? Don't know. If someone truly hated me I don't think they've told me. Truly hated a person? Well, I've looked at a lot of people with deep disdain or resentment if that counts. Maybe I truly hate Mitch McConnel, not sure. I may have truly hated my dad when I was younger. Screamed out of pain.. hmm.. I don't think so.

It would really bother me to apologize for something that's not my fault. I'm not sure I could do it. And as long as someone wants to force me to apologize for something that's not my fault, they're refusing to understand. Though "apologize first" implies there was a mutual fight, shots fired from both sides perhaps, in which case I'd be kinda guilty no matter whose the original fault was.

Why *wouldn't* someone want to make a meme very relatable? That being said, there's all sorts of people making things for various strange reasons, and I'd think the ones that happen to want to make an "overly" relatable meme (maybe just because they want to make something that becomes popular?) would result in the memes that become most popular so you'd happen to hear about them.

ZouBisouBisou:
Why do you think a lot of gay men are flamboyant and "sound gay" but this isn't (usually) the case for women who are lesbians? I've never heard a lesbian grunt and act manly.

ColorStorm:
Well, there's no reason to assume things in general should be symmetrical between boys and girls to begin with. They're not just exact opposites, they're very different, so it makes sense that they'd adapt to the whole gay thing in different ways. So the question is the same as just asking why guy men "sound gay", independently of the fact that gay women don't. And the answer is something probably almost nobody knows, because we don't understand human nature very well at all. Maybe there's some psychological dissertation somewhere that gets *some* of it, but it wouldn't get it all because there's probably a number of reasons that are very deep and touch on the most profound characteristics of life itself.

ColorStorm:
I don't remember. A lot of years ago. When I was a kid I was at my uncle's muffler shop once, and he had a large advertising balloon. I would make a paper airplane, pull the balloon down by its rope, stuff the paper airplane in where the rope connects to the balloon, let the balloon rise again, then tug on the rope to jerk the paper airplane out of the rope so it can fall a long distance. That was cool.

Save this question for when you want to share something, but can’t find the right question in your inbox.

ColorStorm:
I posted this on ask.fm an hour or two ago: I've been thinking about how seductive nihilism, which I've always despised, seems to me lately. The idea that we're all just chemical sacks, and what happens happens and means very little, and nothing is "meant to be" would be a huge lift of burden off my heart. But I know better: our souls are weaving stories, and what we do now sets the platform for what happens in all of eternity. Should I change my beliefs just because it's convenient? I mean, it would be fair.. a lot of people are nihilists already, and you can't be blamed for having any particular outlook or stance on life when we're not given any definitive guide or answers in this life. But I'm remined of the movie A Monster Calls. The parson wouldn't give the yew tree to the apothecary for healing people and spoke out against him because he was staunchly scientistic. Then his kids got sick and he went to the apothecary for help. The apothecary said no. The sentient yew tree then destroyed the apothecary's house, for not being committed to his beliefs and throwing them out when times got tough.

You're in a long term relationship (5+ years), they tell you that they want to start an open relationship and they already have someone else in mind that they are already very close with (you may suspect intimately so, but don't know). How do you react?

ColorStorm:
It'd be fine with me, I don't think the possessiveness and forced exclusivity of a typical relationship are a mature or ideal expression of love. And in this case I think there'd be a strong possibility that, if she had to choose one, she'd go with the other guy/girl and leave me, so by making an open relationship I'd get to keep her.

Top sheets: yes or no? Why?

I'm not even sure what that is. Sounds like extra complication. I never make my bed and it's minimalistic. I have one sheet on it (not including the sheet that goes all the way around it that came with it) and one blanket that I put on top of me. Some months I put a sheet on top of me instead. Sometimes if I don't wear a sheet or blanket on top of me when I sleep, I have disturbing dreams and/or my energy feels ravaged when I wake up. So that's why I wear one. It's been that way for many years.

Do you prefer to answer easy going/fun questions or controversial/serious questions?

ColorStorm:
I don't answer controversial questions because then half the people would hate me. Serious questions are okay sometimes, fun questions are okay sometimes, I think it depends more on other variables than whether they're serious or fun. Speaking of serious and fun questions, I just answered Daniel's question about how sure I am the sun will rise tomorrow, and by the time I finished the answer was gone =( So I'll put my answer here: It's pretty damned likely, but you never know, the earth could be obliterated by a really fast, really big meteor overnight. Also, if I die before the sunrise, does the sun still rise tomorrow? I mean you could say obviously yes, but I'm the one who's sure, and my surety would never be validated.. Also, if a supervolcano blows and fills the atmosphere with ash so that nobody can see the sun, does it still rise? I mean, yeah, the sun is still there and the earth is still turning, but the idea of the "sun rising" is purely a subjective observation based on relative perception..

Do you like riddles? Like: What is the galactic one after the other public transport? Answer: Universal Serial Bus, aka USB. I think this sort is ultra lame but there must be people who love this?

ColorStorm:
I actually like that one, though I probably never would've gotten it. I'm not that good with riddles in general, but I usually give them a try. This one was harder than it should've been though because of lacking punctuation. I couldn't parse the sentence. Like, the galactic one [after the other public transport]? It didn't seem to make any sense. I got it a second or two after you said the answer: you meant "What is the galactic one-after-the-other public transport?".

Part of the boring "fun" of this seems to be invented words intended to mislead. Also no punctuation, no hyphens. The general construction of the riddles is

It wouldn't be worth the effort of finding someone cute and sexy enough who'd actually be willing to be with us two unemployed quadragenarians. That would be even harder than finding a regular girlfriend, which is hard enough that I don't currently have one.. (unless you count my girlfriend in Norway, the other quadragenarian I mentioned).

Andy:
Sounds like you've got one :o

ColorStorm:
sorta. she only messages me once every month or so, and it's usually just a heart emoji. besides that there's no interaction. though she does want to visit me

ColorStorm:
this summer

Andy:
Well see how things go. Its hard work talking to people - some people just like to keep things simple.

ColorStorm:
i know how it'll go because she's visited me twice before :) (not counting when we were together in 2006 and it was totally different)

Andy:
Ohhh well thats cool. Not sure how Id define it but as long as you're both having fun

Saater:
Where did the matter come from ?

ColorStorm:
Energy coalesced into hydrogen atoms shortly after the big bang. Then the hydrogen atoms formed stars and the stars fused them into all the higher elements. (Above a certain atomic number, the only possible source for those atoms is supernova explosions from burnt out stars that collapsed under their own weight.) The bigger question is.. why was there a big bang? Where did that energy come from? What was before it and what's outside of it?

Saater:
Exactly. the big bang requires energy to happen so where did this come from?

Wasserpistole:
Who is your favorite Greek god or goddess?

ColorStorm:
Athena. She has an owl on her shoulder. Owls see in the dark. This represents sight/awareness in the realm of the subconscious. Or was Athena a Roman goddess? I never remember which is which. Anyway, I can't think of a better skill than to be able to see/navigate one's subconscious or even the subconsciouses of others.

Wasserpistole:
No she is a Greek goddess and has honor.

Do you think anyone on here has sent themselves an anonymous question, just so people can see their answer to it?

Haha. I've actually contemplated it before (I think? At least I've contemplated asking myself a question so I could answer it), but I feel like I may be the only one desperate enough for attention to do that, haha. On the other hand.. given how many people there are and how many questions there have been, maybe..

I’m just as desperate for that attention, and I’ve definitely contemplated sending an anon to myself 😂 so you’re not alone there

Wasserpistole:
Isaac Newton said "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." But most of you would say that this is not true, right?

ColorStorm:
It's totally true. Take a gun for example. When the bullet flies out of a gun, the gun is pushed back with an equal momentum. Not an equal speed, because the gun is heavier than the bullet (and so is the person holding it), but with an equal momentum. Similarly rockets work because when they eject the spent fuel from the bottom the reaction causes the rocket to go up. This is a basic principle of inertia and applies to everything. Though like Sean said you can't always see it.

Do you think you'd want to be worshipped as a God, or would u get bored of it?😁

ColorStorm:
Worship is a weird thing. I don't see why people like to receive it, and I don't see why people like to give it. I guess receiving worship is like a stand-in for a healthy ego/self-esteem? Though I'd certainly like all the perks that go alongside being worshiped, like riches, women and attention.

BidenLadysMan:
It feels so phony to me. They don't worship you because they love you. It's usually out of fear 🤔

ChrisMartinez:
Am I the only one who finds the idea of an afterlife way scarier than just dying and that's it? I die and have to live in a dimensional prison. For eternity without my loved ones or my body. That's horrifying 😨

ColorStorm:
you're just thinking about it all wrong. It's not a prison, there's always new experiences in different contexts to be had, you get to be with your loved ones, and you have a body, it may not be physical (unless you reincarnate), but it's totally real. my sources are many books I've read on the afterlife, either channeled from someone who'd passed over, written by someone who'd had a near-death experience, or written by psychologists who had hypnotized patients and regressed them to life between lives and/or past lives.

ChrisMartinez:
There's so many holes in the stories. With the near death experiences. Isn't more likely your brain is shutting down showing u the same images

ChrisMartinez:
Why doesn't anyone go to hell in these moments. I only ever heard of it once. Having dark imagery. Everyone is good, Everyone is going to the same place. odd

ColorStorm:
it seems to me to be a large stretch to assume the brain could do all that just because it's shutting down, especially if you actually read some of these

ColorStorm:
stories.. i'm pretty sure which scenario seems more likely to a person actually depends on their metaphysical worldview/presuppositions.

ColorStorm:
and there are stories of people having risen from their bodies on the operating table while dead and having seen things that were later verified that weren't

ColorStorm:
visible from their vantage point, and also of having heard conversations in the room while braindead that actually happened

ColorStorm:
and some people's recollections of facts from their past lives that they couldn't have know (by normal means) have been verified

ColorStorm:
anyway, the reason everything is always so good in the afterlife is that life in the universe is basically, generally great, as it should be.

ColorStorm:
which is why we crave happiness so much, we know it's our natural, healthy, rightful state

ColorStorm:
life incarnated, at least as a human on earth, is hell in comparison. it's the hardest thing your soul has ever done.

ChrisMartinez:
I mean the human brain is very amazing. We create fantastical worlds every night when we go to sleep. It's the frontal cortex

ChrisMartinez:
shutting down and allowing us to dream. It stands to reason a dying brain would show the same things.

ChrisMartinez:
We also have all heard stories of the afterlife so we know what we will see a bright light, a tunnel, dead relatives so our brain creates similar experiences.

ChrisMartinez:
It's nothing to fear I take comfort that it might end. That after a long life (hopefully) of trials and tribulations I get to rest in peace.

ChrisMartinez:
And the only part of me that lives on is in the minds and hearts of those I left behind.

4001:
If cheating were permitted, would you do the smart thing or the honorable thing?

ColorStorm:
It totally depends on the context. For one thing, in many contexts, if it's permitted then it's not cheating. And in some other contexts cheating isn't dishonorable. Also, whether it's dishonorable or not, if cheating is permitted you know everyone's going to be cheating so the only way to be competitive would be to cheat..

4001:
that's the answer I was looking for!

[2020-05-23]

Wieselmann:
How do you know that you are not dreaming right now?

ColorStorm:
Dreaming is very different. Things are distorted and inconsistent, I don't know how I got there, I'm in a stupor, my perception *feels* subtly different.. whenever I'm dreaming even if I'm not lucid dreaming if I ask myself if I'm dreaming I'm not sure.. and that's how I know I'm dreaming. Because when I'm awake I'm always sure because there's this certain feeling to it. This stark, static reality and this hyper-consciousness.

ClaireBear:
You’re offered a million dollars but theres a catch, you won’t find out what that is until you take the money. Would you take it?

ColorStorm:
NO, nobody wants to give away money for free, so the catch probably outweighs the money (which would also be why it's kept a secret). Even if it weren't for those factors I'd still probably say no--don't want to agree to something when I don't know what I'm agreeing to. The catch could easily be something I wouldn't consider worth the money.

Nothing is ever truly free. Agree or disagree?

ColorStorm:
Disagree, things aren't generally free but plenty of things are, and there's no special power associated with many of those free things that takes something away.. (true) love's offerings are free, nature's offerings are free, etc.

ColorStorm:
I'm disappointed by how many people answered that nothing is truly free. How can so many people not think clearly on the matter? If you just think about it a

ColorStorm:
little bit, *obviously* there are some things that are truly free.

What is a song lyric that took you way too long to figure out what the correct lyric was?

ColorStorm:
I had a hard time making out all of the lyrics to April March - Magic Monsters - Mind Phone, and they weren't available anywhere online, so I listened to it over and over until I had working theories for what all of the words were. I probably had to listen to it 15 times. I typed them out in a file. (I think I somehow lost that file so I had to do it again years later.)

[2021-03-22]

ClaireBear:
Do you think it’s rude to ask for money instead of gifts?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, it shouldn't be.. it's no more expensive to give money instead, it's actually easier, and it's more convenient for the recipient because they can spend it on whatever they want when they want. But it may be a little tacky, unless the person asking is very short on money and it's understood by the people they're asking it of. One reason it could be tacky is, you have to consider what would happen if *everybody* just sent each other money. It would all cancel out to nothing--except that it wouldn't because some people would give more than others, and it would be glaringly obvious who gave more or less and who ended up with the smaller bottom line.

What is something you’ve recently come to terms with?

ColorStorm:
i'm simply not boyfriend material.

LaDamaX:
How far out of your way have you gone to find a girlfriend? I’m simply curious. :)

ColorStorm:
there's this girl i might be able to get if i wanted, but i probably shouldn't, because i'm emotionally numb, so i'd ultimately have nothing for her.

LaDamaX:
What do you think makes you emotionally numb?

ColorStorm:
i'm not sure, i've had a really hard, struggling, suffering, lonely life.. i think it might be related to this: sometimes, once in a blue moon, I'm in touch

ColorStorm:
with my emotions (it feels like they're stored in the body), and they feel so thick, heavy, and dark that it's surprising I can even bear it. (i've just become

ColorStorm:
really strong, i think). and when I feels it, it feels like i've literally been in that state for a hundred years

ColorStorm:
I think my true emotions are basically too heavy and chronic for me to be able to support them for long periods of time / in everyday life

LaDamaX:
😔

ColorStorm:
and, indeed, sometimes after feeling my emotions it's a relief to be numb again (otoh, sometimes like feeling them, but i can tell i won't be able to sustain

ColorStorm:
it)

ColorStorm:
er sometimes I like feeling them*

ColorStorm:
so i think that's why i'm numb, but i think all the times i've masturbated might not have helped either

ColorStorm:
i'm not sure why it is, but something about when i do it, it used to be that it took all my energy away for a while, sometimes i even felt my energy collapse

ColorStorm:
briefly afterward a few times

ColorStorm:
and when i was young i remember visualizing that it seemed like it was 'stripping my emotional gears'

ColorStorm:
also Wasserpistole said that after you masturbate your energy falls back down and it fallls down even further than it was before, and i think there's truth to

ColorStorm:
that (even if only for him and me, for some reason)

ColorStorm:
(i think it's different for males than for females, males give away energy when they orgasm)

ColorStorm:
or when they cum

ColorStorm:
(when i say my energy collapses, it's hard to explain what i mean, but one aspect of it is that i suddenly feel like i can't breathe for a second, but it has

ColorStorm:
nothing to do with physical breath, i think)

ColorStorm:
(it happens like a half hour to an hour after doing it.. or at least, it used to. nowadays i can do it pretty much without consequence)

ColorStorm:
i've also been eating green olives lately, since i got too big jars of them for christmas, i guess some people would find that unpalatable.

Falcci showed some studies that shows if health care workers work around sick people they become sick.. thanks Doc. Never would have guessed that! No data that any of the lockdowns actually slowed infection. Cause it didn't 😆

If you simply model how viruses spread it's obvious that a lockdown would slow infection rates.

ZouBisouBisou:
Not obvious to Chris, he couldn't tell why a virus from 40 years ago with no cure in sight (HIV) had a higher death toll than Covid-19

Actually there has been reports on non lockdown states performing as well or better than lockdown states.

well duh, it says the ones that didn't lock down and experienced fewer deaths were rural states.. of course rural states will experience fewer deaths, they're

ColorStorm:
already social-distancing =p

(meaning that they live so far apart and are less likely to collect in large groups)

ZouBisouBisou:
That link is paywalled. I like how Chris always sources articles he **clearly didn't read**

ZouBisouBisou:
"One reason is that deaths in most states, regardless of whether they locked down, have been concentrated in nursing home facilities and minority communities-

ZouBisouBisou:
" -that have higher rates of underlying health conditions and multigenerational housing."

ChrisMartinez:
I forgot Alice was on welfare my bad boo..🥰

It shows that sweeping lockdowns are unnecessary in every state. Not necessary at all imo

U wear your muzzle and go about your life. The lockdowns were pure politics.

Do you believe the world would be a better place if everyone had the same income?

ColorStorm:
Hard to say. We wouldn't have the huge wealth imbalance problem and there'd be a heck of a lot less corruption, but how would people be incentivized to do really unpopular jobs, or jobs that take 12 years of higher education, for example?

This is a very well-known and adored piano piece by Beethoven. Almost as famous as his moonlight sonata. Do you like it too? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn5MAzcISqQ

I asked Ludwig, if he had something for you with more pomp and he gave me this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7GbYV1vcps

ColorStorm:
I listened to about 45 seconds, it's okay I guess, doesn't really have any catchy melodies

Wasserpistole:
So many songs and pieces, they change and give you a lot of different ideas and moods but if you always skip after a few seconds, you are missing out.

ColorStorm:
I could be missing out sometimes. It's just that most music isn't interesting/sounds like crap to me and I don't want to waste my time so I judge by the first

ColorStorm:
few seconds. I'm listening to more of this song now.

I don't care at all what they do with it, or have any ideas what science does with dead bodies. I'd trust that the scientists know what a good and worthwhile thing to do with it is. And yeah, some uses are more prestigious than others, but I don't care about that either--whatever they choose for it, *some* body has to be used for that.

Does music evolve in unison with Brain/thoughts evolution ?

ColorStorm:
and emotional evolution, etc.

Templar:
I'm thinking our Brain evolves

ColorStorm:
biological evolution evolves really slowly, very little in a thousand years, though I guess culture could change the brain on a non-genetic level

Templar:
yes, I think we evolve a little every 1 million years that can be detected/. maybe our tastes or likenesses evolve quicker. For instance the music of the 30's

Templar:
and todays music are quite different

definitely, it's culture

yes, agreed

What are your thoughts on the concept of Men 'compensating for something'? (i.e. that men buy expensive things and/or getting really buff due to penis inferiorities).

Would you rather travel the world with friends on a tight budget or travel to one country with family in luxury?

I'd be tempted to do the latter, not because I love luxury so much but because I'm not sure how much I care about traveling the world, but then, I suppose I should culture myself... also a girl on the Internet urged me to travel once saying that it softens the heart.

ClaireBear:
Which of these books would you want to read: one that has all the lies people have told you, or one with peoples real opinions on you?

ColorStorm:
The lies one, I care a lot about truth, and lies not only divert you from the truth in the specific instance, but also throw off your ability to discern and guess truth in general, because they affect your episteme/heuristics and all truth is related. Also, I think I'd feel disappointed, hurt, frustrated (that I couldn't clear up the misunderstandings) and awkward if I knew the opinions everyone had of me, with little upside.

They're stupid for starting a habit that everyone knows is extremely addictive, extremely unhealthy, and extremely expensive. The fact that there are so many smokers just shows that, dishearteningly, most people just do what they see other people doing regardless of reason.

DUST:
Would you rather be with someone you love but doesn't love you back or be with someone who loves you but you don't love back?

ColorStorm:
That's a really tough choice, being with someone you love is really uplifting, but if they don't love me back then I'd give and and give and receive nothing. It could leave me feeling empty or frustrated. But if they love me and I don't love them back, I'd feel the emptiness of being with someone I have no interest in, and I'd also feel guilty. I guess, overall, I'd pick the one who loves me, because (a) then I know she'd take care of me, (b) I've had enough unrequited adoration and desire in my life, and (c) I'd be the one with the power in the relationship in case there's conflict.

What is this urge to get naked when they're pregnant? To convince us that's still beautiful .. well they're not. Not right now. It's stupid, it's as beautiful as your uncle taking out his fat stomach at the dinner table😆 #NoOffense

ColorStorm:
When I look at a naked pregnant woman, it looks so...pregnant, in the poetic/abstract way that someone once meant when they said what the most 'pregnant' phrase in the English language is. It's also reminiscent of ripe fruit about to fall off a tree.

Wieselmann:
Tell me why the sky is blue without looking it up

ColorStorm:
I've heard it's normal Rayleigh scattering, which scatters light according to the fourth power of the particles' size (I don't remember how exactly), but I've also heard it's because oxygen atoms resonate with blue so they scatter that color particularly.. I'm not sure which is true, but if it were the latter you'd think the sky's color would be more monochromatic than whiteish.. unless both processes are going on..

I'm not opposed to paying a lot of taxes if I think they're actually being used to help and support people and society, but I do worry that they're not used efficiently enough.. for example, way too much goes to the military. But personally I don't get enough income to have to pay taxes anyway (except sales tax).

If you had to choose, would you rather know the exact date and time of your death or the way in which you will die?

ColorStorm:
The first is a lot more useful. Though I don't believe the future is set in stone/predetermined, and I think just knowing when you'll die will probably change it, if for no other reason than that you'll be extra-careful not to die that day.

What would you answer if somebody said "Homosexuals are to blame for AIDS."?

ColorStorm:
AIDS would exist with or without homosexuality, it just spreads more quickly where unprotected anal sex is involved. Even if homosexuals were solely responsible for AIDS, it's not their fault, and they've done nothing wrong. It's just a random unkindness of nature with a random target as so many other things.

Have you ever felt stripped of dignity? What is dignity?

ColorStorm:
I see dignity as being egoic. i think it's about keeping up appearances. If someone humiliates you, that strips you of your dignity. But if you're not invested in seeing yourself as 'big' or maybe 'acceptable' in the first place, then someone can't humiliate you. Of course there could be more to it that I'm not seeing. But personally I've never resonated with the term 'dignity'.

RetroKnight:
Uh oh, the Grim Reaper has come for you...but he's a fan of that Bill & Ted movie, so he will let you keep your soul or whatever if you can beat him at some contest...so, what contest would YOU choose?

ColorStorm:
Philosophical debate, though there'd have to be a neutral third party to judge who wins. In fact, any contest where there needs to be a "neutral" third party would probably be a good idea, because the judge would probably be biased in my favor, because hey, life vs. death. But then, on the other hand, maybe I want to die..

RetroKnight:
wow, so like a discussion about the nature of life and death, with Death, so meta

ColorStorm:
yeah, but probably not the best subject to pick for a debate with death if you want to win.. haha

Like some people said, conversations that are very personal. They reveal things about a person's psyche, mindset, opinions, beliefs, fears, desires, reactions, etc. that would otherwise be hidden.

How comes a lot of people complain about wearing masks so much? Do they all have such weak lungs and get exhausted by wearing them or can't they accept any little discomfort?

ColorStorm:
They're babies and can't handle a little bit of discomfort. It is kinda hard to breathe with them, though I doubt they all have weak lungs. I think the thing is that they *have* to wear them by law or store policy or whatever it is, and they're not used to being mandated to do such a thing, because this whole pandemic thing is unprecedented. They think it's an imposition on their freedom and can't understand that the current situation makes it prudent.

One time I decided the point of my life would be to be generous and give people money when they need it, etc., and then as I was walking around at a shopping center this lady drives up to me and says she's in some kind of quandary and desperately needs some money, so I gave her some (I forget how much) and she said it was great that there were nice or caring or whatever people like me.. it wasn't a lot of money and I give money away all the time but I just liked the synchronicity of this event. Another time I gave $1000 or $2000 (I forget which) to my then-girlfriend in the Philippines so that her mom could get some lumps on her breasts checked out.

What's a good movie to watch running in theaters now? Heard Isle of Dogs is good, but then again everyone can't seem to shut up about Avengers.

ColorStorm:
Ready Player One. I didn't think I'd like it very much because I'm much into movies with CGI people, but there were some scenes in that movie that really blew my mind.

Wasserpistole:
Now it is time for the masterquestion: Coca-Cola Zero or Diet Coke (Coca-Cola Light)?

ColorStorm:
Neither, I drink the real stuff or Coke Life (it's Coke with stevia, it has about 30% fewer calories) Actually, I prefer Pepsi though. Except that Vanilla Coke is better than Pepsi, so I drink Vanilla Coke. Except that I usually drink other drinks that aren't soda at all. Between Coke Zero and Diet Coke, I don't know which is best but I'm guessing Coke Zero is.

Please share an unconventional opinion you have?

ColorStorm:
High heels are prissy, narcissistic and deceiving. There's nothing attractive about them. And eyeliner just makes people look dead, there's nothing attractive about it either. I never understood why people like it, but I tried really hard yesterday and I think I got a glimpse of how someone could like it, and I realized that it's only because people are so immature and superficial that they don't give half a sh*t about the truth, i.e. what their eyes really look like. They're happy to indulge in appearances and stop asking there.

Wasserpistole:
Do you trust Rotten Tomatoes if you want to know if a movie is good or not?

ColorStorm:
I look at their scores and give them some weight, but they differ drastically from the average moviegoer's average rating. I guess they're all film buffs who judge a film the way a snob tastes fine wine or something, whereas my preferences tend to align more with the average moviegoer's. But better than looking at Rotten Tomatoes OR ratings like Fandango's or box-office ratings, I find, is simply looking at a preview or two. That way you can pretty much tell what the movie is like and easily get a sense of whether you'll like it. Well, usually. With kids' movies for some reason they always seem to underplay the fact that they're for kids in the previews, removing all traces of the fact. I mean, kids movies can be good too, but I'm talking about the kind where they give adults totally unrealistic retarded personalities that supposedly appeal to kids.

Is TV a significant part of your life? How much TV do you watch?

ColorStorm:
I didn't watch TV for years (except for 3 TV shows that I watch on the internet, if that counts), but lately I've been watching South Park, Family Guy and The Simpsons re--runs late at night because I have absolutely nothing better to do. Also the occasional Conan because watching it online doesn't always work.

Curious about something - is there anyone who restarts their phone for reasons that do not involve an update or a problem? Maybe just restart it once in a while, for the sake of maintenance/performance?

ColorStorm:
I used to turn my phone off whenever I wasn't using it just to conserve battery charge because I thought that if you keep it on the charger all the time it'll decrease your battery life. Still not sure if it does, but now I just keep it on the charger. Other than that I've mostly only restarted it when there was a problem (or I forget to charge it and the battery runs out). On my current phone every once in a long while the data will stop working until I reboot.

What is real?

ColorStorm:
Things that you can literally feel in your heart. I know it seems like physical things are more real, but physical things can theoretically be an illusion. Things you feel in your heart can't be mistaken. And physical things are relatively meaningless anyway. They're just colors, shapes, etc. They're empty and they get old. Things you can feel in your heart are substances too, but more substantial substances.

Wasserpistole:
Would you rather see a real dinosaur, a Tyrannosaurus Rex for example or a Triceratops OR visit the moon for 10 minutes, our moon?

ColorStorm:
At first I'm tempted to see the moon, since dinosaurs are just one more arbitrary creature (while they're rather interesting, I'm not completely enamored with them like a lot of people are) and I've seen plenty of pictures and videos of them. But after thinking about it, the moon is rather barren and dreary and I can gather everything I want to know about it from looking at pictures, while all the available pictures and movies of dinosaurs are merely educated guesses. We don't really know what any of them looked like, moved like or sounded like exactly. So it would be a lot more valuable to see a dinosaur than visit the moon. Also attempting to visit the moon and get back is pretty dangerous. =P

Wasserpistole:
If a person kills a child accidentally in a car crash and because of that, he/she goes insane. To say he/she feels sorry would be an understatement. That person is destroyed. My question now: Could you forgive that person, I mean really forgive?

ColorStorm:
Of course I could. Driving isn't safe, accidents happen all the time. Often they're nobody's fault. Even if he did make a serious mistake, it's not like he did it on purpose. I don't blame people for accidents. And I especially wouldn't hold it against someone who's devastatingly sorry. It shows that whatever the mistake was, it wasn't out of not caring about human life.

Elle:
Does the color purple exist in the real world ?

ColorStorm:
IMO, the color purple exists no less than the color green does in the real world (i.e., non-spectral colors are no less real than spectral colors), they're all just how our eyes, brain and mind interpret various combinations of wavelengths (any color is hardly ever only exactly one wavelength). But you could argue that *all* colors, including purple, only exist in our minds. They're pretty arbitrary ways of seeing the world.

Wasserpistole:
What is your opinion about revenge?

ColorStorm:
It's schadenfreude/sadism. It's nasty, ugly, vile, and based on hatred. It might make you feel better, but it doesn't really help anything. People often mistake justice for vengeance. It's not. Everybody is ultimately innocent, everyone is a different expression of the same divine source, and nobody 'deserves' to have things happen to them that won't help them. Here's an excerpt from 'Choose Them Wisely: Thoughts Become Thigns!' by Mike Dooley: 'Have you ever wondered how you might behave in someone else's shoes? If you have, you'll likely admit that this kind of thinking is usually critical of the person of the person you're thinking about. The truth is, you are the other person, and they are behaving exactly as you would if you were indeed in the exact same shoes--however inconsiderate, abusive, outrageous, or immoral their behavior is.' 'True, you are probably more thoughtful, fearless, loving, and honest than those who disappoint you. But you are also at a different point in your journey, maybe "more advanced," or maybe just more at ease for having chosen a less "challenging" path. We're all of "one," exhibiting different colors of the same light, and rather than passing judgment, it's best to remember that each of us is just doing the best we can.'

I've forgotten to breathe a few times, usually in my sleep, and usually then because I was on a lot of Zyprexa. Terrifying way to wake up. I felt like I had forgotten to *exist*.

ColorStorm:
I've never known anyone like that (at least who *consciously* wants it), but I'm sure there are some people who are like that just because there are so many people and so many of them are weird that just about any deviance you can think of exists. I'm not sure what to think about that kind of person, I guess they think they're shit (probably as a result of upbringing/bad parenting) and therefore they only feel comfortable being treated that way because they think it's what they deserve.

No depth to their thoughts and emotions. On retrospring I find people boring who respond to most questions with one or two words.

I never used Kiwi. What was it like?

ColorStorm:
Lots of people, average age seemed to be about 15, comments could be 10 paragraphs instead of a few characters like here. Like here, you had to separate your paragraphs with two line feeds, single line feeds were just ignored, but when displaying they separated their paragraphs with three line feeds for some stupid reason. Also there was a bug where occasionally when you tried to type in your answer the cursor would constantly move to another spot or something like that. I think it would scroll to the top of the message so you couldn't see what you were typing. Unlike here, you didn't have to click on 'read more' or whatever to see more than like two sentences of an answer. I hate that aspect of this site so much. Lots of really pretty girls.

Are memories something good or not? If you could choose whether have them or not? What would you choose?

ColorStorm:
Getting rid of your memories would be like excising a part of yourself/your identity, so I don't think it's a good idea.. It would also leave you bereft of understanding of why/how things are the way they are/you are the way you are in some ways. "I have great respect for the past.

What is your favourite audio format? Me: opus

ColorStorm:
opus, m4a, wmv, are all good.. no idea what's the best.. opus seems to be the newest, and preferred by YouTube, so it's probably best.. but whenever I reinstall Winamp for whatever reason I have to remember to install an obscure plugin that makes it support opus, and I'm also not sure my other media players support it, so it's kind of a pain for me.

Does color affect aggressive behaviour ?. For instance it has been known that prisons , Certain Hospitals have been painted with Magnolia colors to reduce aggression

Depending on the value of money, it was either the time I helped someone I hardly even knew move (cuz I didn't want to say no) or the time I gave someone I knew on the Internet a little bit but had hardly spoken to $1700 because they were apparently in a pinch.

Qafka:
Wow! Impressive. Did you ever get the money back?

I didn't want to ask for it back, but my mom said it had to be a loan (my parents preside over my money, long story), but no, she's brought it up a few times

Whenever u critique Biden libs are like "What about Trump, WHAT ABOUT TRUUUMMP!!!!!" can there be two bad ppl in the world, it does happen! I get libs I was one.. It's ur identity. No one wants to believe what u believe in is wrong. But it is..

ColorStorm:
Nobody wants to believe what you believe is wrong, but it is.. I mean, everyone believes thye're right and their opposers are wrong, and anyone can say that to anyone.

ChrisMartinez:
I prefer to ask what if it were Trump? What if Trump had that

ChrisMartinez:
crisis at the boarder admitted he's a nice guy and that it was wrong but didn't offer any solutions. How would u react?

ColorStorm:
i still prefer a democrat over a republican, which means supporting biden because he's our only option. beyond that there's no point in reacting anyway because

ColorStorm:
i can't change anything. =p

ChrisMartinez:
They were other democrats though. Younger ones. I liked Tulsi Gabbard 😊

ChrisMartinez:
Does it mean supporting Biden at all costs no matter what he does?

ColorStorm:
no but i doubt he'll do anything bad enough..

ChrisMartinez:
The migrant situation is pretty bad imo. But even if we he inherited the problem from Trump. Idk how true that is

ChrisMartinez:
because Trump reduced those number of migrants when he was pres. So much so that even some Dems think we should finish the wall.

ChrisMartinez:
Not to mention Trump threatened the Mexican pres basically saying stop sending these ppl or I'll send the army down there and shut the boarder down

ChrisMartinez:
Not nice but it worked. Not the Mexican pres has said not in so many words but basically fuck u to Biden I'm sending everyone what are u going to do about it

[2021-03-26]

ChrisMartinez:
Biden gave his presser he admitted the kids in "cages" was bad ... AND!! No solution was offered. Just saying it's bad M"Kay. If u admit something is bad YOU CAN KEEP DOING IT!! Do they have a name for what's wrong with you? 😆

ColorStorm:
Well, that's one step better than Trump. A Republican would never have admitted such a thing. It's honest and virtuous to admit something you're in charge of is wrong. So why would he do it? Idk, maybe he's too busy and hasn't been able to get around to changing it yet?

ChrisMartinez:
In the nearly 40 executive orders he signed he didn't have time to close down those facilities?

ChrisMartinez:
You're falling into the "What about Trump" defense. Ppl aren't buying it anymore. He has to do something fast.

ChrisMartinez:
But the libs can't do anything about the boarder they said it's racist to not let them all in. They're stuck and it may cost them everything

What would soothe your heart?

ColorStorm:
being liked by or being able to touch (hug, kiss, stroke, etc.) a beautiful girl, but while being receptive to emotions like i am in my dreams. Basically if stuff that happened in my dreams happened IRL. But tbh it soothes my heart (temporarily) even when it happens in dreams. Another thing that would soothe my heart would be existing in a better place than this god-forsaken world, somewhere with fun, security, etc. Another thing would be making it and being recognized something like, say, a well-known author. Or maybe just conquering life, being able to go out there and be social and be self-sufficient.

Wieselmann:
Is it important to you that people spell words correctly? Why?

ColorStorm:
yes, somewhat. some misspellings piss me off more than others, maybe? like 'looser' instead of loser is so dumb. and in general mistaking words for their homophones is really dumb. especially they're, their, your, you're, its, it's, and some other things, like apostrophizing plurals. it just frustrates me that I have to share a planet with people who are so dumb. they lack the logic to understand grammar properly, or they see a word used a thousand times in their life and still never noticed how to spell it.

When it's too hot I sweat. I've had it so hot that it was dripping off my fingers before. And I worry about heat stroke.

Wieselmann:
Someone tells you that he suffers from severe depression and that he wants to kill himself. He asks you why he shouldn't do it. What would you tell him?

ColorStorm:
I can tell you what I *wouldn't* tell them. I hate when people tell suicidal people that they're being selfish if they commit suicide because other people care about them. We must live (or not live) ultimately for ourselves, deeply suffering so that others don't have to see us go would be imbalanced. It's selfish of the people who *say that* to a suicidal person to expect them to live in suffering just so others don't have to deal with their loss. It's a manipulative ploy. And the most it will probably do is make them feel guilty about committing suicide, as if it weren't hard enough already. Anyway, as to what I *would* say, I'm not sure, but I probably wouldn't try to search for the right words to convince them not to do it. Just because most people fear death more than anything doesn't mean suicide necessarily isn't the best thing for them. Bite the bullet and let the poor guy end his misery. (If you really have a good reason to believe his suffering is only temporary, then that's another story. But only if you're realistic..)

ColorStorm:
The fear of death is strong and is its own deterrent. Suicide takes a lot of bravery and if someone's life is bad enough that they'll do it anyway then let the

ColorStorm:
poor guy go.

ColorStorm:
One thing I might say, since he's looking for a reason he shouldn't, is that I have a friend who's read channelings of people who have committed suicide, and

ColorStorm:
they tend to regret it so much, the loss of opportunity, that they go to a kind of hell for a while until they get over it.

What decision are you glad you made ??

ColorStorm:
I lived at an ALF (Assisted Living Facility) for a month or two and then I decided to quit that and rent a room. From there I ended up spending more and more time at my parents' house until I basically lived there again. It was so much better than the rented room and the ALF. I've been exposed to philosophies of non-resistance and the idea that whatever happens to you is the best thing that could happen at that time and all you have to do is get out of the way... but that decision I made and the results make me believe in the power of taking action. Though, for all I know, the ALF could have been the best thing for me for reasons I just never realized. =p Maybe I was less bored because there was more company, even if my living conditions sucked balls. I'm bored all the time lately. Idk.

What's the story behind your current profile pic?

ColorStorm:
I used to like experimenting with making graphics from different algorithms I would think up, and this was one of them. I did this one first in QuickBasic, which is fortunate because they happened to have the ideal palette for this algorithm in the screen mode I used. Later I implemented it in Python but I had to find the data for the palette somewhere, I found it in the source code for a graphics library for DOS but I forget the name of it now so I can't extract it again. I've also made animated versions of this graphic, where it effectively rotates the palette, and it looks pretty cool. I even figured out how to do it an assembly in like 12 lines or something. I once went into DOS on a computer in a store and went into the assembler that it comes with and put in the code and made the computer display the animated graphic continually (I think there was no way for them to stop it but to reboot). For the icon I took one square of the repeating pattern and then took the prettiest section of that square and then shrunk it.

Do you admire soldiers, are you grateful for them or do you have a critical view on them? Please explain your answer also.

ColorStorm:
I don't admire them, but I do think they're brave, or at least they got balls, because they have to put themselves in very active and dangerous situations. I'm not grateful for them, it's been like 70 years since they actually fought to protect this country. I don't think they're heroes, they're just pursuing their chosen career path, and they don't have a choice to do what's morally right or not, they just follow orders, and they're okay with that.. not something I could ever be okay with. So they're probably a bit primitive. Bill Hicks said they're "hired thugs."

Have you ever fallen in love with a stranger?

ColorStorm:
I don't think I've fallen in love since elementary school, though I've had a few crushes and infatuations since then. In elementary school they were both people in my classes, but I think it's possible to fall in love with a stranger. The essence of a person is simple--you don't fall in love with a collection of psychological facts about the person--and if you're perceptive enough and/or they're effective at expressing their true selves enough you can fall in love with someone immediately. Also, celebrities entail one-sided relationships. To them you're a stranger, but to you they're very familiar, so in that respect you can fall in love with a stranger.

ColorStorm:
Haha what Goli said. I don't think I really care about private space much. Maybe I get a little uncomfortable if people are too close or touching me, but I couldn't pin down a specific distance. It's just a level of uncomfort inversely proportional to the distance between us, and it also heavily depends on who the person is. Heck, if it's a cute girl the closer the better. =P

Should cyborgs be allowed to play in the Olympics?

ColorStorm:
That would be silly, the Olympics are about celebrating human accomplishment. I mean, yes, building a cyborg is a human accomplishment, but you know what I mean. And it would be too easy to make cyborgs that beat all humans (or too hard to make them beat any human, depending on the sport and the current level of technology). Eventually the Olympics would become all cyborgs. Which is interesting in and of itself, I guess, but that should be a separate thing from the human Olympics. If it's about cyborg rights, cyborgs aren't alive and shouldn't have rights. Unless they have actual brains or something comparable, but that would be an unethical experiment to try for the first time. And even if it were tried and found that the cyborg doesn't suffer and they became commonplace, I think the Olympics just aren't appropriate for them and aren't a really important part of their civil rights. Also there would be no point in making actually-sentient cyborgs because it would be unethical to have them as servants/slaves.

Emtiendoo:
cyborgs are just people with mechanical or bio-mechanical transplants.

ColorStorm:
It's just rhetoric, saying whatever he knows the right wingers will eat right up. it sounds basically like whining, whining that he's been impeached when he wholly deserves it. And the right is the party of hate (anti-immigrant, anti-minority/racist, anti-lgbt, anti-poor people, anti-healthcare, anti-social security, anti-consumer protections, anti-employee rights, etc. etc.), and Trump is the most evil of all, but I guess it's effective to accuse your opponents of being whatever you are.

Oh, and one time I felt my third eye pop. And at the same time the speakers in my room made a PPPPPPP sound when the stereo was off. Then I started getting intense visions, then a lot of other stuff happened, eventually leading up to the first time I had psychosis.

In stories about a violent & morally reprehensible character, does the use of tropes like "Hurt People Hurt People" & "Never Be Hurt Again" excuse real abuse in any way? Is it just storytelling that has no influence IRL? Something else, maybe? assplain

ColorStorm:
I think "hurt people hurt people" has a lot of truth to it (though maybe not everyone who hurts people was hurt.. take sociopaths for example), but whether it "excuses" abuse depends on what one's takeaway is. I think the point of the saying is to incite compassion for abusers too, not just the victims, and that can only be a good thing. Monsters are people too. and the less people demonize and hate each other in endless cycles of mutual abuse and hatred the better the world will be. But that doesn't necessarily mean we should okay abuse, we can still fight it and not approve of/like/condone it while having compassion for the abusers. But--and this gets into whether we're "excusing" abusers and what "to excuse" means exactly--should we *punish* abusers knowing that they're the product of their conditioning? I think the answer to this is the general answer that we should never punish *anyone* for the sake of retribution, but only for deterrence and/or protection of the public. If we excused all abusers legally then there would be a lot less law, things would be more chaotic, the world would be more dangerous and dog-eat-dog. So that's probably not a good thing. But it's better to enforce the law by punishing someone with care/compassion, remorse and maybe an amount of reservation than with total disdain.

What do you think about the view that love is just a chemical reaction in the brain?

ColorStorm:
Scientistic, shallow, narrow-minded, disgusting, thoroughly negative/cynical.. It actually surprises me that so many people could lack the depth and heart that one has to lack to have such a point of view. But it's just a reflection of the scientism of our times, and I think the attraction to illusion that one fundamentally understands *everything* (through physics, neuroscience, etc.) and is *right* (as backed up by the forces of academia and moderately intelligent people everywhere) is stronger than the drive toward common sense and the preservation of the sacred within oneself. I think that to reduce love to chemical reactions in the brain, one must defile oneself and make oneself less than a whole person. If taken too closely to heart, this kind of view can diminish one's ability to feel love and communion with others and to see it in others. The reason I said "moderately" intelligent earlier is that I heard from someone with an IQ of 180 (Steve Schuessler, former president of The Prometheus Society) that the graph of tendency to believe in spiritual concepts over IQ is biphasic; in other words, it's high for people of low to average intelligence, it's low for people of moderately high intelligence, and it's high again for people of extremely high intelligence. One other thing I'd like to clarify is that when I say people prefer the illusion that they understand everything through physics and neuroscience, even then it's only a kind of *understanding by proxy*, because most such people don't really know much physics or neuroscience, they just get the gist of it and have faith that love and everything else reduces to it, while all the rest is considered unimportant details. Needless to say I don't believe it's proven or provable that love is only chemical reactions in the brain. I understand that there are some reactions in the brain that tend to go hand-in-hand with the feeling of love, such as the increase in oxytocin, but I think all that shows is that there is a *reflection* in the chemistry and neoro-activity of the brain of what's going on spiritually, which makes sense because the brain appears to be the nexus between our consciousness and life in the physical realm.. There's a couple of relevant posts in my blog, https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/ and https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2017/03/30/are-spirituality-and-science-in-conflict/ Thanks for asking.

Do you remember my question about Roseanne couple weeks ago? Her show now was cancelled because of a racist tweet Ro tweetet on twitter. What is your opinion here?

ColorStorm:
mixed feelings. I don't like this new era where saying something non-PC can cost you your career, I don't think it's right, and the quality of a show has nothing to do with the opinions of its actors and it would be a shame if a good show were canceled because of it. on the other hand, I despise roseanne for being a republican trump-supporter and i can't help but be a little happy her show was canceled , especially since it was for something despicable she tweeted.

Wasserpistole:
But all the other people that were working on that show have no job now as well.

ColorStorm:
i don't feel so bad about that, i guess because they shouldn't have supported her. i know i said the quality of a show has nothing to do with the opinions of

I'm not a loner, I guess, because I live with my parents and niece. One of my best friends is a loner, I guess, because he's so physically and emotionally messed up. Well, I think he prefers to live with a roommate but he doesn't have one right now. My other best friend, I'm not sure if he's a loner exactly.. I know he used to have long conversations with or just sit with at least one person at his apartment complex, though nowadays and beside that person I think most of the interaction he gets with other people is people asking him for smokes and the nurses who give him his medicine and the Starbucks baristas, and he's pretty unhappy.

What's your onion on legally changing your name (or your spouse's) after you marry? Would/did you do it? Is it a typical practice in your culture/country?

I've always thought it's rather lopsided and one of the clearest signs that we live in an unfairly patriarchal society (given that it's always the female in the relationship who changes her last name to the male's). And changing your last name must be a very inconvenient thing to do, since so many things have to be updated.. If I married and my wife wanted to keep her last name I would be okay with that.

RetroKnight:
Daniel's question made me think about something - if you're vegan, is it ethical to 'own' a pet? Does the pet's inability to 'agree' to be owned matter? Is there a difference between using an animal for milk and using one for emotional support?

ColorStorm:
If whether something is ethical depends on someone's ideology, then it probably depends on the vegan. I'm sure many own pets. I bet most of them don't refuse to own a pet for the sake of the animal, so the answer would obviously be yes. On the other hand, if something is ethical or not independently of individuals' ideologies, then it's unimportant whether the person is a vegan or not. It's either ethical or it's not to own a pet. I think there's a huge difference, though, between owning a pet and buying milk. It's a matter of the well-being of the captive animals. Factory-farming conditions are just deplorable and would be totally illegal in a sane society. So if you're asking if it's *consistent* for a vegan to own animals, I'd say yes, it is. As for the animal not being able to consent to being owned, I think it's irrelevant since there's no way to ask it whether it consents and it's probably not sophisticated enough to understand the situation well enough to consent or not. And some animals, especially cats, are free to roam outside so if they didn't want to be pets they'd just run away. And a lot of pets that aren't free to roam seem to be happy with their condition, especially if they have loving and ethical owners. Some animals being owned as pets probably shouldn't be owned as pets though. Like dogs that are constantly tied up, or wild animals in a cage, etc. It depends on the situation.

RetroKnight:
I think what I meant to ask is 'is it *vegan* to own a pet ?

ColorStorm:
I would say yes. after all, veganism just refers to eating habits.

RetroKnight:
OK, I was thinking in a broader sense, like leather, or even vaccines that a produced from eggs, that type of thing

ColorStorm:
i guess whether it's vegan (in the broader sense) comes down to how many vegans actually own pets, i don't know of there being a thing where vegans refuse to

BIg boobs, obviously, because of the patriarchy and the more visual nature of men's sexuality. A girl is (much) more likely to climb the corporate ladder or to get favors or whatever on account of her big boobs than a guy is on account of his big penis, because of corporations' male-dominated nature, because guys drool more over physical features on women than vice versa, because boobs are much more visible and obvious than penises are with the clothes we wear, and a few other more subtle reasons.

I don't feel really strongly about it but I think it's wrong to inflict society's conception of beauty and adornment to such a young, pure human being who can't even make such decisions yet.. and i think it's a bit too 'adult' a thing to go on a baby aesthetically.

Spudella:
Have you ever been stolen from? What did they take? Can be something tangible or something else that was of value to u.

ColorStorm:
One time when I was a kid I had my whole drawer full of legos at my cousin's house (I actually kept them in a drawer, outside of the dresser). For some reason, I forgot why, I left it outside next to the house like behind a bush or something. And this b-tch Vivian stole it. She was hot though. Another time I had $1000 inside my bubble gum machine (in the place that holds the coins) in the middle of my room, and months or years later when I went to get it to use it for something (or just to check if it was still there? idr), it was missing. Turns out my sister's fiance at the time was a thief and stole from us many times, so it may have been him.

Spudella:
I'm amazed at how opportunistic people are. I just wouldnt. Not cos id be thinking oh I might get caught. Just cos it's wrong. Maybe there's something wrong

Spudella:
... With me

ColorStorm:
no, that's a good trait. and i don't think it's that uncommon. i'm guessing most people wouldn't steal because they feel it's wrong, but the ones who do stand

ColorStorm:
out and ruin everything so it makes it seem like everyone steals.

Spudella:
Yeah. I've had friends who's stolen from me.. Makes me feel they just had zero respect for me.

Spudella:

Spudella:
I guess it's more a reflection of them. It's like I feel I should have commanded more respect from them. But If I have to make someone afraid of me in order to

Right now I am listening to a woman who claims "I want to get raped". It is in German, so most of you wouldn't understand it but she really means it. What is your opinion on that? If you have question, I will answer them.

ColorStorm:
I think if that's her thing, I won't judge. I wonder if she'd really like it as much as she does in her fantasies, though. She may be naive. Has she been raped before? Some people might bring up the issue that she's encouraging men to rape, but I don't really see it that way. I wouldn't see that one girl wants to be raped and think, oh, so girls like to be raped, I think I'll go rape one. One issue I do see is that if some man sees this and takes her up on it and she decides she doesn't enjoy it, I'm betting she can still sue him and put him in prison. And I don't really think that's fair.

Wasserpistole:
She is not sure if she has been sexually abused in her childhood. No rape. That is what she said.

I think I'm too deeply/profoundly screwed for therapy to help much, and my situation is rather unique IMO so not many therapists would really understand me. Not even professionals really understand *human nature* that well.

What is your opinion about the placebo effect?

ColorStorm:
It goes flat in the face of the scientific paradigm / beliefs / way of looking at the world, yet it's scientifically proven. This is a prime example of where reality seeps into science's bubble of dead materialism. Yet the bubble doesn't pop; the information is just absorbed, used to the minimum extent necessary, and filed away..when it ought to change everyone's mind about everything.

ColorStorm:
maybe i was wrong. the two sources i just looked at say that the placebo effect doesn't actually affect the body's health, only one's assessment of how they

Do you think a personality shows (in the long term) on a persons face? (i.e. if you're grumpy often, over time you're left with a grumpy face)

ColorStorm:
Yes I do, and I think it shows in other ways than just muscular cause and effect. The basic structure of one's face reflects his or her personality in a basic way. In other words, things more or less are as they appear, and chances are we can't help but take this fact into account, despite all rationalization to the contrary.

What is your opinion about tattoos?

I used to be staunchly against them because they deface the natural beauty of the human form, but nowadays I'm more lax about it, I guess, though I still find it distasteful if someone has a *lot* of tattoos. Especially guys, it makes them look like thugs. They're still definitely something I would never even consider getting myself. Not only because I'm a naturalist/purist but because of the permanency of them. How would I know how I'm gonna feel about the tattoo in 20 years? Or even 5? Or tomorrow?

ColorStorm:
That's weird, I don't remember this spooks scene at all. I thought they were afraid of lions, tigers and bears. =P Seems like having a ghost lift up the tin man and drop him is a strange addition to the film. I feel like I'm a victim of the Mandela effect. =P That would explain why nobody ever noticed the gun before.

Also it seems weird that they'd have the person who's trying to get over his fear convince himself that ghosts exist and then prove it to him.

Wieselmann:
Please describe how you think. Do you have an internal monologue?

ColorStorm:
I have to be thinking about something every second of every day. I can't stand not thinking even for a second. Though I've already thought of the most interesting or stimulating things to think about over and over, so I tend to go crazy trying to come up with new things to think about. I wouldn't call it a monologue, per se, because it doesn't just carry on about one subject (or even a few different subjects patched together), it's many fleeting subjects one after another, and also many of them are reactions to external events or others' thoughts, etc., whereas a monologue tends to all come from one place. I wouldn't say it's chaotic, though, or that there's an ensemble of simultaneous thoughts competing for attention, it's one thought at a time.

Wieselmann:
Does an artificial intelligence, which is indistinguishable from a human, have a conscioussness?

ColorStorm:
Your question assumes that an artificial intelligence could be indistinguishable from a human. I hold that it can't, precisely because it doesn't have consciousness. Consciousness is a vital and necessary part or source of intelligence. An algorithm can't be conscious because it's an abstract thing, made of non-living parts or processes, and consciousness/experience is singular and irreducible. Think of it this way. Is the game of Minesweeper conscious? No, of course not. Well, what separates an AI algorithm from Minesweeper is nothing but complexity and the details of when electrons flow where. The game changes, of course, if the AI actually incorporates brain matter or something analogous. Then it could have consciousness. If it achieves intelligence similar to a human's, then it definitely has consciousness, and it should have rights and it probably shouldn't exist to begin with. I don't believe consciousness is actually "produced" by brain processes, but somehow they're able to interface with and to create an experience or context for consciousness. A good argument for why a neural network can't be conscious is here ( https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/replay-argument/ ) and here ( https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/04/13/why-a-neural-network-cant-be-conscious-2/ ). Note that if a neural network can't be conscious, then a simulation of one certainly can't be conscious, so this argument is also an argument against AI being conscious. I think this whose budding movement in society to give rights to robots is a silly and wasteful absurdity, unless the robot in question uses actual brain matter or something analogous.

Has obesity become a world problem?

ColorStorm:
I disagree with Sean's answer that it's just the natural result of no longer having to hunt for woolly mammoths and such. It's the result of eating out of boredom, eating as a substitute for spiritual fulfillment, eating too much fat, sugar, partially hydrogenated oils, etc. because opportunistic companies exploit us by making those things abundant in our foods, etc. The obesity epidemic has exploded in the last few years despite agriculture (and thus lack of having to hunt woolly mammoths) having been around for thousands of years. If wearing more fat were just the natural evolutionary momentum then there wouldn't be plenty of people today who are thin and happy and healthy. And aesthetics is an integral part of evolution; that's how the human form grew to become as beautiful as it is today. Evolution wouldn't naturally regress and destroy all of that by making everyone grossly obese. And yes, obesity is objectively gross af. It's amazing to me that anybody could kid themselves or program themselves to think otherwise.

What do you think about the death penalty?

ColorStorm:
I don't believe in retribution of any kind, nobody 'deserves' to have bad things happen to them. What anybody deserves is what causes the best outcome for all involved. And the death penalty doesn't make economic sense - life in prison is cheaper - and it doesn't make sense as a deterrent - data shows that the death penalty actually slightly increases crime if anything. The death penalty is rooted in hatred / contempt, which is vile and only exists in an immature culture. It's pure sadism/schadenfreude. We are all one, and everyone is innocent in the eyes of God.

Is wisdom a naturally occurring gift, or does it come with time and experience ?

ColorStorm:
Wisdom is mostly a naturally occurring gift. People like to assume it's time and experience because they like to think everyone is fundamentally equal, or maybe because wisdom is thought of as being akin to knowledge and knowledge and they think knowledge can't come from anywhere but empiricism. But time and experience only develop wisdom along very narrow and specific fronts, and even then, the wisdom is usually an overreaction causing the person to be imbalanced in the opposite direction. Wisdom is like inspiration...

After you bought some groceries, do you want the receipt or usually not? / Nachdem du einige Lebensmittel erwarbst, verlangst du dann stets die Quittung oder meist nicht?

ColorStorm:
Yes, they'll probably print it out and throw it away anyway if I don't want it so I might as well keep it in case that otherwise wasted paper comes in useful for some reason. Also, sometimes you get food and there's something wrong with it (such as it's past its expiration date, or it has a leak) so you have to take it back and it's better to have a receipt in that case. Also, if I happen to get food poisoning it would be good to be able to prove what food I bought recently. =P

Spudella:
Have you experienced shame? Is it useful?

ColorStorm:
I think excessive shame, imparted on you by an abusive person, is not good. Is some amount of shame useful, when you 'deserve' it? I don't know, maybe. The way I see shame, it's an interpersonal function. My theory is that its purpose is to warn others not to be like you, or not to admire you, or not to do the same thing you did. If it weren't interpersonal then it would simply be guilt or regret. I suppose it's also possible that shame is merely personal, if its purpose is transformative, to change yourself in some way so that you don't make the same mistake again.

Spudella:
Thr interpersonal aspect interests me.. Someone suggested to me that in a group dynamic way it signals to the group remorse etc which allows one to be accepted

Spudella:
... Back into the group after a transgression. I would have thought guilt and regret served this purpose

Spudella:
What u said about signalling to others makes more sense

Spudella:
Literally someone blushing in shame is a beacon of warning

Spudella:
Or is it a plea?

Spudella:
Being empathic means I often pick up on others shame and experience it as my own.

Do you differ between limes and lemons? Which taste do you like better? 🍋🍈

For just eating a straight lime/lemon, I'm not sure, probably limes. I know I like limeade better than lemonade. And I just recently added to my Christmas list "candied sliced fruits, especially lime" and I thought about saying lemon too but didn't.

ColorStorm:
I like him as a person, he was very intelligent, scientific, inventive, and way before his time. Cool face too. I'm not that familiar with his paintings. The Mona Lisa isn't bad exactly (and I've seen it in person, btw), but I honestly don't get why it's supposed to be the best painting in the world. The "mysterious smile" isn't that big a deal to me.

Ever drink a cup of cold tea? That was previously hot but you left it there. And u can't be bothered making a fresh one. It's not bad. I mean they ice the stuff.

ColorStorm:
I don't drink hot tea (except once in a while, when my dad makes snacks and tea for "tea time" on some Sundays), only iced tea (my favorite is Pure Leaf extra sweet tea). As for a cup of lukewarm tea.. I'm not sure when the last time I did that was. Years ago, if ever.

Spudella:
Iced tea is juus not a thing here probably cos of our climate. I think Starbucks does one now though so all that may have changed and I'm behind the times

I think it's hard to pick out one person that could be the right guy/girl for you because there's so many people to chose from

true. but it's a paradox when too many choices is a bad thing. because obviously it's like having fewer choices, only better. because if nothing else you could

ColorStorm:
just randomly pick a few of the many choices to choose between and it would be the same as when you have fewer choices.

Have you seen many dead bodies in real life?

Just 1 or 2 at what they call "wakes." And one underneath a bloody sheet. I was just a kid, at the Cutler Ridge mall and was just about to step outside of a pet store when this black guy carrying a sawed-off shot gun walked right past me. I stopped in my tracks. He had a crowd of spectators following him. He was trying to hunt someone down in the mall. When he got outside, he shot at some security guards, missed, and they shot him back and killed him. When leaving the mall I saw a bloody sheet with his body underneath it.

Is there a limit to how often we can feel good? In other words, if you feel good now, does that mean you will feel bad at some time later?

ColorStorm:
I think we necessarily have to have some bad times in this world, but not because we feel good other times. The bad times would happen regardless. Just if you're lucky your ratio of good times to bad times is high. In other worlds I think it's possible to feel good all the time or maybe just most of the time. Though, and I'm not sure about this, I believe that if all you experience is feeling good for too long then you forget what it means to feel good because you have nothing to contrast it to. That's probably a really long time, though. I doubt it even happens in this world.

Never cried when seeing or reading the news. I already know the world is terrible, it all just blends together. I once dropped a tear on the page of a book I was reading (One of the Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch). I've cried a little (maybe just barely a tear) during certain parts of 3 or 4 different movies. The only one I remember off-hand is the part in What Dreams May Come after Robin Williams goes to hell to save his wife but then he succumbs to hopelessness and so his wife had to save him in return.. I thought that was deep and beautiful.

Tell me everything that bothers you about capitalism.

ColorStorm:
- It creates a competitive arena in which the people with the least morals/conscience rise to the positions of the most power. I'm not talking about politicians, I'm talking about rich people, CEOs, etc. That's obviously upside-down and a horrible way to run a society. The reason the least scrupulous rise to the top is because having a conscience can only be a hindrance to making money: it defines things you're not willing to do. - It's a cold, uncaring society that lets hundreds of thousands of people beg and die on the streets. It's deplorable. It's unacceptable. - It pollutes the earth, uses up its resources, creates monocultures, etc. at a terrifying rate. It's utterly unsustainable. - People live in constant, unhealthy and uncomfortable stress over their jobs because their life depends on having a job, but they're easily expendable to their employers.

What body fluids don't you find displeasing? / Was für Körperflüssigkeiten findest du nicht unangenehm?

spit isn't displeasing depending on context. like, i'd love to swap spit with someone pretty but i wouldn't drink it from a cup. pee is kinda nasty tasting but it's really kinky and i love it. cum isn't displeasing, i guess. never tried swallowing it, let alone swallowing someone else's cum, so i'm not sure. tears aren't displeasing, they're kinda sweet (figuratively speaking), in a sad way, maybe bittersweet. displeasing fluids: blood, sweet, diarrhea, throw up, pus

I only like spit from a, in my humble opinion, attractive woman and that is it.

Do you agree with banning people from climbing mountains because they're ''sacred'' to certain people?

ColorStorm:
I would say that hiking on some land is harmless and people should be free to explore whatever land they want, but then hikers do leave a lot of litter (and sometimes dead bodies). I'd say make it legal to climb but illegal to leave anything on the mountain, but how would you enforce that? I guess I'll go with what Zou said, only if the mountains are private land. Although privately owning land is itself a crappy idea.. Idk. I guess if we can litter and destroy the rest of the world we might as well litter and destroy mountains too.

Is sexual promiscuity a good or bad thing for society?

ColorStorm:
The only thing wrong with sexual promiscuity is that it's often a rebellion from the puritanical sexual oppression of society, which means that it can be equally unhealthy for the individual, because it's still imbalanced, just in the opposite direction. Well, I guess STD's are another issue, but as long as the promiscuous use condoms.. Anyway, statistically, countries with more lax/open-minded views on sexuality are much more healthy.. Oh, and promiscuity among women is probably a great thing for the male half of society, because so many males suffer from sexual frustration, and that pent-up anger can make everyone unhappy. Anyway, the only reason sexual promiscuity is so stigmatized is because of the stain religion/puritanism leaves on society which holds that sex and sexuality are somehow dirty..

Andy:
Put your balls on the table and share a controversial opinion!

ColorStorm:
Guns should be banned, flat-out. Not even the police should have them. Other countries are like this and it works just fine for them. Guns are nothing but killing machines, and it's disgusting that they even exist, let alone that people actually want to own them. The simple truth is that without guns, there would be a hell of a lot less murder. No, people wouldn't just kill each other with knives or bats or something instead. I mean, yeah, some people would, but it's a lot more difficult to do it that way, and obviously the easier it is to kill people the more people will be killed. And no, it's not so true that "if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns".. in a society without guns, getting one on the black market costs thousands of dollars, more than most people are able and willing to spend. Statistically, in households with guns the guns are more likely to be used to shoot a family member than to shoot an intruder. And of course, everyone thinks "well, that won't be me / MY family" so they own guns anyway, The excuse that we need guns to fight against tyranny doesn't work either, because if it ever came down to citizens versus the government, citizens wouldn't have a chance with or without guns. The government has the national guard, military, police, tanks, grenades, bombs, Apache helicopters, tear gas, machine guns, etc. etc. I think the people in society whom we have to fear the most is police. They operate above the law (not officially, but in practice) and kill and beat up innocent people routinely. Anyone wise would get nervous even being around them. They'd be a lot more innocuous if they weren't allowed to have guns. Citizens could feel safe instead of constantly oppressed by the police as if in a police state. Anyone who's been paying attention knows that the police are way out of control nowadays and need to be put in check somehow.

What's something you'd change about the public school system?

ColorStorm:
- Pay teachers more - Make sure whoever's the head of the system actually has teaching experience, and/or let the teachers vote on who's the head - Get rid of the FCAT (if it's still a thing, I don't keep up) - Give teachers more control over how they teach their class instead of forcing them to uptake all these new teaching fads, they're the ones with the experience who know what actually works, and by teaching in their own style they can employ their own strengths - Allow students to choose most if not all of their classes, don't force them to take excruciating subjects that they don't need, like math (see my Quora answer https://www.quora.com/Is-algebra-really-necessary-for-students-who-dont-want-to-be-mathematicians/answer/Richard-A-Nichols-III), allow them from early on to take only classes that focus on what they want to do when they grow up - Teach more useful subjects that everyone always complains aren't part of the curriculum, like buying a house, getting a job, filing taxes, taking a mortgage, getting a job, personal health, laws, intelligently voting, first aid, how to be a good parent, etc. - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xe6nLVXEC0 - In Conversations with Gob book 2, Neale/God suggests the following subjects be taught in school: • Understanding Power • Peaceful Conflict Resolution • Elements of Loving Relationships • Personhood and Self Creation • Body, Mind and Spirit: How They Function Engaging Creativity • Celebrating Self, Valuing Others • Joyous Sexual Expression • Fairness • Tolerance • Diversities and Similarities • Ethical Economics • Creative Consciousness and Mind Power • Awareness and Wakefulness • Honesty and Responsibility • Visibility and Transparency • Science and Spirituality - Don't make school so totalitarian; let kids socialize in the classroom, take bathroom breaks when they want, get up and stretch or walk around, etc. - Don't make children lug a bunch of heavy books and other items around with them in backpacks, messing up their spines - Give students more time in between classes so they don't have to rush and get a break - Make school non-mandatory. I know people are afraid this would make people ignorant and unsuited to be cogs in the machine, but school really is an atrocious form of child slavery, a mental-labor camp. It's harsh and unnatural what we do to them, making their lives miserable, indoctrinating them, teaching them to think like machines, teaching them to submit to authority regarding both beliefs and behavior, etc. - Grading on a curve is absolutely ridiculous, it makes it so that by definition some students have to fail and get punished by their parents. And if it really is expected that a certain percentage of children will necessarily fail and get the conditional love, the grounding, etc., then that means the system is terribly flawed and needs an overhaul. It's just not the case that 20%, 50% or whatever% of children *deserve* this kind of treatment.

ZouBisouBisou:
The FCAT is a joke. I lived in Florida my senior year of HS so I had to take it, aced it with no preparation and on short notice.

ColorStorm:
A few of my relatives are teachers, and they say that they have to spend the entire year preparing for the FCAT so they have no time to teach real stuff.

ZouBisouBisou:
And I agree with everything you've laid out, especially "essential life skills" nobody teaches. Still amazes me that stuff isn't a part of home ec.

Probably because we start prepping for the MCAS in Massachusetts in middle school. You can't graduate without it.

Is Krispy Kreme a US chain? We have our first one opening here tomorrow. That old man who's been selling donuts for decades on our main Street in his little stall is gonna be pissed.

ColorStorm:
We have Krispy Kreme in the US, there's one just a few blocks away from our street. They used to have the Oranges & Kreme smoothie, it was one of my favorite drinks.. then they got rid of it and I haven't been to Krispy Kreme since.

Spudella:
Have to say it's one of the dumbest sounding names I've seen. Dunkin donuts we had for a while.

Wasserpistole:
At the beginning of the 1980s, experts warned of an "environmental catastrophe of unprecedented proportions". The forest dying of the woods never came. Was everything just unprecedented panicmongering?

ColorStorm:
It's not fear-mongering. It can't be stressed *enough* how dire the situation is and how we need to change our entire way of life very soon or face the consequences, which we probably won't do. It's probably too late already. Anybody who doesn't see this hasn't really been paying attention and lives in their own little bubble of convenience. On a planetary level, our way of life and consumption is utterly unsustainable, and it's only getting exponentially worse, not better. This is metaphorically akin to driving a car, with increasing speed, directly toward a brick wall. Even if the 1980s prediction 'never came' (which it probably has anyway, just not in a way that threatens our way of life yet), their hearts and minds were in the right place, and it's only a matter of time until it does.

Not sure. Have them too young and you're sort of throwing your life away, and you may have problems affording it, and you'll be immature as parents..

Have them too late and there's an increased chance of birth defects and they'll lose their parents sooner in their lives

I want to say 35? Ideally older people would raise children though, not the people who have them.

ChrisMartinez:
Here we go lol is it possible that industry will eliminate global warming eventually? The evil businesses will make clean tech because the people will want it, it becomes more economical to do so So Greta chill out:)

ColorStorm:
Unlikely. If that were going to happen it would be happening already. I doubt it's just a matter of "producing clean tech" (which would be more expensive), but also about straight-up abstaining from buying and using lots of services and products or cutting way down on them. People don't want to make the necessary compromises to their lifestyle. Who wants to cause such huge inconvenience to themselves when it won't save the planet anyway, since it's just a drop in the bucket? If everyone could mutually agree to do it, on the other hand, then maybe everyone would. And the only practical way to do that is to instate very tough regulations for the corporations selling us the stuff. But that will never happen because the corporations are in bed with the government.

ChrisMartinez:
My thought is necessity breeds invention .Eventually they'll have to, they can't sell us fossil fuels because they'll be no more

ChrisMartinez:
, i feel the climate change supporters are going about their message the wrong way they can't tell them do this so we can save the world,

ChrisMartinez:
ppl don't give a fig about the world U have to show them how it can help THEM ,

ChrisMartinez:
U need to drive this car because it's cheap on gas, U need to eat this meat substitute because it's delicious

ChrisMartinez:
and u'll feel better. Scaring ppl, bullying them or forcing them will never work.They will resist till their dying day.

ChrisMartinez:
Before everyone jumped down my throat i'm actually or their cause

ChrisMartinez:
i was trying to help them If i wasn't attacked not by u but others, i would have elaborated more. i'm no genius clearly but i know ppl

ColorStorm:
Well, maybe you have a point about trying to force people, but on the other hand we shouldn't refrain from telling people the alarming truth.

ColorStorm:
And as for showing people how it helps THEM, most of the compromises we'll have to make won't help us at all on the individual level

ColorStorm:
if the more eco-friendly ways of doing things were more desirable, we'd be doing them already

ChrisMartinez:
Maybe i'm a cock-eyed optimist but i don't see too many compromises that are unreasonable. well i mean getting ppl to leave their homes

ChrisMartinez:
for more eco friendly ones might be a hard sell but offering an incentive for ppl to retro fit their homes

ChrisMartinez:
into more eco friendly ones, may be easier for ppl to get behind. But that would require government intervention

ChrisMartinez:

Keyboard Question: Should I bid on an IBM Model M currently at 60EUR, buy yet another second-hand Cherry with MX Blacks or just order a Unicomp this time around?

ColorStorm:
Those are keyboards, right? I'd say get a Dvorak keyboard, or a Das Keyboard with blank keys, or look up a list of the best keyboards of 2018, which will probably be highly ergonomic ones, the kind where it's in two sections (one for each hand) and each section is a little bit concave.. makes for easier, faster, and more accurate typing. Not that I've ever tried one.

4001:
Das Keyboard looks nice, heard good stuff about it but I'm a broke guy.

4001:
Not a huge fan of ergo keyboards, I like my boards plank shaped c:

4001:
Tough my mon's a fan of those, and they look interesting for sure

I'd be down for Dvorak, but that's as easy as rearranging some keycaps, don't need an extra for that.

My mom works for the post office about 72-84 hours a week for about $20/hour, up to double that rate when she works enough overtime which she often does. One of my cousins on my dad 's side makes about 100k / year leading a programming team at Amazon, another cousin is an Air Traffic Controller, one of my aunts was a COBOL programmer who made a lot and retired at like 35 or something, another was an accountant for the city

I might be scared on a visceral level but I would know better, so my body language might show that I'm a little fazed but my actions would show that I don't care. It's kind of like when I'm walking next to a fence with a mean loud dog that's trying to get me but he can't because of the fence. It's a little scary, but I keep walking right next to the fence.

You knew all that kind of stuff happened before it ever happened to you/your uncle though. So why would it happening to you personally change your mind? Perhaps it's because the closer you get to some particular part of the big picture the more you lose perspective.

Qafka:
One of the world’s religions turns out to be a literally true account of how things are. You get to choose which religion it is. What do you choose and why?

ColorStorm:
Jainism or Buddhism. Buddhism has a more realistic, spiritual view of God and life than other major religions that hold God as some rule-making, spiteful father figure in the sky. And it's all-around more harmless. Jainism is actually beautiful--especially for a religion--because it cares for life so much, just like someone with a big heart naturally would. And it's so self-sacrificing, it seems like it doesn't appeal to people for the usual meme-complex reasons, which probably explains why it's a less popular religion.

Wieselmann:
Do properties such as 'being human, red, male or female, liquid, big or small, taller than, father of, etc' exist in reality or merely in thought and speech?

ColorStorm:
Being human is a category, it implies specific parameters for the physical configuration of the entity, the physical configuration that fits within those parameters is real, but the category and the parameters themselves are abstract/ideational. The same basically goes for all the examples you provided. Note that it's debatable whether certain conceivable entities are human or not, because the parameters are somewhat arbitrary. And some things may show up as red under a specific light and another color under another light. And some people are between male and female. And some objects are liquid but so viscous that they seem solid. And big and small are relative. And taller than is up to debate, because do you count the shoes they're wearing, the quiff on their hair, the hat, the quality of their posture, etc. etc. 'Father of' has to do with events that happened in the past, and maybe all that exists is the present? OTOH, evidence of the past are embedded in the present, and the only way we even know of the past is by the mark it left on the present, so the past is part of the present, in a sense. In the case of 'Father of', the present meaning of the property is that a certain amount of DNA is shared.. to say nothing of the existence of memories of what happened in the past, which are arguably subjective (I say arguably because the memories supposedly exist physically within the brain, so theoretically they could be objectively observed if we knew how to read them), or the existence of video recordings, pictures, etc.

I think they should do whatever they want to do. They probably have their reasons for being as strict as they are about tattoos. I'm guessing having employees with tattoos lowers customers' impressions of the business, and perhaps rightly so. I'd guess another factor is probably that people without tattoos are likely more civilized, serious about their job, or whatever.

When was the last time you felt rejected (any type) and why?

ColorStorm:
Whenever I see a pretty/cute/sexy girl in public I feel implicitly rejected because I know she wouldn't let me kiss her or do whatever else I want to do with her. It sucks. Not counting that, the last time was I think earlier this year when I tried chatting up someone from a dating site and when I explained to her why I don't work she was like "good luck with that" and I said "thx" and that was the end of the conversation.

Is there a current trend that annoys you?

ColorStorm:
There are a few. I'm not a racist or a homophobe, but I don't like seeing people lose their careers over racist or homophobic remarks or other types of expression.. that should be totally separate from their jobs, and this behavior is effectively the same as eliminating free speech. Which is another trend that scares me: a lot of millennials literally don't believe in free speech. Another trend that I think is silly is all this gender-fluidity, transgender ops, anti-gender-essentialism, etc. It's just an overreaction to the oppression of gays, bisexuals, people with gender dysphoria, etc. of the past. It's not really progress per se, it's just a current social craze. Speaking of that, using the term 'woke' bothers me because a lot of the things that one is supposed to be 'woke' to are just memes, which is why the term itself, 'woke,' is a meme, as opposed to something more grounded like 'awake.' I also hate the new meaning of 'literally.' It's based on a really dumb take on what 'literally' means, taking the emotional connotation of it and ignoring the structural/analytical denotation. It's the essence of stupidity or anti-intellectualism.

pastelpluie:
Good answer. I think stuff like gender fluid is dumb because you cant be a boy today and a girl tomorrow. transgender does make sense

pastelpluie:
I think the same about the firing people for dumb stuff they said,its stupid.

What are your thoughts on deepfake and related impersonation technology?

ColorStorm:
If it gets too good it could become easier to frame people for crimes or even just defame their characters. In court, this could have the effect of convicting people who aren't guilty or of having to let more people off who are, depending on how quickly the skepticism of the court catches up with technology. Either way it'll make it more difficult to discern who's guilty and who's not, though maybe not impossible, depending on whether there will be subtle ways for experts to detect a fake.

ColorStorm:
The same basic principle applies to the general public, either people will be easily duped with regard to character assassination, or people will generally stop

What are your thoughts on charities who reject donations from people or organisations they do not wish to be affiliated with?

It's noble and everything, but it's pointless IMO, unless from a purely PR point of view. It's not like the people they don't wish to be affiliated with will have any power over them just because they donated, and money is money. I think it's a shame for a charity to turn down money that somebody is willing to give them for whatever reason (though again, maybe it's necessary for public relations reasons).

I guess it can be, but teasing can also be a form of ... I dunno, affection? Fun? Healing? And in some cases gentle correction, at least/especially between parent and child. I noticed that friends tease each other a lot and laugh over it, but I don't really relate to it myself. I think it's only funny to be teased because people's egos are so inflated.

Wieselmann:
Empirical evidence suggests with very high certainty that thought processes correlate with physical processes in our brain. What is a good argument for believing that we can make decisions independent of physical processes?

ColorStorm:
The television argument (or whatever it's actually called). You can see that what appears on the screen correlates with things that are happening inside, and if you alter or damage the inside of the television you alter what appears on the screen. Just like thoughts vs. brain processes. But of course none of this means that the contents of what you see on the screen were generated by the television. Correlation isn't strong enough evidence to assume that the brain generates thoughts, and that's all you can ever have--correlation--because thoughts, feelings, consciousness, etc. aren't things that you can detect directly with physical/scientific instruments in order to analyze them and break them down into constituent physical parts. There's also Brood's arguments for why a neural network can't be conscious: https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/replay-argument/ and https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/04/13/why-a-neural-network-cant-be-conscious-2/ Then there is the whole world of evidence in parapsychology, which suggests that minds are more connected with each other or with the world than they should be if they were merely neural networks. Here is an example of some of that evidence along with some background as to why you haven't heard of such evidence as you probably assume you would have if it were legitimate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw_O9Qiwqew I wrote some on the subject of consciousness as an emergent property of brain processes here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/#Emergent

Wieselmann:
Thanks for the sources. I'll look into them.

Wieselmann:
My main problem with believing in a metaphysical spirit is that it seems so odd that it would need something like a physical medium to make consciousness work

Wieselmann:
Why would there be these correlations if thoughts dont have anything to do with the brain processes after all

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, a couple of ideas are: 1. the brain is needed as the nexus between the spiritual and the physical world for the spirit to have a physical

ColorStorm:
experience, 2. when a soul incarnates, part of it lowers its vibration and becomes physical, so the brain and body are *parts* of the soul so of course they'll

ColorStorm:
correlate to what the soul is doing

Wieselmann:
How do you know that a soul vibrates?

ColorStorm:
I don't, that's just what they say. Of course, you can imagine the soul becoming more dense so that part of it is a physical body whether or not it vibrates

Wieselmann:
I dont get why you would associate the concepts of aggregation states with something immaterial like the soul. Why would it have to become "dense"

Wieselmann:
so that part of it is a physical body. It's just a lot of assumption of something we cant have any idea of

ColorStorm:
i'm a monist of sorts, so i don't think that spirit and the physical are made of 100% disparate substances. i believe the spirit, or at least the astral body or

ColorStorm:
whatever, is made of energy that's more rarefied than physical energy

ColorStorm:
though i guess it's a little too reductionist to even suppose that the soul is made of any kind of substance

ColorStorm:
to me, they're not just assumptions. i've done a lot of reading in these areas. i think that solid evidence isn't the only way of knowing things, or at least

ColorStorm:
knowing *probable* things. solid evidence is just the easiest and most incontrovertible way of knowing something.

ColorStorm:
people who rely on solid evidence for everything must think that truth-seeking can be done as a plodding algorithm

ColorStorm:
it requires intelligence applied to weighing many things that are merely suggestive

ColorStorm:
so i disagree that we 'can't have any idea' of this stuff.

ColorStorm:
in any case, i offer these solutions as possible reasons that brain processes correlate with thoughts, so that one doesn't have to assume that one generates

ColorStorm:
the other... so i'm not offering them as things that must be true

ColorStorm:
just that if we can imagine possible alternatives then we don't have to assume that the brain creates thought

Wieselmann:
We can't say that anything is certainly true anyway. But i prefer believing in things that are more likely. What you have stated seems more speculative

Wieselmann:
than what the evidence suggests

ColorStorm:
but i was addressing your main problem with believing in a metaphysical spirit, and i think what i said about it isn't any more speculative than

ColorStorm:
anything else one could say about a metaphysical spirit, so it should dissolve your main reason for not believing in one

ColorStorm:
because it's a possible alternative and it's relatively mainstream and not too far-fetched

ColorStorm:
as for as metaphysical ideas go

ColorStorm:
as far as*

ColorStorm:
btw i believe in believing in most-likely truths too, but we've been exposed to different sources / have had different experiences

Wieselmann:
Oh yeah sorry. I was already thinking about the consciousness problem in general again

ColorStorm:
ah, yeah, i'd say that my arguments in that vein in particular involve less speculation

ColorStorm:
maybe they do kind of imply a metaphysical spirit, i'm not sure, but whatever a 'metaphysical spirit' is is wide open if it is implied

ColorStorm:
wide open for definitions / interpretations i mean

Do people influence and control us in ways we dont even realise?

ColorStorm:
probably, but it's not necessarily something we have to worry about.

ColorStorm:
i guess being controlled unconsciously by a manipulator could have worrisome effects, i'm not sure.

Spudella:
I'm thinking even parents passing down belief systems and fears. And on a large scale society of course influences us. Shame keeps us within certain limits.

Spudella:
Unless we dotn accept any of that and defy it. Then we risk exclusion and ostrasization

Spudella:
Unless we become part of a cult or something that shares our beliefs and then the is still society who may oppose that

Spudella:
OR unless society changes to accomodate new beliefs and norms.

ColorStorm:
you're right, society damages all of us because it's severely dysfunctional. it's all about beliefs and self-image

ColorStorm:
the sins are passed down from generation to generation, because parents don't have the capacity to raise children correctly, they're still getting over the

ColorStorm:
damage placed on them by their parents

ColorStorm:
in a society with better beliefs and norms, children would be raised by elders and we'd have true communities where we can trust people rather than big cities

Spudella:
Reminds me of the movie The Village which showed a community trying to do that. Interesting ending.

Spudella:
I'm not sure what the answer is.

ColorStorm:
i hope it was a positive ending, the idea deserves to be painted in a positive light.

ColorStorm:
Conversations with God books 3 and 4 talk all about how highly evolved beings and societies behave. it has all the answers, though of course we're free to make

ColorStorm:
up our own answers that serve us, as long as we figure out how to start doing things that serve us.

Spudella:
Umm not really lol. It explores the concept of what happens if we make the enemy 'over there' and keep what's 'over here' pure and untainted

Spudella:
I think it was an interesting movie if its generation as it was around 9/11 and its aftermath

Spudella:
The community use fear as a way of keeping their people from moving beyond the village.

Spudella:
So in essence they are controlling and parental. Which is nto much different to regular society. With a different intention yes.

Spudella:
Fascinating ending. The structure used to protect people actually causes harm.

Spudella:
Love multi layered movies.

I saw The Village and didn't like it. I went with some people who thought it would be a good horror movie. They expected it to be different I guess.

People say we shouldn't care what other people think. We should care. It's important to know why people think the way they do, isn't it? Where is this isolated cave that we are somehow expected to live in??

ColorStorm:
I agree, not caring what other people think is callous and isolated/insulated, and not fully human.

ColorStorm:
And those who say they don't care what others think are lying. 99.999% of people will insult you back if you insult them, which means they care what you think.

ColorStorm:
I try to floss with an AirFloss (like a Waterpik), brush and mouthwash twice a day, but often I'm in bed for a long time and don't feel like getting up, so it can be 24 hours before I brush again. Not sure what rating that makes me have.. somewhere between 5 and 8 I guess.

ColorStorm:
A couple of weeks ago I bought a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti for about $1300. I didn't need a graphics card because I don't play computer games much and I already have a laptop with a GeForce RTX graphics card. But I got my $1200 stimulus check in the mail and I needed to spend it fast because I'm not allowed to have more than $2000 in the bank at any one time and that had put me way over.

Wieselmann:
Cant you just keep the cash somewhere?

ColorStorm:
I could, but they review my bank statements and they might get curious as to why I withdrew over $1000 of cash and what I did with it. =P

Wasserpistole:
Is Kevin Spacy guilty in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
No. So he had consensual sex with a girl under the age of 18. So what. In Spain the age of consent is 13. It's all relative to culture and how uptight people are about sex. It's funny how just because the age of consent in the US happens to be 18, people think it's immoral to have sex with someone exactly 17 or under. 15 is old enough to understand what sex is, to have sexual desires, and to have the where-with-all to choose to have sex with whomever. But people think sex is somehow dirty and that therefore it affects children negatively somehow, but that's nothing more than an irrational bias. And on his side, it's perfectly normal, common and healthy for an adult to be sexually attracted to a 15-year-old. We just live in a culture that tries to go against the grain of human nature and demonizes it, and everyone goes along because groupthink.

Wasserpistole:
In Germany the age of consent is 14 BUT you need to ask her/his parents first if they are okay with it. 14 is not a child anymore but children (13 and younger)

Wasserpistole:
lack the ability to really decide such important things. 14 is maybe a grey area, depends on the indivual. No, let children enjoy life in other ways rather

Wasserpistole:
than do have sex going. They will never know the beauty and magic of falling in love, really appreciating the beauty of a potential partners if they deaden

Wasserpistole:
their feelings by too much sex, too early.

Does the gender of your hairstylist or barber matter to you?

ColorStorm:
I've never thought about it, but now that you mention it, I'd prefer female.

nachopee:
why's that?

ColorStorm:
softer/more pleasant energy, chance for a more exciting dynamic since female is my preferred sex, and also maybe a female would be a little more likely to have

ColorStorm:
a good sense of what haircuts look attractive on a guy

ColorStorm:
it depends on the people though, i wouldn't *categorically* prefer a female, it's just if they gave me a choice of male or female without knowing anything else

Wasserpistole:
Can we say that the only thing evil people want is to destroy everything that is good?

ColorStorm:
No, evil people want what they think is best for them at the cost of others. It's not destruction for destruction's sake, it's selfism. But then, selfishness is what I call evil. But I don't think hardly any of the people that society brands as 'evil' actually are just out to destroy everything good. That's a mythical, black-or-white notion of evil and it should be replaced by understanding. For example, Hitler didn't just want to destroy everything good, he wanted to do what he believed was best for his country (or possibly the world). A serial killer doesn't kill because he wants to destroy good things, he has some more specific motive in mind. Take, for example, a serial killer who only kills women. If he just wanted to destroy good things then he would kill women and men equally.

Andy:
What are your thoughts on polyamorousy? (i.e. do you think its sustainable? does it satisfy everyones needs?)

ColorStorm:
Yes, I think it's sustainable, because it's natural / aligned with life. I think there's two separate questions here with regard to whether it satisfies everyone's needs: 1) Should everyone have multiple partners, or would some couples be better off monogamous, and 2) Should it be considered 'wrong' to have an affair with a third party, either by social standards or to satisfy the needs and fears of one's other half I think 1) Some people may want to stick solely with each other and that's fine, but 2) NO. I wrote about this here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/

Is it okay to let a baby cry at night without helping? A lot of people say it is, cause the child must learn. I think it is wrong. What do you say?

ColorStorm:
If a baby cries a lot then you're not taking care of it right. We consider it normal for a baby to cry a lot though, because of some cultural problem with the way we take care of babies. Probably the problem is leaving the child alone in a crib all day. The child does not need to "learn" at that age, and those people want the child to "learn" in order to adapt to their mistakes.

ColorStorm:
I transpose and mix up letters all the time when I type too fast (which is usually), though I don't think of it as anything but poor timing/coordination. Though there was a certain period of time where I felt like I was making actual dyslexic mistakes by transposing my letters, maybe because I was typing slow enough or actually I think it might have been because I was typing on my phone where it's hunt and peck so if you get the letters in the wrong order that has to be a brainfart.

Spudella:
Which is worse? To be rejected for who you are as a person or what you look like?

ColorStorm:
I think it would hurt worse to be rejected for who I am, because who I am is closer to me than what I look like. What I look like is literally skin-deep, but I wish everyone could love me instantly for who I am. If I were less satisfied with how I look or more experienced with being rejected because of how I look then I might feel differently. Actually I probably just had my first experience with that recently, and it felt weird--not a cut to the bone, but disappointing. OKCupid changed their logic recently so that you can't see what someone messaged you unless you match with them out of a list that doesn't show you who liked and messaged you. I messaged a couple of hot girls and they didn't reply, so I assumed they saw my picture and skipped over me and hence never saw my message. Stupid OKCupid. Of course I think the profile info shows too so they may not have liked my profile. Doubt it, though. Here's my pics on OKCupid: https://www.okcupid.com/profile/AirCastle333/photos - the second one I just added today.

No, I can't think of anything I do/have done that makes me look like a stereotype. If there were such a thing I probably wouldn't care much. I'm white so I guess stereotypes are less of a problem for me. Actually, now that I think about it, I think once (or maybe more than once) online I refrained from making it apparent how little I know about world geography or about other nations in general because it's just like an American not to know that stuff. =P

I don't particularly *dislike* it, but I have no desire to get/use one. I just don't like the paradigm of interacting with computers via voice. It's too imperfect. The computer could misunderstand your words, it's a crapshoot whether it correctly interprets what you're trying to ask of it, you get *one* search result and you'd better hope it's the right one, some interactions with computers just make a lot more sense with point and click, or a keyboard, or menus, etc., sometimes you need to specify where quotes begin or end or whether something is meant as an arbitrary word or a command and that would be awkward via voice, etc. etc.

Alizeh:
Is privacy a right?

ColorStorm:
I don't believe there are any fundamental, a priori rights that we objectively have just by virtue of being alive. What we have is the fundamental freedom of any individual to do to any other individual what he wants, and a government to create laws and restrict what people may do to each other which constitutes "rights." So we have whatever rights the law gives us, which hopefully is whatever rights most people in the society agree that we should have. Privacy is one of those rights, but it varies from situation to situation and domain to domain. In other words, the right to privacy, like the right to free speech, isn't absolute. Instead of "Is privacy a right?", I'd ask, "Should privacy be a right?", and I guess the answer is yes, but if we lived in a truly enlightened society then privacy would be unnecessary because we'd have nothing to hide and people wouldn't feel the need to judge or take advantage of what they know about us. I also believe that people holding public office should have fewer rights than the ordinary citizen. This should be considered a sacrifice one makes for the privilege of holding public office. If nothing else, we should get to know all their financial transactions. Maybe also whom they talk to, the content of their conversations (when they happen over technology), where they travel to, etc.

I'm not sure if he's really God-realized or if such a thing exists, but my friend who's generally right about everything believes in the avatars, and it would be interesting to test Meher Baba and see what I think. Of course, if he passes the test there'd be a lot more I could gain from him than just the results of a test. Or maybe Neale Donald Walsch, my favorite author who's able to talk to God directly, at least sometimes, and either way is an all-around godly person because of his past communications with God and his decades-long striving to follow God's wisdom.

In a weird way, the words are sexual while the attitude doesn't seem to be. Or something. I wonder if that song is a turn-off for girls since it goes directly

Which of these sentiments comes to your mind more frequently: "I wish I waited" vs. "I was too late"? Feel free to describe a few specific examples

ColorStorm:
I'd say neither, but if anything then "I was too late", but then the only example I can think of for either is an "I wish I waited." A psychic said a lot of very accurate things about me (yes, I know skeptics will say they were just general enough statements that they could apply to anybody), and I think the last thing she said was that I would meet my soul mate after I turn 29. (I don't know if psychics can actually predict the future like that or if they just say things like that to appease people, but..) I didn't want to wait that long so I decided I would meet her earlier. I met my second girlfriend a few months later (I was 28). It didn't work out that well and I thought maybe it was because I wasn't ready for it. She even related our relationship to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGL2lcaRYqk So should I have trusted the wisdom of the universe and not decided that I'd meet my soul mate early? Is that why I met her? Is she my soul mate? Did the psychic just make that up about meeting my soul mate after I turn 29? No idea.

Do you think it's important for kids to have a regular bedtime? why/why not

ColorStorm:
No, I think kids should be given as much freedom as possible, instead of authoritarian parenting. And I don't see any really important reason for kids to go to bed at a regular time, I think it's more about the parents' feeling that they have to rule their kids' lives.

Wieselmann:
I think trying to achieve happiness isn't a good goal in life. What could be a good goal instead?

ColorStorm:
If you think that trying to achieve happiness isn't noble enough then strive to be useful to others? Though I think that the striving to be happy is at the center of all of our endeavors in life..

Wieselmann:
Actually i think you are right, but just trying to feel this sensation of happiness as much and long as possible doesnt seem very noble to me

Wieselmann:
If there was a way to just lay in bed and get your brain stimulated in a way so that you feel that sensation all the time, would you want to do that?

ColorStorm:
No, but happiness and pleasure are two different things. So are contentment, peace, fulfillment, joy, etc.

Wieselmann:
I think i dont have a good enough sensitivity for what the english words mean exactly. I thought happiness would be something like pleasure and joy

Wieselmann:
and satisfaction would be like this subtle feeling of being okay with everything

ColorStorm:
i think pleasure is a more base form of happiness. it's more associated with physical sensation (though not always). i think that even if you could create

ColorStorm:
true happiness with with brain stimulation, it's generally healthy and natural to pursue it in a real-life context (as opposed to direct brain stimulation)

Spudella:
Has anyone ever urinated, defecated or vomited on you accidentally or on purpose?

ColorStorm:
My last g/f peed on my hand a little. On purpose. When I was a kid I was at some black kids' house around the neighborhood and for some reason they both started peeing on me from about 10 feet away. Once at a local fair I went on the rainbow ride and the guy next to me threw up and a little bit of it got on my shoe. I was trying hard not to throw up myself and I psychically put transferred the pressure to the people around me.

Spudella:
Wonder what's with the peeing thing. My first response is that it's degrading but maybe it's about breaking rules and defiance or something.

ColorStorm:
I don't see it as degrading, it's just kinky. (Unless you mean the kids who peed on me in their backyard, that was degrading:P) Also, yeah, peeing seems to

ColorStorm:
often be used in a dom/sub context

ColorStorm:
But other that it's just kinky, something about fluid gushing out of someone's genitalia that's sexy, something about having warm liquid that's been in the

What is the most attractive quality u find in a lover? 🙂

ColorStorm:
Hard to say, there are so many things that matter, so many different unique personalities and all the possible qualities dynamically play into all the other qualities.. but off the top of my head (I've never thought of it exactly this way before) I'd say gentleness / a lack of tendency to have negative reactions to things.

[2018-08-12]

Wieselmann:
What is truth?

ColorStorm:
I can't think of an adequate answer to that. I could say that it's an idea that would be deemed incoherent with one's other beliefs if it were deemed false (coherence theory of truth), I could say that it's an idea that's deemed useful in applying it to reality, I could say it's an idea that *is* useful in applying it to reality (the difference between those two is whether truth is subjective or objective), I could say that truth is the state of reality (but then how can a proposition be "true', if reality isn't made of propositions, which are semantical and ideational?), I could say that truth is a state of mind that is properly aligned with external reality (correspondence theory of truth). . The natural thing for me to do is to take a subjective stance on the nature of truth, but that's not adequate to me because I treat truth in my mind like it's objective and I don't think that's fallatious. Also, even if I adopted one or more of the definitions above, I think it would be inadequate because there seems to be a transcendental aspect to truth, sort of as if the highest truths are something like religious experiences, i.e. truth goes beyond mere analytical or semantical ideas, and I'm not sure how to capture that aspect in a definition. (Well, maybe the 'alignment' definition works there, but then, it's kind of poor because it doesn't explain the distinction between a 'proper' alignment and an 'improper' one.)

Wieselmann:

Rate the movie "The Dark Knight " from 0 (It destroyed my life) to 10 (It gave me a reason to live)

Not sure I ever saw it, not sure why, maybe because I'm not thrilled with the idea of Christian Bale as Batman.

Wasserpistole:
I thought this movie was incredible.

Actually I think I did see it, if that's the one with Keith Ledger (sp?) as The Joker. I know a lot of people are crazy for TDK and TDKR but I hardly remember

It has three drawers and a mirror on top. I also have a metal umm.. idk, it has metal shelves. I keep stuff on it. I have a Tempur-pedic mattress on the floor.

Are you afraid of other humans in a particular way? As in that they will reject, abandon, Betray, demean, abuse u in some way? Do u think you are or have been capable of doing these very things to another?

ColorStorm:
I guess I'm afraid of rejection by girls (that's the only explanation for why I don't reach out to more girls on dating sites), as for people in general I'm afraid of embarrassment, of them wondering WTF is wrong with me because of something I do wrong or don't know that I should know, and given my nature those are very likely things to happen. Deathly afraid.

Oh, I forgot to answer the second part of this question. I think I'm capable (probably both intentionally and unintentionally), but generally I bend over

Have you been loved for who you really are?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, probably. My mom loves me, but I don't know how accurate her idea of who I am is. I have a friend who once said, in person, "I love you, man." That was cool. He probably perceived who I am. Why else would he say that? And I have another friend who I think loves me, and she's pretty perceptive. I've had a couple of girlfriends who may have loved me but I'm not sure if they just liked things *about* me and projected the rest.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and I have another friend who says "love ya" sometimes. But I'm not sure how well he knows who I really am because he's crazy. Also he thinks I'm a god.

What’s the riskiest thing you’ve done most recently?

ColorStorm:
Today I went to a free yoga class in the middle of a shopping center. I had no idea if I'd know what to do (like where to set up my mat and stuff), if I'd embarrass myself, if I'd be able to keep up with the instructor, if I'd over-exert myself since I don't exercise or do yoga normally, etc. Also I was hoping I'd meet someone there and start up a conversation, which would have made me extremely anxious and probably wouldn't have ended well, but I put myself out there anyway.

Organic or Non-Organic does it matter to you? :)

ColorStorm:
Organic is definitely healthier than stuff sprayed with pesticides, or fed hormones and antibiotics and unnatural food sources, and maybe it's more humane to the livestock too? idk. On the other hand I think organic takes a bigger carbon footprint because it takes more effort to produce (hence why it's more expensive), which means more energy and resources are used directly and indirectly in its making. But all in all it just seems more wholesome to me.

Pedro Alonso Lopez raped and murdered around 300 girls. He was raped as a child, in his youth and as an adult, but still, he did it also. Why?

ColorStorm:
It's funny how people draw these lines in the sand and say that some crimes are "excusable" or forgivable while others aren't, as if we're in any position to judge someone whose mind we're not in. The whole game of "excusing" some crimes and not others is silly anyway because it's so arbitrary where we draw the line. It's all about emotion, how distasteful we find something, or how unable to understand it we are, or how much hatred it generates in us. It's purely personal and subjective. I know you didn't say anything about excusability or judgement in your question, but I'm replying to the answers I see thus far.. btw, see http://inhahe.com/inhahe/favoritevideos/Serial%20Killer%20Cries%20Over%20Father's%20Forgiveness-iY8iWJ5h5aM.mp4

Tie-Dye trendy seems to be back. Thoughts on this?

I love tie-dye. I love anything colorful/rainbowy/psychedelic. I'm glad it's coming back (if it is in America?), but on the other hand it would make me a little less unique for wearing tie-dye like I have been for many years and it would make me seem more trendy.=/ But at least it means, at least in some small way, that the mentality of people is changing to be more like mine.

Whats a book that you started but never finished? Why did you stop reading it?

ColorStorm:
There's a lot of books I've started but never finished, just because I'm lazy. I want to read books in theory but I become less and less interested in actually doing the work, unless it's a really really enthralling book. But one book I recently stopped reading for a reason. It was 'Realms of the Human Unconscious: Observations from LSD Research', by the husband of the author of The Stormy Search for the Self, which I mentioned earlier. I stopped reading it about half way through, because the whole thing was just a really elaborate way of saying one simple thing: that subconsciously we integrate our experiences into coagulations of the same types of experiences, whether they be traumatic, happy, or whatever. The coagulation is started by one experience, and then all the subsequent similar experiences are added onto it, and sometimes these entities actually cause more of the same type of experience. Also, the biggest trauma coagulation is always or usually started by the event of one's birth. So it's a nice thing to know about, but I stopped reading because I already got the idea and it didn't look like it was going to offer anything else that's very interesting. When I saw the title of the book I'd expected the content to be a little more ... textured.

A new belief system (that's not religion; I'm thinking some kind of spirituality) that spreads far and wide because it makes sense to people, either because it's true and potent enough that people can notice its truth experientially, or because it's so positive and attractive and the application of it has propitious results, and/or because culture across the globe evolves to a point where its zeitgeist is compatible with such a belief system. Science is also a contender to replace religion, but I don't think it will because it hasn't yet, and also because it doesn't perform the functions that religion does. And I don't think science *should* replace religion because it's a purely mechanistic outlook where everything is fundamentally non-living and it tends toward physicalism which denies the highest aspects of what we are and what life is.

ZouBisouBisou:
What's something you wore in your youth that embarrasses you today? For me it was windbreakers.

ColorStorm:
Parachute pants if anything. It was the style when I was a kid. I wanted to look cool. On one hand, I'm ashamed for wearing something just because everyone else did, no matter how ridiculous it was; on the other hand, I guess I just wanted people to see me as cool and that was the way to do it. It might have even worked, I remember a girl tripped over herself looking at me in a store once. =p

ZouBisouBisou:
I remember JNCO jeans being a thing. Capri's were popular, I actually liked mine but they'd look ridiculous today.

ZouBisouBisou:
Do you remember these shiny, denims that came in different colors? They were woven in mettalic colors so they looked shiny like fish scales?

You ever been followed?

ColorStorm:
Just old ladies (employees) following me around in stores, twice that I can remember. Once I was on a field trip with my junior high class at the mall in some store with a couple of other kids, and once maybe 10-15 years ago I was at (I think?) Macy's, my sister was with me and later my sister told me she used to work there and that lady was a bitch who was known for following people around. In both cases they made it *really* obvious that they were following me/us, otherwise I probably would never have noticed, so there may be other times I was followed where I never knew.

What challenges have you experienced in romance?

ColorStorm:
Not feeling anything, partner being angry because I didn't show her enough affection, not being able to be together because of distance and my inability to work, feeling like I have to do everything my partner says and can't stand up to her because otherwise she might not like me, jealousy (on her part), her being mad because I didn't want to talk to her much online 'cuz I just wanted to share physical affection with her in person, not being able to connect during sex and she could tell, her spending 10 minutes insulting me in texts, her not talking to me enough, like literally one smiley face every month (this isn't all in one relationship, this is over 4 separate relationships with 3 different people); and outside of relationships.. wanting people who didn't want me back, but more often, being too shy to make a move or to talk to people, having to figure out who's a scammer on dating sites and who's not, being rejected for not having a job, being too old for the people I like

Andy:

Why do you think World Trade Center 7 collapsed?

ColorStorm:
I guess the official story is that vibrations in the ground from the first two buildings collapsing caused it, but I think there are arguments out there of why it had to be a bomb.. I don't know. I'd have to do more research to decide. But considering past inquiries into the whole WTC thing and my dispositions I'd probably be convinced that it was bombs.

Wasserpistole:
I have one wild theory. It's an experiment from certain people that wanted to see, or to confirm their believe, that most of us are stupid and gulliable as fuck

Wasserpistole:
First news agencies reported that WTC 7 collapsed before it even happened. No outcry. No plane ever crashed into WTC 7 and it collapsed, also the way how it

Wasserpistole:
collapsed is too much for many architects to handle, to be honest. The offical WTC commisson reported (700 pages) won't mention 7 and people who asking

Wasserpistole:
questions are judged as crazy and shit. If I am profoundly wrong with one of the points I mentioned, please correct me.

ColorStorm:
I don't know enough about it. I don't disagree. (Well, I disagree that their reason would be just to confirm that people are gullible. More likely a false flag

ColorStorm:
operation or something.)

ColorStorm:
I mean it's just way too drastic a measure just as an experiment in gullibility, even for the government.

Wasserpistole:
Okay, good point. Then it was only one of many points on their agenda. That whole tragedy started wars and killed many people, they needed it as an excuse also.

Wasserpistole:
Marcie Bianco wrote this: “Women are increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression.” How would you respond?

ColorStorm:
Not all women can easily (or at all) become bisexual/lesbian, and for those women who aren't born lesbian I think a lesbian relationship would be less fulfilling or less real in a way, because it's the opposite energies of men and women that make the spark of romance so potent. I understand that there's a lot of resentment between the two sexes these days, but I don't think that a full-on mutual retreat, separating men from women and furthering the schism between them, is the answer. The answer is to work through the issues that cause the resentment, and the first step to doing that is identifying them. Somebody should do that.

The answer is to work through the issues that cause the resentment, and the first step to doing that is identifying them. Somebody should do that. Of course, the oppression of women isn't necessarily something that men as a whole want to 'work through'; they may prefer it that way, just as if men were being kept down by women then women would prefer to keep it that way (or maybe it is something men want to work through: in today's 'woke' culture a lot of men are starting to support equality between men and women), but I don't think that the oppression of women is a main ingredient in romantic/sexual relationships or vice versa.

ColorStorm:
Yes. There are probably some shows out now that I'd want to start watching regularly (there are *tons* of shows out now, and I do have Netflix), but I refuse to go through the effort of weeding them out because I know the vast majority of them I wouldn't be interested in. Of the shows I am familiar with, I only watch three religiously: South Park, Family Guy, and Conan. Sometimes I watch other (non-fiction) shows when I'm bored and they happen to be on like What on Earth on the Science channel. Oh and sometimes I also watch SpongeBob.

There are women who eat their own placenta. What do you think about it?

ColorStorm:
I don't think it's necessary, and I think it's gross. Though I appreciate their naturalism behind it. I think the more things we do in the natural way, the better. In this case I think that the nutritional benefit is slight compared to the grossness of doing it and there are other ways to get that nutrition. Also I think it may not be natural for humans to eat placentas because we're not animals. (We are animals, but you know what I mean.)

I always disable autocorrect on my phones.

Can we fall out of love without pain, without being hurt?

ColorStorm:
We tend to go into relationships for all the wrong reasons, and as a result we're too demanding of the other, too possessive of them, we expect them to make us happy and I don't think that's their rightful job. Maybe we got into relationships for the right reasons then breakups would be friendly and non-hurtful? I don't know. 'Just me' makes a good point, they become a part of you and you become a part of them, so losing them is like losing a part of yourself. And everyone wants to love and be loved, when a lover leaves that closes a major door on the opportunity to do that. I can see how it might cause grief even in what I'd call a 'pure relationship'. But would it necessarily? I don't know. And would it cause *as much* grief or pain as an unhealthy relationship following the typical social patterns? I think not.

I recommend the Conversations with God series of books to everyone. Probably best to start with book 1.

ColorStorm:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversations_with_God#Complete_Title_List_of_All_CWG_Books[5]

Spudella:
That fuckin donate to Wikipedia thing came up and I can't see the full link. I've read some of those I think. I've Been trying to hurt myself all day and

Spudella:
Crying and hating myself. Something is pushing me over the edge. Myself and all the obstacles I face. I'm using the obstacles to push me further

Spudella:
Can't seem to stop. There's just rejection everywhere.

Spudella:
And judgement and blame. And everyone happy to dump their guilt on me and run..

Spudella:
I will be dead soon if I can't forgive myself.. Although maybe this is better than killing others.

ColorStorm:
I think guilt is putting oneself down / denying oneself necessary spiritual nourishment for the sake of atonement for one's 'wrongdoings'.

ColorStorm:
or maybe it's self-punishment. but everyone deserves the best and guilt is counterproductive.

Spudella:
What if you've done terrible things though

ColorStorm:
then you feel regret, which tells you not to do those terrible things again. taht's all you can do anyway, not do them again, so why worry about what you can't

ColorStorm:
change (the past)

ColorStorm:
regret won't kill you, but guilt will

ColorStorm:
also, you're not teh same person you were when you did those terrible things

ColorStorm:
i think everyone is ultimately innocent. we always have our reasons for what we do. even if taht reason is we were ignorant

ColorStorm:
conversations with god explains this better than i could

ColorStorm:
he also says something like, do what you can to heal, or apologize, or express the love you really feel, or something like that, i don't remember exactly, and

ColorStorm:
then just let it go and move on

Spudella:
I'm just scared I'll go back to being angry again. Seems to be my default setting. I need to reprogramme myself

Spudella:
But my anger was reaching dangerous levels

Spudella:
My intense anxiety beneath is what i face now

Spudella:
I have to keep reminding myself people are not my enemy.

ColorStorm:
Have you seen I Heart Huckabees?

Spudella:
No

ColorStorm:
i don't remember a lot of it now but i think it might help you see the unity between all people

ColorStorm:

Andy:
What is your relationship like with people of the opposite sex?

ColorStorm:
i want them, i want them all, okay, not all of them, the cute ones, and i can't have them. i've had some, but i didn't enjoy it. it was too late for me to enjoy it. though i think if i had the freedom to kiss the face of any girl i wanted, i could enjoy it sometimes. i've had good female friends, i have one now but she can't chat very often because she has physical problems. most girls wouldn't like me because i don't have a job or a car and i live with my parents. so i match with people on dating sites all day but i rarely message them.

ColorStorm:
one of the only things i like to do in life is go to the stores and stare down cute girls and have them stare back. sometimes they even look me up and down or

Andy:

Wasserpistole:
Do you think that luck truly exists?

ColorStorm:
Yes, of course. For example take my sister. When she was a kid she used to get Yahtzees all the time when we'd play Yahtzee--way more than anyone else and way more than what's statistically likely, and she'd always win (Yahtzee is a dice rolling game, rolling a Yahtzee is rolling all five dice the same). She's also known for usually winning scratch-off lottery tickets when she buys them and for that reason she tends to give them away on Christmas as gifts and when you get one from her you can expect you'll probably win something. I have luck in my own ways, in some areas good, in some areas bad. For example people hardly ever bother me when I'm sleeping, and they do when I'm awake, even though I sleep and wake at random times (sometimes asleep for a few minutes, awake for a few minutes, etc.) and they don't know which state I'm in before they bother me. Also it happens *way* more often than chance would dictate that as *soon* as I get up (at a random time) some friend, who hasn't messaged me in like 24 hours, will message me. I don't think good luck or bad luck is something that just attaches itself to you like a demon, I think it ultimately comes from your attitude or beliefs and expectations. Though in the examples I gave for myself, other factors are at play (which might not even be really 'luck' as such), like telepathy and synchronicity.

Wasserpistole:
I think most of us just call it good luck, bad luck or coincidence but it really is Karma. That is how I see it.

Wieselmann:
Today i witnessed in the tram how a nazi told a foreign looking guy that he will kill his children and that he should go to auschwitz. The nazi was clearly bigger and stronger than me. Was it wrong that i stayed silent?

ColorStorm:
I would say that there's no objective right or wrong and it's up to you to decide whether what you did/didn't do was right or wrong, but then, I'd probably be a hypocrite if I said that because there are probably other questions where I'd answer that it's either right or wrong. In this case it's just a matter of how much you're willing to stick your neck out, who you define yourself to be. And there's a risk/reward trade-off to consider (in this case the reward isn't for you, it's for the foreigner). I personally think it's completely fair not to say anything because the Nazi could choose to kick your ass and that's not necessarily worth comforting the foreigner, who may not be that affected by it in the long run anyway. If the question is about standing up to the Nazi for its own sake, because the Nazi is wrong and should be yelled at, I would say there's no point in that because you're not going to change his mind. Just let him be who he wants to be. The only point in standing up to him would be for the sake of the victim.

It's not that long ago that mental illness was treated with ice cold baths and insulin coma therapy. Now considered too dangerous and barbaric. We still use shock therapy. We would not do this to animals interestingly. Do u have an opinion on it?

ColorStorm:
In fairness, I think shock therapy is only used voluntarily, when the patient agrees to it. An animal can't consent. Also, how do you diagnose or perform mental therapy on an animal you can't verbally communicate with? But I agree that the state of treatment of mental illness is still barbaric. Even treating mental illness with chemicals is barbaric, in my eyes. It's because of how little we understand human nature. I have a friend who says that all of medicine (meaning not just the chemicals, but the surgeries, etc.) is barbaric. I'm sure it is from some more advanced or objective point of view. But I guess treatment of mental illness falls behind even that. At the same time, I'm really, really glad that it's not nearly as barbaric as it used to be. In my country they can't even give you medicine without your permission, let alone a lobotomy.

Spudella:
Lol. Your naivety about pateirns consenting is hilarious. I've worked in the field. There is force. And there is coercion. But by all means remain blinkered.

nachopee:
What is the most soul crushing experience you've ever had to endure?

ColorStorm:
Worst I can remember is trying to work as a mailman for three weeks. I applied to be a postal employee (took the test and everything), and I checked every box for what job I'm looking for, including mailman ("City Carrier"), even though that particular one terrified me and I didn't see how I could ever do it, because I figured I was just being crippled by fear and I needed to step outside my comfort zone, and I needed a job so I needed to make it as likely as possible that I would get one. Well, I was called in for an interview, did well on the interview (amazingly), and got the job. I worked way too slowly sorting the mail, because I was too stressed out to learn the slots quickly, and I knew I wouldn't ever get faster so they'd probably have to fire me eventually. But even worse was the driving. I *hate* driving (I don't even do it now), and this required driving all day, in a truck with, the steering wheel on the wrong side, while performing tasks at each house. And I was too stressed out to pass the mail out quickly, and I didn't know what I was doing either. I delivered the wrong mail to one whole block. And when there were houses with a wall right next to the sidewalk and no mailbox I had no idea how to give them their mail. I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and that always terrifies me. And I didn't know where I was supposed to park to give mail to the church, the parking lot was full, etc. etc. I just never know what I'm expected to do when working at a job, and that makes me feel extremely embarrassed and afraid to be exposed, and also terrified of being fired. I couldn't even sleep at night, and I can't even describe how bad my mental state was from being anxious about the next day. I was existentially fucked. One night I just decided, I shouldn't continue doing this to myself, so I resolved to call them up the next morning and quit, so I did. (They said I had to come in and fill out paperwork to quit. duh.) I've tried a few other jobs that weren't much better--especially working at a supermarket, which is a different story--but I think "City Carrier" was the worst.

Why do you (not) want to get married?

ColorStorm:
Marriage is based on a lie, the lie that you will know how you'll feel and whom you'll want to be with for the rest of your life. The only constant is change, and romance doesn't work that way. Also it's based on fear; it's basically an agreement that binds two people together so that neither will have to fear the other leaving. But what happens in practice is it kills the romance and many, many people are stuck in unhappy marriages.

Trump is unstoppable. every crime he's committed has been committed in some way by other pres. DEMS can't push too hard.a Fucker from their side will get in & that person will want to break some rules. You can't have criminals prosecute criminals:)

ColorStorm:
"in some way" meaning "analogously but to a lesser degree"? And by "other pres." you mean like, if you add up the crimes of 20 different presidents you might get the amount of crimes committed by Trump? Even if it's true that every president breaks some rules, it doesn't mean that every president is nearly as bad as Trump, all things considered. As for criminals prosecuting criminals, nobody's perfect. It's a matter of degree. If you had to be perfect to prosecute someone else then we couldn't have a judicial system.

ChrisMartinez:
well then u have to discuss what is a "Worse" crime? Obama did bombing raids that killed as many civilians as terrorists

ChrisMartinez:
he also deported more immigrants than trump, splitting up more families, W got the U.S into what is amounting to the 100 yr war in Iraq/afghanistan.

ChrisMartinez:
Where is the line, where does it stop? when i speak of criminals, i'm saying the ppl we think are going to clean up the system the REPUBS & DEMS

ChrisMartinez:
profit from that broken system, and have been put into power by it. they will never fix it

ColorStorm:
i guess they're both corrupt, but I feel like the republicans are more likely to vote in favor of big business, against protective regulations, against the

ColorStorm:
environment, against things that would lessen the absurd wage gap, for things that enable companies to have further undue influence on legislation

ColorStorm:
sometimes the votes are down the line, *all* democrats vote one way (the right way) and *all* republicans vote the other way, predictably

ColorStorm:
so they may both be corrupt but i think the republicans are moreso

ColorStorm:
so, I don't know the way to 'fix the system' (or if we can expect to), but I think that the best step we can take is to vote blue.

ChrisMartinez:
But even when u pick democrats which ones do u pick the ones who got Hilliary to the final round against trump.

ChrisMartinez:
The worst thing about the broken system is it recruits more ppl, and takes good politicians and twists them

Andy:
Do you think you can learn to be charismatic?

ColorStorm:
Maybe, but some fundamental personality elements probably have to fall into place, things that are deep enough that we're neither aware of them nor have control over them normally. So normally, I think it may be like Sean said, you can change it a little but not a profound amount. Of course, like Wasserpistole said, if you're charismatic then you must have become that way at some point, if not in this life then in previous lives, but I don't know that it's necessarily the result of conscious effort. I think a lot of what we are, we unconsciously become, not necessarily because we're subject to forces outside ourselves, but also because our own love drives us there unknowingly through the process of life.

On The Joe Rogan podcast he had Kyle Kulinski on & he brought up the concept of Direct Democracy. so in the US we would vote on issues as well as pres' If that issues is voted on favorably than it gets done basically, what do u think of it? :)

ColorStorm:
It's hard to say which is best between direct democracy and representative democracy. The problem with direct democracy is that your average person is way too dumb and/or at least too uneducated in the relevant fields to decide on many issues, so the deciding is better left to representatives who are smart and know stuff. On the other hand, there's a lot of corruption, especially now, and we desperately need to end it, and direct democracy seems like it could be a way out of that.

At first I want to say what Daniel said, but when looking deeply into it I kinda get the hunch that the very fact that a being continues to exist at that moment means that, on the most fundamental level, it wants to exist. I think we're constantly creating ourselves anew and existing is a choice.

Do you believe that ghosts exist?

ColorStorm:
I think they probably do, there's wayyyyy too many stories of ghost sightings, I'm sure at least 1 in 2 people have seen a ghost at some point in their lives, and when you look into most of the stories critically it seems impossible/unlikely that they were just illusions. And hallucinations aren't a thing that normally happens to healthy people. And very often more than one person sees/hears the ghost. And many places have much more sightings than others and get a reputation for being haunted. Especially hospitals and other places where lots of deaths occurred, which makes sense. You could just assume they're all lying but I don't think half of all people are pathological liars and I think it's too convenient to assume that in order to retain one's physicalist worldview, it's denialistic. It seems that for a whole lot of people the thing that turns them from a skeptic to a believer is actually seeing a ghost.

Good idea, extremely useful. Its popularity says it all. I also think it's stupid and unfortunate that teachers/professors say you can't use Wikipedia as a source. There's nothing wrong with Wikipedia, their problem with it is just that it made getting information too convenient and they miss the old days of students having to work hard to gather information. A study was done to see how many errors Wikipedia had per article compared to the Oxford encyclopedia, and the result was a difference of like half a percentage.

I bought a couple of websites on Gadaddy. I din't know what I was doing so I ended up buying a Managed Wordpress account *and* a cPanel Linux account. I don't need *both*..

Andy:
Did you think you could sell the websites on for profit?

ColorStorm:
nope

Andy:
oh I misread - the accounts? Wordpress is pretty easy from my limited experience with it

ColorStorm:
yeah, it's easy. i just thought that when i was buying the managed wordpress account that i would be able to do other things with it too

ColorStorm:
but you have to get a cPanel linux account or whatever to do other things.

I know. Its hard for me to transfer the sensation of the feeling into words. It's felt on so many levels

Spudella:
But yes not wanting to feel exposed/seen

A diminished feeling

Painfully diminished

Maybe I just belong in the 80's when I was cool to sing song lyrics like 'I just died in your arms tonight' lol. 🎶. What were u like in the 80's or were u even born? 🕺

ColorStorm:
terrified of everyone, never spoke to anyone except my mom and my sister (to fight with her) and i guess a couple friends i had around the neighborhood. bright, intense, philosophical, rich inner life, but miserable

Spudella:
I wasn't allowed do every much. I didn't rebel much but I did sneak off to a few discos.

Spudella:
I was ill a lot. So I just did well at school seeing as I couldn't play sports.

Spudella:
Watched a lot of TV too

Spudella:
Then I got kicked out of my grandma's and go live with my biological mother. Was bullshit.

ColorStorm:
i was way too terrified of my dad to rebel. otherwise i would have run away. if i even had anybody's house to go to, which i didn't because i never talked to

ColorStorm:
anyone. i was never interested in doing well at school, it was just burdensome labor. wasn't interested in sports either.

Spudella:
I grew up surrounded by paranoia, secrets and general insanity. My grandmother cared for me so well yet in the end betrayed me. Was the women held power in

Spudella:
Is faith in something necessary? In oneself to survive I guess. Is hope necessary? I'm struggling with both at the mo. I need a life raft I think.

ColorStorm:
I think faith is a good thing, but not blind faith. Faith comes from experience (not necessarily experience in this life--that's why it's faith instead of knowledge). Just don't throw away what faith you happen to have. Hope, if you give up hope you shut down an important part of yourself. And you just kind of drift. Also, I remember in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Iroh said to Zuko, never give up hope, because if you do you'll give in to your most base desires (which would obviously be self-destructive).

Wasserpistole:
What is the main reason for people being extremely overweight in your (humble) opinon?

ColorStorm:
they're addicted to food because modern society doesn't provide the context or the proper upbringing for true fulfillment in life. and the food that's most addictive is the most fattening (sugar, fat, etc.). that kind of food is everywhere because it sells and the companies just care about the bottom dollar to the exclusion of giving a shit about anybody but themselves. also i've heard that partially hydrogenated oils make you fat (in addition to killing you slowly), and companies use that a lot because it's a cheap way to give food a longer shelf-life. i don't know what the bigger factor is, the availability of sugar and fat, the inherent addictiveness of it, or the lack of fulfillment in many people's lives.

It depends on which truths, obviously, and some countries probably hide more than others.. but are there *some* truths that are illegal to expose for any given country? I don't know, probably. I can't imagine a government with full transparency. Will this always be the case? I don't know, I'm hoping for an eventual cultural and spiritual revolution (or even gradual evolution).. Btw I think it speaks a lot that Julian Assange found a country willing to protect him.

There's no chocolate bar I like unless you count the ones that are just pure chocolate. And cookies are okay but I only eat them once in a while.

Have you ever looked at a person of the same sex and wondered if u could be bicurious? If you're straight I mean. I find Kristen Stewart attractive in movies.

ColorStorm:
No. But women, being the fairer sex, seem to be much more prone to that than men. And Kristen Stewart is very attractive. 😍

Spudella:
Being the fairer sex and making them prone to it? Like it's a germ to be caught if you're weak and vulnerable? Oh please. Get out of your fantasy land.

Spudella:
She'd destroy you. Dont mistake emotionality with vulnerability.

Spudella:
And u didn't answer the question. Dont assume u know what a woman wants. Answer as a man dickhead. Or are u enjoying being a provocative cunt again.

no, i didn't mean like a germ, or like it's a negative thing. i didn't mean to be provocative.

ColorStorm:
no, i didn't mean like a germ, or like it's a negative thing. i didn't mean to be provocative.

What is your opinion about the work the NASA is doing?

ColorStorm:
People think it's the pinnacle of humanity to reach for the stars (almost literally), but a much nobler / more sane / more compassionate way to spend that money would be on people who can't even afford food or a home.. I know you could say that about a lot of the things we spend money on as a society, but the difference here is that people consider the spending to be for a great and noble purpose, when it (or at least some of the things they spend money on) serves no practical purpose. If everyone were doing fine here on Earth, sure, I'd say reach for the stars, but..

Is the sun for you (more) a healer or a destroyer?

ColorStorm:
It depends on my state of mind. For much of my life the sun felt like an oppressing force, like it wanted to beat me down to the ground and kill me. Nowadays it doesn't feel so much like that, but it seems excessively bright. I have to wear sunglasses when I go out in the day. A couple of times when I was in a state of psychosis and extremely heightened consciousness I've closed my eyes and then pointed my eyelids directly up toward the sun and 'drank' the sunlight. Like literally I could feel the energy of the sunlight pouring into me like a liquid. It was very healing and fulfilling.

Regrets? Yes. I should have had a child.

ColorStorm:
Sometimes I wish I'd taken the opportunity to have unprotected sex with a girl when I was about 18-20 because then I could have a 20-year-old child by now. That would be interesting. And, of course, my superior genes need to be propagated.. On the other hand, most people don't enjoy life more than they do enjoy life, so it's inconsiderate/selfish to have children. Also I learned recently that only about 1 in 20 sexual encounters between young couples results in pregnancy so I probably wouldn't have a child anyway.

What is the most unusual fear you have ??

ColorStorm:
I used to be afraid of toilets for many years. One time when I was a kid I was sitting on a toilet in a public restroom and the plumbing made the water start rocking back and forth in the toilet drastically. It scared me so much I crawled out of the stall under the door (couldn't waste time unlocking the door first) with my pants still down. My mom thinks I was afraid of toilets because one time the toilet in the bathroom was overflowing and my mom and dad were yelling at each other about it and I was in the bathroom too. Knowing how intensely my parents argued and how nasty my dad was I can believe it. I was afraid of toilets at least until my early 20's, not sure when it subsided.

Emtiendoo:
Would you define human history as more progressive or cyclical?

ColorStorm:
It has aspects of both--kinda. I think there's a large degree to which "history repeats itself", but I don't see it as cyclical so much as events and progressions (with an eventual end such as a revolution) repeating themselves at different places at different times. (I suppose you could call those progressions followed by destruction cycles even if they don't happen with regular timing.) Then there are kinds of progressions that take us gradually more and more into territories we've never been in. Some of those aren't progressive in the sense of actually making us happier though (like technology and capitalism) and some may be (such as fewer wars over time). Agriculture and medicine give with some hands and take with others so it's hard to say about those. As for which takes the front seat--progression or cycles, I'm not sure. It depends on whether you call repeated history "cyclical", and also, there are probably fewer things that are truly progressive than things that repeat, but those fewer things that are truly progressive are a lot more important. Also it depends on whether you call things that change over time but don't actually make us happier "progressive."

one time I was waiting to be entered into the mental hospital and this guy says to me, "Do you know you are the devil?" And I said something like, 'how do you know? You've never seen me before." and he said, "I see you all the time.. in my dreams." a little later he sat next to me, I think there was some kind of (positive) energy exchange.

Spudella:
Ive been called stuff like that by people in distress. Its like they park it in the other person. I accept it if they are suffering. I can sense their need.

Spudella:
Very few people are able to hold my distress.

Alizeh:
Which is more important: The human body , or the human mind ??

ColorStorm:
The human body is just dead weight without the mind, it won't move and has no/little use. The mind, on the other hand, could conceivably do anything it wants to and be free and happy without the body. So I'd say the mind.. but that's not to say that the body isn't of crucial importance; we chose to incarnate into bodies and have this earthly experience for a reason, and the body is an awesome vehicle.

Oh fab. It appears I am not so unique in my belief that the 'mind' and consciousness and thoughts are just electrical by products of the material brain. This is called neurocentrism. I am a 'neurocentric'. Well fuck me if didn't need a new label 😂

ColorStorm:
Yes, a lot of people share your view. I think the view is scientistic and wishes to take a shortcut in the feeling that one understands everything in the universe, even to the extent of degrading one's sense of self/others/life by reducing it to non-living material. I've written about why I think the position is illogical here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/#Emergent

What doesn't scare you anymore? / Was ängstigt dich nicht mehr?

ColorStorm:
Probably pitch black darkness. It's been a while, so I'm not sure. When I was young I was terrified of the dark, but *only* if it was pitch black with nothing visible at all, not even an LED alarm clock. The reason wasn't that I was afraid of what might be lurking in the dark, but because I had no way of knowing whether I was actually blind.

ZouBisouBisou:
In your opinion, should we place limits on free speech? The UK's awful libel laws makes me think no.

ColorStorm:
I would say, somewhat reluctantly, that there have to be some practical limits, like for example .. well, let's just say many of the ones we have here in the US. But I don't think we should impose *more* limits on free speech like a lot of the stupid millennials want. One reason, not the only reason, being that if you start allowing free will to be arbitrarily compromised, you can't predict what directions it will go in / whose favor it will serve, whose pockets it will line, whose power it will protect, etc. Even good-intentioned limits on free speech can be infuriating because groupthink isn't always right.

Do you like and enjoy art? Classical music, paintings, poems etc.?

ColorStorm:
*All* music is art, so I like and enjoy art every day. I also like some paintings and other kinds of visual art that some of the people I follow on Twitter make, like https://twitter.com/ArchAngLJabroni/status/1177434847306047488/photo/1 . I like a few poems that I've run across over the years ( http://inhahe.com/poems.html ), but I don't go out of my way to read poetry unless you count the poets I follow on Twitter. I like some classical songs, but I'm not a big fan of just listening to the classical music radio station.. I did go through a phase many years ago where I did, and also a phase where I listened to baroque 24/7 online.

Wasserpistole:
Not all music is art. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKnoWqU1hxk

I've never shaved my head, but I cut my hair every few months when it starts looking a little unkempt, and I got it pretty short, just because I'm bald so it looks best that way now. I use a clipper with an extension thing on it that makes it ]cut longer and it also has a vacuum and a container area that the cut hair vacuums into so that it doesn't get all over the place.

Chinese because their culture is so old. That's a lot of time to build true character. Also any tribal culture because their way of life is so drastically different from ours and no natural, untainted. Naturalism is very important to me.

So I'm still using the $15 one, but it vibrates pretty much the same as the new one I got. The bristles on this one are pretty soft because I've been using the same tooth brush head for years. =P

No, I like Beethoven but I don't get this song. With the exception of the chord (if that's what the part I'm thinking of is), the notes sound random and amelodic. I only like songs that have a discernible and decent melody.

Wasserpistole:
Beethoven didn't understand the immense success this work had either. It is a wonderful sonata (in my opinion) but master wrote much better sonatas.

Wasserpistole:
What is the worst punishment in your opinion? The death penalty or to keep them in prison for the rest of their lives?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, on one hand, theoretically at least, the person who gets life imprisonment always has the option of killing themselves, so life imprisonment is better because you're giving them the choice. Also like I said in another answer on retrospring, I think on a fundamental level a being *chooses* to exist from one moment to the next, so on a fundamental level if it didn't really want to exist it wouldn't. On the other hand though, I believe in life after death, and I think it's much better than this world--let alone prison. Though I don't think the death penalty was better back when they were killing people with the electric chair (and some places still have it as an option), because the electricity wrecks their etheric body and gives them a hell of a time getting reoriented in the afterlife. I read once that the person who invented the electric chair was a sick bastard who knew this.

Here is the scenario: "Your 12 year old stepdaughter openly wants to order sex toys online for her pleasure and she means it." How do you react?

ColorStorm:
I'd think she's a little young to be stimulating herself by unnatural means. I'd try to convince her to find a nice boy to satisfy her instead.

Wasserpistole:
So far I am very disappointed from all your answers. :-( Dear god, she is a child still!

ColorStorm:
Sexuality is natural in children, humans are sexual beings, we don't become sexual magically the day we turn 18. and it just so happens that there's nothing

ColorStorm:
'wrong' or 'naughty' about sexuality. there is *no rational reason* to be against i t

ColorStorm:
no valid reason to think that it could somehow hurt a child

ColorStorm:
I'm disappointed that so many people just go with the groupthink blindly and think of sexuality in children as 'inappropriate' for some unknown reason.

ColorStorm:
The only reason people see sexuality (especially among children) in a negative light is because we're raised to. The sins are passed down from parent to child.

Wasserpistole:
Now you go to the other extreme and I also don't see things like that. I made you a step-parent to show, that you haven't fucked up her upbringing.

Wasserpistole:
At the tender age of 12, when sexuality should play that much of a role, she jonzing for dildos and anal beads, I mean give me a break. Too early!!

Wasserpistole:
shouldn't play*

Wasserpistole:
But not everything you wrote is "the other extreme" Of course sexuality can hurt a child. Can confuse them, deaden their feelings towards it,

Wasserpistole:

Babies with their ears pierced? I think that's cruel.

I think it's wrong to subject an infant to social constructs like earrings before they're old enough to understand what they are or to desire them.. they're something teens and adults desire, inappropriate for a baby, and tainting their pristine form.

What do you think about raising kids without rules? https://youtu.be/OJlDfgi094w

ColorStorm:
Brilliant. In Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, God says to give children as much freedom as possible, and that makes sense to me, so I'm all for it. People just think it's a good idea to preside over their children in everything because they're plebeians, it seems like a good idea to people who don't really challenge their first, easy impressions/reactions. And school is child abuse. Maybe a limited number of rules is necessary though, for example, if you live near or go near streets where cars drive by quickly you might have to tell them to stay out of the road, at least at a very young age. And, depending on where you live, not to get into cars with strangers, etc. etc.

Either (1) the time I chose to change my name from Nicky to my official name, Richard, (2) the time I chose to take a year off after high school before going to college (I never really got into college full-swing after that or got a degree), or (3) the time I chose to move out of the ALF and into a rented room.

You were called Nicky at some point in real life?

ColorStorm:
From birth up until 5th grade

I was going to a new school in 5th grade and i

Superstition: What does it mean if a magpie enters your house ?

I don't know, I think it means you should invest in screened windows, but the universe *really* wants me to think of magpies lately. Earlier this morning/last night I read someone saying in IRC that magpies like to attack bicyclists where he lives, and then like an hour later I saw a video on Twitter of a magpie attacking a kid on a bicycle, and then this question. First time I've ever heard of magpies attacking anyone on a bicycle, or attacking anyone in general, and first time I've heard the word magpie in years.

The third by far. Even a few words contains more substance / interesting information than yet more chocolates or flowers. And chocolate is just okay--and that's the chocolates I like. Most aren't worth eating. And it's a damn shame to pick flowers and watch them die slowly. People are so weird and destructive. Appreciate beauty by killing it.

Your general opinion about cigarettes?

ColorStorm:
It's truly surprising to me that such a large number of people are stupid enough to start smoking. I mean, everyone knows that you get addicted to it, so after a while you have no choice but to smoke, everyone knows it costs a lot of money, everyone knows it can give you emphysema, lung cancer, etc., and not to mention makes you short of breath with any physical exertion. And probably almost any smoker would tell you that it's not worth it. The fact that so many people choose to start smoking can only mean that most people don't think logically/intelligently but rather just go with whatever's popular, which actually explains a lot, but is very disappointing. I wish that having a mind of one's own were the norm.

Did you ever DESTROY someone with facts and logic?

ColorStorm:
No, because I have a terrible memory and also I'm not very fond of studying (well, I read a lot but haphazardly) so I don't know a whole lot of facts. As for logic, the only way I could destroy someone with logic is if they were making stupid, basic errors with their thinking. Because I don't use logic to show what's impossible--I think when people do that they generally misuse logic in a way that just *sounds* good and actually make hidden assumptions. I use logic more to show what's actually possible, and arguing in a way that's mind-opening is kind of antithetical to the notion of 'destroying' someone (or their argument).

Thoughts on how translational (aka "applied") research is funded more easily and has more visibility than basic (aka "discovery-based") research?

ColorStorm:
If I understand you right, even though it may not be ideal, it sounds like the natural result of a capitalist economy: what can be directly translated into technology that sells will have more funding. I guess basic research could spur technology too, in the long run, so perhaps short-sightedness is also a factor here, or maybe it's just that businessmen tend to like a sure thing more than gambling. Also, maybe basic research isn't as patentable or maybe the patents expire by the time they translate into applied research. Assuming this is not the ideal case, how could we improve it? At first I was thinking a socialist economy where the government carries out all research would be the answer, but we both know that's not gonna happen in the US (or maybe it will? People's minds seem to be changing.. I see a lot of anti-capitalist thought nowadays and look at the popularity of Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist), so then I thought another way would simply be for the government to pour a lot of money into basic research as a foundational/catalystic element for civilization as a whole, just like it does with infrastructure.

When I was younger (in junior high) I had some LA Gear sneakers with really long shoelaces, actually two shoelaces on each shoe, one blue and one white, and the shoes were blue and white, and the patterns really mesmerized me.

Is humanity headed in the right or wrong direction?

ColorStorm:
Humanity has been headed nowhere for thousands of years, with just continuing chaos, pain, suffering, malice, cruelty, corruption, selfishness, etc. (well not *just* that, but way too much of it); the only thing different today is the age of scientific enlightenment, which has made us miserably left-brained and has given us the keys to cause more destruction than in any other period on Earth. Today we're starting to recognize the need for change, but that change will come too little, too late. Besides our impending doom (due to our destruction of the environment), which is by far the bigger factor in all of this, if many sci-fi enthusiasts get their way with a transhumanistic future then scientific/scientistic enlightenment will only bring us to darker and darker days.

Wieselmann:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duBRl0gRBDs What do you think about what he says in this video?

ColorStorm:
He's saying it's contradictory to treat all kinds of sex as perfectly fine and at the same time expect there to be no issues with consent, but I think those things are only vaguely contradictory, and I think he's implicitly decrying non-traditional sex that way, and I see his issue with non-traditional sex as being simply his issue. He may have some good points about consent, though. He's also saying that people don't do well with sex outside of a long-term commitments, and even goes so far as to \*maybe\* imply that that should be enforced.. First, I think the okayness of casual sex totally depends on the person. I think it works just fine for many people. Second, I think even if casual sex worked out well for \*nobody\*, that's still not justification for enforcing against it.. He seems to be a fuddy duddy hardcore conservative when it comes to sexuality, wanting to keep certain types of sex as taboo and wanting to make casual sex illegal, while not exactly outright stating that so as not to lose too many people. I said all that before I'd watched the whole thing though, because I didn't want to forget my thoughts, and his argument seems a little more moderate/nuanced now. And again, I think he has some good points about the craze over consent, solving the problem though mobbing people who did something we consider untoward (mobbing people who go against modern hive-mind morality seems to be the way we do things nowadays in general, not something just limited to sexual consent..), the absurdity of having to sign papers as I guess some people are proposing, etc.

Also I'm not sure if it's possible, in practice, for a government to teach us how to govern ourselves.

I think I did once by accident. It was food stacked away for emergencies that my dad was clearing out. I must have misread the date, because the green beans were literally like mush or gel. The texture was -disgusting-.

Spudella:
Was it in a jar or a can?

ColorStorm:
CAN.

Spudella:
We call em tins.

Spudella:
Unless they hold beer or lager then we call em cans.

ColorStorm:
they're not made of tin anymore, so our terminology is superior. ;D

Do you collect anything? What is it? Or did you collect things in the past? What was it?

ColorStorm:
I used to collect Coke bottles and cans. I still have them all. I even have old Coke jars that say they don't contain cocaine, or something like that. I used to collect pennies, I had about 2,000 of them, including a lot of wheat pennies and a silver-colored one from WWII. I also used to collect coins from other countries, but I think one of my cousins stole that collection. I used to collect lights, like of all kinds, for example a strobe light, the kind of light with a mirror that spins around, lights from barricades, a genuine street light with the the transformer that works, traffic lights.. I still have the traffic lights and the street light. I used to collect baseball caps, I probably have like 150 of them now. I used to collect rubber bands inside of a glass head I had. There were other things I collected too but I don't remember them all now.

Wieselmann:
Should we try to make retrospring more known so we get more users? We could post about it on reddit for example

ColorStorm:
I'd like that (yeets says we don't want the people on reddit here, i don't know, i'm not familiar with that crowd.. actually it's such a big place it probably depends on which subreddit you advertise on. and it could be advertised elsewhere, doesn't have to be reddit.) Andy wants it just to spread by word of mouth, though, so I guess we should respect his wishes. Maybe that is the best way overall. To get people who actually resonate with us.

Wieselmann:
I dont know how to get people that resonate with us. The site doesnt seem to grow overall

ColorStorm:
I agree, it doesn't really seem to grow because of word of mouth

Do you treat people how you would like them to treat you? And then realise they're bothered by completely different things so your efforts are wasted on them if you're looking for some sort of appreciation. #incompatible

ColorStorm:
I've realized that my natural instinct to treat others how I'd like to be treated doesn't work because I'm too weird and other people aren't like me.

Spudella:
Everyone is weird in their own way. Sometimes I hope someone will Just work

Are there laws where u are about noise and not being allowed to cause too much of it after a certain time at night? I think it's 10 pm here before ur neighbours can make that call lol. 📢

ColorStorm:
You can call the police if someone's making noise too loud, but I don't know what time of night that starts or if there's a limit like that. Also I don't know if it depends on the ordinances of the particular neighborhood. I guess not, then it wouldn't be a police matter?

4) she can't even tell u what we should do to help this other than recycle, someone is filling this kid with ideas & exploiting her it's unfair

ColorStorm:
Do you know this is happening to her somehow, or are you just assuming? I think people who don't believe in climate change or don't want to face the reality of what we have to do to solve it tend to think she's being brainwashed or whatever because they don't agree with her ideas so they see them as bullshit. Meanwhile we're going to hell in a hand basket and anyone who even lifts a finger to find out the condition of the earth and what we're doing to it knows it. And even if climate change isn't legit and isn't going to bite us in the face (it is), the various other ways we're living unsustainably and destroying nature are going to. We need to drastically change our lifestyle and some foundational things about society and we need to do it soon. Greta is a very brave and intelligent kid and the champion we need.

What would happen if all people active in and responsible for war would stop that shit and just went home?

ColorStorm:
The rulers would have a conniption over not being able to control their subjects. They'd be overwhelmed though and wouldn't be able to prosecute all of them. The world would be more at peace, at least for the time being. Maybe some crimes against humanity would go unchecked within individual countries, though, without the rest of the world to police them. What else happens depends a lot on how this happened, how/why so many people suddenly had a change in heart, how the revolt was coordinated, etc.

Andy:
If you could have any study paid for, what would you investigate - and why?

ColorStorm:
I have an idea where thousands of people enter into a database everything they eat and in what proportions, and medical history, health, and any medical or health changes that come up, and then a supercomputer isolates correlations between eating specific compounds and diets and their effects. The purpose would be to find best things to eat for health, curing ailments, and what things are dangerous to eat, especially carcinogens, too many people are dying of cancer. Not all cancer is caused by things you eat, though, maybe the system could be expanded to everything you might have touched or breathed.

Andy:
That would be interesting, especially with quantum supercomputers being on the horizon

In kindergarten there was a girl I was interested in in a way, but I don't think it was quite romantic yet. In 1st or 2nd grade I had my first crush (on a girl). It was big. In 3rd and 4th grade I had an even bigger crush. There was never a time when I wondered if I was gay or straight.

Hands are, IMO, one of the most elegant/neat parts of the human form's technologies/aesthetics.

Anyway, mine are especially beautiful (though they're starting to get a little old).

I eish I still had her as a friend. (We didn't break up on bad terms, she remained my friend for a while afterward, but I guess we drifted apart.)

Is real freedom the best thing in the world? If you cannot agree, what is it in your opinion?

It probably is, but you also need a context where you can make use of that freedom. I mean imagine if you had real freedom but you were all alone with nobody and nothing to interact with ever.

Wasserpistole:
I guess we all interpret real freedom differently. In my world, real freedom is only available in solo-mode.

Wasserpistole:
Have you ever been involved in a car accident? Tell me your story.

ColorStorm:
I've only been in a (serious) car accident once. I wasn't the one driving. As I was getting into the car for that trip, I thought to myself, "I don't care if I die," and I forced myself to allow the thought to penetrate my subconscious because I knew that was the only way it would manifest in a result. I didn't put my seat belt on. Sometime during that car ride my friend sped through a yellow light, and the old man driving the car coming in the opposite direction turned left while the light was yellow. The old man was the one who got the ticket. As soon as he turned I could tell we were going to crash, and I said, "Oh, shit." I don't think my friend realized it yet, I think he has a really slow reaction time when driving. My friend's car was totaled. My forehead made a hole in the windshield. I never lost consciousness. Glass tore up my eyelid near the top, but didn't get my eye. I chipped two teeth. I bled profusely. The t-shirt I was wearing at the time was an air rescue t-shirt. As I sat there bleeding and waiting for the ambulance to come, I was spitting out pieces of teeth. Some nice lady stopped and kept me company while I was waiting. At the hospital, while they were gluing my eyelid back together, they accidentally glued my eye *shut* and when they were trying to pull it back apart I freaked the f-ck out. I can't bear the thought of something happening to my eyes. The nurse said, "he's not going to take it!" Eventually they got it apart somehow, though. After the whole thing was over, my dad said to me, "you must live a charmed life" because of how lucky I was not to have been seriously hurt. He would know--he's a retired paramedic. I don't remember what year this happened in, but I know it was at least 9 years later that I pulled a half-inch-long piece of glass out of the side of my forehead..

Is there a part of you that enjoys the drama on retrospring?

ColorStorm:
Eh, maybe/probably there's a part of me that does, but overall I think I'd rather people could just get along. There's a definite over-abundance of spite and fighting/strife in the world. It's not pretty and it makes all involved feel uncomfortable and negative. Also I don't like when people are banned because the more people on retrospring the merrier.

Has your trust been badly broken? At some or many points in your life.

ColorStorm:
I have a theory that my father was so intensely vicious to me, over and over, that I'm separated from everyone else on a level that hardly anybody is because of how deeply my trust has been broken. I'm sure there's a lot more to the truth than that, though--probably more to the reasons that I'm separated than what I'm aware of. Things I carried with me from before this life.

Spudella:
Have you any fear of an afterlife? I have absolutely none. Cos I no longer believe in fairy tales.

ColorStorm:
1) why would i fear an afterlife? if anything i'd fear not having an afterlife. i mean i guess you could fear that the afterlife will be worse than this life, but that seems like a strange assumption. 2) i don't believe it's a fairy tale. i don't consider myself someone who believes things just because i want to, i'm honest and i want to know the truth. i'm also pretty smart. and i believe in an afterlife, based on everything i've read and experienced. (corollary: i don't believe that consciousness is something created by the brain. i don't even see that as a feasible point of view.) i'm not as afraid of *not* having an afterlife as I should be anymore. i just don't feel like there's anything to me worth keeping anymore.

Spudella:
Of course there is something to fear. The idea of continuing on. The idea of no end.

Spudella:
I think it's baloney anyway. There is no more once brain death occurs. You haven't a shred of evidence. Anything that makes me yawn indicates that it's a story

Spudella:
That's been over told and time to put away. Life is majestic. And part of life is death. We return to the soil or the atmosphere yes. Not as us though.

Spudella:
Just the ingredients.

Spudella:
To contemplate not existing is virtually impossible .to try to imagine what it will feel like. But there will be no me to feel. This is is the wall.

Spudella:
Even If u say some ethereal consciousness remains, there will be no feelings no thoughts no remnants of 'i'. So isn't that a death? That self is dea

Spudella:
... Dead. Not just in a symbolic sense. The body the brain is gone. There is no return.

Will it ever be possible to travel time in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
It may be possible to travel to an alternate timeline whose present corresponds to our past, or to travel to the future (through cryogenics, for example), but I don't think it's possible even in principle to travel to the past on the same timeline, i.e. in a way that changes the present from which you came. The butterfly effect means that something analogous to the grandfather paradox would *always* happen, i.e. changing the past would change the present from which you came which would change your state when you went into the past which would change the past which would.. etc. It would be infinite recursion. Besides, even the grandfather paradox alone is enough to prove you can't travel to the past on the same timeline, because causality doesn't operate on the level of macroscopic events, so it can't 'just work while preventing you from killing your own grandfather'.

Do you think you're fit to be a parent? Why or why not?

ColorStorm:
Probably not. In some ways I'd be good, I think I have a lot fewer stupid ideas about how one should raise children than most people, but in some ways I'd be bad.. I'm emotionally numb and I don't know if I'd be able to love my child(ren). Also I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle an emergency or any other unforeseen circumstance correctly because I'm generally clueless about life. =P Also I don't drive anymore because it's too stressful and I don't trust myself driving and I'm poor and live with my parents. =p Ways in which I'd be good? I don't believe in hitting children, I don't believe in giving them conditional love (for example, hating on them when they do badly in school), I don't think that not performing well in school is morally bad--school is a tragic and unnatural imposition we place on our children, I don't believe in grounding children, stealing many precious hours of their time that they could be spending socializing with others which are spirits actually need, I don't think there's anything wrong with children engaging in sexual activity, I'm not religious and won't program them with religion, I know better than to micromanage a child and in fact I think they should be given as much freedom as reasonably possible..

King:
What advice would you give a person who is in love with someone (who neither side of the family agrees they should be with and could potentially disown them)?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, it's a rock and a hard place. On one hand, it can be heartbreaking to lose the love of family (conditional as it may be), and having family is a good thing to be able to fall back on when you need financial or other support. And of course, you'd not only be giving that up for yourself but asking your loved one to give it up too. On the other hand, what kind of man would you be if you backed down and let your family cut off your heart from the one you truly love? And what kind of a crying shame is it to say not to love because of the prejudices of one's family? And ideally they should have no say in who you're allowed to love anyway, and at the very least even if they don't like the person they should tolerate them. So it's tempting to say f*ck that person's family.

Alizeh:
Why do we judge ourselves by our intentions but judge others by their actions?

ColorStorm:
Because we can easily see and are intimate with our own intentions, whereas when it comes to others, their actions are all that's immediately visible. I suppose someone could *tell* you what their intention was, and you could still judge them by their action instead, where you would have judged yourself by your intention.. if that's the case, then I'd say it's because we always think the best of ourselves because we want to feel good about ourselves, while hating on or blaming others is easy, and it's a lot more common for an intention to be better than the result than it is for the result to be good while the intention was bad.

What do you think about "Fries Before Guys" and "Bros before Hoes"?

ColorStorm:
I think "bros before hoes" makes sense, to an extent, because girlfriends always come and go; friendships tend to last longer, so why let them get destroyed by "romantic" interests. There may even be more love in the average friendship, because when it comes to dating I think each person is looking to get something from the other person and it's more like an exchange. But I say it makes sense "to an extent" because if you really fall in love with a great girl then that may be more important than friends.. but then, if she's that great, why would you have to give up your friends =P I've never heard of "fries before guys", but it sounds like a mantra of eating whatever you feel like and not caring if you get fat, which is disgusting.

Hi. What is the difference between to kill and to murder somebody?

Murder is illegal, killing may or may not be illegal. I.e. all murder is killing, but not all killing is murder.

In YOUR personal life and onion, what is the purpose of dating? Do YOU bother dating unless you think marriage is a strong possibility? Do you do it for fun? For companionship? For booty?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't date just for fun because socializing is tough and nerve-wracking for me and I'm awkward and boring. I don't want to get married, one because I don't believe in marriage, and two because my partner's income would take away my welfare, but I wouldn't mind living together with someone for life. I don't date for the booty because my hard life has taken everything out of me and I'm practically asexual these days. Though I do want a girl to kiss all over her face and other places. ;) I date for long-term relationships, maybe preferably a forever one, because I'm not that good at picking up chicks, and I refuse to try to live on my own (and can't afford it) and don't want to live in an ALF. Though I've only been on one actual "date" in my life.

ChrisMartinez:
i was watching Bruce Almighty. what would you do with all of god's powers? :)

ColorStorm:
Woah, that's a huge question. I'd do everything I ever fantasized about. Well, not everything. Some things might be too minor, or too petty, based in anger at the time, and some things I've probably grown out of. I think first I'd have sex with every cute girl I see--I guess I'd give myself the powers and looks to charm each one.. then after enough of that I've evolve to higher and larger things, more spiritual pursuits and helping out the galaxy/universe/planet. But there's always the fine line between helping out the world with divine powers and impinging on people's free will and the need to follow their own paths, learn their own lessons, etc. If I were omnipowerful the first thing I'd do is learn a lot about How Things Are, so I'd know the right thing to do. If I learned this completely, I may not want to do anything more than what God already does--gently inspire from the sidelines. But I may not want to learn completely, because that may imply giving up my identity, and maybe it's not time for me to do that yet and/or maybe I'd just rather have a lot of fun first. I might also fly around and let people see me. And do magical things and impress people with my powers. Then I might work on changing government, giving to charities, saving the environment, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

ColorStorm:
I don't think home schooling is an option for everyone. Some parents have to work too much. School destroys people in more ways than just bullying. It makes people too mentally and analytically oriented and kills the heart and intuition (more for men than for women), more absorbed in data and information processing, complicit to authority and wage slavery, indoctrinated by nationalistic (and also scientistic) propaganda, etc.

Wieselmann:
Does intelligence require consciousness? Why?

ColorStorm:
Yes, because if you look inward during the process of thinking, you see that it's inextricably tied with consciousness/awareness. You use your spark of awareness in a holistic/singular way to magically pull concepts from the air and manipulate them (and I believe this process is one with the cosmos itself). It would be extremely difficult to impossible (and would require phenomenal brilliance if it's possible) to *program* general intelligence (I don't believe you could arrive at it by simulating the human brain), and even if you did it wouldn't be *real* intelligence because intelligence is a living thing that one can relate with as a living being with understanding. It would be *artificial* intelligence.

Wieselmann:
What do you mean by "the process is one with the cosmos itself"

ColorStorm:
I think the cosmos is probably intelligent and that all consciousness is connected. Probably, on an ultimate level, there is only one consciousness. So when you

ColorStorm:
use your consciousness to think, it probably in some way involves the cosmos itself, or at least a part of it.

I'm basically agnostic about astrology, but I believe there's probably something to it. I think the only way to know is to get really into the subject and see if it seems to pan out. I think dismissing it out of principle is wrongheaded/narrow-minded thinking. As for horoscopes, I feel that a lot of them, like the ones in the newspaper for example, try to translate astrological principles way too specifically into everyday typical life patterns, to the point where the predictions become unlikely. They tend to give astrology a bad name IMO.

Kate:
Why does a leather ball fall at the same speed like an iron one of the same size?

ColorStorm:
All atoms (or whatever arbitrary unit of mass-energy we use) are attracted to the earth (or whatever other body) at the same rate. It doesn't matter how sparsely or densely those atoms are situated relative to each other. I can't believe people didn't realize before Galileo's experiment that large objects shouldn't fall faster because this creates several paradoxes. (1) when is a mass considered two small objects vs one big object? Imagine they're two spheres welded to each other? How fast would they/it fall? Imagine they're taped to each other? Imagine there's a tendril of dust linking the two objects? and (2) if light object is tied to a heavy object by a rope, will their combined weight make them fall faster, or will the light object try to fall slower and pull upward on the heavy object while the heavy object pulls down on the light object? What would be the overall speed of the system? Though, TBH, a leather ball probably won't fall *exactly* the same speed as an iron one, because the ratio of cumulative gravitational force to air resistance is less in the leather ball than in the iron one, so the leather ball will fall slightly more slowly. I don't know if the difference would be big enough to notice without precision instruments though.

Wieselmann:
Do you think you would still be conscious if every neuron was gradually replaced by tiny robots that play the functional role of each neuron?

ColorStorm:
Reminds me of a thought experiment someone I once knew posted - https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/03/21/replay-argument/ https://broodsphilosophy.wordpress.com/2006/04/13/why-a-neural-network-cant-be-conscious-2/ (I've posted these here before, maybe it was your inspiration for the question for all I know ;p) I think consciousness isn't made up of neurons, but somehow neurons act as a conduit or as a context for immersion for consciousness. Either way--whether the brain is the vehicle for consciousness or the basis of it--there has to be some amount of leeway in how neurons can be composed and still support consciousness. In other words, if you altered neurons very slightly and in a way that doesn't break the dynamics of the system, the brain would probably still support consciousness. Everyone's brain is slightly different, after all. So the question is.. how much and in what ways can you modify a neural network and have it still support consciousness? I don't know because I don't know what it is about a neural network that makes it able to support consciousness. So I don't know what would happen if you replaced every neuron with a robot that plays the same functional role. My feeling is it wouldn't work: I wouldn't be conscious or functional; but the more I think about it the more I'm not sure. Of course, if the robots played the same functional role in *all* existing aspects, then I'm sure the brain would support consciousness, but then, for that to be the case the robots would have to be neurons as such. Form is function. Only an identical form can have identical effects in *every* aspect. So the idea that tiny robots replacing the neurons might not produce consciousness, and the idea that you *can* replace neurons with tiny robots that play the "same functional role", are contingent upon an incorrect assumption/naive reduction of what exactly the full breadth of the role of a neuron *is* in the whole scheme of things.

Kate:
I'll copy that if you consent. ; )

ColorStorm:
what? copy it where? i consent though :)

ColorStorm:
oops, i should have said, 'so the idea that replacing neurons with something playing the same functional role might not produce consciousness' instead of

Would you ever take anti depressants?

ColorStorm:
I don't believe in them, I think they just numb you from feeling your true emotions--cure the disease by killing the patient. But I'm not saying nobody should ever take them, I'm just very skeptical. I'm on Prozac, but not for depression, for schizophrenia (still not really sure why). If I had depression, I wouldn't take anti-depressants unless it were really life-altering, like they really made me happy (but even then I'd be skeptical), or the depression was truly too much to bear and they took the edge off (cuz fuck life), or I thought they could give me a much-needed break where I could pull myself out of a self-perpetuating rut. But I tend to see taking psychiatric medication as implying a certain lack of faith in the process of life itself and the human form.

ColorStorm:
I only take psychiatric medication because A) I have to, and B) if i don't I may end up hurting myself or someone else.

ColorStorm:
I want to make it clear that unless I'm having a psychotic episode, which is rare, I have no symptoms of schizophrenia--no delusions, hallucinations, etc.

Wasserpistole:
I heard bad things about Prozac, aren't there alternatives? I would tell the doc, that these things don't work for me, then he will give you something else?

I guess you have to be older than a millennial to see through it. Fit - same as above.

In a truly advanced society, beings normally love each other unconditionally... we're just not nearly mature enough for that yet, we feel the need to judge and condemn people (probably a projection of self-condemnation) when the truth is that *everyone* is worthy of love. If you're perfectly pure, with no psychological issues yourself (and maybe you have to be wise too), you can easily love someone unconditionally, regardless of what they've done (as young children tend to do). It doesn't mean you can't feel sorry that they did what they did and feel bad for the victim, but if you have no demons in yourself to hate, then you won't hate them. One other thing: Parents usually don't love unconditionally. Their love can easily turn to judgment and condemnation when you do something they don't approve of, like shirking school/responsibilities, sneaking out of the house, getting pregnant, so-called back-talking, etc. etc. Some parents even disown their children or at least stop talking to them altogether, for example if they turn out to be gay. Most parents never turn their backs on their children for all their lives, though, in the long run (as opposed to in many short runs), so that's something.

You are on a ship around the globe. Supplies are limited for a single turn. After 3/4 a democratic vote of the passengers demands to reverse course since a majority claims earth is a disk and the ship is about to fall off the fringe soon. What do you do?

ColorStorm:
That would really piss me off. If I read you correctly, it implies we'd be destined to die on the way back due to running out of supplies. I wouldn't want to die because of their stupidity. First, I'd try my damnedest, using everything I know and speaking as eloquently as I could, to convince them that the world is round. If that doesn't work, maybe I'd kill all the flat-earthers if I could. Or gather up all the round-earthers and convince them to help me kill the the flat-earthers or maybe imprison them.

Kate:
Is a human a machine destined to be filled with supplies that are turned into energy gas and poo?

ColorStorm:
As long as we're humans, yes. If we evolve or self-manipulate into something that doesn't defecate, we won't be human anymore. We'll be some other animal or cyborgs. About gas, though, I have a feeling that if we had an ideal diet we'd never have gas. Also, I'm wary of calling humans machines. It's degrading to the beauty, complexity, naturality, and holism of the human form. Machines are artifices created by humans that are extremely crude, simple, modular, and non-self-healing in comparison and not to mention aren't imbued with mind, heart or spirit.

Kate:
Then how come such things like mind, heart or spirit never appear in the population statistics or as goals for public spending in state budgets?

ColorStorm:
mind, heart and spirit arise everywhere. in state budgets it arises in compassion for our fellow human and in the fact that there's anything in others to be

ColorStorm:
compassionate about. we don't directly measure mind, heart, and spirit is statistics because they're not physical so they're not easy to measure, but

ColorStorm:
physical consequences of those things probably crop up in every conceivable dimension of measurement.

ColorStorm:
also as for mind it probably is present in statistics, i.e. various psychological metrics..

Kate:
When you are a nag, bully, verbal molester and a troll, do websites do the right blocking you, or do they ruin freedom and the freedom of speech?

ColorStorm:
Well, if they didn't have the right to block you, wouldn't that ruin *their* freedom to manage their own platform? Either way someone's freedom has to be violated. Legally, of course, the right falls in the company's hands. Is that best? I don't know, people can be unfairly banned, websites often employ algorithms to ban or suspend users which I think is lazy and bad, and arguably social media should be a public utility, because everyone uses it and it's pretty much essential nowadays, so maybe websites' ability to ban users or otherwise censor content should be eliminated or at least regulated by the government. Also, theoretically, it shouldn't be necessary to block users when the site has a feature to allow individuals to block other individuals. Maybe notwithstanding illegal activity on the site. Sean had a good point too.

Spudella:
Is your mind a cesspool, a battlefield, a hostage den, a haven, a hell? Who are your minds invited guests and who are your invaders? Is it overcrowded, empty, turbulent, calm? 🤔

ColorStorm:
Invaders: embarrassing memory, worries about people dying, social fears. Invited guests: compliments, encouragement that I'm doing the right thing or that I'm OK, feeling that somebody else is just as much of an awkward freak as I am and still manages to make it in the world somehow (usually only happens in my dreams). As for the first question, I'd say my mind is a battlefield definitely. To the last, it's both overcrowded (in terms of fears, stored thoughts, random memories, etc.) and empty (in terms of my immediate consciousness.) It's also both turbulent and calm, more calm I guess (usually).

Spudella:
Cool answer, thanks. I can relate to the invaders lol.

I'm sometimes attracted to people who aren't that pretty by normal standards but who seem cute to me for some reason, but I can't think of any *crushes* per se, unless you count Yuki Messerschmitt in high school. She was hot and had a cute face, except half of it was all totally grody with some skin issue. I didn't really care about that because skin problems have never really been much of a turn-off for me.

Are you more likely to buy a product (say, shampoo or any other body care product), if it is labeled as cruelty-free?

ColorStorm:
I never think to look, tbh. My mom carefully reads and compares everything the container says for eggs, milk, etc. and also researches online what the limits are for the product to legally call themselves whatever. And I'm glad she does. I think for all these people saying the label doesn't mean anything, it's just an excuse not to inconvenience themselves by limiting what products they buy. Sure, you can have a label and still exercise cruelty in other ways, but a company with a cruelty-free label probably does less cruel things than one without such a label. And looking for those labels is the best/only thing we can do (well, short of online research).

What is your relationship with religion and/or spirituality like? How has it changed throughout your life?

ColorStorm:
When I was young I was religious (Christian--either Baptist or non-denominational) because I was raised by Christian schools. According to my aunt I was religious in such a hardcore way that it was scary. When I was somewhere around 17 I started to seriously question some of the basic tenets of Christianity because they didn't seem reasonable to me, and that led to my apostatizing, though it took a year or two for me to fully apostatize due to the fear of eternal damnation. I spent a while (not sure how long) wondering what was true (I even seriously considered physicalism), and eventually I came to believe basically in spirituality and mysticism (and science too, of course, but not the unfounded and constrictive aspects of the overarching scientistic worldview). I'd done a *lot* of reading over the years trying to discover the truth (a lot of it, unfortunately, on the internet). My spiritual beliefs evolved slowly over time and are still evolving. To be honest, I used to believe a lot of what I read because I humbly assumed the authors I'd read had some kind of mystical source of understanding of things that I didn't, but eventually I read so much arbitrary stuff by arbitrary authors that everything I'd read started contradicting everything else. That was when I knew I'd been doing something wrong. That led to me developing a better perspective and a strong intuitive sense of what's true/probably true and what's obvious bullshit. For a long time I kept hundreds of possibilities in my head regarding what may or may not be true along with their associated probabilities, because I've always refused to just assume something without really knowing, and there are many, many questions about reality/nature that science/empiricism with its accompanying certainty is ill-equipped to address. I still do that--keep many possibilities/probabilities in my head until I'm able to come to solid enough conclusions about them--to a certain degree. Relying on empirical proof for all one's beliefs is practically assuming that the ascertaining of truth can be done algorithmically and without any real intellectual effort or the need for intuitive or heart-based input.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, I was going to mention that now I hate Christianity (and would the other Abrahamic religions if I were exposed to them) because it's so fzcking

ColorStorm:
stupid/irrational and toxic.

ColorStorm:
I think religions in general are just brainwashing meme complexes, but some religions are better than others / not too bad (e.g. Buddhism)

Qafka:
If you take a single grain from a heap of sand, is it still a heap?

ColorStorm:
There's no one grain of sand that will make the difference between a heap of sand and a non-heap. For one thing, the perception of a pile of sand being a "heap" is probably a bit "sticky", meaning that if you slowly take away one grain after another, the person judging will probably think it's still a heap until way after he would have if he were just shown one static pile of sand. Eventually, though, he'll come to his senses and realize that it's not even close to being a "heap". For another thing, the point at which it stops being a heap is stochastic. Not only does it depend on the individual, but also on when you show him / exactly what his mindstate is when you show him, exactly what the environment's state is in, exactly what shape the pile of sand is in, etc., and even then if you could show the same person the same heap at the same time, etc. multiple times, there are probably crucial ranges of circumstances, heap shape and size, etc. for which some of the times he'd say it's a heap and some of the times he'd say it's not. So all you really have is curves of probability and statistics showing how likely the pile is to be a heap at any given configuration. Last I checked the answers to this paradox on Wikipedia, that wasn't one of the answers, which surprises me. All the answers are more simplistic and naive. I guess I should be a famous enough philosopher for my answer to show up on Wikipedia. =P

The human body is such a mystery to us, there is far more we don't know about it than we think we do. Would you agree on that or not really?

ColorStorm:
I think this is the case. And I think what's unknown isn't limited to facts about the physical, mechanical workings of the system. I think its workings fundamentally tie into aspects of nature that aren't accounted for by our physical theories (like life itself, cosmic intelligence, will, morphic resonance, the astral, etheric, and other levels of our beings, who knows what..). There's always a lot more to the story--the reality is always way more incredible--than what's captured in our models. I think this difference between the known and the unknown is especially evidenced in biological, living beings.

I'm not sure, there were probably more intense moments, but the first thing that comes to mind is training to be a USPS (United States Post Office) carrier and the instructor took me to a four-way stop where each street was at least 4 lanes (2 lanes in each direction), so people had to coordinate the timing so that people would go in pairs.. I'm bad at 4-way stops already and I'm terrified of driving and I had no idea WTF I was doing. I just went for it and hoped I didn't do something catastrophically wrong and the instructor said, "that's how you do it."

I also had about 40 NES games and I don't remember how I got them. My cousin borrowed them one day and that was the last I saw them. =P

Is mathematics a science or an art?

ColorStorm:
If mathematics is an art than every discipline is an art, imo. I mean I'm sure there's some art to it but it's definitely a science, if I have to pick between science and art. I actually don't see it as either, though. It's not so much about hypothesizing and experimenting, there's no empirical evidence involved, and a rule can actually be proven absolutely/universally correct, unlike with science. It seems to be more an application of pure logic.

Have you ever felt guilt for something someone else has actually done? Where they leave you to feel the emotion as your own. And you do cos of your attachment and love for them. Or just cos you are blind to their abandonment of your needs.

ColorStorm:
No, but that's interesting. I like that. I've explored the idea of feeling regret for something someone else has done. I like the love and unity behind it. Though guilt is never good. It just makes you "whither and die," in the words of NDW. *Regret* is the feeling that tells you not to do a thing again.

Spudella:
What if there is no regret. But others have made thr act a sin so there must be atonement wout

Spudella:
... Atonement with guilt

ColorStorm:
i wouldn't let them define whether i feel guilt over something or not

Usually card, because if I use cash then I have to replace the cash all the time. If it weren't for that fact I would prefer to use cash because it's simpler. I guess I always have a small amount of anxiety about doing my card right, not making people behind me wait, etc. If I'm buying something cheap and the only cash I have is a $20 then I'll use cash so that I can have some change for when the homeless people ask me.

With good I don't mean heaven and ecstacy and orgasm great all the time. I mean at least O.K.. Just an idea better than avg. is enough to count as good.

it was 0.5%, not 5%. maybe i can, but i'm not sure what you mean. i mean you're saying that good is O.K. but that it's better than average. i thought average

Spudella:
Have you an intuitive ability to predict future events? I don't believe mine is 'psychic' just keen analysis and Intuition. Wish someone would pay me for it lol

ColorStorm:
I can predict how people will react to things. And I remember many years ago I'd be in a philosophy 'chat room' and could predict like 12 steps ahead where the conversation would ultimately lead and I'd make statements that are relevant to that future point and I'd be ignored, then 10 minutes later they'd be arguing on that very subject.. Other than those things I don't know if I have any unusual ability to predict the future. Though one time when I was in 5th grade I dreamed that my crush stood in front of the class facing the class and extended her arms to the right and left and then turned her head looking at her right and left hands back and forth alternately. Then the next morning she did exactly that.

Spudella:
Most of what I predict is political and social stuff and peoples likely behaviours. I've had weird hunches about accidents and stuff but those

Spudella:
... Are probably coincidental

Spudella:
Dream stuff is weird. I've seen people in my dreams I've met later on.

Spudella:
Again it's probably meeting them that activates the memory and ascribes meaning to it

ColorStorm:
it's hard to reconcile things like this with the idea that consciousness is merely emergent form neural activity

Spudella:
Lol sorry but lm still sticking to that lol. I agree in the world outside of us but it's a world made of real particles. Our sensory organs do the interpreting

Those forces outside of us may not be fully understood. But that's nothing to so with our consciousness

If you eliminate the impossible, is what's left the truth? Or can we allow for the possibility that the impossible may also hold the truth?

ColorStorm:
If it's *truly* impossible, then what's left must be the truth, though there's probably not just *one* thing left like one's imagination might suggest. Sometimes it's hard to imagine all the possibilities. Also, it's easy to mistake the possible for the impossible. "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." - Arthur Conan Doyle I'm not a huge fan of the quote because I find it misleading. What's truly unreasonable to consider doesn't need to be methodically enumerated and discounted one by one; it should be simply intuitive and immediate to acknowledge what's actually impossible. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-analyzing and ruling out things that aren't really impossible, or of thinking there's only one solution left when there's not. "Or can we allow for the possibility that the impossible may also hold the truth?" I think it would be a logical contradiction to say that what's impossible may also hold the truth. What does it mean for something to be impossible in this context? I can't think of a coherent meaning other than that it's impossible for that thing to be true.. people often play with words and say that the impossible is actually possible, but that's actually logically incorrect.

Spudella:
Did you know that what we consider the present moment actually happened half a second ago?

ColorStorm:
I hear that now and then but it seems impossible that something i see happen in front of my face immediately could actually have happened half a second ago. We could test the hypothesis by measuring reaction time to something happening and seeing if teh round trip takes less than half a second or not, but even that's not very reliable because if it *does* take more than a half a second we don't know how much of that to attribute to the time it takes to react after having become aware of something. Another way to test it might be to give someone some stimulus while measuring their brain activity..

Do you welcome death? / Heißt du den Tod willkommen?

ColorStorm:
Yes, but only because I believe that in all probability there's an afterlife and that it's much better than this place. If I believed death was the end, then I'd rather continue to struggle than not exist.. maybe if my life were bad enough I'd rather not exist, I dunno. Even if death is the end, it's not completely the same as not existing though because of the unity in everything. You can see yourself in others, and others in you. That's because really are united with all life there is. So even if there's no afterlife, when you die you'd continue to exist in a remote sense, as everyone.

What do you think of Taylor Swift?

ColorStorm:
She's not that pretty, it's just hard to tell with all the makeup she wears and her hairdo and the glamour shots, etc. I like one or two of her songs a lot (You Belong with Me and Love Story), but I'm not sure how solid her personality is. Maybe I'm just biased because I watched the Family Guy episode where she dated Chris, and also saw someone comment not that long ago that she just wants to be famous and have nothing but good things said about her and can't handle it when people don't like her (now that I say it it sounds perfectly fair though ;p). Also I was at the theater once and I saw some Taylor Swift promotion where you do something Taylor Swift-related (I forget what) and get a free large Coke (their large Cokes are 1.5 liters), and I just felt like she'll do anything to further her empire and doesn't care at all about encouraging healthy consumption. But I'm sure she's no different from most celebrities in that sense, I was probably just extra sensitive that day.

Does one have permission to dislike someone anymore because of their values or attitudes or must we all be 'nice' and accepting for fear of being called intolerant or 'toxic'? 😂 I genuinely dislike people and like others. Human right ne cest pas?

ColorStorm:
IMO the ideal is to like or at least tolerate everyone, but we're not perfect and we can't force liking someone. But we shouldn't and don't have to attack those we dislike. Just avoid them if you can, especially/at least if they're toxic, and if you can't then try to get through to them by other means. (Anger is okay, but anger doesn't have to be spite.) A lot of our dislike of other people comes down to unresolved personal issues, IMO.

I don't think I really feel jealous of people. I can't think of anyone or anything I'm jealous of, actually. Envy, I guess I have. But only in small/fleeting amounts. I try to be at one with my losership. I'm kind of envious of Ashton Kutcher at times, for example, because of his success, his unafflicted personality, his good looks, and the fact that he's married to Mila Kunis, who's been one of my biggest crushes for like 25 years. And I guess I feel connected to him since we were both born on the same day/year.

Or maybe *some* things we judge because it exists in ourselves and others we just judge because we fear it'll cause pain or some other reason, I dunno.

No, but I am afraid of nuclear weapons. Actually, maybe we should all be afraid of nuclear power plants in Japan, they've had two catastrophes, and according to some sources Fukushima elevated radioactivity to unsafe levels all around the planet.

ColorStorm:
Or at least where some ocean current goes, all the way to the western hemisphere. I dunno, sources seem to contradict each other on this.

ColorStorm:
It's true that fossil fuels may be even worse than nuclear power even taking into account meltdowns and disposal, but that doesn't necessarily make nuclear

ColorStorm:
power plants *good*, they can both be bad or scary

LaDamaX:
How and why did you pick your Retro screen name?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure which is my screen name, "Inhahe" or "ColorStorm" (they're both names I have on here). Here's my answer for Inhahe from Kiwi: Back in about 1993-1994 I would spend all day after school on a free multi-line BBS to chat with people.. but to use it for free you weren't allowed to have an account, so you had to enter any username you wanted every time you logged on, and if the lines were full it would drop you off every five minutes. So I'd constantly be calling back and coming up with a new, random screen name just to express myself/show off my creativity. Well, actually I'd had a few that I often used. One day I got tired of using all the ones I'd used before so to pick an entirely new one I just pulled three random syllables out of the air: in, ha, and he, then put them together into a handle. I kinda liked it, it really seemed to fit me so it stuck. To me the energy is kind of like that of a happy dog. BTW, it's pronounced in-hah-hee, not in-hah-hey as so many people think. And here's the answer for ColorStorm. Back in 1999 I had been talking to this (pretty) girl a lot on the phone, and one night I started to believe she might actually want to be my girlfriend.. I'd finally have a girlfriend. I couldn't stop thinking about it and then the emotions/thoughts got so intense that I started thrashing around in bed.. then I felt my third eye \*pop\* and at the same time, even though my stereo was off, I heard my speakers make a loud "PPPPPPPPPP" sound. Then I started getting powerful *visions* and one of them was a huge angel, like two-thirds the size of the Earth (not shaped like mankind's archetype for the angel), and it was made up of thousands of differently-colored points of light.. I effortlessly came up with a name for this entity, "ColorStorm" and since then I've used it in a few different places, though I still usually use "inhahe". I think I used ColorStorm on the first \*spring site because I didn't want my family looking up "inhahe" on the internet (everyone I know knows that I'm Inhahe) and seeing some of my answers on Spring. Though I also remember signing up using my Facebook account and it automatically gave me the name "ColorStorm" followed by about 5 digits and then on later \*spring sites I just used ColorStorm so that people would recognize me, so I dunno. The reason my Facebook username is ColorStorm and not inhahe is that somebody had already taken "inhahe" on facebook. IIRC it was somebody I knew but I'm not sure which person. Btw, after the visions I became psychotic for a few weeks and had many very interesting, intense, spiritual and psychic experiences during that time. I also ended up in the mental hospital for the first time, and I've been there three other times since.. if I don't take medicine for a few months/years I eventually become psychotic, ever since that first time in 1999.

LaDamaX:
Woah... you’ve confirmed what I kind of thought about the name “Colorstorm”. I had a feeling it had something to do a psychedelic experience or some sort of

LaDamaX:
“Other” worldly experience. Quite the story.

I wouldn't bother to design one unless it could do something others couldn't, like go really fast, and rod is probably the most efficient shape for going really fast since there's less surface for space particles to hit.

Just saw a video of a piece of shit that ate from a plate full of alive baby mouses (mice). He was just smiling and gave a thumbs up while he was chewing. Some of us humans are digusting beyond repair.

ColorStorm:
I don't understand how a person can be that insensitive to the pain of living beings, but I try not to think of people as pieces of shit. We're all brothers under God's creation. He just has a different mindset, one that admittedly unfortunately causes pain. But at the same time, I have to admit it makes me happy to see that not everyone is like that. It's satisfying to see people who have the heart to think that people like him are a piece of shit, even if ideally nobody thought that about anybody.

Can I imagine it? Yes. Would I do it? No. The whole pronouns phenomenon just reflects that people have become waaaay too touchy (and denialist) about gender. I did put it in my Twitter bio once, but only because I thought some people might be assuming I'm a girl because of my handle. I then changed it from my pronouns to just "Male.", but later I decided that was tacky and removed it.

ColorStorm:
No, that would be the kind of alarming censorship he mentions in his post. And, for all I know, he could be right. Even if he's not, it's ridiculous that arguing about how many people were or were not killed in a historical event would be a punishable offense. It's like everyone's under some strange spell, as I mentioned in my answer to the question, https://retrospring.net/ColorStorm/a/181895

Wieselmann:
It's actually really important to remember the holocaust as it shows what facism/national socialism can lead to

Wieselmann:
Do you really believe all the reports of witnesses could be fake?

Wieselmann:
Also the crucial point is that industrial mass murder took place. The 6 million are an estimation as far as i know

ColorStorm:
Maybe it undeniably happened, maybe it's important to remember, but that doesn't mean that having a different opinion on that should be punishable.

Wieselmann:
I guess the intention could matter. If someone lies about it to downplay what the nazis did in order to make national socialism seem more acceptable

Wieselmann:
he should be punished. Asouza however is probably just really misguided

ColorStorm:
Do people actually lie about it to make Naziism seem more acceptable? I haven't seen that. Maybe people just falsely assume that's the intention when

ColorStorm:
someone's a holocaust denier. That would be a really indirect and weak way of supporting Naziism.

ColorStorm:
And I disagree that it should be punishable, because it's too indirect.. I think punishing it would be very authoritarian.

I've been a little bit overweight for a lot of years now. One year I stepped on an electronic scale (for the first and only time in many years) and I was exactly 200.0 pounds. That's the heaviest I've ever been that I know of. All the extra weight was in my belly, and I'm a pretty small-framed guy. My belly stuck out so far I looked ridiculous. I think it was all the soda and sweet tea I was drinking. I used to be really thin. Up to 18 or 20 years or older I was 120 pounds. Now I probably weigh 184 or less.

What do you consider to be the key to happiness? :)

ColorStorm:
1. Have good, loving, non-abusive parents 2. Don't stand out in any particular way so much that your peers pick on you in your developmental years 3. Don't be born in a terrible, fascist or whatever country 4. Don't come from too poor a family 5. Don't be too intelligent 6. Eat healthily and exercise 7. Be loving, accepting, generous and gracious As you might be able to tell from my list, I believe that for the most part whether we're happy or not in this world is up to the luck of the draw, despite what a lot of (probably unhappy) dispensers of inspirational quotes will tell you. I think that, for the most part, it's not that some people are more wise than others. We're all one consciousness anyway. We all use our universal wisdom to do the best with the cards we're dealt, it's just that a lot of those cards are invisible or at least unobvious to outside observers.

ColorStorm:
I guess there are different levels of wisdom though. Maybe one's universal wisdom is unable to realize good local wisdom because of the cards one's dealt.

ColorStorm:
But fortunately we can be reminded of wisdom by life, especially through others, but it's not as easy, simple or generic as the purveyors of wisdom would like

it to be.

How do you avoid that your valueable items get stolen at the beach when you go into the water?

ColorStorm:
By not going to the beach. :) TBH though that's not one of the reasons I don't go to the beach. When I do go, I don't go into the water. I think I have in the past but probably only when I was a kid so I didn't have any valuables there. =P

why dont you go into the water anymore?

I don't like the beach. And I rarely go into water whether it's pools or otherwise. It's just not worth the hassle of getting wet. And at the beach, the bottom

What comes to your mind when you read this? https://www.concordia.ca/news/stories/2019/09/20/3-concordia-researchers-collaborate-to-engage-indigenous-knowledges-in-the-study-of-physics.html

ColorStorm:
- It's bold of them to do this because you know that, for some reason or another, somebody's going to cry racist, or cultural appropriation, or something along those lines. - Indigenous representation in STEM *could* be low because of lower intelligence (on average) and/or because of incompatible paradigms of reasoning, in which case it's probably inappropriate to try to interfere and get more indigenous people involved. - Maybe I missed it, but the article doesn't seem to say where the indigenous people are indigenous to, as if all "indigenous" people are the same.. - A lot of rationalists would probably think it's ridiculous to try to bring in what they would consider outdated and mythical understandings of the universe into physics, but I think that if they do it right, and depending on what the worldview of those indigenous people *is*, it could provide fresh no perspectives on the nature of light, etc. Eh, it probably won't, because even if their understanding of light or whatever is valid it's probably not compatible with a purely analytic and mathematical framework of thought..

nachopee:
Yikes, no, bullet #2 ain't it. Look up some of the systemic barriers for indigenous kids in STEM. Then also look into how common metrics for intelligence (e.g.,

ColorStorm:
Scientists rigorously and systematically (and with a good system) study their subjects, check each other, know more than I do, work off decades of research and good ideas, etc. On the other hand, they're only human, there's a lot of corruption, they tend to be biased toward physicalism and scientism, etc. I guess I trust them more on some things than others and it depends on how the particular article says they arrived at their results, but overall I guess I'd say..

ColorStorm:
mom suggested i do it. i didn't even think i would hit it. i got it and he bit his own tail and his lover came to comfort him as he died

ColorStorm:
once i bounced a water balloon off of a frog on the ground a few times and then attempted to skip him into the lake, because i was insane.

Templar:
I'm sure you were a kid at the time.. I don't think it was something to feel guilty about..maybe you mom should thought . lol

ColorStorm:
and once i killed a kitten accidentally, i jumped onto my chair which was on the floor with no legs and there was a kitten under it. he was flattened. =(

e all done stuff like that as kids

i said "NOOOOOO!" and then i pet him as he took his last few breaths.

The accident is forgivable

you had remorse, so I forgive you anyway

ColorStorm:
I don't believe in guilt categorically, but it's a hard thing to control. Or maybe it's just regret, I dunno.

Templar:
it's good that your are conscientious and it 's definitely merits forgiveness

ColorStorm:
imo, everything merits forgiveness

Templar:
I don't think so..remorese merits forgive ness maybe , but for those who aren't sorry

ColorStorm:
God forgives all (or more accurately, He never judges in the first place; everyone is innocent in God's eyes), humans aren't advanced enough for that.

Templar:
O'd like to believe that , but I think we gett what we deserve in th eend, God or no God..really

ColorStorm:
imo, insofar as 'deserves' even makes any sense, everyone deserves whatever's best for them and everyone involved. to think anything else is just

ColorStorm:
bitterness/hatred/vengeance/schadenfreude.

Templar:
I guesss there is good and evil and evil deeds will not be forgiven by the conscious Universe

ColorStorm:
evil is due to ignorance/unawareness/lack of light

Templar:
true , but it causes pain to others ..sometimes on purpose. Thats a real thing

Templar:
It's registered on the universal consciousness as evil and her is retribution of some sort eventually

ColorStorm:
according to Conversations with God, everything you cause another to experience, you will one day experience. So I guess, if that's true, the universe is fair

ColorStorm:
in that sense. but I'd argue that they experience that not because God has vengeance but because it's actually the best thing for them, for them to learn.

Templar:
I'm a firm believr in a consciousness that in some records our deeds for want of a bette word

Templar:
I'm not sure of an equal retribution.. But rather an absense of harmony in the next existence. i believe in a universal consciousness of negative ness

Templar:
and equally a massive conveyance of Positive sonsciousness in the next existence

Aren't they generally disliked? Only being able to get people to do things for them if they pay money.

I work on super yachts. We understand that the rich and famous can get away with ordering drugs, hookers and whatever else they want to their yachts.

ColorStorm:
Rules and laws do not apply to the rich and famous. Oh,....... And yacht owners are rich and rarely famous. The really rich don't want to be known.

How should a state like the USA handle gun control in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
No guns for anyone, not even police. Fuck the people who would go ape shit if we took their guns away. If they revolt / start a civil war, call in the national guard to shoot them all down. Clean out the gene pool a little.

Wasserpistole:
But will true criminals not have weapons? I guess they will find ways, and then even the police is doomed?

Wasserpistole:
What do you mean with "go ape shit"? Rape and murder on the streets? If so, I agree with you. National guard should shoot them down.

ColorStorm:
I dunno, it seems to work out in other countries, like England. I think in a country where all guns are outlawed getting one on the black market would be

ColorStorm:
extremely expensive

ColorStorm:
also you could make the penalty for owning one extreme enough that it's not worth the risk of getting caught

ColorStorm:
by ape shit i mean that they would consider it so unacceptable that they would start an uprising against the government, shooting people

ColorStorm:
not sure if on the streets, i mean, they'd probably select police or politicians

Wasserpistole:
And weapons for self protection, maybe even from the government? Much more needs to change than just a no weapon policy.

Certain food additives that are banned in dozens of other countries. Pharmaceutical advertizing on TV (this is illegal in the UK, for one). Factory farming. Puppy mills. Guns.

(in no particular order)

Factory farming is a necessary evil, they just need to adopt the verticle farm model and have them closer to large industrial hubs with lots of people to reduce

ZouBisouBisou:
Transportation costs and waste. Agree with everything you've laid out especially lobbying.

Isn't the world such a precarious place? I think it's funny the emphasis on reducing peoples anxiety as if fear is abnormal in a world where creative and destructive forces in nature and in ourselves attempt to balance themselves constantly.

ColorStorm:
I think constant anxiety isn't natural for the human being and only exists in the context of modern society which is so complicated and where you have so many obligations beyond directly supporting yourself by, say, hunting and gathering.. Sure, prehistoric man faced a lot of danger in the wild, but I don't think he was constantly anxious. Being constantly anxious isn't healthy for the body. Is it necessary in today's world for some people? I don't know. Maybe there are legit ways to mitigate it.

Do you usually always order the same stuff at a nice restaurant?

ColorStorm:
I don't go to nice restaurants very often, when I do I probably just find the intersection of {things I like} and {what's on the menu} and pick something out of that. There are some restaurants I go to where I always order the same thing and some where there are a few different things I'm likely to pick between.

Name 2 or 3 celebrities that are allowed to kiss you on the mouth without asking, if there are any? (Saw one of them kiss a girl and she adored it, that is why I would like to know.)

ColorStorm:
Miranda Cosgrove, Analeigh Tipton, and Aubrey Plaza. There are more, but you said 2 or 3. =) Who did you see kiss a girl without asking? Did you see it in person or in a video? Can you describe exactly what happened if you saw it in person or send me a link if you saw it in a video? thx

Sir, I have the video for you. Check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID7xQPq9uqI That guy had power over people, it is insane.

Do you believe in Reganomics, i.e Trickle down economics? (Basically the idea is if the rich stay rich then the money will trickle down to the poor folks)

Reaganomics* "The trickle-down theory: the principle that the poor, who must subsist on table scraps dropped by the rich, can be best served by giving the rich bigger meals." -William Blum There's way too much wealth disparity in the world, and Reaganomics could only make it worse.

When you feel as if plugged into a wall outlet when a person is near you and instantly you feel unplugged as soon as they are gone. Is such a person the incarnation of electricity or something else? What is wrong?

ColorStorm:
Maybe that's just how they feel, they're so high-strung, and you're empathic. Or it could be that their energy has an effect on you that makes *you* high-strung, for example if they're your boss and they're ready to pounce on you for something you did/didn't do at any moment.

Templar:
Does the physical world only exist in our mind?

ColorStorm:
That's a complicated question. First, even if there is an objective world "out there," it necessarily doesn't exist anything like how we perceive of it with our arbitrary organic, macroscopic senses, nor how we think of it with our human, simplifying and modularizing abstractions. Anything we can know of, such as the world, is necessarily ideological insofar as we know of it, and presumably the world "out there" isn't ideological. And, since any two things we can possibly compare and contrast with each other (in our minds, of course) must necessarily both be ideological, there's therefore no greater schism than between the ideological, such as our knowledge of the world, and the ideological, such as the world-in-itself. So, even if the world exists "out there," it may not exist in the way that we understand as being "physical," therefore in that sense the physical world may only exist in our minds. Also, it's possible that things don't exist when we're not witnessing them. There's no way to prove otherwise. Perhaps the whole universe is in a superposition of all possible states until we "collapse the wavefunction" with our observations. What exactly constitutes a "measurement" or observation that can collapse the probability wavefunction is ill-defined in physics, and there's debatably an infinite regress problem where, whatever interference happens within a system to collapse the wavefunction, the entire system from the outside could still be an uncollapsed wavefunction, and if something from the outside collapses it by interfering with it, then the entire system including that interference from outside could still be uncollapsed from an even more-outside view, etc., so it makes sense that the buck could ultimately stop at consciousness observing it, perhaps one universal consciousness. Another possible worldview is idealism, which holds that everything is ultimately mind. In that case, what is the physical? Maybe it's no more than a mental model we make based on the qualia we experience for whatever reason which is necessarily generated by mind, be it internally or externally. Or, maybe seeing the physical is actually just a mode of perception of life/spirit/mind, maybe some particular spirit/mind, afforded by our physical bodies. Of course, that raises the question of how we can have physical bodies if nothing is physical. The answer would be that we have bodies made of mind and/or spirit, or perhaps of the relationship between our minds/spirits and some other entity's, like a soul that comprises the physical universe, and from the perspective of these vessels, our own vessels appear physical just as the rest of the world does.

It's a little awkward, but not too bad I guess. I wouldn't use "bosom" though (what Korstybai said). Unlike most of the answerers here I don't prefer the slang/vulgar alternatives, I don't like to be crude/crass.

LaDamaX:
Have you ever had an out of the ordinary, unexplainable or something that you might consider paranormal experience?

ColorStorm:
One time in 5th grade I had a dream that the girl I liked stood in front of the class facing us, then spread her arms out to the right and left, then looked at her right and hands alternately a few times. The next morning she did that.

Wasserpistole:
And there was no reason for her to do that, she just did it out of the blue?

ColorStorm:
I don't remember a reason, but this was way too long ago, I only remember remembering it now. But i can't imagine any reason for doing that.. also even if there

ColorStorm:
was a reason it's still just as coincidental unless the reason were somehow connected to my dream

ColorStorm:
And i think it was out of the blue in my dream too and i didnt tell anybody it.

Wasserpistole:
I dreamed about a fight my brother had with his girlfriend. She was so hurt, that she couldn't barely breath. Brother wasn't mean to her or anything, he just

Wasserpistole:
said things about leaving the relationship or something like that. I woke up, the phone rang and it was my brother telling my that his girlfriend needed help,

Wasserpistole:
she could barely breathe, they had an argument and he needed my help.

Wasserpistole:
Also interesting to consider, that I only met his girlfriend one time in the past and also never had much to do with their relationship and yet, this dream was

Wasserpistole:
given to me. There are other dimensions where things happened earlier and in my dream, I was in that zone. That could be an answer.

LaDamaX:
Was the girlfriend ok? Did she have a panic attack?

Wasserpistole:
She was okay after a short while. No extra help was needed. I said something to her on the phone to calm her and my brother was with her, that was it.

Wieselmann:
Who is the smartest person that you know? What makes you think he/she is so smart?

ColorStorm:
My friend Anthony is pretty smart. He's very knowledgeable about the subjects he studies/retains facts well, has a strong analytical mind, is very insightful, and is right about most if not all important subjects. He has a mind for both impeccable logic and the nuances of mysticism/spirituality that are beyond the capability of most people to comprehend. This is extremely rare. Most analytical types outright reject all things non-material, and most people who embrace the mystical have their brains falling out all the time. But I think smarter than him is Darin Stevensen (not his real last name). He not only is very knowledgeable and extraordinarily good with words, but he has wickedly keen insight into many areas of the nature of the world, people, living beings, metaphysics, the cognitive predicaments humanity is in and how we got that way, to a degree that I've never seen in anyone else. I mean stuff that if people actually understood, could change everything. I've had shivers reading some of the stuff he wrote and recognizing the truth in it, and then lo and behold in the text I was reading he started talking about people having shivers from being exposed to certain truths.. I think this was in a part of his website that he claimed would actually be a constantly changing text that's in a psychic feedback loop between the text and its readers, called "Skyhook". He calls himself a "mini-messiah", and I think that if enough people actually listened to what he has to say he'd be right. I really wish he'd right a book to gain himself some popularity (and he'd be good at it; he started to once but abandoned it, and I read what he had so far), but he says the being who basically taught him everything (aside from what he's studied) and awakened his mind instructed him not to charge anything for his teachings. His website is http://organelle.org.

ColorStorm:
I know this example will sound horrible/unwise, but here it is. I've had girlfriends without having the capacity to love. I never told any of them that I couldn't love them because I couldn't feel emotions. For two of them perhaps I should have and was just too much of a wuss, but for one of them our whole relationship was basically fine and I would have broken her heart to tell her, and even though I had a hard time feeling emotions and love I wanted to keep her as a girlfriend. We eventually separated for other reasons, and I like the way it worked out. I'm glad I never told her. =P

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's good if large particle accelerators are build for billions of dollars in order to probably advance our understanding of physics or is it a waste of tax money?

ColorStorm:
It's a waste of tax money. It'll be a long long time until any new technology comes out of that understanding, and even if it did, our technical understanding and technology are way ahead of our wisdom in applying it (or not applying it). And, I think, since the knowledge is purely technical and mechanical and doesn't relate to anything in normal life, it means nothing to us in any way that's truly fulfilling or enriching. If we truly understood its significance and its place in the cosmos, then maybe it would, but, on a certain level, we really have no idea what we're looking at.

ColorStorm:
It's absurd to be doing this when people are homeless and starving. Same for space exploration.

Wieselmann:
I didn't expect someone who is interested in physics would say that

ColorStorm:
well, it's the philosophical side of me speaking i guess. and since it's an economic issue it involves more than just my interest in physics.

also i guess i'm not extremely interested in particle physics per se because i don't understand it. why does matter arrange itself in the way that it does and

not some other way?

It just shows how much hate and judgment there is going around currently that a person says, hey, let's all be friends, and there's a huge public backlash making her out to be a demon. That being said, I heard she's really rotten to her staff so I'm not sure I like her as a person.

Qafka:
Which degree of kinship represents to you the line between „perfectly acceptable for having a relationship“ and „weird incest vibes“?

ColorStorm:
Pinching each other on the butt is about where it gets kinda incest-y (not that there's anything wrong with that, but, uh). Making out is definitely incest-y. Kissing on the lips between a parent and child looks incesty but a lot of parents actually do that. But making out would definitely be incest-y. One time I saw a young guy and young girl (she was maybe 14 or 15) bang their hips against each other (side by side) when they were walking, like playfully, and that could be a fun, close, healthy relationship but I did wonder if the guy is into her and tries to (or does) do more sexual things with her in private. She was really cute but when I looked her in the eyes her eyes reflected my emptiness.

How serious are copyright laws in your country? Will you be in trouble if you download a movie, audio book or software for free via torrent? Will there be black helicopters to take you away?

ColorStorm:
Our ISP has made us read about and take a test on copyright infringement before we could resume using the internet several times because we were caught uploading some movie or another. (It's because we downloaded stuff via torrent, but the torrent client automatically uploads what you're downloading and that's what you get in trouble for, I think)

Wieselmann:
Is the macroscopic world deterministic or is there an element of probability?

ColorStorm:
IMO it's not deterministic. I hear there are deterministic interpretations of quantum mechanics, but until they can actually predict quantum events, I consider them purely speculative at best. Some people like to assume the universe is deterministic and that what we can't predict, we merely can't predict *yet*. I think this view is baseless. There never was a reason to assume the universe is deterministic. We incorrectly extrapolated that everything must be ultimately deterministic ensuing the discovery of Newtonian mechanics, which was so effective in predicting certain types of systems. The thing is, it's only ever been certain types of systems it's able to predict and control (simple, non-chaotic systems, I'm guessing mostly man-made machines), and even in those types, there's always some room for unpredictable exceptions (for example, failure modes). There never was any valid reason to assume the universe is wholly predictable or even wholly mechanical, and, if it's not, you'd expect to eventually run up against a brick wall in our ability to predict and control it that looks a lot like the probability of quantum mechanics.. That said, I think it's incorrect to assume that the randomosity of quantum mechanics is absolutely, meaninglessly random. It has meaning/rhyme and reason to it; the sources of these events are merely non-mechanistic in nature. Life itself is non-mechanistic. Matter just appears to take on mechanistic qualities when you look at it on an aggregate, statistical level. I think it's hard for us to wrap our heads around non-mechanistic unfoldings of events and easy to assume that a cause must either be mechanistically predetermined or meaninglessly random because of the scientism of our times. We hardly realize how scientistic our cultural world outlook is because it's like the water we swim in. And/or maybe it's because we're genetically wired to model reality in ways that allow us to predict and control it as much as possible.

Is it rude to point out someone's BO or bad breath?

ColorStorm:
I don't think there should be a categorical rule as to whether we should point out someone's BO or bad breath. It could be tricky to point it out without seeming attacking, and it might put the other person in defensive mode or to feel like they've been transgressed upon, but it's up to the person whether they want to take that risk and point it out. After all, it's a useful thing to know if you have bad breath or BO so you could argue that *not* telling them is doing them a disservice.. Of course, whether one "should" point it out depends heavily on the relationship and social dynamics between the two people. In most situations I think I wouldn't point it out myself.

Was it morally justified for the allies to bomb german cities like hamburg and dresden during WW2?

ColorStorm:
Well when you bomb a city you kill innocent people, but maybe sometimes it's necessary to win a war. Does the end justify the means? Seems somewhat like a large-scale, real-world instance of the trolley problem. "The end justifies the means" or "you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet" is a dangerous and often destructive proclamation, but on the other hand letting the Germans win would have been pretty dangerous too. I wonder, is going to war *ever* justified, in all its destruction and horror, or should we be pacifists? I.e. when bad people start wars, should good guys fight back? Or should they just lie down and be taken over? The proposition may sound absurd to today's society, but I'd bet a truly advanced/evolved species would do just that.

ColorStorm:
I don't know history in much detail, so I don't know how necessary it was to bomb those cities to win the war, but

ColorStorm:
either way the funny thing is that the necessity of it / likelihood of not winning the war without having bombed them is

ColorStorm:
on a scale, whereas whether something is 'moral' or 'immoral' is basically understood to be binary

ColorStorm:
it seems like anywhere you draw the line of it being moral vs. how necessary it was or wasn't is arbitrary

ColorStorm:
while whether something is moral or not is generally thought of as being objective truth

What happened to the most evil persons ever and of all time after they died in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
To answer this you must first understand that evil is essentially a subjective judgment and everybody is ultimately innocent. However, those we are likely to perceive as the most evil may have had a lot on their conscience after they died (we're more emotional and I think more connected to life and aware of The Good after we die) and therefore may have put themselves through a terrible time for many years. By the time they were ready to accept love and happiness they may have had a lot of healing to do.

Wasserpistole:
I read: Before these guys torture a little child they study what every individual child fears the most and then they use it to torture that child to death. When

Wasserpistole:
the child is at the high point of fear and terror, they slit the childs throat and drink his or her blood. / If such evil persons exist, they need hell like a

Why did europeans dominate the globe throughout history?

ColorStorm:
Their culture/way of life probably made them the most unhappy which made them seek gain/perceived progress through desperate and brutal measures. Maybe they were the most highly-domesticated race with the most unnatural lifestyle. Or maybe they were the most abstract or creatively-thinking race. Or maybe it's just not true at all that Europeans dominated the globe throughout history like some have said. But maybe the reasons I outlined above apply to any race/group of people that ended up dominating the globe or dominating a large proportion of it.

Should people behave differently with friends than with family? Do you treat people who are close to you better than strangers, or vice versa?

ColorStorm:
Diffeerently? Maybe. Better than? IMO no. I'm not really sure, but it seems to me that we should recognize that strangers have the same value (or the same average amount of value?) as loved ones and stop being so exclusive, because it would be better for the human race if everyone recognized everyone else's immense value. Our own personal circles are not BETTER than everyone else's.. so why treat others with less care? On the other hand, it's only human, and I suppose it doesn't matter even if I'm right, because people will do what they're going to do.

Yeah, my friend who's a psychopath always berates and insults me, and then when I get upset he says it was "just a joke," even though there wasn't a trace of levity or cleverness about it. So I just brush it off when he insults me or is otherwise harsh. Maybe I shouldn't, but if I speak up he'll just criticize me for being so sensitive.

What do you think about Islamophobia?

ColorStorm:
I think it's okay to slam a religion when a religion deserves it. Call a spade a spade. I think you're right (as you kind of said in your response to Daniel's question) that here in the West people are afraid to speak out against Islam because it's not PC. I suppose Islamophobia, like any sort of antagonism, can go too far. I would limit it to maybe critiquing the religion (except for known terrorists, of course, they should be locked up or, if that's not an option, blown up) and also I think it's fair if the people of a given country decide to keep Muslims from immigrating so that they don't end up changing the values of the country, raping their women, etc.

What's your favorite image file format? Why?

ColorStorm:
Probably 16.7-million-color .png, because it's lossless and stored more efficiently than, say, .bmp. With today's bandwidth I think we can afford to download lossless images. Well, at least for important images, I guess things would be a lot slower if *all* images were lossless. There's also an image file format that I think images.google.com uses that renders a sharper and sharper image as it downloads (not sure what format, I know jpeg 2000 does this but last I heard jpeg 2000 never caught on), which is cool in theory, but in practice I just find it frustrating looking at a blurry image waiting for it to clarify... I'd rather it just download the whole thing at once. I have to admit .jpg is nice and efficient and sophisticated and is the most popular image format for a reason, but I don't want to answer with the most common file format as my favorite. =P .gif, of course, has the advantage that it can do animation while still being an image format rather than a video format, but it's a pretty inefficient way of storing animation and it doesn't have sound. Might as well just use a video format.

Alizeh:
If people do bad things while drinking, should we blame the alcohol or the person?

ColorStorm:
A person who's drunk is divorced from his/her higher intellectual faculties and inhibitions. It may be true that what comes out when you're drunk is more or less already in there somewhere, but it's not really a person's "fault" when they're monsters inside--that's just something life does to you, and it's very commendable that the person keeps the monster under wraps when they're in a normal state of mind. You could blame them for taking the alcohol to begin with, knowing that they may become that monster, but on the other hand alcohol can be highly addictive / really hard to resist for some people and it's the only break from the constant emotional pain of their life.. We should always try to have compassion and understanding for everyone, and we should condemn nothing and nobody. It's not clear what "blame" means in this question, but it seems to imply antagonism/hatred/condemnation. And no, being compassionate and understanding doesn't mean being walked on by people, you can still express anger to someone for their actions, you can still take measures to protect yourself from them or separate yourself from them, etc. You don't have to hate someone to do yourself good.

Someone can take a mere opinion as an insult incidentally, but when the opinionator says it with spite and wants to hurt/degrade the person, then it's an insult.

Why do bad things happen to good people??

ColorStorm:
Because there's no overarching force up there making sure that everything that happens is fair according our definition of fair. It's a free-for-all. Just a bunch of stuff that happens. Besides, if bad things couldn't happen to good people then we wouldn't have free will, because something would stop us from committing bad acts upon good people. Also, everyone is ultimately good. There is nobody who 'deserves' to have bad things happen to them just on account of being a 'bad person'.

What is your opinion about Aspirin?

ColorStorm:
I think it's probably safer than most drugs because it's based on a naturally-occurring substance. But that doesn't mean, of course, that you can take it with abandon. It can cause bleeding in the brain, for example. I also don't like how skeptics/decriers of natural remedies point to aspirin as an example for their assumption that if something natural actually works then science takes hold of it and makes it into a medicine (and that therefore most natural remedies must not work). I think that's idealistic. Aspirin is like the *one* example and they all cling to that.

Listening to a kid telling his mom how he will kill anyone who tries to hurt him and smash their skulls in lol. I keel hearing kids say this stuff. Is it healthy fantasy or not?

It's not ideal to have smashing people's skulls in on your mind, but in a brutal world you're going to have things like that in your head anyway, so maybe having it in that particular way is worth the confidence, idk. OTOH it's also a self-lie or naive at best, and I'm not sure believing a falsehood is ever advantageous ultimately.

ColorStorm:
I disagree. It's out of fear *and* justice. Trump is awful and terrible and totally unfit for the presidency, and not just because he's a republican. The level of injustice he causes / the damage he does and may do in the future evokes fear. The world is melting, but people still care madly about far more trivial sh\*t than what Trump is doing wrong or right. And, BTW, the worst thing he's doing is probably speeding up the melting of the earth by enabling billionaires, defunding the EPA, denying climate change, etc.

What are your thoughts on this: https://i.imgur.com/SHPvErO.jpg

ColorStorm:
I can see how it would be frustrating for the artist to put in all that effort and talent and create something beautiful when all the other person has to do is show off her body and get more attention. But life isn't fair, it never has been. And I don't think it's necessarily the fault of the viewers, because they're appreciating beauty/value either way. In the case of person showing off her body, her body is just as beautiful as art, but it happens to be *living* art as well. An actual, full human being instead of something motionless on a 2-D canvas. And it has much more value because of its potential to bring people great joy (if they're lucky enough to have sex or whatever with her). So basically the talented artist just had bad luck not being beautiful instead, at least as far as Facebook likes go, not counting all the other variables that might make the life of a model better or worse than the life of a starving artist.

cybermoon:
are you sorry for people who don't have sex, or is it just survival of the fittest?

ColorStorm:
It's not as simple as survival of the fittest. Modern culture is way too sexually repressed and prude, so many, many people are incels who would be able to have sex in a healthy society. I think it's messed up because sex is a basic need, at least for males. Also, I don't have sex myself, but I don't have much of a libido these days so NBD. But it was a big deal for me when I was growing up.

cybermoon:
"survival of the fittest" as in "i don't feel bad for you if you are not able to fuck because you're not good enough"

cybermoon:
i would like society to be more sexually repressed than this

ColorStorm:
i feel bad for people who can't get sex, except for the ones who have trashy personalities / aren't nice people

okay so it seems you are more in the 2nd category than the 1st? // hating sex, i don't know... hating the display of it, for me it makes sense

AJS:
@ luca: Thanks for re-asking.

AJS:
@ inhahe: Sex isn't a need. I do agree about society being sexually repressed though.

cybermoon:
it's not a need?

ColorStorm:
it's not a need like food and water, but it's a very strong drive, and some people crave it so much and are significantly affected negatively when they don't

Do you laugh when other people suffer misfortune? Is it funny when someone falls over? When is it okay to laugh at another person, and when is it wrong?

ColorStorm:
I think it's despicable to laugh when someone is genuinely hurt. Like, for example, when they're trying to skateboard down a rail and fall flat on their face and lose a tooth or two and bleed a lot. I've even seen instances where people dying was supposed to be funny. But I think there are times when it's okay to laugh at someone's misfortune. (Maybe it's still a little wrong, but not *too* wrong.) Like this video I just laughed at a couple of minutes ago on Twitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Uwo63HbBEw It's a practical joke. Of course, sometimes even practical jokes just go too far and/or just aren't funny.

I recycle everything I can. I go way out of my way to recycle. I also ask for paper bags instead of plastic at the grocery store. We have some permanent bags for use at the grocery store but we always forget to take them in. =P I try not to use too much water. I have a mouse but the cord is way too short to use it easily so I ordered a 5-ft extension cable from eBay instead of just getting a new mouse while I was at the store because I figure an extension cable makes less waste. Anyway eBay says it was delivered on the 25th but I never got it, so I ordered another one. The combined cost was about $16 to $17; I could have easily gotten another mouse for that price. =P and in the meantime I'm still using this hecka inconvenient mouse..

I dunno why the word faithful is used to denote loyalty or fidelity. It should mean full of faith or hopeful. What words annoy u?

ColorStorm:
All the euphemisms for remaining exclusive in a relationship, as if doing otherwise is immoral, annoy me. The words that annoy me most are the words that young people use to say that something is cool/good, like 'lit', I think a new one is 'toxic', and to a lesser degree 'legit.' They more or less all sound stupid and silly to me. You could say that I probably used the latest stupid and silly words when I was young, but I really didn't. The other kids were saying things are "rad" or "radical" and I never used that, I said things are "cool" which is a timeless term.

Yeah toxic annoys me. Like its something scientific.

Your onion on Neil deGrasse Tyson's recent take on mass shootings? https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/1158074774297468928

ColorStorm:
Here's what I tweeted in response: Neil's getting a lot of hate for this, because of our reflexive emotional reaction to terrorism, but he's not wrong. So what if the things he listed aren't murder and aren't caused by a single person? The point is that we could just as easily put our focus on helping to ... / mitigate *any* of those problems on a general level. / A pertinent image: https://twitter.com/iyaelsorai/status/1158301183079006208/photo/1

Here's something not really related to what I said but related to the incident and interesting: https://new.blog.cloudflare.com/terminating-service-for-8chan/

ColorStorm:
Just added another tweet (I just can't let this go apparently): Neil boldly provides a fresh and neutral way to look at tragedies happening on a daily

ColorStorm:
basis objectively, and everyone's mad at him because they'd rather stay in their drama of being triggered by terrorism (spectacle).

ColorStorm:
He (predictably) apologized for his tweet, as is necessary in today's cancel culture:

ColorStorm:
https://www.facebook.com/notes/neil-degrasse-tyson/tweetstorm/10157492889446613/

nachopee:
I don't think it's a matter of people would "rather be triggered"... they are responding to his insensitivity. He posted this not long after two major shootings

nachopee:
One might say that timing is not on his side, honestly, he just sounds like he's being contrarian for the sake of it. It's pompous. He could have highlighted

nachopee:
The statistics about those other misfortunes that happen any other time of the year. But he chose to post it after so many people lost their loved ones.

nachopee:
Let's also not pretend that 99%+ of car accidents happen for the same reasons as a racially motivated shooting, and let's not pretend we can't dedicate

nachopee:
resources to helping to prevent all of those things if you really give a shit. Otherwise you're just dismissing people's emotions, trauma, and shock to be an

nachopee:
asshole.

ColorStorm:
I don't know him that well but I didn't think he was trying to be an asshole or contrarian, he was trying to shed some objectivity on the matter. It's not so

ColorStorm:
much that the shootings don't matter but that the other causes of death matter just as much and the fact that we can dedicate resources to helping to prevent

ColorStorm:
all those things is exactly the point. I see his timing as merely pertinent.

nachopee:
eh, I've periodically checked in with him over the past couple of years, he's an ass. Regularly inserts himself into conversations outside his area of expertise

ColorStorm:
I think he made a good point that people's outrage/emotional reactions are out of proportion.

ColorStorm:
hmm ok

nachopee:
and refuses to correct himself even when wrong. (he's very insistent that all table salt is sea salt... it's not) The underlying point he made may hold true but

nachopee:
there are a million other ways to convey that without dismissing people's emotions. That is never a good way to convince people anything.

nachopee:
*of anything

ColorStorm:
I guess that's true, there were probably better/more effective ways he could have done it. Certainly he was out of touch in that he didn't predict how much

ColorStorm:
negativity he'd get in response

nachopee:
I saw a few people backing his tweet with MAGA hats in their pictures and got a little frightened. I think he needs to be careful with what he says.... he is a

It sometimes requires putting in sacrifices/effort to support the collective at their own expense. People are too selfish to do that unless they're forced to.

What do you like about Buddhism?

ColorStorm:
Zen, reincarnation, their portrayal of God as something other than a petty, vengeful parent. It seems like a religion of being one with the universe with a sophisticated philosophy, rather than just posing a fear-based, black and white model of reality and a bunch of do's and don't's.. It may be the closest religion to spirituality-per-se. Though one time this guy was promoting Buddhism in the mall and gave me a free book, I read some of it and couldn't continue reading it, it was just a bunch of bullshit sounding just like any other religion with a lot of pointless, dogmatic teachings. So maybe it depends on what sect of Buddhism you subscribe to or something.

A lot of poor, homeless and disabled people would move to countries with welfare for everybody, like Norway, until they'd get so overpopulated with freeloaders that they have to change their policy. Other popular countries like America would get flooded too, cities would probably get a lot bigger and there'd be a lot more of them. They'd flood to the degree that the downsides of overpopulation would equally offset the original benefits of living there, then equilibrium would set in.

Why do people think being critical of Islam = bigotry towards middle easterners?

ColorStorm:
I'm going with Arthur's answer. To answer the question of why the same doesn't apply to Christianity, I dunno, maybe because Christianity is a lot more widespread than just one area of the globe. Maybe because criticism of Christianity is less popular/ not a cultural phenomenon, more of an individual-here-and-there thing. Maybe because the shortcomings of Christianity are less stark. Maybe because Christianity is older and more globally entrenched so it's taken more as an Earthly given.

There have been a few people in the 90's whom I'd exchange hand-written letters with, mostly if not all girls, but I don't know if we really went back and forth enough times to call them 'pen pals'.

LaDamaX:
Doesn’t necessarily have to be hand written letters.

when did you learn that not everyone in the world is friendly? Give us a story, if you like:)

ColorStorm:
Maybe when I was in kindergarten and I heard the way the 1st grade teacher yelled at her students. I sat on a step and cried because I knew she would be my teacher next year. My parents were probably mean to me already at that point, but I didn't think of them as being in the same category as people in general. In fact, I thought aliens came down and emulated my parents and locked the nice ones in the closet.

ColorStorm:
I sleep most of the time, just because I have nothing better to do. When I'm awake (which is probably because I can't sleep anymore), I find things to do on the internet like RetroSpring and Twitter sometimes writing on my blog. But there's only so much RetroSpring to do in a day since there aren't many users, Twitter gets old and I only want to write so much in a day (most days nothing), so I go back to sleep. I can't just 'chill' and do nothing because doing nothing is boring af. I 'chill' by listening to chillaxing music though.

I think a good percentage of guys are. Dunno if most are. Probably. I'm sure many heterosexual women are aroused by gay porn, depending on what you mean by "many," but I think it would be less common than guys who are interested in lesbian porn. Although "gay" can mean both homosexual males and homosexual females, and if you add them both up maybe just as many heterosexual women are aroused by "gay" porn as males are aroused by lesbian porn. Girls are generally a lot more open to bisexual experiences than guys are.

These people who say it wouldn't change you much and you would persevere in the long run haven't had really, really bad parents. They're naive. They don't realize how deeply childhood conditioning affects a person, irreversibly and for their entire lives.

Wasserpistole:
Is life more a punishment for you or more a blessing? / Betrachtest du das Leben eher als Strafe oder als Segen?

ColorStorm:
It's neither - I don't think of it as a punishment because I don't know of anything I did to deserve it. I think life is just unfair .. if everything good or bad that happened to someone were due to karma, then there couldn't be free will, because part of free will is affecting others as you like. Anyway, I guess my life could be a blessing in disguise.. hopefully.. who knows.

Wasserpistole:
There is no free will possible if there wasn't Karma. Karma is the only reason we have free will. Do you have free will if god decides everything or if

Wasserpistole:
atheists are right and we come into existence by coincidence and you haven't had anything to do with your gender, your family, they way your brain is wired etc.

Wasserpistole:
Karma means you made millions of conscious decisions (free will) in your countless lives you already lived and that forms who you are, the present you are in.

Wasserpistole:
Okay, it also needs Reincarnation for free will. Karma and Reincarnation. Hallelujah.

ColorStorm:
i think you can be formed by your millions of conscious decisions, and you can even choose your gender, family, etc. without karma having to be in effect

ColorStorm:
(in the sense of bad things happening always mean you did something bad, etc.)

ColorStorm:
one doesn't depend on the other.

Wasserpistole:
Not if you had nothing to do with your beginning. Your family is horrible? You haven't anything to do with it. You came into existence disabled? What did you do

Wasserpistole:
in your not existend past (before you were born) to have caused that? So many people that were not so lucky have it much harder to live a peaceful life.

ColorStorm:
well.. i think you can have everything (or everything else) to do with your beginning without it having to be your fault that your family is horrible.

ColorStorm:
and even your family being horrible could have been influenced by your past choices in a way other than because it was something bad you did

ColorStorm:
the idea that your choices help determine your current situation doesn't imply that they helped in the specific way that bad choices cause bad outcomes

Wasserpistole:
And how? Karma by the way never means it is your fault, it means you have caused it. To say fault is causing me to have the karma of mercilessness for example.

ColorStorm:
and good choices cause good outcomes. and even if it did, it wouldn't have to mean that *all* bad outcomes were due to bad choices and all good outcomes

ColorStorm:
were due to good choices

Wasserpistole:
To say, "It is your fault and you have to deal with shit now." Goes 100% against the idea of Karma. We always have to help others in need, if we can, otherwise

ColorStorm:
i think it just doesn't follow from "your past choices, even in past lives affect your present" to "everything bad that happens to you is because you did

ColorStorm:
something to deserve it"

Wasserpistole:
it would mean Karma of mercileness of cruetly of helplessness for us, this will teach us in the future to behave like humans and not like machines.

ColorStorm:
well, yes, whether everything is karma or not, and whatever karma means, i think we should have compassion for each other

Wasserpistole:
Okay, for example. Imagine in your past life you were an alcoholic. You absued your organs in a very bad way. Your friend on the other hand lived a very

Wasserpistole:
healthy life and almost never drank alcohol. Does he deserve to have liver problems in his next or one of his next lives when he always honored his body and you

Wasserpistole:
, just as an example that is not real of course, did the exact opposite? So you must learn by forced discipline not to do that again. That is how karma works.

ColorStorm:
i think if you're an alcoholic it doesn't mean you 'deserve' to have liver failure. but it's a known consequence and therefore it's wise not to be an alcoholic

ColorStorm:
but for some people it's the only way they can cope. life is harsh, it's not really their fault.

ColorStorm:
so, the guy who was an alcoholic 'should have' physical problems in the life he's an alcoholic in (his past life) but only to protect the integrity of causality

ColorStorm:
doesn't mean he should have problems in this life though

ColorStorm:
and the one who isn't an alcoholic could easily have some terrible issue with his body just because of bad luc

ColorStorm:
luck(

Wasserpistole:
And again, him becoming an alcoholic had to do with the decisions he made in his past. It really is bottomless. You can be rewarded or punished for things you

Wasserpistole:
did 2 million years ago. You can however mitigate your fate by acting accordingly.

Kate:
it is still a mystery to me why female models are demanded to be much taller than average and much more skinny than average when you want to sell the goods they promote to people from a different planet. Isn't that like selling shoes to snakes?

ColorStorm:
I think the no-brainer answer is that men prefer the look of tall and skinny girls. I can see why men prefer skinny, I do too. I think it's just an objectively cosmically superior aesthetic (insofar as there is any objectivity to aesthetics, which there is some--like a rose looks better than a pile of sh\*t), though I think a lot of models may take the dieting a little too far (skinny is good, but bony is bad; a good alternative to featuring anorexic girls would be skinny girls who are actually small-framed). As to why they prefer tall women (especially long legs) I don't know. I like a good leg-to-abdomen length ratio, but I don't care if a women is tall. I actually like short girls better, and being with someone taller than me would just be weird. I also think the faces of a lot of supermodels are extra manly-looking, not exactly ugly but not my cup of tea. I see tons of droolingly cute girls just being out and about that are far cuter than any supermodels I've seen. (Again, though, regardless of my own preferences I think the market is merely catering to mass/average taste in the look of its models.)

Spudella:
Hate creates a distance between u and someone. Or does it? I think indifference is a more practical goal.

ColorStorm:
It creates distance in a sense (you wouldn't share personal things with them, for example), but it's also a closeness in a sense. Hating someone is almost a kind of emotional intimacy with them, they might as well be inside you. It's just a form of attention and perhaps merely a particular distortion of love. My mom used to hate a boss of hers, because of the way he always treated her, and then it evolved into a kind of indifference. Like if he lived or died, she wouldn't care, even though she would spend almost every day with him, and that scared me. I don't think it's healthy. It's covered-up form of bitterness. It's a toxic interpersonal relationship. Corruption. Though if you're not spending a lot of time with the person you're indifferent toward maybe that's different.

Finish the sentence: Men who beat women are...! Women who beat children are...!

ColorStorm:
Men who beat women are assholes (in truth they're just unconscious of themselves/ignorant, but it's seductive to label certain people as assholes). Men who beat children are even worse than men who beat women, and the effects are worse. Women who beat children aren't necessarily scum of the earth like men are, IMO. I know that looks like an obvious double-standard, but men and women are different and their reasons for doing a specific thing or being a specific way are different. Women who beat children are just ignorant, fed up, frustrated, programmed by social standards, or whatever. (When I say men are scum of the earth for beating children, again that's just the seduction of labeling people. But I feel that in a way they're more malicious/brutal than their female counterparts.)

Do you prefer to live alone or with at least one other person (whether it be roommate, partner, or family)? Why?

ColorStorm:
I have to live with at least one other person. I tried living alone once for a few months, and it got so bad my negative/desperate energy affected the air in the room and it started randomly biting me. I would babysit my nieces now and then, and one of them told her mom there were mosquitoes in the air (there weren't; no, I didn't mention the bites I was feeling to anyone), and when her mom asked her where they were or said there weren't any or whatever she said they were "invisible." I looked it up and read that to clean negative energy out of a room you can put a thing with water in it in the middle of the room so I filled a pan half-way and put that on the floor in the middle of the room.

What file format is the most embarrassing (if others were to see/watch/hear) thing on your phone? (i.e. pictures, video, voice recording, private chat, search history etc.)

ColorStorm:
Search history, I guess, though I don't really search for bad things on my phone very much. I don't search for stuff in general on my phone very often. I don't know if my search history on my computer carries over to my phone. But I have zero embarrassing pictures, videos, voice recordings or private chats on my phone. Actually, wait, I have some embarrassing stuff in my Hangouts chat on my computer which I think automatically carries over to my phone. But there's a copious amount of chat with that person and you'd have to scroll through a lot to find the damning parts. As for pictures, occasionally I take a picture of a picture of a beautiful girl on it (even young ones), so that would be a little embarrassing, but I regularly move my pictures to my computer deleting them from my phone. But then, I have pictures in other directories that I don't even know where they are that come up in certain programs.

Qafka:
Does a pain sensation feel like the same for everyone?

ColorStorm:
Well, there are different kinds of pain, even for the individual, depending on the source of the pain. So I guess the question is, is pain caused by the same type of condition the same for everyone, or, is pain not more different for different people than the different kinds of pain are for one person.. I think the answer is that pain is that we basically feel the same kinds of pain in the same way, with possible minor variations, because we tend to *react* to pain in similar ways, and because, like Daniel said, we're built pretty similarly neurophysiologically. Of course, some people tolerate pain better than others, but that doesn't necessarily mean they *feel* it less. The higher tolerance could be due to differences on a purely psychological level, such having as a more fulfilling life or being "stronger". Also, in all persons pain can be anywhere from slight to extreme depending on what's causing it, so for any two people experiencing pain chances are it's at a different level; so I assume the question is about the *quality* of pain as something independent of its intensity. And yes, like Penelope said, some people don't feel pain at all. They usually end up dying by their early 20's. But since they don't feel pain at all (as opposed to potentially feeling pain differently), I don't think they count.

The other was my best friend a long time ago, but then he stopped talking to me (because of reasons) and taking me to the everglades, then we started talking again the other year but it hasn't been the same.

Imagine you have the power to revamp what a typical high school day in your country is like. How long would the day be? What time would it start? What subjects would be taught and for how long? etc.

ColorStorm:
School (for any age, if it were my choice) would start at 10:00 AM or later, AFAIK it's a known fact that children do better not having to wake up early in the morning making them tired for school, yet schools still require them to do so. School would be optional, not mandatory, and students could go for as many or as few periods as they like and could pick whatever classes they like. (An open question would be whether students get to choose this or parents do, and if the former then how to ensure that parents don't force them..) A lot of the classes would be vocational, the main purpose of school would be to prepare people for the workforce. As much as I hate the workforce, it's here, and this way people don't have to learn as much unnecessary crap in school (but then, they wouldn't *have* to learn anything under my system) and they don't necessarily have to pursue/pay for higher education to get a better job. Other classes would focus on practical skills for life--filing taxes, cooking, health & nutrition, repairing automobiles & other things, buying a house, doing a mortgage, etc. etc. And then there are the classes, and maybe *these* should be the main classes, that are suggested in Conversations with God book 2: - Understanding Power - Peaceful Conflict Resolution - Elements of Loving Relationships - Personhood and Self Creation - Body, Mind and Spirit: How They Function - Engaging Creativity - Celebrating Self, Valuing Others - Joyous Sexual Expression - Fairness - Tolerance - Diversities and Similarities - Ethical Economics - Creative Consciousness and Mind Power - Awareness and Wakefulness - Honesty and Responsibility - Visibility and Transparency - Science and Spirituality

If their personalities are pretty similar to each other then one is enough for me. If they're very different then it might be neat to make out with/date/whatever both of them.

nachopee:
How legitimate is the concept of the "friend zone," in your onion?

ColorStorm:
Depends on whether you ask a guy or a girl. Girls don't like the concept because it seems to imply that guys are *entitled* to getting sex from them. For a guy, desire for sex with women is strong and fundamental, it's a need, so when a girl categorizes you as a friend and doesn't want to have anything to do with you sexually it can be frustrating and disappointing. Personally, I'm glad the term "friend zone" exists. (As for the phenomenon the term represents, not so glad;p)

nachopee:
Sex aside, it feels like the guy is just victimizing himself and being dramatic (imo). If someone's not interested it is completely in his power to go find some

nachopee:
one else who is. And like Sean was saying it seems like most of the time the guy just waits around expecting the girl to express she wants something more than

nachopee:
friendship but the guy doesn't take initiative and put himself out there. Obvi not in all cases. Just feel like a person wanting to blame someone else

nachopee:
I also resent the fact that we're talking about this in terms of guy vs. girl because obviously other combinations exist

ColorStorm:
Yes, it did come to mind that if the guy is complaining about being friend-zoned then he may have been falsely leading the girl to believe he just wanted to be

ColorStorm:
friends, or at least that if he wanted to be more than friends he should have made that obvious or at least taken the proper role..

ColorStorm:
it reminds me of this gif.

ColorStorm:
https://meme.xyz/meme/27290/what-if-i-told-you-most-guys-friendzone-themselves.html

ColorStorm:
i don't mind talking about boys vs. girls because that's the pattern most people fall into, and so many discussions are about the generality of things anyway.

ColorStorm:
i think "woke" culture is way overly concerned about non-binaries. i mean they should be respected and all but we don't need to obsess over the concept.

ColorStorm:
re sex being a fundamental need for guys (in the comments on the other post), gurls just don't understand. =p

ColorStorm:
oh, i slightly misread your comment about other combinations. yeah, i can see how you would resent it since you're a girl who's into girls :)

80s or 90s when it comes to music?

ColorStorm:
Not sure, I probably like more 90's songs than 80's songs. But out of the 80's songs I do like, I don't know if I like them less than most of the 90's songs I like. Also, 80's songs have poorer audio quality than 90's songs because of the recording technology. Also I'm not sure if I like 2000's songs better than 90's songs.

Alizeh:
Tell me about the facts or harsh truths you choose to ignore but know you shouldn’t.

ColorStorm:
I can't live / survive spiritually for another 40 years in this situation and I'm doing nothing to change it. I have a cousin who's now an occasionally suicidal alcoholic and I think it's because of something I said. I should probably say something but I don't know what to say. All those girls I click 'yes' on on the dating sites would never go out with me, and if they did I'd probably just feel anxious about doing the wrong thing the whole time and feel like they demand things I can't give them. Things are probably going to get much, much worse for civilization in my lifetime because of the global warming and the general destruction of the environment. Many people will die, there will be wars over water, I may starve to death, my loved ones may die, we may be robbed, etc. One of my best friends has a negative effect on me because he's so mean all the time, but I refuse to break up with him. I'm probably getting spotty liver disease and risking getting diabetes or cancer from all the sugary drinks I drink on a daily basis. When my parents die, I'm going to get a couple hundred thousand dollars of inheritance, but that'll mean I'll lose my SSI, and in the long run the SSI, which is a meager amount, would pay off more than the inheritance, and I don't know if I'll even be able to live in a room for the rest of my life on the amount the inheritance will give me. But I haven't told my dad not to put me in his will. I know that old people get SSI too just for being old, but I don't know if they get it if they don't have enough work credits, and I forgot what age it starts at. My nominal girlfriend who was also my girlfriend 15 years ago is really weird and quiet now and I think it might be my fault from 15 years ago. But maybe not, she was homeless for some years. I've done so many things I'm going to have all this bad karma to deal with.. I've made up my mind never to come back to Earth again (depending on things I don't know yet) because this life sucked so bad and I can't afford the risk of another one like it, but there are probably important reasons that people reincarnate until they're ready to ascend and I'm gonna be relatively screwed. That's all I can think of ATMp

It's the heaviest substance on Earth, about twice as dense as lead, and I want to hold it to get more in touch with the phenomenon of gravity, or something like

On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being not at all, 10 being extremely) how connected to 'society' do you feel? Please elaborate on your answer.

ColorStorm:
9, I can't help but be connected to society because I'm immersed in it, have been all my life. It's the world I/we live in. Though there are some ways in which most people are connected to society that I'm not (for example, the workforce, fads, groupthink morality, etc.). I think maybe I'd rate most people at 10.

is logic the most important things? if it's not, with what does it share its place?

ColorStorm:
Imagination.

cybermoon:
which is knowledge reinterpretation?

ColorStorm:
I think imagination is much more 'magical' than knowledge reinterpretation or anything else one might be tempted to reduce it to.

cybermoon:
i don't know... to me it seems too much an excuse for "i don't know where it came from"; a lot of people imagine the same things

ColorStorm:
I think we don't know where imagination comes from.. though I tend to see it as *life* reaching out / inward and accessing other parts of The All

ColorStorm:
i think the things people imagine that are the same are the things you hear of, because they sell / solve a problem / whatever, but more often people imagine

ColorStorm:
things that are different

cybermoon:
well each one of us should have memory of where the elements of what we imagine come from (and how they got together on our mind), but we forget it

i didn't understand the part "are the things you hear of"

I think when you imagine, you send out a request and the universe fills your mind with stuff matching that request. By 'the things you hear of' i mean like

ColorStorm:
things from novels and movies, scientific discoveries, etc.

so cats are like women? XD oh now you love me, cause you need something :p

on a serious note i do believe dogs can love their masters, i heard a story where the dog sat on it's master's grave cause it can smell them underground

I didn't know Casio produces camcorders, audio and video players but I've always been a big fan of Casio. Back in the day they made really cool electronic keyboards, calculators, etc. for cheaper than anyone else. They didn't do everything for that price but they had all the most important features that the other cheap brands didn't, and I liked their aesthetics too. My watch is a Casio Illuminator. Not sure where it is though.

Well, I saw the Beauty & The Beast one, and I thought Emma's acting was really good, but I still think it would be a shame if future generations never see the original cartoon.

What's the better choice nowadays for casual peer to peer chatting, in your opinion? My freetardation doesn't enable me to use proprietary services and I'm unsure which open source meme protocol or platform is the least awful.

There's Discord but I guess that's not exactly what you want. It's proprietary but I think the service itself isn't, I think people run their own Discord servers.

4001:
it's pretty much a misnomer in technical terms, it's more like a virtual server you get to use off their systems, and third party clients are not allowed.

ChrisMartinez:
some politicians in the US are bring up the go to excuses for gun violence violent video games, of course it's ridiculous But devil's advocate is it as ridiculous as blaming Trump for the shootings?

ColorStorm:
I think it's a no-brainer that if kids are subjected to realistic, interactive imagery of violence for hours a day, some of them are going to be influenced in a way that makes them more likely to commit violence in the real world. Of course video games aren't the only factor, there are other social elements that push people over the edge, and video games probably just lubricate it. But I think this idea that video games don't contribute to gun-related violence is so popular just because (violent) video games are so popular and ingrained into our culture and considered the norm. I get the impression there's also this political thing going on, where the republicans/NRA want to blame gun violence on video games, and the democrats/pro-gun-control people don't, but I don't know enough about it to know the reasons for that.

4001:
columbiners getting their day of glory on the tv is a way stronger delusion lubricant imo, these nerds spend more time typing their manifesto than training

ZouBisouBisou:
Blaming video games and rap music is just a copout excuse for addressing the real reason this is going on. 1. Alt Right garbage flowing around the internet

ZouBisouBisou:
2. Easy access to guns. In shit kicker states like Texas, you can buy them from Walmart.

4001:
murrican's can't handle their own freedom, I agree. you shouldn't be able to buy a gun from wallmart anyway, because it's probably trash.

4001:
plus just dumping out garbage (like racist shit, incels, lefty tankies) without sanitizing by calling them atleast names will just make it fester more

4001:
the recent cloudflare drama reads literally like "WE Did it Boys, we ended HATE", meanwhile 8ch just bunkered down deeper and are snickering to themselves.

If I forgive, I probably remember but not out of passive-aggressiveness, just because it's impossible to forget something at will. I don't think forgiving is something I actually do though, it's more like 'hold a grudge until it goes away.' Maybe sometimes it goes away because I forget. =p

Yes, but how else to keep order in society when not many people aren't motivated to cultivate self-control? Also, not all crime is about lack of self-control. A lot of it is just about being a bad, selfish person.

Where is your god?

ColorStorm:
"I am everything that is, everything that is not, and everything in between."

Wieselmann:
what is that supposed to mean?

ColorStorm:
It's a quote from one of Neale Donald Walsch's books, part of God's side of the dialog. I may have gotten the wording a little off. Basically, it means that God

ColorStorm:
is everything / everything is God (probably like Spinoza's God), but it also expands on that, to give the sense that there is absolutely nothing that God is not

ColorStorm:
iow anything you could possibly imagine, whether it seems to be part of your reality or not, God is

ColorStorm:
I think the purpose of it -- or at least my takeaway from it -- is to give a sense of the utter completeness and fullness of God's nature

ColorStorm:
I have a theory that existence is relative -- iow not everything imaginable exists from \*our\* perspective, but anything imaginable exists somewhere in the

ColorStorm:
multiverse from some entity's perspective (that entity not existing from our perspective either)

ColorStorm:
so this makes it a little more coherent that God's existence could include "that which is not"

ColorStorm:
I wrote more about this theory in my blog, https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2019/12/09/is-the-universe-infinite/ , but I think it's not one of my most cogent

When I was in junior high one day waiting for my parents to pick me up, I found a pen (or marker?) that would leak ink whenever I swung it (don't remember how I discovered this fact).. so I went around and swung it down the halls, getting ink all over the walls. I reasoned that I couldn't get in trouble for doing this because if the pen/marker had worked correctly then the walls wouldn't get ink on them. (I know, weird. I was weird back then.) So anyway the 2 or 3 other kids who were there with me ratted me out the next day and I got paddled. I also got ordered to clean all the walls but fortunately the janitor just sprayed something over them that washed them clean. =p

I think your reasoning was perfectly reasonable!

What did you dream about in your last dream? I dreamt that I spent a whole day in Paris

ColorStorm:
I remember a girl who kept trying to get up in her room, but she kept turning half-way into liquid while the rest of her flops around and then she'd turn fully into liquid, then the cycle would start over. This was a part of a broader story, that I don't remember well enough to say much about, of competition between me and a few other individuals (one an old friend that I don't talk to much anymore), that went by weird, probably metaphysical/mystical, rules.

ZouBisouBisou:
I love how they defy all reason and logic, yet while in dream mode, we never stop to question why things are amiss.

Haha, yeah, and I've noticed myself several times in dreams questioning why something is amiss, and then, for no explicable reason, just *dismissing* the

ponderance without a second thought.

ColorStorm:
I think there's a mechanism in place to prevent us from questioning things too much or otherwise realizing we're in a dream

ColorStorm:
Or maybe it's just because we tend to be in a stupor

though a bunch of years ago i started noticing i was in dreams because of odd things, so i would lucid dream often. i still do, but nowadays it's more just

My phone is fucked. My phones are always fucked. Earlier than they should be fucked. How long do your phones last? 😭

ColorStorm:
My first smartphone was an LG Optimus and it still works but I had to get a different smartphone because that one always had a bug where it would stop letting me install new apps even after clearing 100 MB.. the next phone was a Galaxy S4 and I had to replace that one because it was an unlocked AT&T phone which I was using with Metro PCS and that meant that I couldn't use it as a hotspot. That one would still be working now too if my sister's friend (whom I gave it to) hadn't broken the screen. My current one is a Galaxy S6 and I haven't had any problems with it in all the years I've had it (dunno how many).

In the US, it is the norm for graduate programs (M.Sc, Ph.D) in STEM to be fully funded: tuition is paid and students earn a stipend for living expenses. Funding is not nearly as generous for arts & humanities students. Do you think this is fair?

I think it's just the economy investing in students who will probably eventually aid the economy in return. It's about as fair as being paid more to do a job that makes someone else more money, which is the essence of capitalism.

I don't like being alone in general, and if I spent Christmas alone it would mean that I'm in some kind of sucky living situation where I can't spend Christmas with my family like I have nearly every year of my life. Christmas is big in my family, we have a strong family tradition, but even so, I'm not sure if being alone for Christmas or other holidays would be any worse for me than being alone in general other than that it would just drive home how alone I would have to be in general.

What is your opinion on makeup, about the role it plays in our society?

ColorStorm:
Hate it. Only an immature soul is content with focusing on appearances over reality. So the proliferation of makeup in society must mean that I'm stuck on a planet of immature souls.. which explains a lot, of course. I'm not sure what "role" makeup plays in society other than that, since so many people use it, it's become expected of people in order to be presentable, which sucks ass. It also means men fall in love with women's false appearances.. there must be plenty of relationships where the man doesn't actually like the way his girlfriend/wife actually looks. And this probably helps people genetically drift into being more and more ugly by partially taking sexual selection out of the picture. Or maybe not, it seems that fugly people have no shortage of sex, they just get together with ugly fugly people. =P

I think there's more to life than meets the eye--a lot more--and that life is all-around more meaningful and magical than what we normally experience in this realm. So there's a good possibility that some, many, most or all of the things that happen to us (and even the things we *choose* to do and their consequences) have "meaning" (in the grandest/most spiritual sense of the word) behind them.

No, but I have deepset memories of motorcycling and walking down all the dirt roads around our log cabin in Michigan (in the forest) for probably solid days if you add it all up. And one year I felt invigorated by the energy of the forest and I felt like my hair was growing back (I was half bald at the time), and then when I got back to my hometown my friend told me I had more hair. I said I cut my hair since the last time she saw me, and she said, "no, I mean you have *more hair*", meaning that it looked to her like some of it had grown back.

With the previous question in mind, would you ever date someone 'out of your league'? (i.e. seen to be in a significantly lower league than yourself)

ColorStorm:
Well, I don't care so much about how they're *seen*, but the thing is I'm just not attracted to people who aren't pretty. I couldn't do it. People think that makes me shallow, but I feel like it's the same as if I called them shallow for not being able to fall in love with a sentient pile of goo or something. People are meant to be pretty, and I don't understand how so many people can have romantic relationships with totally gross people. I mean I understand it's because anybody prettier would be 'out of their league', but if I were in such a position (which maybe I am, since I don't have a job or car and live with my parents), I'd sooner just not be with *anyone* than try to somehow be intimate with someone gross.

There was even a survey that showed that 9 out of 10 Native Americans aren't offended by the football team 'The Redskins', even though (I think?) SJW's made them change it.

What do you hate about your parents?

ColorStorm:
My dad often (OK, sometimes) yells and cusses at people, he's nasty. But he's 10x better than he used to be. I think he likes to dominate too. My mom also seems to be very dominating, but since I've been close to her and loved her all my life, and she's been my best friend (for many years my only friend), I don't know how to get out of this mentality of being dominated by her. Also she's a total ditz and it gets annoying. Also whenever you point out anything that could in any minute way imply that she's anything less than perfectly impeccable in every way, she argues and argues and argues. There's no winning with her or pointing out anything she's doing wrong. And she won't even necessarily argue rationally. She'll say whatever she has to to have the last word, whether it makes sense or not. And she'll say something that implies one thing, then she'll say the opposite if it's convenient, and if you call her out on it you'll just go down the rabbit hole because there will be more and more contradictions, each time you call her out on one she'll add to the confusion, and it gets hard to call her on her BS because you forget exactly what she said, you just know that whatever she said it led you to believe the opposite of what she's saying or implying now.. well, the last few things I just said don't necessarily happen when you argue with her about something she got wrong, they happen during normal conversation. Half the times you talk to her she's a total mindfuck. I've learned to be resigned and not call her out on anything that seemingly doesn't make sense, or even ask her what she means.

Emtiendoo:
Given that cybernetics and gene tailoring are becoming more and more a reality, do you think that we are very near a cultural or existential revolution?

ColorStorm:
It's very possible, but I'm not looking forward to it. Humans will jump into the technology without fully understanding it and its long-term consequences well enough. Also, I'm a naturalist and a purist and anti-transhumanist. At least with cybernetics, we can't improve on nature. We'll be extending our wondrous living bodies with ((relatively) primitively crafted) dead material. With DNA it could go either way / both ways. We may really improve ourselves, or we may make monsters. There are two main factors behind this: one is lack of full understanding of how one change in the DNA will mesh with everything else in the genome / body and with other changes in the DNA, the other is humans' inevitably short-sighted and fucktarded views on what constitutes an 'improvement' to the human form. Also, I believe that gene recombination during meiosis is modulated by the essence/soul/spirit of the person who's being conceived, and interfering with that process per technology will hamper the soul's ability to adequately self-express (on a lifetime scale). But these things will happen sooner or later, it's just a question of whether it's as soon as we like to imagine it is. Predictions of future technology tend to overestimate progress in the short term and underestimate it in the long term. There are two things that could prevent these things from happening: 1) a cultural revolution where people become globally spiritually illuminated and realize the unnecessariness and folly of such endeavors, or 2) the eminent collapse of civilization due to our unsustainable, exponentially-increasing destruction of the environment catching up to us. I think 2) is far more likely and will probably happen sooner than cybernetics and gene tailoring would have. But to answer your actual question, if we do get into cybernetics and gene tailoring and civilization somehow doesn't collapse in the short term, I think it could very well cause a cultural and/or existential revolution, as it would easily redefine what it means to be a human and how we interact with the world and each other. What specifically those cultural and philosophical changes will be I can't imagine, at least not without giving it a lot of thought.

Even if I were capable of being a cop, which I'm not, I hate cops, I think they're bullies, and there are some good ones, but even if I were a good one I'd have to swallow my conscience and abide by the Blue Code. Later on, like in junior high, I wanted to be a "mad scientist."

Wasserpistole:
What would you say to a person who denies the holocaust of the Second World War completely?

ColorStorm:
Nothing. For all I know maybe it didn't. There are arguments based on empirical findings people have made that the holocaust didn't happen, or at least didn't happen in the numbers it's believed to have. Supposedly 16 million Jews died in the holocaust (or at least that was the accepted story for many years, I think they may have updated it), and I read once that the Jews had used the number 16 million multiple times in the past wrt their claims of persecution. I know saying the holocaust may not have happened is offensive, but it seems to me that that's only because society is under some strange spell where the canonical account of the holocaust is seen as sacred ground. For example, I tried debating this with my mom the other year and she actually refused to debate about it, saying that I "disgusted" her. That was really surprising. It seemed out of character for her, yet it's perfectly in character for society/people at large. And I wasn't even telling her that the holocaust didn't happen, just that death toll *may* not have been as high as we think it was. It was a downright bizarre reaction, and really opened my eyes to the fact that the whole world is under some kind of spell. Consider the fact that in many countries it's *illegal* to deny that the holocaust happened. If this doesn't sound strange and alarming, it should. To deny freedom of speech over something so particular that's just an opinion about historical facts and not even hate speech. I would have no opinion about the guy who denies the holocaust happened, I would just have an idle curiosity about whether he's right or not. I wouldn't consider him a racist or anti-Semitic anything because if you really wanted to speak badly about the Jews you'd just call them names or accuse them or something, not flex them in such an indirect and weak way as to deny that millions of them were killed in the holocaust. People are so silly to think that way.

Wasserpistole:
I believe this number is 6 million not 16. Sorry your mother reacted like that. I told my mother that I deny certain "facts" about the holocaust and she was ok

Wasserpistole:
with it. There was a holocaust and millions died, were murdered , in my opinion but still not that much and not as a goal to wipe out all Jewish people.

ColorStorm:
Supposing I didn't donate most of my money to a cause (like environmentalism, the democratic party, specific politicians, and/or campaign reform) and probably leave myself a couple million for a nice living and a sugar baby, I'd probably spend my time overseeing philanthropic endeavors like my idea for an NPO that facilitates the creation of employee-owned businesses and other community-sponsored projects all over the country and a software company that makes a DAW that's more intuitive/has a shallower learning curve than others and has all the features I can think up. (The software company isn't necessarily philanthropic but it could be--I'd consider releasing the software for free even though I paid programmers millions to make it.)

Alizeh:
Is it possible to look in the eyes of a person and to see if he/she is evil or good?

ColorStorm:
I would think that for some people it is. It depends on how empathic you are, and even then there are probably other variables that contribute to whether you're able to tell specifically from the eyes. But I think it's problematic to categorize people as "good" or "evil" in a binary way. Nobody's 100% evil, and nobody's 100% good. And evil is fundamentally a subjective assessment. I think it would be better to say that some people have a foreboding/ominous characteristic to their eyes, or that some people are sadistic, narcissistic, sociopathic, or wahtever.

Just caffeine, alcohol, and recently I tried marijuana for the first time. Or THC I guess. I didn't smoke it, I had two marijuana candies. It just made me feel a little bit, slightly chill like I was floating for a minute, then about an hour later it started affecting my thinking so I couldn't remember what I'd just thought and other effects, it was reminiscent of past psychotic episodes I've had. I felt like I'd contacted my true life source, which is good, but also like I was on the verge of doing thing that could be disastrous, as with when I'm psychotic.

Can you blame someone for being obese?

ColorStorm:
I feel like it's tempting to blame someone for being fat, but you have to consider that we live in a culture where all the foods are full of fat, sugar, partially hydrogenated oils, over-sized portions, and whatever else makes people fat. And also we live in a profoundly broken culture where depression is normal, so for some people eating is the only thing that makes them happy and lets them get by. To be downright obese, though, I don't know.. that's like another level of fat. I guess the same factors apply, but having no self-control and not caring about your body at all seem like they're more likely to be factors when it comes to obesity per se. All I know is, when I see someone obese, on a reflexive level it looks offensive af. Like how dare they embody such a gross mockery/abuse of the human form.

Wasserpistole:
Hello! What are demons and angels, in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure what angels are, but I tend to see them as categorically different from regular beings. My theory is that they're made perfect in a way, but in a more limited sense than us because they don't have to go through any kind of evolution to become perfect or self-actualized. They're like the fingers of God, and their only purpose (and maybe their only desire) is to serve other beings. I also suspect that angels sometimes sacrifice their lives and that if they make a serious mistake they can lose their life that way too, not because they did something that accidentally killed them, but because the fitness-to-serve function selected against them. I think they have huge hearts and can experience emotional anguish when profoundly bad things happen to precious people. I think maybe they can also be pissed off when an injustice occurs, but I'm not sure.. wouldn't that make them less than perfect? I could be and probably am wrong about any of this. I also think they can and sometimes do incarnate as humans, but after they live enough lives as humans they tend to become more like humans and take on humans' flaws. I heard that human angels wear plain clothes and don't want to stand out and that they usually figure out they're angels by around the age of 18. I don't think demons exist in a separate category from other beings, like they're permanently demons, or like they're made to be demons and unredeemable, or like they're the devil's minions (I don't believe there's such a thing as 'the devil' either), or like God is against them or anything. Inasmuch as something called 'demons' actually exists, they're just dark and/or immature beings who are on a path that causes them to be destructive or at least menacing to others. They're just at a particular place on the cosmic wheel and eventually they'll be in the light again.

How do you solve income inequality without another repeat of the Bolshevik/French revolution? This map is pretty sickening https://i.imgur.com/oNS64lU.png

ColorStorm:
I don't know if you can do it without a revolution, and I'm not that excited about a revolution because you never know what things will look like afterward. I think our current government is better than average (look out our civil rights, for example), so whatever government (probably a dictatorship?) would spring up (or whatever foreign government would take us over?) after the revolution would probably be worse than what we have now. I would love for us to put in effect a universal income cap, where, say, anything you make in any form of income over $300,000/year is taxed, but I think Americans are too sold on the American dream and too terrified of anything that might remind them of communism to ever vote for something like that. And even if they would, they'd never get the chance to because the ultra-wealthy would prevent it with their government influences.

That's essentially what we had under Eisenhower. A 90% income tax rate on the highest earners disincentivized them from laying off thousands of workers to give

Do you think it's customary/polite for men to put toilet seats down in homes also occupied by women? My brother thinks it's a double-standard that women don't put the seat up for men in kind, so he boycotted putting the seat down 😂

ColorStorm:
I agree with your brother, I think the whole toilet seat drama is making a mountain out of a molehill in order to control men. Girls act like it's rude not to leave the toilet seat down for them, when they can easily put it down themselves and it's no big deal, while meanwhile nobody's complaining that girls don't leave them up for guys. The other thing that bothers me about the toilet seat thing is that so many women fall into this pattern of complaining about the toilet seat and raising petty drama, without even thinking about it, just because so many other women do it. It exemplifies an extreme tendency toward mindless groupthink in humans that really bothers me. Of course, to even have a use/context for the whole toilet seat drama, a woman has to have certain aspects of her personality and her dynamic with her bf/husband in a certain way, and it's dismaying that so many people have cookie-cutter personalities and approaches to life.

ColorStorm:
s/dismaying/disappointing/ (just looked up 'dismaying' in the dictionary;p)

misty_river:
I think a lot of the women who complain do so because they habitually sat down without realizing the seat was still up and fell straight into the toilet water

misty_river:
I know it was a rude awakening for my groggy self at 3am but alas. 😂

ColorStorm:
haha, yeah, i was actually thinking about that, because i often hear that as an excuse for the toilet seat rage

but still, i mean, if you don't look before you sit down, that's your own fault.. xd

I wrote a 9000-word essay for a philosophy class. The prof only wanted, I forget, like 3000-5000 words I think. =P It was an essay on why the arguments for Intelligent Design are bad. I think he gave like 3-4 options for what to write about and I picked that one. I also wrote an essay not for any class that's over 100,000 characters, but it's separated into many sections that perhaps could have been their own essays. It's against scientism, rationalism, physicalism, skepticism, etc.

Well, he had said to the class that if you anyone wants to make the essay longer then ask him first. I think I did that at some point. Also he said once in

I think it's fairly perverse and insect-like to make a *science* out of studying the human psyche. But thankfully therapists aren't just about science. Other things come into play, like perception, resourcefulness, wisdom and awareness--things that make a therapist-client relationship actually interpersonal. I wouldn't want just anybody as my therapist, but there are some therapists that are truly aware and they can be useful. The last therapist I had was like that, but I accidentally scared him off. =/ After having met someone like him I don't want to go searching anymore trying to find a therapist who at least measures up to him.

I don't have any faith in the collective wisdom of forcing children to go to school and do homework, giving them marks, etc., so I think donating my time so that they don't have to go through that mental torture to get good marks is a generous and helpful thing to do, even if it means they never really learn the subject as well as they would have.

No. One time a group of friends and I accidentally paid too little though. The waitress chased us down outside to tell us. The funny thing is I had had a hunch maybe we didn't pay enough, even though I didn't pay attention to how much we threw on the table or how much we owed at all.

For those of you who already got the vaccine: did the needle hurt?

ColorStorm:
I got 1/2. I wasn't going to get the vaccine, but then I read some statistics about long-term cognitive impairment after contracting Covid, so I decided to get it. It probably stung a little, not enough to be memorable.

Wasserpistole:
We lost you. "Conscientious objectors to vaccination should stand alone, if need be, against the whole world, in defense of their conviction.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

I just got my second shot. I'm still sitting at the pharmacy so they can watch me. The second shot stung a lot worse, it was enough that I closed my eyes, and

ColorStorm:
it hurt the whole time she had the needle in

ColorStorm:
Still, though, I'd say it was tolerable. It wasn't bad enough that i'd be afraid of it if I knew.

fizzyarthur:
Just watch out for reactions, some might be stronger in the second dose, depending on the vaccine brand

Have you ever done a 180 on an opinion you once strongly held to? I've been thinking a lot about the Madeleine McCann case recently and really don't think they had anything to do with it. Furthermore, I think she could well still be alive.

ColorStorm:
When I first heard about the Jean-Bennet Ramsey (sp?) case, I was sure that the police just blamed the parents because they had no leads on the real killer and needed to blame someone so they didn't look bad. I was naive back then. Very quick to form opinions. And I didn't know any of the details of the case. Just the other month I heard all about it, the known facts and a strong theory that was concluded in a documentary that I now believe. The psychologically messed-up brother killed his sister with a flashlight out of jealousy and then the parents tried to cover it up.

Yeah, Burke is the strongest suspect.

What do you think the whole corona virus situation will be like in 4 months?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea what's going to happen. I fear, though, that once they start lifting the prevention measures the virus will just start spreading just as rapidly again, and it'll continue that way until the whole population has been infected and is immune. Hopefully a vaccine will be be produced soon or eventually, though the vaccine itself will probably be dangerous, as vaccines tend to be, the corporations making them having no regulations or legal liability for them.

What is your go to meal that you order when going to a restaurant that your visit often?

ColorStorm:
There are some restaurants we go to where I tend to get the same meals, like Denny's and IHOP, but I don't remember what they are. At IHOP I think it's some omelet with spinach and mushrooms and tomatoes and stuff. At Red Lobster I tend to get the Crab Linguini Alfredo, but we don't go there often. There's a Chinese restaurant near here that we've been to dozens of times, but that's over a span of many years, so we don't really go that often. Lately we've only been getting take-out from them, which has been often-ish, and I almost always get the Vegetable Deluxe. If I don't get that then I get the Orange Chicken. I also like to get Wonton Soup and an egg roll.

I just read on twitter: "You're either a #man or a #woman. Accept it." What do you say?

ColorStorm:
Yes; there's no reason to make it really complicated; trans 'women' are men, and trans 'men' are women. Calling it anything else is just a modern social craze, like one of those weird things people did in the 50's or something. Eventually we'll get over all this radical gender freedom (the proliferation of surgeries, the dozens of gender names, the pronouns, the dressing as the opposite sex, the bathroom debate) which is just an over-reaction to sexual suppression and gender role enforcement. But at least when we get over that we'll also have gotten over sexual suppression and gender role enforcement to some degree. And yes, some people are hermaphroditic as BEN pointed out; IMO that's the *only* exception to a person being either a *male* or a *female*, and hermaphrodites are quite rare.

Would you ever date a trans person? And (if you're male) is that considered "gay"?

ColorStorm:
Heck no, \*shudder\*. That's scary af. I'd almost rather date an unmodified male (which I'd also never do) than a trans person. I don't think it's considered gay, since in today's woke culture mutilated males are supposed to be considered females. Not everyone is woke, but even most people who aren't are relatively immature and regard things primarily according to their outer appearances, so wouldn't care that a trans "woman" is actually just a mutilated and otherwise chemically manipulated guy.

ZouBisouBisou:
Nothing wrong with being opposed to it IMO, but I don't like the idea of shaming someone for living their life on their terms. Especially when it doesn't hurt

Not very much, I'm a pretty good speller, and I know when I don't know how to spell something, though when I don't know how to spell something spell check is easy to use by keeping trying until it's not underlined anymore--easier than going to Google and looking it up. I think the thing I probably use spell check for the most is seeing when you can join two words into one (like "rule set" with the last question I just answered) vs. when you can't.

What do you think about the measures that your country is taking against the spread of the corona virus? Do you think it is appropriate, should they do more or are all these measures unneccessary?

ColorStorm:
I think the measures they've taken and more are probably necessary. I just read here on RetroSpring that Trump slashed the virus response budget in half or something so they can't do all that they should (especially testing more people), and that figures. I try not to hate people, but man, why is everything Trump does the diametrical opposite of what's good? Anyway, I'm a little worried about some states doing things like shutting down all restaurants and schools.. maybe it's necessary, but what are those workers going to do to support themselves?

If you had to choose, would you rather live in New York or Los Angeles? I hate New Yorkers but even they seem tolerable compared to all of LA's "script writers"

ColorStorm:
I'd hate either one of those, I find environments that are mostly concrete / grey, hard, square, man-made crap bleak/depressing as hell. And the atmosphere in those places isn't very healthy either. I don't know which I'd hate more. I haven't been in LA since Windows 3.1 was a thing, and I've only driven through part of New York. I think LA might have the worse atmosphere even though it's smaller, and I think people are probably more open/indifferent to weirdos in New York so maybe I'd feel less embarrassed and anxious.

ZouBisouBisou:
Yeah NY is pretty indifferent about weirdos. You could wear a pink poncho and rain boots in the middle of July and nobody would care or judge you for it.

On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being 'end of days', 1 being 'its fully under control') how worried are you about the 'coronavirus'/COVID-19 outbreak? (4 weeks ago I asked this question... curious to see if things have changed)

ColorStorm:
I'm more worried than I was before, though I try no to panic or stress over it too much. Not saying it's not a big deal, I just don't want to be stressed and it doesn't help anything (I guess?). So I guess there's a little bit of detachment or something there. Maybe it's a bit surreal like some other people were saying.

Kate:
Why is it that humans can think but make so little effective use of that? My theory is that we are only clever as individuals, being a member of a group dumbs us down below the level of apes.

ColorStorm:
Most humans aren't very good at thinking. A few are, and I'd say their insights and, more so, their inventions have shaped the world to a tremendous degree. We're *surrounded* by very clever and advanced technologies, we routinely use devices that the average person would be too dumb to every figure out how to make (including you and me). In a sense, as a group we're more clever than as individuals because the top thinkers drive innovation and because ideas spread, good ideas get popularized, people can learn from each other and successive giants can stand on each other's shoulders. I guess it's also true that in groups we become more dumb in some ways, like for example everyone pushing each other toward a gate at a game or something so hard that people literally die from being squeezed to death, or for example an angry mob, or woke culture, or cigarettes, etc. Not sure what all the principles behind that are.

But when I was 10 I made everyone start calling me by my official name, because I was going to a new school and I knew I could tell them my name was whatevee I wanted to and I was afraid people would pick on me for having the name Nicky because it's kind of feminine.

ChrisMartinez:
someone broke down the Gay marriage argument to me that was interesting. they centered it around love when really it was abt contracts & money.. idk if i agree but what is marriage anyway, a contract. so it was really abt protecting assets, thoughts?

ColorStorm:
You could say that in its capacity as a government contract the only purpose of marriage is about assets, but most people who get married don't do it to save money, they do it because they see the contract (and the ceremony) as a cementing of their love for each other. It's basically a contract that binds two people together by way of making it a lot more difficult to part. And people see this as romantic. Two gay people can of course be together without getting married, but the symbolism of marriage is very powerful in people's minds so denying gay people that feels like oppression.

ChrisMartinez:
it's kind of bragging rights . ppl (LET'S BE HONEST WOMEN) love the "wedding day" It's a celebration of me!! :p

It's hard to be objective about the English language since it's the only language I know, but I'm glad it's my language because I don't like the sound much of almost every other language. I've read a lot of accounts of what other-language speakers think about English, and they tend to say it flows very smoothly/naturally/whatever or even that it sounds musical, and I believe them.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be politically correct to depict criminals as black guys, that would be a PR *nightmare*. It's like reverse racism because it's worse to depict a criminal as a black guy than as a white guy, even though both can obviously be criminals.

What is your opinon about bootleg versions of anything, of movies, figures, cds etc.? Do you maybe own some bootleg versions of things?

ColorStorm:
I don't have any bootleg things that I know of. I have conflicting opinions on these. On one hand, information wants to be free.. restricting its use is legally messy and economically inefficient, and by stealing information you're sticking it to large, evil corporations. On the other hand, if nobody paid the creators of intellectual property, there would be little incentive to create IP that requires a lot of labor/talent and we couldn't have nice things.

Do you think Love requires sacrifices? If so...which sacrifices would you do for love and which ones not ?

ColorStorm:
It doesn't require sacrifice. Love grants only freedom. But sacrifice is something you may find yourself naturally doing if you love someone. By the way, I'm not answering in the context of romantic relationships. It bothers me that, every time someone hears the word "love," the first and apparently only thing they think about is romantic relationships. Where's the greater picture here? Where's your love for your fellow man, animals, etc.? And not to mention that romantic relationships are usually hardly even based in love. Each person is in it because they have something to get out of it. Instead of "I love you very much," they should say, "I trade you very much." So when people interpret the word "love" in a way limited to romantic relationships, it seems very crass and ignorant to me.

No, there are things that can be proved but not disproved (such as the existence of unicorns), so conversely it should be true that some things can be disproved but not proved, especially considering that any fact can be framed as either a negative or a positive assertion (example: it can be disproved that unicorns don't exist).

Are grown ups who are friends with teenagers weirdos?

ColorStorm:
Weird you ask that, just a few minutes ago I saw a rant on Twitter where this girl was saying that adults who are friends with teenagers are weird. Every reply I read to her disagreed, though one person mentioned that if an adult is friends *exclusively* with teenagers then they might be a weirdo. I don't see any good reason grown ups can't be friends with teenagers, they're all just people, people can generally relate to each other enough.. I think that having an issue with it is overly restrictive. And judgmental and tyrannical. And I'm not saying all that because I befriend teenagers, I don't have any teenage friends that I can think of.

ColorStorm:

ColorStorm:
Not sure. I mean it's a collection of thoughts, beliefs, memories, conditions, predispositions, desires, fears, other emotions, habits, archetypes and the subconscious, cognitive capacities, etc., but it's also like a "space" full of stuff with its own geometry for getting around..

in Long Island NY there were 10 hookers murdered over 9 yrs. still not found. A kid robbed a candy store unarmed. he was caught in 3 days. Prostitutes lives don't matter, why it should be legal, there shouldn't be a job that devalues ur life:)

ColorStorm:
People wouldn't devalue prostitutes' lives as much if prostitution were legal. And people are going to prostitute either way, so making it legal can only be a good thing. Also, the right solution to the problem of devaluation isn't to make it illegal to be the kind of person who's devalued, but to address the stigma in the minds of the populace. Homeless people are devalued too, should we make it illegal to be homeless? :P

If I were to borrow your body for a day, what kind of functional glitches should I know about?

ColorStorm:
- if you get diarrhea that's normal - Don't put too much pressure on my knees, they're rather weak - Make sure ALL the pee comes out before you pull my pants back up, otherwise some will dribble into my pants.. - Don't wait 'til you feel like you need to pee before you pee. Pee when you can feel that my bladder is full. I don't get the sensation of needing to pee anymore because that's like an emotion and my emotions are dead. - If you do wait a long time to pee, be patient and will it all to come out, sometimes it'll stop then go again.. otherwise some will remain in the bladder and I heard that can lead to an infection. I think I have a distended bladder because of holding it too long too many times due to not having the sensation of having to go to the bathroom. - When given the choice, better take the elevator, not the stairs. I don't exercise much. =P - I seem to be slightly/intermittently lactose intolerant. Not sure if being partially lactose intolerant is supposed to be possible. - My eyesight sucks. My glasses are to the right of my television in the case. - I'm really sensitive to bright light. If you go out in the day, be sure to take a pair of sunglasses, of which I have about a dozen. That's all I can think of.

White or dark meat chicken?

ColorStorm:
I know surprisingly little about this topic. I mean.. I don't think I've ever seen just dark chicken. I think of chicken as white, with having little dark bits in it. Do they actually take out the dark bits and put them together and serve them? And why would anybody possibly like that? =P

RetroKnight:
You know why those words exist? In Victorian England, it was considered rude to say 'breast' and 'thigh' so it became white and dark meat instead

nachopee:
certain muscles in the chicken are darker because they have more myoglobin. those are muscles that have a greater oxygen demand when the chicken is alive (legs)

Is life suffering?

ColorStorm:
Life is suffering for a lot of people most of the time, maybe for more people than it isn't, but I think people should broaden their perspectives and see that this pandemic of suffering is only specific to modern human culture. The Native Americans, for example, weren't always suffering, and in fact they thought of the white man as being mad, always frantically looking for *something* they don't currently have. And other animals aren't suffering all the time.

What's your stand on antibiotics?

ColorStorm:
It's a tough situation. On one hand, the more we use antibiotics as a society the more we facilitate the rise of superbugs that are resistant to them and we also remove the selective pressure on humans to have strong immune systems, but on the other hand it would be too harsh and authoritarian to refuse to administer it in thousands of individual cases to people who may need it. It's like the compassionate/merciful thing to do is to lead us all collectively to doom. The same goes for medicinal technology in general (because we remove all kinds of selective pressures that keep our species healthy).

Andy:
In what ways does what we are attracted to change as we age?

ColorStorm:
As we get older our psyche/emotional dispositions change (I don't know if they necessarily *mature* or advance, maybe they do, but they definitely *change*) and so the people we relate to and hence have the potential to be attracted to, and their typical age range, changes accordingly. We also don't see people as being so old anymore when we're old ourselves, and people who are a lot younger seem like fetuses.

Good answer!

In gym in HS this one kid (kinda weird kid, imo) was the misfit of the class, he'd get up and run around when we were supposed to be sitting, etc. Our teacher, Mr. McCogggle (sp?) was real character too (in a completely different way). Once the misfit kid (don't remember his name now) ran right in front of Mr. McCoggle and Mr. McCoggle whacked him upside the head. =P (I may be old, but even when I was in HS it was considered totally unacceptable and illegal for a teacher to hit a student ;p) As far as I know the teacher didn't get in trouble or anything, I think the class just thought it was funny. Personally I thought the kid got what he had coming to him. =P

Should every behaviour, that doesn't harm anyone not be critisized?

ColorStorm:
Yes. If it doesn't harm anyone, it's not wrong, and people who complain about it just have..unwarranted, personal issues with it. Morality should be entirely based on what harms and doesn't harm, because no other criterion makes sense. A couple other answerers to this question mention or seem to allude to harm that's subtle -- I'm including all harm under the same umbrella, i.e. if something doesn't harm then it doesn't harm at all in any way.

ColorStorm:
Using rational/analytical thinking to combat the scientism/physicalism/"skepticism"/rationalism/anti-spiritualism that so many people hold and believe is the natural result of rational/analytical thinking. I believe Iain McGilchrist and Rupert Sheldrake are also passionate about this. It's really rare, though. Most open-minded spiritualists aren't rational/analytical-thinking enough to tackle the problem and probably don't give it much thought anyway.

ColorStorm:
Ways to make driving safer could be: self-driving cars, cars that communicate with each other as they're driving, seat belts and such more like those in race

The fact that we drive the way we do is actually *insane* given how dangerous it is.

Wieselmann:
What makes you think that the relative positions of massive objects like stars or planets to each other could have an influence on us?

ColorStorm:
Is this question to me personally? If so, here's basically what I answered on the thread before Jason deleted it: It's not that I think it necessarily does, the point is that it *might*. And it's hard to see something as elaborate and specific as astrology having been invented and honed over generations out of pure *whim and imagination*, or to see it having gained such a strong foothold in society if it people didn't perceive there to be some truth to it upon learning and applying it. It may seem counterintuitive and inexplicable that remote objects have influence on us, but the universe is counterintuitive and inexplicable all over. Take magnetism for example. If it didn't demonstrably exist nobody would believe it, and it's inexplicable how magnetic objects can attract and repel each other without touching. The same goes for gravity and EMF. Even in physics we just take certain vagaries of the universe for granted and go from there. The universe is mysterious all around, and science doesn't reverse that. We know stuff is made of subatomic particles, but we don't know why they exist or why they have the properties they do. We don't know why space and time exist. We don't know why we live in three dimensions, or why we live in spatial dimensions at all. We don't know why the constants of the universe are what they are. We don't know the rhyme or reason behind quantum randomness, which underlies everything that happens everywhere. We know very little. As for the stars particularly, I don't think their positions influence us because there's too many of them, they're *all around* us, and they're scattered randomly. The constellations associated withe the signs are obviously just things people whimsically read into the positional patterns. I think the star signs work because they correspond to different times of year, which determines where the earth is relative to the sun, weather patterns, the cycle of death and rebirth in flora and fauna, etc. These are much more likely things to influence a person's personality and trajectory than star patterns.

Modern Science: What do you think? so much to think about when it comes to the future>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNymNQZVFVc

ColorStorm:
I think as biotechnology increases, especially involving reproduction, there will be more and more ethical dilemmas and legal conundrums to deal with. In this case, I think both sides should have to consent for the embryos to be used, unless the woman can't have children anymore without those embryos, then she should be allowed to use them. Not ideal, obviously, but probably the best practical compromise. (There's no ideal solution.) Though I think reproducing is a bad and selfish idea in general. Life on this planet in today's society is too miserable for the average human, and it's only going to get worse as we destroy the biosphere (and reproducing only quickens the process of destroying it, too). One thing I noticed they didn't define in the law (at least as reported in that video) is what they do if *both* parties want to have babies with the embryos. I guess they split them half and half? Is there ever only one embryo?

Surprise:
The law is constantly changing for the times. I think she can't have kids if they aren't these but it doesn't clearly state.It's sad on many levels

Surprise:
Men should have a say on whether they want to bare the responsibility of bringing life into this world. Imagine cases where a women widows&can't have the baby

What's a quick and easy meal you make yourself at least once a week?

ColorStorm:
Do microwaveable meals count? Whenever I go to the grocery store I get 4 microwaveable entrees by Amy's. They're expensive, but they taste *great* for microwaveable food. When I have them I usually have at least 1 a week, but they run out before I get back to the grocery store. Sometimes I also buy a large box of pepperoni pizza hot pockets, the kind with the special garlic crust, and have those whenever I'm hungry and there's nothing else to eat. I also get chef boyardee lasagna sometimes and/or beefaroni and/or overstuffed ravioli and/or campbell's condensed chicken noodle soup. If I have none of the above and there's milk I eat some raisin bran, I always have some handy. (There are other cereals I like more, like fruity pepples and cinnamon taost crunch, but raisin bran is OK and it's more healthy.)

What is a demon in your opinion? / Was ist ein Dämon deiner Meinung nach?

ColorStorm:
A very immature/ignorant spirit that, for whatever reason, wants to harm others. Maybe they have a lot of anger. Maybe they're confused. Maybe they're very shortsighted/unaware wrt what gives them pleasure. I guess another characteristic so-called demons have is that they're dark, but I don't know if all demons are dark. I don't think demons are categorically different from you and me, like they're created by the devil or some silliness, they're just at a different place on the cosmic wheel.

Which one fits you better? "Live for the moment", or "Save the best for last"?

ColorStorm:
Largely, I see "live for the moment" as one of those pithy things people tell others to do because it sounds good. Maybe their balance between living for the moment and living for the future was already optimal? Maybe too much "living for the moment" is reckless? Or maybe it's a lot easier said than done, like "it's the little things that count"? What if the little things don't matter to you? So I'm not that fond of "live for the moment." "Save the best for last" is more obscure and less broadly applicable, though. I don't know if it's something I do or not. I guess sometimes. So I guess me answer is either "neither" or "save the best for last."

We have these cute little beetles in our house, my mom calls them weebles but I don't think they're weebles. They're not as disgusting looking and their legs are shorter. Anyway, a couple of days ago I was lying in bed and one got in my ear. I was afraid it would fall deeper into my ear and I didn't think in time to turn my head over to the other side to let it fall out, so I grabbed it and kinda scraped it outta my ear. I think I squished it slightly and I don't know if I killed it or mortally injured it or what. Felt bad about it.

It happened to me one time in my life with a girl I liked okay. We both were maybe 14,15 years and were waiting for the schoolbus to arrive. It was so nice.

Wieselmann:
Do you think there are biological reasons for the fact that much less women than men work in a technical/engineering job?

ColorStorm:
Yes, but talking about such a truth is taboo in 2020. There are essential differences in energy, personality, preferences, etc. between guys and girls that run way too deep to be merely cultural. Most people aren't perceptive enough to see this though so they remain safe in their PC zone. That's not to say that girls are just too dumb to participate in STEM jobs, it's just that most of them wouldn't prefer that kind of subject. (Not all of them, obviously--there's a bell curve to anything like this.) It makes sense that there'd be essential differences between the sexes per sexual selection, and probably natural selection outside of sexual selection too. Anyone who thinks that the physical differences between men and women have nothing to do with personality and emotional differences doesn't have a clue how things work in nature and are disconnected from their natural faculties of perception. Biological organisms are highly holistic creatures, and for the most part, what you see is what you get. A cat isn't cute solely because it happens to look a certain way; how it looks is cute to us because of what it implies about the cat's mental characteristics. It's no coincidence, for example, that a woman's skin is softer and also women are less aggressive and more emotional. (There's a lot of baggage in saying women are "emotional." I'm not implying that they're helpless to control their emotions, or that it's a disability of some sort, etc.) And we don't actually fall in love with each other based on looks for random, meaningless reasons as the academic way of thinking would have us believe; a person' s facial characteristics reflect certain key personality dispositions, in a language that only the intuition or emotional body understands. As within, so without. The essential mental and emotional differences between the sexes is the spark of romance--opposites are attracted to and complete each other, and that's a very good thing. Nowadays there's a huge movement to bring both sexes together into some kind of single androgynous sex, and people don't know what they're out to destroy.

ColorStorm:
There's no reason, no reason at all, to assume that the genes determining physical characteristics would diverge for the two sexes but the genes determining

ColorStorm:
mental characteristics wouldn't. And yes, many of our mental and emotional characteristics are dependent on genes, it's not a blank slate. Otherwise a

ColorStorm:
hamster would have a lot more in common with a person mentally. And science has shown us just how deeply brain structure is involved with the various mental

ColorStorm:
faculties.

ColorStorm:
And yes, there is cultural bias that plays a role in keeping women out of STEM subjects, I'm just saying that's not the only factor. I don't even know if it's

ColorStorm:
the major factor

ColorStorm:
And the cultural bias itself didn't spring from a vacuum, it came about ultimately because of these intrinsic differences

Do you think that technological progress can decouple economic growth from causing further ecological damage?

My mom implicitly said something that made a person (which was working for her) feel bad today, and they changed subject to avoid getting stressed. She doesn't recognise that, saying that she didn't had the intention and the person changed subject so it was nothing. How do I convince her to change her behaviour and be more understanding?

ColorStorm:
That would be a hard thing to do. I think you can't really change people, usually. But to try, I guess you could just spell it out for her kinda like what you did here. Tell her how what she said could hurt the person's feelings, why the fact that the person changed the subject doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't hurt, the fact that you can hurt even without intending it and the decent thing to do is to be careful not to do that, that she should have compassion, etc.

What would you think if someone said to you "I tolerate gay people but I don't accept them?" (based on a true story) Do you think that stems from a philosophy / worldview that you can agree with?

ColorStorm:
Well, I guess the person is kind of homophobic but at least they're sophisticated enough to live and let live. "Accept" can mean different things. I guess in this case it means he doesn't approve of them, wouldn't make friends with them, etc. I think gays deserve to be accepted, so no, I wouldn't say I agree with the person's worldview. Maybe I'm somewhere on the same scale, though, because while I stand for gay rights I definitely wouldn't want to see or think about two guys kissing or having sex. =P But that's completely fair in my book.

Wieselmann:
Try to find a good argument against panpsychism. Panpsychism is the view that all matter, even subatomic particles inherit some form of consciousness.

ColorStorm:
We don't observe conscious behavior in non-living things or things with no brains, and modifying the brain modifies the conscious experience, so chances are that brains produce consciousness, and atoms and such clearly don't have brains, as brains are *made* of atoms. I'm playing devil's advocate, of course, I believe in panpsychism.

Wieselmann:
I think its hard to say what behaviour is conscious or not. Its hard to tell if it is like something to be a cockroach for example

ColorStorm:
Yes, and as humans, and beings with brains, we're probably predisposed to recognizing consciousness in other beings to the proportion that they're similar to us

Can you relate? 'you know you’re fucked when the sound of their voice does something to your heart..' ?

ColorStorm:
No, I think it's kind of corrupt to see falling in love as a negative thing that's happening to you. I understand the reasons though. Relationships always end in heartache. I think that's a cultural sickness, we're going about it wrong. If you really thought love was something that fucks you, you should dig in and ruin that part of you that has the capacity to fall in love. Which would be tragic, of course. But otherwise you're being self-contradictory.

Kate:
I think "fucked" here doesn't mean the feeling is evil or corrupt. I think it just expresses the inevitable entanglement you experience that you were not aware

Cancer is everywhere. Terrible. What do you think is the main reason for it?

ColorStorm:
There is no main reason, that's the problem -- there are thousands of cancer-causing agents in our environment.. in the air we breathe, in things we touch and in things we eat and drink. Each one has only a slight chance of causing cancer, hence its being approved by the government, but they all add up. If there's one main reason then it's technology/industry in general. The only way to get rid of this cancer epidemic is to do much more extensive testing on *every* artificial agent we produce and put much more stringent regulations on them all, or to forget technology altogether and go back to tribal society where people were happier anyway.

Wasserpistole:
In a spiritual book I once read that the main reason for it is abuse of power.

ColorStorm:
hmm, maybe. It's powerful people who own and run the companies that manufacture all this crap and don't care about its health effects as long as they can get

away with it.

Christopher Columbus had a way unfair rep (too positive) for a long time, but I think people are starting to become more aware now. A lot of people are saying Mother Theresa was actually a horrible person, I've heard some bad things about her, but I'm not sure. Rosa Parks wasn't the first, or even the second, to do what she did.. she was just the person somebody decided to make the face of the movement, so a few other people that deserved notoriety just as much got none.

Bored2018:
Yes, I heard of the teenage (and I believe pregnant) girl who did it a few short months ahead of her but she wouldn't have made for a good public image. As for.

Do you like physics? How advanced is your physics knowledge?

ColorStorm:
I think physics is neat. Once upon a time I even wanted to be a physics teacher. I've done calculations involving momentum exchange, gravitational free-fall, etc. I know a lot about quantum mechanics and some about relativity and the basics of thermodynamics but only on an abstract level.

Wieselmann:
What is your favorite interpretation of QM?

ColorStorm:
"a lot" is probably an overstatement. i know the basics. my favorite is Many Worlds Theory, though Many Minds Theory looks interesting too

Wasserpistole:
If you are not a vegetarian, vegan etc. would you enjoy eating things like liver, brain, kidney from an animal?

ColorStorm:
I've eaten liver, and it was okay. I would NOT enjoy eating brain. OMG. And I hear they're really salty anyway. Don't know about kidney. Is that nutritious?

Wasserpistole:
No idea. But I find the idea disgusting to eat organs. Once I tried chickenliver and it was almost disgusting I would say.

ColorStorm:
I guess the way I see it, muscles are organs, it's disgusting to eat flesh if you really think about it, but if you're going to do that, might as well eat

ColorStorm:
whatever part of it.

ColorStorm:
Though yeah, the idea of eating some organs is a little more disgusting, like kidneys, or testes

ColorStorm:
or brain or tongue

Wasserpistole:
Yea, it's a question of taste if the animals is already dead and cannot feel pain anymore if people want to eat their testicals or brains but that kind of a

Wasserpistole:
mh, that is kind of a perversion in my opinion. I don't eat meat, don't need it, don't miss it. I believe that is the best course.

ColorStorm:
yeah, i can't say i disagree

What's an app or website you'd recommend? I like using free.mailbigfile.com to upload larger files you can't upload as an email attachment. Creates a temporary download link good for up to a week.

ColorStorm:
For that you could just put the file(s) on your own webserver (Abyss Web Server is easy to set up) and use a free dynamic DNS service like dynu.net if you don't have a static IP. That's what I do. Works for receiving files too if you use https://www.dropzonejs.com

ZouBisouBisou:
Ain't nobody got time fo dat. I used to have a Linux FTP server setup for that with DDNS back in my IT days. Bit insecure way to go about it though.

ColorStorm:
yeah i've used ftp to transfer stuff too, but mostly just to myself for some reason. I have filezilla client and filezilla server on my computer but i rarely

ColorStorm:
use them

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."

What wud u put in the following sentence........ If I wasn't so ____ my life may have been easier. Me : rebellious. I'm not sure I want to give it up entirely tho lol.

ColorStorm:
I thought of answering "sensitive" like Noshit did (before I saw his/her answer) but I decided not to because I'm not sure being less sensitive would be worth it. I.e. it's not that I'm too sensitive, it's that I'm in the wrong world.. who I am is more important than the world I'm in. Also it could have been my parents' emotional abuse that made me so sensitive, in which case I wouldn't want to have come into the world less sensitive, though of course that still leaves wishing I weren't so sensitive *now* as a result of the abuse, but then I might as well just wish I were never abused which is a no-brainer.

Spudella:
Kind of a bummer I don't tolerate anaesthetics. I seem to have experience everything in this life wide fucking awake in technicolor style pain. Do you have issues with the design of life?

ColorStorm:
Pain and suffering lead to more pain and suffering, and wanting something a lot leads to not having it (because by wanting it you're projecting the idea that you do not now have it out into the universe, which agrees with you). Seems like a cruel design. Also, life seems to be way too ironic, not sure what the reason is, and that may be just my life.

Spudella:
Well I have the equivalent of knives dissecting my abdomen cos of bleeding polyps. Removing them i am told is gonna be 'somewhat barbaric'

Spudella:
We are still in medieval times. Fuck God. He ll be getting a knife in the anus when I see him. Of course he isn't real. I may have to choose his representative

Spudella:
😂

Spudella:
That stuff about projecting into the universe is hocus pocus. There are so many quasi delusional beliefs out there. If not frankly delusional.

Spudella:
When I say design I'm referring to flesh and blood. Not arbitrary concepts.

Spudella:
The universe agreeing with us. Pffft. Do we care about ants. In an anthole. We are so fucking egotistical.

Can we ever have world peace? :)

Yes, a long time from now when culture changes, when people become more spiritually advanced. Unless there's a revolution in the near future. Some people say this will be soon. But IMO there may be a revolution but not likely of the type to purify people's hearts.

Wieselmann:
Would we use another numeral system than the decimal system in everyday math if we had less than 10 fingers?

ColorStorm:
It's hard to say, there could be other reasons for it being based on 10 - maybe 10 has some aesthetic/cosmic significance, but my guess is that it's no coincidence that it's based on 10 and we have 10 fingers, so the answer is probably yes... though I'm not naive enough to think that it would necessarily be equal to exactly how many fingers we have. For example, we may prefer multiples of two, and if we had too few fingers we may prefer a higher base.

Qafka:
Why should political power reside in the people if the people have no clue when it comes to politics?

ColorStorm:
Because otherwise you could have a government that's totally corrupt or tyrannical with no desire to serve the people, but only to use the people to serve itself. And I think if it's a capitalistic economy you'd have a plutocracy pretty quickly.

Qafka:
Is it morally acceptable to like the works of an artist who is a morally bad person?

ColorStorm:
Morally acceptable to whom? To society, or to me? I think we demonize each other too much. There are people who do things that are destructive to others, but there are no "bad people." We all spring from the same source, and what makes someone "bad" is only a long timeline comprising a feedback loop between decisions/reactions and experiences, a timeline which a third person isn't privy to and can't understand. That's why they say not to judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. And starving someone of attention, love, money, happiness, or whatever won't help them or make them a "better" person. If anything it'll have the opposite effect. One of the major changes humanity has to make in order to survive and prosper is to embrace each other. And anyway, just "liking" art by a "bad person" won't make you a bad person and it won't further proliferate whatever injustices the "bad person" commits. And a morally bankrupt person can easily produce good art. It's not all black and white, everyone, even Hitler, has beauty to them.

Wieselmann:
How many holes does a human have?

ColorStorm:
Different ways to compute this. Do you count the eye sockets? Even though they're plugged with eyes, and also they have a thin sheet of bone behind them? But they do have holes in those bones for the optic nerve I guess? And are we talking about a male or a female? Females have a cervix, males don't. And then you could count the holes inside the person, like for example in the heart where the veins and arteries come out a stuff. And if you count the pores in the skin, there's thousands..

Qafka:
Would you rather be intimate with someone who is conventionally unattractive but has an amazing personality, or with a really hot looking person who is stupid/an asshole?

ColorStorm:
Depends on how unattractive she is to \*me\*. If someone's totally not my type / looks like a potato then I can't be with them no matter what personality they have, but sometimes people who are conventionally like a 5-6 actually look cute or at least tolerable/semi-cute to me. Also is her personality just "conventionally" amazing, or do I actually totally adore her and she uplifts my spirit? If the latter then I'd probably pick her. I might pick her anyway, since I don't like assholes / people who make me feel bad. As for being stupid / dumb, though, I don't mind that. If it's a conventionally unattractive girl whom I find semi-cute who has a conventionally amazing personality but whom I don't totally adore vs. a really hot dumb girl, that would be a tough choice. Hmm.. The latter.

Also airports. I don't fly anywhere because I'm terrified of airports, figuring out what to do, doing it all before my flight leaves, not knowing what to do if

You take a walk outside and all of a sudden a stranger talks to you. "Watch this!" he makes a gesture with his hand and immediately, it starts raining men, no, I mean flower petals and not just a few on your head but for real. How would you react?

"How did you do that?" I'd try to determine whether it was some kind of trick (but how? If nothing was flying overhead..) or if he's like god-realized or something. It depends on him being honest and forthcoming, of course.

How many hours of sleep do you need to function properly?

ColorStorm:
it depends. Sometimes just 2 to 3 hours (usually if I'd been awake for 24 hours or longer and then went to sleep, or if I have an exciting new project going on), sometimes 8 hours. Lately, maybe more because my body's used to sleeping all the time. I wouldn't really know because I always get all the sleep I need plus a lot more.

What do you think about this AI generated song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MKAf6YX_7M

ColorStorm:
I refuse to listen to it lest it infect my soul with scabies. AI-generated music as an abomination. It's inhuman, it's not in touch with life, it's not truly creative. But it simulates such things so people are inclined to be moved by it, and that's poison.

ColorStorm:
maybe. I guess I feel like I have to over-state the case to make up for the fact that I'm pointing out a danger that most people can't see at all.. =p

AI could someday end us all. But music is not the sort of risk that would lead up to that. :D

Qafka:
If you could make someone strongly attracted to you, who would you choose?

ColorStorm:
Omg so many to choose from. Miranda Cosgrove, Avril Lavigne, a few girls I know on Twitter, Thylane Blondeau, Cara Delevingne, any number of really beautiful girls I've seen on the internet.. I know some people say you shouldn't *make* someone like you (as by magic or whatever), but I think that if Miranda Cosgrove (or maybe if *anyone*?) knew the true me, they'd instantly be charmed and delighted. ..Except that I'm like a shadow of who I once was, an empty shell of a human being, so maybe that's not true anymore. Maybe I have to come to terms with the fact that magically making someone like Miranda like me would do them a disservice by bringing them down to my level. So maybe I'd just pick someone who's extremely beautiful on the outside but isn't anything special on the inside so it wouldn't matter.

Which order (from best to worst) would you most like to be complemented on: your appearance, a particular body part, your outfit, your personality, something you own and something you have done?

ColorStorm:
Appearance - yes, I like to be thought of as cute. Particular body part - no, that's just weird Outfit - Yes, I like to be complimented on my outfit but it's not as important as other things in this list Personality - I dunno, I'd say yes but I feel like nobody could ever truly know me. If they compliment me on my personality it just means they've only seen the positive side of it. Besides, it's arbitrary whether someone happens to like your personality or not anyway. Some people happen to have a personality that clicks with it, some people don't. Something I own - No. Something I've done - Yes, that may be even more important than complimenting me on my appearance. Just because I yearn to do something notable / remarkable / impressive. I always have.

A quote by Leonard Bernstein: "This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before." Do you find this naive or does he have a point?

ColorStorm:
It's hard to quantify how much effect art really has on a society, so he may have something there.. but I doubt it. I think it's naive. I don't know who Leonard Bernstein is, but I'm guessing he's a musician or otherwise closely involved in music, which would be the source of his bias.

He is a legendary conductor from last century. Every friend of classical music knows his name.

Ok, famous conductor was one of my first guesses.

One narcissist is hard to handle. When u start to be surrounded by them you start to feel like you've been abducted by vampires. Can u actually eat garlic? I can't I'm Allergic.

ColorStorm:
I'm not allergic. I love garlic in food, but as for plain, raw garlic cloves, they're a little too hot to eat. But I put some in the toaster oven once for a while just to see what happened and it made them not hot anymore, they were just like potatoes. So for a while I used to eat them that way. Once I made a bunch and mashed them all up to see if it would be like mashed potatoes. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. =/

I would actually vomit after that much garlic followed by sweats and passing out. So I have to put up with the narcissist vampires 😂

Give me an image, paint me a picture with words, tell me one example for perfect happiness in your opinion:

ColorStorm:
When your heart is alight, when you can feel it radiating. Or when your heart is connected to all the life around you, you can see how you and the trees dancing in the wind and enjoying the sunlight are one. Or when your heart and a cute girl's heart are connected via a metaphysical extension cord and exchanging with each other. Or when you can perceive the soft white light of God all around you. Perfect happiness doesn't mean that all your circumstances are perfect, because when you have something real to be deeply happy about all of the rest doesn't matter, it's drowned out by your happiness, it's not part of your focus.

The excerpt given at the top of the Google search results says it's a misogynistic term, but I don't see it that way. In today's "woke" culture anyone will say something is misogynistic with a hair trigger just to gain PC brownie points. I think the term just highlights how unequal/gynocentric the dating world is. Girls/pussy are in such high demand that guys will go all out for them while the girl doesn't have to bring anything to the table. It's not really fair.. not that anything about life has ever been fair. Girls say they have it harder than guys, but things like this make it seem like they have a huge advantage. I hate being a guy and wanting a million beautiful, delicious girls that I can't have. It's all I really want. So it's like being a dog and having treats waved in your face all day and never being allowed any of them. And I'd hate being a simp because it's humiliating rolling out the red carpet for someone who does nothing in return but allow you access to her body. It's kind of a toxic dynamic. I don't think it's healthy for the girl either to have someone wrapped around her finger like that. And, like (I think it was?) Pawesome, I'm kind of skeptical that the approach even really works. (BTW, regarding girls having a huge advantage, yes, I know girls have challenges that I, being a guy, know nothing of.. I just want girls to see guys' side of the equation here.)

Every man I date is always very involved in their daughters lives. I haven't even met mine. Do you do stuff with your dad?

ColorStorm:
My dad has never done anything with me unless you count driving me places, family outings, etc. You know, in all my life he's never hugged me once? That would be kind of hard to imagine, it's not his personality. He sure used to yell at me with rage, cussing, threats and intense nastiness a lot though. Nowadays he's downright decent.

Spudella:
Why has he changed do you think? Just a mellowing with age perhaps?

ColorStorm:
I think that's one reason. Also my mom said that some years ago she made him stop his constant yelling, I don't know what she said to him.

ColorStorm:
Also he seemed to yell at me personally a lot less after that time he told me to do something and I had a kind of mental/emotional breakdown

Due to chemical experiments in my bathroom with a friend I do this quick check about blue hair colour. Do you like it or rather not? For me it looks like I want to get all my ten fingers into that hair! Love it!

ColorStorm:
It's not bad, I'd totally fvck a girl with blue hair, and I think it'd look good on you since you have a pale complexion and wear black clothes. That being said.. that's only if you insist on dyeing your hair, since I really think everyone should only have their natural hair color.

Are you a collector of anything? Rare coins, trading cards, belly button lint?

ColorStorm:
I used to have a collection of coins from 50 different countries, plus some tiny miniature fake coins and some wheat pennies and one 1943 steel penny... but I suspect one of my cousins stole that collection a long time ago. I had it all in a large Easter egg in my closet. I also used to have a jar (a large clear glass pig) with about 2,000 pennies. I used to collect lights, too, of all kinds.. like rotating beacon lights, barricade lights, strobe lights, black lights, all sorts of random stuff. I also used to collect Coke bottles. That collection I still have. Some of them are really old. And some are pretty old and still full. I also used to collect alarm clocks (the round kind with the actual bells on top) and just recently I got a few more. I also used to collect baseball caps.. I still have them.. somewhere between 100 and 200 of them. One of them is signed by Jeff Gordon. No idea where that one went though. =P Oh, and vinyl records. I have 2 or 3 milk crates full of them. I've collected other stuff too but I can't remember what atm.

How would it change your world view if people could prove, without the shadow of a doubt, that demons and angels are real?

ColorStorm:
It depends on what you mean by "demon." IMO demons are just spirits in darkness/ignorance / immature/aggressive/destructive/evil spirits, but not categorically different from non-demons. Given enough time a demon will get over that phase and grow into a decent spirit. So if it's somehow proven that demons are categorically different, that would change my mind about that. But it raises questions about in what way, and why, they're categorically different, why they exist, etc., and the answers to those would have further impact on my worldview.

Does a person's happiness level depend mostly on the good or bad things that have happened to the person, or on something else?

ColorStorm:
Incidental circumstances are a big part (whom they're surrounded by, what their occupation is, their health, etc.) but psychology also plays a big part. One's psychology, however, is largely determined by their past circumstances--IMO mostly the circumstances in which they grew up, especially the way their parents treated them, but also bullies at school can have a big impact.

What are your thoughts on the controversial Gillette short film? https://youtu.be/koPmuEyP3a0

ColorStorm:
My thoughts are pretty much what they were before I'd ever seen it just from seeing people talk about it: so many guys hate it because they're toxic-masculine assholes. There's no other reason. Another thought I had is that when they say "to say the *right* thing, to act the *right* way," it brings to my mind group-think, shaming people into falling into line, etc. It makes me feel solidarity with the people who see morality as simply rules imposed on us by the collective, even though I normally wouldn't feel solidarity with that type of person. Maybe 'nick and Kate are right, maybe it's a soulless PR move. If it was just a PR move, though, I wonder if they made a miscalculation, considering how many people are now throwing out all their Gilette products..

Andy:
Apparently Nike made money from their 'controversial'... will be interesting to see if it works again.

What sort of fantasy do you like? (i.e. sci-fi, magical, medieval, dark romance etc.)

Magical, at least when it's a fantasy I'm coming up with myself. Not sure if I like reading magical fantasies, not sure if I've ever done it. Though I like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings (the movies), Disney films, etc. =P I think the only fantasy I've ever read is the Mode series by Piers Anthony, which was a gift and which I liked enough. I've also read sci-fi but I didn't know that's considered fantasy. I used to read it a lot when I was a kid, not so interested in it now.

Good question. I have no idea. They may not be able to be broken like a horse, or they may not be able to endure long distances (especially while carrying extra weight) like a horse.

ColorStorm:
Also you may not be able to control their direction like you can a horse. I think it's easy with a horse because of their long face?

Give me a song you can't stand. I go with "Star Casino - Stroll Around the World" It wants to destroy Lumines 2 for me. What is your pick, mate?

ColorStorm:
There's a lot of songs they play in the grocery store like 'Peaches & Herb - Reunited' that are, to me, soul-crushingly listless and distant, like spiritually being locked in a sterile empty room for 500 years. Being in the clean store full of neatly-arranged man-made objects and artificial coldness doesn't help. I dunno, I guess I'm weird that way. Then there are a few genres where I can't stand virtually every song in those genres, like rap, country, metal, hard rock, etc. Another one I could pick, though, is Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass.

It's the emotion for "kill it with fire." The funny thing is you can only hate parts of yourself, and you hate others through recognizing those aspects of them you hate within you. (Or maybe only sometimes that's the case, I'm not entirely sure.)

I can relate. It gets to the point I just have to express something almost like a compulsion to ease the anxiety. When it backfires and leads to more anxiety

What are your thoughts on vegan pet owners who have their pets follow their lifestyle choice?

ColorStorm:
It's ethical for the animals who would otherwise go into their food, but I don't think it's as healthy for the pets. All in all I'd say it's better for the pets to be slightly less healthy than to put factory animals through that miserable sh*t. Though another option is to buy dog/cat food made from animals raised on the field, not injected with hormones, etc. It seems there's a trade-off here: ethical, healthy, inexpensive: pick any two.

Wieselmann:
What do you think about Kants categorical imperative?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what the three formulations are that other people are talking about, and I don't want to look it up.. I just know the categorical imperative as the idea that, whatever would be best if everyone did it, that's what you should do. And it obviously only holds true *some* of the time, so it's not a very good imperative. I.e., there are some kinds of things that, if all of society did it it would be great, whereas if only one person does it, it doesn't help at all, or might even be deleterious. I guess if *everyone* followed the categorical imperative, it would work out fine (because whatever would be best if everyone did it, everyone *would* do that), but everyone doesn't, and all the individual has control over is his/her own actions, not the actions of everybody, so it doesn't always make sense to act as if you're everybody.

They have the right to do that, of course, and I can see how some women would want to make a statement against the expectations of (an incidentally patriarchal) society, but I have the right to think it's gross and that body hair is inherently unattractive/base/animalistic/primitive. The human form is imperfect; a little bit of grooming makes us more palatable and makes us look more like the angels we were meant to be. (Yes I have body hair, yes I think it's disgusting, no I don't shave it because in the context of contemporary society that would be gay AF. :P)

"One World Trade Center Lit Up Pink to Celebrate New York Passing Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth" Evil, necessary evil, good and the right thing or something else? What is your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Aborting a fetus that's close to birth is essentially not very different from killing a newborn baby. It's evil. Abortion is already a depraved thing to do, they're just taking it to the highest level. https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2017/02/11/why-im-not-pro-choice-even-as-a-non-religious-democrat/ Just shows how primitive society really is that the *progressive* side is the one pushing to allow women to kill their own unborn children.

Wieselmann:
If you either had to be on a vegan diet or the paleo diet for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

ColorStorm:
Paleo, I think it's more natural / suited to the human body (given that it's what we evolved on), and veganism is too strict for me, and you have to be careful with getting enough of certain nutrients. On the other hand, I saw an article the other day where someone was arguing against the paleo diet and pointed out that prehistoric people only lived to be about 30 years old. I doubt that's really due to their diet, though. Most Americans eat much worse and live much longer anyway. Also, one reason I might want to pick vegan is because eating animals and animal products is unethical because of the living conditions of those animals.

You're forced to stay at a dinner party with 3 others: 1 obsessed with talking about politics, another about religion and the last one a snobby vegan. Who do you spend the most time talking to, and why?

ColorStorm:
Definitely the snobby vegan. The politics one I'm bound to disagree with on some things and that would irritate me. And if I spoke my truth it would irritate him/her. The religion one I'm bound to disagree with on *everything*, so same only more so. Vegans, otoh, are the salt of the earth and they have the right to be snobby. ;)

[2019-09-22]

Andy:
What do you think is the most fitting punishment (if any) for false-rape accusers?

ColorStorm:
Well, that's a tricky situation. If you punish false rape accusers, then they'll be dissuaded from admitting it was false rape and the accused will continue to rot in jail.. so that's why they don't punish them. I guess it also intimidates women from telling when they actually were raped, which they're intimidated enough from doing already. But if those factors didn't matter and we were going to punish them for some reason, I'd say... rape!! no j/k =( i dunno. Prison time, of course.

Andy:
At least in the UK it must be past a reasonable doubt to issue a sentence - how much prison time do you think is appropriate?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea, no strong feelings on that. Maybe 2-5 years? That's probably a little harsher than what the courts would go for though.

Also I don't really care if someone sees me, so what? And I'm not very concerned over security measures in general (except that on my new computers I decided not to run any pirated software), so I don't bother to tape it. Is it paranoia or a legit concern? I dunno, I feel it's somewhere in between.

Tell us a movie quote that you like

ColorStorm:
Here's one I like to use when people confuse justice with retaliation. From Batman Begins - Rachel Dawes: The DA couldn't understand why Judge Faden insisted on making the hearing public. Falcone paid him off to get Chill out in the open. - Bruce Wayne: Maybe I should be thanking them. - Rachel Dawes: You don't mean that. - Bruce Wayne: What if I do Rachel? My parents deserved justice. - Rachel Dawes: You're not talking about justice. You're talking about revenge. - Bruce Wayne: Sometimes they're the same. - Rachel Dawes: No, they're never the same, Bruce. Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better. Which is why we have an impartial system.

No, having sex with an old lady would be way too traumatic.

Does objective morality exist?

ColorStorm:
I don't believe in an objective morality, per se, but I don't believe that morality is merely arbitrary groupthink or completely relative either. I think morality, at its best, is a set of values or principles based ultimately on compassion, empathy, love, harmony, etc. At its worst it can also be based ultimately on condemnation, hatred, etc. How these elements unfold into particular moral precepts depends on the culture and its path/history, which is what accounts for its variability, but is also what accounts for the common threads you see in morality across all cultures.

What kind of meat do you eat most of the time?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, probably beef. It's not by choice, I don't want to eat red meat, but my dad cooks and it's too convenient just to eat what he cooks instead of trying to get something on my own. And he cooks a lot of beef. And pork. And steak. And stuff like that. It's not very healthy, but at least he usually cooks vegetables with it. I can't really blame him totally, I end up getting cheeseburgers and stuff like that when I'm out at fast good restaurants, because their options are so limited, though it's still my own choice. Ideally I wouldn't eat any meat - not even white meat, because of the terrible conditions they raise chickens, turkey, etc. in. But I'm evidently a low-life who employs the old "out of sight, out of mind" principle.

Inspired by Sean. Can anyone be themselves and express their thoughts without being disrespectful or nasty to others?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. According to slag's answer she can, so maybe some people can and some people can't. I don't think it's a mental disorder to want to be disrespectful or nasty to people sometimes, even if it's not ideal.. humanity is far from ideal. At the very least, for just about anyone not withholding some of their thoughts and emotions would probably offend some people and cause them to lose friends, and I think there's a thin/tenuous line between offending someone and being disrespectful.

DUST:
I think she meant like you being nasty or disrespectful by default if you know what I mean. Like you need to be like that to express yourself. Ofc we all

DUST:
Can get nasty or disrespectful at some point of our lives bc you can't always control your temper. I can't, at least. And the easy things to do when you're

I'm very curious and I read a lot of information in a day, but textbooks and academic papers are a little too dry and technical for my taste. I've read a few academic papers. More often than not the only thing available is the abstract so I've read a lot more of those.

I used to have probably about 2-3 thoughts per second (one tails into another, but I think it's clear enough where one ends and another begins in most cases, there's like a cognitive shift), but lately my mind's been more blank and hazy. Maybe like a thought every second or two, give or take depending on my mood, what I'm doing or focusing on, etc.

One of my colleagues said that its possible for everyone to learn to sing well. I think thats bullshit. What do you think?

ColorStorm:
I don't know a lot about it, but based on what little I've heard and remember, I actually think most people (if not virtually everyone) can learn to sing well if they take classes or whatever and put enough effort into it. Well, not necessarily *amazingly* well like someone on America's Got Talent, but good enough on a technical level. Singing amazingly well may be an art, like composing, but I think that being able to stay on key and have decent timing is more of a skill, and skills can generally be learned.

What are your thoughts on the expression to be 'out of someones league' when it comes to sexual/romantic interests?

ColorStorm:
Well, it reinforces the idea that people date others for their looks or status rather than love itself. But I guess it's generally true: you never see a beautiful girl with an ugly/fat guy unless he's rich. But the reverse you often see (a relatively handsome guy with a fat girl), but that's just because girls get an automatic +5 points just for being girls, and also because most of them are fat nowadays. And 'out of your league' is usually used in the context of a guy desiring a girl rather than vice versa. But still, I think it's crude and lacks awareness to reinforce the shallowness/selfishness of dating by codifying it into the language. The only other thing I think is.. it doesn't make a lot of sense, because it's not like people are separated into distinct groups or 'leagues', there's just a continuum of looks/status/whatever from worst to best, and also with a lot of leeway for the subjectivity of impressions. But making logical sense isn't exactly to be expected I guess. =p

I use Instagram like once a month, though twice in the last week and I made a resolve to check it every day or so for new pics on my feed, which aren't many because I don't follow that many people. I've never posted a pic on Instagram.

Andy:
In what way might you be intimidating to others?

ColorStorm:
I'm very serious, intensely focused, matter-of-fact, and naturally powerful. Also sometimes I take issue with things people say / argue with them over perceptual / philosophical matters, though not much anymore because you can never change anyone's mind anyway and because I often have trouble explaining why I think the way I do which is frustrating, and because I don't like the confrontation or getting on people's bad sides. I also correct grammar now and then, or at least I used to, I don't anymore because people seem to be almost universally averse to learning about their mistakes and improving their grammar.

Your local government has decided that once a year, everyone is required to use a wheelchair or face a fine of $250 (doubling every year you skip). It's done to promote empathy and to test the infrastructure. What would you do?

..use a wheelchair once a year and hope the bad luck doesn't catch up with me =P You don't really have much of a choice but to do it, in ten years you'd owe $256,000.

Andy:
If you protest it for 10 years straight, they might change their ways too... besides - I imagine they couldn't police the fines very well.

Would you be more or less likely to date/marry someone who has had many sexual partners in their life? Why or why not? Or does it not matter? (also feel free to define what "many" is to you)

ColorStorm:
It probably wouldn't affect my likelihood - beggars can't be choosers - but the concern wouldn't be so much for moral reasons (I couldn't care less about that - I'm glad she had fun) but simply the risk of STD's. If she had a lot of partners I'd probably always use a condom. Unless she can present a medical document stating she's negative for like every imaginable STD. I'm not sure how many 'many' is, how about 15?

Also it would be extremely useful toward trying to rise out of my many personality disorders to witness and interact with myself from the third person.

Nobody knows, but there's speculation. Same with hiccups. IIRC they think yawning is supposed to get extra oxygen into your body or something. Seems like a weak explanation to me.

ColorStorm:
Both tbh. This world is terribly broken in a million ways, but most of my problem is me. But it was life, again, that screwed me up so much to begin with when I was young. I think there would be a lot less strife and drama in life if people looked inward more and tried to improve themselves. The drama is unnecessary. We need to look at why we're offended or hurt by others and what/why we demand from others to become more at peace with ourselves and stop attacking others just as they sometimes attack us.

Spudella:
Yup such is my challenge lately. What's odd is while I desperately want to retaliate against the most hurtful, its not as automatic as before.

What was the most extreme thing you have done?

ColorStorm:
Hard to say, there are a few contenders. Most people, from an outside perspective, would probably say it was the time i engaged in domestic violence and got tasered by the police. But I'd say it was attempting to work as a city carrier for USPS. Other contenders are driving to Michigan, walking up to my crush talking to her friends and telling her I loved her in 4th grade, flying back from Norway to the US on my own, attempting to work at a few other jobs like Publix for example, or maybe the entire few weeks leading up to and during being admitted to the psychiatric ward for the first time. That probably *would* be the most extreme, except I feel like it wasn't anything I'd done on my own, just stuff that happened to me and my reactions to it.

Spudella:
It's fucking delusional to think u can magic away your bad circumstances. The onus is on society to care. Not to coerce.

I think that in many cases homelessness is a consequence of mental health. They can't fit into the workforce because of their

mental issues and they can't get welfare for whatever reason so they end up homeless.

Of course, I'm not using this to justify homelessness.

What's your least favorite "ism" and why?

ColorStorm:
There are a few that I really don't like, but I can't think of them all right now. I'll just say transhumanism. Oh, wait, maybe libertarianism. Transhumanism because nature and our natural bodies are sacred, holy, living, holistic things. When you augment them with non-living mechanical crap the people are less *living*, but it happens in degrees and in subtle ways so you wouldn't necessarily know it. Likewise with augmenting ourselves in digital ways--the digital world is like the purely analytical, which has its purposes but exists in abundant imbalance as it is. The ultimate in transhumanism is the very silly idea that we can "upload our consciousness" to machines, as if our very being were an algorithm. That's impossible. Now for libertarianism, I wrote briefly why I don't like it here: https://twitter.com/iyaelsorai/status/1211840055620362240 Other isms I don't like are Republicanism, nihilism, existentialism (sort of), religionism, atheism (because it's a general worldview that rejects all things spiritual, not just God; no offense, we can agree to disagree:)), I think there are some others.

ZouBisouBisou:
Libertarianism should really be called neofudalism. Whenever someone describes themselves as such I stop taking them seriously.

But all the movies I have (which are four at most, and I have no idea where they are) are movies I've seen before and I don't watch movies more than once (unless it happens to be on and I'm bored and I don't remember any of it).

ColorStorm:
It's an interesting question, which I've thought about myself before. I guess we just allow ourselves to become immersed. The knowledge that it's not real takes a back seat in the consciousness, unless and until there's a big flaw in it that just "takes you out of the movie". I guess our emotional strings are affected more directly by sight and sound than our analytical processes. We would actually have to go out of our way to remind ourselves that it's not real.

ColorStorm:
*pretends the sarcasm doesn't exist* I'm probably about 9 in some way, I suspect that's why I'm so bad at trying to work. I never got a chance to progress because I was too shy and afraid of people and caught up in what I wanted. But only in some ways, in other ways I'm probably 100. Roughly: emotionally, socially or psychologically i'm 9, and intellectually and philosophically and in some experiential ways I'm 100 or more, but that's only roughly; core psyche and intellect are interconnected of course, and there are probably better ways to delineate it that just don't go into words.

When I was younger people always said I looked like Jesus, but stoned (since I always had my eyes half shut). One celebrity I really resonate with is Johnny Depp. As for people in the family, I have a lot in common in my personality with my mom. Too much for comfort, in fact, so I try to distance myself from her sometimes. Not by not talking to her, but by not acknowledging that I understand what she's thinking sometimes.

Well, that depends. On the 667th day, am I still reliving the same day over and over, or is it .. over? Because if I am, then obviously I'd eat the same thing for breakfast I ate today. Otherwise.. hard to say. I'm not sure what I'd feel like after 666 days of being sick and tired of this day. Although, on the other hand, if I relived it exactly then I'd have no idea I'm reliving it, because everything would be the same including my memories and attitude about today. Either way, I find this kind of an odd question and I don't know how to answer it except just to answer with my favorite breakfast food or what I'd like to have right now.

I think a lot of politicians (or at least some politicians) tend to look good because they have to appeal to the masses to be successful and the masses are influenced by physical appearance. I guess most of them are ugly though. I don't think they're necessarily boring. Again, appeal to the masses. Even if they are generally ugly and boring though, that doesn't mean I wouldn't take a sexy politician seriously. There are exceptions to a lot of things, and it's possible to be both sexy and good and interesting.

ColorStorm:
From Batman Begins: """ Rachel Dawes: The DA couldn't understand why Judge Faden insisted on making the hearing public. Falcone paid him off to get Chill out in the open. Bruce Wayne: Maybe I should be thanking them. Rachel Dawes: You don't mean that. Bruce Wayne: What if I do Rachel? My parents deserved justice. Rachel Dawes: You're not talking about justice. You're talking about revenge. Bruce Wayne: Sometimes they're the same. Rachel Dawes: No, they're never the same, Bruce. Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better. Which is why we have an impartial system. """ In short, justice is about harmony, but people use the term as a justification for their vindictive desires. Justice is not about revenge. One thing justice may be about is putting people in prison, but only because it protects society from them and acts as a deterrent, not because it punishes them per se. Or maybe that's not a part of justice, I don't know. What else might justice mean? Maybe justice is only present when there is no crime to begin with.

What is the best path to find truth; science, math, art, philosophy, or something else?

ColorStorm:
science - relatively objective per its methodology, but only uncovers empirical truths, which aren't particularly profound or fulfilling. I mean, okay, science can be fulfilling for some, but it doesn't answer any of the "big" questions. math - really neat and useful, but very very dry and analytical. in fact, wholly, 100% dry and analytical. and as for truth, it's arguably 100% tautology. Every discovery/proof/derivation in math is merely a kaleidoscopic reflection/semantical rearrangement of math's fundamental axioms. Math is purely logic, and logic is an input-output machine. You input an empirical observation, apply logical steps, and output a semantic rearrangement of that that appears as another truth. The legitimacy of the output relies on the legitimacy of the input. Logic alone is all tautology and isn't a source of truth that applies to the world. And math, being based on logic alone, doesn't include anything empirical, so it's not a source of truth. Yes, you can apply empirical input to math and get interesting results, but then you're not studying math per se anymore, you're studying a science. art - awesome, one of society's greatest assets. it doesn't make any explicit statements about truth, yet it reveals truth in dimensions that analytical thought can only dream of. because it's not a semantical type of truth that it reveals, it's not subject to erroneous opinion.. the truth about life, nature and everything, or some aspect thereof, just can't help but leak out through the creativity of the artist. Artist's may have intentions as to what they want to convey, yes, but those intentions can't be "false"; they're just impressions and any quality impression can be used to increase perspective. Art is necessary to society because its revealing is a way out of contemporary societal illusions that make us suffer, it's the path toward growth. Going back to its truth value, someone once said, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty, that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." philosophy - philosophy is very expansive, there are so many different thinkers to explore and so many different works by each thinker, and of course, so many different subjects about which they write. of course, you don't have to be a scholar to be a philosopher; you can simply think about deep, profound or universal questions/ideas deeply/methodically/tenaciously/analytically yourself. However, I find philosophy to be a world of endless speculation in the dark. Our minds, at least given the cultures we're raised in, aren't very suitable for arriving at truths about things that can't be seen/broken/empirically proven or disproven. We just don't have a clue, and our reasoned analysis and intuition about philosophical matters rarely lead us in the right direction. Analytic philosophy is all word games, and the truth of continental philosophy depends on the astuteness of the continental philosopher, his ability to "just know." The "something else " i would pick is spiritually. Philosophical types and scientific types wouldn't dare to accept the truths of spirituality because they're presented without argument, so in a sense, spiritually dares to have answers on profound questions where philosophy and science don't (philosophy because they're eternally questioning, and science because their answers aren't profound.) The answers of spirituality are beautiful and inspiring. I see the study of spirituality as the turning of one's mind toward the light. Of course, different spiritualists say different things (especially if you read the online tripe), but after enough reading you may start to piece things together and figure out how to separate the wheat from the chaff. So, in conclusion, i'd say either art or spirituality. Personally, art doesn't do much for me and I don't like most of it, so it's spirituality.

nachopee:
What are your criteria for wanting to be in a relationship with someone? (You may answer in terms of personality traits, box checkers like edu level/occupation/religion, and/or physical appearance.) How have those criteria changed for you over time?

ColorStorm:
Don't care about edu level, don't care about occupation, I prefer not religious but it's not an absolute deal-breaker, physical appearance is the main factor, I'd want to be with anyone who's cute as long as their personality doesn't totally grate on me and they're not basic or a bitch. But it's possible that I only think that until I'm actually with someone, maybe personality would become much more important in practice. I don't think it's so much that I only care about their body and not their personality, it's that everyone has the beautiful spark of life, and they're all human girls with the various charming qualities of humanity (albeit instantiated in their own unique way), and that means they're charming enough for me. Of course, if I have a crush on someone's personality, then personality takes on a lot more importance, and I'd probably be luckier to have her than just anybody whom I think is cute, but I rarely get crushes on people. How have they changed over time? I think when I was younger I had more of a propensity to get crushes on people (though looks were still a huge factor in whether I'd get that crush). I'd like to talk about personality traits i'm attracted to, but a) everyone's unique, more or less, and I don't know whom I'll like and how I'll like them until I see them, and b) I'm really bad at describing personality traits, my perception of them is way too abstract and substantial (and unique) for words. I guess one thing I can say is that I tend to like girls who are spiritually minded and/or whose heads are in the clouds, but that's by far not exclusive. I also like compassionate girls, for example girls who work with animals or nurses. Other reoccurring traits come to mind but I'd never be able to explain them.

What would you do if you get banned on retrospring-create a new account or stay away from this site?

Funny you ask, I was just asking myself that earlier this morning/last night. You *often* ask things that are relevant to things I've just been doing. Anyway, I'm not sure.. my first thought was "stay away" but I realized I'd miss retrospring too much so I'd probably make another account. Though it would still suck cuz I wouldn't have any followers and nobody would know who I am (I'd be afraid of making my identity obvious because I might get banned again).

Bangkok is a very strange name for a city really. If u break it down. Never been. Lol. What's your capital city actually mean? Dublin is from the Gaelic 'dubh linn' meaning Black pool. 🇮🇪

ColorStorm:
I've always thought Bangkok is a funny name for a city, yet it's also funny that nobody ever points it out, kinda like the name Gaylord as a surname. (also a city name.) But it's funny you mention this now, because just a few minutes to an hour ago I saw this: Confucious say man who walk through airport door sideways is going to bangkok. My capital city (for the state) is Tallahassee, no idea what that means, lemme look it up place in Florida, U.S.A., 1799, originally Seminole Tallahassee, from Muskogee /talaha:ssi/, name of a tribal town, perhaps from /(i)talwa/ "tribal town" + /ahassi/ "old, rancid."

Oh God an old rancid town 😂. Its a nice sounding name though. And lol about what Confucius said 😂

I wouldn't know. I've been too busy slowly realizing how dumb people are to track down their progress in any objective way. Though it is true that dumb people tend to be poorer and poorer people tend to breed more. And also, I've noticed an increasing amount of degenerate grammar online, for example completely leaving out the "'s" in possessives which sounds retarded af. Also I've noticed an increasing preference for rap.

How comes you almost never ask questions on retrospring?

I don't know, I almost never feel inspired with a question. There are very few things I want to ask people, I won't ask something just to ask something, I have to be genuinely curious for some reason, and I'm not one to be interested in trivial details about people (well, I do always read all the new stuff on the timeline). I think in general I'm better at responding to things than creating a subject to talk about. Everything just bleeds together into one singularity and my mind is blank until prompted.

I guess some peopleike them, and that's fine. I don't like them (and they're insanely expensive). I'm just a purist, and also one thing I don't like about them is that for the curve to be equidistant from your eyes (which I'd think would be ideal) you'd have to be sitting a specific distance away from it, which you probably wouldn't be. I wouldn't want to have to be conscious of exactly how far I'm sitting from my monitor. (I know I wouldn't *have* to be, but I would be.)

What does it mean to have an emotional connection with someone?

ColorStorm:
It means you two communicate your emotions to each other (directly or indirectly) and probably have emotional investment in each other. It can also mean you two understand each other on a deep level. It can also mean you two just 'click' together well or are on the same wavelength, but I don't know if that's a necessary component; I think just having an emotional investment in each other is enough to satisfy that label.

If you go to a restaurant and have terrible service, is it ever OK not to tip?

ColorStorm:
IMO, yes. If they're rude or something then they don't deserve a tip, and not giving a tip can be their incentive not to be rude to customers. If they just mess up though, I think you should still tip. Just because they're bad at their job doesn't mean they didn't do some honest work or that they don't depend on your tips. And I think people should be forgiven for their honest mistakes. Also messing up a lot doesn't necessarily mean they're bad at their job either. They could be having a hectic day, etc.

Not that I often notice myself stressed out for no apparent reason, but I did last night and then willed myself to calm down and it worked. Oh, another thing I might do is play relaxing music. I find that chillout music (http;//di.fm/chilloutdreams in particular) is more effective than meditation music.

How common do you think familial abuse happens but flies under the radar? (e.g., sibling abuse can be written off as normal siblings fighting, or parents abusing the children)

Depends on what you mean by "flies under the radar." Do you mean social services doesn't get involved? If so, I think all the time. I hear all the time about people being abused by their parents (especially their dads or maybe more commonly their step dads, also especially by alcoholics) with no indication that social services ever found out. It seems pretty common.

Not only no social services, but it seems like many people experiencing the abuse don't recognize it as such. They may think it is just how their family is

What is causality?

ColorStorm:
It's when (or the fact that?) future events are restricted or determined (at least probabilistically) by antecedent events in accordance to a coherent set of principles.. maybe on a more abstract or logical level you could reduce it to counterfactuals.. "if this hadn't happened then this wouldn't have happened" As to the metaphysics of cause and effect, why there is such a relationship between events and how it's effected, I think nobody really knows. As Hume showed, the relationship between cause and effect is not a logical necessity, even though it may seem like one..

Have you ever been 'obsessed' with someone? In what ways do you think you were obsessed with them?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I've been obsessed. Not sure what you mean by "in what ways"...what are the options? I thought about them all the time, was desperate to be liked by them, wanted to be their b/f, etc. I was absolutely mind-blown by how awesome they were and how well I relate to their personality. The first person I was obsessed with, I wrote this about: Have you ever met the culmination of your dreams.. that one person who exactly meets, and exceeds, your greatest expectations for all the people you've ever met or imagined, combined? You'd never have even known there was a common thread, if you didn't witness it yourself. It's not even so much that they exceed your expectations, but that not in your wildest dreams had you ever thought that such a manifestation was actually possible on this Earth. It's like wishing you can fly but keeping both feet firmly on the ground, and then one day meeting yourself, flying. They're a perfect reflection of you, to the essence. They're everything you ever wanted to be, there before you. Like God himself has always been so unattainable, but yet this person is exactly One Step between God and your heart.. and somehow she thinks you get her closer to God? It could almost be just the latest crescendo of infatuation except.. you know that nobody else will ever compare to her. Nobody ever has and nobody ever will. She's exceptional somehow. She's Real. Other humans are sometimes real, yet by virtue of being merely humans, are not as real as she. It's amazing. Her eyes even appear suspiciously similar to yours.. and the only the question is, will she ever recognize you? The answer, my friend, is a piece of wax fallin` on a termite who's chokin` on the splinters. It's the Rube Goldberg machine where you're the mouse trapped in the end and it's The Devil who's always been at the beginning. All you have is an e-mail address, and she only respond once every 2 months.. Oh well, you conclude, there's always the afterlife.. *Has this ever happened to you?*

If you had to be stuck at one age forever, what age would you choose?

ColorStorm:
Idk, I could say 5 because people are happier at that age, or maybe 10, give or take, because I'd be more fully emotionally, intellectually an physically developed at that age. Or maybe 25 because it would suck to be too young to legally do anything important at 10, and also because if I were going to live forever I might try to give myself enough therapy to be able to be independent, and I think 25 is a nice peak age in life. Fully developed, but not getting old yet. I've read that in the afterlife people typically appear how they did when they were around 25.

What is the best way for a person to attain happiness?

ColorStorm:
I disagree with the "not caring" answer, I think that' the cop-out approach to life, it's corrupt and makes you less of a person. If not caring is the only way to be happy in this terrible world then being happy in this world is inappropriate. But I don't think it is.

Ever bite your tongue by accident? Blood and everything 😭. Such an odd looking organ the tongue. Wet probing muscular thing.

ColorStorm:
Yes, it's usually in my sleep. I don't know why. I just suddenly bite down hard on my tongue and it wakes me up instantly and makes me gasp because of the pain. Sometimes I can even remember the part where I start to bite down but there's no reason for it. I suspect it might be when my mind wanders to a dangerous place in the dream state (like where things make no sense whatsoever anymore) and some part of me wakes myself up to protect myself.

Spudella:
Yup I think I do it when there's some conflict in my mind. Some way of almost grounding oneself again.

Kinda painful tho lol

Is a societal consensus necessary for any new scientific methods to be into practice? (e.g., https://www.statnews.com/2018/12/17/crispr-shocker-genome-editing-scientist-he-jiankui/ )

ColorStorm:
Considering our technology is way ahead of our humanity or wisdom, it might not be a bad thing to have that kind of a check to prevent it from running away with us even faster. But not necessarily for *every* new method, I mean, some things are probably just trivial or harmless. But we'd have to have a way of determining which things need consensus and which don't. Like editing test tube babies' genes, for example. =P It's moot anyway though, because there are so many countries and they'll each do as they wish. Well, not totally moot, since the more countries allow it the more it'll be done and the faster the technology will advance, especially when the US does it.

My bet is it's something science doesn't understand or at least hasn't discovered yet. If it were just the steam, then you'd think any soup would do. And if it were just the chicken then a chicken sandwich should have the same effect. And if it were just the noodles then spaghetti should work too, etc. That's why I like Sean's answer. =P

Kate:
Earlier this evening we sat in a restaurant . A couple came in looking for seating and I offered them the other half of our table. But they preferred to sit in a corner . Would you sit with me at the same table or chose the table at the toilet entrance ?

ColorStorm:
Tough question. I think people are way too antisocial with each other so that they're afraid even to sit at the same table with strangers--for no reason. I often go to a food court when there's hardly any or no tables free and wish I could just sit at one that already has people, especially when they're at one end of the table and you could sit at the other end.. I mean that would just come naturally to me but I have to stop myself because I know better, that people probably don't find that acceptable. (I'm still not even really sure, I just take the safe side.) In a restaurant I imagine you'd be sitting a little closer to them, so it's hard to say if I'd comply.. I probably would though just not to be rude, and because I think people are too antisocial. Also in your case I definitely would because you're a pretty girl. :)

Would it be okay for you to never fall in love again?

ColorStorm:
Not sure I have the capacity to fall in love anymore. Though I do have a heart-lifting crush on someone I know on Twitter that's more real than anything I've felt for the past 15 or so years. So maybe. As for "again," I've never been in a requited-love relationship. Sure, some girls have loved me--maybe even girls I would have loved back--but I was already emotionally numb by then (after years of literally wanting nothing in life but a girlfriend as a kid). Also I'm not really a candidate for the opposite sex because I have a low social status--I live with my parents, don't drive or have a car, don't have a job, etc. So I'm probably going to have to tolerate never falling in love (as in mutually) in this life.

Wieselmann:
Does the tech world need more women? Why?

ColorStorm:
People tend to portray the imbalance between the sexes in STEM areas as being the result of a sexist society, but I'm not sure that's the case. I think men and women are fundamentally different (though political correctness would have people wishful-thinking that all differences are cultural), and men are just more naturally attracted to those fields than woman (obviously with a fair number of exceptions). I think people who push to make men's and women's involvement in STEM areas equal are being silly and fail to notice a very basic and obvious characteristic of human nature. Though *some* of the difference could be due to women being discouraged from pursuing those subjects so fighting against that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe more women *would* be in the tech world if they weren't discouraged, but I don't know how many. I just think it's silly when people assume the numbers should be equal.

Alizeh:
Is it more important to help yourself, help your family, help your society, or help the world?

ColorStorm:
I think in some sense we have to help ourselves before we help anyone else--otherwise we have little to give. Also it just seems right to me that first and foremost we be the stewards our own hearts, our own happiness, our own paths. IMHO, helping the world is better than helping your family and helping your society (because the latter two are like egocentrism but on group levels), unless the overall impact you can have on people in the world isn't any greater than if you just helped your family or your society. On the other hand, helping your family is probably also helping yourself... and also within one's family there's a kind of love and agreement that you all have each other's backs, and it's nice to belong to that and fair to reciprocate. Also on the other hand, regarding society, if you live in the US at least, helping your society can easily trickle down or outward to helping the world because the world tends to follow the US..

Wieselmann:
Whats bad about living in this modern world?

ColorStorm:
We're separated from nature, surrounded completely by artifice, and that makes us separated from ourselves / from the divine. We're also, at least in the Western world, and I have a feeling increasingly in the Eastern world, heavily left-brain-dominated, which means our minds are lost in an empty maze of analysis, material wants, etc. We're always looking for something to fulfill us, and, lacking the context for true spiritual fulfillment, we eat and buy sh*t instead. Due to all these unnatural substances we touch, breathe, drink and eat every day, cancer is a huge thing now. Like 1 in every 3 people get cancer at some point in their lives. And then there's wage slavery. People can't live on their own, providing for themselves; they can only stay alive by selling their labor to some asshole boss and being miserable for 8 hours a day. Probably another reason we don't feel truly fulfilled. And it's probably going to be even worse for this generation; this generation is probably going to be the one to see our unsustainable treatment of the environment catch up to us in big ways. There will be much suffering. Most of what's bad about this world isn't best answered wrt to the modernity of today's world, but rather its primitiveness.

Years ago I used to think up long deep, dramatic, stimulating, profound stories/conversations between lovers that probably would have been great as short stories, but I don't think that's in me anymore.

What is your overall opinion about chemotherapy to fight cancer?

ColorStorm:
It's a pretty blunt instrument (it basically attacks the cancer by killing *all* your cells), but I'm sure it does more good than harm overall or else they'd realize it doesn't and they wouldn't use it. Though I worry that sometimes it just makes a person's last days much worse in cases where it's hopeless. Or maybe they don't employ it when it's likely not going to work? Idk. But still, when it doesn't work then all it's done is make the person's last few months more of a hell. But I guess they consider it worth the shot.

Your opinion about organ donation?

ColorStorm:
Eerie, perhaps something that should never be.. or perhaps not. It seems to be based on a physicalist/functionalistic view of organs where they're simply gears in a machine that take on no emotional energy or personality, and I think this view is wrong.. maybe people would be weirded out if they knew just how intimate they're being with total strangers by accepting their organs, like giving up part of their own personality and taking on part of another's. On the other hand, maybe it's a harmless form of intimate sharing and maybe if it's eerie it's worth it to save lives.. on the other hand again, people are way too paranoid about death, too fearsome of it, too devastated by it, and will stop at nothing to prevent it, because they believe death is the cessation of existence..

Wieselmann:
What is the psychology and other factors contributing to anti-vax/vaccine hesitancy when we have this entire history/body of knowledge that shows vaccines reduce hospitalizations, preventable deaths, virus-associated cancers, etc..?

ColorStorm:
They also cause autism and a host of other issues. I know there are tons of studies saying they don't, but almost all of the agencies that carried out those studies stand to benefit from vaccine use, and we know that scientific results are routinely fudged to achieve desired results. A few decades ago, the developmental diseases ADD, ADHD, language delays, speech delays, tics, Tourette Syndrome, ASD, and autism; the auto-immune disorders Guillan-Barre, multiple sclerosis, juvenile diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis; and the anaphylactic diseases food allergies, rhinitis, asthma, and eczema all exploded in popularity. Congress then ordered the EPA to find out in what year the explosions of all those diseases started. The EPA found that they all soared in 1989. It so happens that in 1989 they changed the vaccine schedule, raised the levels of aluminum and mercury in vaccines by 300% to 500%, and went from 3 different vaccines to 72. If you were born before 1989, your chances of having a chronic illness are 12.8% according to the HHS. If you were born after 1989, your chances are 54%. There are thousands of parents who have come out and said their child got autism or maybe some other lifelong illness after getting vaccinated, and writing them all off as delusional would be cynical. I've also seen multiple doctors (one who used to be to totally blindly and arrogantly pro-vax) come out and say that they've noticed unvaccinated children tend to be a lot healthier than their vaccinated counterparts. There are plenty of other points in favor of the idea that vaccines cause autism and a slew of other diseases, but I don't remember them and I don't have access to my chat archives (fuck Google).

ColorStorm:
He's exactly what we need. He is a bit old, but that's not a problem because if he were the nominee he would probably choose a good (and younger) running mate/potential VP who would take his place if he dies while in office. Sure, maybe he's a bit idealistic, but it's better to have someone who at least has his heart in the right place and will at least *try* to get what's best for us than someone who's a puppet to billionaires and won't change a damn thing. And besides, who knows, maybe he'll understand the reality of what he's able to do and not do and navigate it effectively, compromise, etc. if he gets into office. It's not like he's new to politics after all. I can't tell you how frustrating it is that people are stupid enough to prefer Biden over him. It just shows that you can lead the masses to water, but..

I don't understand why people don't realize this, at least when they read it, for example by Kate or myself, and change their minds about it.

Qafka:
Is there a fact of the matter when it comes to ethics?

ColorStorm:
As far as I can tell, ethics is basically morality but analytically and systematically fleshed out, to be be consistent and to apply to very specific scenarios. So ethics, like morality, ultimately rests on values. And there's no objective way to say what values are "correct" or superior to other values. At best you can arrive at a set of values that most people agree on. Hopefully that set of values is conducive to happiness, freedom, and all those other good things that the system of morality or ethics applies to. You could say, then, that I'm sort of defining the best value to be "the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people," but then even utilitarianism has its issues. TBH, IMO while a lot of ethics has an obviously best solution, there are some areas that there is no objectively right answer to--or if there is a "wisest" answer, we don't necessarily know what it is based only on analysis. And that kind of problem seems to be the kind of ethical problem that gets the most attention.

How would you react if you find out that you are pregnant or that you got someone pregnant?

ColorStorm:
I'd be very surprised if I were pregnant considering I'm a cis male. If I got someone pregnant, I'd be happy. I think my golden DNA needs to be propagated, and also it's neat to create a new being that's the fusion of you and a girl you like. Of course, there's also the downside that life is cruel so it's cruel to bring a new person into the world (generally--some people are lucky), and it increases overpopulation, and the world is probably going to get a *lot* worse within one generation also because of the environmental crisis and not to mention the global rise of fascism. But if she already got pregnant, it is what it is, so I might as well take joy in it (I don't believe in abortion - https://myriachromat.wpcomstaging.com/2017/02/11/why-im-not-pro-choice-even-as-a-non-religious-democrat/ )

ChrisMartinez:
why does a pregnant celebrities insist on posing naked? " U DON'T GET IT CAUSE U R A MALE PIG!" U_U Full disclosure i've watched pregnant women porn, i have nothing against a pregnant woman's naked body, it's just WHY??

ColorStorm:
I guess you could see the pregnant female body as a beautiful thing. Not particularly sexy, but in a "this is nature" kinda way. Maybe they're so proud of carrying a baby that they want to show the world. Maybe it's a form of body positivity or pregnancy positivity. Maybe being proud of being pregnant, proud enough to want to show the world, is healthy for the baby. As to why it's more popular among celebrities--assuming that's the case--I wouldn't know. A lot of weird things are more popular among celebrities, like naming their kids really weird things. Celebrities do tend to look better than the average person, so their naked body even while pregnant should probably be more tolerable to the public. And of course they can expect a much wider audience for their pictures which makes it more worthwhile for them to post them. And not to mention paying for professional photos, which is also made easier due to their wealth.

Do people assume you're smart or stupid after first impressions?

ColorStorm:
I generally give the impression of being smart, at least online, at least in philosophical venues, though people can easily think I'm dumb just because they don't subscribe to my viewpoints. In real life I don't think people have an opinion one way or another because I don't talk enough. Well, my nieces' dad said I'm a genius, and everyone in my junior high class called me Albert Einstein, so there's something. I've also given impressions of being stupid in person once or twice because reasons.

IRL probably very few people have thought I'm smart because of first impressions, as opposed to impressions over time.

I got rid of them myself with Nix and Head and Shoulders because I didn't want to tell anyone because I had long hair and I didn't want them to cut it off. Actually I just stopped cutting my hair at that point, it wasn't until many years later that I started cutting my own hair.

arman:
What do you think about astrology?

ColorStorm:
It annoys me that academic and analytical types tend to dismiss astrology out-of-hand and sometimes ridicule it. I'm not saying one should just believe it for no reason, but the only way to legitimately judge whether there's something to it or not is to get into it, really study it and subjectively assess whether it describes reality better than mere chance. People just have this reflexive view on the universe that's totally mechanistic, lifeless and composed of 100% separate but interacting parts. It's very scientistic. People assume that astrology only seems to work because the descriptions are vague enough that they could apply to anybody or any time of year, but this is merely an assumption. The fact that vague statements can be used to fool people sometimes doesn't necessarily mean that's all astrology is, and again, the only way to really know is to look into it and approach it with an open mind. Just like we take it as an axiom without truly understanding it that objects can affect each other remotely per gravitation or magnetism, it could be simply taken as non-understood axiom that the relative positions of celestial objects can affect the characteristic of events and emotions here on Earth. It also annoys me when scientistics call astrology (and many other things) a pseudo-science. The prefix "pseudo" means that something purports to be something it's not. Astrology isn't purporting to be a science in the hard way that, say, physics or biology is. It's something different entirely, but that doesn't make. it invalid. It's based on thousands of years of observation and the synthesis and refinement of models that seem to correlate with those observations. I wrote more on the matter here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/#Astrology

Wieselmann:
You dont even have to consider that it makes no sense physically. It has been shown statistically that astrology has no predictive efficiency.

ColorStorm:
I've wondered if such studies were done. But I can't just take someone's word for it that it's been disproven, it depends on how the studies were done. Can

ColorStorm:
you give me the reference?

Wieselmann:
https://www.jstor.org/stable/24104554?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

ColorStorm:
Thanks, those are interesting. Well, the first just goes on about how astrology is impossible because it's magical thinking, and then briefly mentions a test in

ColorStorm:
which it's implied that there were positive results but they discounted those because they (supposedly) could be accounted for physically. But astrology

ColorStorm:
doesn't purport that its principles work independently of all physical causes. It could be that the physical causes are the means by which the correspondence

ColorStorm:
is fulfilled, or it could be that astrology is a fancy way of predicting natural causes. After all, if astrology can magically affect events directly, it's

ColorStorm:
equally likely that it could magically affect events that in turn affect other events.

ColorStorm:
The other one has more interesting tests, but as it says, they're limited. The most interesting test it talks about is cut-off midway in the abstract. It

ColorStorm:
doesn't even say what the result was. And it also says it allowed a 2.5 (something) variation from chance, and I don't know if that's a reasonable

ColorStorm:
amount given the sample size. It seems to imply that that value was picked just based on what the astrologers (who presumably aren't statisticians) claimed

ColorStorm:
should be their success rate. The main flawv in all the tests in the second article is that it presumes that the astrologers it chose for the test are

ColorStorm:
actually good at astrology.

ColorStorm:
Of course, in my original post I wasn't claiming that astrology is necessarily true, I was just expressing my annoyance at people who dismiss it on principle.

I think that tells you most of what you need to know about my dad. Well, at least his history / how I was brought up. He's better now, but still occasionally an asshole. I have to worry about every little thing I do in this house for fear of making a mistake that will make him yell at cuss at me. It was like that growing up too, but much worse, and it was also about trying not to doing anything that unpredictably annoyed him for the slightest reason that would set him off in a fit of rage and pure, vile nastiness. He does provide for us by paying all the bills, fixing everything that breaks, buying the groceries, cooking dinner, washing the ton of dishes every day, etc. He also bought each of my sisters a house.

I wanted to view a sub one time the other month that somebody said was about how people's body parts change when they travel abroad (his idea is that reality is actually a pastiche of consciously-created sub-realities), but he couldn't find the link. =/ I've spent some time on like a handful of reddit subs, but I don't remember which ones except for the red pill (which I think they've since removed). I'm not really a redpiller, I don't think it's extremely healthy, but I could relate to some of their frustrations. I've never noticed the "shit tests" they talk(ed) about, but I can easily imagine it being a real thing.

Have you ever slept through an earthquake? I've slept through most of the them near my area.

ColorStorm:
No, I've only been through one earthquake, and I didn't sleep through it, it woke me up. Though I was a kid then, and I still don't know whether it was a real earthquake or not. I thought for sure at first that somebody shook my bed on purpose, but my cousins (who were sleeping in the same room) swore it was an earthquake. So eventually, years later, I decided it probably really was an earthquake. I was in Fresno at the time where mini-earthquakes are apparently common, but on the other hand it shook widely from side to side and I didn't hear anything else in the house rattling. But on the other hand I think when I woke up and looked around my cousins weren't close to me but were in their beds. Don't remember whether they appeared to be asleep.

I have a piano genius among my facebook friends. At the age of 11 after 1 year of contact with a piano and without a teacher she was able to play insanely difficult works like the Tchaikovsky concerto etc. How can that be explained?

ColorStorm:
There are many factors that come together to determine the level of one's ability in any given endeavor. As with anything involving many factors, statistically a few people will happen to have a lot of those factors point in the same direction, such as the direction of being able to learn piano playing very proficiently. She just happens to be way on the right side of the bell curve. Her level of passion is probably a major one of those factors. General intelligence might be another. Ethnicity might be one; is she Asian? Dexterity might be a factor. Nutrition might be another one. Nurturing parental upbringing might be one. Or alternatively, overbearing parents who force her to practice 11 hours a day. A tutor could be a factor. Having peers who are interested in piano playing or classical music could be one. Skills she honed in past lives could be a factor. People/energies she resonates with/adopts and their associated abilities could be a factor. Etc. etc.

Here she plays some Mozart with fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QddlRGGXzf4

Do you find eating meat unethical?

ColorStorm:
It's obviously unethical. How can there even be a question about it? What's wrong with people? Haven't they seen the living conditions of factory-farmed animals? Though if the meat is organic/free-range/grass-fed/no antibiotics/no growth hormones/etc., then it's debatable whether it's unethical or not. Then you can make the excuse that humans are omnivores, or that animals eat each other throughout nature. But it's debatable at best. Because just because it happens ubiquitously in nature doesn't mean it's a good thing, and unlike other animals, we have a choice. And as far as us being omnivorous, we can get by just fine without eating meat, as long as we have a source of protein, iron, etc.

What's the "right" moment to put your pet to sleep for you?

ColorStorm:
If the cat still purrs when you pet it, then I don't believe in putting it to sleep because it means it can't be feeling too bad. I'm still on the fence as to whether animals should *ever* be put to sleep. Maybe any existence is better than no existence? Maybe if it really wanted to go it would have already died naturally? I guess, though, if it was like constantly screaming in agony and there was no hope for it then I wouldn't be on the fence about that.

nachopee:
a cat purring does not necessarily mean it is happy. it can also be a response to stress. you should not use purring as a litmus test for wellness like that

ColorStorm:
if it purrs as a response to you petting it, doesn't that mean it's not a response to stress?

ColorStorm:
i mentioned this wellness test to a friend of mine, and she said the same thing you did. i found it surprising that she didn't get the nuance that i meant

ColorStorm:
specifically if it purrs as a response to petting it.

ColorStorm:
(i chalked it up to her already having had been set on putting the cat to sleep, even though she asked about it)

nachopee:
1) it still doesn't necessarily mean they are not stressed or in pain and 2) it is still a narrow thing to base your entire cat's wellness on

ColorStorm:
yeah, i just figure that if they still have that response then the stress or pain can't be *too* bad. it's narrow, yes, but that's because it's hard to tell

ColorStorm:
how a cat is feeling, they're good at hiding their pain apparently, so I don't know how else I could know whether to put them down, other than asking the vet

ColorStorm:
for their advice

ZouBisouBisou:
Why do you think Democracy works better in some places than others? Is meritocracy more full-proof than mob rule?

ColorStorm:
I'm no expert in politics, but probably democracy works better in places with higher average education levels. My intuition is that, other than education levels, or maybe even despite them, the main factor determining whether democracy works in a given location is how well it can be *set up* effectively / transitioned from their current system in that location. So in other words the differences have more to do with the process of creating democracy (where anything can go wrong) and its results than differences that would apply if every location's democracy were somehow equal in construction. But I know very little about this stuff. I don't know what's better between meritocracy and mob rule, but I think the problem with meritocracy is how to ensure that the line of meritorious people appointing further meritorious people doesn't get corrupted somewhere along the way. Probably there are ways to set up the system that mitigate corruption, but the best ways would probably only delay the inevitable until further into the future. The problem with mob rule, on the other hand, is that the common person is too ignorant to make a lot of important decisions for the state. As was pointed out in one of the comment threads, we sort of have a meritocracy through mob rule in that it's not a direct democracy but rather a democratic republic, but on the other hand, the merit of the people appointed is only as good as the intellects of the people voting. And besides being relatively dumb and uneducated in how to run a country, the people are easily manipulated by politicians who will say anything just to gain power and will do anything for money, and also by the media which (in a capitalistic country) is sensationalistic and owned by the rich who have their own skewed political interests.

ZouBisouBisou:
I worked with a guy from the Philippines who said he preferred an authoritarian because his people were too ignorant for a direct democracy.

ZouBisouBisou:
"They don't know what's best for them". I sometimes feel that about Americans.

Do you think it's wrong for an instructor/professor to make a slight at creationism when teaching about evolution? (at the risk of alienating/offending students who do believe in creationism)

ColorStorm:
I don't think it's wrong, because by "a slight" I imagine you mean a relatively reasoned argument directly against it, which is fair. Creationism is ignorant, out-dated mythology, and anything that tries to bring people's minds around to more enlightened understanding can't hurt. If by "a slight" you mean an actual direct insult, I guess I agree with Sean: it's unprofessional. But I wouldn't actually feel too bad knowing it happened because I hate Christianity and it annoys me when people believe in that crap.

Who would you rather be: A person so rich, that you don't have to work for the rest of your life OR A person really in love with your job (making enough money for everything you need and most things you want)?

ColorStorm:
The former. Like others have said, I could still do what I love, I just wouldn't be obligated to. And I wouldn't want to work even at a job I love when I'm dependent on it because your place of employment doesn't give two shits about you and can be fired at any time. On top of the inherent risk of losing your source of livelihood, it's stress-inducing because you have to make sure you follow the rules, don't miss a day, come in on time every day, etc.

ColorStorm:

ColorStorm:
It's a transcendental number (meaning not expressible as a fraction of two integers), in this case it's the decimal expansion, but I think it's simpler and more direct to think of it in terms of a formula, such as https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/33ad11b6609d91487577949c7a42872afdc33a36 The value produced is the universal ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter (which maybe just as well could have been defined as the ratio of the circumference to the radius) in flat Euclidean space. It's one of the most significant numbers in mathematics. it's central to so many different kinds of calculations.

4001:
sorry for being a nerd, transcendental doesn't mean just irrational, you can't express 2root(2) as an int fraction but as an finite algebraic expr for instance.

What are the really small things that tell a lot about a person's psychology and personality?

ColorStorm:
How they treat waiters and waitresses.

ZouBisouBisou:
That's a tricky one, I used to think people who treated servers poorly were just spoiled or assholes, but sometimes they just worked service jobs themselves.

ZouBisouBisou:
At some point and think they inherently know the kind of service they're "entitled" to. I've known 3 people like this, none of whom are bad people.

WachalPharoh:
Are you more of a rational or intuitive decision maker? Why? Do you feel this has usually worked best for you?

ColorStorm:
the two aspects are always fighting. I tend to make a lot of decisions intuitively, but if there's an overwhelming logical reason I should do something else/not do something, I'll probably go with that. Sometimes I go with logic and end up kicking my own ass later over it.

WachalPharoh:
I find that many of us who act on intuition struggle to be rational as rationality takes more time to formulate a response, which creates more stress lol.

Do you believe that watching porn is harmful?

ColorStorm:
I think, like others have said, it's not *necessarily* harmful but watching too much or the "right" kind can be harmful. It can desensitize you to real sex, it can give you unrealistic expectations, etc. Some people get into a spiral where they have to watch harder and harder porn to get off. Just imagine how far away they come from being able to get off to real sex.

i haven't even checked in weeks because every time i check there's no new users. =P and probably no activity, the only activity i've ever gotten is new users. and i check the forums for new messages sometimes, nothing. maybe it's because my BBS has no door games. i thought i'd add some if people start visiting. actually, i wanted to just pay for Lunatix to add it, but the guy didn't respond to my email. =p there's a lot of telnet bbs's but i haven't seen one that's both web-based and MBBS/WorldGroup-based, which is why i wanted to set one up. i have a lot of fond memories of MBBS/WG bbs's.

It sounds like it was an honest mistake, idgaf if they US never hands her over.

Bored2018:
It was an accident, sure, but it still resulted in a death. UK will still punish you for that. The US will too.

If someone killed someone close to me because of an honest mistake, like they were from a foreign country and they drove on the wrong side of the road, I don't

I.e. I don't feel I'd need for them to be in jail

Yes.

Acute exhaustive psychosis.

ColorStorm:
My brain would get flooded with seratonin. I'd get aggressive, I'd have delusions, I'd feel spiritually awake, I'd feel either great or terribly fucked up

I'd do dangerous things, the psychosis would not lift

My mind would consume more energy than I had availiable

I've felt myself dying before, felt like I might even die a spiritual death

Very fucked up and would be tragic.

The only thing that gets me back to normal is anti-psychotic medicine

Why do people comment "first" in YouTube videos?

ColorStorm:
I think they're trying to show off that they were the first to comment. But it doesn't necessarily show the comments in order of time. And maybe also someone might think they were the first when they weren't because the other comments didn't propagate to his server yet.

Not necessarily, that's a little too optimistic. I prefer "Whatever doesn't kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms and a dark sense of humor." Besides, even when something makes you stronger, being strong wasn't your first choice, it's something you had to resort to. Everything has its downside.

How do you prefer to watch movies? (i.e. cuddling, alone, cinema, while on your phone etc.)

I'd *love* to cuddle and watch a movie, I've never done that. I think I'd be more happy about the cuddling than about watching the movie. =) Other than that though, I like to watch movies that are very graphics-oriented (like movies with lots of special effects) in the theater, all the rest at home on my computer. Not on my phone.

ZouBisouBisou:
Do you think it's fair that prospective employers look to your social media content as a means of determining your employability?

ColorStorm:
I don't like it because it's a little too overbearing/big-brotherish and it means we have to be very careful about what we say everywhere online. Maybe whether it's "fair" or not is a different matter, but either way I think I'd rather they didn't/couldn't do that. Also I think people shouldn't be fired/have their lives ruined for the ideologies they express online which have nothing to do with their capacities as an employee--even including ideologies I may disagree with or even find disgusting.

ColorStorm:
We live in a society where you have to work to live.. it's not "fair" to make it so that people with certain ideologies can't live.

ZouBisouBisou:
I don't get fedora libertarians who hate that stuff when the government does it, but they're perfectly fine with multinational corporations doing the same thing

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I feel that libertarians think they're being oppressed by the government so they prefer freedom for everyone and all corporations, but they're clueless

ColorStorm:
about how corporations are inherently evil and care only about the bottom dollar and will exploit people in any way they possible can. at least the government

ColorStorm:
isn't (principally) driven by the need to make as much money as possible at any cost

ColorStorm:
and somebody's gotta get things done - government or corporations. government is the lesser of the two evils.

Why do you think divorce rates are on the rise?

ColorStorm:
I see a lot of people answering this as if it's a bad thing that this is happening. It's disappointing to me that people don't think for themselves and just go along with traditionalist ideology. Marriage is based on the lie that you can be sure you'll be in love with someone for the rest of your life.. the heart doesn't work that way. Love doesn't work that way. Everything changes over time. So it's a good thing if people are getting more divorces. They're being truer to their hearts. If it seems infidelitous, it's merely insincerity matching insincerity (the insincerity of the idea of marriage). It's a healthy reaction to a false premise. Marriage is also a kind of contract whose purpose is to feel security by insuring that neither partner will leave the other--even if it would be the natural thing to do. And as soon as two people are bound to each other with this kind of security, the romance is killed. The spark is replaced by mere familiarity.

2/2 Love and respect eachother because it's the right thing to do, not out of fear of a vengeful god... How much better we would be?

ColorStorm:
It seems to me that people are mostly kind/moral to others or not irrespectively of their religion or lack of it. They'll act according to their natural disposition and rationalize/ignore whatever their religion has to say about their misdeeds, or they'll be a good and generous person with or without their religion. But yes, I think the world would be better off without religion and the toxic morality/guilt/condemnation/sexual repression/out-dated belief systems/etc. that come with it.

Do you regularly listen to the radio?

ColorStorm:
I listen to it often when I'm in the car. I only have two stations I'm willing to listen to (I'm very picky about music), both are by local universities and play indie music. There's a third, which is jazz, but I only listen to it sometimes (when the other two are both playing crap or when I feel like sh*t and need it to take the edge off), since I'm wary of jazz.. I don't think it's healthy, at least not for me. I also listen to online "radio stations" if those count, sometimes 24/7. I'm listening to one right now. I pretty much only listen to di.fm and for the past few weeks it's pretty much only been the "deeptech" station. I pay I think $10 for di.fm and for some reason they let me play it simultaneously on both computers. xD

How would your parents react if you told them you were gay?

ColorStorm:
I don't know how my dad would react, he's never said anything about gay people. My mom thinks being gay is a sin and that it's weird, but she might basically accept it. She says we're all sinners. She might question me how I'm sure I'm gay or why I suddenly decided I'm gay at 41 or try a little bit to convince me that I'm not. My dad would also probably think it's strange that I'd come out as gay so late in my life, especially since I've had girlfriends and have never expressed interest in guys.

Wasserpistole:
But something like that is possible. I even knew some guy who had a wife and two children and then went gay mode 100%.

French Vanilla perfume is my only favorite smell that I can identify. There's another smell that's kind of similar to it but better. Something about it strangely makes me instantly high. I've only smelled it 2 or 3 times. I have no idea what it is. And one time I was out walking around my neighborhood and I smelled something I thought of as dirt-associated, no idea what it was, couldn't find the source, I imagined it was something somebody put in the dirt for their plants, and it was one of the 2 or 3 best smells I've ever smelled.

My soul is dying as it is and it's only gonna get worse in the future after my parents die and I have to spend all my time alone or with strangers.

Is not helping someone to survive, although you know for sure that you could, nearly as bad as killing someone?

Philosophically/analytically I want to say yes, but then I wouldn't feel nearly as guilty if I let someone I disliked die as I would if I'd killed them, and I wouldn't expect/think it's fair to receive nearly the same punishment if any. I guess on an emotional/spiritual/karmic/whatever level not helping someone to survive and killing someone are very different things, even if they seem functionally the same.

Wieselmann:
What is a mathematical function that you like a lot?

ColorStorm:
I forget what it's called, but there's a mathematical function for computing factorials over the real numbers. It was discovered through analytical continuation. I implemented it in Python once. Another one would be the basic function that defines the Julia set, or perhaps the Mandelblob. There's also a function (I think recursive?) that explodes into extremely large numbers extremely fast, which is pretty cool, but I don't remember what it's called or what the formula is.

4001:
the first might be the gamma function, the third one might either be the Ackermann function or maybe even TREE

ColorStorm:
Gamma sounds familiar. IIRC it was actually two functions, one called the other. I've heard of TREE, it's not that, may have been Ackermann

ColorStorm:
I looked up Ackermann, I think it was that one, but maybe TREE should be my favorite?

[Inspired by the BBC TV program "The Big Questions"] Do you think Abrahamic religions are unfair to women? If so, why do you think there are lots of women following and practicing these religions?

ColorStorm:
Islam is definitely unfair to women. Christianity maybe a little, but not really in practice unlike Islam. Judaism is probably about equal to Christianity in that respect. For any of those religions, the answer to why women (and, for the large part, anyone else) follows them is because they were indoctrinated to since they were kids. What gets deeply ingrained when you're a kid, you never shake.

Is it important to you if other people see you as a smart person?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, but if they don't, I have to wonder whose fault that is--theirs, or mine? I know I'm pretty sharp & bright, but it doesn't always come across for a couple of reasons. One, I don't say everything I'm thinking because I feel like it's not worth the effort to wade through it and it would just appear plodding to others, but then other people say the things I didn't say and they look intelligent and I'm like, "damn! I should have mentioned that too." Two, I'm not an expert in any particular subject, for a few reasons.. 1. I'm way too lazy for that because I'm miserable, 2. As Einstein said(?), "I want to know the mind of God, the rest is just details", and 3. I have a *terrible* memory so even when I do study something I don't remember most of it a month later. Also, I think my genius really comes out in philosophical questions, and there aren't a lot of those here.

ColorStorm:
It could be that i was for index and then for further variables they just went down the alphabet, but that doesn't explain why they're used for complex numbers

ColorStorm:
and quaternions.

Wieselmann:
i stands for the imaginary unit at complex numbers

Is the amount of good questions limited?

ColorStorm:
Yes, there's only so much information that's deeply pertinent to our lives, our interests, etc., because the complexity or breadth of those things (at least as far as we conceptualize them) is limited. I think you can ask an unlimited amount of questions, because there's no end to how obscure and detailed information can be or its contexts, but when it comes to *good* questions they're limited. I'm sure there are thousands of good questions, though, if you take all areas of interest and application that impact someone in some way.

Yes, you can tell by seeing the affection they give, and other things like this video I saw where the cat's owner had a life-threatening situation and called 911 and the cat led the ambulance to the house (which is rare for a cat, yes). The thing is I think cats' capacity to love humans in an *individual* way is low. Like they just love whatever human is next to them at the moment, more or less, unlike, say, dogs.

ColorStorm:
Of course not, humans lived and evolved for a million years without celebrating birthdays, so the only reason not celebrating them now might be harmful is that the child knows that it's a normal thing in society and since he doesn't get it thinks his parents must not love him.. but at those ages the child knows fuckall about birthdays, so it doesn't matter.

"Don't complain. Be grateful." Do you agree with this inspirational message?

ColorStorm:
No, it's just another meme. Most inspirational memes aren't particularly wise, they just arise/become popular for various psychological reasons. They're a lot like candy. In this case it simply comes from the fact that people don't like to hear others complain. But there are plenty of things, especially injustices, also plain inefficiencies, oversights, etc., that should be changed for the better, and people complaining is one way they get changed. Also people may want to complain just to vent, which is fine. Not all of life is things to be grateful for IMO, and if there's anybody who's grateful for everything it's limited to saints and sages..

4001:
Here's a loaded question: Is the right to aquire a weapon as natural of a right than bodily rights such as abortion?

ColorStorm:
No, obviously not; a gun isn't a part of your body, and what's natural about it? It takes a whole technologized civilization to make a gun. It's an unnecessary evil, a tool made exclusively for killing your fellow humans. If murder is illegal then it's almost by extension that guns are made illegal in the case that they are. You did say a "weapon," though, and a weapon can be anything from a gun to a hard stick (the fact that the "loaded" pun and the use of the word "acquire" allude to guns notwithstanding). So, should we have the right to acquire sticks? Acquiring and using a stick (or something else low on the spectrum between the most basic and natural to the most sophisticated and unnatural) is certainly natural, but there are probably plenty of completely natural things that are banned in "civilized" society, such as having sex in public, not wearing clothes in public, or eating psychedelic mushrooms, to name just a few. So if you allow something on the basis that it's "natural" then, to be consistent, you'd have to change a *lot* of things about society, things that the average person would not put up with. (Of course, it so happens that we're allowed to have sticks, just not everywhere, such as on a plane or in the White House. :P) I guess it's somewhat of a leap for me to go from the term "natural right" to talking about objects and activities that are natural as opposed to artificial. "Natural right" could have some specific philosophical meaning that's relatively unrelated to how natural vs. artificial something is. It could mean simply a right that anybody has/should have by virtue of being a human being, using some specific justification for that idea. In that case, I would argue that there's no such thing as a natural right. There's only cause and effect and people doing what they want to and with each other, and we have whatever "rights" and protections the society we live in happens to legislate (or otherwise effectuate, such as in a tribal society). Basically if there were a "natural right" then we wouldn't have to enforce or uphold it because nature would enforce or uphold it. As for abortion being a bodily right, I think that's debatable. When you're pregnant, it's not necessarily a part of your own body that's in there. It's the body of another human being who's temporarily using yours to develop.

4001:
You can aquire a weapon by many means, for a thing to become an effective as a weapon knowledge must be involved.

4001:
Be it hand-to-hand, studying the blade while you're out socializing, building a bomb, cutting break lines or pulling a killdozer.

4001:
Natural right was in that regard, excercising your knowledge. Picking up dad shotgun and going down wallmart for a family pack of 12gauge for a school isn't.

What's your onion on the term "daddy issues"?

ColorStorm:
Not much of an opinion, like Nick says most people have mommy and/or daddy issues. Girls tend to connect with their daddies more, boys tend to connect with their mommies more, so I guess if a girl has parental issues they're more likely to be daddy issues. Also because dads tend to be worse parents than moms. Or, at least, the girl's issues with her father are more relevant than her issues with her mother in the context in which the issue of "daddy issues" is often raised, which is the way in which she relates to guys in general, particularly suitors. The one thing I don't like about the term "daddy issues" is that guys often use the term disrespectfully, they objectify and genericize the girl's issues, probably reducing it to its utility to them and their desire to have sex with her or not to be her boyfriend.. reminds me of the time I heard a guy I knew describe a girl I knew as "damaged goods", I found that horrible.

If a vaccine was present for COVID 19, what should happen to those who refuse to take it?

ColorStorm:
Nothing. Having something injected into one's body is *way* too intrusive a thing to make it legally mandatory. And that's before we consider the actual dangers of vaccines the way they're developed now. I would be *pissed* if they tried to force me to take a vaccine, and sad because I wouldn't know what might happen to me. In some nearby parallel realities I might even kill (or try to kill) people over it and end up dying in the name of freedom.

Is it better to try to seperate trash but doing mistakes 20% of the time than not seperating the trash at all?

ColorStorm:
I don't know anything about separating trash, we don't do that here. Unless you mean separate into trash and recycling, in which case it *might* be better not to recycle anything than to put a bunch of trash into the recycling (doing mistakes 20% of the time can mean different things, like only accidentally putting recycling into the trash, which would be better than not separating at all), because you could contaminate volumes of recycling that are bigger than your own.. that's the theory anyway, but I have no idea how bad it actually is to get the wrong stuff into the recycling. And I suspect people do it *all the time* because of poor understanding of what's recyclable vs. what's not (which isn't necessarily their fault, it's complicated and the government doesn't explain it very well).

It's really hard to predict that far into the future. I think it'll be longer than 100 years before people's morality and sense of a healthy diet change on their own, but the environmental crisis could come to a crescendo and we could be forced to drastically change our lifestyle, including eating meat because it's inefficient to produce, or in the case of seafood quit eating it because overfishing destroys wilderness.

Besides bottled water, what else is a big waste of money in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Sofas, bed frames, some things the 1% (or .1%?) buy like yachts, mansions and Bugattis.

ZouBisouBisou:
What's wrong with sofas or bedframes?

ColorStorm:
They're just way too expensive for what they do. Something you sit on, $2000? A box you put your bed on, the same price as the mattress?

ZouBisouBisou:
There's a reason for that. Not enough people buy them regularly (on average people buy a new mattress every 8-10 years), so the markup represents that time lost

ZouBisouBisou:
But there are alternatives. Hotels sell beds and sometimes furniture since they're required to replace theirs. Or third party vendors that make bedframes out of

Andy:
If you were to take a long hard look at yourself (appearance, social standing, personality etc.) How would you rate yourself out of 10? (and why did you give yourself that score?)

ColorStorm:
It seems illogical to me to combine those three things into one rating, because social standing is incidental (based on the predilections of the fickle masses, how much of a socialite one is, etc.) and doesn't depend on character/personality which is much more important. Appearance is also incidental in comparison to character, even if it's important in its own way. So I'll rate those three things separately: Appearance: 7, social standing: 0, personality: hmm.... hard to say. Somewhere between 5 and 8.

Wieselmann:
Are you someone who tries to have good justifications for his beliefs or do you believe in something, because it *feels* right to you?

ColorStorm:
I want to believe in The Truth™ and nothing else, so that implies a lot of reasoning, analysis, skepticism (true, unbiased skepticism, not the denialism that usually passes for skepticism), etc., but feelings matter a lot too. I don't think of this as an error or shortcoming. Feelings are a valid/legitimate part of determining truth. But, of course, it depends on what *kind* of feeling it is, or maybe on something else contextual, such as the likely source of the feeling (whether it's some kind of bias, wishful thinking, intuition, a connection to the cosmos, something heart-based, etc.). Going against your heart or basically not *trusting* yourself in the name of being bias-free is a scary, corrupt disease. It's the machine in the ghost. Also I like what tit and Sean said (basically the same thing).

I came across a tweet that said: "There are some elements of sexism in women's sports uniforms. The mindset behind their design is like 'Women's sports are not worth watching so let's make them look sexy. Then it's worth watching!'" Whaddya think?

ColorStorm:
It doesn't necessarily have to mean that women's sports aren't worth watching. Sexy uniforms would make them more appealing whether they were worth watching already or not. And if people found women's sports not worth watching, would that necessarily be sexist? What if men are generally better at sports than women? Or what if people prefer to see big, burly bodies playing sports? Wouldn't that be completely fair? Or what if more men like sports than women, and they'd just rather watch other men play them because they relate to them more / they're in-group? And I don't think the other side of it, preferring to see women in sexy clothing, is sexist either. It's just the way men are built. We love women, and sexually we're very visually oriented. Also the people who choose to put them in sexy clothes are probably corporations, and the decision would probably have been made for the sole purpose of making more money, though of course that alone doesn't make it impossible that sexism would be involved--it would just be solely on the part of the viewer whose biases trickle up to corporate decisions.

ColorStorm:
Of course, this is all ignoring the possibility that the uniforms are sexy (e.g. skin-tight, like Sean said) for purely practical reasons.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying. I think it would be utterly terrifying and not to mention probably painful. I believe there's an afterlife, but I wouldn't be afraid of death either way because there's nothing left to me to lose (or so it seems, anyway). I am actually afraid of death though, not for myself, but for my mom.. I wouldn't want her to have to find out I'm dead or go through the subsequent depression for the rest of her life.

I used to be terrified of death, because the prospect wasn't acceptable to me of dying/ceasing to exist without ever having made it/expressed the love I had.

- Wine: a glass of red wine, a really nasty taste, connoisseurs - Salami: a slice of salami, salami and cheese sandwiches I've made, blocked arteries, heart disease - Corona: people staying at home, people talking about staying at home and other aspects of the coronavirus, my mom calling the coronavirus "corona", people being afraid to drink corona beer because of the coronavirus, masks, Trump, mucus in the lungs - Sudan: sedans, minivans, pickup trucks, SUVs, etc. - Jew: an old guy, money, antisemites, intelligence, noses, Mel Gibson, WWII, this guy I knew online 20 years ago who would call people jews, Eric Cartman, Bobby Fisher - xvilyv: someone who can be offensive and who everyone hates but who proves that it's not all black and white, people are never totally bad or totally good (well maybe a highly evolved being, avatar, angel incarnate, etc. is totally good, idk) - Spicy: Sriracha, pickled jalapenos, chipotle spread, Miguel Gavidia (someone I know/knew who I once told his personality is "spicy"), my dad telling me my taste buds must be dead because i can tolerate foods that are more spicy than he can, my dad telling me I can withstand the cold better than he can because I have so much fat, my dad telling me I'm a wimp because I got cold once (damned if I do, damned if I don't, but he was just teasing..kinda) - Lisp: the Lisp programming language, Scheme, Haskell, OCaml, linked lists, self-modifying code, abstract syntax trees, people in movies who talk with a lisp, tongue injuries, my cousin once removed with a lisp he got from a brain injury he got while he was being born - Jordan: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Jordan Almonds, my last birthday party (there were some cheap candies that resembled Jordan almonds), a biblical river - Sex: coronavirus, this girl I know Celine who offered me sex recently because I gave her some money, this girl I know Sarah who sends me porn videos of herself, hundreds of random people having sex, pregnancy, billions of years of lineage, the jungle, forms that ask you your sex, Windows XP (i heard they named it that because the sound has the word "sex" in it--sort of), subliminal advertising, some good porn I have, sex workers, online personalities ('influencers', etc.) showing off in sexy pictures

Wieselmann:
How would this crisis be different if the virus had a mortality rate of 30%?

ColorStorm:
Sean had a good answer. I would've said: draconian government lockdown in most countries; much more fear and panic; people stealing or trying to steal facemasks, hand sanitizer, maybe food, at least from stores, probably sooner or later from individuals/houses; civilization may crumble from the widespread fear, or if not that, then just from a lack of people to perform essential jobs due to the deaths (power and water may go out, internet may go out, phones may go out, food may not be available, etc.); governments would try to accommodate those who live but can't work and the people they support, but it would be a Herculean effort, requiring a huge impromptu redistribution of wealth, it runs the risk of causing hyperinflation, etc. Maybe many would die just because of lack of work. Cannibalism may run rampant as everybody starves to death. Many people would be quarantined, maybe entire cities would be quarantined, old folks' homes and such may be quarantined or disbanded (how would the old people be taken care of?), people would probably be quarantined without adequate testing just for showing certain symptoms, a lot of people might be angry about it, people would hide their symptoms; there'd be a lot of grief because of loved ones dying and/or being quarantined; it's possible that in some cases people with symptoms would just be shot dead and their bodies cremated or otherwise sterilized and buried; maybe there wouldn't be enough people*time to clean up all the dead bodies from the disease, hordes of rats would swarm the cities and the suburbs eating the dead bodies, and there would be an awful stench everywhere It could be that some or most countries take draconian-enough measures (re lockdown, etc.) that the virus stops spreading or spreads really slowly so that civilization doesn't crumble.

ZouBisouBisou:
What's your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor?

ColorStorm:
Idk I don't do Ben & Jerry's. Nothing against them, just haven't tried them much and I have other go-to ice creams. The only flavor I know of is Cherry Garcia. I'd probably like that one, I like cherry ice cream.

ZouBisouBisou:
Ben & Jerry's is the gold standard, no one else comes even remotely close. Maybe Häagen-Dazs but they're a one trick pony.

ColorStorm:
You could be right, but then, chances are you don't have Publix in your state so you don't know its glory ;)

ZouBisouBisou:
I lived in Tampax for a time, lived next door to a Publix. It's the only thing I miss about Florida.

ColorStorm:
I reaaaally like their ice cream flavors Chocolate Trinity, Chocolate Cherish Passion, and Triple Peanut Butter Cup.

ZouBisouBisou:
Publix is the only supermarket who's store brands were of better quality than the name brands. And their bakery was top notch, used tolove buying cannolis there

ZouBisouBisou:
I don't miss Florida's low standard of living, horrible humidity, freakishly overgrown bugs or tacky ass pastel colored ranch style houses with only 1 floor.

ColorStorm:
Yeah I agree, I was surprised when I realized that a lot of Publix-brand items were better than the name brands

ColorStorm:
i don't mind the houses or pastel colors. well, houses are depressing anyway. https://genius.com/Radiohead-street-spirit-fade-out-lyrics . i'm used to the

ColorStorm:
don't know about the standard of living since i haven't lived anywhere else

ColorStorm:
in what aspects is florida's standard of living inferior?

ZouBisouBisou:
Well until I moved there id never seen or even conceived of people living in trailers. There are no fucking sidewalks anywhere, except """"downtown""""

ZouBisouBisou:
Which what a fucking joke their """"downtown"""" areas are. There's nothing to do there. Their public transport sucks and is virtually non-existent.

ZouBisouBisou:
Clothing stores (I noticed) had very very limited selections, because I guess there are fewer people there with disposable income. Lots of "rent to own"

ZouBisouBisou:
Businesses. Here we have a variety of restaurants, different ethnic cuisines etc. In FL it was all fast food places. And no good pizza anywhere.

ZouBisouBisou:
People in FL are on average A LOT less educated than I'm used to. I notice that's often the case in most southern states, we have idiots here of course but

ZouBisouBisou:
Their level of common sense is at least reasonable. Not at all the case in FL in my experience. It also just seemed like everyone was struggling financially.

ZouBisouBisou:
Gas stations there were GHETTO. They try to sell you food, tires, anything for a little side cash. It's depressing and certainly not what I'm used to seeing.

Wieselmann:
Do you believe it is true that economic competition accelates technological progress?

ColorStorm:
Accelerates? I think it probably does, though it's hard to say what's possible under government-owned industry with the right systems in place to motivate and fund research & development and promote efficiency. And economic competition comes with its own monsters, such as making things as cheap as possible (way below the optimal balance between affordability and longevity or functionality) because when you're shopping for and comparing goods all you really know is the price, the rest you find out later, and the products aren't serviceable. And their manufacturing destroys the environment because companies are designed to make as much money as possible at all costs (and effectively buying legislation isn't beneath them). And this is to say nothing of whether technology is actually ultimately good for us. I think if you study the interaction between Native Americans and the colonizers you'll see that the Native Americans were much happier, and depression has been on the rise for many years--to say nothing of cancer. We perpetually look forward to the future and its potential technologies because we're not really satisfied with our lives now, and we're not really satisfied with our lives now because of technology and industrialization and the disconnect from nature that it entails.

Neat. And Daniel Craig is ugly and his acting is emotionless. \*looks up a picture of Lashana Lynch\* Oh.. she's not particularly pretty.

Wasserpistole:
I like Craig as Bond but that is personal. I would find it better if they started a new project similar to Bond with her as heroine.

Some people eat dogs. I think it is 100% wrong to do so. Fuck traditions, in that case. What do you feel about that?

ColorStorm:
I feel it's wrong but analytically I'm not sure it's any more wrong than, say, eating beef. It *could* be, because I think dogs have more individuality and personality than cattle and such. At the very least they have more connection to and love for humans. At least the ones who are raised with humans do.

Wasserpistole:
Maybe if we would give cows the same love we do give dogs, they would be just as loyal and stuff. All this meat thing is nothing but a huge perversion.

Everything a person choose to believe is supported by some science. The earth is flat, sex between adult and child can be wholesome, cigarettes are still not that bad, the earth is 6000 years old etc. etc. We are in trouble, aren't we?

ColorStorm:
The problem isn't so much that everything is supported by some science as it is that everyone has their own weird beliefs about what's true, because people will believe what they want whether it's supported by some science or not. And for those who shape their beliefs based on what science has to say, there is mainstream science, as opposed to the fringe stuff, that wouldn't hold that the earth is flat or that it's 6000 years old, etc.

If you could invent anything, what would you invent? Me: a tv that shuts down itself whenever it detects advertisement breaks, and turns back on after they end

ColorStorm:
A simple automatic continuously variable transmission. I have an idea for one that might work for small things like r/c cars. Or.. a more efficient air conditioner, that compresses air directly, and the expansive force of the decompression directly powers the contractive force of the compression, kind of like a rotary engine. Or an efficient water desalinization plant where it electrifies the water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burns it and collects the water vapor, and the heat released from burning it powers the electricity used to separate it, and maybe pressure differentials are balanced out too, and there's a constant small flow of water that doesn't get electrocuted to keep residue from building up.

How would you define 'information'?

ColorStorm:
I guess I would say information is formalized, quantified, and usually manipulated, transmitted, and replicated patterns. It tends to be digital, such as in computers and information theory, but I guess you could call some analog forms information too (like the grooves on a vinyl record). If one believes the universe is made of nothing but information, then they'd probably believe information can be analog, because we don't know the universe to be fundamentally digital. I think information is purely the result of measurements and purely quantitative though, and it alone can't give rise to or represent substance, quality, qualia or experience. It's form without substance. I think the name "information" is telling and not just an anachronism, in that it's an *informing*. You take a measurement, and the result *informs* you about some aspect of reality. It's not the reality itself; it never can be.

ColorStorm:
\*hands you a mask out of his pocket and runs away\* In a nutshell: democratic socialism; panpsychism/idealism; spiritualism; luddism; anti-vax; anti-scientism/physicalism/"skepticism"; anti-religion; anti-transhumanism; anti-libertarianism; anti-circumcision; environmentalism; anti-factory-farming; anti-sexual-repression; of the position that things such as astrology, mysticism, ghosts, God, the Mandela effect, etc. aren't false on principal based on any valid worldview, but instead must be weighed carefully without bias and often without the luxury of the easy certainty that empiricism offers; intuitionism; anti-platonism; generally not into conspiracy theories, though I do think JFK was probably killed by the CIA and there's something fishy about 9/11; the heart is a real thing and not just a metaphor; we should trust ourselves and not betray our core in the name of scientific objectivity or of transcending supposed biases, because those memes are often direly misleading.

ColorStorm:
A couple is 2 by definition. A few is 5, IMO. Several is 7. No more or less. :d

IAmButt:
Wow those seem like pretty strict definitions

ColorStorm:
TBH it can be a little bit more or less. =) actually it's also relative to scale

ColorStorm:
several and few, i mean. a couple really is only 2. i refuse to use it any other way. =p

IAmButt:
Fascinating

ColorStorm:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/couple

IAmButt:
"An indefinite small number". So that would back my usage of "a couple"

ColorStorm:
the last one, yeah :)

ColorStorm:
i think a couple technically is a pair but people use it to mean a few so often that they had to include that

IAmButt:
My whole life it has been nearly synonymous with a few. Lol

What are your thoughts on the use of fireworks? (i.e. who should be able to use them, where should they be used if any)

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, I can say I feel bad for the poor dogs who are scared to death (sometimes literally) of them. And smoke is *terrible* for people's health. And of course there's the fire hazard. And not to mention the all the noise when some people are trying to sleep. On the other hand they're a tradition, they're fun, and people would go ape shit if they were made illegal, accusing the leftists of taking away our freedoms.. Of course there are middle grounds that can be taken - ban only certain types of fireworks, make which fireworks are banned in a given area or time of year depend on things like fire hazard and population density, etc. I'm not sure what middle ground is ideal (well, nothing's *ideal*, but let's say "optimal"), and people will go ape shit and/or complain to the degree to which the ground taken is impermissive..

I think comparing yourself to others can easily be the thief of joy. I just heard the other month that people who live in affluent neighborhoods but are less affluent than their neighbors have a higher suicide rate than people who live in poor neighborhoods.. Though I think envy isn't a categorically bad thing, it has a positive purpose, see https://quotesthatnourish.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/conversations-with-god-envy-jealous/

heaven sounds horrible tbh. Imagine i have a beautiful wife and kids, nice life. A heart attack takes me out. Now I go to heaven & I can watch my wife remarry, kids grow up without me and forget me. Sounds heartbreaking & it's all for eternity 😢

ColorStorm:
In Heaven (meaning the afterlife), you can be with your loved ones even if they're still on Earth, because a person's soul/being/essence is way more expansive than just their Earthly incarnation. It spans across realms and time.

ChrisMartinez:
Like haunt them? If they can acknowledge your existence or are not even aware of it. Are u really with them?

Why can't we use other type of fonts in here? 😭

ColorStorm:
Most sites, chat programs, etc. don't let you select your font, so it's normal. AIM did let you though, one of the reasons AIM rocked. One problem with letting people select the font is that not everybody has the same fonts installed. So what looks like Roman Gothic to you might be Ariel to somebody else. There only about 5 or so fonts that are guaranteed to exist on most systems.

Are you receptive to change?

ColorStorm:
The way I see it, all beings have no choice but to be receptive to change. It'll affect you, it'll change you, it'll do so when it wants to, and there's no avoiding it. But you can move with it more or less gracefully, I guess. I don't remember ever having a problem with change.

DUST:
How much have you changed?

ColorStorm:
i think i've changed a lot over the years, but not as a response to external change. i used to be very different, more.. i don't know the word for it,

Is satisfaction and happiness connected in some ways?

ColorStorm:
maybe satisfaction is the temporary alleviation of wanting, and wanting causes suffering?

in a space without suffering happiness would naturally arise

ColorStorm:
well, it could allow the space for being happy temporarily

Wasserpistole:
A friend you like fine is telling you in all honesty "I am in love with you." How do you react? Something like that ever happened to you?

ColorStorm:
It's never happened to me. Actually, maybe it sorta happened to me once. This guy friend I've had for 20 years once said, "I love you." "And I am gay." but it was just a passing mood like all of his moods. Anyway, how I'd react depends on whether the person is a male or female and if it's a female whether she's pretty or ugly. I'd continue to be (at least) friends no matter what. If it's a hot girl I'd probably end up in a relationship with her or if I'm clear that I'm not into her in that way then maybe I'd just tell her if she ever wants to have sex, or cuddle, or whatever I'm open to it. If it's an ugly girl I'd just keep it cool, aloof, tread somewhat carefully.. if it's a guy I might be a little weirded out by it but I wouldn't push them away, I think disowning someone because they're in love with you is the most ironic and messed up thing..

ColorStorm:
It would be really neat to be able to see them living. They'd have to be in a special environment though because there was a lot more oxygen in the atmosphere when they were around. Nature was very different back then, and it'd be interesting to experience that too. Again because of the oxygen levels, insects were absolutely gigantic!

Andy:
True or False? Quiet people are more attractive than their counterparts,

ColorStorm:
it all depends. I saw a girl who didn't say a word today at the dentist's office but something about her body language was so attractive to me. so i'd say attraction is independent of whether someone speaks or not.. but a lot of attraction can be in how someone uses their voice and what they say, which can't be conferred if they don't speak.

Andy:
Good hypothesis! (attraction is independent of whether someone speaks or not) - I'l have to give that some thought :)

ColorStorm:
https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/whats-the-matter-with-vaccines/ I think it's ironic when people accuse anti-vaxxers on being uninformed. I think the only thing pro-vaxxers know is "Vaccinations prevent diseases. Vaccinations are science. Science is good.", because if they actually researched the issue then they should be totally sympathetic to the anti-vaxxers. See my essay linked to above for more information.

Wieselmann:
Have you ever tried to use telekinesis?

ColorStorm:
Yes, it didn't work that I remember. I've tried it with a psi-wheel and other things. But I might have done it accidentally once. Once when I was a kid, probably around 5 years old, I looked at a blue rubber ball sitting on top of a bookshelf on the opposite side of the room from me, right at the front edge of the top of the bookshelf, and I thought to myself, "that ball is so close to the edge, it could fall at any second", and then it fell. Or at least, that's what I remember remembering. When we're kids we don't have as much understanding of what's "possible" and "impossible" such as "well if it's been there for days and no new force acts on it then it shouldn't move at all, at least/especially not within the next few seconds", so our imagination/expectations are freer to influence external/physical reality. (I think our expectations influence external reality on a regular basis even in adult life, just usually in ways limited to what's not blatantly "impossible" according to our learned worldviews of separation and mechanicism. Ironically, the more perceptive we are to correlation between our expectations/wishes and how things turn out, the less empowered we are to psychically manifest our desires, for that reason: we deem such correlation impossible. One effect of this principle is that it gives dumb people an advantage in games of chance.) My best friend swears he once made a floating hair stop in mid-air and start spinning, and then stop and start spinning in the opposite direction (or something like that), and that he had a witness. His roommate or friend or whatever she was saw it and, according to him, her jaw dropped. I'm not sure if this counts directly as telekinesis, but one time there was a fan going in the room I was in and I wished it weren't going, but I was too lazy to get up and stop it. Then a few minutes later, for unrelated reasons, I decided to send a wish outward from my heart to bring magic into this world. I physically felt the energy release upward from my heart chakra (I was lying on my back), and at the same exact instant the fan turned off. Just to investigate, sometime later I checked out the state of the fan.. the power was still set to an on position, and it was still plugged in. I turned the dial to "off" and then back on, and the fan ran again. It wasn't even a slow fan due to bad bearings or gunked up parts or a bad motor or anything, it worked perfectly fine.

I have few red shirts. Black might suit me well too, but I find it bleak. I do have a lot of black clothes though.

I mean it's good for people not to feel too down about themselves, but it's not good when it's taken too far and people are brazen about being overweight rather than seeing it as an actual problem that they should at least try to deal with. I really resent the fact that so many people are fat nowadays.

Wieselmann:
If you had to remove one colour from your visual perception, which one would you choose? Why?

ColorStorm:
Black, maybe. It's kind of depressing/morbid. But it depends. What would the color be replaced by? If it would be replaced by surrounding colors, then not black because then I couldn't read books and such. Also it depends on how specific/narrow the color would be that I can remove. Like, if I could just remove a color that's so specific I'll probably never see it again, then it doesn't matter which one I pick. =P But I'll just assume it's on the level of, say, 12 different categories of color, give or take. Or maybe a little bit more, because I want to say remove orangeish magenta and that's a little more specific. Why? Because it's ugly.

4001:
well how do you even imagine this? I'd guess it's like a blind spot perceptionally. Imagine the Basketball Handover/Counting video, did you spot Anonyous Coward

4001:
Probably not, you just didn't process it. It's the blackest black there is, kind of like the alpha channel of a PNG

RetroKnight:
In a film that is not in your native/preferred language, do you prefer dubbing or subtitles?

ColorStorm:
Always subtitles.

ColorStorm:
It's weird that they call them subtitles though. A "subtitle" should be a smaller/trailing part of a title. I guess they should be called captioning or somethng

ColorStorm:
MistyRiver brings up a good point re anime. i think i like dubbing better in anime too, at least when the voice actors are good and a good fit

RetroKnight:
It's true, with animated stuff you're already kinda taking some liberties matching things up, so it's less, obtrusive ?

ColorStorm:
yes, exactly, and it's not like you have a mismatch between the voice and the actor, because the only actor in it *is* the voice, so it's just like as if

they'd hired a different actor to begin with

Wieselmann:
i guess that maps onto 5 to 6 on my scale

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I'm generally against anything artificial, including bodily manipulations, but in the case of mastectomy I think it's appropriate. A missing breast looks awful, and the fake breast is just replacing what was naturally there to begin with, so it's not really a lie regarding the person's genetics..

In your onion, are geniuses born or created?

ColorStorm:
In my asparagus, for the most part people are born destined to be genius or not. Life experience, education, nutrition, etc. can diminish your genius or possibly enhance it, or can direct its path or determine its nature of expression, though. IQ, for example, is known for being relatively constant throughout one's lifetime. (Inb4 "but IQ isn't everything.") On the other hand, all life is connected, no man is an island, and genius is a characteristic of life, so maybe it's something you can just tap into. William James Sidis, the person with the highest estimated IQ ever (around 250), said that there was this cosmic energy that he channeled that made him so smart.

What Pandy and Sean said. You need to give companies incentive to develop the drugs (in the form of profits), or there will *be* no life-saving drugs, but they shouldn't charge too much and exploit people. Also, you could make drug development a function of the government instead of private companies and then make life-saving drugs free.

He wanted me to participate and I didn't want to. Later on he asked me why I don't like prank calls.

You may move into a new house/flat/apartment at your liking and get the new habitat and interior for free. Money is not real limit. What habitat would you chose and what style of living would you prefer in it?

ColorStorm:
A small house (well, not *too* small, but not exorbitantly big), one story, no interior walls unless maybe they're made out of paper or hanging beads or something, can withstand 300-mph winds, has a dirt section inside with a garden, is in the suburbs (civilization is convenient) but far enough away from my neighbors that I can blast the bass with no one caring, really soft/comfortable couch/chairs/bed/whatever, lots of things made of metal that would normally be made of plastic or wood.

Is extreme violence (i.e. being tied down having your reproductive organs eaten alive by dogs) an acceptable punishment for a predatory pedophile rapist?

ColorStorm:
No, people are just *hysterical* about pedophiles these days. They're the current black sheep of society. Even otherwise normal people fantasize about bizarre and horrific ways to punish and torture pedophiles specifically. Also, "rapist" doesn't necessarily mean "rapist" anymore. You could be referring to so-called "statutory rape", which isn't rape--it's consensual sex with someone whom society deems too young and oblivious to understand the decision to engage in such a naughty, dirty (at least/especially naughty and dirty for people under the age of exactly 18), completely natural and human thing.

There's a number of shortcomings others pointed out that it would be nice to see fixed, but the main problem I have with Retrospring is how few characters are shown in an answer before you have to click to read more. It discourages people from reading messages that have the least bit of thought put into them. And if not that then it at least makes it very inconvenient. I imagine fixing that is probably as simple as changing one number.

Do you believe in evolution, creation or emanation or even in 2 or all of them?

ColorStorm:
I believe in evolution (the evidence for it is overwhelming and agrees across disparate fields of study), but I doubt it's the full story. I don't think it's only random mutations and survival of the fittest driving evolution, but that there's probably some level of will/species consciousness/individual experiences/whatever influencing it as well. I don't know what "emanation" means in this context.

Wasserpistole:
You just had to ask google. "The concept of emanation is that all derived or secondary things proceed or flow from the more primary. "

ColorStorm:
kind of vague, almost truistic

Would you compromise your happiness for the success of the relationship??

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't want to be in a relationship that makes me less happy than I am without one.

ColorStorm:
I could compromise some things, even thins that would have made me happier, but only if I'm still happier than I would be without a relationship.

ColorStorm:
And in that case the happy I could have been if I didn't compromise those things is merely hypothetical.

The thing is there was nobody else in the bathroom. If I remember correctly she said there was something off about the conversation, like it seemed like they must have been from the 50s or something.

Spudella:
I actually don't understand people who are happy all the time.

ColorStorm:
They're lucky enough to have a personality that can sustain happiness in the face of a treacherous world. Not sure what the psychal mechanics of it are, but suffice it to say it's possible because everyone's (very) different from each other. It could also be more than luck, it could be a kind of inner wisdom. If wisdom would serve any purpose you would think it would be to make us happy, as happiness is the ultimate goal of all our endeavors. Circumstances are of course also a factor, and someone can of course be lucky with circumstances, but I think very few people get ideal circumstances and I know that the person you were talking about in Scott's answer was facing exams just like everyone else but, unlike everyone else, he remained happy, so I won't attribute it to luck of circumstances. The only thing I really want to say is, we should be happy for those people rather than drag them down.

ColorStorm:
By the same token you've never seen anything else around you in the present. Of course the few nanoseconds it takes for the light to reach your eye is nothing compared to the time it takes your eye to react, the nerves to relay the reaction to your brain, and your brain/mind to process what you're seeing.

If there was an $1000 app that told you with 100% accuracy who has masturbated to you, how often and the last date they did it - would you purchase it?

ColorStorm:
It'd be tempting, because if a cute girl had masturbated to me and I knew it, I could hit her up and maybe convince her to make something sexual or maybe just romantic a reality. But the chances of *anybody* masturbating to me are so low I'm not sure I could justify the $1000.

Piercings everywhere else are gross. And faddy/conformist. The piercings I understand the least are septum piercings.

Which do you enjoy more: earning money or spending money?

Earning money is miserable, if you mean doing the labor you need to do in order to earn money. If you mean just the fact of your bank account growing as a result, I think I like that better than spending my money. Although I do enjoy receiving/using the things I spend it on, and after all the only reason we like growing our bank accounts is, logically, because it means more potential for spending it on things.

Wieselmann:
Is there an essential difference between living beings and non-living things or are living beings just a very complex assembly of non-living things? Explain your answer!

ColorStorm:
There's no reason or way an arbitrarily complex collection of non-living things could become a living thing. Non-livingness stacked on top of non-livingness just makes more non-livingness, regardless of the mechanical interactions between the items. The experience of beingness is singular and is an element unto itself. Also see the philosophical zombie argument ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_zombie ). However, this raises the question of how things come to be alive, how they're imbued with the essence of livingness, when they're apparently made out of physical matter. One could argue that a soul from the realm of living beings, or some living substance from the realm of living substance, "comes down" and possesses the physical form like a ghost in the machine, but the problem with that is that there's an apparent spectrum or gradient of physical systems ranging from the (supposedly) totally non-living, like a rock, to the arguably non-living, like a virus, to the arguably living, like a bacterium, to the definitely living, like a frog, etc. If living substance came down and imbued certain types of physical systems, then you'd think it wouldn't be so much a gradient but binary: a thing would either be living or it wouldn't. And why wouldn't there be some physical systems that *should* be living that the living substance just "forgets" to imbue? The answer, I think, is that everything is living. All there is is life. The physical is either a specific projection of, or a specific way of perceiving, life. A rock is alive, but because of its form we don't relate to it as life. We can't sense what it's feeling or what it's aware of. Well, maybe not the rock is alive so much as the individual atoms it's made up of, or the molecules, or their subatomic particles, because the question of where to draw the line between one living thing and another living thing is a whole can of worms; e.g., is a bus a living thing, or is every individual part of the bus its own living thing, etc.? What we call living things are organizations of living matter that allow the intelligence of that matter to build on itself, synergistically, from the bottom level of organization to the top level. Something that's not organized in this way has beingness but not intelligence, or at least not intelligence that's recognizable to us. Perhaps it's just like an ocean of conscious flow, devoid of self-awareness. I wrote more on the subject here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2020/02/07/why-im-an-idealist/ . It has entire logical arguments that I didn't mention here.

ColorStorm:
I realize that talking about a realm of souls or living substance or whatever sounds like an antiquated and unjustified way of thinking that seems to violate

ColorStorm:
Occam's razor, or might seem that way to certain types of thinkers. Not all of the reasons for my beliefs or the evolution of my thought can be put onto the

What do you think about girls who talk openly about sex or her sexuality? Do you think they're looking for sth?

ColorStorm:
Probably not. It depends on *how* they're talking about sexuality though. Though even if they're being sexually suggestive, it could just be that they're looking for attention/being a thirst trap. If they're hot that's probably the case. If they're not so hot they may be looking for sth (in the case that they talk about sex in a particularly suggestive way).

I'd think it's utterly ridiculous, I'd want to roll my eyes. I wouldn't think the person is insane necessarily, but that they're inclined to be swept away by the latest social craze. If it were in person, I might use the pronouns just because of the social pressure (I really don't like making enemies), but i wouldn't be happy about it.

Do you wish Christina Ricci was in real life more like Wednesday (The Addams Family)?

Wednesday was kinda neat, but I wouldn't wish for the actor to be any different from who they actually are because that would be a horrible imposition. I want Christina Ricci to be whoever she wants to be. =) Also I don't like braided pony tails or whatever you call those things. I don't have anything against wishing that there existed somebody a lot like Wednesday though. And there probably does, so it would really be about wishing to meet them (or see them in the media or whatever). I don't remember Wednesday well enough to say if I really wish this, though. Somebody so dark probably has a troubled psyche, which would be unfortunate.

I bought a pair of sunglasses once that said it had a lifetime warranty. Something got on it and I forget what happened but I think when I washed it off it washed the mirrored coloring off the lenses too. I called the number and it turned out the "lifetime warranty" was for manufacturer's defects only. I was like really? Like someone's not going to notice there's a manufacturing defect in their camera until 20 years later and then is going to get it replaced? Misleading advertising IMO. Maybe yours is the same thing? Anyway yes, I have a drawer for all those important papers like warranties, receipts, user manuals, passport, etc. and other things besides papers too.

ZouBisouBisou:
In your opinion should polygamy be legal, why or why not?

ColorStorm:
I think it should be. Why should the law arbitrarily support one particular lifestyle/choice of arrangement and not another? And I don't even agree with serial monogamy (at least as a rule) for reasons I've mentioned in other posts (i.e. mutual restriction of whom one can share love, sensuality and sexuality with in a relationship is based on fear, ego and possessiveness and is the mark of an unadvanced culture). But nor do I think love should ideally have anything to do with the law / legal arrangements to begin with. But as long as it does, people should be free to marry whomever/however they want (well, maybe barring marrying, say, 12-year-olds :P). But there could be technical reasons that allowing polygamy would complicate/confound marriage, in aspects like who owns what in a divorce, how much people are taxed, etc. Of course if polygamy should be legal, it should be just as legal for a wife to have multiple husbands as a husband to have multiple wives, which needs clarifying because currently (I think?) in cultures where polygamy is legal it's only one-way. Maybe people should be able to marry each other not just in isolated groups but in a fully interconnected graph. So like, in theory, at the logical extreme, everybody could be related through marriage with something like six degrees of separation. That would probably confound the legal issues mentioned above even more though. But, maybe it's actually the only it can be done, if A being married to B and B being married to C doesn't necessarily imply that C is married to A.

Wieselmann:
Whats your favorite card game?

ColorStorm:
One I made up. I call it Grid, but I don't know if that name is taken already. Here's how it's played. Shuffle the deck and put it on the table between the two players (more players are possible, but it's probably less fun the more players you have). Take 8 cards from the deck and place them all around the deck, like this, face up: XXX XDX XXX Where D is the deck. The deck is face down. Take two cards off the deck and give one to each player, face up. The two players alternate turns. On a turn, you can do one of two things. 1) You can pick up one of the 8 cards/stacks around the deck and put it on top of another one, face up, IFF the *top* card on the stack you're moving matches the *top* card on the stack you're putting on top of, in either suit or number (number meaning 1, 2, 3, etc., J, K, etc.). Repeat as many times as desired. Often you can reduce it all to one stack in if you wish in one turn. OR 2) You can pick up *one* of those stacks and put it on top of your personal card/stack IFF the top card on the stack matches your own top card in suit or number. After you do 1 or 2, take a card off the deck for each of the 8 stacks/cards you removed and put it there face up, so there's again 8 stacks/cards surrounding the deck. Keep playing until the deck is empty and the 8 cards/stacks around it are empty or at least no further moves can be made. The goal is to have the highest number of cards an your personal stack. The strategies involved may not be obvious just from reading the instructions, but they'd probably occur to you if you started playing it. Strategies such as you could make a pile as big as possible so you can take it on your next turn (making the top card match your top card), but the bigger you make it the more cards will be replaced on the slots you picked up that the other player could use to change the top card on the stack and block you from getting it or even make it match *their* card, so you may want to limit how many stacks around the deck you remove.

Qafka:
That sounds really fun. I shall force someone to play it with me

There was this well-known female mathematician who proved that it any system with consistent causal laws at least one quantity is always conserved, in this universe it's mass-energy. Or something like that. So I guess to destroy energy you'd have to break causality.

We probably shouldn't hate on stupid people, as tempting as it is, because we shouldn't hate on anyone. Besides, is it really their fault their cognitive ability is limited? On the other hand, does being stupid imply some things that are a little more malignant than just having low cognitive ability? On the other hand, is even being malignant ultimately one's own fault? If we were to walk in their exact shoes since the beginning of time, whose to say we wouldn't turn out roughly the same way? And if we wouldn't, what luck made us who we essentially are that's not them? To say nothing of the fact that when we judge and condemn traits of others we're probably actually judging and condemning things we recognize within ourselves.

Also starting it up and setting up controllers and whatever is really confusing, one reason being that a controller can be used singularly or in combination with another controller and it requires you to press right and left buttons.. Also I'm not totally sure the graphics are any better than those of a Wii.

Wasserpistole:
And what games did you enjoy? The Lite is a pure handheld system with the power of the original Switch. Hallelujah.

ColorStorm:
Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Do you like to be tanned? Or do you prefer being china white?

Either way I guess, aesthetically, but it's healthier for the skin and you age a lot less quickly if you remain untanned.

What's an example of an opinion you disagree with but can respect?

ColorStorm:
The idea that we should find a cure for death. Unicole Unicron's idea that you should make up your own reality and believe whatever you want as long as it brings you joy. The opinion that Requiem for a Dream wasn't a depressing movie.

ColorStorm:
We should be able to own guns

ChrisMartinez:
https://youtu.be/W_DjLaXZXs4 u should watch this, surveillance camera man , this guy just records ppl randomly they get soo mad at him.. How would u react?

ColorStorm:
There's no reason to get so mad, people are so reflexive and mindless. =/ I would probably wave and then ignore him and go about my way.

nachopee:
seems a bit self-righteous to call people mindless for reasonably getting upset at a camera in their space tbh. he never reveals the "purpose" of his recording,

nachopee:
intentionally being secretive about it. when you come to a grocery store you know why you're being recorded, and you're not specifically being targeted

ColorStorm:
I just figure whatever the purpose of his recording is it can't actually hurt me if I'm not doing anything wrong, so why should I care. And I'm not

ColorStorm:
suspicious of his intentions just because being recorded makes me feel vulnerable.

ColorStorm:
But maybe I'm just over-optimistic about people's intentions or autistic about my thinking about what can and can't happen to me, idk

ChrisMartinez:
i will say maybe him not talking is alittle ominous .. maybe it's unnerving to ppl.

nachopee:
it is, it's uncomfortable and people are understandably suspicious of it. I know I would be

Would you support your friend if they only ate Cheetos and other messy finger foods with chopsticks? What if they ate them wearing disposable gloves, is that better or worse?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, definitely. My friends are allowed to be a little quirky. Makes them more colorful even. Chopsticks is better because it has some style, it actually requires skill, and disposable gloves aren't good for the environment.

Work out all problems through communication and respect each other's rights, happiness and desires enough that after proper communication there would be no conflicts of interest, no war, no violence, no force/no need for laws, no subterfuge, etc. I'm pretty sure this is how things would be if everyone were as spiritually advanced as I am.

Wieselmann:
Is social media driving us crazy?

ColorStorm:
I think its power is to really lubricate the memespace, and that has its positive effects and its negative effects. Overall it probably does more good than harm, unless, perhaps, you count how it replaces in-person and voice contact and doing things in the real world, especially among children.

Devs: what do you prefer: git or subversion? (mercurial, fossil, etcetra not allowed.)

ColorStorm:
I haven't delved deeply into either of them.. I've used svn before just because it was the only way to download some things, and I use github because it's a good way to share your code on the web, but I never really used either for version control. I just save my program as a new file every time I'm about to start changing things that might break things. =p

well that works too if you got the tools and methology, versioning is just syntax sugar (sugars' tasty tough)

Wieselmann:
What does it mean to have taste?

ColorStorm:
Everyone has their own tastes, but when someone is said to "have taste" it implies that their taste is somehow better, more refined, more cultured, more aware, or whatever than most. Or it could just mean that they're more selective / pay more attention to aesthetics, I guess. But, in practice, when someone says someone else "has taste" it probably just means their tastes happen to match theirs.

Spudella:
Ever throw out stuff you shoulda kept?

ColorStorm:
I'm more guilty of keeping stuff I should throw out. Though one time I couldn't take living with so much crap in my room and just threw out 90% of it. Maybe some of it I should've kept. Not that even the stuff I wish I would've kept is really important in the bigger picture. Your question reminds me of the guy who threw out his laptop when he was done with it, thought about taking out the hard drive first as he usually does, decided not to, and just threw the whole thing away. Later on he realized he'd had a million dollars worth of bitcoins on that hard drive. He never did find it.

Spudella:
Oh God Ive done stuff like that. Or alternatively I allowed this idiot I was dating shut down my hard drive cos I had issues with it and lost loads of data

Spudella:
....I think he wanted to delete my past the weirdo. I had told him to wait till I put stuff on an external hard drive.

What sets you apart from 'normal' people?

ColorStorm:
A lot of things, my imaginativeness, my astuteness, my intelligence, my seriousness, my lack of emotion, how much strength I have that I need just to continue dragging myself through an utterly empty life, my history of occasional psychosis, my extreme level of insecurity where I often don't know the appropriate way to react to someone and I'm terrified of doing the wrong thing, so much so that I can't even hold a job and the first time I had sex I was 28.

Solid answer!

What is the most sexualised human body part (regardless of gender)?

ColorStorm:
You can't say "regardless of gender" because it's different for each gender. For women, it may be the breasts, but men don't have breasts. For men, it's probably the ass. It could also be the ass for women, but then it could also be the breasts or vagina.

Men have breasts - hence why men have breast cancer :P

If you suddenly had one million in your account, would you be scared or relieved?

ColorStorm:
If I didn't know why I had one million in my account, chances would be it was an error and the money wouldn't legally be mine, and sooner or later the bank would catch the error. So I wouldn't be relieved, but I wouldn't be scared either. Even if some stranger sent me one million I wouldn't be scared. Maybe relieved? Maybe relieved and a little scared? I wouldn't be scared without being relieved too, though, because the only way I wouldn't be relieved is if I told the authorities and they took it away or something, and then I wouldn't be scared either.

ColorStorm:
Maybe the people proposing more infections are actually trying to prevent even more infections further in the future? idk, I'm not familiar with this.

Kate:
That is what they say. But as long as there is no vaccine or drugs the infections will develop according to human idiocy without borders or limits.

Kate:
So better be clever. Actually those people do not give a fuck about those infected, being ill or dead. They think they cannot be infected and the faster

Kate:
the infection is spreading, the more people get ill or dead, the faster they can have their egoistic life back.

What classical painting did impress you and what is it? Do not say 'Mona Lisa'.

ColorStorm:
I'm not impressed by classical paintings. At least for the most part. I may have seen 1 or 2 or a few that impressed me, but I don't remember them. I've seen a lot of sh*t in my life. I also have a pretty bad memory. Even if I did remember them I probably wouldn't remember their names so I wouldn't be able to find them again. =P

Kate:
SO if you don't remember you obviously were not impressed.

ColorStorm:
I disagree, not necessarily true. =) there's so much i don't remember.

Kate:
So do you have an interest to revisit some probably sometime?

ColorStorm:
If there's some you want to share, sure. Otherwise, not really. The amount of classical paintings I'd have to sift through to find one I like isn't worth it. At

ColorStorm:
least/especially when there are other kinds of images and other kinds of things that I like more that I could sift through.

ColorStorm:
Well, if you're asking if I'd like to see the ones that impressed me again, yes, if I had some way of knowing where they were, sure.

Kate:
So describe what it was! Abstract? More than 100 years old, more recent give me a clue!

ColorStorm:
haha I don't know, i have no idea, i'm not even sure there were any i was impressed by. umm.. i like a) paintings that look exceptionally realistic with lots of

ColorStorm:
elements in them and b) things that are really colorful. also, really good-looking people. the tastes of classical painters in general don't match mine.

ColorStorm:
ok i found one i saved to my hdd because it impressed me so much but i don't know if it's actually classical. i'll upload it somewhere and post it.

Should boys shave their legs before showing them off like bleached cactuses in shorts these days?

ColorStorm:
If both women and men "had to" shave their legs, abdomens, etc., I'd be okay with that.

Kate:
I do not plan to make that a law but an option. Though I could live with the custom of hairfree body, but that would be opposed by those who like body hair.

Kate:
I can only hope some guys will just care for their looks and legs, haha!

ColorStorm:
I was thinking it could become (not a law, but) a social mandate that guys shave just like girls do. Maybe sometime in the future when people are more refined.

Kate:
I would not be happy with it to be a social mandate, I just would like it to be good taste.

Are fathers worse parents than mothers in general?

ColorStorm:
A lot of mothers are bad (almost all of them are bad in some way or another), but I would guess that on average fathers are worse, because males are emotionally colder, more aggressive, more about putting on a front of strength, generally more criminal and destructive, hard-headed, more likely to fall into any type of extreme imaginable, etc. And women by nature are softer, more emotional, more nurturing, like to resolve things through discussion before violence, etc.

I was there (NYC) once, briefly. We drove through it but we never stepped out of the car. I'd always wanted to go there, just to see. It was one of the few places in the US I hadn't been to. I was absolutely amazed. From some places you can see a seemingly endless scape of buildings and skyscrapers. From horizon to horizon. It was unlike any other city I've seen. Surreal. It was as if the city spanned an entire state. I see such a concrete jungle as a kind of pathological dystopia, but it's an impressive one.

I think overthinking can cause you to second and third guess things you would say and do and cause you not to do them. It can make you an introvert. (Or maybe it can only compound the effects; maybe it was being introverted that caused them to overthink in the first place.) I wouldn't call it a disease though, that's a little strong.

nachopee:
What do YOU bring to the table when it comes to dating/relationships? What do you think a partner appreciates most about you? (inspired by inhahe)

ColorStorm:
I honestly don't know. I want a girl to like me just because they like the cut of my jib, the color of the light inside. The unique soul that I am. I have little hope of that happening, but maybe I should have more since it's happened before. On the other hand.. I'm less of what I am than I used to be. I perk up when I see in a dating profile that a girl is a sapiosexual, because I feel like that means I have a chance to woo her with what I've got. One good thing about me is that I never engage in arguments or start drama. When I'm more in touch with myself I feel like I'm particularly emotionally aware and above the fray. I also feel like in my mind is hidden centuries of various experiences to draw from when processing a situation.. like a deep sea of emotional structures. My first girlfriend said she thought I feel things more deeply than other people. My ability to feel emotions is weak, yet in a sense I think it's true anyway. Not sure how related this is, but once I had a dream where a city was on an incline and the water was rising and rising and drowning everything. Then this very advanced problem-solving guy I knew from the hospital said, "Do us a favor" and told me to rest my head in my arms on the table so all I could see was darkness. I told a dream interpreter about the dream and she said that water represents emotion, and in this case it may be "emotion where it doesn't belong." I think I take things on a way more personal/deep level than others do, like I take them to heart at the level of my soul whereas most people are more unconsciously enlightened about that and know that on the soul level all is love.. or they just don't access / embody themselves as deeply. I guess if that's true that would be an imbalance rather than something I have to offer per se, just wanted to mention it because it was relevant to my answer.

One thing everyone would probably agree on if you asked them is that I'm "quiet." I had a lot more interaction with people (online) like 20-25 years ago, and I think I endeared myself to a lot of them, so I guess I was more interesting back then.

Wieselmann:
I have never heard of pedophile women. Do they not exist?

ColorStorm:
I've heard of teachers who have sex with their (I think underage?) students. That's not technically pedophilia though since pedophilia means you're attracted to prepubescents. I did hear of one girl who was in I think elementary school when her teacher (a female, IIUC) wanted to go down on her. And there was this one picture I saw. There are so many people that of course they exist somewhere, the only question is the rarity. And I think you haven't heard of them because they're so much more rare than male pedophiles. Girls are less sexually perverted/creepy in general than guys. And they're more demisexual, whereas men are more visually/physically oriented. And women don't have to chase after little girls because they're still alive inside / still have their own inner child to draw from more so than a lot of men. Men tend to grow to live completely in their heads.

Do you also have the impression that people with left wing views often are more arrogant than people with right wing views?

Not really, but it's possible. It's easy to be more arrogant when you hold the views of the majority / the establishment. Though I think the right wing has stronger convictions, they have a death grip on their values and fears. That's why they don't mind subverting democracy to get their way.

What is your opinion on open relationships?

ColorStorm:
I think in a mature society we wouldn't see our lovers as 'belonging to' us and wouldn't feel the need to restrict whom they're allowed to share love with. It's quite easy and natural for the heart (or the loins, even) to be attracted to more than one person, and partners being mutually restrictive in this sense is the product of fear and ego. Maybe some people just prefer monogamy (for reasons other than 'it's the cultural norm'), but I think the unpopularity and taboo nature of open relationships is a mark of an immature society.

Are there such Muslims? Didn't know. I suppose it's a little hypocritical, but the hypocrisy isn't that important because the things they're told not to do aren't that important. Maybe they're even cool for ignoring some of the useless dogma of their religion / not regarding it with enough importance to bring it into their personal lives. But then, they're still strongly religious, so not so cool. But then, they hardly had any choice since it was in their upbringing.

Andy:
Who do you think is winning the 'culture war' at the moment, the left wing or the right wing? (an explanation is appreciated)

ColorStorm:
I think the left wing is winning. The majority of people are Democrats, and the future looks more liberal than the past because the newer generations are liberal while the boomers are more conservative and are going to die out. And society is currently progressing toward more and more awareness, and awareness coincides with being liberal. Take being "woke" for example. It's more aligned with liberal values than conservative values, and you know it's popular because it's what cancel culture is based on. Also most of the world is *way* more liberal than the US (what the US calls a liberal is a conservative in a lot of other nations), so the US is just lagging behind and conceivably will catch up eventually. The right is winning in one important respect though: politically the senate and the presidency are both Republican, and with this current dictator of a president and the right's death grip on power they're pretty much doing anything they want (or at least anything the president wants), especially along the lines of serving the large corporations, killing the environment, taking away protections, etc.

Only rural rubes are Republican but no thanks to gerymandering, they send more people to Congress than we do.

Wieselmann:
Do you know what a transistor is?

ColorStorm:
Yes. It's a sandwich of substances, one type of substance in the center and another type on each side. All the substances are doped with something. The purpose is to amplify electrical signals (or it can also work as an on-off switch--same function, different way of using it). The voltage applied to the center substance determines how much electricity passes across the other two substances. Transistors are used in virtually all electronics and are the basis for all microprocessors. Before transistors, this function was accomplished by vacuum tubes, which were much bigger, slower, less efficient, and more prone to burnout. Transistors in modern CPUs are the size of microns. They're so small and there are so many of them (tens of billions) in a single CPU that the factories that create them cost billions of dollars each. In other circuits they can be big enough to grab between your fingers.

ColorStorm:
The transistor was invented by the people at AT&T, or so the story goes

Which country do you like more-France or Germany?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I've been to France, I haven't been to Germany except for a couple of hours during a layover. I like France because everyone there is pretty and because they're so sexually liberated (at least compared to us) and I think they have the prettiest-sounding language. But when I was in Germany I seemed to feel this this energy about it, which I assume is the energy of its people, and I liked it and really resonated with it. I felt like I could be right at home there and relate well to its people, and that could be ultimately more important than all those things I like about France, but I don't really have enough experience with Germany to be sure about it.

I've had enough psychic experiences to know that we're all connected/not 100% separate, and if we're all connected then there should be broader and broader/higher and higher levels of connection until you get to the unity of all beings, which is God. That's just one reason, though, the other reason I explained in my OKCupid profile under "The first time I truly believed in a higher power was:" at https://www.okcupid.com/profile/AirCastle333 Actually, on second thought, let me copy it here: I was raised Christian; I went to Christian schools from kindergarten to 9th grade. Somewhere around Age 17 I started to question some of the precepts of Christianity and used my own reasoning and decided they didn't make sense. After a year or two of struggling with the fear of eternal damnation for apostatizing, I finally came to be at one with my apostasy. I think that was a big step for me and shows how strongly independent-thinking I am, because most people never give up Christianity (or, probably, any religion) once they're raised on it no matter how smart they are. I wondered for a while thereafter whether there really is a God, whether we're all just atoms bouncing around in a purely physical universe, etc. When I came across the book 'Conversations with God' by Neale Donald Walsch (which isn't coming from a religious mindset, but rather spiritualist), I was struck by a couple of things. One was the utter purity of the energy of God's portions of the dialog. I'd never encountered an intelligent being so pure before. And to explain the second thing, I have to start with the fact that I'm very good at recognizing flaws on all levels, especially or at least in writing, including intentions, grammar, word choice, etc. (not saying I'm perfect either in these domains), and God's portions of the dialog in the book (actually, in all of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversations_with_God#Dialogue_Books_series ) were all, amazingly, flawless on all levels. This was amazing to me because it was the first time I'd ever encountered perfectly flawless writing in my life. Taking the Dialogue Books series as a whole, it probably remains the only time.

Do you like kids? Would you want to have your own? If you have them already, what are the best and worst parts of having them?

ColorStorm:
I like kids, they're adorable and precious. Though after a certain age they can be real assholes to other kids, especially the males. It would be neat and tempting to have one of my own with someone, but I wouldn't be a good parent, and I don't believe in bringing new people into this terrible world.

what is the difference between a fetish and a preference? :)

ColorStorm:
Like Shitlord said, fetishes tend to be more specific. They also tend to be weird or unusual. Indirect, perverted, kinky, whatever. I guess whether liking Asians is a preference or a fetish depends on *why* you like them and maybe *how much* you like them more than other races.

i'd rather be hated for what i am than loved for something i'm not. What do you think of this statement? :)

ColorStorm:
I think being hated for what you are being loved for what you're not both suck ass. I might even go so far as to say the former is worse.. though there's something to be said about the fact that the latter requires a lack of integrity. I want to believe that a person can always be loved for what they are because whatever traits are despicable that a person has aren't part of their core self. But then, on the other hand, people are hated by society for no fault of their own all the time.

Wieselmann:
When do you think you will be completly forgotten and nobody will think about you ever again from that day on?

ColorStorm:
Probably at a little less than one lifetime after my death, because that would be when it's guaranteed that nobody who will have known me will still be alive. For example, when I'm 75 I might happen to know someone who's 10 (such as a relative) and they'll be dead 60 or so years after I'm dead. On the other hand I might be all alone or in a place where there are no young people later in life so it might be sooner that everyone forgets me. Of course, this is all under the hypothetical that I won't do achieve anything really notable in my life.

I may have explored some virtual reality worlds before that like Second Life et al, but I don't know if those count as games.

ColorStorm:
I knew that toddlers and girls of all ages sometimes stimulate their private parts, not sure if they all-out masturbate per se. Not sure about boys. Most girls seem to say that they started masturbating around 8-9 years old. Also I agree with Asouza's sentiments about sexuality in general.

I still remember my grandmother's phone number from when I would call my cousin there when I was a kid. 226-3618.

At around 7th grade (7th? 8th? 9th? IDR) we had this really pretty teacher, Mrs. Johnson, who would flirt with her students. I have a few good stories, but here's one of them.. she and this muscular 7th- (or whatever-) grader that she would flirt with were talking about her scar between her breasts and how it makes it uncomfortable to wear clothes there so she shows a lot of cleavage.. and she added, out of nowhere, enthusiastically, "Sometimes I can't stand to wear anything at all!!"

Do you consider depression to be a more rampant issue of modern times? (Have you ever experienced this phenomenon?) If so, how long was it till you felt better?

I think the people who say depression levels haven't changed are perhaps out of touch in this regard. I think there are way too many depressed people for this to be normal/natural; I think it makes sense given how pathological society is; I think whatever direction society is going in that's diverged from the state of nature, it's been going further and further in that direction ever since; and I've heard of more and more people being depressed over my lifetime.

Do you ever have dreams with sexual content or at least hugging and kissing, stuff like that?

ColorStorm:
Yes, all the time, though the sexual ones tend to get pretty deranged. I still cringe every time I think about.. no, no, I can't even say it. There's also hugging in my dreams and sometimes--usually, actually--I enjoy a sensual hug from a beautiful girl more than sex. Hugging girls in my dreams is actually the best part of my life. In my dreams I can't even feel my penis when it's in a vagina anymore for some reason, so I usually finger them instead (that feels real AF!). When I was growing up the only thing I wanted to do in life (other than sexual stuff) was kiss a girl. I obsessed over it daily. But my emotions broke before long and by the time I got to kiss a girl it was too late to enjoy it at all. (Same with sex.) So I *usually* don't bother kissing girls in dreams, but sometimes I try just in case.

Wasserpistole:
I maybe had 6 dreams in my life I can remember where something went on but never really sexual. Hugging and feeling, that's it.

But then some time I decided it's a good idea in case there's some kind of emergency or in case I get harassed by the cops, don't want to have to stand there for 15 minutes because I don't have id (it happened to me once).

What are wars to you, what do they mean? / Was sind Kriege für dich? Was haben sie für eine Bedeutung?

ColorStorm:
It's like any other strife and conflict but on a national level. People can't just resolve their differences through discussion and coming to an agreement about what's best for everybody because they don't care about that, only what's best for themselves. They're selfish. Wars are the product of nationalism which is selfism on a collective level. To be fair, though, I think maybe those in charge of state are often more pro-war than the general populace, but they follow their orders because that's the power structure that's in place. So to a degree, wars represent the whims of dictators, corporations, etc. who are willing to put thousands of people through nightmarish trauma and death to achieve their goals.

I don't know what's wrong with people that are shocked if a person is a virgin in his or her 30s. THAT shocks people! Man, we are a sad species. But what do you think about all that?

ColorStorm:
I can understand being shocked at someone being a virgin in their 30s. Just because it *is* a very unusual situation. Extremely rare things are shocking just by virtue of being unusual. And I say this as someone who didn't have sex until Age 28. I don't think it means the species is sad at all. There's nothing wrong with placing importance on having sex. Sex is healthy, natural, and somewhat necessary for the psyche. It's an act of intimacy.

Is "be the change you want to see" a sucker's gambit? It seems like unethical people want to push ideas like these so they can act without fear of reprisal. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GTQlnmWCPgA

ColorStorm:
I never thought of it that way, though I guess I can imagine such scenarios (I didn't view the video). I see it as a positive thing, taking action when you have a (positive) vision for the world rather than sitting back and waiting for someone else to do it. Also maybe the spiritual trope that everything in your world arises from within you is true. (If it's not, then I can see it being a sucker's gambit in some cases for the same reasons that the Categorical Imperative isn't always logical, i.e. you yourself may be powerless to make the change and trying will just be a wasted effort, or at least trying by embodying the change rather than trying to convince masses of people and/or people in powerful positions.

ColorStorm:
it takes humility, which is hard to come by. and it makes you vulnerable. maybe they don't want to be rejected for being wrong or being perceived of having done wrong? i'm not sure. but maybe it's more that rightness in all its various forms is seen as a commodity, only one person can be right in a dispute and you want to be the one that's it, because of ego (we attach our sense of being right to our sense of being good), and because to be wrong is to be blamed, or to lose.

You are walking home in the dark and you see something move, What/Who is it (guess)? What do you do?

ColorStorm:
I figure it's a possum, a raccoon, or a cat because we have a lot of those around here. When I get up to it I see that it was a raccoon, but the strange thing is that it's dead, and it couldn't have just died because it's bloated and there are maggots eating away at its carcass. Although it was dark, there was moonlight, house lights and street lights so I could tell for sure that it was *that thing* that moved. I stand there with goosebumps, confused and probably blushing as my heart races and I feel the intense energy of fear and the unknown radiating into/out of my skin. I stand there for some time just to get myself recombobulated, then continue walking home while wondering what the hell just happened.. I tell people the story later on, and they all have suggestions as to what I could have seen move instead of the dead raccoon, but I insist that I could see well enough to tell that it couldn't possibly have been anything else. They don't believe me, but it's probably just as well; the alternative to them thinking of possible scenarios where I could have been fooled is for them to think I'm crazy.

Why are rape scenes in movies more scandalous than murder scenes?

ColorStorm:
Because the people who are murdered are all dead so there's less rage surrounding that crime; because we've been desensitized to murder in movies; because rape is a cultural sore spot because it deeply ties into the war between the sexes, the power imbalance, female suppression, and so many rapists get away with it so women are virtually powerless against this phenomenon. Also like someone else said it may be that it encourages more men to rape, I'm not sure if that's part of it or not.

If you don't know much about a topic, sure you are still allowed to have an opinion on it, but is that opinion worth anything?

IMO someone can easily be correct about something without knowing a lot about it, depending on the subject and the person. Though having a correct opinion isn't necessarily the same as that opinion being worth something. It's worth something if you can convince other and make a difference, and for that, knowing a lot about the subject helps a lot. Sometimes you can make a good, purely philosophical argument though.

The average US college graduate has ~$30k in student loan debt. What portion of the blame can be placed on the system for allowing inflated college costs, and what portion can go towards students making poor financial choices?

ColorStorm:
I don't know enough on the issue to answer fully, but one thing I would like to point out is that this debt issue has apparently changed (increased) a lot in the past few years. So either The System got worse and started exploiting students more, or young people just became less responsible for some reason. The former seems a lot more likely to me. (I realize my logic isn't perfectly sound - the system could be seen to have changed in the direction of providing a context by which the perennial irresponsibility of young people finally has consequences in this domain. But..eh.{

I saw a video of a girl who goes to climate strikes every friday and she said that she used to get the best grades always and now is one of the worst students in her class. She said its worth it because its bout saving her future. What do you think?

ColorStorm:
I sharply disagree with Pandy's and MistyRiver's answers. What she's doing for the environment *is* more important than her grades. She's thinking about the big picture. Getting good grades in school, at her age, isn't "saving oneself." She'll survive whether she gets good grades or not. People treat school as if it's a moral issue or as if getting good grades = doing well in life, while the reality is that school is just some miserable drudgery that we force children to go through because the world is fucked up. And even if she were seriously jeopardizing her future by not getting good grades (which I don't think she is), she's consciously making a huge personal sacrifice for the sake of the planet. There's nothing wrong with that, that's beautiful. Sometimes we make sacrifices for things that are greater than us. In some cases people even go so far as to make the *ultimate* sacrifice, which she's not doing, yet nobody questions people's wisdom when they do that. Also, I would turn Pandy's answer around and ask, "how can she save herself if she can't save her future?" In other words, what good is getting good grades going to do if climate change is going to fuck us all over in a couple of decades?

misty_river:
Not sure how my answer implies that education is the only moral matter one should care about. I said if this is what she hopes to make her life's work -- great

misty_river:
But if this is a side thing she wants to do, yes, it could very well jeopardize her future. Saying "she'll survive" doesn't cut it if it means you don't have

misty_river:
the tools this life demands of you in order to get ahead. That's reality.What if she's low-income? What if her parents can't provide for her forever? What then?

misty_river:
Often those in activism work for non-profit organizations, which means their source of income has to come from elsewhere. Idealism isn't survival.

misty_river:
Which is why I said *balance* is important. Of course you shouldn't prioritize education alone. Fighting for the world matters. But not if it's at your expense

Is Liam Neeson a racist for you? (He explained that after a close friend of his got raped by a black man he wanted to take revenge and kill a black guy, any black guy that happened 40 years ago)

ColorStorm:
It's stupid to judge people for things they said or thought 40 years ago, at least when it comes to racism. Attitudes were a lot different then, and one thing people refuse to look at even today is the extent to which our attitudes and beliefs are molded by popular culture. Another reason people are likely to jump on someone who has said (or thought) something racist in the distant past is that we're so "woke" nowadays that the PC mob is actually *triggered* by any instance or suggestion of racism, no matter how irrelevant.

Devil's advocate the border issue is complicated Canada is very strict with their borders a lot of countries are,, it's not unreasonable for the U.S to be.is it because trump went about it in a racist way, does that change the issue?

ColorStorm:
Not only that he went about it in a racist way, but that building a wall is the least effective and most expensive way to secure the border. But Trump doesn't go on facts and analysis, just pure shoot-from-the-hip emotion. As for whether the racism changes the issue, I think it does because you can't separate the racist fallout of the wall campaign, the encouragement of racism (which was Trump's actual intention and/or motivation), from the simple fact of being strict with immigration and its consequences.

Did you know there's a fourth type of chocolate (Ruby cacao) that was introduced in 2017? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_chocolate

ColorStorm:
I'm skeptical of it being that significant, considering how many different variations of chocolate there are out there and considering that it's the company themselves that call it "the fourth type" of chocolate ("It is _marketed as_ the "fourth" type of chocolate"--Wikipedia) I guess I'd try it if I came across it though, but I probably wouldn't like it very much since apparently it has most in common with milk chocolate and white chocolate.

ZouBisouBisou:
It's made from a distinct cacao bean though, so it certainly fits the bill. I just bought some Ruby cacao magnum bars and while not bad, I don't think I'd buy

ZouBisouBisou:
Them again. They sorta taste like bitter somewhat tart raspberry with notes of chocolate. Almost like a rhubarb cream.

What is your favorite halloween candy? Reeses are always my favorite:)

ColorStorm:
I used to have a favorite, but now I can't remember what it was. Either that or I don't like *any* Halloween candy anymore. I liked Reese's a long, long time ago, but now they just taste like chemicals to me. I used to love Mounds and Almond Joy, but they're too sweet for me now.

ColorStorm:
Windows Update is rarely a problem for me, and I like the feature improvements (at least theoretically--I've never seen them work for some reason) and I guess it's important to get security updates.. though it does seem like Microsoft is treating us like sheople by making the updates mandatory.

Kate:
Then what is a must for you? Cheese?

Cheese whenever possible, but it's not like I won't eat it otherwise. I also like pickles, ketchup and mustard. The only must is *some* kind of sauce (such as

Wieselmann:
Is it immoral to be rich?

ColorStorm:
With so many people destitute and starving? With so many causes that need desperately donations? I don't know if i'd go so far as to say it's immoral, but it's definitely not as gracious as one can be. And it's symptomatic of the fact that everyone lives in their own personal bubble of sorts.. I guess the only exception to this is if you're rich so that you can continue to donate, as it takes money to make money.

Spudella:
Is old age just degrading with no dignity? Apart from growing old with someone I love I just cant see the point right now .

ColorStorm:
I don't see it as being without dignity per se, well I guess it depends, if you're incontinent, can't take care of yourself, have Alzheimer's, or whatever then it could be without dignity. But I think dignity is overrated anyway, it's based in ego. But I do agree with you -- getting old is just falling apart slowly. I'm not looking forward to it.

Spudella:
I dont agree that dignity is over rated. Even my cat likes to pee in private. A sense of autonomy is one of the most crucial aspects of dignity.

Spudella:
The term ego is thrown about and I doubt anyone can define it consistently.

ColorStorm:
Autonomy is definitely important, I can't disagree with that. I agree that ego is kind of a nebulous concept. Many different definitions of it .

Wasserpistole:
A quote by Dr. Jordan Peterson "People develop an ideological view of the world because they don't want to think through things in real detail" Is he right in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
He's missing a factor: people don't want to admit to themselves that things aren't all black and white. Taking a side is easy; you know what's good and what's bad, who the good guys are and who the bad guys are; it's clear what to support and what to fight against, what's working for you and what's working against you. It makes imagining a solution a lot easier. As for the detail.. I think there's only so much detail a person is capable of exploring. You kinda have to simplify things.

I have 2 or 3 boxes & milk crates full of them. I got them from flea markets, consignment stores, etc. Not that I'm not old enough to remember when they were popular. I still remember when CDs came out. The cats have used my records as scratching posts though so the sleeves are all worn down along the top seams. =/ I also have two original Edison records that are cylindrical from an antique store. And some extra old, extra thick flat records from another antique store.

Evil, toxic, disconnected from life. Some factual parallels with parasites doesn't make a fetus a parasite in spirit. And the fact that a fetus isn't *technically* a parasite speaks to the motivations and mindset of those who highlight those parallels by calling it it that.

ColorStorm:
This kind of sh-t is so ridiculous (again, cancel culture). First, the opinion of one of the actors has nothing to do with the quality of a movie (and it's not a big deal enough to punish her for it), and second, she must have had her reasons for supporting the police (even if she happens to be 'wrong') - I doubt she just likes brutalizing citizens.. people aren't allowed to have non-group-opinions these days. =/

Do negative thoughts cause negative emotions or do negative emotions cause negative thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I've heard that emotions start with thoughts, what you think a situation means / how you interpret it, but the sponsoring thoughts are too fast and automatic to notice. It kinda makes sense because how could you what a situation means, whether it's good or bad, without an interpretive phase and you'd think there's way more than one way to interpret a situation/event. Anyway, if it's true then I guess the negative thought comes first, but I think negative emotions can cause negative thoughts too. I'm sure it's often a vicious cycle.

ColorStorm:
We don't have toaster, we have a toaster oven and I have to check on the bread once in a while because I'm never sure how long to put it on for. (The numbers are completely gone off the dial now too.) So I guess I take it out when it looks done but it can be deceiving. As for the microwave, I always wait til the last second is over, because taking it out early seems too arbitrary. Like what's the point of speeding it up by 1 second? And where does it end? Will I take it out 2 seconds early the next time? Then 3? Then 4? Etc.?

What are your thoughts on this? Are people too selfish and inconsiderate to self-govern? https://i.imgur.com/gMALBOD.jpg

ColorStorm:
I think people are too selfish and inconsiderate to self-govern, that's why we need government to give us some amount of security and facilitate cooperation in building and upholding a civilization on a mass scale. But that's probably only because we have so many people packed so tightly together. The Native Americans didn't need government (at least not in the way we have it--even they needed chiefs). Also I think a lot of what we normally ascribe to "human nature" (like being selfish and inconsiderate) is actually determined my cultural momentum. Given the right cultural momentum, maybe we could have mass cooperation without coercion. I don't agree with the shopping cart thing as a litmus test. I usually don't bring my shopping cart back up to the store, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I consider it the employees' jobs to go out and collect the carts once in a while. That's part of what they're paid for. And when we go shopping we pay them to do that with the markup on the products we buy. So bringing the shopping cart back is a nice thing to do, but it's not immoral not to. A better litmus test would be whether people throw their empty bottles out on the grass/sidewalk, like here: https://twitter.com/cctv_idiots/status/1259930126969638912 . There may be someone whose job it is to come around and pick that stuff up now and then, but it's not *expected* that everyone throws their trash on the ground. It's illegal for a reason. So the many have to pay for the few who do it anyway.

require that the whole populace have a higher perspective on life.

- sometimes psychiatric medication is necessary, but it's overused.. mental problems aren't fundamentally caused by chemistry

ColorStorm:
- it's not just psychiatric medication that's overrated, it's many, many medications, at least in the US

Andy:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being terrified, 10 being excited) how do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence?

ColorStorm:
I don't think we'll ever invent artificial general intelligence because it's not possible, general intelligence requires the inspiration of consciousness/life which is intertwined with the whole cosmos, so I'm not too worried. I do think it's silly how everyone puts their stakes in AI saving us, regardless of whether it's possible or not. It's just another example of rampant technologistic thinking. We don't need more technology to save us, nor more intelligence.. we need to be more conscientious, sacrificing and generous all around,, and, more urgently, we need to put the work and sacrifice into saving the environment. *That's* what will save us. The obvious, simple things that we just don't want to do. I said AGI is impossible, but there is one thing that scares me. We may develop AGI through the use of actual neural networks, i.e. life, customized integrated into machines. This is a serious ethical concern...it's hard to say what the quality of life of enslaved neural networks would be. Brains may not be the source of consciousness, but either way we know that consciousness exists where central nervous systems do, so it stands to reason that an enslaved neural network would be conscious too. And it doesn't even necessarily have to be the kind of neural network used in bodies to be conscious...there's something about biological neural networks that gives rise to consciousness/awareness, and that principle could potentially be manifest in other analogous things that nature just didn't happen to evolve. So there's an unknown range of possible "artificial" intelligence machines that could cause misery, pain and suffering. Ethical concerns surrounding robots that are just digital algorithms are silly though. Consciousness cannot be an algorithm (which is why AGI can't exist). The actual processes in a computer running an AI algorithm are essentially the same as one running Pac-Man (and we wouldn't say Pac-Man is conscious or can feel), the only difference is which opcodes are executed in what order.

Would you like to have a cup of Dallmayr prodomo?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I just read up on it and apparently they take out the bitterness. I like coffee but I don't like the bitterness, so I'd like to see what it tastes like without the bitterness. I'd heard of coffee before that's like $50 a cup where the beans are taken from the poop of a certain animal whose digestive track removes the bitterness, and I'd been thinking for a while that I'd like to try that, just once, to see what it tastes like. I guess this is the same thing but chemically processed and cheaper.

ColorStorm:
I bought some on Amazon, it was bitter. =p

This is funny. Before I asked that question, I read that some guy wrote he is drinking it right now and that it is the mildest coffee he has ever had. :-)

i saw a fat girl on the cover of cosmo, *No she's a normal size* No she's fat, she's morbidly obese.. are we going too far with the acceptance thing? there are health reasons to lose weight to ya know.

ColorStorm:
Being fat is not only unhealthy, it's a grotesque and absurd-looking distortion/abuse of the human form. There's a very popular movement to normalize it and glorify it now, and the movement has one reason: being fat is now extremely popular. The more people are overweight or obese, the more people will be behind an agenda of trying to make it appear flawless. I'm not saying we should shame fat people, they have enough pain as it is, and they're a product of a severely dysfunctional society that causes food addiction due to lack of spiritual fulfillment, and of an exploitative food industry that loads everything with addictive substances like sugar and fat. But neither should we lose our minds and pretend that being fat isn't a gross distortion of the human form.

Do you think it is fair to pay early-stage artists with "exposure" rather than with money? Or is it cheap? What's your onion?

ColorStorm:
I think it's usually a dick move. I've seen tons of stories of artists being annoyed and putting a$$holes who suggest working for free for exposure in their place. If you pay them, you give them due compensation for their work *and* they get the exposure they need. I wouldn't proposition an artist to do something for free "for exposure," I think the best thing to do is only consider that option if the artist is offering it (do artists ever offer it?).

Wieselmann:
Compulsory vaccinations-yay or nay?

ColorStorm:
Strong nay. Those who think we should be jailed, tranquilized, etc. for not complying are seethingly angry totalitarians. But then, I'm angry too. Like I said in another post, I could see myself in some nearby parallel realities fighting *to the death* for my right to choose what chemicals get or don't get injected into my body. The ironic thing is that pro-vaxxers talk as if anti-vaxxers just need to be educated, while if pro-vaxxers had the most basic education about vaccines themselves they'd know that there are plenty of *real* dangers to them; that's not conspiracy theory, that's known fact. So at the very least we should be able to choose what happens to our own bodies. (Ironically the same people who are anti-choice when it comes to vaccines, presumably to save lives, are pro-choice regarding what we do with our own bodies when it comes to murdering fetuses. Make up your minds... should we have autonomy over our bodies or not?) Either way, even if vaccines weren't known to have serious dangers associated with them, having something injected into your body is *way* too personal/intrusive a procedure to make it mandatory. And not to mention that the more we use medicine to manipulate our bodies and protect ourselves from diseases (not just germs, but diseases of all kinds) the more our species becomes biologically dependent on medical technology. The weaker we become and the less hope we ever have of living a natural life. The reason so many people are so passionately for vaccines and mandatory vaccination is that we, as a society, have collective PTSD regarding past epidemics so we're unable to think rationally about the matter. Also we're not yet aware that death is not the end of life, so we're mortally terrified of death. https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2019/09/14/whats-the-matter-with-vaccines/

Spudella:
Why does everyone want us to let go of resentment etc..? What if its warranted? Shouldnt injustice be highlighted? When Jesus said 'turn the other cheek' I believe he meant it as an act of defiance.

ColorStorm:
I'm reminded of a quote: "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." -Buddhaghosa There are different ways of highlighting injustice. I think the best way is just to make the perpetrator aware of what they've done. That's all you can really do. Resentment and hatred are just negative energies that will hurt both sides and probably bind you together karmically. Or if you think they *deserve* to be hurt, I'd say that *nobody* deserves to be hurt, that's just schadenfreude. Insofar as anybody "deserves" anything, everybody deserves what's best for everybody involved. I wrote more about hatred at https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2017/02/05/is-hatred-ever-truly-justified/

No, and it's annoying when people think that it is. It's not racist to have personal aesthetic preferences. It's like saying I'm sexist for not wanting to date guys. As for the second question, that sounds a little more racist. It doesn't have to be logically, but the wording of it seems to indicate a probable racist.

Before the internet I spent a lot of time on BBS's. Before that I watched a lot of television, rode my bicycle around the neighborhood, played with a couple of friends around the neighborhood, played with the antlions at the side of the house, played with the hose, dug holes in the dirt and filled them with water and put dirt on top of the water to make it look like normal ground, etc. etc.

Spudella:
Sounds like fun :). Digging holes is fun.

Spudella:
were u hoping people would fall in though?

ColorStorm:
they were small holes, way too small to fall into. but i think i liked the idea that i could theoretically trick people with them, hehe.

ColorStorm:
one time i dug a hole for no reason right outside my clubhouse and found a tusk.

Spudella:
Like a big huge one? from what animal? crikey. Thats like something prehistoric unless someone had brought one back from India.

Spudella:
I just remembered I used to be afraid of holes as a kid. I thought maybe if u dug too deep youd reach hell.

Spudella:
Maybe holes in the ground are symbolic of us digging into the dark unconscious.

Spudella:
you found treasure in yours. thats kinda cool.

ColorStorm:
i like your insight about the subconscious/unconscious, i think there's probably some truth to it. i don't know what animal the tusk was from. it was probably

somewhere between 8 inches and a foot long, i don't remember

It's silly af, and it's just yet another celebrity naming their child something extravagant.. It's a phenomenon, and I'm not sure what's behind it.. I suspect that it has something to do with celebrities being deathly afraid of being everyday losers, and on some level they know their children are unlikely to be celebrities when they grow up, so they give them an exotic name to make them stand out because it's the best they can do.

ColorStorm:
Also I guess they didn't know (or don't care?) that people with exotic names are a lot more bullied by other children

Something indeed like corn, only that kind of popcorn, made from sorghum, is smaller and they say, much healthier.

I'd definitely try it but I probably wouldn't end up eating it regularly because I'm not a big fan of popcorn to begin with.

A couple of years ago, I heard what sounded like a whole group of cats meowing in distress over and over, far away, so I kept walking down the street trying to find them. But no matter how far I walked the sounds didn't seem any closer. I eventually gave up and walked back home. I was barefoot. I got huge blisters on both my feet and had to walk on my heels for a few days afterward. It turns out the "cats" were a particular species of bird that lives around here now that makes a call that sounds exactly like a cat.

is it true: when a woman changes radically her hairstyle then she suffered from a great loss and changes her life?

ColorStorm:
I've seen that trope a lot: A women goes through a breakup or divorce or something and cuts her hair, to symbolize the beginning of a new life or something like that. I'm sure sometimes women radically change their hairstyle out of nowhere for other reasons (or maybe even for no reason), but I don't know what the ratios are.

I sort of did when I worked at Publix. He was a really skinny guy with a really fat girlfriend, and one of the other workers always picked on him. One time I accidentally spilled a bunch of boxes or something all over the thin walkway in the back, and he helped me pick them up. Great guy. He then quit and worked for some other store, Target or Walmart or something, and I'd see him there now and then at a cash register and wave and he'd wave back.

Tell me something about yourself that I don't know and can't reasonably guess about you...

ColorStorm:
I technically have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, but it's not normal schizophrenia, I don't have delusions or hear voices on a regular basis. But if I don't take any anti-psychotic medication for a few months/years then eventually I suddenly start to spiritually awaken and then it quickly evolves into psychosis and delusion. Based on what I've read I think it's "acute exhaustive psychosis."

Wow, must have been a real struggle at times!

Spudella:
Did you know that what you perceive as hard or soft is actually mostly empty space?

ColorStorm:
On a subatomic level, there's no such thing as solidity. Particles are merely fields that taper off the further you get from them indefinitely. So therefore the entire phenomenon/concept of solidity itself is strictly a macroscopic thing. I made an argument once that that means that things are not actually less solid than we think, but more so. But I don't remember what the argument was now. =/

Spudella:
I was referring to the fact that within the atom are a few particles crowded round a nucleus but I read that it's like a few tennis balls in a football field

Spudella:
So there's All this empty space

I have a brother, he is 18 I am 33 and we never had a single fight in our lives, or an argument, never anything. Can't say that for any member of the rest of my family. Do you have a family member like that?

ColorStorm:
When the older of my two sisters (but still younger than me) was little we used to fight a lot, because she'd intentionally annoy me, but in our adult lives we've virtually never had an argument or fight. I mean there was one time, but I wasn't really myself--I was psychotic. My dad and I have practically never fought either, but that's just because the abuse was always one-sided; I was too terrified of him to argue back. Still am. (It would be different if I didn't live in his house and rely on him in other ways.)

Wasserpistole:
That counts also as fights, with your father. It was the same with my father.

What are your thoughts on catfish (those who identify as someone they are not)?

ColorStorm:
That covers a wide range of people. Like BEN says, it depends on their intentions. Catfish who try to scam others are scum of the earth, IMHO. Another heinous reason for catfishing would be to lure someone into meeting you in private on a date or something and then rob them, rape them, kill them, or whatever. Other than that I think catfish aren't totally ethical but they're relatively harmless, save for maybe causing some people huge disappointments.

Don't see him much anymore, and when I do he doesn't tend to notice me. I was just a bit disappointed that he stole so much from us, slashed all our tires, etc., but it didn't make me hate him like it did my dad.

You can never tell any semblance of a story from a trailer. I guess it's because they want to give away as little of the plot as possible.

What are your thoughts on prostitution?

ColorStorm:
It's unfortunate that some women have no other option but to sell themselves, but it's great that the option exists for guys who need sex and can't get it in the conventional way. Also I think it's almost irrelevant whether we like prostitution or not, because just given human nature prostitution is something that's necessarily gonna be there. Also I think it should be legal because as long as people are doing it it might as well be made safe for everyone involved.

I think so. I don't think there's any way around it. The good news is that evil doesn't have to exist in such quantity as it does here and now. And also, I think evil only has to exist in one place in the universe for everybody to reap its benefits through contrast.

It's too convenient not to think about the suffering in the rest of the world, and if humans are proficient in anything it's convenience. (Myself included..

Penis envy is because guys are dominant and the patriarchy. Vagina envy is because women are the fairer sex and more desirable sex so depressed guys want to be women to get them out of their funk.

Idk, it can be illuminating, but maybe primarily just for the purpose of satisfying curiosity about what's going on in one's mind. The purpose of a dream isn't to be analyzed, it's to be experienced and all the consequences of that experience, and analyzing them can be misleading.

ZouBisouBisou:
Which of these philosophies do you identify with the most: https://i.imgur.com/1w43wah.jpg

ColorStorm:
Definitely not the Sith, they cause too much destruction, oppression and suffering. Not the Greys, because I think the idea of a balance between good and evil is cartoony and ridiculous and would only exist in a world where evil is rife. And not the Jedi because they don't believe in emotion or passion (in this gif). It's too hard to choose between Grey and Jedi. Allow evil to exist, which causes untold suffering, or do away with emotion and passion? I think the gif is poorly worded, e.g. "there is no ignorance", I can see the Jedi being against ignorance but why would they not believe in its existence? And I'm not a Star Wars expert, but I think it probably captures the philosophy of the Jedi pretty poorly.

Grey Jedi seem the most pragmatic to me.

It may be classism that makes the ultra-wealthy feel justified in taking advantage of everybody else, and the ultra-wealthy effectively buy legislation that makes things worse for everybody.

Thoughts on this woman who defended her dissertation in a "quinceañera" dress? https://twitter.com/olgabot/status/1260259829576118272?s=19

ColorStorm:
I don't know what to think of it because I don't know why she did it. Did she want to emphasize her femininity to show that girls can also do science? Did she want to look all dolled up to prove that you can have beauty and brains? Or did she just want to feel special as Christine Liu said? Either way, I have no problem with it. What does annoy me is these people like skylarkim and christineliuart just *looking* for things to complain about, defending an ethnicity that probably, for the most part, couldn't care less or is happy for the exposure and praise if anything. "Cultural appropriation" is just sharing and honoring.

nachopee:
You can check her twitter if you're interested in understanding why she did it, but she calls the dress a gimmick at some point which in my onion doesn't sound

Isn't it better to just not to want and feel. Their two things really fuck you up.

ColorStorm:
As someone who doesn't feel a lot, my opinion is that if you're not feeling you're not really living. As for not wanting, apparently that's the result of enlightenment but enlightenment isn't easy. And either way, whether it's enlightenment or not, I wonder if not having any desire is killing a part of yourself.

ColorStorm:
(perhaps with enlightenment the relinquishment of desire is holy, while without it it's a killing oneself, and perhaps one can fool oneself into thinking it's

ColorStorm:
enlightenment when it's not, or perhaps even enlightenment is killing oneself, i don't know)

Drowning seems like it would be both terrifying and agonizing. I don't want to die that way. But then, most ways of dying are probably terrifying and agonizing.

misty_river:
What are your thoughts on people referring to words like "stupid" and "dumbass" as ableist terms? Do you agree or disagree with this? Y or Y NOT?

ColorStorm:
Well, on one hand, when people call others stupid or dumbass, it's more than just a derogatory term for having low intelligence. It's usually because they're angry at them for some other reason. So calling them stupid or dumbass is just a way to vent and you could say that calling it ableist is SJWing. On the other hand, the fact that these are the derogatory terms people use is revealing. It shows how lowly we think of people with low intelligence, even though our intelligence level presumably is completely out of our control. I don't know if people of low intelligence are especially hurt by the popular use of the terms "stupid" and "dumbass", I don't know if they associate those insults with their own social challenges. "Stupid" people, as in people who aren't profoundly challenged but do irritatingly stupid things, don't know they're stupid. And those who have profoundly low intelligence are probably not called "stupid" or "dumbass" very often because they exist in their own category.

What do you think about a slice of prosciutto around a piece of honeydew melon?

What kind of pics do you mostly get sent privately from people? My old phone has a bizarre mix of memes, penises, a pic of self harmed sliced wrists ( he's fine now), food, alcohol, cars, new haircuts, mirror pics, bathroom pics, cats.

ColorStorm:
Occasionally I get pictures from family about family stuff, but not very often. Other than that, I can only think of one person who sends me pictures in private, and she sends me porn and nudes of herself.

I just can't watch other people have sex.

I guess it's rest, but it's not a nice rest. It's a compromise.

Wieselmann:
Would you consider getting your brain and body frozen when you die for the case that you could be revived in the future?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I believe we most likely have an afterlife, so I'm not sure how that pans out when you're off to other venues far away and then suddenly your old body is brought back online.. are you obligated to fill it? What if you don't want to? Does somebody else fill it? Or does some part of you go and fill it, given how vast we really are? And I loathe this life and am beginning to loathe this world and don't want to spend any more time in it anyway. Though it would be fascinating to find out what the future's like... but I think the novelty and learning would probably wear off in a few months.

Wieselmann:
What is your favorite term of endearment?

ColorStorm:
I have a thing against other people calling each other "baby," it's kind of weird because we're not infants and why are we infantilizing each other, and also because it's so generic, everyone in a relationship calls each other baby.. but I have to say that if a girl called me baby I'd probably like it. But not as much as if she called me honey. I think honey is sweeter, implies more of a commitment, and even the most immature people in the most dysfunctional relationships call each other baby.

Is it okay for you if an 18 year old woman has a sexual relationship with a 35+ year old man?

ColorStorm:
Yes. People say it's a problem because of the difference in maturity level, but it's just a difference. There's no reason people who are different from each other in any given way can't intermingle. It's kind of like saying black people and white people shouldn't date because they're so different from each other. Besides, women mature earlier than men do. And a lot of girls prefer older men because they treat them so much better than guys their age. I'm especially happy for the man in this scenario. Regardless of what some people want you to think, youth really is beauty, so he's lucky.

Yes, Suzanne Vega once retweeted a tweet of mine. =) and she's liked a bunch of others. all tweets I made to her. =P I don't know why I care what celebrities think so much, I mean, I know they're only people, but.. somehow I do, just like most other people.

EVERYTHING. They're fear-based, discompassionate, selfish, their morals are from the Middle Ages, they're nationalistic, they do everything they can to thwart true democracy to stay in power (that's the only way they can stay in power since they're in the minority), they're on the side of big corporations and bring us closer to plutocracy, etc.

I often say things are "neat", and one time I said that to my friend he said it made me sound like an old fart or something like that.. I never realized "neat" was so outdated, but it's true that I picked it up in my childhood and I'm 42 now. So I'd like "neat" to come back so that I can say what comes naturally to me without sounding old af. =P

Is a Sunday morning mood that consists of a want to get someone to stroke my hair a vanity, sloth or damnable lust? I cannot decide.

It may be a lust, but not a damnable one, IMO. It's something we were made for. =) Sundays are made for sloth. It *could* be a vanity, depending on other factors / who you are. I don't know. I'd stroke your hair. =p I've been wanting to stroke a pretty girl's hair lately.

nachopee:
How tall are you? Have you noticed any specific advantages / disadvantages to your height in life?

ColorStorm:
I'm kinda short and small-framed for a guy, 5'6.5". I haven't noticed any disadvantages to speak of. I mean maybe there are some girls who wouldn't date me because I'm not tall enough or big enough, but when it comes to being able to date women that's the least of my problems so I wouldn't even know. I do notice occasionally on dating sites women who say they won't go out with a guy who's less than, say, 6'0", but they're few and far between and even if I were average height I wouldn't be >= 6'0". I've read that in the workforce being tall helps you get a job and get paid more, so I imagine being short probably gets you the opposite, but I'm not working anyway. It always makes me happy when I see guys shorter than me. Not so much in a "haha I'm taller" way, but more like, if they can do it I can too.

nachopee:
Do you think it's a good idea to normalize moving out at age 18? (as is common in the US at least)

ColorStorm:
No, better to give people a break and let them hang out a while before having to get a job and everything. Working is just a necessary(?) evil, not a virtue. In Spain things are much more relaxed in general, and people tend to stay with their parents and be jobless well into their 30's. I think Spain sounds like a much better place to live. I also like the idea of many generations living in one home, it's more efficient, there's more company and support, and there's less work involved than for everyone to have their own homes and cars. And forcing people to move out the minute they turn legally adult is the opposite of that.

nachopee:
in addition to Spain it is pretty normal to have multigenerational households in Asian families, and I'm sure in other groups as well

You are allowed to drop any object from the top of the Burj Khalifa. At the ground the impact is filmed with a high speed cam. Which object do you choose?

Better make it something with a high terminal velocity or you defeat the purpose of dropping it from such a high distance. Like, maybe, a bowling ball. No.. a golf ball. They're pretty neat when viewed smacking something with a high-speed camera.

What is your opinion about blasphemy?

ColorStorm:
God couldn't care less how we speak about him/her. He/she is complete and needs nothing from us. So that means the concept of blasphemy is entirely a human invention. It's simply thought control. I think it arises from the same psychological principles that cause people to kill others for not being of or converting to their religion.

Qafka:
Which movie would you never watch again, although you did not find it stupid or boring the first time around?

ColorStorm:
Any of them, I rarely watch a movie more than once. When I do it's just because I'm really bored and it happens to be on and it's been so long since I've seen it that I don't remember most of what happened.

ZouBisouBisou:
You should rewatch movies you haven't seen in a long time. Your perspective changes so it's a new experience when you do that.

yeah, i think i've noticed that happening before

ColorStorm:
I read once that AMD and Intel sort of play leap frog regarding who's better at any given time. The last I heard Intel was better, but that was years ago. They definitely seem to be more popular though. I go with Intel.

ZouBisouBisou:
Intel isn't better as far as performance goes, they are a lot more stable though. AMD's have a shorter lifespan overall.

Does it bother you if people use the pronoun 'we' in the Context of assuming u feel the the same about something as they do. 'We were enjoying ourselves'. Sometimes I'm ok with the familiarity I guess. Depends on who.

ColorStorm:

Wieselmann:
Would time still go on if nothing in the universe is moving?

ColorStorm:
Oddly, I don't know. Honestly I think it's totally impossible, even in principle, for nothing in the universe to be moving/propagating because everything in the universe is, fundamentally, a process. But you could ask, what if, hypothetically, things could stop moving? Would time exist then? And that gets tricky. That hypothetical universe wouldn't be ours, so you could say it depends no what universe you're talking about. Or, you could say that whether time would exist without motion is independent of what universe you're in and is a basic logical or metaphysical question. But then you could say that maybe there's *no* possible universe in which things could exist as processes and then suddenly stop. Or you could even say that there's no possible universe in which things exist not as processes at all to begin with, but I'm not sure if that changes the answer to the question, and I'm not sure if it's true either. And you could even say that the fact that there's no possible universe in which things could just stop even in principle doesn't stop us from logically hypothesizing about whether time would stop. I guess in that case it's an epistemic/semantic question of what "time" means. But I guess the question should go deeper than semantics: what is time, ontologically? I think it's safe to say that without anything in the universe, there would be no time. Actually, here's a good question: If nothing in the universe is moving and it stops time, for how long would it not be moving? The answer becomes meaningless. Which means it can never start moving again. Or, put another way, time and movement and propagation already "stop" for an infinite amount of "time" every nanosecond, but there's no way we could notice it. In other words, time *necessarily* advances at a rate of "1 second per second."

Do you like to watch round of talks were they (experts etc.) discuss political or social topics?

ColorStorm:
Social: nah, I can make up my own mind about social topics and hearing other people's opinions about them is harmless at best and infuriating (or maybe just frustrating) at worst. Political: I could take it or leave it, I don't go out of my way to watch political debates (or talks?) usually but if one happens to be on I might watch and learn something. It's kind of depressing/disenchanting though to be dragged down into the details of such an imperfect world.

Alizeh:
Is a life that focuses on avoiding pain and seeking out pleasure a good and worthwhile life? Why or why not?

ColorStorm:
'Pleasure' is often misused in philosophy to encompass all types of positive feelings, such as happiness, joy, bliss, peace, contentment, fulfillment, satisfaction, etc. The nuance matters. A lot. Seeking joy and fulfillment, for example, is a lot more meaningful than seeking the more base or physical forms of 'pleasure.' But even if you mean specifically a life seeking the more base form of 'pleasure', it can still be worthwhile, because a lot happens in life just by virtue of being alive.. it's hard to avoid loving and being loved, communion with others, expressing yourself, etc. "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." Also, might experiencing loads of base/carnal pleasure be itself a good and worthwhile thing? I don't know. Maybe.. why not?

Yes, I think so, but soul is kind of a loaded term. People have all sorts of ideas of what a "soul" means. I'd say we have an aspect to ourselves that transcends the physical/sensorially perceptible.

ColorStorm:
Way smarter, I'd be bothered by her superior quickness and cleverness, maybe i'd just be afraid that she'd look down on me, but at least she'd be able to understand everything I want to talk about, and would want to talk about interesting things, and would appreciate the intelligence I do have, and, most importantly, she may understand *me* as a person/entity more than most people would. Also if I were with a really dumb girl I think I'd feel that I compromised.

Describe your bed, please

ColorStorm:
Tempurpedic Cloudsomething, not on a bed frame, it's on the thin wooden thing used for transport, which is on the floor. The guy who sold me the bed told me they're not supposed to give those away but he sold it to my anyway for I think $90 because I didn't want a bed frame. Funny you ask now because I just moved my bed like 5 minutes ago for the first time since putting it in here a buncha years ago. I moved it over a foot or two so I could fit a chair in front of my laptop instead of having to sit on my bed while using it.

ColorStorm:
oh, I was going to mention that it has a white spill-proof cover on it that i just put on a couple months ago. it already has stains on it

Do calculating people freak you out? I'm just the opposite I suppose. Impulsive and emotional. Maybe I need to be more like them.

ColorStorm:
I'm very calculating. But just because I'm a perfectionist, insecure, and not very good at socializing. So I guess calculating people don't freak me out.. but then calculating people tend to be all mental, so it's hard to see their essence, so there's not much value in listening to them. but then, i can't feel emotions so i can barely see people's essences anyway. also i guess calculating people are mostly still all about personality/essence, well at least some parts of their personality make it all the way out through their calculating mind, like their intentions (if you're able to deduce them), and maybe their emotions. but some calculating people might be entirely mental.

Spudella:
Yeah my step father is like this. I suppose I associate being calculating with being devious and cunning but this is not always true. Emotional people can be

ColorStorm:
CGI usually sucks when it comes to living things--humans, animals, creatures.. it doesn't look totally realistic and you can tell that it's CGI. (Though CGI is great for other things.) Back before they used CGI, some fake living things even looked better than they did now, ironically. I think this could be solved by creating algorithms that add random but appropriate-for-the-context detail to bodies, faces, etc. And also actually simulating inertia, gravity, muscles, bones, etc. when it comes to bodies so that they move correctly.

I'm just curious to know about this one..What is the quickest and easiest way to kill yourself?

ColorStorm:
I'd imagine a gunshot to the head. I noticed that people like to put the gun in their mouths and shoot upward, so I guess that's more efficient for some reason (no skull in between the bullet and your brain?). Not so easy if you don't have a gun or access to a gun, though =p If I wanted to kill myself I'd prefer to do it that way, no suffering (or maybe a quick split second of searing pain) and no time to change your mind after you're already past the point of no return.. I definitely wouldn't hang myself or slit my wrists. If I had no access to a gun I might go up to some police officers and fake like I'm pointing a gun at them. Serves them right, cops are assholes. =P

They empathize with others enough to relate to them having that thing they want that they don't have, but they still see them as separate beings so it just emphasizes the fact that they don't have it and the fact that the other does seems unfair or something. It's so close, yet so far.

Andy:
Is it ok for murderers to escape prison time based on 'mental derangement'?

ColorStorm:
The whole 'getting off for being crazy' thing is a dilemma that gets right into the heart of our crazy ethics and shows the paradox of it all. We judge and condemn someone for doing bad things when they do it of sound mind, but we don't when we believe their behavior is influenced by a mental illness. But there's no clear defining line between being sane and being deranged. It's a (multifaceted) continuum. And when does being 'deranged' stop being something that afflicts someone as if influencing from the outside and start being an accountable, integral aspect of the person's personality itself that makes him/her 'evil'? And one could easily make an argument that to do a really heinous crime *necessarily* means that someone is deranged, and that therefore nobody should be punished for any crime that's beyond a certain degree of evil. This also gets into the important issue of whether punishment is supposed to be retribution or mere protection/determent. If someone's liable to kill people and you punish them or don't punish them based on what you think is going on inside their mind, then you're clearly defining punishment as being about retribution. But as shown above, it's not clear when someone is to blame or not to blame for their actions. One could even imagine that anybody who ends up having the personality necessary to commit any given crime became that way due to a series of unfortunate causes, and that therefore nobody is ever to blame for anything. It's also easy to imagine that if you were in some criminal's exact shoes--DNA, past (innocent) choices combined with everything that ever influenced them, everything--then you could have easily chosen to do the same thing they did. And we blame/condemn someone when we believe they did something out of their own free will and not when they had no choice, but yet we believe scientifically that everything either has a determined cause, or is absolutely random, or is some admixture of both. So our own metaphysics (for those who follow the establishment) precludes the possibility of anyone having any real choice in the matter. The really odd thing about making punishment about retribution by not punishing people for being mentally deranged is that it makes punishment *only* about retribution and nothing more practical like protection of the public or deterrence from crime. Because even if you don't morally condemn someone who's a murderer for whatever reason, such as mental derangement, then protection of other people, if nothing else, would call for the incarceration of that murderer. A philosophy/system of punishment without any kind of retribution involved should probably still incarcerate people for the above reasons, yet because system our system apparently involves retribution we've excluded all of the more practical concerns *altogether*. Of course, the mentally deranged murderer may be sent to a mental hospital for life instead of prison, and that *kind of* solves the problem of protection (maybe not so much for the other inhabitants and staff of the mental hospital), but then that just raises the question of why not be nicer to *all* murderers or criminals in general and send them to hospitals instead of prison if that's such an effective and practical solution. So the fact that the person may be sent to a mental hospital instead doesn't change the fact that we're basing punishment on retribution alone to the exclusion of other concerns, at least to some degree. Also I heard that sometimes they only stay in there for a few weeks or months and then they're let out. I've been talking as if the entire penal system has decided it's about retribution and nothing else, but I think that in most areas of punishment either the question of whether it's retribution or punishment simply isn't raised, or it's decidedly *not* about retribution; but that only makse the whole system that much more paradoxical/self-contradictoiry in light of the existence of the 'mental derangement' exception. In case you actually wanted an answer to your question... I think that every criminal should be given the least possible punishment necessary to protect the public, whether or not they're mentally deranged.

ColorStorm:
just saw a relevant article here: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-freakiest-anomalies-regarding-the-brain/answer/Huyen-Nguyen-111

ColorStorm:
part of it says, "The spirit of the law is that responsibility for a crime is reduced when a defendant’s cognitive ability is compromised by illness or injury."

ColorStorm:
but if brainstate causes mindstate then any disposition that leads to a crime is comprised of some state in the neural network...

ColorStorm:
so what's the big difference whether that state composes an injury or was caused by something else

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, back when I was about 14 or 15 I lived with my aunt and late at night I'd go out into the living room and watch Cinemax. Not sure if this was the first movie, but the one movie I remember was called Wild Orchid. It starred a *really* cute girl named Titre Chanson (means "title of a song" in French) and it was about this man who was emotionally disconnected sexually and would get off watching others have sex.. then in the end the girl broke through his numbness and had cathartic sex with him. =p

I'm not good at jobs, and I hate driving, and that combination of the two things was one of the worst jobs I could've tried. The stress was so bad that even at night trying to get some sleep I was really messed up thinking about what I'll have to do the next day.. so one night (only a few days in) I resolved that the next day I would quit because I shouldn't put myself through that even another night.

Were movies 50 years more fun than now ? Cz the technology was recent unlike now ? Aside than a true mo pai training what's not boring?

ColorStorm:
I think movies nowadays are more fun because the technology is way more advanced and more money is invested in them. Although I think maybe now there's more limitations on what people are able to make because the people in charge want to adhere to the formula or appeal to the lowest common denominator. For example, I read recently that Ad Astra was supposed to be so much better, a slow movie that makes you think, like 2001: A Space Odyssey, but the people in charge wouldn't allow that. I don't know if I really care, though...I like today's movies and was never interested in 2001: A Space Odyssey anyway. As for the second question, the answer is porn.

Mo pai is similar, you actually impregnate yourself

Why is pity something commonly scorned?

ColorStorm:
I recently looked up "pity" in the dictionary, and it didn't confirm my impression of the connotation it has, but I feel that when you pity someone you look down on them. It's not the same as just having compassion for them. Maybe I just feel that way because the only time I ever hear the word used is when somebody says "I pity you" in order to give an air of superiority over the person.

if transgender surgery gets so good you can't even tell are they under any obligation to let you know?:)

ColorStorm:
Yes, because if they were born the opposite sex then who knows in what fundamental ways they still are the opposite sex. Not being able to tell doesn't mean everything. The only way that it really wouldn't matter is if you completely rewrote their identity from the atomic level (and, to be truthful, probably their spirit too), in which case you might as well have destroyed them and made another human in their place. And even if you did that I don't trust a human that was completely invented by technology as far as their dateability goes.

Tell me how i can waste my time and never be happy!

ColorStorm:
You've probably come to the right person, haha. Actually I guess the only way to waste your time is never to interact with other people. Or.. never to interact with other people and open up so that you can be appreciated for who you are and accept that love and experience the communion. And never to have fun.. And relatedly, never be in mutual love because you're too shy to ask a girl out. Though I think you can have a meaningful life without a romantic relationship. Just without the topping on the cake. And also never accomplish or produce anything out of perfectionism thinking you can never do it well enough. Though I don't think you really have to accomplish or produce anything to have a good life, that's just a cultural supposition. I guess it all comes down to: Never truly express yourself.

Right now I wear tie-dye crocs, which were $60 or $70 at Sawgrass Mills. Later I saw the same ones for like $36 at Marshalls, so I got those too. Other shoes I've had weren't particularly expensive.

I think the game hides the true power of the king and hence the powers of any person.

DUST:
If any, when is it hating someone better than loving them?

ColorStorm:
The idealist, purist and spiritualist in me think the answer is no. If there's any time then maybe when loving them gets you used and abused over and over again, because you're weak, you're unable to set boundaries, and/or the way you have to step on eggshells with them causes you to violate your own integrity... and it also requires the condition that you don't know of any way not to love that person than to hate them. I guess that would require a certain lack of emotional intelligence or resourcefulness. I guess such a condition is also more likely if you have no choice but to live with them or don't want to kick them out of your life for some reason (they're the only one who really knows you, you've known them for decades, they're entertaining and you're always bored, you have no or few other friends, you like them when they're not being abusive, etc.).

fizzyarthur:
Why do people like to observe and comment on certain body features, especially ones that are weird (like a tooth missing)?

ColorStorm:
The body is the person themselves, or at least your main way of perceiving the person, so body features, especially weird ones, are prominent in the mind. You're taught to think that the person isn't the body, that e.g. a missing tooth doesn't necessarily reflect on their personality (and there may be *some* truth to that), so that energy of being delighted, disturbed, or whatever by body features can't go into informing you of the person's identity/personality so it has nowhere else to go but to be commented on. I guess.

Congressman Jim Banks: "Student loan forgiveness undermines one of our military’s greatest recruitment tools at a time of dangerously low enlistments." What are some of the "tools" and tricks your country uses for military recruitment?

ColorStorm:
Recruiting commercials on TV with the motto "an army of one", which is bullshit because you're not an army of one in the military. You're there to follow orders like an automaton. I don't know if their commercials still say that though. And recently I saw one for the Marines (they say "The Few. The proud. The marines") that "as long as there are battles, there will always be Marines", which is bullshit, battles have been around for millennia, and probably will be around for millennia more. There's no way the Marines or likely even the USA will last that long.

I think they may also target high school students along with college recruiters, I don't remember for sure.

What are your thoughts on catfishing (i.e. someone who makes a fake account of someone on social media, often to lure people into a relationship with a false identity)?

ColorStorm:
In my experience, catfishing is usually done for the purpose of scamming someone, which is totally evil. If it's not catfishing to scam people, it's deceptive so it's unethical, but it's not a huge deal. Unless the catfish makes someone fall in love with their false persona; that's pretty bad.

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's important to have sexual experiences with a couple of different people before settling down with one person?

ColorStorm:
What Merida said. People put too much importance on sex and the quality of sex in relationships. They should be about love. Well, I guess if you want to get into relationships purely for the sex that's fine. But if your relationship is supposedly romantic then don't dump someone just because you need to experience more people sexually.

arman:
[Hot take on women's suffrage I heard on YouTube] "... I think Rights [should] come w/ responsibilities. One of the reasons that men had the right to vote was because they were subject to the draft and they still are ..." Thoughts? Counterarguments?

ColorStorm:
"Responsibilities" in his take is code for "being forced by the state to do stuff." I don't think rights should necessarily come with responsibilities, let alone a responsibility to go kill people (and get death, dismemberment, and/or PTSD), unless having that right logically implies some kind of responsibility (for example, the right to universal healthcare requires everyone pay taxes). And sure, you could draw some logical link between the draft and the right to vote (e.g. "you're not guaranteed *any* rights if some other country takes over yours"), but still, women should have the right to vote because they, too, live under the system that voting influences. Even when some right logically corresponds to some responsibility, it's not necessary to give *only* those people who have that responsibility that right--there's no reason it has to be a one-to-one coupling--and also, women have responsibilities within society to obey the law, which is influenced by voting, whether they're subject to the draft or not. This hot take just sounds like a sophistic way of arguing for the oppression of women.

You are at a meeting. A team of the telly news are there too and recording some interviews. The woman with the mic directs her camera man and her sound recorder to the person next to me and starts an interview. I know this is a unique opportunity. I will never have a chance to talk to her again. But she doesn't ask me anything and seems in a rush to capture more of the event elsewhere. I try to enter a conversation as soon as she finished this. But I stand no chance. She rushes away with her team and ignored my obvious attempt to talk. She ignored also that I nervously hopped from one foot to the other. Also she ignored my smile. Later I saw the team waiting in the lobby. Before they could leave I took my chance and introduced myself. I got her card and she wrote her private number on it. Now: Shall I call her?

Kate:
Did you know that during the Victorian time it was common practice among men to pin your lovers pubic hair to their hats as a token of affection and love? Shall we reintroduce the habit?

ColorStorm:
UGH NO :P

Kate:
Why not? it's just some hair? ;-)

ColorStorm:
🤢

Kate:
And people with money exclusively want wigs made from true human hair cut off of Indian women's heads. Likewise disgusting or acceptable?

ColorStorm:
Kinda creepy but I think less disgusting?

Kate:
So what makes the difference? It cannot simply be the relative closeness to the brain or the genitals respectively?

ColorStorm:
The closeness to the genitals is probably a factor, but there is a qualitative difference in pubic hair. It's thicker, shorter, and curlier. And I guess also the fact that one associates those properties with the genitals/genital hair, which makes them grosser. Not that genitals are necessarily gross (well, vaginas can be gross, but they're still a turn-on), but hair on genitals is kinda gross - hence the popularity of shaving it.

Kate:
If it is only the curly looks that would make many African hair types look gross?

ColorStorm:
Well, it's also knowing that it's pubic hair, and the curliness helps you know that. Whereas we know African hair isn't pubic hair. Though maybe it's less attractive, I mean, that's why lots of African women straighten their hair and most African American men cut it very short. Sorry if that sounds racist, it's just aesthetic sense. Having aesthetic tastes isn't racist. =P

Kate:
Aesthetic choices and preferences are fine with me. :-)

I doubt that's a fact, and I doubt it's what religious leaders believe. I think they all believe their crap just as much as their followers--probably more so. And if they don't, their true beliefs probably vary from leader to leader. I.e., why would they happen to know the truth about existence just because they're leaders?

While just about everything we do is directly or indirectly rooted in or at least somehow related to biological-evolutionary pressures, it's a (scientistic) mistake to think that absolutely every behavior has a direct biological-evolutionary explanation. Some are only incidentally related to evolutionary pressures, like offshoots, and some there are other forces at play that things can be rooted in. I believe laughter is partially a spiritual phenomenon.

Lights. I don't know how many Christmas trees people have because they're inside their houses, but you can see lights all over the place. Malls and such tend to have them too, but not usually Christmas trees.

Why do guinea gigs appear as cute to humans?

ColorStorm:
My best guess, which could be off, is that sexual selection (and/or just spirit) guides species to be cute, and the perception of cuteness isn't something we've specifically evolved, but rather things are perceived as cute for absolute, cosmic (for lack of a better word) reasons. This comes down to the fact that life is universal, pre-existing and unified, not something that emerges from specific bundles of neurons.

No, might as well tax any and all other kinds of technology that make life more convenient and cheap to create more necessary labor for people overall but create more jobs. It doesn't really make sense when you can just enjoy the benefits of automation and give the extra wealth it provides to poorer people for free instead.

Tech question: can I force the loading of lower resolution videos on every website?

ColorStorm:
i'm not an expert but I think how you would do that depends on the individual website so there's no universal way. (also not all websites necessarily have lower-resolution videos) one thing that comes to mind is you could purposely make your internet slower (using e.g. NetLimiter) so that sites that adjust for internet speed would load lower resolutions. but that would probably defeat your purpose. =P

Would you keep talking to someone online (with whom you seem to connect very well) if they told you won't ever give personal info to each other or send pics, videos or audios and neither do phone calls?

ColorStorm:
Yes. I kind of do. I talk to someone I once was infatuated with, like 20 years ago. She considers me a friend. I know her name, but I doubt she'd ever send me anything because then I'd know her address. Actually, I think maybe she did and didn't include a return address. I only saw a pic of her once, because she agreed to be Facebook friends after first saying no, but then she unfriended me again, saying I never post anything. I did see pics and video of her a long, long time ago, the pics because they were associated with an IRC channel, and the video because she was publicly sharing her webcam feed. We've never talked on the phone. I told her before when I was crazy about her that I wanted to hear her voice, but I never have. Or maybe I just thought of telling her, IDR.

Researchers offered people a choice: sit alone in a room with nothing (no books/devices/etc.) or get an electric shock - 67% of men and 25% of women chose the shock, what would you choose? Also feel free to speculate about the reason for this difference between men and women

ColorStorm:
I'd take the electric shock. I get bored easily and hate being bored. It takes a lot of mental effort to maintain my sanity. And the electric shock is over in an instant. I'm not very surprised by the stark difference between men and women, but it's hard to put the reasons into words. I think women are more passive, being and feeling oriented while men are more active, thinking and doing oriented, so men may be more likely to get more bored in that situation. Also men are more likely to go out on a limb and do something dangerous or hardcore/extreme (such as receiving an electric shock), which is why we have the whole "Why Women Live Longer" meme. https://twitter.com/search?q=why%20women%20live%20longer&src=typed_query&f=user . I guess this makes sense from an evolutionary-psychological viewpoint, with men being historically the ones who go out in the wild and hun and gather, which is dangerous and active/adventurous, while women stay in and housekeep and take care of the kids. It may also be a factor that men are always the ones vying for women's affections, so they have to accomplish feats to impress them.

I agree with the view that the focus needs to be on severely regulating corporations and trying to put the pressure on the individual to reduce their carbon/plastic/etc. footprint is just a ploy to maintain the status quo, but it's also true that if everyone were extremely disciplined and conscientious about their consumption then we wouldn't have this problem..

Is it ever justified to use nuclear weapons?

ColorStorm:
You can use arguments to justify acts of war, and I see nuclear weapons as just an extreme case of this, not necessarily different in principle, but I also sympathize with the view that war is categorically wrong. I guess that implies being pacifists and sometimes being taken over by other countries. Here's an example of a justification to use nuclear weapons specifically: Einstein feared that the Germans would develop nuclear weapons and take over the world, so he and some friends urged Roosevelt to have the atomic bomb developed so we could get to it before they could. (Einstein was actually convinced by a friend to do this.) This may or may not be ultimately right, but it seems like a strong rationale. Now, I know this will look like total superstition to you, but if I'm honest for a second I actually have a serious qualm with nuclear weapons. I believe that our souls/minds are generally eternal, or at least exist for a very long time, and when someone's vaporized by a nuclear bomb it actually has the ability to destroy or damage their soul or mind, or maybe their etheric body or astral body or something, which is an event that's sad and tragic beyond words because "on the other side" we all love each other dearly in an eternal play.

Qafka:
Why am I not you?

ColorStorm:
For all you know, you could be. You're just not aware of being me from the vantage point you call the brain of Qafka. Likewise, from my vantage point I'm not aware of being you. Just like if you cloned yourself, or if you had multiple selves in parallel universes (which you probably do--Many Worlds Theory is a very popular and the least convoluted interpretation of QM), but each instance of you is not aware of being each other instance of you, because your neural networks which house your experiences are physically isolated from each other. Sure, in the case of the clone or the parallel selves you happen to share an identity, but similarity of identity exists on a spectrum, and any place you'd draw the line between an identity being "you" versus "not you" is arbitrary, so the absolute truth is probably that there is no line.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, I should mention something else that makes my argument stronger. You might be incline to wonder, why weren't you born as me? And, according to the

above logic, you could have been born as me (as well as as you) and not realize it. And, even more importantly, what is the actual difference between that being

No, except some of those who are vegetables, maybe just the anencephalic and currently braindead. Even then, their consciousness could be elsewhere. I don't think humans who are walking around and doing stuff can lack a conscious experience because it takes consciousness to desire/decide/do even the most basic things (other than automatic things like breathing).

Developers? You mean the developers of Retrospring, or software engineers in general? I'd say they should be treated decently just like everyone else.

ColorStorm:
Genius, intelligent, quiet

LaDamaX:
Would you describe yourself as “quiet” here on RS?

ColorStorm:
No, I don't have social anxiety online.

ColorStorm:
Well, maybe somewhat quiet.. just because I seem to be very selective in which questions I answer, and I hardly ever post any questions.

LaDamaX:
Personally, I don’t find you to be quiet. I find you to be forward, honest, and thorough in the manner that you respond. I wouldn’t have guessed that social

LaDamaX:

Perhaps it isn’t that you’re shy, but maybe more selectively social?

no, that's not it. i'm shy.

i'm afraid of not saying the right thing, of how i'll come across, of embarrassment, and it doesn't help that i'm socially clueless

BidenLadysMan:
Let's have a look at some excerpts from the new Gay B, C's: A is for ALLY a friend who is there to stand up for you with strength, love and care.. ok, cool.. B is BI you can shout it out loud, I like boys and girls, and that makes me proud. Ok, somewhat alarming.. C is for coming out, you're ready to share what you feel deep inside, it's ok to be scared. Um, what? And it goes on. The publishers of this book have every right to publish this book. But parents have every right to not want their kids to read this book. This may be an ignorant belief. But I've encountered many folks in my somewhat long life. I think if a kid comes out to his or her parents. There is a very good chance that kid's parents would accept them. Aside from extreme situations. Most parents love their kids unconditionally and will in any form. This book is indoctrination. Thoughts🤔

ColorStorm:
I think whether it's indoctrination depends on the exact contents of the book, which I don't know. I hear about parents not accepting their children coming out all the time, parents are old and old people are just like that--traditional values and all. So the book may be important if it encourages acceptance of being gay or bi without pushing an agenda, i.e. trying to convince people to be or that they already are gay or bi. Someone who's against gays might see encouraging self-acceptance and acceptance of others who are gay as pushing an agenda or indoctrination when it's not necessarily.

BidenLadysMan:
Well, I can't confirm every kid on earth has never had a pushback when he or she comes out to their parents. I imagine in the Islamic society, it's a problem. But generally most parents love their kids and want them to be happy in any form. We have a victim mentality in America now. And we blow things out of proportion. As for this book. You can't "teach" kids to be accepting, kids learn through actions of the adults around them. But this book seems to be an indoctrination tactic to me

RetroKnight:
I was chatting with my professor and she told me she knew I was an A student after the first paragraph she read of mine...take a moment here to pat yourself on the back, crow about an achievement, etc. Tell me about your awesomeness.

ColorStorm:
For three years in a row in elementary school I got a second place award for the whole school (or elementary grades? Idk), and I never even studied or did my homework. I loathed the labor. In high school in trigonometry class I slept through most of my classes, didn't study, never did homework outside of school hours (in that class or in any other class), and got a A in a class and a 105 on the final exam. The first day the teacher asked the class a question the answer to which was "the Pythagorean theorem," and I got it, and later she thanked me in private for saying the answer because she couldn't remember it. 🤣 I programmed in BASIC, self-taught, when I was a little kid, probably younger than 12. I once took a German IQ test once where you predict the positions of dots in grids and got either 150 or 160, I don't remember which, I think 160. (I don't claim that as my actual IQ though. It's an outlier, so I'm just particularly good at inferring which objects are moving in which directions when it's potentially ambiguous.) I once thought about the question of how to best do memory management, without having read anything about how it's actually done, and later I found out the algorithm I came up with was discovered by some other individual too and eventually was actually adopted into the Linux kernel. I once made a program to convert numbers from one base to another and later found out there's actually a name for the algorithm I came up with and it's the best way to do it. I also came up with an algorithm for finding prime numbers that I later found out has a name. I don't remember the name, but it involves storing all the primes up until N and only dividing by those primes until you get to sqrt(N).

ColorStorm:

What would you consider brave?

ColorStorm:
One example would be risking your life to save someone or to save multiple people. Another example would be risking your life for some political cause. Also, my trying to work many years ago was brave af.

AGR:
I say, good luck to those feeding a cause that hurts oneself, it is brave but not something I'd want to do anymore. Save their life and mine, I'd want

ColorStorm:
love realizes that others lives are worth just as much as ours, thus it seeks balance - the risk, or in some cases sacrifice, is deemed worth it because of the

ColorStorm:
benefit

ColorStorm:
the kind of bravery where you stand up for others is the best kind because anything else is just selfish/self-serving

I did contemplate this, I have a split where if someone has to incur a cost, than I might as well take it but at the same time

Today I wear heavy makeup since I felt like it. Co-worker: Wow, you look better than yesterday. Were you sick? - Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
He/she meant well, but the implication from your point of view sure came out unfortunate. An awkward encounter. If you'd been honest and answered "No, I'm just wearing more makeup now" they probably would have felt awful or awkward/embarrassed. But it's not necessary to and the awkwardness of the situation was incidental, so maybe it's better to spare their feelings. Or maybe it's better not to keep it to yourself and not to protect them from the truth. I guess it's debatable, or just up to one's personality/preference.

[Hot take on why men don't like promiscuous women] "As a women if you get pregnant, you know for a fact that child is yours. But if that women slept with other men, you cannot guarantee paternity. I know in the past 40 years it's possible through DNA tests but that doesn't undo hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and biology." Thoughts? Counterarguments?

ColorStorm:
Sounds a bit reaching. I think it has more to do with the fact that, sexually/romantically, men play the role of contestant vying for sex/love, while women play the role of selector granting or denying it. Also men are more driven by desire for sex with hot women, while women are more driven by the desire for love and security. So of course men would have sex with 150 women if they could, but for a woman to do that is unnatural. And these roles are products of evolution, so evolutionary psychology applies to this explanation too. It sounds like I'm slut shaming in my argument, but I'm not. IDGAF if women are promiscuous. I actually like the fact that there are sluts. Maybe more to the point than it being "unnatural," men are emotionally used to and invested in chasing women. When a woman is easy to get, that kind of "short-circuits" that drive, it just feels too easy, but it creates an emotional conflict because why wouldn't you take advantage of it to get what you want? So the resort is to see the woman as "dirty" and/or immoral.

Dunno who that is, but I generally think if they're good enough for the casting director they're good enough for me. I had no problem with Ben Affleck (sp), for example. I'm not generally critical of movies, tending to see them in the most positive light, perhaps even naively so. But on the other hand it's rare that I say any movie was better than "okay." So I guess generally I respect them, but I neither love them or hate them.

How do you feel about age gap relationships? I find the idea that the women involved (who tend to be the younger partner) have ''daddy issues'' is really quite repulsive. It removes their agency from the whole thing.

ColorStorm:
I don't mind age gaps in relationships. Whatever consenting adults want to do is fine. As for whether there's usually some pathology involved, I don't know. Maybe the women are just open-minded? Maybe they prefer older men because they're more mature? Or maybe because they make more money? And even if they do have daddy issues, I'm glad for the men that get to have them. Though I kind of doubt that most women who date/marry older men do it because they secretly want to have sex with their fathers do this through dating old people by way of associating old age with their fathers. Even if a girl has daddy issues, I think this would manifest in different ways. And even if they want to date a father figure, I think they'd see qualities of their father (or the father they never had) in their partner other than their age. Not to mention that at the age the girl develops the daddy issues their daddy isn't that old yet.

What do you think about TikTok?

ColorStorm:
Never used it, wouldn't even know what it is if not for this thread.

ColorStorm:
I remember everyone thought vines were funny as hell, and I never understood it. Most of them were really lame and boring

Wasserpistole:
In TikTok they are more embarassing than anything else. I really only can enjoy that stuff mute and when attractive females are dancing and jumping.

Why do you think having very strong opinions on things that don't really matter in the grand scheme is such a common and fun(?) phenomenon? (e.g., pineapple on pizza, water is wet, etc.)

ColorStorm:
It's probably a diversion from our strong feelings about things that do matter that we can't change. Things that make us feel helpless and hopeless. Idk. There are probably other reasons. I'm not a part of this phenomenon.

Wasserpistole:
You have to give up and leave the country you are living in, but you can take everything with you that is close to you and the whole process will cost you no money. That's the situation. Which country would you choose?

ColorStorm:
I'd have to do some research. Look up wealth, quality of life, general happiness, etc. for all the countries. More realistically, though, I'd have to find out who will support people who can't work.. and I probably wouldn't be able to prove I can't work so I'd have to find a country with a universal basic income, if there even is such a thing. And even more realistically, you can't just get into any country you want, especially when you don't work, and that probably wouldn't change just because I have to leave the country I'm in. So I'd probably have to settle for some poor country like the Philippines. Maybe that's where I'd go, I know someone there who loves me. =) Not sure if she has someone else now though. Or maybe I'd marry my g/f in Norway and go there, they're very rich, socialist and good with supporting people who can't work.

nachopee:
What are your favorite remedies for relief when you have a cold/flu? My mom always hit me with that Vicks VapoRub, so now I do too

ColorStorm:
I don't take anything for colds, I avoid taking medicines whenever possible. Haven't had the flu since I was a kid.. if that's what that was..

nachopee:
Why do you avoid medicines? Not even any OTC relief things? (e.g., NyQuil)

ColorStorm:
No, not even NyQuil and the like. I don't like medicines because they're too unnatural. They have too many possible side effects, likely and unlikely,

ColorStorm:
short-term and long-term, known and unknown. I mean, yeah, we live in an unnatural world, but the stuff we put into our bodies is the worst of it.

ColorStorm:
Nature is my general guide to what's healthy.

ColorStorm:
And targeting a specific ailment in a profoundly complex body with a simple chemical is too blunt an instrument. (That's why there are so many side effects)

ColorStorm:
And I specifically don't take antihistamines because histamines open up your capillaries so that white blood cells can go through and attack the germs. If you

ColorStorm:
don't allow that then you don't allow your body's immune system to do its work

ColorStorm:
Just one example of how screwing with the body has deleterious effects

ColorStorm:
(Maybe I'm wrong somehow about antihistamines.. I don't know much about it)

WachalPharoh:
What's something people preach as self-love but can actually be quite toxic advice. Ie: 'Be the change you want to see' being lauded as a wholly good message, but it's what Hitler did and no one liked that.

ColorStorm:
so you're saying we shouldn't try to improve the world according to our vision because we could be immoral and wrong? that doesn't seem right. i think that quote is sound. though a lot of advice people dole out as inspirational quotes really is meme-tier, just shiny concepts like bait, and people only disseminate it so people will look up to them or so they can gain energy by people following their advice or so they can get other people to do what they're not willing to do themselves.. so in that sense the whole 'motivational/inspirational quote' scene is somewhat toxic.

WachalPharoh:
I'm not saying that, I am using it as an example, as to advice that can be toxic and not exclusively "self-love" as people paint it, we all have diff visions.

WachalPharoh:
I also agree that social media "inspirational/motivational" quotes are bland nothings made to sound like nuggets of wisdom made to elevate their authors.

Surprise:
Do you mind when someone messages you in short texts? (like Hey, Sup, Yeah.. etc) (A conversation where you seem to be carrying most of the conversation.) Or is that a good thing?

ColorStorm:
It's okay sometimes, it all depends. On the nature of my relationship with that person, and whether it's a constant messaging in short texts or just sometimes/at the moment, and on whether it feels like I'm trying to carry a conversation and they're not putting effort into it.. I don't really have that problem with anyone, so either I'm tolerant of short texts in general or none of my friends make me carry the conversation. =)

Surprise:
=o ( pikachu face )so I didn't extend that new years convo way past the norm? lol- This person was a friend in HS but we lost touch and now I remember why. :/

I mean this is a sign of what's wrong with humanity/culture, why we suffer so much.

ChrisMartinez:
Why is there no such thing as Toxic Femininity? :)

ColorStorm:
Women can be toxic, since they're human, but it's not their femininity per se that's toxic. The reason masculinity can be toxic and femininity can't is that..... masculinity and femininity are two different things having different qualities to them. The primary qualities of femininity are that it's soft, gentle, nurturing, etc., so it's pretty much the opposite of toxic. Of course it's worth mentioning that masculinity, probably including toxic masculinity, is engendered through sexual selection just like femininity is, so women are to blame too for encouraging it. How often have you seen women complain that they go for all the "bad boys" who treat them like shit?

Let's say you were a food addict: Which of all would most likely give you the best fix? (One that you crave above the rest)

ColorStorm:
Maybe my favorite food, which is The California Crepe from Crepe Maker ("Roasted pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, fresh baby leaf spinach, vine-ripened tomatoes, melted mozzarella cheese and our signature pesto sauce."). If not that then probably pizza with extra tomato sauce and most of the toppings (extra or double on some of them), but no sausage, pepperoni, or anchovies. It would definitely have to have banana peppers.

Maybe you should judge people differently at different point in their lives? Idk, just thinking. Anyway, I was a Republican when I was 18. I did some growing since then. I tend to judge people based on which political party they vote for, but I suspect it's a bad/negative habit. The fact is too many people vote Republican for them all to be ignorant assholes.

In my family there's a first-born (me), middle-born and last-born, and the descriptions pretty much match for all three of them (especially the last-born, that's her to a T). A couple/few of the ones for first-born don't match me (I'm not bossy, for example, I'm the opposite), but it's hard to say what I'd be like if my parents weren't extremely emotionally abusive.

Everybody's path, everybody's self, is unique, and you never know what subtle/deep advantages you have that the people you're jealous of don't, or what they suffer through that you don't. Probably more than comparing myself to specific people, I just compare myself to what I see as the normal, average, typical life out there.

How iy sour sleep rhythm? / Wie dst iein Schlafrhythmus?

ColorStorm:
I sleep randomly, between maybe 3 and 24 hours at a time. I'm awake between maybe 16 and 24 hours at a time. When I sleep a long time (which is usually), I often frequently wake up for a minute and then fall back asleep, usually changing my position when I do that. I guess I'm usually a light sleeper. Just open my door and I wake up. Probably because I sleep way more than is necessary. Every second I'm asleep, I'm dreaming.

ColorStorm:
I also frequently listen to music while sleeping. Occasionally it wakes me up, but maybe those times I was about to wake up anyway, hard to say.

Wieselmann:
Do you believe that the world consists of more than physical substance?

ColorStorm:
Of course, and if not, then at least we have to really reconsider what "physical" means/entails, because of the existence of phenomena such as telepathy. One has to have led a surprisingly limited life, or has to have fooled themselves many times about things being "coincidences" that really couldn't have been, to be a physicalist. Actually, the world consists of more than just the physical, but I think it might be rationalistic to assume that the non-physical aspect of it necessarily exists as "substances." Also, I think that. whatever the non-physical is, there probably isn't a great divide, or dualism, between the physical and the non-physical.. it's probably more like gradients, where the physical is a particular kind of manifestation of whatever everything else is.

Probably they knew what they were doing when/if they switched from a 5-star rating system to whatever they have now, they do sophisticated science there, so it's probably better .

Rihanna, Nadia Ali, Suzanne Vega, Enya, Yanni, Dusty Springfield, Avril Lavigne, Lady Gaga, Madonna, The Bangles, Justine Suissa (Oceanlab), Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow, Chicane, Enigma, Deep Forest, Hanson, Michael Jackson, DJ Tiesto, U2, Jewel, The Pretenders, Natacha Atlas, Duran Duran, Vanessa Mae, April March, Christina Perri, Taylor Swift, t.A.T.u., Jefferson Airplane, VNV Nation, Aaron Carter, Stevie Wonder, Natasha Bedingfield, Daniel Bedingfield, Snap!, Wham!, Basshunter, Supertramp.. and others.. A lot of those artists I listed because I like literally one or two songs by them. A lot of them aren't popular now but were in the past, that still makes them "popular artists" in my mind.

Wasserpistole:
I don't like Madonna as a person but when I was younger, I thought that song was not bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMGdGTwNWLw

ColorStorm:
That's a good one. Some other good ones are Papa Don't Preach, La Isla Bonita, and Frozen

ColorStorm:
Why don't you like her as a person?

ColorStorm:
oh, and another good one is Don't Cry for Me Argentina (from the movie Evita), especially the Miami mix

Wasserpistole:
She said she is going to give fellatio to every man that will vote for Hillary. She is rotten. I don't like Trump but the hate she has towards him is too much.

ColorStorm:
oh, I forgot Cyndi Lauper in my list. I really like at least 3 of her songs.

Wasserpistole:
But I've learned you don't like at all: Bro' Sis (I Believe), Orange Blue (She's got that light),Foreigner (Urgent) and Mister President (Coco Jambo).

ColorStorm:
I don't remember - I'll take your word for it. But I'm glad you're keeping tabs on what I like and don't like, hehe

Wasserpistole:
But I have to say, most people on your list don't know. I am a 90s pop music guy.

Wasserpistole:
Most of the time I just like one or max. two songs from pop artists. But I like more from Michael Jackson than one song. Also I have fun listening to Ace of

Wasserpistole:
Base lately. I admit it.

Wasserpistole:
Difficult. First time I heard it on the game, the videogame "Lumines: Electronic Symphony" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovsjkYytGOU It's okay.

Wasserpistole:
Again from video games but this is tender Rock and not Pop. :-( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAXMYCeq2Ao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCv97GMHUz0

Wasserpistole:
I don't know. Always have to get used to a new tune. Listening to a song couple of times first and I have to want that.

What makes you like a song?

ColorStorm:
It's impossible to explain, just like it's impossible to explain why we like music. Also whatever I like about them, it's probably a lot of different things depending on the song, because my list of favorite songs is very eclectic.

How do you feel about the time change?

ColorStorm:
Was there a time change? You mean Daylight Saving Time? I didn't notice. There once was a time when you *had* to know when the time changed, and everybody would remind you, because you had to change your clocks... now they're all internet-based. Well, maybe not most alarm clocks, but then maybe people don't use those anymore. It's funny there was a time change now, because about 3 days ago it was 7:something and it was dark out, so I figured there must have been a time change... turned out it wasn't the morning like I thought it was but night time. That's all I feel about the time change. Oh, also they should abolish Daylight Saving Time. Thanks for your time.

Will Ghostbusters 2016, (All-Female edition) be remembered as the worst movie to ever be filmed? It pioneered the whole "go woke, go broke" philosophy 🤣

ColorStorm:
I'm sure it was bad, but I highly doubt it was *that* bad. The Room will probably continue to be regarded as the worst movie ever made. Ghostbusters (2016) probably doesn't even have enough substance, character or eccentricity to be that bad.

ColorStorm:
I don't like the genre of the instrumentals, and the vocals are mostly just yelling in a high monotone key, not even singing. It's obnoxious.

Practically every time I go to the grocery store I look for the calamari salad or whatever it's called and the seabreeze salad (flavored, colored seaweed) from the sushi section which cost like 5 or 7 dollars each for not very much food. But I like them and they're healthy. I also buy 8-16 of the tiny cans of Starbucks Doubleshot espresso & cream for about $2 per can.

What's the point of visually watching a podcast/radio programme whose main content is audio?

ColorStorm:
You're more connected to the source of the audio, the people talking, that way. You see what they look like, you can read their body language, their energy, etc.?

fizzyarthur:
But then it would basically be a cheaper kind of television programme

ColorStorm:
You still get more than by just listening, so I guess podcasts must be really cheap in general relative to television programs? Maybe unless you listen whise

I do, I can feel it more. My member doesn't seem to have a lot of feeling. Though I learned the hard way that you can't just have anal sex whenever. Have it when she wants to have it. That's when she's evacuated her bowels and having anal sex won't stink up the whole room. =p

BidenLadysMan:
Sarah Silverman's a cutie for sure😊

ColorStorm:
the way she talks used to drive me wild. she and mila kunis are the only two who have ever had that power.

one time, I was watching a cartoon and the voice behind one of the characters intrigued me so much that I looked up who played that character of that episode

ColorStorm:
Allegedly astronomers are "crying and throwing up" over the launch, I only read a little bit of the article but I gather it's because if it goes wrong then it'll severely affect future funds for this kind of stuff permanently. I hope it goes well.. not so much because I care passionately about astronomy, but just because it would be a shame for so much money/time/effort to go to waste.

You get closer to the same height off the ground as your dick, but that doesn't make you closer to your dick. But maybe you're a little bit closer, inasmuch as your back and your neck bend, shortening the distance from your head to your dick. But this is assuming we are actually our heads rather than our whole bodies.

How did you meet your current or last partner?

ColorStorm:
As far as I know, I'm currently "In a relationship" with someone on Facebook, but she only talks to me in emojis around once a month for some reason. She visits me from Norway sometimes. She was my legit girlfriend in 2006. I met her on MySpace, I think she was doing a search for Donna Williams and found my profile and liked what she saw. If you don't count her as my current partner, my last partner is Filipina and I met her on a Facebook dating app. We'd been FB friends for a year and hadn't talked, then one day she talked to me. I felt like it was pointless to seek a g/f at that time so I didn't have any anxiety about our conversation and I was actually funny. That won her over and when I actually had the opportunity to have a cute g/f I decided to take it. I flew to the Philippines to meet her.

Leggings are like yoga pants, right? Tough choice. On one hand, yoga pants are extremely sexy, while a hoodie completely obscures any sexiness. But a kimono is probably somewhere in between the two all around.

How come when I receive a delivery like pizza or a package it is always a delivery boy or man? Have you seen your Amazon package brought by a girl? Or is it just me?

ColorStorm:
I think our Amazon packages are almost always delivered by guys. Pizza I think there have been one or two female deliverers over the years. I guess something about the job attracts guys/deters females (unless there's a bias on the employers' part), maybe something about the fact that it's constant activity and going out in into the world. Men are (generally, of course) the more active of the sexes, women the more passive.

Maybe it is much simpler than that and they pay the women even less, too less, than the guys?

What could and should be done against the obesity epidemic?

ColorStorm:
I think it's a cultural problem that you can't necessarily do anything about. People are trying to fill the void. Finding a way to fill the collective void healthily might as well be finding a way to have eudaimonia. Not to imply that there needs to be eudaimonia in order for there not to be an obesity epidemic, just that both things are way easier said than done. The obesity epidemic is just the outward symptom of much deeper, more systemic problems with modern society. There may be something to instating more regulations on the food industry. Perhaps they shouldn't be able to make food that's both extremely addictive and extremely unhealthy. Also I've read once that partially hydrogenated oils make you fat and that the onset of the obesity epidemic was about the same time those became popular, but I don't know if their effect is significant in comparison to other things like sugar and fat. Sean said something about stopping certain subsidies. It sounds like that's the least we could do.

I'm watching a telly series that spans over many months showing the life of police officers at a three frontiers area. They always wear the same clothes. Each day, each sequel, each season. Do you think the producers did underfund it? Or is it an artsy trick?

ColorStorm:
Need more information. Is it showing them on the job, or in their private life? Is it a reality show, or is it all scripted? My wild guess is that the price of producing the show is very large compared to the price of changing their clothes, so it's probably an artsy trick.

Kate:
Job AND private life! It is all scripted. I agree that it might be an artsy trick to sustain the characters also visually. But it makes it less convincing too.

But one rapper I totally don't get why they're so popular (or were? maybe I'm behind the times) is Lil Wayne. His voice is so..pathetic and mousey.

RetroKnight:
Hey I have a wedding question - A couple split the planning of their wedding between them...the bride only had one hard request - that the groom not rub her face in the cake. At the wedding the groom grabbed her by the back of the head and buried her head in the cake (this was planned, the cake was destroyed and the groom had backup cupcakes ready) the bride wants to divorce or annul the marriage now, thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I guess her request was pretty hard. I think the guy was inconsiderate at best, or a flaming asshole at worst, depending on exactly how she conveyed her hard request. But I feel kinda bad for the guy (depending), he was just trying to make it fun, he definitely didn't see that reaction coming. But I can understand the bride's reaction too, though I kinda wonder just how in love they were if she's willing to divorce over that. Whatever the case, I think it's a messed up situation and they both lose. Or I guess they might both have won, depending on how the marriage would have been.. lots if not most of them end up going sour, some of them for many years before a divorce if there is one.

What are your thoughts on 'alternative medicine'?

ColorStorm:
On one hand, I think a lot of natural substances that can remedy or at least help certain diseases are overlooked by the medical industrial complex, which favors pharmaceuticals (just follow the money; also, scientism); I mean consider that it's not even legal to advertise any natural food as curing any disease, whether it does or not, because they're not covered under the FDA. But, on the other hand, there tends to be a lot of quackery in the field of alternative medicine due to its unfortunate fringe status and maybe lack of studies. Also, I think a lot (not all) of alternative medicine, though somewhat effective, is probably less effective than standard medicine, and people can do themselves a disservice (staying sick or dying) by sticking to it exclusively.

Wieselmann:
What comes after death? How sure are you about your belief?

ColorStorm:
I'm conflicted regarding whether I think there's life after death, but I think there probably is. I think after death most of us float through a tunnel toward a bright light, then we feel immensely loved and healed. Then at some point we experience a life review in which we're aware of how we've affected others with everything we've done, but we're not in a place where we would judge/condemn ourselves for things we've done. Then at some point we find ourselves living in a heavenly realm, or maybe some people feel guilty about the lives they've led and go to a lower astral realm or something like that and suffer. Most people eventually reincarnate. I know it sounds like wishful thinking to think we end up in a heavenly realm, but I believe most of the universe (including physical and non-physical realms) is a great place to live, because life *wants* to be happy so it makes that happen. The human experience on Earth is just one of the exceptions. it's miserable because humans are a primitive species. It's always harder for intelligent species before they've learned how to live. To say more about this heavenly realm.. the sun is always out (it's sometimes called 'summerland'), sound and imagery are more vibrant and may bleed into each other, it feels not less real but even more real than this realm, sensory perception is coupled with psychic input, our bodies take on the form of how we looked on Earth at our preferred age (usually around 25), or maybe younger if we died young. If we had any physical maladies in our earthly life, they're gone in the afterlife. My information about what happens when we die comes from having read dozens of stories and books, including near-death experiences, channelings from people who have crossed over, hypnotic regressions into previous lives and life between lives, etc.

Which event would you most like to do (as part of a team bonding activity at work)? 1. Go-Karting 2. Escape Room 3. Axe Throwing 4. Game Show Experience 5. Ten Pin Bowling 6. Interactive Social Darts 7. Augmented Team Game Experience.

ColorStorm:
Go-karting would be the most fun for me. Though I think the game that would be most effective at bonding people would be the escape room. But still, I'd rather go-kart.

arman:
Your direct manager has done something stupid that caused a significant blow to the company you work for. Only you know the culprit, i.e. your manager. Do you feel morally obligated to inform the top brass/the board of directors? Or do you intend to take advantage of the situation and tell the manager to get off your back whenever you slack? Or do you just ignore the whole thing and get on with your life? Or maybe do some other interesting thing?!

ColorStorm:
I don't think I'd feel a moral obligation, I don't give a f\*ck how well the companies do anyway, companies are inherently selfish and evil. If I were more socially savvy I might take advantage of the situation, but that's well beyond my ability and confidence. So I guess I'd just ignore and get on with my life.

CloudBurst07:
Do you judge and/or give advice to parents while not being a parent yourself ? (Ps, having nieces/newphews/baby sitting experience/pets does not count as being a parent.)

ColorStorm:
Some parents, many actually, are truly awful people and put their children through hell and leave them with lasting psychological issues. There's no excuse. Though I understand that there are many things parents do that non-parents judge them for just because they don't understand how difficult and taxing children can be, things that they'd probably do themselves eventually if they had children. It's not ideal but I guess it's understandable. I don't give advice because I'm too shy and also I know that parents hate getting advice on parenting from non-parents. Even if I think the children are unnecessarily suffering and/or are being conditioned in the worst way, I don't give advice. I'm not sure if that's the best thing to do or if I'm just a coward. Also *all* parents deserve judgment for bringing more people into this God-forsaken world of suffering. But I usually don't think about that just because someone has kids, it takes special circumstances for that to annoy me.

Wieselmann:
Many conspiracy-minded people say we should do our own research and think for ourselves regarding topics like vaccines and climate change. Aren't these topics way too complex to form a qualified opinion as a layman with some internet research? Shouldn't we trust what the large majority of experts say?

ColorStorm:
In some cases there's reason to believe the experts are corrupt, and the only way to discover their corruption is by doing your own research.

[2022-01-16]

Wieselmann:
What do you think about people who are convinced that vaccines cause autism?

ColorStorm:
I find it amazing that it's so common to think so lowly of anyone who believes vaccines cause autism. There's nothing inherently ridiculous about this idea, there's no reason it should be impossible, and there's no malice in such an idea. And there are good reasons to think it does if you do some research and think for yourself. I think the most obvious reason people feel that way is that they have a bias toward wanting to believe that vaccines are an infallible godsend, which stems from the fact that society has a collective form of PTSD as a result of past diseases.

Wieselmann:
What good reasons are there to believe that vaccines causes it? Andrew Wakefields manipulated data?

Wieselmann:
There are tons of people working on this topic everyday. If the data would seriously imply a cause for autism, your view would be spread among experts

Wieselmann:
Why do you think you can draw better conclusions than experts by some internet research? You most likely can't evaluate if a study that you find

Wieselmann:
was published in a serious journal and if the methodology of the study is without errors

ColorStorm:
There are thousands of reports of children having become autistic shortly after receiving vaccines. I think dismissing them all as anecdotal and unscientific is

ColorStorm:
too easy. Also, it's a public fact that autism and other neurological disorders exploded in popularity at the same time that vaccine use did.

ColorStorm:
to your second question, maybe people don't see the holes in the studies because they want to believe they're true? or maybe some people do see holes in them,

ColorStorm:
but nobody listens to them? or maybe the data was manipulated in a way that's not apparent in the published result?

ColorStorm:
Can you imagine them actually admitting that vaccines cause autism if it's true? I can't. It seems naive to think they would.

ColorStorm:
here's some of what a friend had to say about it:

ColorStorm:
https://pastebin.com/XuVsqUYe

ColorStorm:
it's a known, researched fact that corruption is rampant in scientific research

BidenLadysMan:
When science is able to replace body parts for better bionic ones. Which body parts on yourself would u change?

ColorStorm:
None, I don't believe bionic is better. My body parts are living things (both in the biological sense and the transcendental sense), and technological products are non-living. More fake body parts = less life. Even speaking from a purely physical perspective, a bionic part is unlikely to have the amount of nerve endings that a living part has, so you wouldn't feel as alive on that front. It would also likely be less good at self-healing. Maybe in the distant future that won't be the case, and maybe they'll even create *biological* replacement limbs, but I'd still be reluctant if I lived then, since I'm a naturalist.

[2022-01-17]

Wieselmann:
https://youtu.be/2CvtZoTTXeE What do you think about what he says?

ColorStorm:
I think corporations are, by and large, more evil than the government. Corporations by design are driven by only one thing: profit. They'll do anything they can, regardless of ethics, morality or decency (and sometimes regardless of the saw), to maximize their bottom line. That's not true for the government. Yes, the government has corruption, but corruption in government is just the degree to which it's aimed at maximizing profit for politicians, while for corporations the degree at which they aim to maximize profits is already at 100% by definition. Also, the only reason government is corrupt is because corporations corrupt it with monetary incentives, so it's what Sean said. As for the government's competence at running businesses, assuming Elon is right that the government is bad at it, that could ideally be increased by the establishment of a new agency with the sole purpose of generating products and services, with the necessary business education, etc. for its employees, in the case where we choose to adopt democratic socialism or some degree of it..

There have been a few spontaneous things, one thing that comes to mind was at the end of the day at the end of the school year in fourth grade I walked up to my crush (extreme crush, had been for years, who was standing and chatting with a 2 or 3 friends, and told her "I love you." I'm extremely shy and insecure and was even more so back then, so that was a very brave move.

LaDamaX:
How did she react?

I don't remember. I'm not even sure I stuck around long enough to see. I don't think she said anything, though she may have laughed.

Kate:
What type of bed do you sleep in and with which items is it equipped? Me: Cushion, blanket, mattress all in white plus a woollen plaid of grey and white.

ColorStorm:
I sleep on a 13-year-old extra long twin sized Tempurpedic (an expensive memory foam brand) mattress on the floor with no base. There are two layers of sheet on it, but not regular sheets, they go all the way around the bed and I think are meant to be more permanent, and I think one layer may be the one that came with it. I don't have a regular sheet on it because the last one I tried kept coming off because the bed is too thick (it was a fitted sheet). I have another set somewhere, but I don't know where. It also has a comforter (a type of thick blanket) on it that I usually wear over myself while I'm sleeping because if I don't I get nasty dreams. It also has a pillow with chunks of memory of memory foam in it and a zip-up pillow case. The blanket is currently most of the way off the bed, which is typical for me. The pillowcase is a dark greenish blue color, the comforter is a light bluegreen on one side and white, black, and light bluegreen on the other side in an intricate pattern. The permanent sheets on the bed are off-white (maybe they were once totally white, I don't know).

Kate:
Wow! Very detailed! Do you switch sets according to the season?

ColorStorm:
No.

I don't change *anything* according to season. =P

Do you have a stretching routine?

ColorStorm:
I used to do stretches with my mom and I would just follow her lead and she'd do different things different times. And a couple of times we followed a DVD we had with stretching or exercising routines or YouTube videos. We haven't been doing that since we started going to the gym though. I don't stretch at the gym.

LaDamaX:
What inventions/gadgets have you seen on tv or in movies that you wish were real and why?

ColorStorm:
First thing that comes to mind: the hoverboard. That would just be really neat/funny. I guess an even greater anti-gravity machine would be like what holds up the cars in The Fifth Element and other movies like Star Trek: Into Darkness though. No more traffic, no more car accidents, more efficient air travel, etc. But the *ultimate* invention would be the atomizer from Elysium. You could cure any sickness. You could live forever. (Well, living forever probably isn't actually a good thing, but it's fun to think about under a certain frame.) A corollary is the replicator from Star Trek. It can arrange matter into any form like the atomizer (I guess the atomizer more rearranges matter though, and the replicator isn't used to cure people). Another corollary is the transporter in Star Trek, because it can actually be used to manifest an arbitrary object/person by downloading from a saved state. You should be able to modify the saved state to manifest anything you want to. The Holodeck from Star Trek is pretty cool too, though.. come to think of it, I think I'd rather that than the atomizer. I'd rather have a lot of fun (for example, snowboarding or rally racing without any danger) than prolong my life. But I guess, what's better for the world at large is the atomizer because it could prevent a lot of pain, suffering, death and loss.

A few wks ago there was a shooting in Indiana. The shooter killed 2 ppl. A 22yr old who was armed shot and killed the gunman. How much news coverage did you see about that? Zero. Why? Well one not alot of ppl were killed. And two, the good guy with the gun stopped the bad guy with a gun. Can't have that narrative getting loose.. That there may be a better way to prevent mass shooting.🙄

ColorStorm:
Somehow, I don't feel that encouraging everybody to buy more guns will result in fewer people dying from being shot. =/

BidenLadysMan:
It might.. obviously background checks are a necessary. If not armed citizens then armed guards. There needs to be some resistance to these gunmen...

BidenLadysMan:
in this Indiana case. The mall was a gun free zone. So the shooter broke the rules, not surprisingly

BidenLadysMan:
Mass shooters are going to pick gun free zones because they know there's no resistance there. It makes sense

We're doomed because people don't care enough. Regarding the climate, we may be past the point of no return already anyway.

Qafka:
What is knowledge?

ColorStorm:
A largely semantical alignment of the brain/mind with reality. Of course, the mind and brain are wholly within reality, so what does it mean to be aligned with it? I have a theory that what we regard as truth (or knowledge) is based (or largely based?) in utility. What we know is what mental state lends to predicting and manipulating our environment. I know that theory was around way before me. The closest thing Wikipedia seems to have on it is Pragmatic Truth, but I don't think I'm really aligned with the pragmatists. One thing I *don't* thing knowledge is is "true, justified belief." Knowledge is a state of mind regardless of whether it's true or not, IMO. I wrote more about that here: https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/01/22/knowledge-belief-doubt/

They say "You'll know your partner during divorce, your siblings during inheritance, your children during your old age and your friends in the hard moments" what do you think about this? True or nah?

ColorStorm:
There seems to be some truth to it, but it could also be somewhat misleading. When siblings fight over inheritance, for example, it can reveal a selfish side, which makes it seem like you didn't really know them, but really you knew most of them. You just didn't know what they'd do under that particular circumstance. And probably they didn't either. It wasn't necessarily an aspect of them that was there all along, but something they created in the moment in response to the scenario. In a way, inheritance issues could be the "speed traps" of judging people.

Qafka:
I am teaching a university course on objectivity this semester. Do you think there are objective facts? Can people ever have objective judgements?

ColorStorm:
In my heart, or maybe just my natural mind, I think we can know objective facts. But intellectually/philosophically I'm not so sure. I wrote about that here: https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/03/29/is-true-objectivity-possible/ About judgments.. do we ever "judge" facts, or are all judgments subjective/value judgments? Either way in my heart of hearts I know what I know and feel like my judgments (or many of them, at least) are "objective," whatever that means. Philosophically? I guess it's possible that judgments could be "correct" (and facts, for that matter) if the universe is just a network of minds.. the correct judgment would be the one that wins over the most minds, or the one that the most powerful/highest/most authoritative minds in the network share, or whatever. Physical reality itself could be a consensual construct, so, if the universe is mental, then if there can be objective physical truth then there should be able to be objective judgments too. I'm kind of going on a tangent that I didn't want to go on because I know you're a staunch physicalist.

Qafka:
It’s all fine, I like to hear the panpsychist viewpoint even if I will disagree with it. It’s interesting!

What’s the biggest act of generosity you have ever done?

ColorStorm:
I had a girlfriend (who may or may not have been a scammer) in Africa, and I gave her hundreds of dollars a few times. I think. I'm not sure, my memory sucks. I had another girlfriend in the Philippines (this one I actually met and definitely wasn't a scammer) and gave her about $1000 total for her mom to see a doctor. I gave someone I hardly know on Twitter $1700 because she was in a pickle, it sounded serious, and I liked her (not *liked* liked her). I kinda regret that because it turned out she'd had some shady dealings with people which was why she was in trouble, and apparently her paying them the $1700 did nothing (she asked me for another $1700 and I said no), and ultimately she just called the police on those guys to solve the problem. I may sound like a chump, but I have literally nothing better to do with my money so I just DGAF. Well, I could donate to charities I guess instead of helping random people I meet online. Somehow I just can't bring myself to do that.

She doesn't believe in evolution, thinks being gay is wrong, thinks anyone not saved is going to hell for eternity, thinks the earth is a few thousand years old, etc. There's a lot of things I can't share with her (like facts I find on the internet or see on TV, etc.) because she'll just argue with them.

Everyone else seems to think they're virtue signalling or something along those lines, I guess I could make a case for that: if they come across as more

ColorStorm:
virtuous than your average person (during this crisis), then chances are it's not because celebrities are more virtuous but because they have more skin in the

ColorStorm:
people worship and look up to celebrities so they're already *expected* to be more virtuous and to be leaders

or such as making claims that they won't back up later with action

ColorStorm:
Pieces of sh*t. They're the vehicle through which those with lots of money get the legislation they want to allow them to make even more money, despite what the public wants and against what's actually good for people and society. They're whores in a sense (no offense to sex workers), selling themselves out to proffer opinions that aren't really theirs. They have no principles. I also think paid lobbying should be illegal, maybe even considered a form of treason, because it's deliberately interfering with the process of democracy.. but I guess that'll never happen, because we're too far into plutocracy already. Which is frustrating.

I think the album art should be germane to the music contained therein in some way, shape, or form as according to the discretion of the musician. I'd say that, generally, it is. I'm not sure how important it is--I'd say it's important if a lot of people go music hunting using the covers as cues to whether they want to try/buy it or not, but I suspect that that's not the case. I suspect most people buy, sample, or listen to an album because they already know a band they like came out with the new album, or at least because they want to buy more music by a given band. Also I suspect album cover is even less important nowadays because most music is listened to over streaming services, and a lot of those don't even display cover graphics.

Wieselmann:
How are europeans diffferent than north americans, generally speaking?

ColorStorm:
Idk, different nationalities of Europeans are different from each other, but for some reason I associate the word "European" with the French, so I'll answer for the French. They're better-looking, they smoke more, they're one of the most sexually liberated/advanced peoples in the world (in stark contrast to Americans), and they think they're better than everybody else.

ColorStorm:
I think they drink more too.

fizzyarthur:
How would the world be if there were no entertainment (like no alcohol, no tv shows and no games)?

ColorStorm:
It would probably mean everyone cares about something much deeper and more important than their own selfish pleasures. Either circumstances demand it, or they're just bred with more diligence or something. Such a society could only be better than this one. The negative effects of self-centeredness and shallow interests far exceeds the benefits of having alcohol, TV shows and games.

What was the last satisfying meal you had?

ColorStorm:
I just had a chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell. It tasted good. Sometimes they don't put the sauce in it that makes it taste really good, but this time they did. Though I'm not sure it was really as satisfying per se (even if it was a bit better tasting) as the meal I had a couple days ago, which was just some leftovers, meat with soft, fried/boiled/whatever strips of red and green bell peppers or something like that, soaked in soy or teriyaki sauce, mixed with yellow rice with peas.

An artist hates his own song (one of my favs) and recorded a new version that he liked. He then pulled back the original from all platforms and pushed the new one. The fans hate the new version and want the old back but the artist refuses. Opinions?

It's his prerogative, but it's a shame.

Will music get better in the future?

ColorStorm:
Right now all pop music is pretty much the same, adhering to a formula and uncreative. Music of the past wasn't like that. So maybe that's just a phase and it'll get better again in the future. Or maybe it'll go even deeper into the current trend. Also I have no idea whether I'll like the way music evolves either way, and "better" is subjective. I probably won't, since older generations always tend to hate newer generations' music.

Do you like flying?

ColorStorm:
I like flying in my dreams, sometimes I do it when I get bored while dreaming. I can't fly in real life except in planes (or helicopters, etc., but I've only even flown in planes). The part where the plane initially rises is pretty cool, but it's a small part of the flight, and while just being miles high in the air can be cool, the novelty wears off, and having to sit in one crowded place for hours gets kinda boring. And the landing part is always scary to me (and I know factually that it's statistically the most dangerous part of a flight). And navigating airports stresses me TF out.

What are your thoughts on 'designer babies'? (i.e. babies that are altered to have nothing but desirable traits)

ColorStorm:
I think it may tamper with the soul's self-expression. I think our DNA probably, in general, reflects our soul's personality. Also, for that reason, I think it may be just as much a lie as cosmetic surgery or makeup. Their face may not match their character/energies to the degree that it normally does.

Qafka:
You think masturbation is bad?

I suspect it's made me emotionally numb over the years, but I'm not sure that was it. Also it's desensitized me, but that could be the porn I looked atrather

Sometimes when trying to go to sleep, my body feels weird, like something's off, like I have to pay conscious attention to my breathing and heartbeat or it'll be worse, so I can't fall asleep. It's hard to describe. After I get a little sleep I'm fine again.

Wieselmann:
What is the evolutionary purpose of jealousy?

ColorStorm:
Not every psychological trait/phenomenon has an evolutionary purpose. Some things are incidental, IMO. They're indirect offshoots of the rest of our psyche. Also I would suggest, and I know you wouldn't agree with this, that they arise naturally from the nature of life/consciousness, which exists prior to evolution.

ColorStorm:
There could be an evolutionary (or otherwise useful) purpose to envy--to inspire you to better yourself. Jealousy could be an ugly distortion of envy.

What do you associate with the following words: hardcore, light, serotonin, darts, creep, haram, lisp, C. elegans

ColorStorm:
hardcore: music, like happy hardcore; light: sunlight, electromagnetic waves, relativity because of its constant speed of propagation; serotonin: an excess of serotonin leading to psychosis, brain chemicals; darts: throwing darts at a dartboard, or at a balloon at a carnival; creep: guys with dim consciousness who do weird/creepy things, have bad hygiene, and are ugly, a Radiohead song; haram: I forget what haram means, is that like a brothel? lisp: a speech impediment, a self-programming functional programming language; C, a very old but still used programming language made by AT&T, the most popular programming language for tiny circuits/embedded systems; elegans: never heard of it.

What is your most conservative attitude/belief?

ColorStorm:
Makeup and cosmetic surgery are bad, abortion is bad, there's no such thing as a sex change.

ColorStorm:
Also what Microsoft-hearted said.

LaDamaX:
Out of curiosity, why do you think make-up is “bad”?

ColorStorm:
It's lies/misleading. You don't *really* look like what you do with makeup on. But nobody cares because they're superficial, which is the mark of an

ColorStorm:
immature soul.

ColorStorm:
Also incidentally, more often than not I like what women look like without makeup better than with. They look more real.

ColorStorm:
And human.

LaDamaX:
And what about shape wear, clothing, shoes, accessories, hair cuts, hair color? In your opinion, are those bad too? You’d be surprised how much all those things

LaDamaX:
change your appearance as well. What about perfume? 🤔

LaDamaX:
Are animals superficial as well if they decorate themselves, flash color, etc to make themselves more appealing for mating/courtship?

ColorStorm:
They change your appearance, but IMO they don't do it in a misleading way. E.g. sneakers aren't meant to make it appear as if you actually have plastic growing

ColorStorm:
out of your ankle.

ColorStorm:
Animals' colors are natural/innate. I don't know of animals using external colors. If they do, I don't really have a problem with that because it's nature.

LaDamaX:
I wasn’t thinking sneakers— I was thinking heels. You’d also be superseded how much work can go into appearing “natural”. Haven’t humans been decorating and

LaDamaX:
altering their appearances since the beginning of time (so to speak) though? Do you think perhaps we were imitating other things in nature?

ColorStorm:
Maybe they always have, but that doesn't make it not misleading. Humans in the past weren't perfect either. As for heels, I don't like them. I think they're

ColorStorm:
prissy, narcissistic, and misleading.

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure about perfume. Nobody would mistake perfume for being someone's natural smell, so I guess it's not a lie

LaDamaX:
Do you really feel like a woman with sparky eyelids is trying to finesse you into thinking she was born that way? Serious question..

No.

Qafka:
What is your most progressive attitude/belief?

ColorStorm:
I'm a democratic socialist. Also I'm not sure I'd agree with Daniel's statement that competition isn't inherently bad. I don't think competition of any form--not even games--exists in truly advanced societies (in other worlds). At least/especially not where there are "winners" and "losers." Also I'm sympathetic to Sean's and slag's idea that prisons shouldn't exist. It's complicated. On one hand, they're probably the most humane form of punishment, and without punishment and police society would be complete chaos. Crime would be rampant; it would be a free for all, and there's no dearth of evil and violent people. Nobody would be safe. You couldn't even have government because there would be no way to enforce taxes. Civilization wouldn't exist. On the other hand, by imprisoning the wrongdoers, which society created, and separating them from society and vice versa, you block a certain kind of "karma" (not really a mystical kind) and hamper the ability of society to learn from its own monsters and grow past continuing to create them. Also, even though prison is, in my view, the most humane form of punishment, it still sucks badly enough that people tend to commit suicide in there. Though prison could be made a lot less sucky than it currently is with actual enforcement of decent conduct and more/better amenities. Ideally, we wouldn't need police or prisons, but I'm unsure of whether now is the time to do away with them. I'm not sure we're advanced enough yet to handle that as a race. Tribal societies have no police or prisons, but they still have rules and punishments, and either way, for the people of so-called civilized society there's no easy going back.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, and what Nicole said.

Wieselmann:
Is it true that you didn't understand something if you can't explain it in simple terms?

ColorStorm:
I think that's just a bullshit cliche. It's right up there with "only boring people get bored." I think its popularity is helped by the fact that that or a variant of it is attributed (probably incorrectly) to Einstein. Some concepts are inherently complex, or rest on certain sophisticated concepts or words. Some concepts require a lot of technical background to understand, and that technical background is most easily explained/taught with the use of jargon. I think the quote is adored because it makes people who don't know or understand any sophisticated concepts feel smart, no less smart than people who do.

not a lot of random or complicated shapes. the best ones are the ones where you just see a couple of perfectly symmetrical, fat outer lips touching each other all the way.

What makes an aesthetically pleasing penis?

ColorStorm:
a wide, very mushroom-shaped glans penis like mine. mine is exceptional that way, and I like it. even Sarah (a girl I exchanged videos with on Twitter) said she likes my penis because it's so well-defined. also no discoloration, veins, or strangely bent shape. and a little longer and thicker than average.

When is the most depressing time of the year?

ColorStorm:
when school starts again after summer. i don't go to school, but i have to see all the yellow buses in traffic and the general increase in traffic from parents taking their kids to and from school, which makes me think of how bad it is for all the children being subjugated to systematic child abuse, having to suffer by being forced to perform mental labor, brainwashed, robbed of their creativity and agency, conditioned for crapitalism, and skeletally deformed from having to carry their heavy backpacks everywhere which is obviously a physical corollary to the spiritual and mental burden we put on them.

ColorStorm:
oh yeah and it's also rife with bullying of anyone who's different, and a home from their parents there's the conditional love and punishment (such as robbing

ColorStorm:
them of precious time and experience and mental health by grounding them and preventing them from socializing and communing with others, and also emotional

abuse such as yelling and insulting) based on how well or badly they do in school

Leftover spinach and cheese ravioli in spaghetti sauce, and leftover boiled turnip greens (or collard greens?) with ham from Christmas eve dinner in it. Unless that was before midnight. Yesterday I had meatloaf for dinner and I haven't slept since then, so in a sense it's today.

Wieselmann:
How was the meatloaf?

It wasn't bad. I'm not a huge fan of meatloaf but I don't particularly dislike it either. It was cooked with ketchup on it, but I added some of my own. It was

Wieselmann:
Have you been to psychotherapy? Did it help you?

ColorStorm:
One psychologist I went to was a good debater but didn't help me much. He worked at a church. Another one was a truly deep feeler, and said something once that really helped me, but only that one thing. He was a Christian too. (My mom picked my therapists.) Another one was cool but we just had philosophical conversations together, he didn't really press me to get into the important personal stuff and I didn't step up enough. I borrowed a book from him on how the brain works that he said to make sure I return and I never returned it. =P Another therapist tried cognitive-behavioral therapy on me, but I always had excuses for why I couldn't do the exercises like talking to people, asking a girl on a date, etc. It was way beyond what I was willing to or capable of doing. I think I'm way too socially inept to do those things and it only would have been a disaster. I don't think it would have helped me. Another one was very wise, but I think my issues that we got into were rather tangential ones, and at one point I got totally awkward (hard to explain what I mean) and I think it scared him away, so I didn't really have him for long enough.

ColorStorm:
The cognitive-behavioral therapist girl was super hot, in an exotic way, and had huge tits for her size.

That's what I'm wearing now. The last time I went out (wearing these clothes) I had tie-dye crocks, white ankle-high socks, a tie-dye bucket hat, and a pair of glasses with the frame only on the top side of the rectangular lenses.

Can we be sure that the laws of nature are the same everywhere?

ColorStorm:
I think some if not all fundamental constants could conceivably vary, but as for the laws, I'm not sure differing sets of laws could be logistically compatible with each other in order to interact/have causal relations at the boundaries where the laws change.

ColorStorm:
Of course, that doesn't exclude separate universes where the laws of physics are different.

23 on this computer, all of these and a few more on my other computer, it's hard to say which ones i actively read because I read them with various degrees of frequency from 'all the time' to 'less than once a week'. I usually only write in two of them, but sometimes i say some stuff in some others.

ColorStorm:
If you count mailing lists I'm in dozens more and probably write in like one of them less than once a month.

ColorStorm:
oh yeah, and then there's at least half a dozen facebook groups (mostly philosophy ones), some unknown number of which I post in fairly regularly

I've read that the final stage of a perfect transformation that all people want is when your both good and bad characteristics don't mix.

Ice in one place, fire in another place.

Let me give an example. When look at something you react and your feelings mix. You need to look at things without mixing feelings. It's very hard like trying

To put ice and fire together without them getting mixed up

Qafka:
Do you have recurrent dreams?

ColorStorm:
Sometimes during my dream I feel certain that I've had similar dreams before, maybe even dozens of times, but I'm not sure that's accurate because I find that the dream state can implant contextual knowledge and memories into my head, and I don't remember the past dreams during waking state. On the other hand, it could be true because I find that I'm better able to recall past dreams I've actually had while I'm dreaming.

Qafka:
What was your last nightmare about?

ColorStorm:
I don't remember. I very rarely have nightmares, and when I do it's not very intense, partly because I tend to dream semi-lucidly.

ColorStorm:
I actually had a sort of nightmare just about a week ago, but my memory sucks so I don't remember it. (Beside the fact that dream memories disappear really easy

ColorStorm:
Another other part of why I don't usually have nightmares is that my dreams tend to be really gentle with me, for whatever reason. E.g. even when I get into

ColorStorm:
conflict in my dreams, nobody ever actually yells at me or touches me (or very rarely they do). They're kind of docile at a certain point.

ColorStorm:
I'm pretty sure I used to have nightmares when I was a kid. I also didn't lucid dream when I was a kid.

witcher: The Witcher 3, a game which I haven't played but I have the soundtrack to because I like it bullyboy: bully, kids pushing each other around in the school hallway, fuckboy topography: mathematics, geometry, weird 3d shapes, weird 3d shapes with a certain number of holes art: paintings mostly, especially on display in a museum, exhibit or art sale. also weird shapes in front of universities, etc. herpes: cold sores, STDs, forever laundry: clothes, hampers, the laundry room, the clothes washer, laundry detergent, work frame: picture frames, intelligent people (they often talk about the "framing" of a concept), me when I say I'm small-framed sony: PlayStation, commercial with kid whispering "PlayStation", something I read recently about how Sony developed an optical disc console for Nintendo and Nintendo didn't see the point of it so Sony released the console themselves and hence PlayStation was born, electronics like stereos and speakers

Qafka:
Do you respect kindness more than intelligence?

ColorStorm:
Tough question. I think kindness is more important than intelligence, but that doesn't necessarily mean I respect it more (even if it means I should). I *appreciate* kindness, but that doesn't necessarily translate to respect/honor. Though conversely I tend to look down on people who are petty and spiteful (or at least put a limit on how enlightened I think they are), which is almost like respecting kindness by contrast. Do I respect intelligence in people who are unkind? I think I could, it mainly seems to depend not on how kind they are but in what their views are. Even a person with wrongheaded views who is clearly extremely intelligent can win my respect or at least my awe or admiration though. Though they can easily lose it by revealing themselves to be petty/lacking in integrity or depth during a debate. Also I could totally overlook an intelligent person's causticness if it's toward someone who I think deserves it because of their attitude or beliefs.

Wieselmann:
Do you like the town that you live in? Why? Why not?

ColorStorm:
No, because it's overrun by Spanish people. It's not so much the ethnicity I don't like as the fact that you often can't even communicate with people in places of business (mostly stores I guess) because they only speak Spanish, and a lot of places won't hire you unless you're bilingual. This is bullshit, they should require that you know English before they let you stay here.

ColorStorm:
s/Spanish people/Cubans

ColorStorm:
There are even store names, signs, etc. here that are only in Spanish. And I sometimes get advertisements in Spanish or websites come up in Spanish because of

my locale.

ColorStorm:
I don't know, it sounds nice, but what if the other side truly has no desire to interact anymore, or to interact in the first place? They're all just wrong somehow? And can't obsession come from a wholly pathological place? And what about celebrities, who are obsessed over by thousands of fans? If person A is obsessed with person B because they want a romantic relationship or whatever, and person B knows they're not interested in that because they're not attracted to person A, what could person B possibly say (to complete the relationship) that would end person A's obsession? I think in some or maybe most cases, being as clear as possible that they're not interested and why wouldn't work.

(How do you choose a fragrance?) -Are you subtle or noticeable?

ColorStorm:
I just buy a cologne or perfume whenever I happen to run across something I like. I've bought about 4 in my lifetime. The first was a cyan perfume called "Stormy Heart" with glitter in it from Hot Topic. The latest was Aqua Invictus by Paco Rabanne. I don't really think of them in terms of "subtle" or "noticeable", just good smelling or not. I guess I figure it's entirely how much you put on that makes you more subtle or noticeable. I put one or two sprays of Aqua Invictus on, and it's really strong. Not that I feel the need to smell strongly, but I want to make sure it lasts. I also want it to drown out the dirty smells of the house I live in. =P

Chrome. I think I originally started using it because it was faster than Firefox. Or at least it loaded faster. I'm not sure if it's significantly faster now (if it loads faster it's only because now it loads itself automatically on bootup so it's loaded even if you don't have a window open). I think I may have had some issues with Firefox on certain websites too. Firefox was the one with more options, though (don't know if it's still that way). Now I just use Chrome out of habit and also because I like the way its top separators look better. (Well, they *were* a little bit better before they changed them.)

BidenLadysMan:
With America now waist deep in a recession. Biden is resorting to the old school defense of redefining the question. Trying to redefine what a recession is. I'm old enough to remember the Bill Clinton blowjob scandal. And Bill when asked if he got a hummer in white house instead redefined the word "Is" We know what is means, we know what a blowjob is, we know what a recession is. 🙄

ColorStorm:
Actually, Clinton's questioning the word "is" was very valid and astute. The prosecutor was asking him if he was having sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky (or something like that), and apparently he'd had relations months or years ago but not recently. So, how recently does it have to be to count as still having relations? Clinton was just trying to be honest. It annoys me when people fail to understand this and make fun of him for asking about the definition of "is." (As for Biden and the recession, I have no idea. I haven't heard of this.)

BidenLadysMan:
Lol idk if the words Clinton and honest were ever put together before 😆 but with Biden he's denying the US is in a recession. It is. All economic experts agree

BidenLadysMan:
Instead of addressing it he's chosen to ignore it until atleast after the midterms in November

Is wikipedia a good source of knowledge?

ColorStorm:
Yes. I remember reading a long time ago that Wikipedia was compared to some standard encyclopedia, I think Oxford, in terms of percentages of erroneous facts, and I forget the exact numbers but it was something like Oxford had 6% errors and Wikipedia had 6.5% errors.

RetroKnight:
But can randos jump in and change Oxford's Ukraine article?

ColorStorm:
Really controversial Wikipedia articles that everyone wants to jump in on and put their own opinion into are usually locked

ColorStorm:
meaning only certain people can edit them

ColorStorm:
(don't know if Ukraine's article is locked but I guess it would be surprising if it's not)

Agree or Disagree - Which side are you on: The world would be a better place if we all spoke one language... and that language should be English.

ColorStorm:
I don't know, it would certainly make some things more convenient, but it would be at the expense of diversity, some beautiful languages out there, and language generally fitting the culture it belongs to. Also English is a nice sounding language, but it's notoriously difficult to learn as a second language because of so many homonyms, because of so much inconsistency in pronunciation vs spelling, because of how many words there are including many synonyms, and maybe because of the plethora of idioms in everyday use.

BidenLadysMan:
Biden has covid AGAIN... 2nd time in 2 wks.. Oh God the vaccine worked soo well, the democrats were soo right.. remember he's 4 shots in🤣🤣

ColorStorm:
You can still get Covid with the vaccine (I think because the vaccine is only made for the original strain), but the vaccine makes it a lot less likely for you to die from it. He's an old man, maybe it's why he's still alive.

BidenLadysMan:
It's possible. But the thing is the vaccine wasn't sold on that. It was sold to the American people that it would stop the spread, that you couldn't transmit it

BidenLadysMan:
Remember, all that fear mongering you'll kill grandma and all that jazz.. ppl didn't see their families for yrs, lost their jobs all on a lie

BidenLadysMan:
If you can spread it with the vaccine, and your own life is all you're really risking, why did they force us. I think I know the answer

ColorStorm:
I disagree that your own life is all you're really risking. If everyone didn't take the vaccine, you could spread it to someone old and they could diee

BidenLadysMan:
Even vaccinated you still could spread it. Biden got it. And he's as old as anyone 😅

ColorStorm:
yes but if the person you spread it too didnt have the vaccine they could die, if they did they probably wouldnt

BidenLadysMan:
Thats kind of why the way the vaccine was originally pitched to ppl was dangerous. We were told that once fully vaccinated we couldn't spread it...

BidenLadysMan:
so vaccinated ppl thinking they were safe from spreading or even catching the virus, had it, spread to their elderly parents who weren't vaccinated and killed..

BidenLadysMan:
Them The more responsible thing to do imo would be to get ppl who were really vulnerable to be vaccinated not the entire population. Not everyone needs it..

BidenLadysMan:
It's a waste of resources. But again the conspiracy theorist in me says. You can't win elections that way unless you can lockdown cities🤷‍♂️

If we took a min to evaluate the situation we could have saved more lives and maybe not crippled the world economy

How long does your phone battery last usally?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I think it's not very long for screen time. I have a Galaxy S6. I'm getting a new phone soon, a Galaxy S20 Ultra (my parents are out right now seeing if they can get one from MetroPCS for my birthday), and hopefully it'll have a much longer screen time. I've been looking at reviews for the S20 and S21 and people have been saying things like 8 hours, a day, two days, I think that's of actual screen time, so I guess battery technology has improved and/or they're using larger batteries. If I had to take a wild guess I'd say mine lasts for an hour or two for screen time. Without screen time, it lasts a day or two.

AGR:
Are you glad the internet exists or you wish it never did?

ColorStorm:
I don't know whether the internet has been overall good or bad for the world. It's neat though. But it's probably spurred technology, commerce and industry, which are destroying the world.

AGR:
Feeding the humanity machine. I'll probably be dead before it becomes a massive issue that's too late to resolve. Humanity does that, and we contribute

AGR:
to it by using the technology and everyday items like buying food or using a car or public transport. It's at a stage right now where it's too late for

AGR:
humanity to turn back from it.

AGR:
We messed up but it's almost like bizarro world, where the 'insane' are sane and the sane are 'insane' and so rigid

ColorStorm:
yeah, I agree, although saying we 'messed up' seems to imply it was an honest mistake, when I think it's more the result of a character flaw.

AGR:
Oh yeah, for sure it's intentional, no honest mistake here anymore. Wherever that is, is long gone

ColorStorm:
I don't see it as intentional, per se. I mean, we don't want specifically to destroy everything. But it's intentional in that it's a side effect of what we tend

ColorStorm:
intend* to do (serve ourselves)

ColorStorm:
also, we're kind of trapped in this lifestyle

ColorStorm:
we're born into it, and we depend on it, in that it's very very difficult to just go live off the grid

ColorStorm:
and we each fall into the trap that we can't do anything for the big picture individually, so we don't try to be more environmentally conscientious

ColorStorm:
and capitalism and politics both serve to set up a system where the least scrupulous people have the most power, so the ringleaders are all evil

ColorStorm:
the ceos, for example.

ColorStorm:
having a conscience only limits what you're willing to do, so it can only be an impediment to making money, so in a free market, only people without conscience

ColorStorm:
end up being CEOs.

ColorStorm:
as for politicians, being successful at politics kind of implies being a sociopath, because you have to manipulate people and say whatever they want to hear,

ColorStorm:
and do whatever's popular

ColorStorm:
so politicians tend to be corrupt and take bribes from the same people who are destroying our planet

ColorStorm:
so the system that puts these types of people at the top is at fault

AGR:
So much to try for in this lifetime

Nothing. It exists, then it goes away.

AGR:
That's true although I want to see what interpretations this question gets. I think even intelligence is earned. Some people may take to things easier but

Some people would argue that intelligence is merely the result of the genetic lottery.

[2022-08-15]

AGR:
What can you be proud or happy with yourself for?

ColorStorm:
We should unconditionally be happy with whatever we are, because all forms of life are inherently valuable and amazing. And loving ourselves is good for ourselves as well as everybody around us. Pride might be a different matter. Maybe we all have things to be proud of, even if they're not so overt that we necessarily realize it. Or maybe pride should only come with successful effort. Or with outstanding qualities. Idk. I once had a dream where I was the author of a book, and some lady came up to me, recognized me, and said she loved my work. Then I felt tremendous pride emanating from my heart. I suppose I only deserve that if I actually write a good book.

AGR:
What is the human touch?

ColorStorm:
In the big scheme of things, death. Not big as in for all time, but big as in considering nature outside the sphere of humanity.

AGR:
I feel like I'm not quite grasping what you mean with the second sentence. This may be the result of me not completely understanding my own question,

AGR:
and your context for it

ColorStorm:
when you say 'the human touch', i take it to mean how a human influences what he comes into contact with. death is our touch because, as a species, we're

ColorStorm:
omnicidal.

ColorStorm:
the second sentence is about how we may not always be omnicidal, maybe in the future we're better

ColorStorm:
and that when i say death is our touch, i'm not thinking of interpersonal relationships so much as how we relate to the non-human

AGR:
I still believe humanity has a heart but businesses are geared toward not caring and maximising profits

ColorStorm:
true

[2022-08-15]

AGR:
Can you be the person you want to be? Why or why not?

ColorStorm:
No. I'm just not psychologically designed to be the person I want, and I can't change it. I don't know if it's conditioning by my abusive parents during upbringing that makes me rigid and guarded so I can't be who I want, or if it's just who I've made myself to be over many lifetimes. Or both. And sometimes I think maybe I'm just fine intrinsically, the only reason I want to be different is to appeal to girls as they happen to be in this world. It's not only that, though, I'm way too shy, so I can't be successful, and I have no backbone, so I can be manipulated and walked on.

AGR:
I do have a part of of me that thinks, we can't help how we're raised in childhood but also seeing another side, sometimes parents can't either

AGR:
It's the life those kids and babies unfortunately had to grow up through

ColorStorm:
I can't understand how my dad could have treated me the way he did. I would never treat another human that way. And I don't think he was that way before he met

ColorStorm:
my mother.

ColorStorm:
But, on the other hand, whatever a person is, there are reasons for it.

I suppose everyone is good and worthy on the most fundamental level.

Far, but I can imagine a person rising up the ranks through charm and persuasion hitting a brick wall when they can no longer avoid the fact that their skill/talent/intellect/whatever isn't up to muster. Maybe that's just my imagination though. And for a con artist there's no such brick wall (except getting caught and convicted).

🫣💔If you ever get into an argument with someone, and they don't reach out, do you consider closing that chapter indefinitely or do you make a move to reconcile?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I guess it depends. How much do I like them? How bad was the argument? Was it because of something bad about them, or was it something more incidental? I don't usually get into arguments with people.. I did with my friend when I was psychotic 12 years ago, and he stopped talking to me, and it was my fault, and I didn't reach out to him, but that could be because my other friend told me that friend stopped talking to me because I was on SSI and not getting a job. I kinda went off on another friend of mine more recently, and afterward I told him I value our friendship, etc.

Also one time when I was a kid the pool filter underneath the ground sprang a leak and water lifted up the top layer of the ground, making little watery mounds over half the yard. It makes me think of something like that (ground+swell, same as with the hill thing). It also briefly makes me think of a well in the ground.

Agree or Disagree - Which side are you on: The world would be a better place if all men had a reversible vasectomy at childhood until they can prove that they are a suitable husband/partner and an upstanding member of society?

ColorStorm:
Definitely disagree, for a few reasons. 1. it's sexist and unfair, why shouldn't women have some form of mandatory birth control too until they can prove the same? plenty of mothers are shitty to their kids. 2. it shouldn't depend so much on whether they're a good husband/partner but on whether they'd be a good father. and even then, there's nothing necessarily wrong with single women raising children. 3. 'upstanding'? according to society's standards? that's very judgmental and full of cultural artifact. for example, being too introverted to be social, not having a decent-paying job, having very unpopular opinions, etc. could all make you not an 'upstanding' person but don't necessarily imply a bad character. 4. either way the whole idea is just authoritarian. 5. it's necessarily extremely subjective to judge who's 'upstanding' or a 'suitable' husband/partner, so there's gonna be a lot of unfairness, 6. if you're going to practice eugenics at least do it right. don't give anyone the right to procreate unless they meet certain genetic qualifications, for example, no genetic weaknesses or diseases, an iq of at least 120, a pretty face, little body hair, etc. etc.

Why do you think the mainstream tells us the heart is on the left side of the chest ?

the misconception that the heart is on the left side of the chest might come from the fact that that's where you feel pain when you have a heart attack (because the arteries are there). also when you 'put your hand over your heart' for the pledge of allegiance you put your right hand over the left side of your chest.

I think it's relatively normal for people to have affairs with other people when their spouses/SOs are away for years. Also, I have little or no sympathy for people who childishly care what their SOs do with other people.

idk, i'm just mad that nobody ever listens to me that 'cheating' shouldn't even be a concept

they're just going with society, but i think society itself is primitive/childish in this respect (and in like every other respect)

I don’t know because I’m not sure I could feel betray and hurt just because society said that was what i was supposed to feel. What came first? The concept

yeah, it's true that cultural patterns don't come from a vacuum. they all ultimately stem from human nature. but I think culture could be drastically different

ColorStorm:
in this respect and everyone would go along with it. though it would have to be different in more-underlying ways

ColorStorm:
we'd have to approach relationships with a different mindset

ColorStorm:
we'd have to understand the true purpose of relationships and love

ColorStorm:
for that, our cultural mindset would have to be way more advanced

Triple peanut butter cup/swirl. I also like chocolate trinity (publix brand) (which is very dark chocolate for an ice cream, it's a lot like godiva belgian dark chocolate ice cream (which i think has been discontinued for a long time now)), chocolate cherish passion (publix brand) (cherry and dark chocolate ribbons and/or chips or whatever), mint chocolate chip, cookie dough, dulce de leche or caramel, egg nog (only seen/had it once, it was delicious), coffee, coconut, pistachio, maybe some others.

Thoughts on the six degrees of separation theory?

ColorStorm:
It seems plausible. There may be exceptions, like people living in the woods off the grid who don't have contact with anybody. I'd say also shut-ins and people locked up in basements, but they probably know at least one person, but then, maybe since it's only one person that makes it seven degrees from everyone else instead of six.

Are all people secretly unique, but want to fit in to the point of not showing the flaws and bizarreness openly or their quirks? That doesn't have to mean no improvements along the way.

There are levels of unique. Nobody is an exact replica of anybody else, there are always differences in details, but some people seem to have the same basic personality as others or be analogues of other people. And they may not be interesting enough for the points where they differ to matter.

Can you tell me one thing, big or small, that you’ve never told anyone else?

ColorStorm:
Last night I dreamed about someone in IRC. He had found some very special books, I think in some lady's possessions that were now his for some reason, and he wanted to return them, but he didn't know where to return them to. I told him there was a popular company/website that lets you rent books, but I couldn't remember the name (now I realize I know of no such company). I don't remember what else happened. In my dreams I wanted to tell the person about the dream (I even dreamed that I did), but when I woke up I didn't see any point in it. Often in dreams I feel excited to tell someone something I dreamed about and am sure I will when I wake up, but then when I wake up I don't bother. Partially because I don't remember enough and partially because the words are never nearly as amazing as the experience itself. Also I feel passionate about doing other things in my dreams (like writing some program or another, building something, etc.) and think about it constantly until I wake up and then don't see any point in it when I wake up.

Anyone remember Bethany Hamilton? She was the girl that surfer who got her arm bit off by a shark. They made a movie about her. She is the nicest girl you'll ever hear. She's still thriving, still competing at a high level. I guess she's in her 30's now. Recently they allowed male surfers who "identify" as women to compete against female surfers. She spoke out. And she is never poltical. But she said this isn't about discrimination it's about what's fair. And that isn't fair. During national women's day they invite male surfers to put the name of a woman that inspires them on their jerseys. Several guys wanted to put Bethany Hamilton's name. And the league forbade them from doing it. Fair?

ColorStorm:
Just more bullshit.

BidenLadysMan:
She could have taken the route that sadly it seems the left has when it comes to sports. The sad truth is the league gave her a hard time when she returned. After her injury she had to prove she could keep up with only one arm. They were skeptical letting her come back. But they let these guys into the female division. Insanity.

LaDamaX:
How do define or understand faith to be?

ColorStorm:
A lot of people who aren't religious like to think of faith as "belief without evidence" or "belief without reason," but I think faith is a lot more nuanced than that. Religious people take the original concept of faith and abuse it by claiming it's their means of knowing the Bible or the Koran or whatever is true, that's why non-religious people think of faith that way. My definition of faith is close to 🌺 AnayaOhNo's, "Having hope and belief in a positive outcome or reality through unknown means?", but with the addition that the source of this hope and belief doesn't necessarily have to be arbitrary or wishful thinking. It could come from experience--many, many lifetimes, eons of experience, perhaps--that we remember on a soul level but don't have access to the specifics of on an egoic/brainal level.

Do you think there will be a backlash to all the censorship, the "wokeness" the indoctrination of our kids? I do, enter Trump 2024. Ppl think I'm crazy. But I think with all I mentioned, combined with the fact we see what a Biden administration looks like. And it ain't peaches right now. We can't pay for gas, food, our babies have no formula. Drag queens are teaching our 5 yr olds about sex. Like the kingdom is burning dudes 😆

ColorStorm:
I think there will also be a massive backlash against all these ultra-conservative things the supreme court is doing/planning to do. So I don't know who's going to win. Probably the liberals because society has nomentum, it's going somewhere, and "progressiveness" seems to be what's increasing. And all the conservatives are old people who will die off and the younger generations are all being more and more indoctrinated with wokeness. Though I guess maybe both sides of the culture war will become equally irritated with each other. We're only becoming more and more polarized. I don't know what it will culminate in if not civil war. Though in numbers, the liberals are winning. The conservatives only have leverage because they're more willing to subvert democracy, and because it's the preferred party of the rich and the rift between the rich and poor keeps increasing in a runaway train.

BidenLadysMan:
The thing I've noticed ppl have short attention spans. They vote based on what's hurting them in the moment. And it's two things, the economy and crime.

(I've been fully vaccinated booster and all. But I have a thought) Pfizer came up with the vaccine. Then their scientists determined we needed more vaccine shots. Is it OK that the company that profits from vaccines advise you to take more? Just asking

ColorStorm:
It's not too bad as long as the CDC agrees, I guess. It's still not ideal but things are so bad in the world that "less than ideal" might as well be a breath of fresh air. Actually I'm not really sure it's okay even in the case that the CDC agrees, because the CDC makes money from vaccines too. it's practically a corporation itself, which I think is extremely unjust. The CDC should be neutral/not have any conflicts of interest, obviously. So we lack a non-biased authority to tell us whether we should get vaccines or boosters or not, so I guess Pfizer telling us we should is as good as it can be. :/

You'll never change anyone's mind, and assaulting someone with negativity doesn't help them, it just becomes a two-way shit throwing contest. And a wise person feels no need to argue with anyone.

Should we have schools teaching kids about sex? I don't have kids but I think I'd want to teach them about that. Of course now we want to teach kids when they're 3 yrs old. Parents today are like: "look I don't have time to teach my kids about sex, I have to go and bash in the skull of a MAGA person ok"🤣😝

ColorStorm:
Kids should definitely be taught about sex. It won't hurt them, sex isn't evil or unnatural, and you don't know how early they'll have sexual encounters (often unwanted). 3 is a little early, IMO.

BidenLadysMan:
Ikr. I don't know why or how ppl think teaching them about sex that young is a good idea.. but I wonder if parents shouldn't try to talk to their kids about sex

LaDamaX:
Sexual education starts early, for example— teaching them the correct names for sexual reproductive parts and consent. For example, if a toddler doesn’t want

@BidenLadysMan you only think children shouldn't be taught about sex because you bought into this cultural story that sex is somehow tainted or impure and robs

ColorStorm:
us of our innocence

ColorStorm:
that's all made-up nonsense, of course

BidenLadysMan:
Not so much that. But it needs to be taught when they're old enough to understand the concept of it.. 3, 4 or 5 is way too young..

BidenLadysMan:
It's disturbing if you're a kid. I understand teaching them where not to be touched and what no means. But what some ppl

BidenLadysMan:
want to do is teach graphic sexual concepts to toddlers. Not to mention some studies suggest kids exposed to sexual images early become hyper sexual later on

@BidenLadysMan I agree that teaching toddlers about sex may be a bit early, like I said, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be teaching *children* about sex.

Oh I think we, as in parents should be teaching kids about sex, not teachers in 2nd grade. Idk if there's a magic age, but atleast when they turn 13..

Depends on the nature of that world. It could be anything. They could have artificial lighting that's similar to our natural lighting, for example. And the biological makeup of its inhabitants would probably be such that they're adapted to being content with the environment they're in, me included. More likely though, life wouldn't exist in a sunless world, and if it did, it would all freeze to death, and the life that didn't freeze to death (maybe because it found heat coming from the planet itself) would die due to the rest of the food chain dying.

Of course departing is sometimes the best choice. Why wouldn't it be? If you're living in a sucky home (for example, toxic parents), or if you live in a sucky neighborhood (for example, lots of crime, or it's a poor neighborhood and you can somehow afford better, or it's rural or a small town and you want a big city, or vice versa, or the weather's not good, or you live among rednecks, or religious fanatics, or the laws in your area are backward, etc.), or a sucky state, or a sucky country, then there's probably a better place for you out there somewhere, and there's no reason you shouldn't move to a better place. I mean, there are reasons - like finance, being far away from your friends and family, having to change jobs, disadvantages of the place you're moving to, etc. - but if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, why not?

What song makes you feel like smoking on the balcony, even though you may not smoke or have a balcony? Me—https://youtu.be/ExZTUsRorHU

It's in my list of all-time favorite songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WyJhtM7T0s To answer your question, I'm not sure. The idea of smoking is horrible to me, but if I go with it anyway, after a few seconds of thinking, this song comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1BrOjrR-pI

In New Jersey. If you get a high paying job in the field you studied for. You get interest free payments to pay off your college loans. Ok, but if you don't get a high paying job. You don't have to pay anything i.e free college.. oh yea no room for fraud there! If I went to college I rack up a debt, work at a burger King for a yr, be absolved of my debt. And then go pursue my career. Ah dems, they never learn 🤣🙄

ColorStorm:
Maybe if you get a high paying job in the field you studied for even a year later you still pay for it?

BidenLadysMan:
This is where it gets confusing. They give you 90 days after you graduate to land a job that pays more than 55,000 a year. Then you start paying it back...

BidenLadysMan:
If you land say a 40,000 dollar a yr job (still a good job) you pay nothing back But you can choose to pay them back if you hit that threshold down the line.

I wonder how many will choose to pay it back. I'm thinking zero😄

Do you focus less or more when listening to music?

ColorStorm:
I'm always focused on something, whether it's my own thoughts, something I'm doing, something I'm watching or listening to, etc. One time a girl saw one of my graduation photos and said, "you look like you're very sure of something." I was just sure of whatever I was staring at at the time. If listening to music I'm focusing on the music. If I'm doing something else while the music is playing I'm likely to miss the music and have to play it over again if it's something I want to listen to (e.g. for the first time).

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't mind and it might even be nice, if not for the stairs. I don't like stairs because they're dangerous and you have to concentrate whenever you use them so you don't fall. And even then mistakes can happen. They're especially dangerous once you get old, or if an old person is visiting. I have an aunt who broke her legs going down her son's stairs.

Yes, I think of course displaying is better. That's more multidimensional, interesting and direct.

What do you think makes drugs such a huge issue?

ColorStorm:
If you mean illicit drugs, I guess because they're a trap that ruins lives. And maybe they have the potential to become really popular if not kept in check, like in China where millions of people were addicted to opium and it was devastating to the economy. I guess psychoactive drugs don't usually ruin lives, but they do have a tendency of making people see past all the bullshit you have to infused with to be a cog in the system, which makes them a threat to the establishment. They can also be dangerous, at least if you don't have a sitter. And if you take them too much they can have significant permanent effects on your brain. If you mean pharmaceutical drugs, I think they're so popular and in demand because people live unhealthy lifestyles, especially bad diets and lack of exercise, so they need to be patched up with drugs to keep them functioning. Also due to genetic drift due to the proliferation of medical science annulling natural selection, there are lots of genetic diseases that need treatment. Also due to an increasingly fucked up culture there's tons of psychological issues, and in today's scientistic society doctors tend to want to treat them all with drugs. I guess a lot of them can only be treated with drugs, maybe because that's the only way we know how.

When I was in London I found a young guy laying on the ground unconsciously at night and he didn't react when i tried to wake him up. My friends and me called an ambulance. Do you think it was the right thing to do or was it exagerated and we should have just let him lay there and assume he just had to sober up by himself? He didn't seem like a homeless person if that makes a difference

ColorStorm:
I have no idea. I guess people should call an ambulance whenever someone is lying unconscious on the ground, because some/many of those times it's an actual emergency. If he was just passed out drunk, I guess it's kind of his own fault for not planning well.

How do you sleep?

ColorStorm:
I have to sleep on my side because if I sleep on my back I get sleep apnea, and if I lay on my front my heart has problems after a while. It's always a challenge finding places to put my arms. If I'm sleeping on my left side, sometimes I put my left arm under my pillow straight out. But if I'm sleeping on my right, I can't put my right arm under my pillow because it will make my rotator cuff hurty & sensitive. So I tend to put the top half of my arm straight down my body and the bottom half sticking up resting against me, or just the whole thing straight down my body, or maybe angled outward somewhat. No matter what I do it's uncomfortable and I run the risk of my fingers being numb when I wake up. =P

The Russians used something called a vacuum bomb. It sucked the air out of the area it hits and it vaporizers its victims. It's deemed an "illegal" weapon. Wtf is an illegal weapon? All weapons kill. It's such a strange thing to think about.

ColorStorm:
War is so horrific that it's pretty bizarre to pick and choose what acts of war are "acceptable" and what aren't. But, I guess if war is going to happen anyway, and somehow these policies of what's acceptable actually influence how war is done somehow, then it's a good thing?

What's your favorite vegetable? Personally, altho you can't stop the brocc, it's spinach. Spinach like the Popeye.

Depends on how it's made. Baked broccoli is really good, especially with parmesan baked onto it. Bok choy is really good the way my dad makes it. Cucumber is probably the best as far as raw vegetables go. Radishes are good too.

Would you be OK if people in some region of your country wanted to separate from the government and become an independent nation-state? Would your answer be different if that region produced a big portion of your country's wealth? I mean your might earn less money if it became an independent country.

ColorStorm:
Texas really wants to become an independent country, that would be great, fuck them. Though I have the feeling they'd be desperate for financial support shortly afterward and I'm not sure whether we'd give it to them. We might help them out without getting their taxes back so they'd just be a drain on us.

Have you seen a relationship dymanic that you thought looked terrifying?

ColorStorm:
When I rented a room in a house with about 10 rooms, this lesbian couple came in and took over. They did whatever they wanted, causing chaos, and the owners couldn't kick her out because of some law. The walls were super thin and you could hear them arguing in their room 24/7. One of them was constantly badgering the other one for no good reason, just finding the most trivial reasons to, and the other was constantly crying and apologizing or trying to defend herself, I don't remember which. It was so awful.

I have no interest in growing. I think people want to grow because they're taught by society that they're not enough the way they are now. I guess there could be other reasons, like they see their own shortcomings, or they associate growing with adventure, but the idea of growing is to me like how the idea of something being "lovey-dovey" or "airy-fairy" is to some others. Same with the idea of concentrating on my own breath.

Should sex education in schools also include good sex and foreplay techniques?

ColorStorm:
No, I don't think so, regarding good sex and foreplay, people should just do what comes naturally. It's not necessary to teach them this. But, porn seems to mislead a lot of people about what good sex and foreplay (like some have said, porn seems to be many people's primary source of sex education), so I think sex ed should talk about porn and how it's misleading and other destructive characteristics of it (scientifically known properties, not puritanical opinions).

Thoughts on Scalpers? Also if you were desperare for money would you ever turn to scalping?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure what scalping is. Isn't that like buying tickets, like for a concert, and then selling them at much increased price? I don't see anything wrong with it. It's supply and demand. If people are scalping then it means that there aren't enough tickets to go around to meet the demand at the given cost, so if it weren't for scalpers, then whether you could find a ticket or not, especially at the last minute, would depend on luck rather than how much you're willing to spend. So scalpers make it possible for people who are really desperate for a ticket to get one.

been binge watching old crime shows. sensibly was different than. One was from 1970, about a guy who made sex videos of his gf and others without their knowledge. His girl was so upset that her family and friends might see her in that way that she killed herself. it wasn't real. Today she'd sell it on onlyfans for $20😪 imagine a world when women had modesty about their bodies. Oh MAGA 😆 Do you think it's good for young girls to be pressured and praised into showing their goods?

ColorStorm:
Why the need for "modesty"? It's just conservative hoopla. Showing one's body harms *no one*. If they're pressured to, like you mention, that's not good of course, but I doubt most Onlyfans girls do it because they're pressured. In a healthy, sane society, people wouldn't be afraid to show their bodies and there wouldn't be such a stigma against it.

I wonder where self respect plays a role? Teaching young girls to respect themselves and let boys wait to see the goods.🤔

BidenLadysMan:

I do agree that the victims deserve more empathy than the perpetrator. I have found myself thinking before how the perpetrators can get nicer

treatment and rehabilitation than the victims that'll be scarred for life.

On fox news. The ladies get a few mins at the end of the hour to talk, one lady talked about how rough 2020 was for her. She got breast cancer and her husband left her. The other woman goes on to talk about how WONDERFUL her life is going, how blessed she feels to have her husband and children. if your "friend" just told u how rough she had it. Maybe not talk about how great your life is. That's why legacy media is dying. At these ppl can't relate to you. They have no decency even for eachother

I don't have a favorite cold weather soup, I'm not a big soup person, I don't like the concept of soup (eat your food or drink your drink, don't drink your food), except I am fond of French onion soup, and when I'm sick I find that chicken noodle soup helps.

The oldest celebrity I'm attracted to is Chelsea Handler, assuming she's still good-looking, and I don't know what she looks like without makeup, and I'm wary of being attracted to older celebs because they've virtually all had "work done" and I don't believe in anything fake, and she's not significantly older than me, she's 3 years older. :P

What defines “sexy”?

ColorStorm:
It's different for each beholder of sexiness, but it always comes down to whatever it is about a person that someone sexually attracted to them. Their body, the clothes they wear, the way they walk, their voice, their personality, etc. Although, unfortunately, the term is being abused nowadays and expanded to mean attractive in any way. For example, an ad might call their product (which has nothing to do with sex appeal) "sexy." It's like they're sexualizing everything under the sun. It's pretty idiocracy-esque.

DUST:
Why do guys think women prefer big penises? Is it because they think it's more pleasurable?

ColorStorm:
You mean they don't? Though apparently they don't really care about length, only about girth, at least as far as pleasure is concerned. Other than that, I'd say it's because guys are very sex-minded and their sexuality is culminated in their penis, symbolically, and their penis also represents their manhood (cuz only guys have penises, cuz it's how they please and/or conquer women sexually, etc.), and their manhood and dominance in that area is attached to their ego, and naturally a bigger penis represents more manhood/dominance (because bigger is better, culturally), so guys are going to value a bigger penis, so of course they're going to extend that to thinking that women prefer larger penises. At least I guess that's how it happens on the cultural level. On the individual level, guys just think girls like larger penises because that's the cultural story, that's what men tell each other, etc.

DUST:
Actually, sex with big penises can be painful and uncomfortable. Not to say than it doesn't matter how deep it gets because the more sensitive part of a vagina

DUST:
Is in the beginning. The rest is basically numb when it's about pleasure

How does self-confidence work? I mean....what does it takes to get it? Why do some people seem to have it from birth and for others, it seems impossible to grow it?

ColorStorm:
I think it has a lot to do with whether your parents, and to a lesser degree your peers, treat you right during your formative years. It basically comes down to self-esteem. With a lot of work and therapy you can sort of mitigate the effects of bad parenting, but I'm not sure you can ever totally undo them.

DUST:
I kinda agree. And I said "kinda" bc I thought of my sister and I. We both have the same parents. We both were raised by them but we both are super different when it's about this. So it makes me wonder how is that possible? Why is she so fucking self-confident? And why couldn't i be like that too? Her self esteem is so high that sometimes it makes me roll my eyes.

There may have been other moments I was used after that that I don't remember.

Dogboy2709:
What even is Reality? Do any of us truley exsist? Do others we interact with exsist, or are we all creating our own illusions of reality with our minds?

ColorStorm:
I know I exist. No matter what I happen to be wrong about, I can't be wrong that I exist. I can't think "I don't exist" and be right, because if I don't exist then there's nobody to think that. If you exist, then you can be sure you exist for the same reason. But you couldn't be sure that I exist without any possible doubt. As for what reality is, modern-day physics has shown us that reality is nothing remotely like we intuitively think it is, and we may be able to describe it mathematically, but we have no idea how to make philosophical sense of it. Plato's allegory of the cave also shows us that we don't necessarily see reality anything like how it really is. I believe others exist, but I can't prove it to myself. But to deny that others exist would be to deny one's common sense, sensibility, and heart. It would also make one a monster because they wouldn't have a reason to have compassion for anyone. I think, even though I can't prove that others exist, it's by far the most likely scenario, because it's what appears to be, and alternative theories are presumptuous, reaching, and outlandish. However, sometimes I wonder if everyone exist in their own worlds. Like, I'm really the only one living in a place like Earth, but the other people in my life are real, we just are able to communicate with each other in each other's own "languages" and don't even know it. It's just a natural characteristic of life to commune across barriers. In this way we could be creating our own illusions of reality yet also communicating with real people. Really, though, I think there are beings in any possible reality you can conceive, and those beings in the same realities (such as this one) can communicate with each other. Also, this reality (like any other, probably) could be a consensual "illusion" or creation of our collective minds that we all (all beings in this reality) partake in. So that's another way reality could be an "illusion" we're creating yet other entities in our lives could still be real. I put "illusion" in quotes because I think that reality being a creation of an individual's or a collective's mind doesn't really necessarily mean it's an illusion. Something is an illusion when it appears to be something on the face of it, then appears to be something else on deeper inspection. If reality is a creation of the mind, its true nature isn't necessarily incompatible with its superficial appearance. One could simply stop assuming it's *not* a creation of the mind, look at reality, and think, "this is a creation of my mind" or "this is a creation of our minds," and they'd be right, and nothing about how they see reality or what they know of it would be different except for that one assumption.

A go fund me was started for a woman who died at the age of 30. They were offered a large sum of money but the donor wants to know how the woman died before donating the money. Is a family obligated to share how their loved one died if they ask for money on a charity site?

ColorStorm:
I don't know that "obligated" is the right word, but it seems the donor is in control here, no way around that. If they want the money, they'd better spill it.

ColorStorm:
Even if it happens to be illegal for the donor to condition the donation on knowing that information, that just means they won't get their money, unless they

ColorStorm:
circumvent the law.

ColorStorm:
But I guess they could then lie about it, and the question would be whether they're obligated to tell the truth..

I guess in that case the ethical thing would be to tell the truth. (but what if the donor's criterion is bigoted, unreasonable, etc.? I think still.)

AGR:
What lights you up at the darkest times?

ColorStorm:
I have a trick that I'm convinced can do anyone wonders, *especially* at their darkest times. Examine the thoughts and beliefs in your head--I do this by kind of shining a spiritual light down into my mind and looking around--and look for any negative thoughts or beliefs you have about yourself. Wherever you find them, change or eliminate them. This has made me feel more socially confident, it's spiritually awakened me, it's made my aura white, it's gotten me through dark times, it's made me immune to haters, even feeling compassion for them and remorse that I made them feel all that negativity, it's put me on square one where the will to survive seemed like a pure opportunity, it's made me happy and at peace with myself, etc. While a person is at it, they should probably try changing or eliminating negative thoughts and beliefs they have about other people, too. It's only fair and balanced.

AGR:
That's a significant change. We can be like an entirely different person under those circumstances

ColorStorm:
Banana peppers, extra tomato sauce, pineapple, black olives, mushrooms, garlic, spinach, tomatoes, bacon, and maraschino cherries, though I've only had those once or twice because they don't have that as a topping where I live but they do in Michigan. And then I smother it in Domino's garlic butter sauce.

Do you want a job that challenges you?

ColorStorm:
All jobs are too challenging for me, so no. Besides that, though, and counting that there are different forms of challenge, I'd still say not really, I guess, because I wouldn't want my livelihood/bread and butter to depend on meeting challenges that it's not garaanteed I could meet. Also I'd feel stupid and inferior if I couldn't meet some challenge (I'm thinking intellectual challenges now).

It usually comes naturally (including whatever overthinking I may or may not do), but sometimes I've just had some kind of recent (temporary) transformation and I find that the wirds don't flow out nearly as easily. It throws me off of my groove and I really have to think about how to word an answer in tbat case.

I just got a toothpaste (not sold in retail) that tastes exactly like mentos. Have you ever tasted a product that had the same taste as another one?

ColorStorm:
Mint oreos taste exactly like toothpaste. To be fair, lots of things taste like mint, but it's also about the consistency of the filling, which is the same as toothpaste. It's a shame that what would probably otherwise be a good profuct is ruined by the existence of toothpaste.

I think my purpose was just to inspire people and help them to grow just by being me and interacting with them, but I was too psychologically fucked up by my parents to ever realize that purpose. Once a psychic with a following told me on IRC that my purpose is to bring magic back into this world. She said, "I don't know where it came from, but it came quickly and it came powerfully."

I guess it's possible that there are regulations are guidelines on how long or how far you're supposed to signal before the turn/lane change which I wasn't aware of so it's possible that I didn't do it correctly.

Wieselmann:
How would civilization change if everyone got to know that aliens will arrive in 150 years with the goal to destroy humanity?

ColorStorm:
There'd be a lot more movies and TV shows about aliens, especially regarding their conflicts with humanity, and military spending, maybe especially the space-based stuff, would go way up. It might also give rise to some sort of global military alliance, it might affect the politics between nations, might make them more unified. Hostility toward all aliens real and imagined would increase dramatically, so those aliens who are visiting us currently might be more dissuaded and rarer to witness. I feel it might also make sooner the point of First Contact (not necessarily with an alien species that's hostile toward us--I think the vast majority of them aren't), but I'm not sure why.

There's been plans to build the Titanic 2 since 2008. Engineers have plotted to try and build a new version of the doomed ship and take the maiden voyage. I have two questions. Would you trust going on the Titanic 2 and if you do, will you paint me naked like one of your French girls?😉😝😆

ColorStorm:
I would certainly go on the Titanic 2, at least if I had a reason to go on a cruise ship. I'm not superstitious (okay, I am, but not in this way), and I don't think it was anything about the *build* of the Titanic that caused it to sink. If anything, it was safer than most ships. And the answer to the second question is no. 😆

Is it better to feel love (and heartbreak), even if its one sided, than to never love at all?

Yes, I think so. To hold a soft spot for someone just because of who they are, even if they'll never love you back, is human. To just bitterly force your affection for them to shut down and die because you can't have them is self-murder.

The Man with the hair, The Trump is returning to run for president in 2024. If you're into politics it's interesting. The belief is DeSantis (who hasn't said he'd run) will take one part of the GOP and Trump will take his crazies. And split the party. Ppl fail to see is do the powers that supply the money in the GOP want Trump to run? It's not about the people it rarely is😄 it's what do the overlords wants. Which btw Dems have as well

ColorStorm:
fingers crossed that he's in jail by then. I can't believe a president who stole top secret documents, refused to return them, and did unknown things with them and left them in an unknown location would be able to be President again. I think DeSantis is definitely going to run. When he was asked if he intended to carry out his full term as governor of Florida if he won, he wouldn't answer.

Dogboy2709:
Trumpers never listen to reason. They think everything he did was fine.

ColorStorm:
yeah but I mean, legally, he shouldn't be allowed to run again, imo

Dogboy2709:
I agree 100%.

BidenLadysMan:
I agree too. I'm surprised it doesn't disqualify Trump from running but nothing disqualifies unless charges are brought up on him.

BidenLadysMan:
Because I work at a nursing home Fox News is on all day. And so far today. I haven't seen much Trump coverage. I'm sure Hannity later will be creaming on him.

BidenLadysMan:

I think there would be no banks, credit card companies, or financing, because they'd all go out of business because they couldn't offset the cost of defaulters with the interest of non-defaulters. Even with no defaulters (or, with banks, even considering that you have to have collateral), they wouldn't make any money so they'd have no reason to exist.

Do you have an attraction to socks? 🤨

ColorStorm:
Kinda. Like I mentioned the other day, I like leaving my socks on sometimes because nothing reminds me more that I'm a lowly animal than my feet.

LaDamaX:
Do you generally out out of the takeaway box or do you plate your food?

ColorStorm:
If I'm going to eat it all, I'll probably eat out of the takeaway box. Or maybe if I'm going to heat it up I'll put it on a plate/in a bowl out of fear that the styrofoam might melt. If I'm only going to eat some of it, I'll put it in a plate/bowl so I don't get my germs and spit in it for the next person.

Another tweet that head writer on She-hulk said that she feels more afraid of a white,drunk frat guy staring at her in the middle of the night than anything else. Well, statistically if she's attacked by a guy at night, I mean, I mean. He's not going to be white😏😆 statistics are not feelings, you can feel as you want. That's like saying I FEEL like I'm going to be attacked by a shark while sitting in my bathtub. Well...You're not😂

Everyone's anti straight white cis males these days, just because it's in. They don't have minds of their own.

How do you spot the difference between someone being nice (because they are a nice person) and someone being nice as an attempt to get close to you?

I don't know, if they ask you out, they're trying to get close to you? :p Also I feel like someone who's just trying to get close to you would be more agreeable/less likely to express disagreement about anything.

LaDamaX:
snails eating the stucco off of houses. Lol… Florida has some interesting wildlife issues.

That's exactly what the peacocks do, they walk around our neighborhood. We feed them so they spend a lot of time at our house. Sometimes there's like 10 of them

Would you rather study a martial art for 10 + years, or develop your own for 30 to 50 years?

ColorStorm:
Hard to choose, I doubt my ability to come up with a system that's better than the best existing system, who am I to do that? So I should probably choose the former. But then, I am pretty smart and intuitive, maybe I'm not giving myself enough credit? Though I'd need someone to fight with all those years to develop my system, or multiple people, and I'm not that social. Also, if it actually takes me 30 years.. I'd be in my 70s and hardly able to fight effectively by the time I perfect it.

Of course, I'm not really sure it matters whether the trash gets dumped in an official Earth-raping area or an unofficial one; there's that.

KFC still till this day have kept their chicken recipe a secret. Some have gotten close to cracking it but never exactly. If they released their recipe to the public what difference do you think would it make? We know how to play baseball but ppl still go to ball games🤔

ColorStorm:
i hear they use 16 or whatever the number is herbs & spices so it would probably be not worth the trouble to make at home. but what about their competitors?

BidenLadysMan:
I guess competition could be a reason lol but even if a start up got their recipe it still would beat KFC cause they have name recognition 😄

BidenLadysMan:
*wouldn't beat* lol I mean😝

kfc is really expensive though. if they have a wide profit margin, their competitors may offer the same product for a lot cheaper

Is being unafraid possible?

ColorStorm:
Yes, but it might depend on who you are/how your personality developed. I think, though, that ultimately any state of mind is possible. I know I'm unafraid of some things that other people are afraid of, and I've been unafraid of things that I'm normally afraid of, and also things that *everybody* is afraid of, while I've been psychotic. =P

Can always count on facts to ruin a liberal's day. Facts ruin all their fun, climate change, the vaccine. All get shredded by Facts. My favorite story is Vice president Kamla Harris said she listened to rapper Eminem when she was in college. She graduated college in 1986. Eminem was born in 1972. He was 14 when she graduated college.. how the hell did she listen to his music? 😆 Facts dude, ruins their lives 🤣

ColorStorm:
I think the science of climate change and vaccines is well established, so whether the facts seem to support them must depend on who you listen to. I think you're one step away from being a QAnoner.. =P

BidenLadysMan:
Ow lol I'm not that nuts😝.. the science based facts we've learned about both of those things is very different than what was first presented.

What kind of noodles do you like the most?

ColorStorm:
Depends on what's going with them, I guess. I like ravioli and tortellini because they have stuff in them. Other than that and a couple of other types of pasta that can have stuff in them, they're all mostly the same. Except angel hair. That stuff changes the taste, and I don't like it. My favorite of the others may be penne, but it makes little difference. Although spaghetti is my second least favorite because it's difficult to eat and unaesthetic.

Wieselmann:
What are your top 3 fragrances? (You don't have to name perfumes)

ColorStorm:
My first is a scent I smelled once that I couldn't identify, so I can't tell you. It was very strong and seemed plant-like. My second (or perhaps my first) is something I smell out of the blue every once in a while, so I can't identify that one either, but it's very similar to French vanilla perfume (I don't think it's that though). My third would technically be French Vanilla perfume, but that's similar to the second one, so I'll say pine or balsam fir. Actually, the first is probably a smell I hallucinated once, the first time I was starting to become psychotic. I smelled it with my *entire body*, which I had never thought was possible. I called the smell "the beginning of the beginning" and likened it to a blue-green astral flower.

BidenLadysMan:
Do we have too much content? (Video games, movies, streaming services etc) I know it's a 1st world problem to the eighth degree:D but what do you think

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. I mean, ultimately I think we should probably all be hunting and gathering, building huts and primitive tools, etc., but as long as we live in a technological civilization and are dooming the planet anyway, maybe being entertained is better than not being entertained. People probably learn in some way from TV shows too (but probably not as much as from books), not necessarily as in facts but as in emotional intelligence. Video games probably not so much, I see those as a total waste of time, but I guess that's easy for me to say since I don't usually enjoy them. I guess you could argue that if people weren't glued to their screens so much they'd socialize in person more, which is something more real. Or maybe they wouldn't and they'd just be bored.

BidenLadysMan:
I miss having to cruise for stuff, some of my favorite shows growing up were ones I found on my own🙂

The debate continues on whether Will Smith should have his award taken away for smacking Chris Rock. Well when Woody Allen (kinda of a pedo) gives back his 3 awards and Roman Polanski (fleeing rape charges) gives back his award. Then we'll talk.. We can play all day Hollywood 🤣

ColorStorm:
I think committing a crime (a minor one, no less) has nothing to do with acting performance or whether he should be rewarded for it. The Oscars are not the police, it's not their function to fight/deter crime. The fact that the crime happened to happen *at the Oscars* seems incidental to me. And Chris Rock was out of line anyway (though he may not have known that Will's wife had alopecia, but that's not Will's fault).

Do you think Europe will ever take back USA ? It was a huge loss in which ended the dream of Europe to rule the world.

ColorStorm:
USA has many times more military power than any other country in the world, so the USA would have to die first, and then it wouldn't be such a victory to take it back. You'd get some more land, I guess. And it would still be a far cry from taking over the world.

ColorStorm:
otoh I guess countries are always decimated when they're taken over from losing the war? idk. and you'd gain a lot of natural resources, it's probably our natural resources (and our separation from other countries by water) that made us so powerful.

Danger:
The Americans wanted independence cz Europe sucks.

Don't get me wrong. The British and the French where fighting, then Spain then Portugal. The bottom line Europe wasn't a good partner.

Frustrated, maybe angry that she doesn't want you sexually or romantically, forever holding out hope so continuing to be her friend and be nice to her, hoping she doesn't find another boyfriend in the meantime, maybe being too chickenshit to tell her how you feel or to ask her out, maybe knowing you blew it by not asking her out early on and trying to be friends with her instead

If you participate in Halloween, do you have a problem with serving candy to trick-or-treaters who are in their teens? What if they seem older than teens, what's the age limit?

ColorStorm:
I don't have a problem with that at all. And, in my experience, the vast majority of trick-or-treaters are in their teens. I don't have a problem serving to adults either. Why be a downer? It's supposed to be a fun holiday for all, no need to gatekeep.

I should add that I don't remember an adult ever coming to our door trick-or-treating. I think adults trick-or-treating is exceedingly rare.

I have no moral qualm about being "unproductive." I sleep until I'm tired of staying in bed anymore and then I find entertaining crap to do (mostly my daily routine) so I'm not bored to death. I'm often looking for things to do, but out of boredom, and because very few things actually interest me anymore, not because I feel bad about being unproductive.

The olfactory one was a really beautiful smell that I smelled with my *entire body*, I didn't know that was possible, it was cool. I called the smell "the beginning of the beginning." The voices I heard, only three times, were all helpful, not the usual badgering crap that schizophrenics get.

[From the show "This Morning"] Do short skirts invite sexual harassment?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. By "invite" if you mean justify, I guess not (though it's ridiculous what can count as "sexual harassment nowadays). If by "invite" you mean "cause to be more likely," then probably, but I don't know, I'd have to see a study or something.

I can't say for sure though because I live in a country where the metric system isn't the default.

No, I can't stand listening to someone dictate a book. You have to fully accept their voice and energy, you have to want to and be able to listen at the exact speed they're talking, if you miss a part or want to listen over again for some reason it's a pain in the ass as opposed to just moving your eyes a little bit, pausing for a second isn't as easy, etc.

It helps me when I find out other people are as miserable as I am because of similar bad luck in life, but as for any other specific events, no, I don't think it really helps. I don't think there's anything they could say that would be helpful, not even the usual "things will be ok" or "be strong" or "I'm sorry to hear that" or whatever.

BidenLadysMan:
Alex Jones is ordered to pay the victims families of the sandy hook shooting almost a billion dollars. He claimed the shooting was fake. It's terrible to think that babies was fake. But I have to ask. How many ppl have said and still do that 9/11 was fake? Lots of ppl. They've written books about it. Documentaries and all. No one is ever sued for a billion dollars.. so why him? Maybe to shut down a dissenting voice. That mostly is crazy but sometimes he's right about politicians 🤔

ColorStorm:
Maybe he did more than just claim it was fake? Maybe he went after the victims or their families in some way? Idk. As for 9/11, it being fake is a much more popular conspiracy theory, too many people espouse it to sue all of them, I guess. And probably none of them have the money to make it worth it.

BidenLadysMan:
I think a few of his crazy fans. One peed on the grave of a kid. There was harassment and all that. It is sick. It's still a stretch to be sued for that much

BidenLadysMan:
Like you say though they assume he has the money. Which makes it an even less noble lawsuit. They only sued because he has money.

Tbh they may never see that money. He hasn't got nearly that much. More money might stack up there's another case next month I think

Tell me if you can think of why. Mom and dad, Peanut Gallery, Master bedroom, Brainstorm. Blindsided/blindspot

ColorStorm:
mom and dad - denies gender fluidity. peanut gallery, don't know, because some people are allergic to peanuts? master bedroom, because it invokes the master/slave mentality. brainstorm, no idea. blindsided/blindspot, i guess because it somehow insults or appropriates blind people or something.

ColorStorm:
oh brainstorm is probably because some people experience something like a storm in their brains and it's insensitive to them

ColorStorm:
some type of neurodivergent person

peanut gallery probably has something to do with the origin of the term, but I forget what the origin is

You are given $500 to spend on something you've never purchased before (no bills, no debt, no rent, no food etc.). What do you spend the money on?

ColorStorm:
I was actually thinking what Sean said, a PS5, but I've had other consoles before, so I dunno if that counts as already purchased. Though I think they've all been gifts. Except for the 3DS, which may not count because it's a hand-held. Also, actually the first thought that came to mind, is a pretty rock or meteorite that I don't already have. But I've bought other rocks, so I don't know if that counts.

I'll accept Meteorite, I imagine $500 wouldn't go far though.

If you tried to reach in to get the video tape the stomach acids would eat your hand away. It showed all this in graphic detail. Another had a hot tub full of pink slime, which would eat people who went into the hot tub, and then control their dead bodies to lure in other people. In the end there was a bed full of dead bodies being controlled by the pink slime under the blanket, luring other people to join them.

ColorStorm:
I've always envied/admired/been mystified by people who can hit a baseball well for some reason, even though I have no interest in baseball as a game overall, but on the other hand, being able to run the length of my country nonstop would mean I'm in excellent health, which matters more in big picture, so this is somewhat of a hard choice, but I'll pick the second.

If they raised a man in isolation, never showing him a woman. Then you show him a naked woman through glass how do you think would he react?🤭😝

I think he would be very interested (if it's a good-looking women) and probably some sexual instincts would kick in, but he wouldn't necessarily understand why it's so interesting to him and the attraction wouldn't be as immediately turning on like a switch as it is for us.

I'd believe him, why would he lie, especially someone who woks for the hotel. He'd lose his job, maybe even get sued. Even if he could be lying, it's just better to be safe than sorry, I'd leave in a timely but orderly fashion. Or at least I'd try to leave orderly.

Then I found *one* pair available in the US, but the ordering page was whack and I had to basically hack it to be able to even order it, so I wasn't sure if I'd get it or if I'd just thrown away $60....

On one hand I wish Twitter would continue to ban dangerous violence-inciting speech and misinformation, not only for its own sake but also because it hinders the Republicans; but, on the other hand, I'm sympathetic to the idea of total/more free speech because censorship can easily be for stupid reasons and/or become authoritarian, so I'm not *too* mad. But I am scared at the leverage that allowing hate speech and misinformation will give to the Republicans, so, overall, I wish they wouldn't.

What does "I love you" mean?

ColorStorm:
Affinity. Or sometimes it means "I want to get into your pants." Or sometimes I suspect people say it just because they're in a relationship and the other person says it and they have no choice but to say it back. Also, according Neale Donald Walsch, often "I love you very much" actually means "I trade you very much." I guess that's likely because, like Sean said a while ago, people don't get into relationships unless there's something in it for them.

No, I would never. I don't even like when Google gives me suggestions for automatic responses to something. It's so wrong. If I found out my SO did this, I'd yell at her and tell her NEVER to do it again and try to explain to her why it's wrong but I'd probably fail to articulate it adequately. I'd consider just breaking up with her instead it if it weren't for the fact that I'd be very lucky if I even had an S/O.

anonymous:
I’ve noticed that you’ve mentioned a few times that you feel messed up by your parents. How?

ColorStorm:
All my childhood and into young adulthood, my dad was an emotional terrorist. He would blow up with rage, yelling and cussing at me with *extreme* intensity and nastiness, at the slightest irritation. There was no predicting or avoiding it. It would happen on an almost daily basis (2 days a week he'd spend at work instead). My mom would also yell at me and call me names, and she was extremely immature. It was like being raised by a 12-year-old. And she was an emotional hard-ass. She knows how to affect you emotionally, but she herself is completely unmoved by emotion such as suffering or breaking apart. And I was a very sensitive child anyway, so all this affected me severely. My whole life I've been unable to talk to strangers, so I never got the girlfriend/affection/sex I desperately needed. The best parts of my life are still when I dream of touching girls. I have so much social anxiety, I once sat through an entire 1-hour class not moving a muscle because I was afraid of what people would think if I moved the wrong way. And I've failed multiple courses in college because I was too shy to ask the professor a question (such as "where is the lab?"). And I'm unable to work because the fear of embarrassment for not knowing the appropriate thing to do in a given work-related situation is so intense that I'm freaked out the entire time, make even worse decisions than I would have, and can't remember anything or learn on the job. One day while working at Publix I was so stressed out on the job I was close to collapsing. And I was a terrible worker, I got nothing done. When trying to work as a USPS City Carrier, I felt so unbelievably shitty at night every night (for the about 3 nights I worked) dreading the next day, that I promised myself in the morning I'd quit because that was no way to treat myself. None of the other jobs I attempted lasted long either.

ColorStorm:
When I say "she knows how to affect you emotionally", it's like she was a way of emotionally forcing you down just by subtleties in the tone of her voice.

I'm pretty sure it means how old do you look/feel, but it's kind of a silly question as worded because obviously you'd be whatever age you are whether you know it or not.

Is an overloaded elevator really dangerous?

ColorStorm:
I'm sure whatever weight limit they specify for the elevator is really conservative, so it can probably actually take a lot more before breaking. How much more I don't know. Probably enough that you couldn't surpass it just by filling it with people standing around. Also, I think elevators nowadays are made with some kind of safety device so if cables or whatever break you still won't actually fall to your doom? I don't remember the details.

What are your thoughts on dating in this day and age?

ColorStorm:
Sean seemed to have some good thoughts, though I'm not really that aware of what's going on in the dating world. One thing I can say is that a lot of dates seem to originate online nowadays, and selecting people online is a different animal. I guess the positive side is that there's more to choose from (you can go through many people a minute) and you get to know some things about them instantly, but the downside is that you're seeing things *about* them rather than their shining personalities, and it selecting a partner tends to come down to something like checking off items in a checklist. I'm not sure if online dating is a good thing overall or a bad thing. Personally I'm glad it exists because I'm way too shy to ask a girl out in real life.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, one other thing I was going to say is that it would be better if dating sites included videos (so you can see the shining personalities)

AGR:
I think some apps have that video or live stream feature. If it's any good is another question

Yeah, I'd be surprised if *no* dating apps/sites had it, it just doesn't seem to be the norm, and none of the ones I'm familiar with do. I like free ones.

ColorStorm:
My chin is fairly receded, I don't think that's a very attractive trait. It looks very beta too. I'm kind of short (5'6.5"), which isn't a win with the ladies, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't feel very *me* if I were any taller, so I don't know about that one. I'm bald, I started balding by age 17 or 18 (maybe in was more due to stress than genetics, I don't know). That's about it I guess, overall I'm genetically pretty good.

ColorStorm:
Oh and I'm nearsighted but I didn't develop that until I was a young adult so maybe it's not genetics but from spending too much time in front of the computer

Why do you think rich people buy mansions that are too big for anyone to use? Who uses 25 rooms😆

ColorStorm:
Same with enormous yachts, or hoarding more money than you can possibly use meaningfully in the first place - it's the mentality that bigger/more is better, and it's also to show off their status or increase their status in their own minds. They have to spend their money on *something* to feel like they're benefiting from making so much, and a house is the obvious choice. It's their home, houses are expensive, and nice houses are better than cheap houses (like you say, there's no point in having a house with 25 rooms, but it comes back to their mental extrapolation that bigger is always better).

A massive woke backlash at Netflix over the Jeffery Dahmer series. They tagged it LGBTQ. And that community freaked.. but it is an LGBTQ story. He was a gay man who killed other gay men. Do you only want positive representation? You don't want to see the dark parts of your community. People are bad in every community. If you want to label everyone which the woke ppl love to do. Then you need to be ok when that label is written out.

What’s worse: experience horrific pain with no memory of it afterwards, or experience no pain at all but have the false memory of having experience horrific pain?

ColorStorm:
IMO, the first is worse. It doesn't seem that memories of pain will actually hurt you, unless they come with effects other than just memory, like, for example, PTSD. And the pain may have been in the past, but just because you don't remember it doesn't mean it's the same as never having happened. The suffering is still important. Just like you'd actively avoid suffering in the future even though it hasn't happened yet, pain in the past is equally real and undesired.

LaDamaX:
What are you glad is over? Why?

ColorStorm:
School. I had to kick my own ass every day to get up in the morning, and it was a lot of mental labor (I hate labor), and the social aspect was stressful. Childhood. I was severely emotionally abused throughout my childhood and young adult years. And I was miserable and desperate. Thinking I had to work eventually, before I started on welfare. Man, that was constantly stressful and looming over my head. Trying to work is absolutely terrifying and totally beyond my capability.

LaDamaX:
Help me understand why work is terrifying—- Is it the social aspect?

ColorStorm:
Yes. I'm easily embarrassed (and, I guess, terrified of it), and I'm also clueless about how I'm supposed to act or react in a plethora of work-related

ColorStorm:
situations, which can easily lead to embarrassment.

ColorStorm:
I'm clueless because I don't think like normal people. Also, I suspect that they somehow tap into some collective mind and what it expects of them, while I

ColorStorm:
can't.

ColorStorm:
This fear also leads to so much stress that I've nearly collapsed, and also I can't remember or learn anything which you need to do in a working environment.

ColorStorm:
because of the stress I mean.

ColorStorm:
it also leads to even worse decision-making than I have otherwise due to my being clueless.

ColorStorm:
I think it's surprising the degree to which there exist people who are compatible with any given person, not necessarily speaking romantically but in general, but I also would be surprised if there were someone for absolutely everyone romantically. That would be some pretty magical sh\*t, and the world appears to be mainly cause and effect and happenstance, not magic/divinity. And like, what if someone is short, fat, bald, 50 years old and broke and their standards are really high? Like anyone below a 7 out of 10 or over 35 is gross to them? (This will be me in 6 years.) And, like someone else said, even if there is someone out there that's ideal for you, you may never meet them. We only meet a small fraction of everybody in the world in our lifetimes.

ColorStorm:
I don't know much about the industry, but I'm guessing this isn't a very sound decision. I mean, if she just wanted to do hardcore porn for a living, great for her, but avoiding being typecast probably isn't a good reason.. because (a) hardcore porn isn't known for requiring a lot of talent, range, etc., and (b) I'm not sure people will take her seriously for anything other than porn after that.

Multiple victims shot in a Brooklyn Subway (Not far from where I live actually, I've walked to that area before) Shooter is still on the loose. Not to get political but this is what happens when you "defund the police" Which NY politicians were behind at 1st. You can't do that and expect no repercussions..

ColorStorm:
People who advocate defunding the police have no clue how society actually works. No police, no law enforcement. No law enforcement, you have anarchy and no civilization. Though I doubt the shootings were the result of defunding the police. Are they actually trying to defund the police in New York City?

ColorStorm:
It sounds like an imbalanced and unhealthy relationship. One person has to slave for the other, repress their needs and complaints, etc. Relationships seem to require compromise, at least usually, but that should be mutual; submission is something different. Maybe for couples where they both really know what they want and one really wants to submit, it's fine (more or less?), but it's not fine when one side believes they're obligated to or *have* to submit for reasons of religion/indoctrination.

In your country, what one needs to do to lose their nationality? Does the government have the power to remove someone's citizenship?

The only way I know of to lose your nationality in this country (US) is to become a citizen of another country. And even then there's such a thing as dual citizenship, which I don't know much about. I don't know much, though, so maybe there are other ways.

Elon Musk has all but gutted twitter. Is it possible he bought it just to destroy it?😄 The $8 verification thing. 1st it was 20 then 8. On the one hand it gives you a clear way to get verified. On the other. Who fucking cares enough to pay money for a checkmark 😆 it looks like a half hearted attempt to be "helping" twitter.

ColorStorm:
He says Twitter can't survive on advertising revenues alone. I don't know if that's true, it seemed to have worked thus far. Also, he says that the bluecheck system as it was is bullshit, because it separates Twitter into celebrities versus everyone else and encourages people to listen to celebrity opinions on things just because they're celebrities. The main problems I have with the $8 bluecheck fee are 1. bluecheck replies will be featured more prominently, which means non-payers will be marginalized. Sort of like how Disney World made it so if you don't pay extra you have to wait in even longer lines, or OKCupid made it so that if you don't pay you don't have access to various things you used to for free. It's like making it a quasi-pay-only platform. And 2. If anyone can have a checkmark, then we can't tell which celebrity accounts are really who they say they are. He says the problem of scammers impersonating celebrities no longer applies, but he didn't say why, and I can't imagine any way it would no longer apply.

BidenLadysMan:
I thought the checkmark system was to prevent scammers and bots. It didn't work fully but I understood the reasoning.

BidenLadysMan:
And I partly understand his logic to give everyone (if they pay) a chance to be "legitimized" but it has the problems you said. I was thinking why not grant

[ https://bit.ly/3t3lgZA ] "In Switzerland women gained the right to vote in 1971. Before 1985, husbands could actually prevent their wives from getting a job and opening a bank account. Up until 1992, Swiss women lost their nationality when they married a foreigner." In your country in the past 50 years, were there any laws denying women of their basic human rights?

ColorStorm:
The SCOTUS just recently overturned Roe v Wade, which had guaranteed women the right to an abortion. Now it's up to the individual states. Some argue that this is an issue of women's rights - whether they have autonomy over their bodies, or whether men dictate what they can do with their bodies. I disagree. I think this is a convenient framing to try to get their way, when the real issue is that abortion is homicide. https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2017/02/11/why-im-not-pro-choice-even-as-a-non-religious-democrat/

They caught the guy who shot up the subway here in Brooklyn NY. Frank James 62 has been arrested 9 times in NY alone during the 90's Still purchased a gun legally btw. If you let out "non violent" offenders well you get this.. Thoughts?🤔

ColorStorm:
One single incident isn't enough information to derive a generality like this from. And the US already has the highest incarceration rate of any country, more than double the next-highest country. Do we really need to increase that? Also, the problem may not have been letting him out but giving him a gun. But, again, one single incident isn't enough to generalize that non-violent offenders will shoot people if given guns. In my opinion, nobody should be allowed guns though.

It was because I was arguing against either Hitchen's razor or the Sagan standard, I don't remember which. The most common compliment I get is that I'm smart, genius, intelligent, have a good head on my shoulders, etc. Edit: I just remembered another compliment I get relatively frequently: people tend to compliment me on the clothes I wear. I wear bright, colorful, often tie-dye, sometimes cosmic clothes (hat, shoes, shirt, sometimes pants). What I don't get is if people like it so much why doesn't everyone dress that way. =P

Kate:
Mareike - a girl from art school here - is a true artist. When she was not happy about the result of her seventh try on a paper sculpture she did light it and recorded the burning on tape and then took scissors and cut the tape. She said she not only wanted to burn her art but also the memory of it to regain a white canvass in her mind for something new. Her actions are now a series of pictures in the hallway. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Maybe she's a little bit too judgmental of her own work. But who cares, who am I to judge her process. Another thought.. recording it burning and then cutting it doesn't actually make there be less of a record of the sculpture, but more of one. So it's a bit illogical to do that to erase the memory, but then, its purpose is psychological, and psychology isn't always logical. "Illogical problems require illogical solutions."

Kate:
Mareike from art school is not only a student but the favourite model for her peers as she is always willing to act as the dupe for them. She consented to be painted with sugar glue and get attached hundreds of tiny white plastic balls to her skin and hung from the ceiling on one leg amidst the crossed light of five focused lamps. Would you?

ColorStorm:
If you paid me enough. =P

Kate:
What sum do you have in mind? :))

ColorStorm:
I guess I could go as low as $5000.

ColorStorm:
$10000 would be more comfortable. =P

ColorStorm:
Okay if it's absolutely not dangerous and I get to keep my clothes on, maybe $2000.

Kate:
Your clothes will be ruined after they painted the glue on you!

ColorStorm:
That's no big deal, I can find clothes I don't care about (not likely), or, more likely, buy some clothes I don't care about for the occasion.

ColorStorm:
That would cost way less than what I'd earn if they gave me enough to do it

Kate:
I'd like to remind you that they are simple students, not the daughters of Croesus ;)

ColorStorm:
That just means there'd probably be no deal. 🤣

Kate:
When they like you and you're lucky you might earn a kiss or two?

ColorStorm:
I'm old, unsociable, and not fit, so they wouldn't like me. =P If you could guarantee me I could kiss a cute one multiple times on the face or lips, it's a deal

Kate:
They are mates not slaves, so I cannot guarantee anything. Also they have their own will and their creativity includes lunatic traces I fear!!

Wieselmann:
What is the stupidest thing you have done recently?

ColorStorm:
The other month I brought my laptop into a shop for repair. I included the power supply and cable just in case he needed it, even though I figured if he wanted to test if it's working right there was probably more than enough energy in the battery, and somehow I had the feeling he'd lose my power supply. Sure enough, when I came to pick up my laptop weeks later, the power supply wasn't with it. I told him I gave him the power supply with it, and he denied it, telling me about the system he uses to make sure he keeps track of power supplies and anything else that belongs with a computer, and how there was no way I gave him the power supply or it would be there. I ended up having to order a replacement for $70, not even having any way to be sure of its quality, and having to wait another couple of weeks for it to arrive before I could use my laptop.

Do you have trouble with conception of ideas or the execution?

ColorStorm:
The latter. I'm good at coming up with great ideas, but I'm lazy AF.

LaDamaX:
Has that always been the case?

ColorStorm:
I guess I've always been lazy, labor and tedium make me miserable. Life is just barely tolerable for me when I don't have to do anything, so having to do

ColorStorm:
something puts me in the negative

ColorStorm:
As for good ideas, I'm not sure for how long I've been good at those. A long time, but maybe not when I was a kid?

LaDamaX:
I’m just curious how your medical diagnosis and any medication that you’ve been administered might have changed that for you.

LaDamaX:
And when you say that” life is just barely tolerable” — in what ways?

ColorStorm:
idk i guess i just don't have enough seratonin. and i don't have anything i really want. though a lot of what i really want isn't even possible in this

ColorStorm:

LaDamaX:
Are people with a high level of intelligence aware of their “giftedness”?

ColorStorm:
I think some are, some aren't. It's hard not to notice that you're different from others--that you excel scholastically, that you score high on tests if you've ever administered one, etc. You may even notice more directly, just from observing people, that they're not as intelligent as you. On the other hand, I used to hang out in a high IQ society (top 99.997 percentile), and one person there who scored about 170 at best said he never knew he was gifted until he scored high on an IQ test. I found that odd.

It's like 10 minutes to a half an hour before I can actually taste anything after I wake up, I haven't measured the time exactly.

How did god make themselves?

ColorStorm:
Is it even possible for something to somehow conjure *itself* into existence? At some point it would have to be an uncaused cause! Maybe life always existed and always will? It just didn't always exist as a plethora of individual, separate perspectives which is the universe we know today.

What would you do if you saw someone with their fly open? Would you tell them? If yes, how would you do it without sounding weird/creepy?

ColorStorm:
I probably wouldn't, I don't care enough about that to stick my neck out for them. If I did decide to say something, I wouldn't worry about it sounding weird/creepy any more than saying anything else. I always assume whatever I say is awkward somehow, and I'd have no awareness of whether or not it came across particularly weird/creepy.

Is it true that kings can't tolerate the presence of others because they're highly intelligent?

ColorStorm:
There's no reason kings would likely be more intelligent than the average person. It's not like there's some mechanism in place that selects for high intelligence, it's just next of kin or whatever. I don't know if it's true that kings (most kings? more than in the general population?) can't tolerate the presence of others, but if it is, it's likely due to reasons of upbringing and status. They probably think they're better than everyone else. Or maybe they don't like how demanding or needy others are toward them. Or something else arising purely from the fact that they're kings.

AGR:
At what point can a partner/boyfriend/girlfriend ask for money?

ColorStorm:
For one thing, when you've met them in person or at least video chat (probably many times) and it's been long enough that it's clear that they're not a scammer. If you've just started an online relationship with this person and they're asking for money, that's a huge red flag, imo. Beyond that, idk, I guess ideally you'd be extremely familiar with/bonded with each other before someone asks for money.

AGR:
It seem like a lot of online scammers then. Like, flooded with them. Maybe my choices aren't the best

Does a straw have one or two holes?

Topologically, it has one hole, so I'll go with that. Besides, if I said it had two holes, that would be pretty arbitrary, because exactly how short can the straw get before I'd consider it have only one hole?

3.4 A manager went to the Master Programmer and showed him the requirements document for a new application. The manager asked the Master: "How long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers to it?" "It will take one year," said the Master promptly. "But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it take if I assign ten programmers to it?" The Master Programmer frowned. "In that case, it will take two years." "And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?" The Master Programmer shrugged. "Then the design will never be completed," he said.

LOL as if the manager would even ask, he'd just throw the hundred programmers in there and pitch a fit when there's no progress 😂

How do you calm yourself when you’re feeling angry/explosive?

ColorStorm:
I guess I just wait for it to go away and try not to do anything too damaging while I'm angry. Communication can help, though, saying exactly what they did and how it affected you, maybe even with power, as long as it's not done with spite/the intent to harm.

The pure, heroic pharmaceutical companies that "saved" our lives with wholesome vaccines. Are ending freebies. Or atleast the government aren't paying for it anymore. So if you're Uninsured u have to pay $40 a shot. If this is still such a dangerous disease. Apocalyptic as the liberals painted it while they muzzled your 5 month old and injected them while they're screaming..🙄covid is still dangerous why can't the drug companies foot the bill? Oh they want to make money! As they always did😆

ColorStorm:
To be fair, if the drug companies didn't make money off their drugs they'd have no incentive to invest in developing them. Which can take a *lot* of money. Though I kinda think the government should be in charge of all pharmaceutical development and manufacturing and selling drugs, so that we're not at the mercy of profiteers.

BidenLadysMan:
We would still be at the mercy of profiteers if the government took over it because the government would be motivated by money. Especially of we pay them for it

BidenLadysMan:
big pharma is and always was the bad guys. And like u said they need money to a degree but we as a ppl have to realize they care about money not our health.

When’s the last time you stayed up for more than 24 hours? Reason?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I don't keep track of when I'm asleep or awake, but it probably wasn't that long ago. Sometimes I just stay up forever, probably because I sleep so long (intentionally) that I'm *super* caught-up. If not recently, the other year I know I stayed up for about 4 days for no reason, probably with a certain amount of hypomania.

Wieselmann:
When have you decided that you want/don't want to have children?

ColorStorm:
I don't know even roughly what year it was that I decided I don't want to have children, but I remember my first concern was that I wouldn't be a good father. I'm incompetent when it comes to interacting with society so I couldn't handle their societal needs, and I'm emotionally numb so I couldn't love them. Also I'd be constantly worried about something happening to them. Later on I started focusing more on how life is more miserable than happy for most people and started subscribing to antinatalism. And add to that further considerations such as the world is overpopulated and the more people the more the planet gets raped, and the fact that the collapse of civilization will probably be within the next generation's lifetime which will make life even *worse* for them, by a longshot. The antinatalist considerations became a lot more solidified for me just this year. It was also this year that I found out about the word "antinatalism."

Could you date someone who has the same name as your mother/farther or brother/sister? (what about if they kind of look like them too?)

ColorStorm:
I could date someone who has the same name as a sister or my mom without much of a problem, except my *family* would find it really weird, so it would have to be someone I *really* like. As for looks, I could date someone who looks like my mom did when she was younger (she was very pretty), but I couldn't date someone who looks like my youngest sister, even though she's pretty, because I associate those looks with absolute selfishness. And I couldn't date someone who looks like my other sister because she's unattractive. Oh, I just noticed you said "too." Could I date someone who looks like my mom used to *and* has her name? Uhh... if the resemblance is obvious, then, because of the family's perception thing again, I'd have to really, *really* like her. Even then it would suck because I think everyone in my family would think I had an embarrassing, deep-seated psychological issue.

Do you restrict yourself to only use your own toilet at home or are you at ease using what's available? What about toilets at your friends? And public toilets?

ColorStorm:
I prefer to use the toilet at home to a public toilet, because it's a PITA getting the toilet paper carefully over the toilet seat and touching things as little as possible, also making sure my wallet or phone doesn't fall out of my pockets, but if I'm out and I have to go then I have to go. A friend's toilet I guess I wouldn't really mind.

It’s just human nature to be curious about a person whether you’re interested in them romantically or not. As long as it’s not done obsessively, I don’t really care much either.

I think Cameron is like 10 years younger than Belucci.

tbh, I just feel like it's an unfortunate fact of life that people become less attractive/physically beautiful as they age. And pretty much everyone agrees, that's why A list actors aren't A list actors anymore when they get old. I don't feel like it's a prejudice of some sort like the -ist word would imply.

IMO, what LaDamaX said. Though I guess some people may have doubts even when somebody loves them because of past experiences of being used, or other reasons like low self-esteem. Notwithstanding any of that, I guess if you have to ask if yourself if s/o loves you, that may be a sign/red flag?

Any movie where changing the past doesn't magically make someone disappear, or fingers suddenly go missing, or whatever, which is most time travel movies. It makes no sense. I would say Primer may be the most realistic, except I didn't really follow it.

What does modern Star Trek, Star Wars and Terminator all have in common? They all went woke and went broke.. Star Trek Picard is AWFUL. Season 1 is bad season 2 is even worse! The subject of season 2. Immigration, same sex marriage, climate change. You know the things we never hear about ALL THE TIME!. Hollywood has no more stories left to tell. They're creatively bankrupt. All they can do is batter us about how awful we are and how noble they are for telling us😡😡 thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I don't see anything wrong with Hollywood showing humanity its own follies, even if they're part of the problem too. Somebody has to do it, and Hollywood is a prime candidate. It's where all our attention goes and what we based what's cool on. I kinda like Picard, I've been watching season 2. There may be some things about it that put me off, but it's not the wokeness. Btw, where's the same sex marriage? I don't remember that.

BidenLadysMan:
They do same sex relationships I think. Is the good borg girl in a relationship with the other woman. The sad thing is star trek was always talking about social

BidenLadysMan:
issues but they weren't so heavy with it. If u get enjoyment out of it great but it was awful to me.

BidenLadysMan:
And Picard is my favorite captain too they make him incompetent. The profanity turned me off too.

BidenLadysMan:
Hollywood has no place lecturing us considering what they do. But even so ppl don't like being beaten with how horrible they are in everything we watch..

ColorStorm:
eh, I think it's tfb if people don't want to hear about what they're doing wrong. if they don't hear it, they'll continue to do those things wrong.

ColorStorm:
correcting these wrongs is more important than blissfully escaping into entertainment. especially regarding the environment, because we have no more time.

ColorStorm:
and i don't mind if the people in hollywood do the same things they lecture us about. they can be deluded about how good they are if they want. it's

ColorStorm:
important that we hear these messages either way, and they're who people listen to most.

BidenLadysMan:
They could be more subtle than they are. I think at this point most ppl know the right things to do. If they don't do it. They're never going too.

BidenLadysMan:
. I don't think it's lack of awareness at this point. These movies and shows will keep failing by alienating the audience

Whats the most mischievous thing you've done in school?

ColorStorm:
When I was in junior high, one day while waiting around for hours after school with a couple of other people for my parents to pick me up, I had a pen that I discovered would spray ink out when I swung it, so I walked around swinging ink all over the outside walls... I was ultra-logical/retarded back then, and I figured that I couldn't get in trouble because the pen shouldn't have had that defect.. the people I was with ratted me out the next day, and I got a paddling. I was also ordered to clean up all the stains, but the janitor was nice and just washed them away with a hose.

Surprise:
How many hours of sleep seem adequate or enough for you ?

ColorStorm:
Depends. Sometimes I only need like 3 hours sleep, if I've been feeling excited about something, like e.g. a new project. Sometimes I need even less, like a few seconds or minutes, if I've already been awake way too long, I guess because it makes me sleep in microsleep mode, which is like full blast sleeping. On a totally normal day, though, I don't know how much sleep I need because I always get way more than I need. (This wasn't the case at all back when I was going to school, or probably when I had a job either.) I seem to think it's around 8 hours, though.

Surprise:

Which videogame would you pick if you had to break a speedrunning record?

ColorStorm:
I don't think I could break any speedrunning record ever, but if I had to try, I guess I'd pick Super Mario Bros. 3. I used to be able to beat it in 14 or 15 minutes, and last I knew the record using an emulator frame-by-frame is like around 12 minutes, so the record playing it normally is probably significantly higher than that.

Wieselmann:
It's probably not significantly higher. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rIJNT7dCmE&ab_channel=SummoningSalt

Steven Bain and Steven Gawthrop would approach people in bars and clubs in Southport and buy the socks off their feet, claiming to be collecting them for charity.

If you could gain powers beyond believable reality but at the cost of your emotions and who you are, would you choose it?

ColorStorm:
If it cost me who I am, it wouldn't be me with those powers, but someone else. The fact that there would be a continuous line of consciousness between me and that other identity is trivial when taking into consideration that, ultimately, I already am everyone else including those that have powers beyond believable reality (we are all one). Even beside that, I don't think I'd want to sacrifice who I am. Anything I could gain from it would be pointless. Depending on exactly what it means that it would cost me who I am. As for emotions, I already don't have any.

Is walking 10,000 steps in a day considered a lot of exercise for you?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea how long 10,000 steps is vis a vis how much I typically walk on a day when I'm out. I guess I probably don't usually walk nearly that much. But walking a lot has never seemed like much exercise to me (though I can't run even a little bit for crap). I could walk for hours no problem. Or at least I used to be able to. Nowadays my right hip starts hurting after 20-30 minutes.

ColorStorm:
I just looked up how many miles 10,000 steps is, and I walk almost that far every time I go to the gym.

Wieselmann:
How long do you need to walk to the gym?

ColorStorm:
no i mean walking on the treadmill. i walk for half an hour every time.

ColorStorm:
at 3 mph

ColorStorm:
3 mph for half an hour should be 1.5 miles, and 10,000 steps is 5 miles, but the last time i was there i remember the mile count saying 4.44 miles at some point

So weed is legal where I live now. But a police officer can't smoke it even if they're off duty, uh what? So basically they're not allowed to use a legal item, ever.. I doubt they tell them not to drink after work. Thoughts?🤔

ColorStorm:
Sounds like it might be a good rule. Police have to be really alert and on top of it. I'm not sure I'd want my life depending on a police officer who smokes weed. (Not that I want my life depending on an American police officer's judgment anyway ;/). I don't think alcohol has effects on your brain that last even when you're not intoxicated like weed does. The only thing I wonder is, is it legal for an employer to prevent an employee from taking a substance that's legal? Although technically weed is still federally illegal so there's that.

BidenLadysMan:
I do use it on occasion. And I've drank. And I can tell you between the two, weed is way better. It give Atleast me, a more mellow high u dont feel impaired....

BidenLadysMan:
You're not a raving lunatic like on alcohol and once it's over, it's over no lasting effects You're full functional. With that said

BidenLadysMan:
I wouldn't want them to do it ON duty. Because they'll be liable when shit happens. The idea of controlling someone's off hours is shady to me

The argument is they're armed even off duty by again can drink and they're ate way more alcohol related shootings. It feels like the government's last push..

Humans are getting dumber, but I'm not sure technology is doing it. Dumb people statistically have more children. It probably has something to do with social classes and maybe welfare. Not that I'm against welfare. There is one way we know technology is making people dumber, though.. the internet, where short attention grabbing thing go viral and the focus is on immediate gratification, is shortening people's attention spans.

Do you think it was cruel of the Razzies to retract the award for Bruce Willis after his apashia diagnosis?

ColorStorm:
I had to look up what those things mean. I guess they revoked his Razzy because they figured the only reason he acted in some recent movie so badly is because of his aphasia, which means giving him the award would be in bad taste.. kinda like Chris Rock making fun of Will Smith's wife's baldness when she has alopecia. It's obviously not cruel, giving him the award in the first place was the cruel thing if anything, and taking it away is very understandable.

Why do they call it protection when it's usually all about control?

It could be about both. I think the state makes us do or not do a lot of things for our protection, which are essentially controls, but people who are hyperindividualist or conspiracy minded or maybe who just don't agree with the law tend to think the primary purpose is simply to control us.

(From the web) Do you think you could be friends with a clone of yourself? Why or why not?

ColorStorm:
Well, I know we'd get along just fine, but I don't know if we'd want to hang out together. Assuming it's a psychological clone too and not just a physical clone, we'd know each other too well, there'd be no point. And it'd probably just be a bummer for both of us hanging out with such a loser. 😂 Incidentally, whether a person would get along with themselves is sort of a litmus test for me. I lose some amount of respect for people who probably couldn't. It shows that the way they interact with others is unfair/they dish out what they can't take, and that they're emotionally immature and abrasive. And probably also that they lack self-awareness. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what the implication seems to be.

LaDamaX:
Or they’re simply overly critical of themselves?

ColorStorm:
Hmm, maybe. I've noticed that people tend to dislike other people that I think remind me of them, and that's what I attribute it to. I think clones may be

Have you ever seen an unmarried person wearing a wedding ring? What do you think of it?

ColorStorm:
No I haven't. Actually, I'd have no idea if I have. (a) I don't notice wedding rings, and (b) I probably wouldn't know whether they're married. I think it's fine, whatever floats their boat. I'm glad they have the gumption to think/act outside the box of tradition/conformity. On the other hand, it is a little deceiving.

Also I have one of those spikes people put in their yard to keep people from driving on it, it's semi-transparent and has a cavity in the middle, I keep it in my room and I used to put a light bulb in the middle to light it up. But I didn't buy it, I stole it from someone's yard a long time ago. =P

BidenLadysMan:
All the doomsday scenarios that liberal ppl thought was going to happen under Trump. It's happening under Biden. They thought Trump was going to bring us to nuclear war, well Biden has brought us closer than ever to nuclear war. They thought Trump collapsed the economy, we pay $10 for gas under Biden. Trump will take my reproductive rights away. Now under Biden Roe V Wade is about to be overturned. I've never seen anything blow up in someone's face more than Biden. It would be funny if it wasn't sad,

ColorStorm:
you're blaming a lot of things on biden that have nothing to do with him. the supreme court is overturning roe vs wade because of all the extremist justices trump instated. the president doesn't determine gas prices. see https://i.pinimg.com/564x/44/2a/e2/442ae2dd577f2bad9e122e32ea3a45b7.jpg . I doubt we've been closer to nuclear war under biden than at any other time, especially during the cold war. there were some really close calls. and trump was so reckless everyone as afraid he would cause nuclear war, even without the ukraine invasion. if the ukraine invasion happened under trump, we probably would have had total mutual destruction, except that trump probably wouldn't give a shit about the ukraine because he has no heart, and also because he colluded with russia.

BidenLadysMan:
But the collusion between Trump and Russia was never fully proven. But even if so, wouldn't be better to have a president that is friendly with Putin...

BidenLadysMan:
Biden calling Putin a genocidal manic however true it is was reckless beyond imagination. Biden's green energy bill is why gas has gone up.

BidenLadysMan:
His spending bills is why inflation is sky high. It's all connected

ColorStorm:
we all know trump colluded with russia, even if it wasn't proven. and even if he didn't, the mueller report proved that russia heavily influenced the election

ColorStorm:
results, for which trump would be grateful

green energy is important for our future. you should consider the bigger picture, instead of just worrying about gas prices.

The gas prices kill industry now. It effects shipping it effects the whole world. We may not make it to the future. And it will turn ppl against such policies

fizzyarthur:
If you see something being done in a bad way, by lack of knowledge, diverted attention or forgetfulness, is it your duty to do it better, or even correct the person doing it?

ColorStorm:
The term "duty" seems to imply that responsibility is something God-given or determined by absolute truths or society or something. The individual determines what they feel responsible for. So the answer to your question depends on the preference of the individual. In my case, the answer is no. And I don't think anyone else is morally obligated to either. Of course, if someone's doing something negligently that could get someone seriously hurt or killed, or serious loss of property, etc., then it would be better if they said something, so in that sense they "should," but I don't think it's their "duty."

It doesn't change what I think or feel, it just makes me very dizzy, so I don't do it very often. I don't know why I do it a all, I must like the *idea* of getting drunk.

How to anger a mathematician?

ColorStorm:
Tell him this joke: An engineer is working at his desk in his office. His cigarette falls off the desk into the wastebasket, causing the papers within to burst into flames. The engineer looks around, sees a fire extinguisher, grabs it, puts out the flames, and goes back to work. A physicist is working at his desk in another office and the same thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher, and thinks "Fire requires fuel plus oxygen plus heat. The fire extinguisher will remove both the oxygen and the heat in the wastebasket. Ergo, no fire." He grabs the extinguisher, puts out the flames, and goes back to work. A mathematician is working at his desk in another office and the same thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher, and thinks for a minute, says "Ah! A solution exists!" and goes back to work.

Let's say you've been knowing someone and after several dates, you realize you really feel attracted to them (in all senses). In your last date, they let you know your feelings are returned BUT they also confess that they're into BDSM. What would you do?

ColorStorm:
Assuming that didn't make me fall out of love with them, I'd probably tell them there's no chance I'll be doing any BDSM with them (well, not in those words--I'll tell them I'm not interested in BDSM) but maybe if I thought that could be a deal breaker I'd add that I'm okay with open relationships so if they want to be in a relationship and do BDSM with someone else that's okay.

ColorStorm:
I used to wear plain black suede, or rough leather or whatever, shoes, of a certain elegant and stately shape that I don't know how to describe, but I stopped being able to find those so I stopped wearing them. I've also had a pair of Nikes that I thought looked really cool, I think it had an elaborate design with cyan and other colors. I've had a couple of pairs of sandals I liked, one was blue and black and had a strap behind the foot, a strap in front of where the leg meets the foot, and a strap further to the front, and straps connecting all those, it broke and I couldn't find any more like it. Another has so many straps covering the foot that it's mostly strap with a few places for air to get in and I like those. Now I wear crocs, I wore black crocs for a while until I found tie-dye crocs, now I have two pair of those. When I was in Michigan for Christmas, I got some boots, black ones, I thought they looked elegant, they were unisex, and I wore them all the time in Michigan. I've thought about wearing them here in Florida.

What is your definition of being poor? Provide examples. Have you ever experienced being “poor”?

Living in the slums (or worse, the ghetto). How do you know if you're living in the slums? If the neighborhood is predominately black people and it has purple, orange, yellow, etc. houses in it, you're probably in the slums. We lived in the slums when I was growing up. Our cars were a '57 Chevy that didn't go above 60 mph and a white Ford that had a big hole in the floor that you could see the road through. That's another way you can tell if you're poor.

Do you know what's the difference between an opinion and a judgement?

ColorStorm:
I think an opinion can be the result of a judgment, but not necessarily. For example, one could use their judgment and research to determine that conservatives are stupid assholes, which is clearly an opinion. Conversely, does a judgment necessarily result in an opinion? What if you judge something and then promptly forget about it? What if you make a judgment that determines something to be a fact? Facts supposedly aren't opinions (though I think the border between facts and opinions gets pretty fuzzy when you break them down). And, this is implied by what I said above, but you could say that an opinion is a certain kind of state of mind, while a judgment is the process of arriving at that state of mind.

BidenLadysMan:
I was listening to a podcast on the way to work and someone on it presented a theory about homosexuality. I'll try to explain as best I could. Between ages 3 to 11 is when the child is imprinted. The experiences they have during these yrs will dictate their feelings and behaviors for the rest of their lives. So what if the first person to show a child affection between ages 3 and 11, outside their family is the same gender as them. It would make an imprint of that feeling. And that child may grow up believing they're gay but in reality they're just trying to find that feeling again. Do you think there's any validity to this?

ColorStorm:
I haven't studied this much, but it sounds like poppycock to me, and probably made up by some religious zealot or homophobe.

BidenLadysMan:
It's a radical idea for sure. This person also said the reason people are searching for "the cause" of homosexuality because biologically

Will virtual reality be humanity's next addiction?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, I tend to think what Sean said, but on the other hand, if they could make VR realistic enough people might put up with the inconvenience for the purpose of living in a more ideal or at least interesting world. That probably won't happen for a long time, though, and when it does, it might require neural implants. But then how would they switch between, for example, feeding touch information from the VR and feeding touch information from one's actual skin? Also, the ecosystem/pover grid/water supply/whatever, and hence civilization, will probably collapse before we ever advance that far.

'm not sure, and it may depend on what kind of object / what kind of out-of-place, but I can't really think of any examples of when I was curious about something being out of place, so maybe I'm not. Or maybe I'm just bad at remembering things. hMm, it seems like there would be at least some situations where I'd be curious. Edit: oh yeah, Sean reminds me that I've been really curious how various animals ended up way far away from where they're supposed to be, like a whale in the forest or when it rains frogs or whatever.

i'm sure there are plenty of things to fear just as much as a storm in the sea and a night with no moon, but I like the last one. If you make a gentle man angry, you've done fucked up. and most people would be too unaware or callous to realize this. and even more so, to fear it, means they've really emotionally integrated the desire to be a good/better person.

Making a gentle man angry probably also has something to do with that man's past. He's making an effort to be nice and calm because he's done some shit..

BidenLadysMan:
Back in his past. Like John Wick. They killed his puppy and everybody died 😝

I totally think children should be able to guide their own education. Also, I think education shouldn't be mandatory.

With Biden releasing the most dangerous man in the world for WNBA player Brittany Griner. I think liberals lose their position on gun control. I mean that's done at this point.. You let a man who sold 800 surface to air missiles, 10 million rounds of ammo, 100's of AK47s. But a deli store owner can't own a 22 to defend his shop. Fuck you🤣

ColorStorm:
That's like saying the surgeon general turned out to be a serial killer so we shouldn't have medicine. Or the chief of the fire department turned out to be an arsonist so we shouldn't have protection against fires.

BidenLadysMan:
It's not exactly the same because the perception they portraying is their against law abiding citizens having guns but are for the black market arms dealers

BidenLadysMan:

Have you ever witnessed something unexplainable?

ColorStorm:
Andy's answer makes me think of something that's happened to me on more than one occasion: I write a small program. It has a bug. I fix the bug, run it again, and the buggy behavior continues. It shouldn't. So I add some print statements just to debug it (and/or maybe to prove that it should work), and then it works right. So I take the print statements back out, so I'm left with the same program I had before I added them, and it continues to work correctly. I've witnessed other things that are unexplainable, depending on what priors you have and hence what kind of explanation you'd accept. They certainly don't make sense under the popularly accepted physicalist, rationalist view of the universe. For example, one time there was a girl sitting next to me in a mental hospital trying to talk and slurring all her words, not being able to decide what to say, etc., and there was a small ball of white light dangling in the air just beyond the tip of her tongue. Personally, I would explain it as one of her chakras, one related to speech, being under so much pressure that it starts emitting visible light. I think I know why this was the case, but I won't go into it.

Studies suggest that a child raised in two parent household (i think they mean straight parents, man and woman have s a 60% lower chance of ending up in jail. It is the same if a child is raised by a father alone. So basically kids can live without mom but not dad. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Women are naturally more nurturing and therefore make better parents than men, so maybe the statistic is due to some obscure, incidental, secondary factor.

BidenLadysMan:
I thought that too. I still do. Maybe we respect our dads more, or fear them. So it forces you to be good.

Kate:
I've been creating nude photos of a friend recently. She is a pretty woman and there is nothing weird about this. But as you can see her peach and bum and labia some people think it's porn. Is it porno when you watch a pretty body without any shame ?

ColorStorm:
The line between nudity and porn is a tenuous one. What's merely expressive to one person may be masturbation material to another. For example, how many pictures in playboy were merely nude women, perhaps in somewhat more erotic poses? But, I guess whether something is "porn" or not is really usually clearly discernable from context and other clues. Unless there are a lot of puritans out there who think any nudity is necessarily porn. I don't. After all, nudity is just an expression of one's natural body, where clothes-wearing is fundamentally artificial and cumbersome.

Kate:
A scene that depicts simply nude bodie(s) can be viewed as pornographic and/or meant as such. But in general "porn" is something that is created by the beholder rather than by the creator. The emotional reaction when viewing nudity depends so much on the respective culture that depending on context anything like bare hands can be regarded as sexual and pornographic. The Victorian era held that notion for example. A lady never would have left home without gloves if she was a respectful woman.

Some ppl's eyes can't detect the new graphics it's so subtle. That's where I am i think. Atleast I can play the new games so, cool I guess worth more than my first car. Shit😆

Showing body parts shouldn't be illegal in any way. People are way too squeamish.

LaDamaX:
Flashing genitalia is a sign that an animal wants to mate, is it not? Somehow I don’t think flashing an elbow would send the same message.

If it's a girl, I'd feel happy that she apparently likes me, but sad that I'd have no idea what to say / how to follow up on it / how to flirt.

Kate:
You would not assume like other retro members that the bench is standing on a grave and that the flower is for the dead?

It didn't occur to me. I guess it depends on whether I'm sitting in a cemetery or not. =P

Not a cemetery. In my case it really was a park. A remembrance park for Napoleon.

What do you think there are more of in the world: legs or eyes? (inc. non-human legs and eyes)

ColorStorm:
Hmm. On one hand, almost all land animals have four legs and two eyes, which would suggest legs, but then, in the sea, most animals have two eyes and no legs, but then some insects have hundreds of legs and two eyes, but then some insects like flies have a whole bunch of eyes.. I dunno. The insects with the many legs and eyes are in a minority, and I've heard there are many more land animals than sea animals, so I'll say legs.

ColorStorm:
Actually I shouldn't say almost all land animals have four legs, because insects tend to have six, and there are tons of them.

Andy:
Yep and centipedes and millipedes... but then arguably flies have lots of eyes.

Do you have clothes that you haven't worn for more than a year?

ColorStorm:
I have some in a box that are a smaller size than I wear now because I used to be thin. I keep them just in case I ever lose weight (which I probably won't), because they're cool shirts and there's only one way to come across cool shirts and that's luck, so I collect them over the years.

fizzyarthur:
Would you ever use a doorless fridge as a makeshift air conditioner?

ColorStorm:
According to the first law of thermodynamics (or one of them, anyway), a closed system can never go from from having more heat overall to less heat overall (except by astronomical luck). Hence fridges can only cool the air inside by displacing the heat to the outside. So trying to use a fridge as an A/C would only make it hotter, unless you somehow funneled the extra heat to the outside.

The dough of both is thin, so both might be considered a pie. But for you I could also bake a Belgian Lemon Pie. That is a monster. Even a tiny triangle feeds a big man.

I wish we had bidets. We don't because that's just not an American thing. I think they get you cleaner more easily and they don't waste trees or fill up the septic tank with toilet paper. I've never used a bidet, though, so I can't be sure I'd prefer it. I've thought of getting one of those you just install in the toilet that hooks to the rim or whatever.

Is it really disappointing to discover that everything technological is inspired by nature? Like the gun? The shrimp actually inspired it..... is there anything not inspired?

ColorStorm:
It just makes you think, what kind of technology could we have now if people were more creative/original with their ideas. Or flavors. Like all the good flavors are based off things in nature. Surely there are possible good flavors that nature didn't invent yet? I'm actually somewhat of a luddite, but, I figure, as long as we're going to have technology we might as well be efficient about it. And we may be missing efficient technologies for our purposes because don't think originally enough. On the other hand, nature has been around a long time and has found pretty efficient solutions to many problems, so maybe there's not much room for improvement regarding sources of inspiration.

Have you ever solved a mystery, or anything close to it?

ColorStorm:
There's something in electronic circuits called 1/f noise. It's noise all across the circuit in an intensity inversely proportional to the frequency. Why it exists is a complete mystery. But, it's also known that sound penetrates mediums with an efficiency inversely proportional to wavelength.. so, I figure it just makes sense that waves of all frequencies are being generated in the circuit, and the ones you hear more would be the ones that aren't damped out before they get to you, which would obviously conform to the latter 1/f rule.. no sure why nobody else has figured this out.

I should watch my words - some things are worse than boredom.

arman:
I'm trying to pinpoint my shoe size according to the American system. I measured my foot length with an online ruler. It says it's 14.5-15 inches long. This is equivalent to 22-23 in the American shoe size system. This is like the max shoe size for men! I swear my feet are not that big! I've seen bigger feet! My question is, what's your shoe size and how long is your foot in cm/inch? I need to compare!

ColorStorm:
14.5-15 inches is really long for feet. There's probably a problem with the online ruler. How long it will appear depends on the PPI of your screen and any scaling being done by your OS or browser. They probably didn't or couldn't code it to take in all the variables.

arman:
I suspected that too. I tried different online rulers. There was one that allowed me to calibrate the length based on my screen size. It said my foot is 10.5".

arman:
I don't have a physical measuring tape/ruler. I was very confused because I tried 3-4 online rulers and they all said I'm Bigfoot!

ColorStorm:

Funny/sad Christmas story I like 2tell, one Christmas day, I'm eight yrs old so it's 1996. I'm opening presents with my mom. My dad stumbles down the stairs, shaking off whatever he injected his arm the night before🙄. Totally ignores my mom cause they're fighting. Just talking to me about the toys I got. He gets up and trips, falls ass over kettle knocking the tree down.. lights fly everywhere.. my mom is screaming.. he gets up, elbows bleeding, points at me and says, I'm making you waffles. & he did🤣

ColorStorm:

What's the usual amount of paper towel you use after pooping? How many times do you wipe? Do you use wet wipes?

ColorStorm:
Too much/too many times. I want it to be totally clean, and that takes a lot of wipes. I don't know how many, I don't count. I wish we had a bidet. I don't use wet wipes. Well, sometimes on the second to last wipe I wet the toilet tissue and then wipe again with a dry one.

BidenLadysMan:
I'm not trying to make light of addiction, it ruined my childhood. The life I could have had with my dad He died when I was 14, and he was only 38 It made me a bitter, angry kid. But in the Christmases that have passed, I find myself looking back on that story with a smile. My father's choices complicated my life. the shadow of his addiction will be with me forever. But I think part of living a healthy life is learning to forgive those who trespass against us. So I forgive u dad.. u hear me down there! 🤣🤣

Here's a tube of toothpaste put some on a brush and scrub those things they call teeth.. get that yellow shit off them, your breath won't smell like a motherfucker. Deodorant, it's a miracle worker, rub it under your arms, would you, you fucking viking! 🤣

BidenLadysMan:
was thinking.. God created Adam. Adam is the first man to ever exist. Ok, at the sistine Chapel the paintings of Adam and God's fingers touching. Why does Adam have a belly button? Think about it. You have a belly button because you had an umbilical cord, because you came out of another person. But that didn't happen to Adam, so wtf? And why would Eve have a belly button. She wasn't birthed either. If God made Adam in his image does that mean God has a belly button...WHY!? Almost like this was all made up😏

ColorStorm:
Same reason Jesus is a tall white man with long, wavy hair :P

The other day I was asked what I did wear that day. I missed to mention the pair of thick woolen socks. Sorry! What are you wearing today that you forgot to mention?

ColorStorm:
I'm actually wearing socks now that I didn't have on the last time I said what I was wearing. Also, I changed my shirt and pants. I'm now wearing galaxy sweatpants and a colorful tie-dye shirt.

No fear of colors, eh? ;)

No :) And I get complimented on my clothes a lot

I like me a well styled person!

Kate is waiting at her gate at the airport. Kate walks to the booth and buys a lolli. Kate gives the lolli to a little boy who since half an hour wants to hug his mom but she's on her phone talking. Kate sits down. Kate feels miserable. The feeling of neglected love is a bitter one. A bitterness that no sweets can cancel. Kate goes to the booth again and buys another lolli for herself. Ding-Dong ... we are boarding now!

ColorStorm:
I love a charitable/caring person!

Kate:
As I am on my way back from France and lack my guide and translator I stand in awe listening to the flight attendant who repeats fluent in five languages the simple instructions to a crowd of mindless sheep.

ColorStorm:
I wonder if she knows those five languages, or only the instructions in them.

Kate:
The Italian sounded a bit robotic, yes. But the French was like I want to smooch my cheek to yours.

Kate:
I'm a victim to voices. Some voices charm me out of my mind and senses. When she talked French I felt the want of squeezing her bottom under my hands and kissing her lips. Very inappropriate I know. And she wasn't even my type. But it was only in my mind and without sinister goals. All tenderness and warmth. I fear I'm urgently in want and need of a long hug.

ColorStorm:
Imagine how bad it's perceived when a *guy* wants to do something like that innocently and lovingly, it's much worse =/

Kate:
It isn't worse for me, it's rather the same. It is natural that you enjoy the thought of physical contact. And it is natural to actually do this. But with mutual consent.

Wieselmann:
Do you get your teeth cleaned professionally once or twice a year?

ColorStorm:
I get them cleaned once every six months, but, due to a change in my mouth, my hygienist suggested I start getting them cleaned every four months. I think it might be because of the one tooth in the back that has a crown that crumbled a little bit, leaving empty spaces in my gums. I don't remember. We'll see if they have their sh\*t together and actually start scheduling me every four months instead of six--I'm not about to remind them.

They have rituals, especially coming of age rituals, and they tend to do a lot of face modification, especially the mouth, and to paint their faces. Some tribes are way happier than we are.

Wieselmann:
Would you like it if retrospring had a story-function like instagram?

ColorStorm:
I'm only familiar with Facebook's stories, and I don't like them. They're just like regular posts except a lot less convenient/accessible. And I'm not sure non-question-related stuff is relevant to the theme of the site. On the other hand, though, we're like a community, and anything that helps us interact more as a community is good. So idk. But I'd prefer regular FB-like posts than FB-like stories.

Why do some people reject compliments? Do you consider it rude to do so?

ColorStorm:
Because to accept the compliment would be to change their negative self-perception, and one person saying something isn't cathartic enough for them to do that. I don't think it's rude.

Sensory specific satiety. Is a scientific term. Meaning we enjoy food less the more we eat it. You can be eating something you really liked and wanted but half way through it you start to dislike it more and more. Have you ever experienced this?

It's easier to rob a lottery winner than winning the lottery. Do you agree?

ColorStorm:
Well, ease doesn't come into winning the lottery because you literally have no control over it. If you do win, though, it's extremely easy. I guess if you don't happen to win, robbing someone is way "easier" but it would still be extremely difficult to steal hundreds of millions if dollars and furthermore not to get caught.

I literally had no idea about the other "Subway" before I came to the US.

ColorStorm:
@FirstAndOnly96 Yeah, I noticed after reading some other answers that he was talking about something completely different. I'd either overlooked the word

ColorStorm:
@FirstAndOnly95 'station' or I unconsciously equated it to a shop because we have no subway stations where I live.

The oldest verified woman to give birth was 59 yrs old.. Even if your kid is born healthy is it ethical to have a child when there's a very good chance you won't be alive most of that child's life?

ColorStorm:
Is it ethical to have a child when you probably won't be around for the last 20 years of that child's life? Death sucks ass all around, and it's arbitrary where you draw the line..

BidenLadysMan:
True, still it's sad for a kid to grow up without a parent atleast through their formative years😔

LaDamaX:
I don’t think anyone means to get pregnant at 59, especially when the average age of menopause is 51. I’m sure that poor woman thought it was menopause. They

LaDamaX:

Did you have to wear a uniform to school? If so, describe it.

ColorStorm:
In elementary school, we had to wear, I think it was black pants, a white or red button up shirt, and a black tie with specific patriotic and/or religious symbols on it. The shirt color would alternate between white and red depending on the day of the week. I think we also needed a belt? The girls wore a...hmm.. I think it was a dark blue dress with the same symbols on it. In junior high, we could pick from a few different colors of pants and shirts, but all the colors were the same material and totally plain. There was a time when we didn't have to wear a uniform too, don't remember how many years that was. Or I think your parents could opt you out of having to wear a uniform, maybe they did that me? Idr. I guess the girls wore the same shirts and some kind of skirt, idr.

ColorStorm:
oh, I went to different schools for elementary school vs junior high, btw

ColorStorm:
oh, I forgot to mention the ties were clip on. And they may have been dark blue, not black. idk.

I think the belts had to be black.

Wieselmann:
Were you ever hurt by something that someone said on retrospring?

ColorStorm:
The people who are laughing and saying no aren't being honest with themselves. Nearly everyone is hurtable with words, even online, that's why they always insult you back when you insult them. If they weren't hurt, they wouldn't feel the need. The disconnect between reality and what they're saying is why they're starting it with "lol", "lmfao", etc., which also indicates immaturity. Disappointing. They're deathly afraid of appearing vulnerable/weak, because it's not cool. Anyway, yeah, I've been pretty hurt by something someone said here.

LaDamaX:
When I read the question, I was thinking hurt as in I was crying or had my heart broken. Hurt in the sense that I was bothered or peeved. Yes. Absolutely.

Yes, it's scammers. They hope you'll respond so they can start a conversation with you and it'll seem innocent since it was just a "wrong number." I've read about this, but I suspected they were scammers already.

LaDamaX:
I once got one and pretended to be a nun at a convent.

Dogboy2709:
and then it gets to the point where they try to get you to sign up for a fake crypto website. usually just saying "scam" to them in some way stops them from responding.

Dogboy2709:
got one of these early today, once i realized, i just send "just send the scam link already" ....and no response. scammers dont waste time if you know they are trying to scam you

It doesn't bother me, I've done it. Not often though, I'm almost always with someone whenever I'm out. I can only remember eating alone in public at an airport.

Scrolling through Instagram I saw people arguing. Surprising everyone is usually so kind and understanding to eachother online😜😆. There was a girl online who posted one pic of herself each month of this yr. In each picture she was losing weight getting thinner. Which is great. Others praised her for the discipline she's showing because she was really fat. Another person brought up something that intrigued me. Saying. Where was her discipline when she was gaining the weight? Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I guess she didn't have the discipline when she was gaining it, but she had it when she was losing it. So? Things change. I wouldn't shame her for the past, when it's laudable that she eventually came around. (Not that you should shame overweight people eithercway, I guess. It's a cultural problem.) I guess she got tired of being overweight, tired enough eventually to find the resolve. Or who knows what else could have changed in her life.

Usually on a dating site, so it's more acceptable. Even on those, though, I don't really ask them out - I just try to start conversation. It never lasts long. I've never asked a girl out in person, too shy. I asked one girl out on Facebook by saying, "maybe we should hang out sometime." She kinda likes me and we have a little bit of history. She hasn't responded, though. Another time I messaged her she responded months later.

Kate:
Would you rather live in a city or in a rural area? Why?

ColorStorm:
I'd rather live in a suburban area like I do now, city is a bit much, I don't like all the concrete, smog, traffic, etc. And the problem with rural is it's like an hour or two drive to get a whole lot of things that are five minutes away in suburbia. I like the convenience. And it's nice to be close to a hospital in case there's an emergency. If I had to choose between city and rural, I'm not sure, because I've never lived in either.

ColorStorm:
weird I just went into ##philosophy in IRC and the first thing I saw was this: There are benefits and drawbacks to both. I've lived in rural areas and lived in cities. In cities you get unparalleled variety and convenience. In the country you get quiet and proximity to nature. When you choose one then you're usually paying for it by giving up some of the other's benefits.

Idk, maybe something not too different from what we have now, as I expect civilization to be collapsing within a generation or two due to our unsustainable decimation of the environment--mass extinction, land and ocean habitat devastation, forest depletion, global warming, water wars, top soil depletion, etc. Otherwise, maybe...something like the atomizer in Elysium, or the replicator in Star Trek. But maybe not, I'm not sure it's a very feasible technology since apparently not even the aliens that visit us with their advanced technology have it - if they did, they wouldn't have to steal biological material from our cows (I'm referring to several well-documented occasions of mass cow mutilations with no blood spill and certain organs removed with laser-like precision, where I'm not even sure humans have the technology to do such things).

Aside from the usual things such as brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, etc., what MUST you do before going to bed?

ColorStorm:
Nothing, really, but often I tell Alexa to start playing music.

LaDamaX:
Instrumental? I can’t sleep w music on.

ColorStorm:
i have a few different station i listen to, most of them are mixes of instrumental and with vocals, the jazz station is all or almost all instrumental

ColorStorm:
I can sleep fine with music on but occasionally the music wakes me up but I suspect that's only when I was about to wake up anyway

ColorStorm:
Sometimes when the music is on loud enough I can hear it in my dreams 🤣

ColorStorm:
i think teh stations i listen to tend to have less vocals than your average music

Tell us about an interesting item you own:

Too many things to choose from, though they're all only mildly interesting. I'll say one thing that comes to mind, a couple of cylinder-shaped Edison records or whatever they're called.

Andy:
Looks to be a valuable antique

Tell me about your favorite teacher.

ColorStorm:
I don't know, maybe my Economics teacher in high school, Mr. Beverley. He used to work as a high-up exec at a big oil company. He also said he was a member of the original Dead Poet's Society, whatever that means. Anyway, he used to take up the whole class just telling us stories (having nothing to do with economics), and he'd go off on one branch after another, but at the end he'd always get back to the original point. One of my classmates and I were exchanging funny sayings we'd make up once, and he wrote, "Mr. Beverley never leaves a turn unstoned."

ColorStorm:
He once told the class it's not the size of the pencil that counts, but how you sign your name.

ColorStorm:
Oh and one time he asked us if we saw the movie The Substitute, and this one girl said she saw it and it was awful, it was just a bunch of explosions, and then

ColorStorm:
he said his cousin produced it, and she felt so embarrassed, hehe.

Would you try out hard drugs if you knew that you had one month left to live?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. I'd think about MDMA, LSD or shrooms or something. Probably not, though, cuz I'd have no connections and if I did I'd worry about the quality of the drugs.

If you were given the opportunity to undo one “knot” in your life, which would you choose?

My debilitating insecurity, of course. Though I don't think that's the only knot I have. If that were the only one, maybe I could work around it and make it. I think I have about 50 knots that all work together.

LaDamaX:
If you could pick one scent to waft/emanate from your person for the rest of your life wherever you go, what aroma would you pick? Why?

ColorStorm:
The first time I had a psychotic break, I once smelled a scent with my entire body. It was the most beautiful scent I'd ever smelled. I called it "the beginning of the beginning." I think it represents my essence when it's at its best. I have some perfume which I think might be kind of close to the smell, though not nearly as impressive, Aqua Invictus by Paco Rabanne.

LaDamaX:
Have you had any supernatural encounters or experiences? Tell me.

ColorStorm:
I don't remember this, but I remember remembering it -- when I was little I was outside of this building in Texas at night, and I saw a guy wearing white riding around the field on a white horse. They may or may not have been translucent. I figured I must've seen a ghost, and I heard years later that there's a legend in Texas of a ghost riding a white horse (wearing white too, maybe, idr).

How often do you use mouthwash?

ColorStorm:
I used to use it once a day, but then I found out if you use it sooner than 20 (or was it 30?) minutes after you brush it prevents the tooth paste from doing its work, and I never remembered to mouthwash 20 minutes after I brushed, so I got out of the habit. There's still the rest of my mouthwash sitting on the counter in a fancy jar my niece gave me, that's probably been there a year. :P

If someone running for office admits that they've said racist things in the past, but are sorry about it. Are they forgivable?

Wieselmann:
How did you embarrass yourself recently?

ColorStorm:
I'm so awkward. Just this morning, I was at a hotel and wanted to go to the second floor. I wanted to take the elevator, which was on the way to the stairs, but then there was a guy and his little daughter waiting for it and I felt a little uncomfortable. But I decided it would look weird to turn around and go to the stairs so I waited with them. Then the guy in the elevator came out, and the daughter and maybe her father and I both moved to get into the elevator at the same time, and the doors ended up closing with neither of us getting on. I tried to stick my shoeless toe in between them to stop them, and the guy said, "You have a lot of balls for sticking your toe in there like that!", and I, being too anxious to quickly figure out how to explain that the door senses if anything's blocking it and stops shutting if there is, just replied, "I think it's gentle." Then I said, "I'll just take the stairs" and left.

[2023-01-07]

AGR:
What is one thing you'd want to master?

ColorStorm:
Articulation. I want to be able to say exactly what I'm thinking about a subject, which is hard, because I'm an INTJ and we think very abstractly, outside of language. It would be an art I've not yet developed. I think it would make me a very powerful influencer.

AGR:
Beginning to learn other languages I noticed how language itself is like a system that we think inside of. Sometimes it's incompatible or even misleading.

AGR:
I'll see if my opinion changes in a month or 2.

ColorStorm:
I think it's common to think inside of language, but not everybody does. I know because I don't. (I've studied other languages too)

AGR:
Thinking about this. I do go by feel and intuition a lot nowadays

ColorStorm:
it's not just feel and intuition i don't do linguistically, it's conceptualization in general

Is there a food that you use to love but you've gotten older and your body can't really take it anymore? Like a good that's too spicy so it ruins your stomach or a foos too crunchy that it hurts your teeth now.. etc😊

ColorStorm:
I like strawberry milk, but at some point in my life having too much milk started giving me some abdominal pains and diarrhea. I like other milk products too, like milkshake, cereal with milk in it, coffee with cream, etc., but those things usually don't seem to give me diarrhea that I've noticed.

ColorStorm:
Brushing your teeth is worth doing even half-assed, but better if you do it full-assed. Not sure to the second question, I'd say working for an evil corporation (they're almost all evil) is only worth doing half-assed, but my sister works hard AF and always gets promoted, so.

I'm sleepless now. How could you bring yourself to sleep?

ColorStorm:
The only thing that's really effective for me is to masturbate, but I rarely do that because I rarely need to sleep when I'm not sleepy. I think that only works for guys, though, orgasming really takes a lot out of us. Otherwise, try telling your echo dot to play sleep music. Only works if you're subscribed to Amazon Music.

Wieselmann:
Do you think you are responsible for more CO2 emissions than the average european citizen?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I think the US consumes about 80% of the world's resources while only having about 4% of its population, so I may have a larger carbon footprint just by being an American. On the other hand, I don't have a job so I don't use transportation a lot, and when I do I'm always with someone else who probably would have gone without me anyway.

Andy:
Would you ever give money to some online person you know to help them get out of a bad situation? You don't know them very well and you'll likely never meet them.

ColorStorm:
I did exactly that. $1700

Andy:
Any regrets?

ColorStorm:
Kind of. I don't regret my generosity per se, but I found out she got into the mess by dealing with some shady people (I don't know the details). That alone

ColorStorm:
wouldn't necessarily deter me from helping her out, and she said she's learned her lesson, but, whatever happened, my money did nothing for her situation and

ColorStorm:
she asked me for another 17 or 18 hundred or whatever it was. (no, she wasn't scamming me.) and in the end she just solved the problem by reporting them to the

ColorStorm:
police. So, as far as I can tell, my money was wasted.

ColorStorm:
If I ever decide to give someone so much money again, I'll probably demand to learn more about their situation first.

Andy:
Do you still keep in touch with them?

ColorStorm:
It's not worth it to give money though, because my dad was pissed off at me because he was absolutely positive she was scamming me even though he knew nothing

ColorStorm:
of her, what she said, or what my relationship to her is.

ColorStorm:
Yes I still keep in touch with them. We're still friends.

ColorStorm:
She kept telling me over a period of weeks or months afterward that she was going to pay me back, but she always has financial difficulties and she never did.

ColorStorm:
but that's okay, I wanted to just give her the money. I only made it a loan because my mom demanded it.

ColorStorm:
(there are reasons why it's my parents' business what I do with my money. It's complicated.)

Andy:
Scam is the first instinct for sure. Did she pay you back and keep in touch?

ColorStorm:
check out the above comments xd

If people laugh at you, how do you react?

ColorStorm:
I only remember someone laughing at me once. I did something totally embarrassing, because I'm a freak, and I think someone laughed at me. I'm not sure, he could have been laughing at something else. I felt humiliated and angry at him, because I felt he was abusing me for laughing at my expense. I didn't do anything though.

Wieselmann:
Do the past and future exist?

ColorStorm:
Good question. The honest answer is, I have no idea. It's kind of paradoxical, though. If the past doesn't exist, what is the past? What do we remember? What is time/the passage of time? Some people say the past, present and future all exist now, but they don't really explain how that is/"where" the past and the present exist. Julian Barbour has a model to explain it that seems to make some sense, though his books aren't very good. Some people answer this by saying that the past "did exist" and the future "will exist," but that's no answer because "did" just means something's in the past and "will" just means something's in the future, so it explains nothing.

---

[2022-06-10]

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's okay that probably everyone will get infected with Corona multiple times?

ColorStorm:
Okay? Not sure how to answer that. Is anything bad "okay?" Or are things only not okay if they're past a certain degree of badness? To draw a perhaps arbitrary line, I'd say people dying from Corona isn't okay. People having long Corona and crying because everything they eat tastes like raw sewage, or being cognitively impaired, or whatever, is not okay. People just getting it briefly and getting over it is relatively okay. Same for people getting it multiple times as long as they don't get long Covid. Or maybe it's not okay because if everyone can get it multiple times then the virus will never go away..

Wieselmann:
Which billionaire do you hate the most?

ColorStorm:
I don't really hate any of them. In fact, lately I've been practicing having no/as few as possible negative thoughts about myself or anybody else. It's a tight rope to walk, observing people's shortcomings or evils and not thinking negatively/condemningly.

Should cats be kept indoors?

ColorStorm:
IMO, no, it's kind of like keeping them in prison all their lives. I think the freedom, range, adventure, interaction, etc. they get from being outdoors outweighs the safety risk. Though if you live in an apartment I guess you don't have much choice.

ColorStorm:
I've never heard of that. To answer the second question, I'll look that up. No, we've never suspected that unless you call our ghost we named José. If you mean the other definition, a frog sitting like a human, that probably hasn't happened in our home either. Frogs don't get in here much, despite how many of them there are outside.

I mean examples like the Denver Spiderman, a killer that lived in someone else's residence without the owner's knowledge.

Jennifer Aniston has gone viral after saying that social media influencers are 'famous for basically doing nothing'... is she right?

ColorStorm:
It may be true for some influencers, not for others. I think a lot of them put a lot of work and/or talent into their craft. And some of them may be popular just for being pretty or having a certain kind of personality. But I don't know what Jennifer Aniston's point is, life isn't and never has been even remotely fair. Some people just have lots of money or fame for doing little to nothing, some people live on the street for reasons beyond their control, etc. I don't understand why everyone is so quick to attack Jennifer over this though and criticize her acting. She's a great actor, and what she said isn't 100% wrong.

'Pretty' is limited to people and maybe some other living things. 'Beautiful' is more general, e.g. a painting can be beautiful. I guess when describing a person it's one notch up from pretty. 'Gorgeous' isn't a word I use, I guess it's what women use to describe men.

I bought something I don't really need, which doesn't help the environmental crisis at all. But I'm definitely enjoying it at the moment. I buy things I don't need all the time, most of them containing plastic, and I know I shouldn't. If anything is a sin then destroying the world we live in is.

Why is the burden seemingly always placed on the consumer? What about the corporations? 😣

ColorStorm:
it's placed on the consumer because the corporations want it that way. i'm not saying the corporations aren't guilty. and, of course, the only way to stop this

ColorStorm:
is at the level of regulation of corporations, but still, if i weren't for people buying their crap we wouldn't have this probem either

ColorStorm:
problem*

ColorStorm:
the fact is that by buying these items i'm increasing carbon footprint, plastics in the biosphere, etc., that i didn't need to do, whether the corporations are

ColorStorm:
also guilty or not.

ColorStorm:
if everyone banded together and stopped buying things that create waste and carbon, we wouldn't need to regulate the corporations. the practical fact is that

ColorStorm:
won't happen but that doesn't mean the populace isn't guilty. and, tbh, regulating corporations isn't realistically going to happen either because they're in

ColorStorm:

ColorStorm:
while corporations are definitely guilty and need to be stopped, i think there's a tendency of people to want to put the blame solely on them because realizing

The Supreme Court of the US has overturned Roe v. Wade, ending 50 years of federal abortion rights. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I'm indifferent about the issue of abortion itself: on one hand, it's not necessarily a woman's body she's modifying, but another human's body within her that she's killing, and a person currently within the role of the mother archetype reaching in and snuffing out her own unborn child is sick. But on the other hand, humans suffer more than they are happy in general, so the person being aborted is probably lucky (and yes, obviously unwanted babies to teens, poor families, drug addicts, etc. are probably going to have even harder lives). But, I do hope that this kick in the face to the majority of the population will backfire for the Republicans, perhaps by causing a whole lot of people to vote Democrat in the future.

[Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNaGACWW4D0] Have you ever been blamed for something you didn't do?

ColorStorm:
One time when I was little I asked my grandmother if I could eat the crumbs around a cake that was on the table. I did, and I ended up getting closer and closer to the cake until I was basically scraping out the bottom edges of the cake to eat them. My grandma didn't like that. But somebody had eaten the cherry off the top of the cake, and she assumed I did that too, which I didn't. She didn't believe me even when I told her I didn't do it. Oh yeah, and once in junior high we had to write book reports on whatever book we wanted, I wrote mine on a book called The Plague about a plague that started in Miami, Florida (where I live), and I lost the book, and the teacher thought I made it all up. I couldn't convince her otherwise. I think I got an F. (This was the same hot teacher I mentioned before who used to flirt with the students.)

ColorStorm:
Also one time my grandmother-in-law (the person my grandfather married after the aforementioned grandmother) accused me of lying, I don't remember about what,

ColorStorm:
I was practicing shining a light in my mind and finding all negative thoughts about myself and eliminating them and, to some extent, eliminating negative thoughts about all other people too, and I felt like it was making my aura white. So I asked my friend Arlen what color my aura was, and he said white with blue. That made me happy to have someone corroborate/prove that my aura was white so I was pure and worthy of spiritual success, and then he said my aura suddenly changed to happy colors. That was online so he couldn't see me express any happiness, which I didn't anyway. It was the first time I'd felt a brief amount of happiness in many, many years.

Here's what I said: samovar: i guess you could say truistically that nobody can overcome the limitations of their own mind, but i think i'm just unusually adept at coming to truths because of a few reasons put together: unusual brightness, unusual intuition, unusual ability to be fiercely logical without being rationalistic, unusual ability to integrate emotions, intuition and mysticism with logical thought, the ability to know when i kno something and when i don't as opposed to just making insufficiently founded assumptions like most people do.. and these aren't things i've developed or the result of overcoming something, i've always been this way, though i think i do refine my views over time and learn more just because i have time to discover and think samovar: oh, i forgot also ununual imaginativeness and ability to see all possible sides or explanations of an issue

ColorStorm:
I don't know about "deserves"; I don't know if anybody *deserves* to have millions of times as much attention as anybody else, but I'd say, of all the celebrity types, politicians *should* get the most attention. Not because they deserve it--not by far--but because our quality of life depends on knowing their character (whether they're corrupt or not) and their political stances and track records.

Well they're obviously opposites, but sometimes apparent opposites work on different principles and aren't really symmetrical. My guess is that in this case the principle is the same and they're symmetrical: if you have a positive attitude and expect good things to come to you or for bad things never to come to you, you'll have good luck; if you have a negative attitude and expect bad things to come to you or for good things never to come to you, you'll have bad luck

How do you justify eating meat?

ColorStorm:
It makes me angry that so many people answering this question seem completely out of touch with, or indifferent about, the misery we put animals through for their entire lives via factory farming. "It's tasty" isn't a decent justification. Neither is "other animals eat animals"; they don't torture each other via factory farming. And besides that, just because something happens in nature doesn't mean it's good. Maybe nature is evil? It sure seems like it.

Do you use any voice assistant (e.g. Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, etc)? If so, what do you usually use it for?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I only have two Echo Dots because my cousin works as a programmer at Amazon (making 100k/year) and gave me an Echo Dot for Christmas...twice. I use it all the time but just to play music (jazzradio.com, di.fm, Amazon music, I Heart Radio, YouTube) (actually I've only used my YouTube plugin like once)...I'll probably use it less often though now that I got better speakers for my laptop so I tend to play music through my laptop now. I don't think I've used Alexa once since I got them.

Which blessing would you take? The ability to speak to animals OR the ability to speak all human languages.

ColorStorm:
Definitely talk to animals, not even close. Anybody can learn a foreign language if they need or want to, or even just use Google translate. Compared to talking to animals, you'd hardly learn anything new just by talking to people who speak a different language. It would be fascinating, world-changing, groundbreaking to know what animals are thinking. It would be something akin to first contact. Also I could tell all these damn cats to use the litterboxes. =P

Wieselmann:
What's your favorite book? Why do you like it so much?

ColorStorm:
Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, either book 1 or book 3. Why? I'll copy from my blog: I’m really good at seeing all of the subtle flaws and shortcomings of people, like in their writings, on the conceptual level, on the level of actual motivations and intentions, on the level of grammar and whether they choose the best possible word for the job, etc.. and the parts in Neale’s books where God speaks, it’s absolutely flawless. In all of those senses. That’s more an unusual occurrence as far as I’m concerned than you might realize. I’ve literally never encountered any text or spoken word so flawless in my life. So it makes sense that the explanation for that fact would be that it's actually God talking as is the premise of the books. I mean obviously someone who’s trying to channel God is going to sound as perfect as possible, but this is a matter of subtle things, unconscious motivation, cognitive perfection and talent and grace at using language that you can’t do just by wanting to. and people want to sound perfect all the time after all. Furthermore, the ‘energy’ behind the text, as in the messages it contains and the style, or maybe simply something spiritually tacked onto the text directly, was absolutely, 100% pure in my perception. It was so pure and neutral that it was almost unworldly. (I don’t know if I should say it was 100% neutral, because it wasn’t exactly indifferent, or he wouldn’t have had a reason to say anything, and I think he had some amount of passion about certain subjects, but it was neutral of biases or all but the most sublime energies or whatever.) As for the information given in the books, it's very interesting and illuminating and pertains to so many issues at the core of life. And he said a few things that I'd always believed but had never heard anybody else say. I once even dropped a tear onto the page as I was reading, and it's not easy to make me cry.

Who or what do you credit for your happiness and/or unhappiness? Why?

ColorStorm:
I credit my parents for my lifelong misery. People say we shouldn't blame anybody but ourselves, but I think that's not always true. There really are such things as victims and abusers, and there really is such a thing as bad parents making their kids' entire lives miserably through the impressions they make on them during their formative years. And the *reason* people say you should never blame anybody but yourself is that to think of someone as an unfortunate victim, through no fault of their own, would invoke compassion, and compassion is a burden so who has time for that? Also I think it has to do with our culture of toxic individualism and the ideology that we should all lift ourselves up by our own bootstraps.

A woman in New Zealand saw her young son with a toothbrush pretending it's a gun and pointing it at the cat pretending to shoot it. So repulsed by it she put her son up for adoption. She stated, Her son was showing "signs of toxic male behavior" and she will not tolerate it. Keep in mind her son didn't hurt the cat at all. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
A bit of an overreaction, and not good for the son at all. Well, I don't know about how things are in New Zealand for children up for adoption. But then, either way, being taken away from one's mother/family at a young age has a *huge* traumatic effect on the brain. But then, she seems a bit crazy, and for all we know, maybe she was a terrible parent. Anyway, the chances of your child being perfect / exactly how you'd want them to be are virtually zero, and maybe she needs to realize that. And pretending to shoot living things is probably just something he learned from culture, children absorb culture like a sponge, there's little you can do about it.

This is going to make women mad But Scarlett Witch is nowhere near the power level of Dr Strange, He's the most powerful magician in the universe. He gets an idea how to stop her at the end but only the young girl can do it. OMG! Thoughts?🤣

A tik tok girl was told that she weighted too much to ride their horses at a ranch. She smears the ranch and other thristy MFers join in on it. Apparently you can't weigh 250lbs including weight of the saddle and gear. She is 240lb. Sorry girl, you can't break the horse's back to protect your feelings🙄 thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I agree. Fat pride has gotten out of hand, and that's why some people somehow can't comprehend that there are practical reasons for some weight limits. Also they have no compassion for animals.

ColorStorm:
I guess stupidity and especially herd stupidity have been around forever, it's just always taking on new forms.

BidenLadysMan:
I'm sure she was embarrassed and I understand that. But that can be and should be an eye opening experience for her to lose some weight.

BidenLadysMan:
Sometimes being embarrassed is good it forces you to reasse your life

Yeah, I can see how it would be embarrassing. But whether or not it inspires her to lose weight, smearing the ranch shows a disappointing lack of awareness.

Not necessarily. It depends on the lies or half-truths and their intentions/consequences. I guess you could say that in general half truth are worse because they're more convincing, make it harder to distinguish the lies from the truth, actually co-opt the truth, and are more cunning.

If you discovered that learning/doing something can potentially increase your earnings, would you tell other people about it?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. The disadvantage to telling others about it is that, if enough people find out about it, it will lose its relative advantage and value (if for no other reason than increased inflation). On the other hand, unless the benefits are relativity immediate and earth-moving, the thing in question is unlikely to win widespread popularity. On the other hand, why tell people about it while hoping it only spreads to a small number of people? Why should they know and not everybody else? Especially considering it's a bit of a zero-sum game?

What led to your particular political beliefs, was there a moment where you turned from one side to the other? (You don't have to tell us what it is conservative, liberal etc)🙂

ColorStorm:
I was a Republican when I registered to vote at 18. (I didn't bother to officially change my party until just a couple of years ago.) I just felt that the government should be as small as possible. I don't know why I felt that way, I guess I was naive and thought everything else would work itself out. Maybe I saw the government as the bad guy. Maybe I thought it was too controlling. Maybe I was afraid of them taking away from me (or from everyone?) to pay for all their causes. There wasn't one specific moment that changed me (that I remember), but somewhere along the line I just stopped being so childish and realized that things don't work themselves out without the government. The government is literally the underpinning of civilization. There are so many people that need aid that wouldn't get it without the government, there are so many services that all-around work better and more egalitarianly when they're taken care of by the government than by thoroughly amoral (i.e., evil), profiteering corporations, and there are so many regulations we need to impose on corporations to stop them from acting evil and being a net drawback for the community, our freedom, our rights, our physical health, our mental health, wealth distribution, the environment, etc. I think the keys to growing up and moving from conservative to liberal are compassion, lack of selfishness, and lack of naive idealism.

Kate:
A nation isn't held together by parades, football field size flags, singing anthems or shouting nationalistic paroles. It is the social bonding based on

I don't remember them off-hand though. So one thing that does come to mind is Windows 95. It would crash constantly. And it didn't help that, with the hardware limitations of that time, it ran really slowly. Nowadays it would run faster (probably blazingly fast), but I think it would still crash. If it would even run on a modern computer--I'm not sure. Though, even if it would, aside from the crashing, it wouldn't run any software you can easily get nowadays, and probably no web browser you can run on it would be compatible with any modern website.

Wieselmann:
Do you care about the experiments at the LHC or about particle physics in general?

ColorStorm:
I care a little bit, not enough to go out of my way to find out what's been going on. I care because it's possible that they could discover things that enable more sophisticated technologies later down the line. But I think our knowledge of particle physics is way ahead of what we could actually do anything with, and I'm not sure buildings like the LHC are worth the billions in cost. I mean, there are people sleeping in the streets, and we're spending billions on essentially satisfying the curiosity of some scientists. And, even if we did find a way to use this information technologically, I think my interest in furthering our technology is feeding the wrong wolf. Technology has only created emptiness and suffering in our lives and decimated the biosphere. The only reason we're so enamored with the prospect of future technologies is that we're not happy or content *now*, and we think technology must be the answer. And the reason we're not happy or content now is that we're immersed in technology, separated from nature, God, ourselves. As for our desire to understand the universe and our ideas of doing that through particle physics, the LHC and other experiments, I think the approach is too physicalist and reductionist to really be satisfying. No answer we can possibly arrive at through this methodology will be deeply satisfying or spiritually fulfilling. And nor can any of the answers be absolute or final, because for any discovery that X is like X because of Y, we can always ask why Y is like Y. I wrote more about this here https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/#Reductionism and I think one other essay too but I'm too lazy to find it.

Would you rather know the precise time you will die, or how you will die but not know when?

Precise time. Knowing how long I'll live, and not to mention being able to wrap things up or do whatever I want or whatever at the last minute is way more important than something as fleeting as cause of death.

Lol and knowing the cause but not the time would make me super paranoid. Like you're going to drown, how?! In a bathtub should I move to the desert 😄

Actor rainn wilson.. I think he's in The Office. The woke community got mad at him over a tweet talking about Breastfeeding vs Chestfeeding. Apparently you can't say Breastfeeding anymore it alienates Trans ppl. He apologized saying that after speaking to his trans friends I've been educated and apologize for misinformation. What? Men can't Breastfeed, that's not misinformation that's fact.. it might get me banned from here or anywhere but fuck your feelings it's science. 🙄

ColorStorm:
There's no point in having another word for breastfeeding, because if you don't have breasts (real ones, that lactate), then you can't feed a baby. You can't breastfeed or chestfeed or anything else. You're right, it's just fact. The woke community seems completely insane.

I don't vote and it is not even because of that saying "If voting could change anything it would be made illegal!" Why is voting important for you or why do you think it is a waste?

ColorStorm:
In my country there are two parties, and they're polar opposites of each other. They have opposite views on just about every issue. One party is in the right about almost everything, the other party is in the wrong about almost everything. And the house and senate pretty much vote for everything directly on party lines. So it makes a *huge* difference whether the president is a Republican or a Democrat, what the majority in the house is and what the majority in the senate is. And other things such as the state governor. If the evil party likes voting more than the good party does, then the country goes down the toilet. It *does* make a difference. So we have to fight for the good.

Wieselmann:
"I am not vegan because my behaviour does not have a significant impact on the mass animal farming situation anyway. "-Is that a stupid argument?

ColorStorm:
"Stupid" may be an overstatement, but I don't think it's a reasonable argument. The more meat (or eggs, or milk, or whatever) you eat, the more misery you cause. Some animals are going to suffer because you're not a vegan that wouldn't have suffered otherwise. It may be a drop in the bucket of the whole situation, but it doesn't by far mean that the suffering of those individual animals that wouldn't have suffered otherwise doesn't matter. It's sort of like saying, "I'm going to sexually molest my children because it happens so much anyway that the effect my behavior has is only a drop in the bucket." The main difference here is that you don't get to *see* the misery you're causing by eating meat/eggs/milk/whatever. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ThndXIlb3iY/UD5OHBEmvdI/AAAAAAAAAlY/FV8kYCuf038/s1600/starfish+story.jpg And this is to say nothing of whether we should be good citizens and do what it would be good if everyone did even if our own individual choices are of small consequence. It's like the "paradox of voting": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_voting . Our own individual vote won't change the outcome of the election, so why bother trying? But then, what if everyone thought that way? Or worse, what if all the most rational people didn't vote for that reason? We'd be screwed!

I doubt there's *anything* that absolutely *everyone* finds beautiful. People are too different, and there are too many weirdos. On the other hand, if beauty has any real meaning, you'd think it would have to be inherent in some way. I think beauty is a reflection of higher truths/the cosmos. Maybe the fact that some things are considered beautiful by many while others aren't is enough to indicate that beauty is, at least to some degree, in some sense, inherent.

Or maybe on a certain level we understand that their spirit is at peace now and they've realized all their follies and became better souls.

Singer Macy Gray went on Pierce Morgan and said "Surgery doesn't make you a woman, I'll call you her if that's what you want but it doesn't change who u are" a shit storm decended on her. 4 days later she goes on the Today show and apologized. Walking it back. I know why she took it back. She had to. The woke mob would end her career what she has of one. And they are a mob. They're using mob tactics to intimidate you into seeing the world the way they want you too. It's getting crazy. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
It's a true statement and not even a particularly malicious or charged one, inherently, but the mob didn't like it because it defies the delusion that they live under and are trying to force everybody to accept. You can't entertain the delusion that you're a woman if other people don't agree with you, it's just a big game. It's one of the worst outcomes of cancel culture, and it's a shame she capitulated. Not that I blame her, I guess, it's expected. Not sure if I would do that in the same situation, though. I think I would try to apologize while talking my way around actually going directly back on my position.

Have you ever been blindsided by your own feelings? Ex: You were expecting to feel one way about something and you felt another… OR perhaps you weren’t expecting to feel anything at all and you did.

ColorStorm:
Yeah, it happened just yesterday or earlier today. My heart felt negative about and rejected a few situations/people that I normally like. I didn't feel happy about it. I don't know where that came from. It's dangerous for my heart to reject things that I don't want it to reject because it has the tendency of making things happen.

LaDamaX:
What do you mean by “it has the tendency to make things happen”?

ColorStorm:
It can cause people to make certain decisions like breaking ties, it can cause things that are affecting you to cease (like a music station playing, for

like your heart pushes someone away and then they stop talking to you (without you having said or done anything to them). or you decide that the sound of the

ColorStorm:
current song playing is doing you dirty and then it immediately shifts to a different sound.

ColorStorm:
or you're watching a movie or tv show and you decide on a deep level that if what it looks like is about to happen happens then you'll judge it as evil or

ColorStorm:
laughable or something, and then something else happens instead.

ColorStorm:
or you judge someone in an interview you're watching and at the same time they backpedal their words or apologize or look bashful or something

ColorStorm:
i know this implies that we can change things retroactively. there have been experiments that verify that we actually can.

It's hard to explain, it's just a motion in the heart. As to how to avoid it, it sounds like that's a problem only I have, doesn't seem to apply to you, but

But if a 13 yr old girl can consent to having her body surgical altered to a drastic degree why can't she consent to sex with a 40 yr old man? Once you open pandora's box you can't close it🤷‍♂️

If you had been given a different name at birth, do you think you might have been a different person?

ColorStorm:
I think that, in general, people's personalities have a strong correlation to their names. I don't know if it's because parents intuitively name their child something that will match their personality, or if it's because the name helps define the person's self-image, or maybe people's expectations of what they'll be like when interacting with them causes them to fit into the mold. I think I personally wouldn't have been much different if I'd had a different name, though, because I never socialized enough for my name to become an important part of my identity.

By 'friend' I guess you mean love interests? I brought one girl home in about 2000 that they never met. Nobody was home while she was here. We did sexitime. Another girl I brought home in about 2006, I don't remember my parents saying anything about her then, but we got back together (as friends, I guess) in about 2016 and she's visited us a few times since then, my mom kept getting upset at her and at one point said, "this is the last straw" or something like that, but IMO the problem was just that my friend is kinda out of it nowadays which makes her difficult, it's not like she's "bad". Another girlfriend I never brought here, but we visited her in the Philippines, at first my mom thought she might be a scammer, she changed her mind eventually, she likes her AFAIK but she did kinda resent that they diddn'ttell her how much they'd be expecting her to spend on our tour of the Philippines they took us on.

Idk, it's a lot of effort, I'm really lazy, and I don't think that her sending me cards means I'm obligated to send any back (I sent one once because I really liked the card.

We also talked about me sending her a few hundred dollars a month, I forget what for, maybe for a Personal Advocate, but again, iffy because of welfare on both sides

LaDamaX:
Honestly, I think you’ve gone above and beyond.

ColorStorm:
It's easy for me, actually. I don't work or pay any bills and get free money, so I have thousands I don't do anything with. But yeah, I really care about her.

LaDamaX:
Still, it’s your money.

What are common logical fallacies that you encounter in discussions with others?

ColorStorm:
The most common logical fallacy I see in the wild is confusing "if X then Y" with "if Y then X" or "all X are Y" with "all Y are X". Another one I see a lot, particularly in the news, is assuming correlation is causation.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and also deriving "not X, therefore not Y" from "X, therefore Y"

Does living a meaningful life require a certain degree of suffering?

ColorStorm:
Depends on how lucky you are and what planet you live on. Even if you live on this planet, there may be some societies where you can live a meaningful life with minimal suffering, I'm not sure. Oh, and it depends on what species you are, too. Humans have it really really bad compared to all or most of the other species. Probably everyone suffers to *some* degree, however small, though, which would seem to make the answer to your question technically "no."

ColorStorm:
Then there is incorporeal life, which is a whole other can of worms/unknowns.

Would you ever date someone who is severely bipolar?

ColorStorm:
There was a really pretty girl at my grandma's ALF who was bipolar. I would have asked her out if I weren't so shy. So I'd try it out, but.. I'd probably regret it because she'd rage on me every other day for some trivial reason.

BidenLadysMan:
She may😄 I have a very deep friendship with a girl who is very bipolar. She doesn't rage as much as just get super depressed. Then she'll be happy.

BidenLadysMan:
and want to do lots of things at all hrs of the night. I always wondered could I date her, and what a relationship with her be like

[2022-04-13]

BidenLadysMan:
A man is on a podcast a few yrs ago. He and the hosts are making jokes and he strangely blurts out he wants to rape the girl they're talking about. Not fuck her which is what most guys say but rape her. It's discovered and he's suspended from his work and pays a small fine. Should he have been fired?

ColorStorm:
No, that's ridiculous. What does his ability/usefulness at doing a job and his ability to make a living for himself have to do with his urge to rape a woman? This is just cancel culture..

BidenLadysMan:
I do hate canceling ppl. But I guess it comes down to is he a threat to female employees

BidenLadysMan:
What dark impulses does he have boiling around inside him. Because that is very strange to say

ColorStorm:
So he should be homeless because of one comment?

BidenLadysMan:
There are other jobs. He can find another one. But I think a priority of a boss running a business is to keep his employees safe. And having someone like that

BidenLadysMan:
May not be safe. Because he sounds disturbed

ColorStorm:
what's the difference between having one job and another? you don't even know where he works, so you don't know he's more dangerous there than he would be at

ColorStorm:
some other random job

BidenLadysMan:
Hopefully he would learn from the experience, maybe even seek counseling. I get that you don't want to end someone's career over something they say.

BidenLadysMan:
But there needs to be consequences for what we do in life. And sometimes that is losing your job. I don't love the idea but some comments are too far.

ColorStorm:
but your concern isn't that he said it, per se, but that he apparently has those urges. you think firing him will make him not have those urges?

BidenLadysMan:
My concern would be both, that he has those urges and that he said it. Nothing can help whatever he's going through. Maybe losing his job will wake him up 2 it.

BidenLadysMan:
Hitting rock bottom. You can't help ppl who don't want to be helped and giving him a relatively light punishment only enables him imo

ColorStorm:
IMO firing him won't do anything to remove his urge, and he hasn't actually done anything so he shouldn't be punished

BidenLadysMan:
Again I'm not married completely to either side of it. But he said something hurtful about someone, that others have gone through It just doesn't seem right.

BidenLadysMan:
I will say I'm tired of ppl saying hurtful things and ne et getting punished for it. That's why online bullying is so rampant.

BidenLadysMan:
*not*

BidenLadysMan:
Right he was, and still is.

idk

Andy:
Is that sexism against men or women? ...maybe both?

Andy:
I agree - some of my male friends have a really hard time getting into entry retail jobs, which sucks. But it also sucks to play that role of 'pretty woman'.

Andy:
Curious, did they provide the make up, or expect the women to pay for it. In my mind if its part of the uniform, then work should provide it.

BidenLadysMan:
It's actually odd to see a republican going after "Big Business" for ppl who think capitalism is the solution to all things

Kate:
How come we can have a feeling of being attached to places we never before saw and keep the attachment and feeling for the rest of our life? For me it was my visit to Ireland and to a lesser degree my visits to Scotland.

ColorStorm:
Probably the same way we can meet a person and feel like we've known them out entire lives. The person/place just resonates with our soul..which makes sense when you consider that everything is connected. It's all one interweaving tapestry. And maybe past lives (and/or future lives?) factor into that too sometimes, e.g. maybe you've spent past lives in those countries..

Kate:
Maybe I've really spent past lives there, or one of my ancestors was in love with a fairy queen.

I often meet people with the stance that everything can be bought or sold and they are convinced everything is a commodity.

Have you ever been in a food fight? Did you partake/run and hide/keep eating? Tell me about it.

ColorStorm:
In junior high there was a food fight between two tables, one grade and another. Of course I, being clueless and without finesse, got caught throwing food. My punishment was I had to mop. And, of course, I, lacking social sense, said, "they were throwing food too!" so everyone got in trouble. I also mopped the tops of the tables with the mop, which made the other students mad, because I've never had any clue what's normal/acceptable behavior... anyway due to my tattling I got teased for a week or two for not having any balls.

in most of them life is a lot like on Earth except ideal. people don't age, their bodies are perfect, there's no night time, you may be able to see sounds,

ColorStorm:
it's much more spiritual/you get psychic impressions from everything around you,

ColorStorm:
you're reunited with your loved ones,

ColorStorm:
when you look at e.g. a flower, it doesn't just look like a thing, you can see how it's a profoundly beautiful living being

Is it better to be alone in life than being surrender by halfass people?

ColorStorm:
Idk, depends on how bad they are. I assumed by "halfass" you meant people who don't care that much, in which case it's better to be with them than alone. But in a reply you said it means assholes.. if they're bad enough, maybe being alone is better, but being alone is truly awful, so less-than-ideal company is better. Maybe not for some people. I guess some beasts are fine being alone. Also, even if it's worth it to be with assholes, it's probably worth it to be alone for a while now and then to regain your composure and perspective.

How can you lose one million calories a day ?

ColorStorm:
That's a thousand kilocalories (what we commonly call calories in food), and intense body trainers and such have to eat several thousand kilocalories a day, so it's doable...just do extreme physical exertion.

Saater:
Guinness world record is 32 big mac and that won't cover 10 k cal , so you probably miscalculated alot lol

Saater:
One million calories equals a 111kg of fat

ColorStorm:
daily input is about 2000 kcal for an average adult, so it shouldn't be too hard to lose half that

Saater:
Google isn't accurate about numbers, so really you have to take info from books or so, a big mac equals 250 calories, or 1/4 kcal, 2000 kcal can move mountain

ColorStorm:
i think they actually mean 250 kcals

ColorStorm:
people say calories when they mean kcals

Saater:
Search for snickers calorie or egg or anything, you'll get the real amount.

Saater:
1 kcal equals 1000 cal, as a physics class graduate I can assure you that

What do you associate with the equation E=mc^2?

ColorStorm:
Matter, energy, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, atom bombs, stars, anti-matter, Einstein, physics, an image I have somewhere of particles coming into existence from energy, an argument I once had about whether E=mc^2 means matter can be *converted* into energy or matter *is* energy, etc.

Wieselmann:
Would you say matter is energy or can they be converted into each other?

ColorStorm:
I think matter is energy. If it were merely conversion, you wouldn't be able to derive E=mc^2 from first principles, since "=" is a timeless relation. It

ColorStorm:
would've been something more like E←mc^2, like in chemistry

ColorStorm:
(not that i'm implying it would have to be a chemical reaction per se)

Wieselmann:
Lately i often have to think about that most of our mass comes from the kinetic energy of the gluons and quarks in our body

Wieselmann:
It's fun to think about

ColorStorm:
what brings you to having to think about that?

ColorStorm:
oh, the fun of it? ok =]

Wieselmann:
I've heard it in a physics video on youtube and since then this thought often pops up in my mind

ColorStorm:
I wonder if the mass of the particles themselves (quarks, gluons, and other subatomic particles) is also due to kinetic energy of motion within the particles

ColorStorm:
maybe at the lowest level it's all kinetic energy of a type of particle that has zero rest mass (so they owe their existence to their motion), like photons

Wieselmann:
As far as i know the current theory is that subatomic particles get their mass from their interaction with the Higgs-field

which programming language would you recommend to learn? just a single one and maybe why?

ColorStorm:
Python is my favorite programming language. It seems like Guido made the right decisions at every turn. (I know nowadays Guido doesn't call the shots anymore. I guess they're still doing a good job?) It's elegant/reads well and is powerful yet (sort of, in a way, or once was) simple. And has lots of modules for it like someone else said. And best matches how people actually think about programs, like another person said. And is the main language used for machine learning, not that I use it for that. And it's pretty good at being cross-platform.

Templar:
It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone.

ColorStorm:
Eventually the entire system/being changes enough that the wound no longer exists. Not that it's healed, it just becomes water under the bridge. The patterns in the person's substance comprising the wound change/evolve to the degree that it no longer makes sense to consider it as a wound.

Templar:
Does that work for emotional wounds ?

ColorStorm:
Yes, everything. The only constant is change; everything changes completely eventually. (Not necessarily in this life)

My emotional wound s wont heal

Our common fish ancestor that lived 50 million years before the tetrapod first came ashore already carried the genetic codes for limb-like forms and air breathing needed for landing. So did humans evolve from a fish like common ancestor ?

ColorStorm:
[citation needed] I believe we evolved from fish (or a fish-like common ancestor? Idk. Some fishes are way older than 50 million years..). Vestigial gills before we're born, phylogeny recapitulates ontogeny, preauricular pits, the fact that the water in the womb has the same salinity as ocean water, the general scientific consensus, the naturalness of biological evolution as the origin of species vs. the absurdity of creationism, maybe DNA results? (i'd be surprised if we're not known to contain ancient fish or fish-like DNA), etc.

Honest thoughts about cheese and favorite type of cheese?

ColorStorm:
My thoughts are 1, I was reading an article the other day that was explaining that consuming dairy products causes cancer, and 2, it's inhumane because of the way the machines roughly milk the cows constantly, the way they keep them constantly lactating by making them give birth and taking their calves away, causing much emotional pain, over and over again, the way the cows are kept confined in stalls where they can barely move, etc. My favorite cheeses are parmesan, Swiss, smoked gouda, pepperjack, chipotle gouda, etc.

Evening, but not too late. I just like the energy and the weather of evening. But when it's actually getting dark it's depressing. I also sometimes like the early morning, it's just nice to have the sun back out. But not when I'm aware of the morning energy of humans at large. "I used to think that the day would never come / I'd see the the light in the shade of the morning sun / my morning sun is the drug that brings me near / to the childhood I lost, replaced by fear / I used to think that the day would never come / that my life would depend on the morning sun"

I like very few entire albums--most of what I like is just individual songs, and the other songs on the same albums usually sound like crap to me. I could say my favorite albums are the ones that happen to have my favorite songs, because of *only* those songs, but I guess that would be cheating. Out of the ~7 albums I wholly like (not including all Astral Projection albums which pretty much sound the same, and I kinda got tired of them anyway), my favorite is probably Love Death Immortality by The Glitch Mob. I could probably also go for "The Best of Enya" or something, not sure exactly what songs an album like that has on it.

ColorStorm:
It's a good idea fundamentally, but it's not perfect. The articles tend to be biased toward scientism and the establishment. For example you'd never expect to read the article on Aspartame and see anything than that it's completely safe, because corporations have a vested interest in how it's perceived. Also you'd never expect to see an article that verifies and validates something paranormal or parapsychological, despite such things happening all the time, because midwits would see such a thing as an embarrassment.

Why do many or most people feel that the book is always better than the movie?

ColorStorm:
You have to take a lot out of a book--background, context, characters, stories, etc.--to make a movie.. you probably also have to dumb it down and sensationalize it, because the average book reader and the average moviegoer are probably two different crowds.. and the big screen/tv screen seems inherently a less cerebral medium; there has to be entertainment every second.

I should have said something like, "don't patronize me, either answer the question or don't," or at least, "well I don't know where you're going to put it," but instead I just stood there and then said, "put drinks on it I guess" like an idiot, because it's hard to think of the right response in the moment, but also because I feel dirty ruining someone's mood. Then she told me what she was going to do with it (which didn't involve moving it at all), and I thought of saying something like, "well the 'cart' part of it implies that it has wheels..", but I looked at it and it had wheels, so I didn't say anything. Later I realized I should have said, "well the 'cart' part of it implies you're going to move it, that's why I didn't know what you were going to do with it".. she's always treating me and my mom like we're idiots, but I never know how to respond or I'd feel ugly ruining someone's mood. Not that that's even the biggest problem with my not having any backbone whatsoever.. the bigger problem is I'm unable to work.

Wieselmann:
What is logic?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, I guess it's a set of relational (relational between concepts) patterns that must always hold true in semantic thought for the integrity of the system of thought to retain. I don't think it's an aspect of the universe, or objective reality, because if it were, then it should be conceivably possible for reality to instead not exhibit this characteristic, and it's not. There's no situation you can conceivably observe that's, in itself, illogical. Think about it. If you disagree, give me an example. So that points to logic being something solely in the mind. I wrote more about the nature of logic in my blog, but I don't remember what I said. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/04/13/notes-on-science-scientism-mysticism-religion-logic-physicalism-skepticism-etc/#Logic

Is superstition related to how people believe in fake information?

ColorStorm:
Maybe for some people, but I think maybe a lot of people who fall for fake information would still think superstition is illogical, because society teaches us that any take on phenomena that's anything other than wholly mechanical or that indicates any interesting link between mind/consciousness and the world is illogical, and many, many people fall for it.

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I don't have a good memory, but I remember one time my wallet was missing, I was looking all over for it, and my sister was concerned because it was a problem if I'm missing my wallet because her then boyfriend was a known thief and he'd sometimes come in the house, but fortunately I found it.. it was underneath something random for no apparent reason that IIRC was just a little bit bigger than the wallet. It's a good thing I happened to look under that thing, out of all the million things in our house (we live in a big house of hoarders:p)

Do you think fishing is unethical?

ColorStorm:
Tough call. It's causing pain to and killing the fish, and it's not strictly necessary (we can be vegans), but on the other hand dog eat dog seems to be the way of the natural world. Those fish could be eaten by other animals if we don't eat them. Or they'd die of old age, which may not be any more pleasant a way to die. I have the feeling I'm hardened wrt the question of whether fishing is unethical because eating animals is so normal in this world. It's drilled into our heads. But just because "nature does it too" doesn't ultimately mean it's not evil. Either way, it's evil that a person can fish "to relax" or to have a good time instead of feeling anything but remorse for the fate of the fish he kills. There's also catch-and-release, but that's clearly unethical because it's painful, terrifying, damaging, and actually dangerous for the fish and it's not even for sustenance, it's for no reason but "fun."

Do you think a more extensive security camera network should be installed in big cities? Cameras everywhere. Can't go 3 feet without a camera watching you.

ColorStorm:
As much as it feels like maybe walking right into 1984, I'd say yes. It helps keep criminals accountable, it maybe acts as a deterrent for crime, and I doubt there are any realistic negative sides to the surveillance. I do worry that surveillance allows the government to be more totalitarian when it comes to enforcing laws that I consider unjust, but I think that would happen to a minimum in the case of cameras. (I'm a lot more against it in the case of phone and online surveillance.) More than neighborhood cameras, I really think we need to come down harder on requiring police to wear body cams at all times. I think they should *all* be required to wear one, and if a police officer gets accused of something they did while their body camera was turned off, they should automatically be assumed guilty.

Kinda tyrannical, but I guess they have their reasons. They've probably had a lot of problems with people being romantically involved who work together. Sucks for those who get romantically involved though. Also, isn't it pretty common for companies to forbid romantic relationships between employees, at least in the same office or whatever? idk.

Only I used much more dramatic phrasing than that. I said we need to be stamped out for the cancer that we are, or something like that. It triggered tons of people. Most of them implied that I should "go first," i.e. kill myself, even though I didn't suggest killing anyone. One person said I was dramatic but functionally illiterate.

If you only want to donate to people who are working to change the world, that's fine, that's your prerogative, maybe it's even a good idea, but it doesn't make retrospring bums.

messed up story. a pregnant woman in Canada. She going to have a sonogram, everyone is masked except her. They say could you put on a mask. She says well I've been vaxxed, so i really don't want to. They say we're going to have to ask you to leave. They kicked a pregnant woman out of a doctor's office because she didn't want to wear a mask. The thing is in Canada they have universal Healthcare so she's on a list now for being a difficult patient. She can't get an appointment to take care of her unborn baby😒

ColorStorm:
It's her own fault, putting on a mask for the protection of others isn't hard.

BidenLadysMan:
But it doesn't protect anyone from anything but boogers.. you need a very specific kind of mask to block covid. Even most doctors don't wear the right ones

ColorStorm:
I don't know if that's true - maybe a normal mask doesn't *completely* block it, but it blocks spit particles from spraying everywhere which can spread covid

BidenLadysMan:
Barely even does that tbh. If you look at most masks it has gapping holes on the sides and if you have facial hair it blocks even less.

How important is it to you to purchase name brand items vs generic or store brand items?

ColorStorm:
I don't go for brand names at all when it comes to fashion and style (unless I just happen to like how some product looks that's by a brand name), I think paying extra just to look like what's "in" (or even paying the same but not treading your own path) is shallow/superficial and conformist. As for non-style related things, I tend to gravitate toward brand names because they're more reliable. Generic brands tend to be cheaper, and you tend to get what you pay for. And they tend to hide behind their anonymity/lack of reputation to be able to sell crappy products.

Anyway, Apple is totally a cult and their operating systems are inferior.

But the hardware is superior.

ColorStorm:
Maybe, but hardware is good enough nowadays that even less-than-superlative hardware is more than sufficient. And Apple is overpriced, isn't it? And I'd much rather have a superior user experience than superior hardware. When using an iPhone, I had to Google how to do the simplest of things--basically every little thing I attempted. And MacOS is much cruder, more buggy, and less featureful/full-fledged than Windows, and it also has fewer and lower-quality apps available due to its lower popularity.

I got down to it and stood on it, even though my dad had told us not to, because he was just a PoS bully and I couldn't imagine him actually ordering me around for a good reason, and I slipped and fell flat. I could've fallen into the rapids. Later my mom told me that my dad had instructed us not to go there because he did and he slipped, too.

I guess so. I don't remember when or how my view changed, so I don't know if there was any particular pivotal moment, but when I was younger I was a Republican. That's what I was when I registered to vote. I was still registered as a Republican for like 20 years until I finally bothered to change it. (I'm very leftist now, like Democratic Socialist leftist.)

ColorStorm:
I used to have a reflexive distrust of the government and thought that it should be kept as small as possible.

BidenLadysMan:
I went similar ways except even more so. I went from republican to democrat to more moderate. The culture war snapped me right out of being a leftist. And how they treated their own for disagreeing. That was my pivotal point. But I see possibilities on both sides.

ColorStorm:
I don't really care about the problems of the leftist culture, I don't have to embody their issues to be essentially a leftist just for reasons of compassion,,

BidenLadysMan:
Sometimes the left is not thw most compassionate, not anymore. It depends on who and what is in need of compassion..

What did you invest in?

ColorStorm:
I invested in stocks once. I put $250 into 3m and $250 into liquid metal (lqmt). I still have the 3m stock, which turned into Coach, which last I checked was doing well, and I still have the lqmt though it turned into a penny stock a long time ago. Or rather, my mom has them, as I switched the account over to her name a few years ago for reasons related to my welfare.

Andy:
Would you rather be poor at a job you adore or be rich at a job you hate?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, if I don't work at a job I adore, there may be nothing fulfilling in my life at all. And being rich is overrated. And, in reality, working would be hard enough for me if I adored the job, it may be impossible if I hated it, depending on why I hated it. So maybe the former. On the other hand, being rich gets you the p\*ssy. But on the other hand again, I'd be too shy to get the p\*ssy even if I were rich.

Andy:
...how many hands do you posses, sir!?

Who would you consider the WORST movie character of all time? (Define 'worst' however you like) https://i.imgur.com/lIFdZmt.png

ColorStorm:
I define the worst to be the most unpleasant for me, so anything played by Chuck Norris because he's the worst actor out of all the actors who are famous. Or any of the characters in The Usual Suspects because they were so evil I couldn't stomach it and didn't even finish the movie (I've only quit watching two movies out of all the movies I've watched; the other was Gummo). Or maybe Marcy Dawson from Pi: "You don't understand it, do you? I don't give a shit about you! I only care about what's in your fucking head!", that was the most bleak movie I've ever seen, and my least favorite of all the ones I've actually finished. And that's the statement that stood out to me the most from it.

Andy:
Is society becoming more or less pleasant in your eyes? (Please explain your answer)

ColorStorm:
Less. People are less healthy and more obese; companies are getting better and better at hacking our brains to get us to buy their crap; products have lower quality; we have people policing words and canceling people for unimportant reasons; the current generation is finding it impossible to afford a living; people are more politically divided than ever; the disparity between the rich and the poor is increasing; companies are gaining more and more control over government and regulation; the news is no longer expected to tell the truth; society has eroded enough and people are becoming fascist enough that it's actually possible for someone like Trump to become President; people have lost their minds regarding gender; pretending it's meaningless and trying to abolish it; it's one crisis after another these days; we're destroying the biosphere mare and more at an exponential rate and won't stop until civilization collapses, which will probably be relatively soon, so there's that to worry about

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and depression is on the rise.

[2023-05-27]

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's possible to investigate subjective, conscience experiences scientifically?

ColorStorm:
They *kind of* do, but not exactly. You can tell a lot about a person's conscious experience just by observing what they do or say/how they react, and then you can correlate that with information about what's going inside the brain...but to directly measure consciousness and conscious states? I don't know. I think there's more to consciousness than brain processes, so science would have to come up with a whole different way of measuring to measure the incorporeal, if it's even possible to scientifically measure, which it probably isn't because it's non-mechanistic, holistic, cosmic, non-physical, etc. Even if consciousness/conscious states are actually in principle totally inferable from brain states (which still doesn't necessarily imply that they are *only* brain states, just that they're reflected in brain states), science may never figure out exactly how it works. Especially since they're coming from the deep-seated assumption that consciousness is *emergent from* brain processes solely.

What book would you not be willing to publicly burn?

ColorStorm:
I'd burn any book publicly if the price/incentive is right. Even if it's a book I really like, drawing attention to it would probably just make it more popular. If there's no incentive, then I wouldn't publicly burn almost all books there are.

Well another patient was nearly dropped by a another female emt worker here at the nursing home 🙄there is alot of jobs women are. Like, making babies, cleaning potatoes.. doing dishes 🤣🤣 I'm kidding, I'm kidding (mostly😝) truthfully all my doctors currently are female. And they are very smart. But the physical aspect of being an EMT worker they can't do. I see it all the time. 2 women especially. Can't do it. We're sacrificing safety to have gender equity somebody is going to get killed here

ColorStorm:
I agree, it's fucking stupid to have women as EMT or firefighters (unless they're unusually strong women), not because of sexism but just because of the practical physical concern of strength. Wokeism is so stupid it defies reason.

Tell me about your most recent internet crush.

ColorStorm:
she grew up believing in a lot of things along the lines of fairies, leprechauns, things that are bad and good luck to do, etc., and probably still does. she seems to have a good and vibrant life living with her best friend, who's also a girl she's cute and has an hourglass figure. she has black or dark brown hair. I have this seemingly psychic sense that our souls are very compatible, not for any of the reasons I've said above, but for indescribable reasons she lives very far away She DM'd me out of the blue, so maybe she senses the same thing. or maybe it's because I clicked like on so many of her and her best friend's posts. she tends to like art I don't particularly like (especially involving the color pink), but she also liked the art I sent her that I do like.

ColorStorm:
\*checks\* her hair is brown. also she's 5'1" and has dark brown eyes.

arman:
[I think I asked this on Modernspring or the old Retrospring] Why is the frequency of hearing insults involving one's mother higher than those involving one's father?

ColorStorm:
Idk, maybe because you have a more direct connection to your mother than to your father (you came out of her), maybe because mothers/women are more soft and delicate so an insult against them seems more damaging, maybe because mothers are more nurturing than fathers so you have a stronger childhood connection to the mother in that sense, too.

arman:
I'm not sure but I think I also asked you whether my question was grammatically correct. I know the question weirdly worded but can you check if it has any grammatical mistakes?!

Do you like subtitles in film/games/tv?

ColorStorm:
I don't go out of my way to enable them (unless the audio is in a different language), but when they're there I tend to find myself reading along at the same time as listening, it makes it easier to process for some reason, but sometimes I think I shouldn't because it's a crutch. I prefer subtitles over dubbing for foreign films. Unless it's anime.

Kate:
Asked my female friend for a tampon. Male friend in deep thought: What do you do when you have to pee? We girls busting out in laughter. You know the answer?

ColorStorm:
Different hole?

Kate:
Exactly. Urethra is where the pee comes from and the tampon is placed inside the vagina. That opening is a bit below from where the pee is coming from. A male body has a common opening for semen and pee, so we women have the luxury of a separate exit/entrance.

Kate:
It is a bit a shame that many men hardly know their own body let alone that of women.

English question: how to distinguish whether someone is saying "I scream" or "ice cream"?

ColorStorm:
With "I scream," the emphasis is on the "scream" part. With "ice cream," the emphasis is on the "ice" part. Of course, it would be rare that you'd have to go by that; the context would almost always make it apparent.

Do you have a pet? Do you see you matching to it? Does it get similar to you?

ColorStorm:
My cat is afraid to go out of my room, and I'm afraid to go out in life, so....maybe?

Kate:
Yes, maybe?

ColorStorm:
I used to have three cats in my room. Two of them were afraid to leave the room. Then I had only the two cats that were afraid to leave. Right now I only have one.

Kate:
They ended their life due to natural causes or did they end due to fear?

ColorStorm:
they're still alive, they're just not in my room anymore. :DF

Kate:
Ah! So what did lure them out to overcome their fear?

ColorStorm:
one of them already wasn't afraid to come out (2 were afraid to come out, i had 3), the other was desperate to get out starting with a flea infestation, right now she's staying in the bathroom =4

I think I see it when it happens, though I tend to be attracted to people with little or no dumbness or evil. (Except for people I'm merely physically attracted to.) When it happens, if it's minor, I just forgive the for it / overlook it; if it's major, it makes me less attracted to them.

Arugula, candied pecans, pears, and Girard’s champagne dressing In a salad is one of my favorites.

Have you got some plot ideas for weird movies? Me: everyone must tell the truth or the plane crashes

ColorStorm:
I have a plot idea for a book, which alternatively could be a movie. In the future, on a ridiculously fast computer, people are simulated as they watch every possible movie--every possible combination of bits--and the good feelings generated by their brains are measured, and the movie is found that creates the most good feelings in the average brain as possible, and it's released. People become addicted to it and watch it over and over again, so much so that they don't even go to work anymore, and society starts to crumble. I don't know what happens after that.

Is this a new Dalai Lama, or the same one it's been for a bunch of years? And how sure are we that this really happened? And that it wasn't misinterpreted, taken out of context, etc? I think it's probably possible to be a legit enlightened mentor and also have some kinks.

Andy:

ColorStorm:
That's funny and freaky.

ColorStorm:
I think if he actually got anything erotic out of that he would probably be aware of how it would be perceived and probably wouldn't do it in public.

ColorStorm:
Or maybe it's all the same to him, erotic w/ a kid is just as innocent as anything else, because he's enlightened.

Andy:
I don't know how he behaves in front of other children but its an uncomfortable watch for me. I wouldn't let him near my kids after seeing that.

I've never been to a concert and normally never see a point in going to one, but if it's front-row.. I guess there's a chance the artist would notice me! But I don't know if there's a point to that either since I'm old and not that attractive. But, since I'm hopelessly optimistic, umm.. maybe Avril Lavigne, maybe Miley Cyrus, maybe Suzanne Vega (she's too old for me to have a crush on her, but she means a lot to me). Or anyone who's pretty, Marina Diamandis, Lane Del Ray, Paramore, Tessa Violet, or this really pretty chick with white hair that I can't remember the name of. Oh, I'd say Miranda Cosgrove first, but I don't think she's doing music anymore.

Have you ever successfully cut your own hair? I mean any shape beyond that after suffering from an explosion can be assumed to be a success as long as there is no blood.

ColorStorm:
I *always* cut my own hair. I cut it with a trimmer with an extension on it to make it cut longer, and it also has a vacuum on it to collect the hair. I've been cutting it myself for many years, ever since the last time I went to a hair cutting place, SuperCuts, when I was a kid... I noticed a comb or something in a jar of liquid getting sterilized, and only part of it was in the liquid, and I thought, somebody could get an infestation because of that! It could be me! Then not too long after the hair cut I started noticing an infestation of large, nasty-looking bugs in my hair. My hair always itched and every time I showered there would be dead ones on the shower floor. I never told anyone, because I had long hair and I didn't want it to be cut off. So I just got rid of them myself using Nix (lice killer) and special shampoo, either Tea Tree shampoo or Head & Shoulders.

What do you make of this theory: The earthquake in Turkey was actually a rocket of the HARPS defence system hitting a gas pipeline, so the US is to blame in their greed to attack Russia. - I do not know where to start. This is so sick on so many levels. A characteristic of the fundamental insanity of such theories.

ColorStorm:
I'm not a geologist, but I have a really hard time imagining an oil pipeline causing an earthquake.

Kate:
People have no clue about the amount of energy relased by an earthquake. The affected area in Turkey and Syria is almost half the size of Germany. To cover that area and cause the same amount of devastation is worth several atomic bombs of energy.

Are you willing to sacrifice your dignity and put ketchup on a steak, wear damp socks and sleep on a mattress with one itchy blanket? Would you do all that if it meant having a free Klondike bar a day?

ColorStorm:
I can't *stand* wearing damp socks. I wouldn't sleep with an itchy blanket either. Neither of those things has anything to do with dignity. I'm not sure if putting ketchup on steak would make it better or worse, but that does seem to be socially frowned upon. Anyway, I wouldn't do any of those things for a Klondike bar.

The Dark Chocolate Decadence Chocolixir from the Godiva store is pretty good too. I also like the Defense Up by Evolution from Starbucks and the Mighty Mango by Naked Juice. And Simply Limeade by Simply Beverages. And orange juice not from concentrate. And some alcoholic beverages like cinnamon Schnapps.

AGR:
A nice list

[https://youtu.be/S80BYr8PM_w?t=15] What would you do if someone asked you, out of the blue, to have a dance with them? Also, how often are you reminded of the Second Coming?!

ColorStorm:
It depends on how attractive they are. I might say shyly, "I don't dance." And if I did dance, I'd look like an idiot because I have no idea how to dance. Maybe a slow dance I could do. And that would be preferable, more likely to lead to something else. I'm reminded of the second coming maybe once every few months at most. Not that I believe in it, of course.

I wear tie-dye shoes and a tie-dye hat, but my pants and shirt can be anything, usually colorful but usually not tie-dye. Right now my pants have a galaxy print and my shirt has various colors of lightning overlaid on top of each other.

LaDamaX:
Are you generally attracted to bright prints? I remember you saying something about the print/colors on wrapping paper that you were purchasing or wanted.

ColorStorm:
Hmm, I don't know, hard to say. I like cool, colorful designs, and I don't like subdued colors. But for example the pants I'm wearing now are mostly black (with lots of bright spots) and the shirt I was wearing when I answered that question was mostly black. Right now the shirt I'm wearing is overall dark grey, made of two shades of grey like TV static.

Trump might go down for banging a whore. If that was a crime I'd be AL Capone by now🤣 as much id love to see the orange goon go down for this.. these are bullshit charges. I mean come on. These are barely misdemeanors. And they're brought in by D.A Bragg who DOWNGRADES felonies to misdemeanors here in NY. He's baby shit soft on crime. There are murderers who get out of jail here in NY. His wife worked for the Biden camp, come on dude. Libs are taking the biggest risk here. If Trump beats this it's over. He'll be unstoppable.

ColorStorm:
I think I heard he's being indicted with 20-something different charges, so not just the sex scandal? Not sure why the only thing we hear about is the sex scandal.

BidenLadysMan:
Eh sex sells. The election fraud in Georgia seems far more serious. I've always thought neither side is to eager to expose election fraud. Because both sides love committing election fraud. To expose one, could expose them all.

ColorStorm:
I get the impression that the GOP is much more into election fraud / voter suppression than the dems, which makes sense because they're in the minority so the only way they can have power is through gerrymandering, etc. also because they're more full of angry conviction and more corrupt. I guess it's possible that the dems are equally into election fraud and I just live in an echo chamber =P

BidenLadysMan:
Fair enough. Not to open another can of worms. But democrat controlled states locking down everything during the outbreak so people couldn't go out and vote, is voter suppression😏 was Trump screwed in 2020? In my opinion, yes I believe so. Was he screwed the way he and his followers think he was? No, it was far more machiavellian scheme. It was beautifully executed. I sincerely give dems all the praise in the world it was very clever..

I don't know if I'm brave. I've done extremely brave things in the past, but in general I'm not brave enough to overcome my shyness and make it. Bravery means doing something you're afraid of (that you deem isn't actually objectively stupid) because you know it's important. It may even be / especially if it's something risky/dangerous but it's about something important enough to take the risk. I guess the bravest thing you can do is give your life for a person in danger, or a cause or whatever.

What Ed Hunter said. Also, I think the conservative backlash would be *much* greater than the Jan 6 riot.

Hopefully higher-ups in the military wouldn't turn against the government.

It also says to condemn nothing and nobody. (Actual question, not rhetorical): How exactly are we supposed to regard evil if not to condemn it?" If you want an answer about a "real" field, though, I would ask Zizek if he knew he was being funny when he said this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5yoqjABeBM&ab_channel=TheRadicalRevolution Or I would ask, umm, John Carmack or Jon Blow or someone if learning Rust is as easy as learning (non-expert level) C++.

She gave the minimum effort to get through it. The only words she didn't lip sync that night was where's my check?🙄 But then I heard she was pregnant. Which begs the question should they pay her millions of dollars and she's unable to perform appropriately?

It *raises* the question. To beg the question means something completely different. It's basically to make a circular argument. Everyone gets this wrong, even in documentaries. Sigh.

It'd be a waste to throw it away if it just needs the screen replaced. You should save the money to replace it, then sell it (assuming you have a new phone already). Or maybe you could just sell it with the broken screen on eBay, assure it works otherwise, maybe somebody will consider it worth it to buy it and then fix the screen?

The current price of that phone in the used market is cheaper than the screen replacement

Wieselmann:
The earth's core has stopped spinning. Is that something you worry about?

ColorStorm:
Is this a hypothetical, or something real? It seems unlikely. And I think we'd no longer have a planetary magnetic field, so we'd no longer be protected from particles, and it'd probably be a mass extinction (besides the anthroposcene mass extinction already going on).

Wieselmann:
it's real

ColorStorm:
that's the exact same article i'd fond

ColorStorm:
found*

ColorStorm:
I don't know a lot about this, but IIRC it's the rotation of the earth's core (molten iron, IIRC?) that creates the earth's magnetic field, and the earth's magnetic field redirects a lot of harmful solar particles from reaching us. But, on the other hand, the article says it stops and changes direction like this every 70 years, and AFAIK we haven't noticed any significant effect on life every 70 years. Maybe it doesn't stop for long enough.

ColorStorm:
A weird thing is that, if it changes direction, it should reverse the north and south poles, but that supposedly only happens once every .. I think, few hundred thousand years. So something may be off with this article. It wouldn't be anything unusual for a non-technical article about a science topic to get it totally wrong.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "daily basis." If you mean what all my days have in common, I might want to discuss that, but it might depress me. If you mean discuss what happened each day on that day, I think that would just feel tedious.

LaDamaX:
Out of curiosity, why pee specifically? What is it about golden showers that turns people on?

ColorStorm:
I don't know exactly, I've always been this way. I remember when I was in elementary school I had a dream that my mouth was at the bottom of a huge funnel-shaped room and all the girls were sitting against the sides up the wall and peeing and it was all going down into my mouth.

ColorStorm:
I have a few theories.

ColorStorm:
1. Peeing is a pleasant release, so having them pee on me is like allowing them that pleasant relief, which pleases me. And of course the pleasure is a little bit sexual because of where it is and where it comes out of. Or at least it's just kinky.

ColorStorm:
2. It's sexy af because of where it comes out of, and of course gushing water is like abundant nourishment. So it's like being blessed with abundant, nourishing, kinky sex all over you.

ColorStorm:
3. The pee is warm and has been made by and has been stored in and comes out of the person's body, so it's full of their energy. And because of where it is and where it comes out of, I imagine that energy to be sexually charged, too. I want their sexual liquid energy all over me.

ColorStorm:
(I say "theories" like only one of them can be picked, but I think they're probably all true/contributing factors. Not sure if there are other factors I'm not aware of.)

What about people who have to eat meat due to health reasons? Not everyone can sustain a vegan lifestyle. I know I definitely couldn’t.

ColorStorm:
I think purchasing meat/dairy only from companies that farm in an ethical manner is okay (if you have some way of knowing they really do)

ColorStorm:
And if you have to eat meat for health reasons, I guess go ahead. I didn't know there are people who are like that

ColorStorm:
But neither of those exceptional cases means vegans shouldn't preach veganism to people in general

LaDamaX:
I have no problem with informing, but “preaching” sounds more like someone is pushing their agenda in an aggressive manner and I immediately shut down and stop listening

LaDamaX:
I guess you could say it’s triggering for me.

ColorStorm:
How would you feel about someone pre-civil-war era preaching that we shouldn't have slaves?L

LaDamaX:
I’d have to go back and ask pre-civil war era me. 🙄

Wieselmann:
Is god non-binary?

ColorStorm:
God is as much a He as God is a She, but does that mean God is both a He and a She, or neither a He nor a She, or something in between them? I think God probably both embeds and transcends all polarities, and m/f is an important, universal one, so the answer is probably that God is both a He and a She and more. Does that make God non-binary? He still contains the binary essences of man and woman, but he's not limited to choosing one, so which is it?

ColorStorm:
A side note: God can probably be alternately a He or a She, or at least more masculine or more feminine, depending on the situation. Not that God morphs from one to the other, but that a perception of God is probably a limited and contextual one.

Is attachment a good thing?

ColorStorm:
The Buddhists say no, but religion tends to produce a lot of absolutisms. I think attachment is probably a double-edged sword. It can bring pleasure, maybe even fulfillment (especially with attachment to an individual, as they "complete you"), but then when that thing goes away you suffer. You probably also kind of lose yourself, at least in some cases. I think attachment is a natural part of being human (and some other animals) in any case.

ColorStorm:
(It's conceivable that all the benefits I mentioned of attachment could be had without the attachment part)

ColorStorm:
i'm not sure

AGR:
I think it is possible without being attached to a person

Kate:
Was travelling with the Pais subway Métro. I took the wrong line. Like on any station worldwide the travel info by audio announcement was uncomprehensibly distored. We can fill big statiums with music and sound and opera and speeches and choirs. What is so difficult about stations then? Why does it in all languages sound like a herd of ducks quacking? Damn it!!

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, it could be that train stations have horrible acoustics because of their shape. Maybe there are possible measures to counteract that, but maybe it would be way too expensive to convince whoever directs money flow to invest that much in making the audio clearer. Music venues have a much larger incentive to sound good. Opera halls and other places where opera singers and choirs sing are pre-designed to have great acoustics, or even if they're not, they may not be shaped as bad as a train station.

Kate:

ColorStorm:
There are many supermodels that I don't find very attractive, but I don't know the names of them. The first person who comes to mind is Katy Perry. I honestly don't understand why she's considered to be beautiful. It must be the celebrity worship getting to people's heads.

LaDamaX:
I often wonder if we would meet them in person we’d consider them as attractive or is it because we only see them in print or in films that we see them as attractive?

Yeah, also they wear tons of makeup and their photos tend to be touched up by professionals.

Do you poop at work, public restrooms or other people’s homes? Or do you have a “i only poop at home” policy?

ColorStorm:
When you gotta p\*op, you gotta p\*op. I prefer to p\*op at home, but if I have to go in a public restroom I will. It's just more of a pain because I have to line the toilet seat with tissue, I gotta make sure my phone or wallet doesn't fall out of my pockets, sometimes the toilet randomly flushes while you're on it, or sucks up all the toilet tissue on the seat before you sit down. I guess I don't have much of a problem with p\*oping in someone else's home, though I don't remember when the last time I did it was. I guess p\*oping on the job is the same as p\*oping in a public restroom, because that's where you'll be p\*oping. Except for that one time I worked at a plant nursery and I didn't know if it would be appropriate to knock on the owner's door to ask him to use his bathroom, so I just p\*oped on the ground.

LaDamaX:
Pooped on the ground? 🤔

Yeah, where nobody could see me. It was like thick diarrhea.

Boy has got some guns on him.. Boy? What do toy think would happen if Trump or any republican refer to a black man as boy? The universe would implode..🤣

ColorStorm:
Because Republicans are typically racist and Democrats aren't, so the intention would likely be different.

BidenLadysMan:
But he called him Boy, 😅 He said Obama is the 1st clean black man, he said you can't walk into a 7 eleven without an Indian accent. These are racist things to say.. He can't slide because Republicans are typically racist.. barring there are black Republicans everywhere now

Go to your profile, to your questions or your answers (whichever one you're looking for), and keep clicking the button to load more, just hit the end key, click, hit the end key, click, etc., and every once in a while hit ctrl-f and enter a search term to see if it's on the page.

What’s something that you think I’d be really surprised to learn that you DISLIKE?

ColorStorm:
Massages. Wine (unless you already knew that). Beer maybe (unless you already knew that). I also dislike watching sports, but that may not surprise you. I also dislike horror movies, but I guess that's rather common. Oh, another one that may surprise you: there isn't a single FPS (first-person shooter) game that I like and never will be. Oh, one thing almost everyone likes that I don't like is cake. I just hate the dry, airy texture, and the only remotely good taste it has is simply sugar. There are some exceptions, some cakes I like, such as carrot cake, tiramisu, Chantilly, and ice cream cake. Oh, and another one that's unusual so it may surprise you, but maybe not because I've mentioned it before: getting drunk. It does nothing for me. It doesn't change how I think or feel, it just makes me dizzy.

LaDamaX:
I didn’t know any of those.

LaDamaX:
I don’t like most of those either, except for cake. I do like cake. Perhaps you haven’t had the right cake? I’ve not had dry cake. It’s always super moist. How about 3 leches cake? That’s not dry.

ColorStorm:
i had pepperidge farm cake once, it was super moist, and i liked it. most case isn't that moist, though.

ColorStorm:
oh, i like cuatro leches, i dont know ab out three leches, i'm not sure i've had it, i think i did once but i forgot what it was like

ColorStorm:
so, yeah, i forgot to mention cuatro leches

LaDamaX:
It’s the same. I guess Cubans add a 4th milk? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cuatro leche has a layer of dulce de leche on the top which I don't think three leche does.

I saw a trailer on Netflix of a new movie. Everyone is a racist stereotype in it EXCEPT the black folks. Jonah Hill plays a Jewish guy. With the mostJewish parents EVER.. and he's going to date a black woman.. and the shenanigans that happen.😱😱😱 in 2023!! WHAT A HOT TAKE!! Woke Hollywood you've done it again, such original content 👏👏 there's a moment in the trailer where Jonah's Jewish mother says to the black girl. How do you get your hair like that.. WTF!?Hollywood is the most pedo, racist organization that has ever existed, EVER, EVER. They will break their back trying to convince you otherwise.

ColorStorm:
Thinking that asking a black woman how she got her hair like that, or otherwise commenting on any objective feature that any race has, is racist, is too woke for my taste.

BidenLadysMan:
A movie like this, in the 80's. Would be getting out of date. Interracial couples are everywhere this is not a thing anymore.. soneone told me there's a scene in the movie where Jonah Hill is doing a podcast with a black girl who is a lesbian and she says. Black ppl can never forgive quite ppl for slavery . It's like if you cheat on your partner. Even if you make it work you can never forgive eachother. Then that's it. Civilization is over. That's it.

BidenLadysMan:
If you can't forgive something that happened a 100 yrs ago, that no black person alive today has ever been through and no white person alive today has ever participated in. In America anyway. Then it's over. That is what woke is. It's a war that never want to end

Ohhh Maybe that's it.. Maybe they care more about skin color than qualification...🤦🤦

Do you find doing the simple things helpful? Such as drinking your favourite drink, eating foods you enjoy, having a shower, cleaning your room, listening to music you like, creating stories, humming to a melody that comforts you. Doesn't have to be specific.

ColorStorm:
Sometimes when I'm feeling crappy af, drinking a Coke totally lifts my mood. Eating good food is something to live for, having nothing else. Having a shower is just a chore, even more so cleaning my room, but OTOH I guess a messy room can keep you depressed. Listening to music I like sort of complements the mood I'm in, or maybe reminds me of a mood, but usually doesn't quite change it. Though now and then I've listened to a song on repeat for up to two days because it was so good or because it really soothes me. I've only created two stories in my life, I'm not good at that. Humming a melody to comfort myself would feel neurotic to me.

The thing is the guy who I talked to was so into his job. And so happy. I felt bad at the end for canceling. Like I brought him down🤣 maybe it's me being emotionally disturbed (clearly😝) but I felt bummed after. He was a nice guy😭 I like people who enjoy their jobs. They take real pride in their work.

At the grocery today. There was a new cashier in training. He was cute so I decided to do the checkout with him. It was a simple purchase, no more than 6 items (I'm pretty broke rn). When he told me the total, he went back and scanned the toothpaste saying he forgot to do it. He then told me the new total and I proceeded to pay for it. Relatively cheap for what I bought. When I got home and looked at the receipt, however, I noticed he also forgot to weigh my tomatoes. Should I go back to pay for the tomatoes (and risk making him lose his new job) or keep quiet and hope no one noticed?

Keep quiet, it's not that important.

Is alcohol a net positive experience in life if you can drink it in moderation?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. I've read that *any* amount of alcohol is bad for your brain. Besides that, can you really be that fulfilled when you're in some kind of stupor? In one of Neale Donald Walsch's books, God says that, if you like to get drunk, you have very little will to live. But, even if that's true, maybe drinking is great for people who have very little will to live? And maybe being in a stupor is worth it if it makes you happy? Maybe in this God-forsaken world people need a little bit of escape?

Dragons?

ColorStorm:
I think they're aerodynamically impossible. I think their wings aren't big enough for them to fly, and that bothers me. On the other hand, our myths tend to be symbolic of higher truths, so maybe dragons exist in a more rarefied world surrounding or overlapping this one, like the astral realm or something.

nilsding:
The dragon, of course, flies anyway; because dragons don't care what humans think is impossible.

What decade’s fashion/glamour/poise do you appreciate the most? Why?

ColorStorm:
I miss the colorful shirts and pants and other things of the early 90s, maybe late 80s.

LaDamaX:
Remember those weird wrestler pants? They looked like a cross between pajamas and sweatpants and they had all these loud prints on them. And those Oakley sunglasses. 🤮

AGR:
Would you want to be anyone else?

ColorStorm:
Yes and no. I see some people and wish I had their happiness, their more meaningful life, their ability to get any chick they want, or their talents and abilities. On the other hand, if I were them, I would miss certain traits of being me. So much so that I would try to rebuild those traits in them because of a soul yearning, maybe or maybe not successfully. I might even start to feel that my life is meaningless because I don't have those important traits that are unique to me and my soul's desire. On the other hand again, I might like to live many, many lives, perhaps sequentially, or perhaps as tendrils off of one main essence or mind, including the lives of those people I envy. On the other other hand, maybe I already do. Maybe we all do. Maybe I am already them and they are me.

AGR:
We do influence each other one way or another. It's good you have that strength of self. With that you can make it through whatever you currently face. I learned that it all adds up, every bit of effort we put in. Even if it doesn't feel lile it.

Creation. Hi spider, we'll give you eight legs! - Wow so many... - ..and eight eyes too! - ..wait, oh so many, relax thats really like much too much.. - ..and there is rope coming from your butt in kilometers lengths .....

Evolution tends to create absurdities and atrocities on account of its being blind. On the other hand, aesthetic sense such as whether a spider is beautiful or awkward is relative.

Kate:
Entirely correct. But creationists....

LaDamaX:
Be honest… Do money and “things” impress you?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I think so. It doesn't make me think a person is a good or more worthy person, but something about the success impresses me. I know true success is more about fulfillment than money, but I guess I'm just programmed to appreciate financial wealth, or maybe it's because it's something I wish I had. As far as things, even though something like having a huge yacht or mansion might impress me, it's only because it signifies that the person has a lot of wealth...I actually think such things are a waste of money and labor, and I'm not interested in them anyway, so I wouldn't get them if I were rich.

If you were a teacher. And let's say you meet a pupil with a sack of weed. And you seize that sack of weed. And now what to do with it? Everybody wants it and offers money to you. To avoid being a drug dealer you have little options. 1. Sell it back to the pupil and make them the drug dealer. 2. Sell it yourself, be a drug dealer but take the money for charity. 3. Burn it while everybody runs around the bonfire inhaling. 1,2 or3?

Give it to the police.

[2023-04-08]

AGR:
What's a blessing in disguise?

ColorStorm:
Death

AGR:
I like to think death is for resting, life is for living until then. (Although there'll still be breaks in between)

ColorStorm:
I've read a lot about this, and I think we're much happier after death (maybe not everyone). It might be more peaceful (a lot more), but I don't think it's just rest. I think we tend to assocuate death with rest just because the physical body is so still and lifeless when it dies. That's misleading, because we are mote than our bodies.

ColorStorm:
mote=more

AGR:
Yeah I haven't updated my beliefs yet to match with being spiritual now. I've only been spiritual for about 2 years

fizzyarthur:
Mayor allows city staff and drivers to wear bermuda shorts due to extreme heat. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what Bermuda shorts are, but people should be allowed to wear whatever they want. Sure, we may prefer seeing professionals in professional attire, but to enforce any kind of dress code in any context is needlessly authoritarian. (Well, except for in entertainment where costumes are a part of the production.) People shouldn't even have to wear clothes in public if they don't want to. The fact that we forcibly imprison people for exposing their natural body parts is a sad testament to how sexually hung up society is.

fizzyarthur:
You yearn for a nudist world?

ColorStorm:
It's not about yearning for a nudist world, per se; if people want to wear clothes, that's fine. It's about the sickness of *mandating* that people wear clothes by force, or even certain kinds of clothes.

What is the hardest game you have ever played?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, Go is supposed to be really hard, but (like I mentioned before) I didn't find it hard. Reversi AKA Othello is hard, the came can completely turn around in two turns and it's hard to predict. Khet 2.0 is similarly hard. Chess is hard too, but, in my experience, not as unpredictable as those two.

Driving question: when driving down a straight, empty and relatively long sloping road, are you the kind of driver to keep your speed or shift up and let go of the brake pedal?

ColorStorm:
It's sad that you were looking at her admiringly and she thought you were judging her. She must get a lot of flack from other people. I think you should have told her the reason you were looking at her.

Kate:
Talking to a person is totally something different than looking for eye contact. Eye contact is preliminary.

What's your stance on sapphic romance, like e.g. the movie 'Imagine You and Me' ? Kitsch? Cute kissing girls a turn on for males? You'll never wear your plaid flannel shirt again?

ColorStorm:
I like to see cute girls kissing if they're really into it. If they're just doing it for the money, I'd feel like both they and I are being used.

Kate:
All movies or literature is "doing it for the money" ;)

Yeah, that's the one thing that makes me anxious about going out to eat - having to decide what I want by the time the waitress comes back. =P

Kate:
I've been in a little restaurant in Belgium and had to decide between two dishes but didn't fully understand all the ingredients and while I tried to remember how to translate those for myself I did stare a bit into the blue. That stare when you do not focus nor are aware what is in front of your face. That waitress was first a bit patient but then said: I'm sorry, yes my boobs are nice but not for sale, I give you a minute and come back later, yes?

Kate:
I felt so embarrassed and wanted to somehow correct that and when she came back I tried to explain that I had not focused on her cleavage. She said: Don't worry. I can now tell my husband that I did mesmerise a girl just by my cleavage the way I usually do with my bum according to him. Haha! Just a joke, now what di you want?

Kate:
When I left she went to the door holding the door open for me and smiled, waved goodbye and said: Please come back any time. I'm here every Monday and Thursday. All of Mary's blessings on you!

What is something you didn't know you needed until afterwards?

ColorStorm:
I got my first PC in about 1991 because I had used MS Paint on my aunt's computer in LA and I thought it was so cool. Then I ended up using PCs all the time to socialize with others since I'm too shy to do it in person. Without them I would have been bored to death all day at home after school every day. Also I never particularly wanted a smart phone, but then I got one (I think in 2010?) anyway for Christmas, and now I wouldn't want to go without one. I can use Google maps when we don't know where we're going, I can take pics without having to carry around a separate camera, I can use Twitter and such when I'm out and bored, I need it for a few sites for two-factor authentication, etc.

As a tribute I'm going to (eventually) play through the trilogy. Two things I noticed, I'm way better at this game than I use to be😁 and 2, Lara Croft is kind of a wimp tbh. You think in this "I am woman, hear me roar" BS today. They would have made her overpowered. But atleast in the 1st one. No. She quivers and shakes her way through the whole thing. Truthfully Lara Croft in the first games was a thrill seeking, alpha bitch. She loved adventure. While I haven't played the final game She seems to just be Rambo which is fine but not what the character was or is🤷‍♂️

I don't see *extremely* hairy legs, but I don't know if that's because not that many guys have extremely hairy legs times the percentage of guys who wear shorts, or if really hairy guys like to cover themselves up. If the legs were like gorilla hairy I might be a little grossed out, idk, otherwise I'm used to seeing it.

Wieselmann:
Do complex numbers exist in the sense that they are necessary to describe the world as we observe it or are they just a mathematical convinience?

ColorStorm:
..Yes.

Wieselmann:
Are you sure?

ColorStorm:
I think they're both just a mathematical convenience and occasionally necessary to describe the world (for example, in certain electronic circuits). Just like ordinals, integers, real numbers, irrational numbers and transcendental numbers are all 100% made up but are nonetheless extremely necessary AKA useful in describing and manipulating the world.

Wieselmann:
they are not strictly neccesary to describe electronic circuits. Waves can also be modeled without complex numbers, it would just be more complicated to calculate. I can recommend this video if you want to hear more about it

Wieselmann:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALc8CBYOfkw

ColorStorm:
Ah, I suspected they could probably be calculated without complex numbers, but I didn't say it because I figured the easiest way to calculate them without using complex numbers would be to effectively re-create complex numbers without calling them complex numbers or using the i symbol. =P

What's wrong with your socks? What's right with your pants? Where are your pants? 🤨

ColorStorm:
I never have enough socks. Even though I have small bin's worth of them, somewhere, I always run out of them before it's time to wash the rest of my clothes. Maybe they're all just too spread out with all my other clothes to find, I don't know. Also, I have two different styles of socks, so I often have to dig up three to find a suitable pair. What's right with my pants is that they have elastic waists, so I don't have to worry about wearing a belt or getting new pants every time I lose or gain a little bit of weight. Also they're very cool, and my room tends to be hot and I like to sleep with a thick blanket on. Also a lot of them have cool designs on them. One of my pairs of pants is on me, some are in my dirty clothes bin, and most of them are in my five clean clothes bins.

BidenLadysMan:
Here in NY D.A Alvin Bragg won't prosecute ppl who jump the turnstiles. He won't prosecute ppl who strike a cop. Shoplifting, rape, violent crimes have all skyrocketed here in NY. Bragg, the democrat hero that's going to takedown the evil Trump for having snoot, snoot with a pornstar. Is letting his city, my city crumble under his woke ideology. Even if you hate Trump can you defend this?? Can you tolerate this??😖😖

ColorStorm:
I find it hard to believe there's any city where people generally aren't prosecuted for striking cops, rape, etc. I'm thinking maybe there were a couple of exceptional cases where the guys couldn't be charged for some reason (e.g. not enough evidence, or they're VIPs) and the Republicans made it into a big deal, generalizing it. =P

BidenLadysMan:
No they're not extreme. I'm sure it happens in republican cities too. I just can't think of any. But D.As won't prosecute these crimes unless they are egregious and blantly in the media. The reason is to keep the crime rates low. It looks good optically. Another Democrat, D.A. (I'm sorry they just happen to be democrats)😄 she botched 4,000 cases on purpose. To keep her rates low.

BidenLadysMan:
So now we have Bragg, who notoriously here in NY lowers felons to misdemeanors. Because that helps crime rates as well. Found 34 felons against Trump. While Bragg's wife works for Biden. And the judge that signed off on this. Also has a wife that works for Biden.. WOW. Even if you hate Trump. This is a blunt misuse of power. 100 wrongs don't make a right. You can't stop him this way

Do you believe Mystery Movie showings are scams? Like ones where they don't tell you what the movie is until the movie actually begins.

ColorStorm:
No. I'd never heard of Mystery Movies, but I'm guessing the people who view them know it's going to be a mystery, so the theater is being honest about what they're providing and providing something people want, or else nobody would be going to see them. The only way they could be a scam is if they deliberately chose movies that are really crappy because their royalties are cheaper. And even then, it's only a scam if low quality is unexpected by audience members.

BidenLadysMan:
In Wisconsin 3 teenage girls around 14, 15 yrs old. We're showering after their swim class. When a 18 yr old man entered, took off his clothes and started to shower with these girls. He identified as female. I wish I was making this up😆 Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
It's ridiculous on both sides. The whole gender identification thing is ridiculous, and the idea that it's somehow harmful for an 18-year-old man to shower with 14-15-year-olds is also ridiculous.

BidenLadysMan:
It's criminal though. Adults can't be naked with minors🤔

ColorStorm:
Yes, deeply held societal follies often get codified into law.

AJS:
I agree, it is stupid on both sides. He's a man not a woman. At the same time, nudity and someone showering doesn't harm minors. However, if the girls are uncomfortable and don't want him in there, I'd respect that and say he should leave.

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I suppose that's the decent thing to do on his part. But he shouldn't be legally required to. And, if he's not breaking the law, there should be no way to force him?

BidenLadysMan:
Sometimes you have to use laws to force people to do the decent thing. If the girls are uncomfortable which they were, (who wouldn't be) then it's up to a law to make this freak do the right thing.

BidenLadysMan:
As far as the age thing. I agree to an extent. When you take 16 to 18, you're kind of splitting hairs at that point. You're not anymore mature from 16 to 18. But I'd say there needs to be a cut off there. Possibly 15. Once you're talking about 10, to 15. You're very different emotionally, physically. You're not ready for an intimate relationship. If there is no law then you'll get some real pedos.

I know zen is a specific type of Buddhism, but I'm not sure what it means besides that. Based on how I've seen people use the word, I somehow have the impression that it's like a sophisticated mentality some people have where, at the top of their head, all concepts, categories and differences merge into one. Also I had the thought that it seems metaphorically kind of like a mental energy that swishes around like a motorcycle on a mobius strip.

My high school had a prom, but I didn't go. I knew virtually nobody, certainly no girls, and I was too shy to ask anybody out and too socially inept/clueless to know how.

LaDamaX:
I guess things have changed in that regard. Many students go w/out dates and go as a friend group. Less pressure, I think. I certainly didn’t enjoying dancing w the same person the who evening. I would have enjoyed dancing w more people instead of one. My youngest daughter says it’s too much pressure to go with a date.

I bought one, knowing it may be a scam, because I knew that if it was the most I'd lose is $20, and if it's not I'd get an Apple watch worth hundreds of dollars for $20. They sent me a really simple LED or LCD watch shaped like an Apple watch that must have been worth less than a dollar.

BidenLadysMan:
I have an innocent question about abortion. (All my questions are innocent😇) pro choice is giving a woman a choice it's her body so she gets to choose. Ok, cool. But wasn't it also her choice to have unprotected sex? It was her choice to allow a man to finish in her with no birth control, that was her choice. So a baby had to die because you made the wrong choice the first time? Incest, or rape. Can be considered. But how many women will yell rape if that's the only way for them to have an abortion 🤔

ColorStorm:
I think you're right, and I think liberals' framing pro-choice as an issue of women's control of their own bodies circumvents the issue that it's actually homicide. It's not necessarily their own body - it's another person's body, within theirs. But, on the other hand, life in this world for humans is suffering, and (presumably) none of us asked to exist here, so aren't the babies who are aborted actually the lucky ones?

BidenLadysMan:
I had a really beautiful encounter that somewhat changed my mind on this. I accompanied an old woman to see her grand daughter while she was having an ultrasound. They let me come in. And wow. It's an experience. Seeing the baby in the womb is just crazy. A real warm, nice feeling came over me. You can make out alittle face, and hands, he or she, could turn around and kick. It's a person. You're going to kill alittle person who is innocent. And deserves a chance to live🥺

Man who spent 15 years on sick leave and sued IBM for not giving pay rise. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Without looking into it, just going by the information you gave...it seems ludicrous on the face of it, like selfish, entitled, etc., but it could make sense. If the man really was sick all that time, his sick leave is probably the only source of income he has or can possibly get, to keep him off the streets (unfair as it may be for the company, but then who cares--companies are evil, exploitative profiteering machines), and 15 years makes for a lot of inflation. It's probable that what he was paid 15 years ago is no longer enough to cover the cost of living. My other thoughts: he's lucky he was able to pull off getting sick leave for 15 years, and by suing them, he may be pushing his luck...they may find a reason to fire him.

Come on, it's IBM, they won't feel an inch of his pay increase.

LaDamaX:
Would you consider any form of cosmetic procedure to your face? If so, what type- facelift, brow lift, buccal fat removal (cheek hollowing), fillers, rhinoplasty, etc?

ColorStorm:
No, I'm way too attached to my body to do anything permanent to it like that. Also I don't believe in cosmetic surgery, as in I don't think anybody should be doing it because it's deceitful and superficial.

LaDamaX:
Where does the deceit begin and end? Is styling your hair or coloring it deceitful? How about removing body hair? How about wearing pants that hold in my muffin top and accentuate my booty?

LaDamaX:
If I recall, you mentioned something about a receding hairline, but I’ve seen you wear hats. Is that deceitful?

LaDamaX:
How about going commando? If you’re wearing pants, it should be assumed you’re wearing underpants? That’s deceitful.

ColorStorm:
Coloring hair is deceitful. Sometimes kinda. If it's like, bright blue, it's obvious that's not your real hair color, but at the same time, we can't tell what your real hair color is. I'm not sure removing body hair is deceitful because we all know people naturally have body hair, it's no secret. The pants are borderline or maybe not deceitful. The difference between cosmetic surgery and special pants is kind of like the difference between taking a photo with a special lens an modifying it in photoshop.

ColorStorm:
I don't know if wearing hats is deceitful. Wearing a toupee or getting a hair transplant would probably be deceitful. But, when you wear a hat, it's simply in question whether you're bald or not. So maybe it's no more deceitful than refraining from answering a question.

ColorStorm:
I don't see how wearing underpants is deceitful - nobody can see that, so it makes no difference either way. I don't wear underwear, though, but not because I think it's deceitful.

ColorStorm:
actually I contradicted myself. I said that having bright blue hair is maybe kinda deceitful because you can't tell what the real hair color is, while wearing a hat and making people guess whether I'm bald isn't

ColorStorm:
but, changing your hair color is more of an alteration of appearance than a concealing of it, obviously.

ColorStorm:
(and, it goes without saying, I think changing it to a color that's actually naturally occurring in humans is definitely deceitful.)

ColorStorm:
Shoot, I contradicted myself again. I said that changing hair color is more deceitful because it's an alteration, even if you know it's not the real hair color, but removing body hair isn't. I guess I have to pick one. I guess removing body hair *is* deceitful, but it's a deceit I like because body hair is a gross flaw in the human form. =P

ColorStorm:
It's also possible that wearing a hat really is deceitful, but I do it anyway because I'm desperately afraid of girls knowing I'm bald. But it's only *slightly* deceitful even if it is.

Andy:
What was the last purchase you made that made you feel a bit guilty (i.e. perhaps for spending 'too much')?

ColorStorm:
I briefly considered feeling guilty for buying an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 for about $2300. I went to install Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 on my new Windows 11 installation since I own it, and I noticed that they had a newer version out, Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th Anniversary Edition. So I bought that and installed it. On my Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti that I had at the time, it set the graphics to the lowest possible setting. So, I figured it was time to upgrade my graphics card to fully take advantage of the new software I bought. I also thought it might come in handy for machine learning, since I'd tried a couple of things with my 2080 Ti that it didn't have enough memory for. So far I've played MSFS once on the new 4090 and BeamNG.drive once and haven't run any machine learning on it. So I wondered if I should have just kept that money. Also there's the whole environmental concern.

ColorStorm:
I doubt you could save the world with a 30-second airing, but I think there are plenty of things you could show that would affect the national dialog and maybe cause a movement. For example, you could show the leaked footage of US military people blowing up civilians for fun from a helicopter. Or you could show some stats about what surveys show the majority of Americans want, and ask why the government doesn't give us what we want--for example, well over 50% want a UBI. Or you could advertise a great paradigm-shifting book or maybe movie. Or you could smear some bastard politician, like Ron DeSantis. Or talk about the woes of capitalism or at least the workforce. Or illuminate some very popular type of toxic social behavior, especially within families. Or explain why nobody ever really deserves vengeance.

I've never gone to see any band, and I never want to. There's only one tribute band I like any songs by (and it's the only one I even know of), Madhouse (a Madonna tribute band). I wouldn't go even if it were free, because it would be a lot of trouble, the music would be too loud and bad for my ears, and live music is always way, WAY worse than the album versions. If I were for some reason paid to go to a Madhouse concert and they were in town, sure (if the pay were like $2000), or maybe if a girl were involved..

KISS will be doing their "final" tour ending in NY at Madison Square Gardens. For $3,000 USD you can sit right up near the stage. You get to walk around on stage before the show, take pictures. At my age, there is nothing on this earth that get me to pay 3 grand to stand in my feet while getting my organs liquefied by the loud music. Jesus could come down from heaven and sing a duet with Gene Simmons of Rock and Roll all night. I still wouldn't go😆 would you go?

ColorStorm:
I don't care for KISS or their whole genre. Nor do I care for concerts. The album version is always much better than live so there's no point for me, and besides the music is too loud and there are too many people. Even if I liked KISS and concerts, I don't think I would pay $3000. Also KISS must be a bunch of old farts by now.

I take life very seriously. I think a lot of people think that's a weakness and that we shouldn't take life too seriously (it's a side-effect of inspirational meme culture), but I think it's entirely up to the individual whatever works for them. I suspect that those of us who have been more traumatized or have otherwise had more difficulty in life probably take it more seriously, and we have to/ought to, because it causes is to be lodged in something deeper than frivolity, and we need to focus hard on ourselves and our relationship to our environment to compensate for the blight.

The crewmates must either figure out who the impostors are or finish their tasks before they're killed.

Wieselmann:
Would time still go on if nothing in the universe moves anymore?

ColorStorm:
Good question. It's very tempting to see time as something metaphysical that goes on at a constant rate no matter what happens, but it's more practical and metaphysically parsimonious to see it as merely a measure of motion. And if it's merely a measure of motion, then no motion == no time, right? Of course, there may be motion in one place in the universe and not others. If one parcel of mass-energy has a little bit of internal motion in the entire universe, does that mean time suddenly passes again for every point in the cosmos? I don't think that makes sense. So we must be saying that the passage of time is a relative, local phenomenon. It kind of already is per the theory of relativity but in a different way. I think a glaring problem with this view, though, is that by nature all mass-energy is always propagating at the speed of light. Fields propagate outward at c, and anything that doesn't is matter, and matter is just trapped light or other energy/fields, hence the similarity between E=mc^2 and k.e.=1/2mv^2 (it's almost as if v has to always be c...). So this should always hold no matter how old the universe gets. Another thing to consider is parallel universes. If there's a multiverse, does stuff moving in other universes mean time is actually still going on? I guess that comes back to the issue of the locality of time: time is going on there, but not here. But the difference may be even deeper in this case, because each parallel universe/timeline must be its own singularity if scientists' account of the Big Bang vis a vis the beginning of time is considered, which would seem to imply that other universes don't have any particular temporal or spatial relationship to each other; they don't exist in the same space or time but just displaced in space and/or time by a certain amount, e.g. they're not happening concurrently, nor are they way in the future nor way in the past, nor did/will they happen way to the left or right of us. Although, if this is the case, it puts into question how we could ever "travel back in time" by simply traveling to a parallel universe whose present happens to correspond to our past...and, if that's not possible, time travel into the past may just not be possible, because time travel back into the past *in the same timeline* is extremely problematic, as I wrote about here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2020/06/30/on-time-travel/

At some point all stars will die and the universe will remain dark and cold forever. How do you feel about it?

ColorStorm:
It seems weird. I can't believe that will really be the end of everything.

Wieselmann:
Why not and what do you think could happen still?

ColorStorm:
It's just too dark an depressing. I can't believe Nature would be a slow one-way street to oblivion. Since I'm a spiritualist, I'm tempted to think beings will simply reside solely in the spiritual plane and will stop incarnating, but I strongly suspect this is very naive thinking. It's probably more like from the vantage point of the other side, all points from an infinite number of timelines are accessible. But it's still weird from the material, single-timeline point of view. Maybe the theory is wrong.

ColorStorm:
Or maybe, when everything is sufficiently still, distance and maybe time will cease to have the same meaning and a new kind of locality will emerge in which everything is near and there's activity again.

ColorStorm:
I mean the new activity would exist on another level of physical abstraction, but it would be just as real to the new beings that emerge.

How would the public react to sure signs of extraterrestrial intelligent life?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. First, it depends on whether it's an exoplanet or ET life visiting us. If the latter, I think there would be a lot of chaos one way or another. But I don't think society would be in as much trouble as the government thinks it would be. I think they suppress knowledge of ETs and justify it on the basis that everyone would go ape-shit because they want an excuse to power trip and give meaning to their authority. That and the whole Orson Welles fiasco, which is misleading because in that scenario the aliens were supposed to be at war with is.. which is very different. If it's an exoplanet, I think people would be very excited, everyone would be talking about it, some religious people might not like it, a lot of people would want to start thinking about developing the technology necessary to go visit them, we'd send them signals even though we'd know we probably wouldn't see the results within our lifetime.

A video on Instagram showed a husband who was cheated on by his wife. He Removed their floor in the house because he bought it. It opened up a debate in the comments to say the least, my take is😉😉this is what feminism has done. Women today know there is no repercussions for the way they treat men. Now I'm not saying you should beat women. Women amd men should have an understanding that if you commit the ultimate betrayal, they'll be consequences for it. I hate to blame the guy here. But if she knew ahead of time that he would go this far she never would have stepped out on him. Fear is respect. Every woman I've ever been with knows I'm a psycho. And it's understood. If I'm this guy. I'm not stopping at the floor, if I paid for the house. It's on fire right now. And maybe her and the guy she cheated on me with are chained in the house burning to death. Even I don't know how far I'll go if I'm disrespected. But that's why it works, thoughts?😁

There is one thing missing from this essay. And where I justify my point, Sacrifice. If you truly love someone you're willing Sacrifice everything for them. Future romantic or sexual conquests are on that list of things you Sacrifice for the other person in a monogamous relationship. And in turn she will Sacrifice all potential future lovers for me. It plays into the give and take aspect and that's ok. Because you want to give and in return take something all forms of love is like that.

BidenLadysMan:
If you're in a open relationship and everybody is cool with it. Great, beautiful go with it. I've personally never seen an open relationship end in anything other than a disaster. But maybe they exist. But it will never be one I'm apart of. It goes against what I think love is

ColorStorm:
i see it as something you shouldn't hove to sacrifice, just like you shouldn't have to sacrifice having any friends because of a jealous partner. what you gain through the sacrifice is support for the ego and fear at the cost of freedom of the heart and soul

ColorStorm:
people need to learn to be more comfortable with open relationships and make them work

ColorStorm:
not all relationships have to be polyamorous, maybe you're just interested in your partner and they you

ColorStorm:
but even in those relationships there shouldn't be a concept of 'cheating' / the stigma against it

BidenLadysMan:
It's going to be a hard thing for people to get over. Jealously is human nature. I feel like every kind of love is sacrifice. In some relationship there is ego involved and a power struggle. But in healthy relationships you want to sacrifice. You don't see it as a bad thing or atleast I don't. Sacrifice is built in to love. What else can you do. Have a wife or girlfriend meet up, have sex and then leave. Never call her, never spend time with her. Some do that, But That doesn't seem like love.

ColorStorm:
well if spending any time with your girl is sacrifice then well.. you're not really romantically engaged ;d

ColorStorm:
sacrifice is good, but it depends on what you're sacrificing

ColorStorm:
and for hwat

ColorStorm:
so sure, sacrifice, i just don't believe in the sacrifice associated with possession

BidenLadysMan:
If you see it as a sacrifice yea that would be bad lol. You're sacrificing your time in a way. But you want to. You don't have to call it a sacrifice you could call it whatever you want but you are giving something up. You could be doing something else but you're with them. But again you ideally want to be and enjoy it. Parents do it for children, love is eternally linked to some kind of sacrifice that I've seen.

BidenLadysMan:
Cheating and possession. There is a line for sure I agree. But I'm not putting a tracking device in her skin. Lol just don't suck another guy off😆 in my personal experience of how I put together a relationship. Once we're past the dating stage I want to be exclusive. And I've never had this conversation openly with any woman it just sort of happens naturally. Full disclosure I've only ever been cheated on once that I know of. And that was back when I was a teenager

BidenLadysMan:
and not to steer into that but I was a liberal teen and alittle weaker on my beliefs and values. I'm not anymore. Since I've taken dare I say a more Alpha approach to relationships I've never been cheated on again. To my knowledge. That works for me. Others it could be different

BidenLadysMan:
If you're arguing with someone over something and they're disrespecting you in some way, is it worse if they're younger than you, a different gender than you, both, or does it not matter?

ColorStorm:
One time I was witnessing an argument in IRC, and the woman, without any previous mention of anything sexual, pointed out that her disagreement with a man meant she wouldn't want to fuck him, implying that that should be hurtful to the man... I think she had a point. Not all men would care, but I think a lot would, deep down, even if they don't admit it. For me I think it's worse to be disrespected by a female. It's not just about sex, but everything surrounding sensuality, affection and acceptance. Even though chances are if I actually saw her I'd want nothing to do with her sexually or sensually. =P For a guy, younger or older doesn't matter, I think. Not much for a woman, either. Unless she's really up there in age, like older than me, then I know I'm not attracted to her at all.

BidenLadysMan:
I think most men, straight men or maybe even gay men do this too idk. But I think men go encounter with woman thinking there's a possibility of sex. You can be married for 70 yrs. We will still think that. It's hardwired into us. So when a woman we encounter turns out to be a shrew. We feel bad 😆

BidenLadysMan:
for me personally I feel more disrespected by a snotty younger girl vs a snotty young guy although today's young guys aren't too different than young girls. Generally as two men regardless of age we can still understand eachother's point of view. And you can punch a guy😁

Andy:
What are your thoughts on horoscopes?

ColorStorm:
I don't reject horoscopes or astrology on principle, I think it's closed-minded and dense to do so, but I think horoscopes are translated from general energetic influences into way too specific of scenarios to dumb them down and make them sell well, which doesn't do a lot of good for astrology's image, and it makes it so that horoscopes are probably mainly just good for entertainment.

arman:
Do you have any angry family members? If so, how do/did you deal with them?

ColorStorm:
My niece who lived here until very recently used to be angry all the time and would constantly slam any furniture she used. It bothered the heck out of me, but I never called her out on it.

LaDamaX:
Why not? I would have been bothered terribly…

ColorStorm:
I'm too insecure to show an ugly face to someone, an unpleasant emotion. Because of my parents. Also, I know her, and she gets extremely emotional. Her slamming furniture is a release. If I told her it bothered me, she'd probably feel obligated to stop it, but it would make her even more frustrated and she'd have to bottle it up.

LaDamaX:
Because of your parents? Is your niece in a better place now, emotionally? May I ask how old she is?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, she moved out recently, and she said before that the reason she's always angry is that she hates this house, but I don't know if that's really the reason. She's about 23.

AGR:
In your opinion, what does having low grades throughout school mean?

ColorStorm:
It could mean a lot of things. Academic performance is correlated with IQ, but low performance could also mean you don't have the time due to other obligations, or it could mean you're really lazy/just not into school, which is totally fair, or you're depressed.. In elementary school I'd get 60 minutes of detention -every- -day- for not doing my homework, in high school my GPA was 2.2 or 2.5 or something, in college I had to take special remedial classes because I got so many Fs.. I've always been depressed, and I find labor, including/especially mental labor, to be really misery-inducing.

AGR:

No, except for once the principal of my junior high came to me and started talking to me wanting to know why I never wanted to put in the work and if there was anything she could do to motivate me

f00fc7c8:
Do you consider yourself to be spiritual? Tell me about your beliefs. (I myself am a spiritually curious atheist.)

ColorStorm:
Yes, I'm very spiritual (in beliefs if not in practice). I feel like it would be a lot of writing to convey all of my spiritual beliefs and why I have them, but maybe I can give an overview. I believe in God, which is the level of being at which all beings are unified. It's the intelligent cosmos. In Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, God says, "I am everything that is, everything that is not, and everything in between." I like this because it gives a sense of the utter completeness and unboundedness of God. I believe reality is unbounded, there is no end to largeness of existence, you can zoom out infinitely and there will always be more and more "stuff." I tentatively think that physical reality is a smaller subset of a larger spiritual reality. Or, since spiritual reality is endless, there's probably an infinite number of physical realities, whether they're all part of one manifold and/or they're interspersed with rarity throughout spiritual reality. I tend toward panpsychism/pantheism/animism/idealism. I think individual atoms have awareness. Though, paradoxically, I think matter itself might be some kind of projection of consciousness based on things I've experienced. I believe we all have souls, bodies and minds (also, probably astral bodies, etheric bodies, etc.), and that, on the ultimate level, we are all God. I believe God created the Universe, separating himself into many parts so that He could experience Himself through all parts witnessing all other parts and the greater whole. I believe telepathy and other parapsychological phenomena are real. I believe auras are real. I believe tarot drawing isn't just random. I have reasons for all my beliefs, but I'm not getting into them in this post. I believe God doesn't judge and unconditionally loves all beings. I believe there's probably many levels of density, different worlds analogous to this one both "above" and "below" it. Below it is more pain and suffering, less magic, biological beings probably look less aesthetic (more hellish), etc. Above it is more magic and more happiness, more freedom, more hydration (maybe just a kind of spiritual "hydration"), more aesthetic biological organisms, more closeness to spirit and to God, etc. I believe the Mandela effect is real, and this world is made up of a kind of pastiche of collectively created realities. For example, when traveling to other countries, some people may notice their biology subtly changing. I believe in chi, chakras, etc. I believe there are probably angels. I believe we probably have guides, but I'm not sure if they're separate beings or just aspects of ourselves. I believe there may be "demonic" spirits, but they're just dark/lost/immature souls, they're not a separate class of being or minions of the devil or anything. I don't believe there's a devil. I don't believe in the Christian hell. Reality is full of heavens and hells, but none of them are permanent. I believe in reincarnation and the afterlife. I believe in communication with those who have passed over. I believe in ghosts and poltergeist. I believe the past (and probably the future) are somehow intimately connected with the present, so that you can actually affect or create the past from the present (but, once you've observed something from the past, you can't change what you've already observed). I believe in manifestation, vision boards, etc. I guess I'll stop there.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and I believe in synchronicity

What would you rather receive as a gift? Option A - A handwritten letter from your father, stating the 3 key reasons why he loves you. OR Option B - A $100 (or equivalent) gift card of your choice.

ColorStorm:
My father's never said he loves me in my life, nor even hugged me. I'm not sure how much I'd believe it, but it'd be interesting to see what he has to say. That would be a lot more meaningful to me than $100. $100 comes and goes all the time.

What do you think it would say?

I dunno, I think he would really struggle with that. He wouldn't do it unless he really had to.

A group of cops, calling themselves "Ghosts", rob drug dealers to sell the robbed drugs to other gangs. Is that a good business model?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't exactly consider it a legit "business," since it's an abuse of power using their government public servant/law enforcement positions. Besides that, it's not really "good" in the sense that they shouldn't be selling drugs to anyone, for the same reason drugs are illegal--they ruin lives.

Wieselmann:
Do you think humanity should try to build a superintelligent artificial intelligence as soon as possible, so it can solve all of our problems or is that a bad idea?

ColorStorm:
I think it's naive to think that a superintelligent AI will solve all our problems. It would require that all the politicians and leaders just stand aside and do whatever the AI dictates. That's not going to happen, even if it is smarter than them, and even if the public believes it'll solve all their problems. Also, I doubt it's possible to make a truly intelligent AI. And, if you were able to, it would be difficult if not impossible to infuse it with acceptable human values and sensibilities.

I never thought he was funny and couldn't understand how he was so popular, until I saw Elf, I loved that movie, he was hilarious in it. I also loved Anchorman, one of my favorite movies ever. Since finding out I liked him I've seen a ton of movies with him in it, and I guess I liked them, too. I guess my tastes changed a bit over time. As a person, though, after listening to him on Conan's podcast I think he's horribly insensitive.

Are you aware of the Uyghur genocide in China? Shouldn't there be much harder sanctions against China?

ColorStorm:
I'm not aware of it. Will sanctioning them just strangle their people to death on top of the genocide, like Sean said, or will it compel their government to stop the genocide? And, more importantly, will too hard of sanctions incite China to go to war with us? It seems like that's always a risk. On the other hand, maybe they would never because of the risk of it escalating to nuclear war, in which case it's mutually assured destruction, where everybody loses.

Help! So I got my cat sterilised this morning. The vet covered the wound with a dressing but she pulls it up over and over so she can lick the wound Which is not good. I bought her a kind of body stocking but then she doesn't want to walk or do anything with it on. So please, can anyone give me some idea about what to do immediately? I ordered the typical donut that you put around her neck but i won't have it till tomorrow 😭

ColorStorm:
My mom says as long as all four of her legs and head are free in the stocking it's okay if she doesn't want to walk around, she'll probably still get up to eat, etc. when she gets hungry enough.

DUST:
Right. She still doesn't like to move but she does it slowly when she needs it. Also started jumping and finally peed with the body stocking on which it's what I was more worried about. Still no poo tho

Maybe conservatives hate Californians because they're too liberal. California seems to lead the nation, especially in terms of progressiveness.

Entertainment is like soda: it hydrates and makes you satisfied, but contains no nutrients nor is good for health. Do you agree?

ColorStorm:
What is entertainment, exactly? Are you talking exclusively about passive entertainment, for example watching TV or listening to music, or also about joyful things people participate in / do together? Joy is nutritious and good for the health. Some forms of entertainment may not be so healthy, like watching TV, depending on what you watch and how much you watch. Or your approach/purpose for watching. A lot of even passive entertainment (like watching TV shows, listening to music, reading novels) can be very enlightening because it's art, and art is (in)formative.

I meant something like passive entertainment. Fun group activities would be more like natural juice

What is the evolutionary advantage of believing in god?

ColorStorm:
I haven't read The God Delusion so I don't know. But just the fact that people tend to believe in a fictional God doesn't necessarily mean there's an evolutionary advantage. It could easily be a secondary artifact of our evolution, like many things that people look for evolutionary-psychological reasons for. Or it could be that it's a distortion of something we were all once very much connected to. That would make belief in God an attribute of life itself (as in consciousness/awareness/spirit), which exists prior to and is more fundamental than biological life, like many other things that people scientistically look for evolutionary reasons for.

Do you think it can be okay when a 47 year old man has sex with a 15 year old girl?

ColorStorm:
A 15-year-old girl seems unlikely to be attracted to someone that old, so there's a high chance of some kind of coercion or grooming or something going on, in which case it's not okay. But it's possible that she's just in love with him, or oddly into old dudes, or, more likely, that he's a huge celebrity? Contrary to popular belief, I think a 15-year-old is perfectly capable of consenting to sex. She's old enough to have sexual desire and to understand what it means to have sex. People just blindly assume that 18 is when you're able to make an intelligent decision because that's when it's legal. I also don't see anything inherently wrong with people of highly differing ages dating or having sex. Some people seem to reflexively dislike it, but it's none of their business. *So what* if the interlopers have different levels of maturity? Everybody's just as different in many other ways as well. And why make a rule that people can't partake of each other unless they're similar enough in any dimension? (That one may take advantage of or manipulate the other is a reason, which I already said is bad, but that's not necessarily the case.) People use the argument that the decision-making part of their brain isn't fully formed, but by that logic you shouldn't allow them to choose what to wear, what websites to visit, whom to be friends with, etc. People just put sex apart from everything else because society has taught us that sex is inherently naughty, while we see children as inherently innocent, so people seem to get psychalgia whenever the two elements mix. But there's nothing inherently naughty or corrupting about sex or sexuality. This is the same reason people do idiotic things like refuse to teach their children the real words for their body parts, refuse to let them see other people in their natural form (i.e., naked), or punish them for doing something as natural and harmless as masturbating. It all shows there's something seriously wrong with how society regards sex, that becomes especially pronounced when minors are involved.

AJS:
Exactly. Society is insane when it comes to sexuality and minors. Society thinks sexuality is the worst and most harmful thing in the world and then magically okay and great the second you turn 18. And as you mentioned, it spreads into other things. Masturbation, nudity and the words for penis, testicles and vagina get stigmatized for no good reason. I didn't come to these realizations until 2018 but I'm glad I did and am not going back.

Bing uses their own custom GPT-4 or something like that, and I think I've seen screenshots of it "expressing" emotion.

Till Lindemann from Rammstein had an affair with a 15 year old girl when he was 47 years old. Would you still listen to his music if you were a Rammstein fan?

ColorStorm:
Nobody in that scenario necessarily did anything wrong. I'm guessing the girl acted totally out of her own free will and was attracted to him because of his fame and/or phenomenal musical ability. Those are just two of the attributes that women inherently find extremely attractive. And as for the guy, his desire to have sex with a 15-year-old is normal and has been for thousands of years. Younger girls are prettier, healthier, more vibrant, and of ideal birthing age. We just demonize such desires in men these days and try to get them to suppress and deny the desires in themselves, which many do, because contemporary society has decided that ephebophilia (which is incorrectly called pedophilia) is a trait only of the worst of the worst possible scumbags, who are worthy of being tortured mercilessly and then killed.

AGR:
Can we pick and choose what resonates, or is it unfair to do that across the board on every subject?

ColorStorm:
It's complicated. You could mistake emotions being generated by wrong preconceptions, invalid fears, irrational desires, etc. as indicating you're resonating with something. Also, some things may look like they're not resonating with you but it's only because you're not properly seeing the essence behind them. I'd say in general that scientific theory and law that's been established and proven over and over again should be taken as fact regardless of whether they resonate, but that's fraught with issues too. Science is full of corruption, there's the reproducibility problem, and a lot of scientistic precepts such as physicalism and anti-mysticism are taken to be the "scientific" way of seeing things when science itself in no way authenticates them. Maybe one should just be constantly in conflict between "what feels right" and what reason tells you and try to and learn how to let the best one come on top as much of the time as possible.

I'm learning to overcome what I'll call a feel barrier. When I feel something not right, proceed through it anyway.

What's your impression of Astrology? Yep, not astronomy but astrology.

ColorStorm:
There's a very popular type of person who dismisses it out of hand and thinks themselves more intelligent for doing so, but it really just boils down to the scientistic, mechanicist bias of our times. Things are thought to be emergent from purely physical forces which all reduce to microscopic interactions of known forces. Also, things are separated into "black boxes" of functionality that are assumed independent of each other except for known channels of interaction or correlation, without even thinking about it. All these premises are wrong. There's no good reason astrology can't be possibly valid, but that doesn't mean it is. The only way to know is to really get into it and observe how well it works. Oh, also, people tend to call astrology pseudoscience, but, because of scientism, the term pseudoscience is way overused, to refer to basically anything that's not science, as if science is the only valid way of knowing anything. "Pseudoscience" should refer only to things that *purport* to be scientific but aren't. Astrology never claimed to be science and such (though the way it was developed over generations of observation and tinkering may very well be closely scientific method-adjacent).

Yes, but not necessarily. Some people know what sources are biased and trying to control us.

Thoughts on polyamory? (Do you understand it? Do you think you could ever have multiple partners at once? Would you date a polyamorous person?)

ColorStorm:
I think it's the ideal form of relationship since true love gives the other freedom rather than imposing restrictions, especially restrictions on fulfilling their hearts desires, and especially restrictions coming from fear and ego. Though I've heard that in practice polyamorous relationships tend to have problems/drama, and I've never been in a polyamorous relationship. I think these problems likely only exist is the context of an immature culture, though. I wrote an essay that's essentially abut polyamory without saying "polyamory" here: https://myriachromat.wordpress.com/2018/06/21/cheating-fidelity-loyalty/

iro_miya:
I love your essay! I think it perfectly encapsulates it! Also, personally I haven't experienced much drama. On one hand, I find that polyamory can help avoid it because you and your partners can advise one another in your relationships, and you don't have to satisfy all your partner's needs, they can always look for someone else. On the other hand, jealousy can be a problem, maybe it's why there is more drama, but you can learn to manage it. So yeah, pros and cons ^^

So the verdict is in, Instagram has reviewed my page and found me guilty of bad thought! And they erased that page🤣 I'm reminded of a episode of star trek. I can't remember which season or series but there's an episode where aliens kidnapped the captain and they're torturing him. One of the questions they ask him, is how many lights do you see? The correct answer is 4. But they wanted him to say 3. And when he didn't they tortured him. And kept doing so until he admits there's 3 lights. Even though there was 4. He never does say there's 3 lights. That's what the left is doing to the American people. They will force you to say something that is blantly untrue. Covid didn't come from China, the mask mandates were a good Idea, a man can become a woman, you HAVE to say these lies no matter what. Or they will remove you from their world. I've been banned from all major social media platforms 😄 But like the captain I remain strong in my convictions. And I'm not going to let anyone force me to lie. Just so I can "fit in"🤮🤮

[Probably for folks who pee standing up] In public restrooms with both urinals and toilets, which one's your go-to for taking a leak? Is it considered weird or kinda awkward to choose the toilet? I mean, it does make a bit more noise when the liquid hits the water. Tell me your strategy!

ColorStorm:
I always go for the urinals, probably both because it's easier/simpler and it wastes less water. I don't use a urinal directly next to someone else's if I can help it, more because it would just feel weird than because it's the social norm, though if it didn't feel weird to me I'd probably conform to the social norm anyway so people wouldn't think I'm a weirdo. If all the urinals are taken then I use a stall.

People are weird in general and I have no hope of ever understanding them, at least not fully. Even more perplexing to me than such behavior as going around without your shirt on or carrying it on your shoulder is most cultural norms such as whether we're expected to wear a shirt or not to begin with.

ColorStorm:
If I were rich, maybe, but as it is, if I had a house, probably no. If I were concerned I'd just research the foolproofness of various security systems before I buy one. It seems like one problem with hiring someone to test your security system is that you can't actually have the security system automatically call the police on them, and also they wouldn't be intimidated by alarm sounds (though I've read that most criminals aren't anyway), nor would they be afraid of showing up on camera.

Do you think Hitler ever thought of himself as an evil person?

ColorStorm:
No, I really doubt it. In fact, I think most evil people probably don't think of themselves as evil. Like Kate said, I think he thought he was doing society a favor. For example, he wanted to weed out the Jews because he saw them as a blight upon society because he had been convinced by some author's material he had read, whose name I forgot. I honestly don't even think Hitler was evil, because his intentions were to improve society. That doesn't imply that I think he did the right thing or even that he wasn't a monster of some sort. In my view, only people who serve themselves at the expense of others are evil.

in what ways do you address your mental boundaries to people you interact with? do you clearly outline them, address things as they come up, something else? And if it’s not respected after it’s been addressed once what are the consequences?

ColorStorm:
I guess you mean more emotional boundaries than epistemic ones? Either way, I don't really think about it. I don't think in terms of boundaries, it's all just games without frontiers. I mean, yeah, sure, sometimes people treat me in ways I don't like, if that counts (and in that case it's a matter of "when they come up"). I usually don't address it directly in that case, I just stop talking to them. I think it's hard to hurt my feelings without deliberately being an asshole, so there's no point in quibbling about boundaries with such people. Except my mom, she does things that bother me sometimes for reasons that are more unconscious on her part, but I rarely call her out on them because whenever there's the slightest chance that she's being perceived as wrong in some way, she'll argue and argue and she'll say anything just to be "right, " whether it's true or even makes sense or not, and she has a very penetrating, forceful voice, so she makes me feel like *I'm* the one who's wrong, so I'm averse to calling her out on anything.

Kate:
It only shows that when you include absolute boundaries (god's abilities are limitless) or the total lack thereof into a theory the resulting inherent contradictions are galore and not solvable . So any theoretical building like a religion offers its own demise by going to the extremes with the religious assumptions and playing Q+A with them ;-)

Are you afraid of flying by airplane?

ColorStorm:
No, flying is much, much safer than driving. Accidents are pretty rare. TBH I do get nervous about the landings anyway, but it's not enough to dissuade me from flying in the first place. But, what does terrify me is navigating airports. I'm afraid of not knowing what I'm supposed to do and getting embarrassed and worse, not making it to my terminal on time, missing my flight and having no idea what to do next and being embarrassed to ask and try to figure out how to do everything I'm supposed to do. This is only if I'm flying alone, of course. So, I don't fly alone. That's why I took my mom with me when I went to the Philippines to meet my then-g/f. I did fly alone back from Norway once from visiting my then-g/f who's Norwegian, and I flew alone to California and back to meet my first girlfriend, but I was more confident back then, being more naive about my limitations and thinking I should naturally be able to do anything normal people can do.

Would you like to be burnt or buried after you die?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't like to be cremated because I'm afraid it could interfere with the soul's possibly slow sublimation from the body after death. Maybe it could even prevent one from having an afterlife? I don't know. I wouldn't want to be embalmed, either, because it's unnatural and unnecessary and it might also interfere with the process. And no need to be buried in a traditional casket that never decomposes and prevents your body from being absorbed into the earth naturally. And maybe after being reabsorbed into nature the material of my body will actually be happy? So I'd like what's called a "natural burial." I don't know if I'll have a choice, though. I'll have no money when I die, because I'll have been living in an assisted living facility will all my welfare going to them. Also I'm not sure how to let the authorities know what I'd like to happen to my body. Maybe I should tell my sisters sometime, in case they're still alive when I die.

Wieselmann:
Were you ever involved in a car crash?

ColorStorm:
Yes. Here's the story as I wrote it up a few days ago for my Australian friend. My friend was the one driving. When I got into the car, I purposely didn't put my seatbelt on (I rarely ever rode in a car without my seatbelt) and wished that I would get into an accident and die. I purposely allowed that wish to penetrate into a subconscious level so that it would happen. Later on, while riding in the car, we came to a yellow light and my friend sped up to make it through. At the same time, an old person coming from the other direction turned left at the yellow light right in front of us. I think my friend has slow reaction times and I don't remember him trying to swerve away or slow down, but we probably would have crashed either way. I saw we were about to crash, and I said, "Oh shit." My face hit the windshield and make a hole in it. Some of my teeth broke. It cut my eyelashes off and cut my eyelid, just missing my eye. I was bleeding profusely. The shirt I was wearing was an Air Rescue shirt (my dad was an air rescue pilot at that time). It was ruined with blood. A middle-aged lady stopped and kept me company and said she'd stay friends with me. At the hospital, they had to glue my eyelid back together. They accidentally glued it shut so that I couldn't open my eye. They had to pull my eyelid back open, and that kind of intrusion and danger to my eye freaked me out. (I guess I'm absolutely terrified of anything happening to my eyes and possibly losing my sight. When I was young, I would cry continuously if it was dark and I couldn't see a single thing. Not because I was afraid of the dark per se, but because I couldn't be sure that I still had the ability to see.) One the nurses or whatever said, "He's not going to take it!" They got it open, though. When they were trying to open it, I felt like I'd totally surrendered because I had no choice. The next day, my psychic friend Arlen said there was a lot less misunderstanding in the universe.

ColorStorm:
Oh, come to think of it, I've also been involved in two other car crashes. Once when I was young, like maybe 5, a car backed into ours in the parking lot and shattered my window and I cried and cried. Another time, when I was about 15, I was on a trip to France with other French students and while riding in the tour bus, the car in front of us suddenly went sideways for some reason and we slammed into it. Everyone went "ahhh!" so I stood up in my seat to see what was happening, so when it slammed I was

ColorStorm:
standing up and got almost buckled over the seat in front of me.

ColorStorm:
I think it was raining at the time, so they must have slipped on the rain.

There are always degrees of freedom, we never have total freedom (or maybe we do when we die, idk), and we never have no freedom, but the most important marker, I guess, is being able to fulfill our desires. Maybe not ALL of our desires, e.g., do we not have the critical amount of freedom because we can't make out with Scarlett Johansson, or because we can't make a billion dollars, or perform psychokinesis? I'd guess no.

Wieselmann:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZIdsrOg37Q&ab_channel=CloserToTruth What do you think about his idea of mental causation? Do you think free will can exist if the energy conservation law is true?

ColorStorm:
A critic/physicalist might say that what he calls "mental causation" actually reduces to brain processes, like any other aspect of mind, and therefore the old argument that our actions are actually deterministic or due to a combination of determined and random influences still holds. They'd say his characterization of mental causation as "mysterious" is merely an expression of the fact that we're not aware of the ultimate microscopic causes of our own thoughts, desires, beliefs, actions, etc. I'd say this is merely an assumption on the critic's/physicalist's part, it's totally unproven, and McGinn's position is very possible, although it itself is unproven as well. But, I'd say it successfully (at least if one properly understands it) leaves the door open for the possibility of free will, quashing the old argument that free will *necessarily* doesn't exist and is itself an incoherent concept because all actions are either determinist or a combination of determined and random. I think McGinn would have done a little better to clarify/emphasize that this kind of causality is *non-mechanistic* (I'd say, even magical, but the concept of magic rubs most people, especially rationalists, in a very wrong way, and it's not necessary to bring it up) and that's why it's not amenable to the old "meaninglessly determined vs meaninglessly random" dichotomy. He could also make use of the concept of meaning vs the lack of it, as I just did, to point out that our fundamental problem with free will is that we think both determined and random actions are inherently meaningless (at least with respect to whether they can give rise to free will), while the third option is to assume that the "randomness" in that formula isn't "meaningless" randomness, it's actually what you get when you take randomness (or, more accurately, non-determined actions) and add some kind of (necessarily mysterious) existential meaning to them. Since this "meaningful randomness" (or second type of "causation," as McGinn frames it) is non-mechanistic, it's inherently not modellable scientifically/mathematically, which is why science hasn't discovered it and can't ever discover it. The best it could possibly do with the observation of influence by the meaningful but non-mechanistic is model it as random events, probably with a Gaussian distribution, and assume they're "absolutely random," which is exactly what it did. The second benefit to recasting his "metal causation" as "meaningfully random" events is that it's compatible with the popular idea that mental cations are neurological actions (not that I'd necessarily fully agree with/support this idea), while neurological actions reduce to events under physics/quantum field theory, which only allows for actions to be either deterministic or deterministic + random. I've written more about this (basically coming up with McGinn's same idea myself before he did, but not getting any credit for it :P) is the second bullet point of https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2016/12/13/notes-on-free-will/ .

ColorStorm:
To clarify: The reason, or at least one reason, the "meaningfully random" influences would probably follow a Gaussian curve is that anything that's the result of many factors adding up follows a Gaussian/Bell curve.

Wieselmann:
Do you think the mental causation breaks the law of energy conservation? It may not be physical itself but it would lead to new impulses in the physical world

ColorStorm:
One person on YouTube replied to me and said that McGinn's mental causation was a way that mental processes could still be physical yet not determined and allow for free will. He was apparently very familiar with McGinn. So maybe the argument isn't that it's not physical. But I guess you could say that either way it could result in new impulses. My answer is I guess mass/energy could be redirected arbitrarily without violating conservation of mass-energy? Sort of like when it's bounced off a mirror, or with

ColorStorm:
angular momentum, only in this case the mirror or whatever is magical or whatever.

ColorStorm:
Or, the impulses could simply begin with orchestrated/meaningful quantum-random events, which of course don't violate conservation of mass-energy, as they're an accepted part of physics.

ColorStorm:
Quantum-random events can have macroscopic results, it's called quantum amplification, and of course this must be possible or they could never have measured them in a lab to show that they exist. Various popular experiments showing the counterintuitiveness of QM involve this. And small perturbations are most likely to have larger effects in chaotic systems, and I've read that the brain operates on the edge of chaos.

LaDamaX:
What kind of person likes their own social media posts?

ColorStorm:
My theory of mind fails when it comes to that, so I'm inclined to just answer the same answer as Arthur's. Maybe I have a little bit of insight, though. They're shamelessly self-promoting and perhaps lack self-awareness to see how cringe it is. Or maybe not. Maybe most people are unnecessarily hindered by a sense of fair play when it comes to earning popularity. Maybe most people unconsciously see posting and earning likes as a battle for self-validation, while the people who like their own posts are more at one with their desire for adulation, or they just lack the common faculty of self-criticism. Though this is going on the assumption that people can't see or won't notice that the like, or one of the likes, is by the original author. Because otherwise, liking their own post is kinda like...buying themselves an award. It cancels itself out. It defeats the purpose. Well, I guess the purpose could be exactly to signal that they like their own post. But then, isn't that kind of a given? If they didn't like what they're saying, they wouldn't post it. But still, I guess those who unabashedly celebrate and/or promote themselves are the most successful in life and have the healthiest self-regard. Though most of them still aren't weird enough to like their own posts. =P Even if they're weird or somehow lack awareness, though, what Sean said about shaming people for the wrong things.

I don't really have any thoughts on it. I don't know how that would play out regarding its effect on my life, there are so many unknown variables. I guess one possible positive outcome is that I might have read more. Also maybe we wouldn't have been poor, which would have been convenient.

This is a nuclear take now: (ugh this is going to get so much hate. Ah I have life insurance😁) The reason why men and women will never really be seen as equals in society is because women always have a way to live off if somebody IF THEY WANT TOO. Let me be clear. Many of them don't want too even if they get married and have kids. But the option is available in a way it's not for men. If a woman wants to, wants to she can find a good man, get married, have a beautiful baby, and (And the man should absolutely take care of you and the baby) and then have a wonderful new life as a wife and mother. That's not an option for men. Not saying motherhood isn't challenging. But it's not really hard😆 I'm being serious it's not in a way like working a job. Ok fir fun, let's compare a married woman with a kid vs my life for instance,😁 a typical day in the life of a mom with one kid. Ok. She gets up in the morning. Give the baby breakfast, a bottle or titty, whatever 😄. Change the diaper. Put the baby in the crib and that's pretty much it. Make sure the kid is alive all day and feed and change as needed followed by sitting on the couch watching TV 😆. Then maybe dinnertime. You make something (considering you did barely fuck all today😝) Then your husband gets home, from his actual job😜 He takes over the baby allowing you to have a break (you poor dear) warm bath and off to sleep. Now, LET ME SHARE MY DAY!. I get up early, get to go on a 2 and half hour train ride and thanks to Biden's America I get to dodge muggers all along the platform just so I can sit next to the guy jacking off on the train. I get to my job for an 8 hr shift, sometimes 12, mostly 12. Where at said job, I get scratched,.bit, spit on, cussed out, scolded by coffee, and crushed by fat old people. 8 to 12 hrs of fun later. I get to ride back home for another 2/12 hours sit next to the same guy jacking off. Crawl through the front door to collapse on the bed, OMG BEING A MOM IS SO MUCH HARDER!🙄😆.. two weeks of that ladies will be like hey I have a uterus!. Let's use that😂🤣 I'm misogynistic, a little but you know it's true😆😄

ColorStorm:
If you think being a mom is a lot easier than having a day job, you should talk to some women who have actually been moms..

BidenLadysMan:
It's not hard in the same way. It has moments but having a job dealing with people, traffic etc is harder and more mentally taxing than dealing with one little human being. It's challenges you can mostly control. Now being a single mom, that's a different situation.

Wieselmann:
What do you think about IQ tests? Do you know what your IQ is?

ColorStorm:
They measure a specific type or aspect of intelligence. The breadth of aspects of intelligence they can measure is limited, because by their very nature they can only test intelligence applied to problems where there is exactly one possible answer (at least out of the options), and it's *objectively* correct, no room for subjective assessment. (What I'm referring to is multiple choice questions.) In practice, I notice that they seem to favor formal, analytic thinking and the ability to solve puzzles. And people with *extremely* high IQs also tend to be very *clever*, so that's probably another thing they measure (or maybe there's some extent to which that aspect of intelligence is just positively correlated with aspects IQ tests measure). While what they can or do measure is limited in scope, it's an important aspect of intelligence, especially for purposes society tends to highly esteem--academics, science, STEM (IQ is *highly* correlated with academic success)--and it's also known that all aspects of intelligence are positively correlated with each other, so a person with high IQ is likely to have high intelligence in general, that is, in all the ways we *really* mean when we say someone is intelligent. So, it irritates me when people say IQ is meaningless, because (a) they just assume this without understanding the subject at all, (b) it's just one-sided hyperbole, taking something that has some truth to it and making it into a polar absolute, and absolutist thinking is a common problem, (b) they can't see the *obvious*, (c) they're *wrong* and being wrong always seems malignant to me for whatever reason, (d) it's just a self-serving cope for the fact that they don't score high in intelligence tests, yet they value high intelligence (as is the social norm) and they don't want to feel humiliated or devalued, and (c) it makes them fail to honor high intelligence where it's due because they refuse to recognize it. (And this isn't about "I have a high IQ, honor me," I'm not that weak, I'm talking about the value of recognizing everyone with a high IQ everywhere.) I have a fascination with people with extremely high IQs. I love to talk with them, and to be known by them. I used to regularly talk with people with IQs over 180, I miss those days. I've also talked with the person who held the Guinness world record for the highest IQ (196, IIRC), Chris Langan (though the high IQ community in general doesn't like him, and they say he only scored that high because he took the test 3 different names and his real IQ is likely closer to his first score, 170, though that's still extremely high.) As for my IQ, my scores vary. I used to take online IQ tests, and I usually scored between 135 and 145. I took the WAIS-III once, but I was *very* out of it that day. I think my overall IQ was measured at 120, while one subscore, which I think was called "functional IQ," was measured at 138. I've taken the MENSA practice test and passed it. I took one IQ test in my life that I paid for, which was a normalized test (meaning they statistically adjusted the results so that they fit the bell curve, and it also took into account test takers' results from other tests, so the results are reliable), and got 146. It was the Logima Strictica 36, which was specifically designed to test creativity (insofar as you can possibly do that with the multiple choice format). I once took a German test that was only composed of questions where you look at sequences of grids with dots in them and choose the next in the sequence, and I got 160. IIRC, it seemed to be all about tracking the linear motions of individual dots across the sequences, despite the fact that multiple dots would frequently take up the same cell (in which case only one dot was displayed) as they moved along. The lowest I ever scored was 98. It was a test that ran in DOS (the text-based OS prior to Windows), which was ridiculously hard and relied on a lot of obscure knowledge. I haven't taken an IQ test in many years, and I'm probably less good at taking IQ tests nowadays because I seem to have lost some of my ability to think about certain logical constructs or to formulate plans of attack in solving certain kinds of conceptual problems. It's like on a preconceptual level I can no longer choose a single direction to take and try to take them all simultaneously. (It's a case of "The person who chases two rabbits catches neither.)

ColorStorm:
Oh, correction to "insofar as you can possibly do that with the multiple choice format": the Logima Strictica 36 wasn't multiple choice, or at least some of it wasn't. (Though its ability to measure creativity is still limited by the fact that there's only one right answer)

BidenLadysMan:
More on the snow white/Rachel Zegler controversy. Disney is mostly to blame for this. Yes Zegler is a big mouth woke cu*t BUT Disney hire because they are anti male now. They are rewriting snow white. Do you all remember the story of snow white? Brief summary: The king's wife dies, so he marries this wicked Witch basically. Mirror, Mirror and all that stuff, the Witch finds out that snow white is the fairest of them all, and she wants to kill her. So she hires the huntsman who is A MAN. When huntsman meets snow white he feels bad for her and tells her to run to save her life. Snow White runs into the woods where she would probably be eaten alive by animals if not for these seven little MEN.. who saves her. And they take care ofnher and she in turn takes care of them. They go in the mine and whistle while they work (another thing to get liberals mad, WORKING for a living gross 😝 Why not welfare🙄) But I digress. The Witch finds snow white, the poison apple almost kills her whatever. The dwarf feel so sorry that snow white died that they don't want to bury her so they put her in a clear casket. The prince again a MAAAANNNN😆 comes along and kisses this dead broad. True love's first kiss and they live happily ever after.. Think of all the trigger words in that story for liberals, and feminists. Love, Romance, WORKING, all that will make a blood vessel burst in any lib-tard, male hating feminist's brain. Woke Disney can't let a story like that be told in 2023. So yes Rachel Zegler is a dumb b!tch to be sure but she's merely a symptom of a bigger disease

ColorStorm:
I haven't noticed liberals being against work, love or romance. Seems like right-wing fantasy. Regarding work, all they want is to be able to paid enough to live on when they have a full-time job. Yes, a lot of us are tired of capitalism, wage slavery/exploitation and poor treatment of employees, but that's not the same as wanting to be on welfare, it's about fundamental reformation of the system. The term "libtard" reminds me of the Easter Island head calling Ben Stiller's character "dum dum" in this movie clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-gPqfZI-r8 , it has all the irony of it but it's more malignant. But I agree about Hollywood being too woke and no longer using genders/ethnicities/whatever that are appropriate for the parts. And the Oscars are now just based on a checklist of items a movie has or doesn't have, such as LGBTQ, feminism, anti-racism, diversity (disproportionately using non-white actors), etc., so all the movies are sure to be about those things or to gratuitously throw them in, and the Oscars have become less about recognizing actually good movies.

BidenLadysMan:
The more extreme left wing of the party is against love and romance. Because everything is a sex crime. You're not allowed to court someone or hold hands without her blowing a rape whistle. The real liberal fantasy is have fair wages. We all believe we're not paid enough for our work. But there's a concession that in order to be paid more someone has to eat the cost and it won't be the company.

BidenLadysMan:
You can pay a McDonald's worker $45 an hr but than hamburgers will be 25 dollars per burger. Because the money has to come from somewhere. There's operating cost you need to pay as well as taxes. And mom and pop business go under entirely. They can't pay employees that much. Liberals have convinced themselves the company is rich just pay me more. It's the way a child thinks of money. Mommy you're rich buy me a toy. That's not how that works

Why do people care so much about what Oprah wears, reads, plates she uses, and in what direction she wipes? 🤷🏻‍♀️

ColorStorm:
I guess so they can judge her, or so they can be more like her, or so they can judge those particular things with respect to her regard for them. It's all about celebrity worship, we're social, status-seeking and status-honoring animals, so all that fame makes people larger than life in our minds and makes us adore them. Though we also adore them for their extremely favorable traits or combinations of traits. The level of favorability of such people is very rare, and it's what made them famous to begin with. Though it's enhanced by the roles they fill and other aspects of the media making them look as good and cool as possible, and probably also by them *literally* appearing larger than life on TV, on the bigscreen, etc.

Computer question: is it difficult to build a PC?

ColorStorm:
I built a PC once and hardly knew anything about specific hardware or building PCs in general (I just read some instructions that came with the parts and maybe I looked online too), though I did understand computers on a basic level, and it worked, much to my surprise. At first it wouldn't come on, which scared me because I figured unless it was some simple mistake I made I'd never be able to figure out what's wrong so it would never work and I wasted my money and would also have to be very disappointed because of my effort and anticipation (having a faster computer was a very exciting prospect, computers were very slow in those days and using the computer was basically all I did), but I checked everything over and discovered that I'd forgotten to connect a particular wire to a particular pin. Once I connected that it worked perfectly, which actually amazed me, because I thought there were so many possible things that could go wrong, especially given that I was an amateur. (I've wondered before, maybe or maybe not at that time, why I'd even set out to build a computer if I thought there was such a high chance of it not working, but the truth is that I never really had any doubts that it would work until the moment of truth. I was very blithely optimistic about certain actions and endeavors when I was younger. But then, it did work, so maybe my doubts were just fear getting the better of me or just me overthinking and I wasn't overly optimistic to begin with in that particular case.) I didn't actually perform all the steps you normally do to build a computer, though, because I didn't put it in a computer case. IIRC, I felt it was unnecessary and probably also couldn't afford one, as I vaguely remember spending all my money on the parts I did buy. I just put the motherboard and all the exposed parts right on the (carpeted) floor along with the peripherals. I didn't have a chair in those days, I just sat on my floor to use my computer.

That was a long time ago, though, and I was cooped up in a log cabin with no internet so nothing to do. ATB - Twilight makes me think of getting a rare moment of happiness in life that penetrates to a deep, deep level of my being at which I'm fundamentally alone and always have been.

filialunae:
I love her

ColorStorm:
I was intrigued with the beat of that song, it was mostly consistent but just randomly changing enough (or maybe just logically complex in a way that I couldn't track?) to be titillating. I thought it might have been the best beat I'd ever heard. Then sometime later I found out that Marina had been unsatisfied with the beats made by whoever in her band made them so she started making them herself, so I was impressed. She's also ridiculously cute and trim. Though tbh Forget is the only song by her I like.

ColorStorm:
But it's one of my all-time favorite songs, and I love the singing and melody too, and to some degree the lyrics, not just the beat.

How is it that celebrities are totally head over heels in love and ready to marry someone one minute and then broken-up and are pregnant with some one new the next? Is this just the bohemian lifestyle/personality or are they simply trying to keep themselves relevant?

ColorStorm:
It may be because celebrities celebrities don't get into relationships for the same reason normal people do. They generally only go out with other celebrities, so they have a small group to choose from (so less likelihood of a good match), and they go out with them because they're starstruck. So superficial reasons, being attracted to their hyped up *idea* of the person, etc. So it's no wonder their relationships fall apart in short time.

I've noticed two curious things fighting with liberal feminists all week. 1 "Bitches be crazy”😆 and 2, feminists always date the same type of guy. Excuse my slightly homophobic language but they date twinks. Their guys look like Elliott page. 😆 they look like girls transitioning to guys. They're scrawny, wimpy things. I don't get it😂 my theory radical/liberal feminists need to date guys qith limited options. So that way the guys put up with their bullshit. They can't go with tall, dark and handsome types because they'll leave them in a hot min. Thoughts?🤔

ColorStorm:
It could also because manly-looking guys are more likely to have hypermasculine traits that they dislike, or because they want to dominate in the relationship because girl power, or maybe they just want equality in the relationship and manly guys tend to have the ideology that they should be the dominant one in the relationship.

BidenLadysMan:
That's fair points. Yes, I think that is a possibility. They want to be the dominant one in the relationship so masculine men wouldn't appeal to them. But I've always found women generally like a guy with some fight in them too. Deep down they want that.

I saw a clip on Instagram where this teen girl was mouthing off to her mom. It was a movie scene or something. And the teen says she didn't ask to be born. Besides the fact in a real black household she'd get an ass whoopin lol. But besides that. None of us choice to be born really so what responsible do we have over our own lives? Can you screw up something you didn't consent to having namely your own existence? Is it too early and im sleep deprived and high?🤣

ColorStorm:
I don't think responsibility (in the sense of duty) is something that can be thrust upon us by others or society, the only responsibilities we have are the ones we take. We should take responsibility over own lives, but not because we're obligated to, just because it's in our best interest, so we should do so whether we chose to be born or not. Yes, you can screw up something you didn't consent to, namely your own existence. I also think "I didn't ask to be born" is a perfectly valid argument from a kid, parents are selfish for bringing people into this world of suffering, and since they're responsible for their kids' existence, they own them *everything*. Anything and everything that can make their kids' lives better, it's only right for the parents to give. Even if it means, for example, their life savings so that their kids have to work that much less.

ColorStorm:
I wear wind pants (i.e., windbreaker pants) because they're more convenient, I don't have to worry about getting the exact right size, when my size tends to fluctuate. A long time ago I used to wear exclusively green jeans, but I switched to Dickie's when I got a job at the post office, and then I guess I switched to wind pants after that. I also have a couple that are like wind pants but thicker--I'm wearing one right now. I also have a pair of white "beach pants." I prefer colorful wind pants, like with patterns or at least all blue/green/blue-green, and I have a few, but most of them are black because black is the easiest to find.

What do you think of the James Webb space telescope? Or even the name of it? I remember some sort of dispute over the name.

ColorStorm:
I don't know enough about the name to have any opinion. AFAIK, they named it after some famous astronomer. Why are they disputing it? Was there a more famous astronomer they should have named it after? That would be a bad reason. Or did James Webb do something that was un-woke and get canceled? As for the telescope, it's cool. Just progress as usual - the new Hubble. I remember there was a setback, a defect in the main mirror when it came out, but they fixed it, or at least partially fixed it. The mirror was warped, and they installed a smaller mirror that it reflects off of that was warped in just the right way to counter the warpedness of the main mirror. But I don't hold that against them...it's almost expected for something to go wrong. Pulling off a project like the James Webb telescope is a miracle of human engineering.

ColorStorm:
I used to go to free classes at FIU by an astronomer whose last name was Webb. He said people would confuse him with James Webb.

It would be nice, but I'm not actively trying because it doesn't seem possible or at least I don't know how. My social issues are extreme and deep. I'm 46 (47 in a couple of weeks), and haven't cured them yet. And it's not *just* social anxiety, it's also more or less complete social ineptitude.

Elon Musk revoked the bought "Blue Badge" of union accounts on Twitter( X ) when they went on strike. Now you are aboard a Space-X starship to colonise Mars and are not happy with the working conditions ..... Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
How petty. I wonder if that was even legal. And yeah, you probably shouldn't trust Elon if he's in charge in that scenario. But then, who could you trust? And will it be led by a single dictator, by a committee, by direct democracy, or what?

Are you able to look past actors or actresses you don't like to watch something they're in that you do like? I'm not really able to. Like Jennifer Lawrence is a gutter skag. There by I won't watch anything she is in😁

ColorStorm:
There are no actors or actresses I don't like. Except for Chuck Norris, just because he's a terrible actor. The only truly bad actor I've ever seen on television/in the movies.

ColorStorm:
Well, except for young children. Young children tend to be pretty bad actors. Every once in a while you see an amazingly good one, though.

What does it mean when a fragrance is described as “ Delicate sugared petals invite you to experience the alluring fragrance as you immerse yourself in the sensorial appeal of vanilla, soft spices, and cocoa”, but then you try it on and smells like the “all natural, child and pet-safe” insecticide you can purchase at the health food store?

ColorStorm:
it means the company wants to sell as many of their product as possible so they're taking advantage of psychology and also the fact that you can't necessarily smell it before you buy it so all you have to go on is their description. Like every other company: use every trick possible.

Nothing really, but I kinda feel like being older gives me some kind of value, because I've seen more cultural history. Not that young people would ever recognize that.

BidenLadysMan:
Democrate Mayor Adams here in NY. Is telling us in order to handle the migrant surge. He wants us to let Migrants stay with us in our homes. Oh, oh they'll give you money. Remember Dems thinking capitalism, dirty, nasty wrong!! Fuck you rich people!! Oh we'll pay you it's fine🙄. And wasn't it democrats who said we had to stay away from people during covid? Now we can let these disgusting people into our homes? So you ask, why am I so mad? Barring the fact that I have to deal with their policies head on. When I'm on the subway and I see a homeless guy jerking off infront of HS kids. But I can't stop him because he's black and it'll be an issue when really I should push him in front of a train. Barring that!!. I work in a nursing home. I had to tell people that they couldn't see their parents that were dying. Because democrats enforced that rule. I had to tell people their parents were still alive even when they weren't. I have to live with that the rest of my life. So yea, maybe I don't vote for Trump because I think he can fix America. Maybe I vote for him to make Democrats hurt. Because deserve to hurt for what they've done.

ColorStorm:
So you'd rather people in old folk's homes, people who are parents and grandparents, die in droves because they were infected by people visiting during a pandemic? Of course the rule against allowing visitors was a Democrat idea, Democrats are the more intelligent of the two parties and tend to see the bigger picture and from a more compassionate angle. (As for having to tell people their parents were still alive, I don't know what law that is or how the Democrats are responsible for it.)

BidenLadysMan:
The patients weren't infected by visitors. So what happened was, our governor at the time, perhaps you've heard of him. Andrew Cuomo. (He was a star of the democratic for awhile until he wasn't) he had an interesting policy.

BidenLadysMan:
When an elderly patient showed "covid like symptoms" they were taken to the hospital. There they would mingle with other patients who DID have covid. When the patients were stable enough and now fully infected with covid. Per the democrat governor's order they were sent back to the nursing home.

BidenLadysMan:
To mingle, with other covid free patients. The cycle continued for months, our democrat governor kill thousands of elderly patients we lost over 25. Smart? Now Trump retrofitted a big battleship into a hospital that would have held thousands of people away from the nursing homes until they recovered.

BidenLadysMan:
But again our democratic governor refused. Because Trump is naughty. As far as the policy to not tell the patient's next of kin that they were dead. We were "encouraged to do that so it keeps them calm. So they don't get a court order to see them. Which they could have and won because democrats weren't as powerful as they thought they were and have no right to keep you from your family.

BidenLadysMan:
I've always praised democrats for the covid scam. It was brilliant. Horribly monstrous, and I would kill myself if I were apart of it. But brilliant. It did its job. It kept Trump out of office🤷‍♂️

No, it's not healthy or balanced to eat it all the time. They put a coating on the noodles, to keep them from sticking IIRC, that's carcinogenic. And I think the flavor packets have a lot of salt. And 90% of health problems can be avoided by eating lots of vegetables..

All those people need food and fresh water. And also have a carbon footprint, consume other resources, etc. And I think all the empty land in this world is either uninhabitable (like the deserts) or forest area, and we need our forests.

ColorStorm:
Steve Jobs - he was just a good CEO, there are plenty of good CEOs, someone just propped him up once and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. They worship him because it's popular to. Or maybe it's because Apple is a cult. Carlos Mencia - Only unintelligent people could think his humor is funny. Steven Hawking - He wasn't one of the greatest scientific minds that existed, as the public seemed to tout him as, he was just popular because of his disability. Sure, he was bright, and contributed to his field, but if it weren't for his disability, he would be unknown except by other scientists for his contributions in his specific field. Donald Trump - Trumptards think he's playing four-dimensional chess, when really all he ever does is shoot from the hip.

LaDamaX:
Can empathy be taught/learned or are we born empathetic?

ColorStorm:
I think empathy is something that comes naturally to us, whether it's due to evopsych or the nature of spirit/consciousness or both. I'm not sure if we're born with it per se, or if it begins after a few months or years, but I think I've seen videos in which babies showed empathy. That doesn't necessarily mean it can't be taught/learned, though, or at least facilitated that way. I have the feeling if you don't have the innate capacity for empathy somewhere in you, then there's no way you can learn it. I think, insofar as it can be learned/facilitated, the most effective/common way is through inflicting a lot of emotional pain and suffering. People who go through a lot tend not to want others to experience pain and suffering like they did.

What are your thoughts on the jury process when it comes to Court Proceedings? (i.e. random adult members of the public deciding based on witnesses both sides of the case the nature of the crime)

ColorStorm:
Jurors should be compensated more. They're involuntarily being taken out of work, and they may not be able to afford the loss of their hourly wages for that time. Another thing, we need to stop withholding key information from them. In I think the book 'Guilty: The Collapse of Criminal Justice' by Judge Harold J. Rothwax, one of the chapters is titled, '12 People We Don't Trust With the Truth.'

ColorStorm:
Oh, also, the option of jury nullification shouldn't be kept secret from them.

A friend of mine gave me this tip: Always keep a spare $20 in your wallet in case someone [especially an addict] tries to mug you for money (like, to pay for their joint or whatever). There is a high chance that if you give them the $20, they might leave you alone. What do you think? Is there any merit to this strategy, or is it just a wild idea?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. I wouldn't bet on it. A better strategy is probably to have a false wallet on you with the real, important one more hidden. Maybe a false phone, too. Though I'm not sure if people still steal phones nowadays since you can't use them or reset them without knowing the PIN.

In Wisconsin department of corrections, out of 161 self-reported transgender inmates, (men claiming to be women) 81 of them have committed atleast one sex crime, up to and including raping a child. But hey, no red flags here. Let them in your child's classroom or better yet bathroom.. Nothing bad will happen, right libs?😒🙄

ColorStorm:
This isn't very scientific. We're talking about inmates here, so of course they're going to have a higher frequency of crimes including sex crimes of whatever type, whether they're transgender or not. What's the frequency of sex crimes, raping children, etc. in transgenders in the normal population relative to cisgenders? Or even the frequency of them in transgenders in prison relative to cisgenders in prison?

BidenLadysMan:
The UK parliament did a study of trans gender people. From an excerpt of that "The study can be divided into two cohorts 1973-1988 and 1989-2003 with the difference being that the latter cohort received adequate mental health provision. The findings show that transsexual individuals were more likely to be criminal than non-transsexuals of the same birth sex in the first cohort (1973-1988), and no different from their birth sex in the second group (1989-2003).

BidenLadysMan:
Anecdotal data, I read a story of a trans principle at a school was charged with child pornography 15 yrs before he transitioned and was hired by the school. Here in NY a Trans-teen brutally beat his sistwr and father to death. That story was quickly buried by rhe libreal media. You have to keep in mind. The radical left is in bed with the Trans movement.

in this country it is now a rule that police officers are working as a pair of a female and male partner. The female officer always does the communication. What do you think?

ColorStorm:
Great idea. Women are natural communicators and tend to be a lot less aggressive than men, so this could help de-escalate lots of situations, especially those involving the mentally ill, neurodivergent, etc. A lot of the police, at least in the US, are egoistic, domineering, murderous, lying bullies, and any female presence in the field would help mitigate that.

I worry for America's boys. Feminists are breeding out all the male qualities. I see young boys even teens that are sissy. Not even in a gay way just sissies. They're more prissy. Like idk how to explain it you have to see it. But I know why, it's because these boys are over cuddled by overprotective white, yuppy liberal parents. Who name their son Todd. We use to beat the shit out of kids named Todd😄Are boys even into cars anymore? Not today's pussy cars like real American made cars. When I was growing up my favorite dream car was a 1969 Camero. My uncle had one when I was growing up That was a car. 2 tons of American gas guzzling steel. Toxic masculinity at its finest bitch! You start that engine, hear that 8 cylinder beast roar life. Pit a boy that's questioning his gender. His dick will grow right back! I'd be driving this monster down the road, top-down, wind in your hair.. shades on, cigarette in your mouth, Fuel by Metallica playing on the radio. Greta Thunberg giving me a blowjob in the front seat😆🤣 It's power and freedom. All boys need that. Thoughts 😄

ColorStorm:
So just to be clear, you're advocating for toxicity?

BidenLadysMan:
No, I'm advocating for the old way of doing things. Where the the word toxic didn't exist. You had honor, respect and manners but the normal boy behavior wasn't demonized. Many liberals are doing that now it seems

ColorStorm:
I personally don't miss any of that machismo. Beating people up is damaging and toxic. Smoking cigarettes is really dumb and self-destructive. Gas guzzlers are contributing to the downfall of the entire biosphere, but macho PoS's don't care. The instruments of metal music are highly dissonant, the vocal utterances are gross, and that kind of music just pollutes your aura, but people are just happy to be penetrated and feel anything, especially if the music seems "cool."

ColorStorm:
Greta Thunberg is a hero, and your crass sexualization of her is demeaning and an attempt to subvert something truly good, but that's typical of toxic masculines..

BidenLadysMan:
Ah, no worse than the way the liberal climate change pushers prostitute Greta out for their left wing agenda. Despite the fact that she was a child and had no opinion about the world that's truly her own. Hero? Calling her Hero is demeaning to real heroes. Heroes risk something for what they believe in. What has she risked? She uses millions of gallons of fuel to fly around the world to put on concerts to tell us we're not doing enough. She's a little girl with a big mouth. I figured put it to better use😄.

BidenLadysMan:
Masculinity is not toxic. Teaching our boys that they are evil and wrong for feeling the way they do IS evil and wrong. Boys and men are messy, and when they are young a bit uncivilized. And yes we did fight and hit eachother.

BidenLadysMan:
Real men imo come out of those years respecting eachother. That's what Masculinity means to me. It's about honor, respect and a willingness to fight and defend what we love. And on a social note MOST women want that. And need that. They want to feel protected. Gas guzzling cars, metal music etc is an expression of that. It didn't hurt anyone. If the LGBTQ.... whatever the hell letters in the alphabet can be who they are and want to be praised for it why can't we? ...

BidenLadysMan:
Liberals are terrified of that catching on but it is.

ColorStorm:
The idea isn't that masculinity is toxic. There's masculinity, and then there's toxic masculinity. I think the toxic part is cultural, it's learned, or at least it's what masculinity degrades into in the lack of superior role models. Re beating kids up named Todd, some people never recover from childhood bullying. Probably most of them it's at least a thorn in their psyche forever.

ColorStorm:
Greta is a hero, IMO, for standing up for what's important, trying to change the world, she's doing something most people don't. As for the left wing whoring her out and her having no opinion that's truly her own, that sounds like a right-wing fantasy. I'd have to see the evidence.

BidenLadysMan:
The evidence of Greta being manipulated is very clear. There are a few videos out there of her not being able to even properly defend her point of view. She couldn't even explain her position.

BidenLadysMan:
She didn't know any of the statistics on climate change. She didn't know or want to admit all the good American industry has done for the climate. That we have some of the cleanest technology.

BidenLadysMan:
She didn't confront China who are the biggest polluters on the planet.. she couldn't debate anyone on the subject because it's not her own. She is a puppet rattling off talking points. That it. Calling her a hero, while it is your opinion and you're welcomed to it. Is offensive. It's offensive to call her a hero. Heroes risk their lives for something. That's not her. She doesn't even get attention anymore. We've given her more attention than she's had in yrs.

BidenLadysMan:
With the topic of masculinity. Do you think bullying is exclusive to men? Are you kidding?! Women are the biggest bullies around. They are relentless to eachother. They even bully men because usually they can't get hit. Though not always. The extreme wacko left things ALL masculinity is toxic. They don't separate what is or isn't. It all his in their mind. All strength is dangerous to the very extreme left.

(Cover your ears LaDamaX😜) It's back to school week for the youngins and again I cannot express how relieved I am to never have to set foot in a classroom ever again. Like UGH what a relief. In NY school starts in the middle of the week. Because school doesn't exist to teach children. Lol noo, not even close,.no, school exists to crush a child's hopes, and dreams. Creativity is destroyed. What better way to do it than let you enjoy the summer a hair more, than rip it away! They strip away all your Individuality and spit you out into the world a nice corporate drone. To spend, buy, work in the Salt mines,. Never question anything, have kids so they can go back in the school system and start the cycle all over again until the end of time. Leaving you to lead a dull, dry life until you die🙄🤮 Yea, no thanks. I was working at 14, barely went to school anymore anyway, 16 rolled around. Truant officer came along (yes they're real) and told me. You either have to comeback to school or quit. At that point,.my dad was dead when I was 14, I'm pretty much the bread winner in my household. 🖕🖕Bye🤣 And I walked out. It took me yrs to regain my love of learning. So good luck at school you little idiots, glad I'm jot in your shoes 🤣😊😘

The second one was an overall test of everything you learned that yr and that made me so nervous. They did that on purpose they made it sound like we would executed if we failed. It was nerve racking and very unnecessary stress for kids

Have you noticed how ugly new buildings are? We use to build beautiful cathedrals and now, Really ugly and very similar looking. Big blocky glass skyscrapers. I think that like everything else is by design. "They" want every building in ever city to look exactly alike with no unique beauty to it. Ah, libs destroyed NY I'll move to Philadelphia. It's all the same, they look the same. Starbucks is there, we're good. Though libs destroyed Philly too but you get my meaning😝 Why do you think "they" are letting fat women be models? Beauty by definition is unique, one of a kind. If you look like every other fat ass woman on the street you're not unique. Go to any female body builder's IG page. Or a fitness model's what are the 1st few comments you see. 1st you see a bunch of simps, who are the least harmful. The other 90% are haters. And you look further you'll see alot of men and more than enough women. The men, mostly are fat, ugly and alone, and IF they have a girlfriend she's fat and ugly, questioning his pronouns 😆. And the women haters are fat, ugly bull dykes who will NEVER look like that. They punish beauty. You have to struggle for it. Feminists hate that.

ColorStorm:
The liberals are responsible for making all the buildings look exactly alike? Sounds like a likely case of blaming the party you hate for everything you don't like

Just go to your drab building, do you drab job, come home and bang your fat drab wife who was male for a few yrs.. some future 😆😒

[https://twitter.com/thewayoulookt/status/1694800054102425965] Seems like it's a Turkish wedding, and we've got the bride having a dance with her dad. So, some people are chatting about how the bride's choice of shoes isn't really jiving with the rest of her outfit. Do you have set ideas about what the bride should wear in your culture? Just curious!

ColorStorm:
What people wear at a wedding is a really petty, small-minded thing to care strongly about. It probably goes hand in hand with being a huge gossiper. And weddings are a dumb idea to begin with, I couldn't care less about them. Marriage itself is built upon a huge farce (that you can know that you'll still love someone decades from now, till the day you die), which is why around 50% of marriages end in divorce and a huge percentage of people still married are basically at constant war with each other. And caring a lot about the ceremony is counterproductive in itself, since there's a statistical correlation between extravagance of a wedding and early divorce.

ColorStorm:
The last time I literally bit my tongue was yesterday or the day before, while I was asleep. I seem to always do it right when my dream is about to become totally incoherent resulting in total confusion, waking me up, so I guess there's some intelligent force involved in making me bite my tongue. But I know you meant figuratively (since you mentioned that in a comment), so, I think the last time was yesterday. I do it all the time, because my first instinct is to argue with people when they say something that's wrong, but I don't because that would just result in a drawn-out argument in which neither side ends up changing the other side's mind. And usually the other person isn't worth it anyway.

Andy:
What are your thoughts on marriage? (i.e. if its the best expression on love, what makes a good ceremony etc.)

ColorStorm:
Marriage kills romance. I guess it's something about the taking of each other's presence for granted. It's also based on a farce, the idea that you can know what your heart will desire for the rest of your life. They call marriage "tying the knot" because both sides are choosing to "handcuff" the other to them, removing some of their agency (i.e., ability to easily separate) for security, for fear that the other might otherwise leave them. It's also predicated on strict monogamy, which defies the obvious truth that true love isn't possessive, but rather grants the other total freedom rather than restricting their hearts from sharing love (or their libido from sharing sex) with whomever they choose. As for the ceremony, I think the intelligent thing to do, if you're going to get married, is to save that money for the future rather than having an extravagant wedding ceremony. I've also read of a study that showed that the more of a big deal the wedding ceremony is, the shorter the marriage lasts, statistically. Though I think I've also read of a study that showed the opposite, so who knows.

I've only stopped watching two movies part way through in my life. One was Gummo, it was so gritty and boring I couldn't take it, or at least didn't see a point. The other was The Usual Suspects, all the characters in it were so depraved that I didn't want to corrupt my heart any further by watching them. I hate how so many Hollywood movies glorify evil.

BidenLadysMan:
Yea The Usual Suspects, that's a tough thing to watch. They are sick asf. I don't remember it well, but I think they do lose at the end. You're right though Hollywood has been lately featuring alot of anti-heroes. Basically straight up bad guys who are being somewhat glorified. I think there's room for it now and then but they are flooding the market with it now. I don't remember the last movie I stopped midway. I usually just grit and bare it. A TV show I will absolutely stop watching if it bores me.😁

They originally sought money for the same reason most other people do, and as it fails to bring them happiness, the only solution they see is making more money. They have tunnel vision. Or?

I just had a dream where my neighborhood was completely urbanized with wider streets, better traffic signalization and apartment buildings. What does that mean? Is my brain predicting the far future?

ColorStorm:
Maybe, but it more likely pertains to something personal to you that changed recently, has been changing, or will change (probably sooner than later). Or possibly an event that happened, but probably a change. The key to interpreting dreams is to notice how they make you feel, and then relate that to possibilities or known things in your real life. Personally, I don't know how to interpret this one, except that it seems like maybe it's a spiritual breather/expansion/improvement for you or maybe a change in fortune. Or maybe you *expect* a change in fortune because you've been thinking of investing, such as i shorting GameStop.

American/Canadian expats being in Germany are baffled by the following cultural differences: Germans are so direct/blunt it borders on rudeness, everybody is so silent and calm and you feel embarrassed by your normal loudness in comparison. To be honest the only thing I heard expats complain about was the lack of service everywhere. Know more? Do you have some experience? Prejudices even? Please share!

ColorStorm:
I've read a couple of times that in Walmarts in Germany, employees were instructed to smile at, greet, be nice to, etc. customers, and Germans didn't like it because it seemed so fake, or they mistook the employees' smiles, etc. as them coming onto them. Regarding Americans' loud voices, I think that's more of an American thing than low voices is a particularly German thing. My then-girlfriend visited me here in the US from Norway in 2006, and she said Americans all spoke really loud, or at least American guys did, as if to impose their manliness or whatever.

Kate:
Yess! I remember when we visited a steak house in Detroit and the host of that evening came to our table and welcomed us in a way we felt instantly disgusted. The fakeness, the lying, the improper forced intimacy he tried, the expectation of getting warm reactions from our side.

Kate:
The feeling of being not up to so much social pressure as a customer. Then he vanished. The head waitress then came and smashed our plates in front of us as if we were pigs. LOL! The contrast between ritual fake manners and the complete lack of those! Awesome! As for the loudness I must say I never found this to be a matter for me.

Idk if this is a common idea or if I'm a genius for thinking of it. It could solve alot of problems I think, you can see if your kid is paying attention in class, if there are fights in class it can solve those. It can make sure the teachers are doing the right thing. It can give parents a chance to be more involved in their child's education. If your kid is falling behind in math we can pull up the math class and see why, oh you're not paying attention, you're a fuck up, or your teacher just spent the whole math period teaching why your penis is evil. We may need to talk with her tomorrow morning. Its win win😆

Andy:
A woman with a baby daughter has gone viral after stating she will never let her daughter be on her own with any men. What are your thoughts on this?

ColorStorm:
That's really sucky. If she upholds that (and she wasn't just saying that for the attention), and her daughter doesn't turn out to be a lesbian, she'll never be able to experience sex and maybe not anything sensual until she's at least 18 (and hopefully her mom wouldn't sabotage her ability to move out from under her care so she can continue to control her), which completely against human nature and primal desire. (I mean, yeah, technically, she, her mom, and her boyfriend could all agree for her and her boyfriend to have sex while their mom watches, but I doubt that's what's going to happen.) I understand her mom's apprehension, men are dangerous, but so is going outside, and this is like not allowing your child ever to go outside because it's dangerous. Or, maybe more likely, the mother is just infused with society's ill-founded puritanism, which is really dumb on her part (and on the parts of hundreds of millions if not billions of others). But anyway, as bad as this mother is, there are many, many, many cases of horrible parenting that are much worse than this in their own ways.

ColorStorm:
Oh, I read a couple of others' answers.. I should have given more likelihood to the third option, that it wasn't to go viral and it wasn't out of puritanism, it was that the summary was highly misleading.=P Also I didn't think about the daughter sneaking out to be with boys but that's irrelevant now.

No, it's harmless, it's nobody else's business if what they do is "weird," let them have their fun. Why enforce totally unnecessary, judgmental, imposing cultural norms, robbing people of things they love/like, just for the sake of conformity? The only valid reason to try to get them to stop doing it is if they don't realize that making everyone else think they're weird has very deleterious social implications for them. And even in that case it's highly debatable.

Especially when the idea is to escape the dying of the Earth, which I wrote an essay on ( https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2023/05/02/mars-isnt-planet-b/ ), but also as an idea to start over, given (a) how monumentally difficult it is, and (b) the fact that humanity will inevitably carry all of its ingrained cultural problems with it and/or create new ones.

Danger:
Should anything that promotes killing people get banned? Are you happy with the current situation ?

ColorStorm:
Guns should be banned, even for police (except for special units, like in England). There should be a lot less military spending. Nuclear weapons should be banned but there's no good way to do that with the arms races. Not sure how I feel about hate speech, I like free speech, but hate speech is pretty bad and tends to serve no positive purpose. (note that I don't consider voicing an opinion against a certain group or choices hate speech like the manipulative politicians seem to. i'm talking about advocating killing, etc.)

Danger:
Religion wanna kill people. It should be banned from Google and YouTube at least

Danger:
Guns don't promote killing people, it's the ideas, homophobia, racism, ignorance etc

ColorStorm:
There are too many religious people who would have a fit if any platform banned religion. It would be a total shitshow. A total PR disaster.

Danger:
So we get to blame Google anyway

filialunae:
how do you achieve being ✨unbothered✨ especially in the context of peoples judgements of you?

ColorStorm:
One thing I've thought might work is to consciously make sure you always have the best intentions in everything you do/say. That way, if someone has a problem with you, you know it's on them. I don't remember how much success I've had or not have with that. Another way, which has definitely worked for me in the past, and also works wonders outside the context of others' judgments, into the context of your own, possibly unconscious self-judgment, is to psychically, maybe somewhat figuratively/creatively, shine a light down into your mind from the top of your head, searching for any and all negative thoughts/beliefs you may have about yourself, then dissolving or changing them. I actually used it the other month when a bunch of people on Twitter were implying I should kill myself. Not only was I unbothered, it made my aura white, the purest, possibly most awake aura color. (I felt that it must have been white, so I asked my friend who used to be psychic and read auras what color my aura was, without any kind of priming, and he said it was white.) I've written more about that here - https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/08/31/non-negativity/ - but it was a few years ago, and I haven't read it since, so I'm not sure how good or relevant it is.

Kate:
Our local public swimming pool and park changed the rules for swimwear. They state that you are obliged to wear swimwear which is defined as: wear at least a pant. This now is gender equal. Before that girls were obliged to define swimwear as e.g. a bikini or bathing suit. That obviously violated the equality of rules and now we girls can be topless or in full gear as we chose or like. Only pants are a must. No nudes. - Opinions?

ColorStorm:
1) it's dumb to require equality of rules when men and women are different - women obviously have erogenous organs in places where men don't 3) it's dumb to have any rules at all regarding what people can wear. seeing naked bodies is just natural, it won't hurt anyone. it's simply puritanism/sexophobia.

Kate:
You probably would be astonished to learn where I have erogenous spots on my body that are on public display without anybody suspecting it.

Kate:
Do you sleep in a dark and sheltered room or more openly so the sun can enter each morning? More on the chill side or more on the warm and cosy side?

ColorStorm:
It's been really hot in Fl lately, and our insulation isn't that great, so it's usually hot in my room. Well, maybe colder at night. I used to have a fair amount of sunlight coming in in the morning, I have a huge window, but lately we've put on a Bahama shutter outside my window and I got a screen that blocks like 90% of the light, and I also have a pretty curtain, so not much light gets in anymore. That doesn't mean I sleep in darkness, though, I often/usually have my lights on.

Kate:
Do you have the lights on for psychological reasons or is there a another reason?

ColorStorm:
inhahe less than a minute ago It's a little of both. Sometimes I just prefer the lights on, it's more lively or darkness is depressing or something, sometimes it's just because I never know when I'm just going to lie down for a while or when I'm actually going to sleep, so I don't bother to turn the lights off. Or I just rarely think of it either way.

ColorStorm:
Also I have several color-changing lights in my room that are fairly bright. One is on almost all the time, so even if I shut my ceiling lights off there'll still be light. I have others that used to be on a lot, too, but they recently all fell off the wall. =P

Kate:
As a child I needed lights on all the time to find sleep. I did fear the night and the dark. For me the dark was the hiding place for all my fears, panics, demons and nightmares. Later on I did learn about waht humans can do and I learned that the demons I feared to hide under my bed where out there, in the daylight. So I learned to like the nighttime. Less humans on their way, less zombies, less danger, less demons.

Kate:
I learned when I was out late a safe place to rest and have a nap in case I missed the last bus was a cemetery. No other humans dare to go there due to fearing the dead. Once I slept on a heap of straw there. When I awoke early in the morning I met some early mass visitors who were a bit.. shocked.. to meet a witch live on a sunday! Haha!

ColorStorm:
Haha. I was afraid the dark when I was a kid, too, but not because of what I feared was in it. I was only afraid of *total* darkness, because if there wasn't any point of light anywhere, I couldn't be sure whether my eyes still worked. I cried all night in a motel room once, much to the frustration of my relatives, because it was completely dark. Actually I think I had that fear a lot longer than for just my childhood. Not sure if I still have it, I'm rarely ever in complete darkness. =P

ColorStorm:
Whoa, just a second after posting that, I went to Twitter and the first tweet I saw was this: https://twitter.com/WICKED_Queen12/status/1700874992148206043 (it mentions both "fear the dark" and staying alone in a cemetery at night). I'd think it's just targeted advertising, but I doubt that decodes the contents of images. Maybe it's based on the responses.

BidenLadysMan:
Musk may remove the block button from twitter/X. Apparently the most blocked person on the platform is himself😆 He got upset that Biden's tweet about football got more impressions than one of his tweets so he blames the block button. Do you like the idea of banning the block button? Musk is just Richie Rich now right? He can buy all his friends, he can change the world according to his every whim. 🤣

ColorStorm:
On one hand, it'll result in a lot more undue harassment of individuals by other individuals, and I think a lot more users will leave the platform if he does that, and like that other guy said, it seems like he's doing everything in his power to destroy Twitter. On the other hand, I think people are waaaaay too flippant with the block button. Disagree with someone? Erase them permanently from your world. It's like they have no faith or investment in their fellow man. So I lowkey kinda like the idea.

BidenLadysMan:
I see both sides too. I've always looked at the block button as a sign of surrender. If someone blocked me in an argument (which was often😁) I considered that a win. On the other hand I used the block button occasionally to stop really annoying idiots. I think Musk is just having a tantrum discovering he's not as popular as he thinks. X is a pedo den now.. it looks like hell there tbh🙂

BidenLadysMan:
Honestly not using the block button is why I got kicked off Twitter. I got in a big argument with someone claiming to be a woman anyway, we argued three days over something I can't remember. Then she started to stalk the few followers I had. You'd think that would have resulted in her getting booted but no, she's a woman and I'm a man, so off with my head🙄 I just got banned from Instagram so that's an accomplishment 😆

I wrote them up here: https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/07/12/the-meaning-of-magic/ I actually also have some basic ideas about magick/occult rituals, I think they more or less all boil down to manipulating your mind/subconscious to come to a particular belief/expectation in order to realize it. Also manipulating unconscious archetypes, because they're powerful. And energy manipulation, for example using orgasms in chaos magick.

I don't think time will necessarily make you not care about the answers because you're more mature or enlightened or something, but just because it wears you down and dulls you to the point you no longer care, or at least it simply changes your mind like everything else changes so that the context is no longer there to support your curiosity about whatever subjects while hopefully you generate new subjects of curiosity which will then go unanswered until you no longer care. =P

Is burning different than melting? Or it's same.

ColorStorm:
They're different. Burning is oxidization, the substance chemically bonds with oxygen and becomes a different chemical. And you'll notice that burning is a chain reaction, it provides its own heat to continue burning, whereas melting requires an outside heat source. Melting doesn't change the molecular makeup, just changes it from a solid to a liquid.

I just asked my mom, she says maybe 6 or 7 years.

When I sift through social media with questions the two most given answers are. IDK and IDC. Conclusion: people are careless and dumb. Hence there is the sort of society we got. Am I right?

ColorStorm:
Q: What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? A: I don't know and I don't care. Idk, to me, stupidity and evil are the two biggest causes of problems and suffering in society, but dumbness/stupidity is actually relative. To a hamster, humans are super smart. To someone of above-average intelligence like you and me, most humans are dumb. And, of course, probably most humans of average intelligence think most other humans are dumber than them... As for carelessness, people don't seem particularly careless to me, by and large, but I suppose more carefulness wouldn't hurt in a lot of cases. But if you consider disregard for others to be carelessness, then yeah, carelessness is a big problem.

Kate:
I meant carelessness in the latter meaning, like when people stand by and watch others to suffer and going to hell while doing nothing and claiming it is none of their business. The IDC and IDK abbreviations are so prevalent it's getting on my nerves.

I don't get the poetical connection between lying and someone's nose growing, seems kind of random. Also, I don't remember the story much. Though I remember Pinocchio was wooden and wanted to be a real boy, and that really resonated with me. I always wanted to be a real person with a real life.

Who are the most annoying neighbors you’ve ever had? (If you can’t think of any, it’s because it was probably you. 😆)

ColorStorm:
We had some neighbors a couple of houses down, a lawyer and idk, who would call the police on us for things like having a garage sale, once they lied and said we had one every week (you can only have so many a year here), when it was the first one we'd had all year. The daughter was pretty cute, though.

I don't remember. I did just see a clip of them the other month for the first time in like 35 years or something... I don't remember exactly what I thought, I think it was that one of the actors was pretty good, and that there was surprisingly more to the plot than simply them hitting each other, and also I wasn't sure how they did the special effects at that time.

what was your opinion on the teenage mutant ninja turtles?

ColorStorm:
When it first came out, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous because of the title of the show, like they were just coming up with whatever random elements they could and slapping them together. I guess my view has changed since then, probably just to not giving a f\*ck. Anyway, the show was okay, I was never that into it. I liked one of the first movies, I didn't like the way the turtles looked in later movies.

German word of the day: Streuselkuchen. It means a cake baked with yeast dough with a generous topping of crumble. It is eaten in a warm state fresh from the baking tray out of the oven. It is a composite word made up from the term "Streusel" that means crumble and "Kuchen" meaning cake. Simply crumble-cake. The term shows how in the German language descriptive terms are fused together to form a new word and noun. Questions?

If you're on Tik Tok, I bet you have seen those NPC lives because they seem so trendy now...what are your thoughts about them? Is this what people who developed the new technologies, internet and social media had in mind when they started it all. Is this meant to be human evolution? Please, let me know.

ColorStorm:
It would be unfair to judge human evolution by the most objectionable outliers. (As for whether there really is any human/cultural progress overall, I have no idea.) I think they're just popular because they're hypnotizing or mind-bending or something. For example, here's an excerpt from Forbes: '“Feeling my brain reconfigure after I watch this for the 30th time,” one user tweeted with a video of popular NPC streamer Cherry Crush.' As for the people who perform it, I think it's all about the $$$. One person was ingenious enough to discover/invent a goldmine in the realm of psychosocial allure, and dozens of other people followed. Pinkydoll, for example, makes $7000 a day doing it. (Don't know offhand if she was the inventor of it.) Other than that, what Arthur said.

ColorStorm:
You can blame Google if you were expecting them to protect you from such things, but you can also blame the scammers, and I think they're the main ones who should be blamed. I wouldn't blame the scammed, having low intelligence isn't a crime or a choice.

ColorStorm:
What other people said about it being hypocritical and statistically not even a deterrent. (Here's something I read once: crimes rates actually increase slightly on days when someone is executed.) Besides that, one time when I was in grade school the teacher had us stand on one side if we were for the death penalty and on the other side if we were against it. Almost everyone stood on the "for" side. I stood on the "against" side. The teacher asked some of us why we're for or against it. My answer was that we don't even fully understand life or death, so we shouldn't be playing around with it like we're God.

Nasal piercings on men? Not sure why, but I find attractive. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ColorStorm:
Septum piercings are gross AF, I honestly don't understand how people can think it's attractive to look like cattle. But then I don't understand how they can think eyebrows that look like crude MS Paint drawings can be attractive, either. The other kind of nose piercing isn't as bad, but is still kinda gross. It's not just because I've been programmed to accept ear piercings and not nose piercings as Yeets says, it's actually objectively grosser. Ears are more peripheral to the face/head than the nose; they have a lot more area that lends itself to being pierced, especially since the typical area is just a seemingly useless protrusion of thick, soft skin; and the piercings are more inconspicuous/"natural" in the ear because of the ear's high level of contour. Or something, I don't know.

Or if the person in the picture was a guy and the friend was gay I'd ignore it. If the bottom was a guy and the friend wasn't gay I'd maybe think it was a mistake, or maybe I'd wonder.

Why does it feel so good when we know we are right and other people are wrong? Is that a bad thing?

ColorStorm:
I'm always vacillating between "I KNOW that I know that I know that I'm right" and "Everybody always thinks they're right, even the ones who are wrong..." I mean it's hard to keep my head on straight and know that I've always been right about everything in the face of the truth-relativism of the world.. Also, what cLOUD said. Other people being wrong and me being unable to convince that they're wrong always frustrates me.

fizzyarthur:
It only feels good when you don't care about the people who are wrong, or you get some advantage out of their ignorance. It's basically egoism, and that's why I asked the question.

ColorStorm:
Hmm, I guess I can't bring myself to feel good about being right when everybody always thinks they're right. It seems too self-gratuitous. I'd have to prove that I'm right somehow, which is impossible. Also when others being wrong annoys me for some reason. I can't get any satisfaction out of others being wrong, I wish everyone were right and sensible.

What does it take to annoy you?

ColorStorm:
I just recently got very annoyed by seeing two instances of the same type of error within the same couple of minutes. It's alarming how common this error is, because it indicates a lack of basic grasp of grammatical logic. I don't understand how people can be so dim. Surely if more people grasped basic logic we'd live in a better world. Anyway, here are the two errors I found: - "Anyway, he is one of the coolest person i know." - "This is the only case I know about of a prey indirectly eliminating one of his predator." When you say "one of," obviously what follows it should be plural. Why would you say one of one thing? You say one of several.

LaDamaX:
Perhaps English is not their first language?

ColorStorm:
Perhaps, but I see this particular mistake *all the time*, even in texts that don't really indicate that English may not be their first language. And even if it's not, it seems like a matter of basic logic which they should be able to apprehend regardless just from knowing the meanings of the words they're using.

German word of the day: Hosenscheisser. It is a vulgar expression. A noun. It means a person pooping their own trousers. It used to mean a toddler or little child but is an insult meant for adults who behave childish and silly and who are not mature and serious. It is a compound expression fusing the word "Hosen" (trousers) and "Scheisser"(pooper). But it is also meant as a loving though sarcastic expression for a child you like. So beware using it! Any requests for German words you like?

Kate:
How do you define the start of being civilised as a country or region? We know that cavemen more than 10000 years ago had art and techniques but people do not judge them as civilised. For me being civilised starts with the invention of soap and hot water to care for a clean body and with philosophy as a means to be neat inside as well. You?

ColorStorm:
Mankind has yet to produce a civilized society.

Kate:
Which would require a more narrow set of genetics instead of such a broad and error prone setup where imbeciles are a natural aspect of the population?

ColorStorm:
With a lot of patience, maybe most people can be nurtured into decency, especially with an entirely different (more evolved) culture surrounding them. I'm not sure. But, even if being civilized does require differences in the genepool, I don't think it necessarily has to be more narrow. I think aggression, selfishness, crudeness, and baseness are the main problems, and I think aggression specifically can just be removed. The others are mainly cultural phenomena. I think without the others, stupidity (as in

ColorStorm:
"imbeciles") wouldn't really be a problem. Selfishness, on the other hand, may be a problem that requires specific genetic coding *against* it (I guess thus making the genepool more narrow, at least in that particular domain), because selfishness seems like it's probably a natural outcome of the fact that we can only feel our own emotions by default and see the universe from our ourselves outward thus entailing self-centeredness.

Kate:
Isn't it interesting that nature made man selfish to survive in order to make the species survive?

ColorStorm:
Maybe insofar as selfishness is actually coded for in our genes, it's more a reflection on the pressure of fitness on the individual than on the species? Maybe if everyone regarded everyone as just as important as themselves, the species would thrive a lot more, but unfortunately survival of the fittest works just as much on level of an individual's genes as on the gene pool?

Kate:
You should now point out to me that the latter isn't a given and we have to wait and see how long and how far this species will live at all given that the outlook is bleak. or isn't it?

What are your thoughts on the viral Las Vegas restaurant 'Heart Attack Grill'? That lets those over 350lbs eat for free, sells the most calorific foods (according to Guinness book of World Records) and openly states that their food will kill you (several people have indeed died at the premises).

ColorStorm:
Funny, I just watched a 10-minute video on it earlier today. I think the people who eat there are really dumb. Why would you compromise your health/risk your life like that just to satisfy your tastebuds for 5 minutes? Is it just to rebel against the "take care of yourself" regime? Still fucking stupid. Unless they're suicidal, but even then, death isn't the only possible negative outcome of doing such a thing. Also, they're mindless for fetishizing eating meat which causes immense animal suffering and environmental degradation. As for the owner, he's very direct and honest about the fact that he profits off of the attention the restaurant gets every time someone dies because of it and that it makes him happy. Some people love him for his honesty, but I don't know, he seems a little too greedy/discompassionate toward others. Honesty doesn't always make up for immorality or bad character or whatever (hard to say it's immoral per se, as they're all consenting adults, besides the meat-eating aspect). And maybe he's just honest because he's a sociopath? So sure, like Sean says, let's not nanny their behavior, but that doesn't stop me from judging them.

Do you ever have problems to keep a conversation going?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I've never been good at conversation--I mean I'm so bad at it that my mom has tried many times to give me pointers like "ask follow-up questions" and "don't just give yes-or-no answers," etc.--but that's because I've never been interested in the kinds of things people tend to talk about: small talk, etc. And I can't even say that I've *never* been good at conversation because in my early 20s there were girls that I'd talk to on the phone literally all night (no idea what we talked about) (though I think my only motivation for talking to them was probably sex, kissing, etc., which I never got to do). Also I have become more socially graceful/normal over the years (at least online), but I can't really say for sure if I'm better at conversation than I used to be because I don't really fall into/put myself into situations where I would have to try to keep one going nowadays. I just post on Q&A sites (Retrospring, Quora) and Twitter (where you hardly need the attention span of a gnat) and write essays. Oh, wait, actually I do have a couple of friends that I chat with regularly. Usually conversation drops off pretty quickly, but with one of them I've talked for hours with sometimes. The other I talk to a lot more frequently, many times a day (on the days that I'm awake), but it seems to be in small spurts.

ColorStorm:
And I have another friend that always comes up with clever/entertaining little responses for things and I can usually come up with a response but sometimes I just feel like there's nothing to respond with. Though back in the day I used to talk to him a lot, lots of back and forth.

Your take on candy corn? If you don’t have candy corn in your country, what is a candy that people are clearly divided on— either really like or really hate?

ColorStorm:
Candy corn isn't that great. I don't think it's a candy people are divided on here, everybody unanimously hates it. But we don't hate it as much as circus peanuts. I'm not sure what candy we're divided over...hmm... Oh, I know, maybe licorice. Though I tend to see more people hating it than liking it, for some reason. I love it.

BobOmbMonkey:
I love it too!

LaDamaX:

BobOmbMonkey:

I was the one who liked it, Dama was the one who 🤢'd

Would you like to be an influencer?

ColorStorm:
Yes.

ColorStorm:
Mainly just so that people would read my essays. I want to change the way people think. Also the popularity would be nice, to be known...but it really wouldn't because I'd have to be so fake to be so popular. It might get me some good sex and/or a girlfriend, though, that would be nice. And the money..

Are Retropsring notifications buggy for you?

ColorStorm:
Yes, they've been buggy for months. - It will show that there are notifications, and I'll click on the icon, and it'll say there's no notifications. I have to click on "show all notifications" to see them. - When I read the notifications, the icon keeps indicating that there's new notifications. I have to click on "mark all as read" for it to clear. It didn't used to be that way.

Yeah... It used to work way earlier. So I'm not the only one then

Sometimes I feel as if I am a butterfly with big fake eyes on my wings mimicking an owl face. Then there are people shouting: Crows are bad luck! Kill it! - No wonder my personal opinion about many of my fellow humans is at an all time low. - You?

I was just thinking earlier this morning about how most humans seem weird and dumb to me and I feel like I'm on a foreign planet. Nowadays I tend to just chalk it up to Sturgeon's law: ninety percent of everything is crap.

Proposal: We made smoking tobacco a socially awkward and disgusting habit and outlawed it to boot. In the name of health. That transition only took 20 years from a generally acceptable public habit of everybody to a crime. Now why the fuck cannot we do the same with climate ruining habits?

ColorStorm:
Smoking is a very specific, limited aspect of life compared to what would have to be changed to make human lifestyles sustainable. The compromises would have to be broad, immense and profound. People are, of course, too dumb, shortsighted and insulated to ever realize how necessary this is, so they'll never be willing to put up with the extreme inconvenience. There's also the problem that the rich get richer off of economy activity, which would have to generally be drastically lowered, and the rich of course use their power and influence to corrupt government and prevent it from implementing necessary regulations.

arman:
In your ethical framework, assuming you have one, is it considered acceptable to price a product well above its production cost, potentially taking advantage of customers who may not be fully informed about the true cost, in order to maximize profit? Do you incorporate any moral considerations into your profit maximization strategies?

ColorStorm:
I think anything that's misleading or preys on ignorance is unethical. In this case, it's the customer's ignorance of the true cost. Also, I think profiteering in general is unethical. Selling something for way above its production cost isn't an extremely unethical example, but it's kind of unethical. It's just another example of the rich using their riches to get more rich and increase the already atrocious wealth imbalance.

ColorStorm:
Oh, God, that character was such a cringingly cheesy caricature of a person. I can't believe so many people liked him. They must be infantile, at least in some respect. It's been a long time since I've seen him, but I think seeing him might actually be a psychically painful experience for me. Though it was interesting to see the actor play a real character in a real movie (or was it a TV show episode?) once. Just like a normal guy, except he had a rather oddly shaped face.

When it came out I thought it was extremely stupid and taking advantage of babies/young kids lack of development/discernment.

Nowadays I'm not really sure.

what was your opinion on pee wee herman?

ColorStorm:
I liked him. I saw him as primarily a children's TV show actor, but I think a lot of adults liked his show too. I've read that he had a lot of adult jokes in his show that would go right over children's heads. I I've also read that the show started out as a show for watching while you're high, with lots of drug references, but the kids like it so much the network pushed him to turn it into more of a kids' show. But I also read something that seemed to contradict that story, so I don't know. I loved Pee-wee's Big Adventure and I think Big Top Pee-wee. I think he was also in a Cheech and Chong movie and I liked him in that, though it's not showing up on IMDB. I think he was a great entertainer. I was never really into his show, though.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, and I think I read that he was a great guy in real life, too. Either way, he seemed like the type who would be.

Is it healthy to have heroes or people we idolize?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I guess heroes are like role models, and it's apparently important to have role models (hopefully one picks good ones). Idolization seems a bit extreme, and also unrealistic--it puts people on a pedestal that doesn't really represent their flawed, human nature. It seems adjacent to worship, which I don't believe in. It just seems like an imbalance to put another so far above you.

There is one thing that's nagging me about reason world events. Why are libs so against the Jewish people? It's an odd turn on the libreal's part because Jews almost exclusively vote democrat. The only thing I can make of it is so stupid I'm half kidding but maybe libreals HATE white people so much that they just lump Jewish people in with the rest of the white people? We're all white wretches according to them. Jewish people are simply lighter than Hamas🤷 Sounds pretty dumb but libs are pretty simple minded when you pin one down

ColorStorm:
I thought wokeism was staunchly opposed to antisemitism..

You would think it was that's why it's so odd.. I've been browsing the liberal talk shows. So like all of them😄 and they're pretty divided.

Fighter jet crashes near an apartment complex during Thunder over Michigan airshow finale at Willow Run. The pilot and the passenger successfully ejected before the crash. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Not much thought about this. I guess the stakes are pretty high at airshows just to impress a few people.

fizzyarthur:
Do you think the decision to eject was justified, considering the pilot could have led the plane to a safer place before crashing and normal planes don't even have such features?

ColorStorm:
Depends on how many people were killed / could have been killed and how likely they were to be killed. E.g., maybe they knew it would miss the apartment complex? Either way, I think the very strong impetus to eject is understandable even if a bit selfish. I see staying in the plane to save a few lives--even a bunch of lives--as more noble than natural.

Varies by person. I've seen a lot of attractive girls underestimate how attractive they are. Sometimes it's just for attention / to get an ego boost from others' reactions, but sometimes it's genuine. I guess it comes down to us being our own worst enemy, and also that we tend to pay more attention to people insulting us than praising us. And that flaws are more localized and specific and hence more overt than beauty. I've also seen ugly girls think they're all that, but that's less common. I don't really see guys' appraisals of their own looks that much. Well, I've seen some guys say they're ugly, but they probably really are ugly.

dd86k:
How much do you know about processors?

ColorStorm:
A little bit. I know they work on logic gates, which are groups of transistors with terminals that output true/false values (-5v versus 0v or something like that) based on the true/false values of their inputs according to a "truth table." logic gates with two inputs and one output can be nand (true if not both inputs are true), nor (true if both input are false), and (true if both inputs are true), xnor (true if both inputs are true or neither is true), or (true if either input is true or both are true), or xor (true if one input is true but not both). There are a couple of other possibilities for two-input-one-output, but they're not used because they're trivial, basically just a pass-through. The logic gates are made of transistors, which are PnP junctions, which are doped materials in a sandwich that use quantum-mechanical principles to work. Basically, when a voltage is applied to the center of the sandwich, it allows voltage to pass from one outer layer to the other if there's any applied. I know fast processors are made with lasers shining through etchings, the resistors and connections are extremely small (just a few nanometers), and there tens of millions of them in a PC processor, but of course there are also much simpler processors, for example embedded ones. I know there are two basic kinds of processors: RISC (reduced instruction set) and CISC (complex instruction set) and PCs are CISC but RISC is more efficient even though they support fewer opcodes, because of the speed/complexity tradeoff. I know processors work on a clock cycle, and most operations nowadays take one clock cycle on a PC, though it depends on branch prediction hits or misses and cache hits or misses. The clock cycle is modulated by a crystal. On a PC it's a couple of gigahertz. Basically, during one cycle all the outputs and inputs are done CPU-wide, then the next cycle works on the results of the previous cycle. PC processors make use of three levels of cache, I think, L1, L2, and L3. Each level has a size/speed tradeoff. The first level is in the processor itself (and maybe the second level? idr). They also use registers, which are like variables but there's a fixed number of them. Nowadays, at least on PCs, registers are allocated behind the scenes to some random available memory slot, mostly opaquely to the programmer. A PC processor usually has somewhere between 2 and 8 cores, which are basically complete, separate processors on the same die for parallel execution. (They can share memory.) There is some redundancy baked into CPUs because the fabrication process is imperfect, so if some part of it is bad the CPU can still work. A CPU has a section dedicated to fetching opcodes, one for decoding opcodes, and one for delegating parts of the CPU to the task according to what the opcodes are (or maybe that's just two sections or one section, idk). When possible, a modern PC CPU will actually delegate one instruction to one part of the CPU core and another instruction to another part in order to execute two instructions at once. This is called hyperthreading. Because of hyperthreading, CPUs report being able to handle twice as many threads as there are cores. Some of the terminals going into a CPU are for interrupt requests, which is when a hardware event triggers the CPU to execute a certain function. For example, ever time you hit a key on your keyboard, that generates an interrupt so that your OS can know you did it. Most of the rest of what I know about CPUs are about what opcodes are actually available (I've programmed in x86), and I'll skip that. Well, I'll say that they involve fetching memory, writing to memory, writing to and reading from hardware, and operating on register values. GPUs are processors too, and they're very different, though I know less about them. They can process many, many more instructions at once, though the processors are a little dumber, and they don't all simultaneously share some main memory, I think.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention (1) the various "rings" (protection levels of execution) of a processor, and (2) microcode.

ColorStorm:
Oh, and the fact that power consumption / heat generation increases with, I think, the fourth power of clock frequency, which is why they stopped making CPUs faster and started making them parallel

(Inspired by Scott) Do you care about audio bitrates?

ColorStorm:
Yes, very much so. I'm an audiophile. I know that the difference is barely perceptible, but I'm a purist by nature so I don't like the idea of my audio being subtly changed and degraded in ways that I don't notice (yet that still probably make a difference to some degree / on some level). I download my songs in .flac if I like them enough, my audio connection is fiber-optic, and my amp and speakers cost about $400 and $500 respectively.

Wieselmann:
Does technology make us suffer more than it makes us happy?

ColorStorm:
We've been immersed in technological society all our lives, so it's hard for us to see the matter objectively, but I believe it does. Another reason it's hard to see that it does is that the benefits are overt and immediate while the drawbacks are subtle and long-term, which is the same reason we continue to create and use technology despite its detrimental effects. We're always looking forward hopefully to future technology, because we're not satisfied with the present, and the reason we're not satisfied with the present is technology. Technology has been increasing rapidly over the past few decades. Depression has been increasing rapidly over the past few decades. Coincidence?

ColorStorm:
I disagree with the people who are saying the issue isn't technology but how we use it. It's like saying lax gun laws don't cause more murder, the way people use guns causes more murder. It's immaterial, because the reality is that, when we have technology, this is how we manifest it, even if it's \*theoretically possible\* to have technology in a way that doesn't hurt us. And, if there is such possible technology, it would be fundamentally different in nature \*and a lot more sparse\*.

Of course.

Difficult question: would you rather post a picture of your feet or a picture of your cooking setup?

DUST:
Let's say you start a relationship with someone and after one year, you discover that they're married. How would you react? What would you do?

ColorStorm:
Idk, I'm not worried much about the infidelity of it (on her part) because I don't believe in marriage, nor do I believe in the concept of "cheating." And as far as the fact of her dividing her love/attention/time between me and someone else goes, (a) I'm okay with polyamory, and (b) I'd already know however our relationship and its level of quality from having been with her for two years, the new information wouldn't change that (it's analogous to the parable of the fish who was disappointed to find out that the water he'd been swimming in all his life was actually something else). I guess the biggest worry would be that her husband would find out and would come shoot me. Oh well. =P I might consider trying to convince her to cut it off with her husband, at least/especially if they were in an unhappy marriage (which would likely be the case if she was cheating on him for two years), but I probably wouldn't.

Have you ever heard of Jean Webster's book Daddy Long Legs? When I was a child, I used to watch its cartoon series. I had forgotten about it until recently when I came across a tweet suggesting that the story contained elements that could be interpreted as "grooming." Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I haven't heard of it, but just the phrase "could be interpreted as" is a red flag that it's probably just that some trendy woke moron is searching diligently for things to interpret in such a way that they fit buzzword labels and to make problems out of them, given that that's such a common hobby nowadays.

I don't know enough about cars to say, but I think I heard that BMW maintenance/parts are way overpriced, and Audi seems to be the most popular of those nowadays, but there were some BMW models from a few years ago that looked cool af, especially the ones with the gills. I've actually owned a Mercedes, btw, I think it was a 250 or a 350 or some variation thereof. I never learned to drive it, though, stick shift was too hard. =P

Not necessarily. Perhaps in the afterlife or later, but not necessarily in this life.

So, if you have to convince yourself that you'll get paid later for doing good deeds, don't bother.

Do you think big boobs reflect chastity ?

I think if anything they correlate with promiscuity, because a certain percentage of big boobs are fake, and the only reason a lady would get fake boobs is to attract horny guys.

Do you think sucking big boobs intensively reduce their size. The procedure may take like a month and it should be daily ? Asking for a friend.

I doubt it, all you're going to suck out is the milk which is produced on the fly by the glands. Most of the boob is just fat and I guess those glands and the ducts.

It's the easiest language

ColorStorm:
It's easy if you grew up on it. I think to newcomers it's kind of hard since the same words can mean so many different things, and there are so many idioms, and the spelling and pronunciation of words is so inconsistent and arbitrary

Danger:
I grew up learning French and Turkish. English was like in my 17th year or so

fizzyarthur:
There's simply too much content available in english, too many ways to learn even when not trying to learn it directly, I'd say it's the easiest unless you're not familiar with the latin alphabet.

What is your thought process?

ColorStorm:
Just from observation, it seems most people in the world suffer more than they are happy, for reasons such as wage slavery, physical health, mental health, depression, government oppression, etc. So that's the suffering. The doom is that we're living completely unsustainably wrt the environment in more ways than just carbon emissions, and we're only going to do too little too late to stop it. If global warming doesn't get us, it'll be lack of oxygen, lack of plants and animals to eat, lack of top soil, lack

It was kind of disconcerting or a let-down that there were only 8 planets in the solar system instead of 9 when it happened, but nowadays I care even less, and either way I support the decision because it should be classified according to whatever's most accurate.

Wieselmann:
Do you think someone who is super smart and has a sufficient amount of time could figure out what the world is like just by thinking?

ColorStorm:
I think they could figure out some things, but not everything. Maybe most things they couldn't figure out, but also how much they can possibly deduce depends on how much they happen to observe. (They'd have to observe *some* amount of the world just to be a normal human.) The reason you can't figure out everything from first principles is that a lot of "the way the world is" is equivalent to "where you are in the universe/multiverse." I.e., it's to *some* degree true that, whatever you can think up, it's the case *somewhere* in the universe/multiverse, and the only way to know particularly "where you are" in that is empirically.

ColorStorm:
Another reason the only way to know most of it is empirically is that, to a large degree, the world develops into what it is stochastically.

Is an existence without poverty a right we all deserve?

ColorStorm:
It's not a "right" unless and until society decides it's a right. I don't believe in inherent, God-given rights...rights are afforded to you by the society you live in. If that weren't the case, they wouldn't change from time to time or differ from society to society, nor would they be debatable. I think, inasmuch as the word "deserves" means anything, everyone deserves happiness and fulfillment all the time, so if existence without poverty is what it takes for them to be happy and fulfilled, maybe they deserve that? And not to mention that it's pretty unfair to be born into a world where you have to slave away most of your waking life just to live decently. But whether everyone *should* be given the resources they need to live without poverty, whether they can and want to work or not, is a totally different question, for the simple reason that these resources can't be produced without many, many people slaving away to produce them. So, if people who don't work get said resources, they must live off the backs of other people. And if everyone could live free of poverty without having to work because it's a right given to them by the state, how many people would work? Would the people who continue to work anyway produce enough resources for all the rest to live off of? I doubt it. Maybe at best we could allow all people who don't work to have shelter, clothes, food & water, healthcare and other necessities but still exist in relative poverty so that enough people would still have the incentive to work, idk.

Kate:
Is a bra-less women a slut and why? or why not? Our receptioniste disapproved off a visitor due to that.

ColorStorm:
I don't really believe in the word "slut", I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman sleeping around, dressing sexually, etc. They're not hurting anybody, and if anything it's actually a blessing for men. If men have a problem seeing a woman's nipples stick out through her shirt, they're ultra-conservative, sexually repressed sticks in the mud.

LaDamaX:
Can one have too much empathy?

ColorStorm:
Having "too much" empathy may be inconvenient for the empathizer, but it's a beautiful thing, and it impels them to help those who are suffering. So, I'd say no. Ideally, everyone would have 100% empathy.

I've heard Portland, Oregon, but that was years ago.

Apparently it has has taken a dive? I’m not sure, but I have a friend who lives close to Portland and says it’s become San Francisco part 2.

ColorStorm:
Ah, maybe gentrified because everyone found out it was such a good place to live. ;P

Do you have any problem with spending time alone?

ColorStorm:
I prefer to be around family whenever I'm not asleep, and even if I'm "alone" I prefer to be doing something social on the internet. Being alone not interacting with anyone seems like a waste of time. Sometimes, when I'm psychotic, I have an *intense* need to be around people, like following the crowd if they move from one side of the room to the other, or once I was in so much spiritual pain literally every second that I wasn't interacting with someone that I could feel it physically and was repeatedly banging my head against the sofa to cope..

LaDamaX:
Sweet, sour, savory, spicy, bitter, or umami?

ColorStorm:
Sweet is okay, except that most desserts (at least here in America) are *too* sweet. They're *sickly* sweet, and they make me feel bad for punishing my body like that. Sour is okay for candy once in a while, but none of my go-to candies are actually sour. Savory is probably my favorite, and often with spicy to go with it. Bitter can go f**k itself. I forget what umami means.

LaDamaX:
I feel the same way about bitter— especially grapefruit. Umami is a meaty taste.

[https://twitter.com/Savage_Rosie_/status/1679573311435468801] This past week on Twitter, there's been quite a debate among Iranian users about whether it's "okay" to post certain kinds of pictures on social media when you're in a relationship. It seems like the whole situation might have been sparked by the recent Jonah Hill incident. What are your thoughts on this?

ColorStorm:
The whole debate is just a product of the wrong ideology that we, in some way, to some degree, *own* our partners or their bodies.

When you come here, what do you do first? Check your public feed? Ask your questions? Check your inbox? Check your notifications?

I usually catch up with the feed, then check notifications, then look at new questions and answer some. Sometimes I check notifications first, or look at a few posts in my feed and get tired of waiting to see my notifications and check them in the middle of scrolling the feed.

Are you into a particular “type” of person that you might be a bit hesitant or shy about telling others about? C’mon… tell me. I promise I won’t say anything to anyone else about it.

Maybe a certain air-headed, delusional New Age/spiritual type (not that all New Agers or spiritualists are delusional or air-headed!)

Gold or silver? Leather or lace? Monochromatic or colorful?

ColorStorm:
Silver because it's a purer color. I wouldn't wear lace because it's effeminate, but I guess it's good on girls, I don't really wear leather either though, and I wouldn't want to be mean to animals. Colorful definitely, though sometimes I wear some monochrome stuff. Right now my pants have stars and smoky shapes but they're monochrome (greyscale) and my shirt is a grainy grey.

Wieselmann:
What was the worst place that you have ever visited?

ColorStorm:
I once looked at list of the 18 or so worst cities in America, to see where my city would rank on the list, and it was #1, so I guess my city (Miami).

Wieselmann:
What's so bad about it?

ColorStorm:
I don't remember all the things they said, lots of things. The only one I remember is the people are poorly educated.

Wieselmann:
What do you personally dislike about Miami?

ColorStorm:
I only dislike one thing about Miami, and it's that a large proportion of the population doesn't speak English. I'm a minority in my own country! I think this was one of the things mentioned in the list, now that I think of it.

Wieselmann:
You wake up as Elon Musk. What is the first thing you do?

ColorStorm:
Sell or liquidate all my companies and other assets (don't liquidate twitter, but definitely sell it) to have as much cash as possible, then hire expert political consultants or create a trust fund to effect a few political changes (using commercials and other means...actually, maybe I'd keep Twitter and buy some more means communication...), starting with election reform so that companies and rich people can't donate to campaigns, and next going for all other forms of buying legislation, then attempting to effect extremely strict environmentalism, reducing military expenditure, giving police more accountability, instating a UBI, etc., etc.--I could go on. I think a really fun thing to do would be to convince the nation to make guns illegal, inevitably causing a citizen uprising against the government, then watch the government promptly wipe the gene pool of all those gun-loving miscreants.

In the latest effort of Disney's operation ruin your childhood. A photo leaked of the live action remake of Snow White. The dwarfs were shown. Suspiciously tall.. Turns out in an effort to not be offensive Disney doesn't want to cast actual little people as fucking dwarfs! Um, just a note. There are little people who are actors, who could have benefited from that role. Who are now not going to get it. If I'm a little person acting in Hollywood and I can't feed my family. I MIGHT BE FUCKING OFFENDED!!. I really (not really) want to join your woke club, I do. And perhaps when I'm as old as the US president and my brain has flown south for the winter for good. I may join up. But my cortex is still too gosh dang active to be a liberal 🤣🤣

ColorStorm:
Wokeness isn't the only thing about being a liberal by far, it's just the ugliest part. I'm a liberal but I hate wokeness.

BidenLadysMan:
The woke parts are hijacking the more moderate liberals. There are less and less of them.

BidenLadysMan:
The intolerance on the left pushed me out overall. It's gotten really bad. Say what you will about the right and MAGA. But there are alot of different demos that are accepted. Black, gay, trans, female. There's alot of different kinds of Republicans. And all are allowed to be in the party. Try being a pro Trump Democrat. Or have an objection about the masks or the vaccines or the trans movement. You will be eviscerated.

How did you hear about Retrospring?

ColorStorm:
I don't remember, I must have heard it from someone/people who were on a previous social Q&A website. But that would have been before Retrospring went down for a year or a few and then came back. I don't remember how I heard it came back, I must have been in outside contact with a Retrospring user. Either way, Retrospring is the last of a long succession of social Q&A sites I've been on that kept shutting down, I think this is the reason a lot of Retrospringers are here. The first social Q&A site I was on was before spring.me, I can't remember what it was called, and I was on it because my friend Darin was answering questions on it and I'm always fascinated by what he has to say. http://facebook.com/darinstevenson

How do you feel about assisted death? (legally and as humanely as possible ending the life of a consenting adult with a terminal condition and a believed 6 months left to live by a registered doctor)

ColorStorm:
I think it should be available, and not just for terminal illnesses or terminal illnesses with a 6-month or less life expectancy. At the very least it should be available for anyone with chronic pain. I'd say it should be available for anyone who wants to commit suicide, but that may be kind of problematic: how do you determine someone is acting of sound mind and doesn't just feel suicidal for the moment?

Disney is delaying the release of the new Snow White live action remake from March 2024 to March 2025. A full year later. Gee I wonder if they are trying to hide something 😆 They're apparently going to remove all the diversity hires. All except snow white🙄 I'm not going to go as far as to say maybe we're making some progress at pushing back the woke agenda. But I have zero faith in them I really think this is about, Daily Wire, a conservative media organization, announced this month that it would make a live-action film, Snow White and the Evil Queen, based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale. The movie is set to release in 2024. The last thing Disney ever wants to do is go head to head with a less woke, potentially more entertaining version of snow white. They will get their clock cleaned. They want money. They are using all these woke stooges to make money. That's all they care about. That's what makes it so funny🤣 Rachel Zegler was probably hired by all white guys who only cared about how good she looked on her knees. Because like she said. "It's Hollywood baby"🤣😂

ColorStorm:
I bet it'll suck, I doubt The Daily Wire has the money or the experience to make a good movie.

Neither does Disney at this point. Ppl could still see the movie than Disney's version. They don't want to chance it lol

No. I don't believe in worship, it's an imbalance, and I don't see the point of it anyway. And large-breasted women aren't any more special than other people, and they didn't do anything to earn their large breasts anyway. Also I'm not even partial to large breasts, mid-size is just fine.

Wieselmann:
Do you think birth control pills should be free?

ColorStorm:
Yes, because it could prevent unwanted pregnancies, especially by poor people. Abortion is a lot more inconvenient and expensive (and arguably amounts to homicide), and raising children is a huge burden, not to mention that a child of an irresponsible person who didn't want a child or could hardly raise one in the first place will probably have a bad time growing up, which will also have psychological effects that carry over into the whole rest of their life, and most people suffer a lot more than they are happy in this world anyway so nobody should actually be having children.

I’m not sure everybody feels that way, though. (The latter about the suffering)

Wieselmann:
Billionaires should not exist. Do you agree?

ColorStorm:
Yes, they have too much power, and they abuse it in a plethora of ways for the purpose of profiteering. It's also an absurd and inhumane imbalance for some people to have that much wealth while so many people in the country and the world at large are poor and struggling, homeless or even starving. However, if there were no billionaires, they'd probably just be replaced by a larger group of multimillionaires, and they'd engage in the same selfish and deleterious profiteering. So, what we really need is a universal wage cap of, say, $300000/year. Maybe an overall net worth cap too. Being capped at a certain amount would put a big damper on the "make as much much money as possible" game that involves so many immoral practices.

You know the first Rambo movie. I innocently and CORRECTLY I might add posted about that in the novel Rambo kills himself. That's how the book it's based on ends. 5,000 people liked my post because it's correct. One fucking waste of semen comments you know the colonel kills Rambo with a shotgun. It's not a suicide Noo, Fuckface! The way the novel ends. Rambo grabs the colonel's gun and says something along the lines of. You made me, you'll kill me, you owe me that. Or something like that. So mechanically I guess the colonel shoots him. But the concept of the FUCKING SCENE! Is Rambo wants to die because of PTSD and force him to kill him. Suicide you fuck! This dumb fuck is trying to educate me on something he knows nothing about. And it's a pistol not a shotgun. A pistol like what he should put in his stupid fucking mouth when he's done struggling with his pronouns! Doesn't know whether he's a boy a girl or a fucking zebra.. you stupid fuck. His mother should have swallowed him instead of crapping you out of her rotten pussy.. .Woo-Sahhh.. Ok I'm done😊

As a German girl I know that type of thinking and discussion. It is the typical fascist twist. Burning the dead Jews after poisoning them? They at least had it warm in the oven.

You have 25 attribute points to spend on the follow characteristics (out of 10, 10 being the best), how do you spend it - and why? 1. Wealth 2. Health 3. Attractiveness 4. Knowledge 5. Charisma

ColorStorm:
Tough choice. Wealth is the least personal of all of those, and the most greedy. But if 10 wealth meant I'd have hundreds of millions or billions of dollars with which to change the world, maybe I'd sacrifice the other things and do that. I care about my body a lot, so I'd want 10 health. Also for that reason and also because I want to be wanted by and have experiences with attractive members of the opposite sex, I'd want 10 attractiveness. Sometimes I wish I had more knowledge (I would have a lot of knowledge if I didn't have terrible memory) or envy people with a lot of knowledge, but ultimately it would be just a burden and details with respect to my personality. I'd want charisma for the sake of being attractive, but OTOH that might change my personality in a way that would make me feel not like me. So I guess I'd put the remaining five on knowledge.

To the customer's credit, they may have been open-minded about a female boss but simply not prepared for it because of its factual rarity in your area. I guess, I don't know their tone of voice, etc.

It seemed he never ever in his life seemed to have heard of a female boss nor have met a woman in a position of responsibility. Sad. Also he didn't hide his surprise well and part of the surprise was due to the fact it seemed to have shaken his world like an earth quake. I think he would have been less surprised if instead of me the cookie monster would have appeared out of thin air.

As far as Halloween dying out, I don’t think so. People have gravitated to all sorts of other ways of celebrating rather than just trick or treating.

What is your definition of masculinity?

ColorStorm:
I'd rather characterize it than try to define it. I guess this works well enough: "Traits traditionally viewed as masculine in Western society include strength, courage, independence, leadership, and assertiveness." I can think of a couple more things: firmness, and the desire to do/accomplish sh\*t. To dare, push the limits, etc. To those looking to be offended: this obviously doesn't mean women don't or can't have any of the above traits or that the traits are categorically unfeminine. Femininity/masculinity is like yin/yang as commonly depicted, with each energy being embedded in the other.

Your thoughts on the possibility of the existence of an afterlife. What do you base these thoughts/opinion on?

ColorStorm:
I've read plenty of books on the afterlife, things like channelings of people who have crossed over, near-death experiences, and hypnotic regressions into past lives and life between lives. I meticulously weigh everything I read to determine whether it's probably authentic or not, rather than closed-mindedly dismissing anything without hard proof or not widely accepted by the scientific community. Some of these stories included verification of facts that the person "couldn't have known." And I've watched or read other stories where people knew things they "couldn't have known," such as a person who remembered crashing a plane in a war, then he successfully located the plane which had been buried underground; a person who lifted out of his body in a hospital and saw something on a top shelf that he "shouldn't have" been able to see and verified what it was; kids who remembered past lives and knew things about other places and families that were verified that they "had no way of knowing"; plenty of stories of relatives who had just passed over paying people one last visit, even people who had no idea they'd died yet; etc. And there are so many stories of ghost sightings that probably a relatively high percentage of people have seen a ghost at least once in their lives. It's common for people not to believe anyone else's stories of ghost sightings until they actually see one for themselves; then they're believers. And then there's the fact that people who are about to die often see their loved ones who have passed on greeting them from a white light...I know skeptics assume it's their dying brains generating hallucinations, but if it's hallucinations--even if it's hallucinations of what they desire most--why would they always happen to be of the one thing that would make most sense if there's life after death? On the other hand, by all appearances, the brain is inextricably linked with consciousness and mental capacities (e.g., anesthesia; experiments showing that very specific cognitive abilities, emotions, etc. are affected by affecting specific areas of the brain; the fact that people undergo profound changes in their personalities and cognitive abilities as they age from infancy to senility; etc.), and by all appearances, we *are* our bodies. We start from just a single cell, and with all the different medical conditions and states of consciousness there are, there are endless gradations between being alive and being dead, or being conscious and being unconscious. So, I'm kind of split on the matter of life after death, but I tend toward believing it's legit.

Probably not very different, there are millions of species on planet Earth, they'd just be one more. I guess it's possible that they'd pose a rather unique threat, such as attack by air, maybe making humans' reaction times faster or something. But probably not, since snakes wouldn't bite something as large as a human unless out of self-defense, so they wouldn't fly at us and bite us. I guess it could be, like, flying pythons.. even pythons don't typically prey on humans, though.

[From the novel "The Fall" by Albert Camus] "This is so true that we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves or be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen." Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, could be true. I have the impression people don't want to better themselves because they're not aware enough to realize that there's anything "wrong" with them / the way they do things. This sort of evolution happens very slowly, over many lifetimes. Confiding in people who are "better" than one probably wouldn't result in one becoming "better," though, because the "better" people would just judge/condemn them and judgment/condemnation isn't a good catalyst for change, it just angers people and makes them reject you / what you have to say.

Ah, yes, there's definitely a hidden ethical vacuum. I just read tonight that some corporation spent $5.1 million dollars advertising their $1 million charity. I don't remember if the charity was environmental, but either way it shows how much of a farce it is when companies ostensibly do good things. It's always a calculated effort to increase the bottom dollar, so that means the doing good is often mostly on the level of appearances only. They "give with one hand and take away with a thousand others"

ColorStorm:
E.g., those companies purporting to care about or help the environment most likely are destroying it much more than they're helping it.

Apparently it might be possible to inject certain aerosols into the atmosphere to reverse global warming. However the longterm effects of this geoengineering approach are unknown. Do you think this method should be considered?

ColorStorm:
Only when and if there are no other options (or only potentially worse options) and we're sure that global warming is really going to destroy the planet (haven't they been making predictions about global warming for a while now that never happen as early as they predict?).

ColorStorm:
There are some things you can get in trouble for telling a psychiatrist/psychologist/therapist in the US, don't know about in the UK. For example, if you're planning on killing someone, they're obligated to tell the police. And I think if you say you want to commit suicide you can end up forcibly hospitalized.

Shannon:
The whole reason I'm going is because I want to commit suicide. I wish they would hospitalize me.

BidenLadysMan:
I got into a spat on Instagram.. I know right, I'm so quiet and all😛 I came across a clip of a 600 lb guy who lost 300 lbs. And the comments are filled with praise and yays🙄 I'm realistic to a fault. I accurately wrote that he'd probably be better off continuing to eat. 1st of all I don't give praise for acting normal.. yay you're finally not eating like a bullca whale.. good for you.. no. You don't got to bed skinny and wake up with 7 pairs of tits it doesn't happen that way. Fatness doesn't sneak up on you. You eat and eat, and eat and people tell you to stop and you don't.. Now being that I've been overweight. If you're 20, 40, 50 even 100 lbs overweight though that's pushing it. You can slowdown, lose weight and probably live a longer life. But if you 600 lbs. You're screwed. Even if you lose weight you're going to die. This guy in the clip probably has. An enlarged heart, organ damage, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. His back, hips and knees are probably trashed. He done for. Doesn't matter if he eats salad or cheesecake he's having a heart attack any day now. Am I so wrong for speaking the truth? What this guy needed was some truth before it got that far.

ColorStorm:
I don't really agree with your sentiment. He was apparently battling an addiction to food, it happens to a lot of people, as this world is a hell, so depression is rampant for many different reasons, and one way to feel temporarily good when you're desperate and have nothing else is to eat, and you can't say you wouldn't have developed the same addiction if you were in his shoes. So it doesn't really matter that he "shouldn't" have eaten that much to begin with; relative to the state he was in, the fact that he started eating less and conquered his bad habit is commendable or at least worthy of celebration, as it takes a lot of will power and he's trying to improve himself and take control of his life. It's no different from when somebody says they're "10 years sober" or whatever. (Not sure if you think those people deserve criticism too; they don't. They deserve cheering.) Whether he's to be praised or criticized completely depends on how you look at it, and the good thing to do is to see people in the positive light rather than being cynical. The fact that he's still going to die early, if it's true, is just an unfortunate fact of life, it doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an A for effort.

BidenLadysMan:
I don't think anyone should get praise for all of a suddenly acting normal. It doesn't devalue the struggle. That is mostly self inflicted. I'm all together sick of the "praise" culture we have now. And not even praising the right people. And like I said the sad reality is he is going to die young regardless at this point.

Communism question: The gross world product has hit 100 trillion dollars in 2022. If we divide that amount by the number of people on Earth, let's say, 10 billion, we get 10000 dollars per person, which is also what everyone would earn yearly under communism. Could you live comfortably with that amount?

ColorStorm:
I don't remember what GDP means exactly (if that's the measure you're using), but I'll take Kate's word for it that that's not the way it works. Either way, though, the economy would be structured differently under communism, so that value would probably change drastically. Also, that world product includes the products of many poor countries; if the world product were distributed among everybody, then there would have to be a One World Government, so maybe the rich countries would bring the poor countries up to speed wrt industrialization and such, so the product may drastically increase. Though, again like Kate said, this can't last for long, because we're fucking the environment wholesale. Forgetting all of the above, 10,000/year would be more than I currently make, so I guess It'd be fine with me.

Tell me your favorite colour guys, and why?

ColorStorm:
My favorite color is aquamarine, or maybe slightly more greenish than aquamarine, depending on which "aquamarine" you look at. Exactly how greenish I like it also seems to vary from day to day. But here's an image I've saved: https://imgur.com/a/os7tibF I like it because it feels like/reminds me of pure freedom, on a spiritual level. Total liberation. The song Fur Elise also feels that way to me, except for one section of it, which you can probably guess which section it is if you remember the song. You don't really get the full sense of it unless you listen to a really good rendition of it though, one by some who really understands the essence of the song. The best one I know of by far is Alfred Brendel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtwFOOOoGlo I know I veered from the question a bit, sue me. :D

ColorStorm:
Other colors I like are purple and green, and combinations of purple, green and blue, especially when it's iridescent. I used to wear all green. I also love the combination of black and gold, and the combination of pure blue and white, when the blue is in a complex pattern.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPadRwJbylY] A Korean research team claims to have developed the world's first room-temperature ambient pressure superconductor, a potentially groundbreaking discovery with immense implications for energy and technology. However, the findings require rigorous peer review before being confirmed as one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of the 21st century. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I suppose it's a good thing. If it works. I've seen doubts based on a claimed lack of ability to replicate it. I've also read of it being replicated *and* simulated. I read that they published the same paper twice, one with six authors and one with three, and the maximum number of people a Nobel prize can be shared among is three. And also that there's a lot of infighting for the credit. So I feel bad for the members who didn't make the list of three. If they get the Nobel prize.

Kate:
German saying of the day: Besser Arm dran als Bein ab! This is making fun based on the expression to be 'arm dran'. Arm means arm plus it means poor. Arm dran means to be in a situation of poverty. Also it can mean that your arm ist attached to your body. Besser Arm dran als Bein ab means: It is better to have your arm attached to your body than having lost a leg. It also can mean that it is better to be poor than having lost a leg. It is a pun put on top of the idiomatic "arm dran sein". Besser Arm dran als Bein ab. That also means in a sarcastic way that you might not be happy with a situation but it easily could be worse. So you consider yourself to be maybe poor but still complete. Better to still have your arm than having lost a leg. Funny, eh?

ColorStorm:
what does arm dran sein mean?

Kate:
Arm dran .. means to be in a state of poverty. Plus it is short for stating the fact that your arm is attached to your body. Arm is arm and arm is poor.

ColorStorm:
yeah i get arm dran but you never explained "sein" =p

ah! sorry! "Sein" is "to be".

Kate:
Fashion models. No living person I ever saw had that face expression they professionally do for photos. I mean you all've seen that one I'm talking about. That slightly disgusted but absent and unwilling bitchy mode face that should not give away anything personal or emotional or even individual. I'm talking about that prop face. 99 of 100 expressions like that convey disgust. And that is chosen to make us want items they are doing that ad for? Never worked for me, but how about you?

ColorStorm:
I'm not really a big fan of how serious models try to look. Show me a smiling, laughing, or otherwise glowing lady any day.

Kate:
And what about male models? They are brutally lower payed than female models but assume the same stance and visuals it seems?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I don't really care about male models. I guess if anything they just make me jealous. =P I guess the reason male models are lower paid than female is lower demand due to females not being as visually oriented when it comes to sexuality, rather more demisexual. And I guess females are less sexually deprived in general, too. So it's just a natural consequence of the free market, so it's completely fair. Or if anything it's unfair that they were blessed with such nice bodies and faces and can

ColorStorm:
make a living just based on their looks, which most men can't.

Kate:
Same applies to mental abilities. I can make a living based upon my brain which many cannot it seems? Unfair? Market demand? We tend to be more jealous about looks than intelligence but when we rank intelligence the uproar is more huge?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, the intelligence factor could be considered to be unfair too. Or maybe people who are intelligent earned or chose their intelligence somehow, on a spiritual level? But then, one could conjecture the same about good looks, I guess.

Kate:
That are the dangers of sticking out too much. People often learn to hide their abilities to save energy that they would have to waste in jealousy fights?

Kate:
Do you tend to wear too small or tight shoes or too big and lose ones?

ColorStorm:
It depends. I'd rather have shoes that are a little too tight than shoes that are too long, and sometimes I have to choose between the two. The ones I wear regularly (tie-dye crocs) fit me snugly when I bought them, but I think they're a little more loose now. And lately I've been wearing some boots instead, which fit me just right or maybe on the snug side. I also have a pair I bought online (this, or something close to it: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m76258894376/ ), I wasn't sure what size to buy and they're a little long, but it's probably necessary because they're also rather thin and I have wide feet. My dress shoes that I have to wear once in a blue moon are pretty tight. I also have a few other pairs that I think fit me about normal.

Kate:
Shoe-wise diverse and a bit undecided I'd say?

Yeah, it varies but mostly snug to well-fit.

World-wide? I have no idea, I don't know in how many countries of what populations computers aren't popular. But in the developed world, I think most people do because I think Windows automatically opens zip files when you double-click them and most people use Windows.

Wieselmann:
but opening a zip file isnt the same as unziping it i think

ColorStorm:
Yeah, it's not the same, but once you open it I think you can easily drag and drop the files to another folder. Or maybe there's a button somewhere that says extract or something. Idr. I don't use the UI to unzip.

both and in between. though I've said before, they don't make music fast enough for me. ;)

what's your 2 favorite star trek series? i'm asking for two because i'm pretty sure if i only asked for one i'd mostly only get The Next Generation as an answer

The world is ending in 30 days and it is (somehow) your responsibility to decide which 10,000 people will be put on a spaceship to safely take people to a new world. Who would you select? What would be your selection criteria? Would you be in the 10,000?

ColorStorm:
Remove all Republicans (I'd have to do some research and figure out what parties to remove in other countries), remove all religious people, remove all meat eaters, remove all physicalists, remove all people who don't donate to some charity (who are above a certain age), remove all gun owners, remove all SUV drivers, remove all ugly people and all people with genetic diseases, think about more categories of people to remove and maybe omit some categories as necessary, include all relatives and a bunch of other people I know. I'd be in the 10,000 even though I probably wouldn't satisfy my own selection criteria. The selection criteria are just a really crude way of sifting from billions of people without knowing each one personally, so they're not perfect, but I do know myself personally. Also my family would be really sad if I didn't come.

ColorStorm:
yeah, I thought it might be too few, which is why I mentioned possibly omitting some categories ;d

Serious question: Why do men ask women to smile? Do we owe the world smiles?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I wouldn't do that. What's the value of a smile if it's forced rather than genuine? It seems arrogant to me for a man to ask a woman to smile, to perform for his pleasure. She should smile when she feels like it.

Yes, I love the violin and the cello (which I consider a bass violin). As for the song, it's just meh.. I like Lindsey Stirling's works (Crystalize, for example) better than this song.

Wasserpistole:
This concerto is considered as a great work of art and very much loved by so many people. Lindsey, in comparison, is really nothing more than meh.

I guess I should be the one who's friends with her on facebook =P

oh, btw, another violinist who makes better music than this is Vanessa Mae

What do you don't like about music?

ColorStorm:
(Some) music is pretty much perfect, but if there's anything that bugs me it's the arbitrariness of the physical instruments used to make it. I'd rather it just be a direct expression of pure imagination (i.e. via digital sound designing), free expression in all dimensions. I guess you could say I also resent how sucky most music is, especially rap and hip hop, and that people are base enough to like that crap. If there's anything else I don't like about music it's the fact that I'm not good at making it. =P I'm very musically creative when I'm dreaming or half asleep, but I can't carry that into waking state which is the state I'd have to make music in.

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's justified that manual workers often earn significantly less than people with a college/university degree who work in an office?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I'd like if the manual workers made more because their work is hard work, and it's necessary for society to function. On the other hand, the office workers invested in a degree, and returns on investments is the name of the game. If they didn't get paid more, they'd have no incentive to invest. Also a university degree requires a certain amount of intelligence, and intelligence is an asset that 'should' (i.e. would, in a capitalist/competitive system) allow one to earn more / climb the corporate ladder.

Wieselmann:
Sometimes i wonder why intelligent people should earn more, since their intelligence is a result of their environment and genes

i mean "not normal" and "weird" could be seen as synonymous, but I mean it wouldn't surprise me if my mentioning that dream in particular reflects my weirdness or a particular aspect of it.\

Well, I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I was just talking to someone on Twitter who wishes she had a brother who had brotherly love for her so she could have sexual/romantic relations with him. I think that's hawt. She does have a sister who she's in love with who doesn't know it.

[I think I asked a similar question a couple of years ago on the old Retrospring] If your country's government wages war against another country, should the citizens feel responsible for the war crimes their government might commit? I mean ever wondered if your tax dollars contribute to bombs falling on innocent folks?

ColorStorm:
IMO, no. It wasn't their decision. It was out of their control. Though they may be a little bit, indirectly responsible if they voted in the guys who chose to commit the war crimes..at least/especially if they'd given signs of their disposition in that regard before being elected.

I have always struggled to make meaningful resolutions for New Years, but 2024 may be different. What about you? Thoughts, goals, plans for the new year? Reflections on 2023?

ColorStorm:
I've never particularly been interested in New Year's resolutions or thought they're particularly rational, because you can make a new resolution any day you want to, and the New Year's is just an arbitrary date set on an arbitrary calendar separated by an arbitrary number of days of the year determined by an arbitrary distance of the earth from the sun.. so making New Year's resolutions seems like it comes from an overly socialized/hive mentality. Well, that and I have no discipline or goals. =P

nachopee:
I also felt that way (that you could make a resolution any time you wanted), but then I wasn't making any new changes period. I suppose of all the social constructs we have, wanting to make better changes for ourselves for an arbitrary new year is one that doesn't feel like absolute shit

In other words, mumble mumble life skills mumble mumble. On the other hand, I don't think anybody should have to go through any of this, especially children -- school is clearly a form of child abuse in my eyes. If I were a teacher, I'd very much want to give all the children As no matter what they did to get the pressure off their backs, and also allow them 100% self-directed study. This is why I wouldn't be a teacher.

Andy:
You are approached by a well dressed man who wishes to offer you $50 (or local equivalent) of unused Lottery Tickets and $50 (or local equivalent) worth of fresh groceries, but only allows you to take one... which one do you choose? (Inspired by Squid Games)

ColorStorm:
I'd take the groceries. I don't buy lotto already, because it's a waste of money, so why should I give up $50 of something useful for lotto? You might say it's different because it's free anyway, but it's functionally the same as spending on lotto; for example, who's to say it wouldn't be $50 of my own money I'm spending on lotto, while the man's gift just allows me to spend $50 more of my money on something else, given that all money is interchangeable? Lotto preys on people's hopes for salvation through a large fortune. It's exploitative. And statistically, the more you spend on lotto, the more money you lose.

Andy:
Just to check, you wouldn't be able to pick out the groceries, but it would be a bag of essentials with the value of $50 (i.e. cheese, bread, eggs, etc.). Does that influence your answer at all?

ColorStorm:
I guess we'd probably use all of that, so no. If it included items we weren't necessarily going to use, ideally I'd calculate the value of the items we *would* use and compare it to the probable returns from the lotto tickets

rainbowpink:
the odds of winning the lottery are so low as to basically be nonexistent. groceries every time, even if it was food i didnt particularly like.

ColorStorm:
You can also win smaller amounts, especially on scratch-offs, I think maybe some people hope to win, say, $100...but yeah, still not worth it.

What’s your unpopular take/opinion about Christmas?

ColorStorm:
What should be a celebration of and a zest for life itself is usurped by a capitalistic, consumeristic orgy where we all try to fill the void we get from our modern disconnection from nature with more technology and other plastic crap.

Wieselmann:
Do you think you could set or break a guiness world record?

ColorStorm:
Well, kinda like Stephen said. I don't think there are enough potential niche records for them to track for everyone to have their own record, but, given how niche they tend to be...I wouldn't be too surprised if there were one niche enough that I could actually set out to break it and win. I think it would likely take a lot of practice/effort.

ColorStorm:
Er, I mean, there are enough *conceivable* niche records for everyone to have their own record (if everyone wanted one), but Guinness would never get that niche and/or would never keep that many in their catalogue. And I wouldn't technically have to "break" the record if I invented the niche category myself, but I'd probably still have to be pretty good at it for them to take my submission seriously and for it not to be immediately beaten by somebody else.

Tody the national woodland survey stated that the German woods are ill. Only about 30% of trees can be regarded as healthy. Many do have too little leafs. Are we Germans too obsessed with our woods as the gossip tells me?

ColorStorm:
People aren't obsessed enough with the woods and the health of the natural environment in general.

The US stock market registered a noticeable decline in tech stocks just because a chinese AI company announced their newest generative model was cheaper to operate. Are investors dumb? I maintain my opinion that tech companies are overvalued but that decline felt pretty exaggerated.

ColorStorm:
I answered this in response to Sean's answer, but apparently nobody read it, so I'll answer it here: @ColorStorm inhahe · 1d i imagine there's somewhat of a recursive, self-fueling feature to it. like, it may seem dumb for the price to go down so much just because of that, but investors foresee that that the other investors will foresee that the other investors will foresee, etc. that they'll all be dumb and the price will go down, so they end up being right, and therefore smart.

Kate:
dysfunctional brains are hardly smart when they produce chaos as a result of failed predictions?

ColorStorm:
idk, it does seem kinda silly to sell your stock if it's obviously just going to go back up a day later

rainbowpink:
stocks, just like the rest of the economy, are made up…line go up or down don’t matter in the long run.

fizzyarthur:
Why do companies do clearly wrong things and then their lawyers are like "we did not do anything wrong"?

ColorStorm:
I guess because they think they have a chance at winning? If they admit to doing the crime, they have no chance. Companies are purely sociopathic agents without morals or conscience. They do anything and everything they can to maximize the bottom dollar.

since I’m home now and my day is free aside from that.. how has everyone’s valentines been? I don’t really celebrate because this day marks something else for me, but I’m sure people have nice stories to share..

ColorStorm:
Mine was mostly like any other day. But my dad buys us valentine's chocolates every valentine's day, and he gets me dark chocolate because it's the only kind of chocolate I like, and usually it's not that good but this time it was good, it's Godiva. We also went to Panera Bread. I got a margarita pizza and a strawberry lemon mint juice with tons of caffeine, and I didn't notice any effect of the caffeine whatsoever.

So I can store all my photos, videos, documents, notes, and contacts in my iButt? Are you sure it's large enough to hold them all?

"Sign in to iButt" reminds me of something my HS economics teacher said: It's not the size of the pencil that counts, but how you sign your name.

It's not the size of the pen, it's the kink of the ink.

Nuclear power plants-yay or nay?

ColorStorm:
They're not ideal, with all the nuclear waste they generate, but they're probably better than burning fossil fuels, especially given our struggle with climate change. Though I'm not sure what's worse between fossil fuels and nuclear power in Japan where apparently codes/maintenance aren't strict enough, given the TWO meltdowns they've had that have dosed the entire world with radioactivity..

ColorStorm:
oh, i guess they've had one meltdown. ussr had the other. so that's two places that maybe shouldn't have nuclear power plants

ZouBisouBisou:
Are you confident enough to include a semicolon in sentences wherever applicable? Of all the grammar rules it's the most daunting for me.

ColorStorm:
I know when you're allowed to use semicolons, but I try not to use them very often for fear of looking pretentious or like I have a stick up my ass.. though sometimes they're really appropriate and useful. But more often than not I just use a comma where a semicolon (or period) belongs, because I think it reflects better the cadence of how I would speak / how it sounds in my head. And because of the aforementioned reason. Semicolons are simple. You can use a semicolon wherever you can use a period. It separates two complete sentences. You use one instead of a period when the two thoughts are closely linked so a period is too strong a separator.

ColorStorm:
DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO SAY A SEMICOLON IS A STRONG COMMA! IT'S NOT! IT'S A WEAK PERIOD *ONLY*!!

DUST:
Is life what it is or is it what we imagine it to be?

ColorStorm:
Well, everything is what it is by definition. Even if it's what we imagine it to be it still is what it is. Is it what we imagine it to be? I guess imagination goes a long way, life is imaginal/mental enough in nature and open-ended and pliable enough. But some things can't be denied--physical reality, certain challenges that must be met, etc., and imagining they're not there or are something they're not is only self-delusion.

DUST:
What's your opinion on insults? Are they necessary? When would you say it's ok to insult others?

ColorStorm:
Insults aren't necessary, they shouldn't exist, but maybe in a relative sense they are. Because like nick says, sometimes we just want to insult someone and it's not necessarily healthy to hold things in on a continuous basis. Maybe it's more healthy to express our truth, even if we happen to feel insulting? I don't know. It's not really good for the person being insulted though, and maybe there's virtue and moral evolution or some other kind of growth in restraint. Maybe better than insulting others is to reflect, to look inwardly at why you feel that way--why you're hurt and why you feel the need to react to that hurt with aggression. I think there's profound room for advancement there.

Andy:
Who do you think is a worse human being, Hitler or Donald Trump?

ColorStorm:
Hard to say. Hitler at least had a desire to improve the world. The heinous things he did were the result of convictions he had about how to go about doing that. Trump, otoh, I think does everything he does for no other reason than power/money/ego. Selfism is the ultimate nature of evil in my book.

Andy:
Which ones is the worse?

ColorStorm:
If I have to choose I'll just say Trump because I'm pissed off at him and I couldn't care less about Hitler and what happened 80 years ago.

ColorStorm:
There have been posts of yours I didn't like, but I agree with the "script" thing overall. There are things it's okay to attack and things it's not okay to attack just because society defines it that way, and almost everyone falls in line because of peer pressure. I was just thinking the other day that it's odd how society is considerate in so many ways now but it's still okay to attack the president's children just because they're the president's children.

Wieselmann:
Do you think there are some people on retrospring who lie in their replies sometimes or are we all honest here?

ColorStorm:
Nobody's 100% honest. There are things that most people habitually lie about. For example, in the recent question about whether anyone's been hurt by an anonymous message, I'm sure some people said no when the answer was really yes. People aren't honest about how sensitive/vulnerable they are, not even with themselves. Though that's not really a hard fact per se.. when it comes to hard facts I don't know if there are any habitual liars here. I'm sure there's somebody who's lied sometime though, the only question is how many people or how frequently.

Wieselmann:
Who do you think lied sometimes?

ColorStorm:
dunno, most likely candidates would be any of teh trolls

Wieselmann:
I think Jason and Chris Martinez were lying often

ChrisMartinez:
What do u think heaven will be like?(If it exists, *not likely*) humans grow tired of perfection, we enjoy a challenge. If everything is "perfect" up there sounds dull😊

ColorStorm:
Not sure Heaven is perfect. But I don't see Heaven as the Christian idealism of it. Heaven is the afterlife, and there are many gradations of the afterlife--probably some of them aren't Heaven at all, but hell. The Christian Heaven probably exists too, just because these realms are created by consciousness, so the group Christian consciousness has probably created a Christian Heaven, but I doubt it's eternal. People probably stay around there until they get tired of it / their consciousness expands beyond Chrisntianity. In Heaven as in the afterlife, there may be challenges, and spirits probably come and go--they may expand beyond that realm, they may repeatedly reincarnate, etc. But it's a much better place than this dump. Even in a place that's not perfect and contains challenges, there's plenty of room for improvement on the general quality and magic of life over this horrible realm.

ChrisMartinez:
Ppl dont like to think abt it but death gives life meaning. Gives u a drive to better yourself. An afterlife won't have a death.

ChrisMartinez:
So what motivation will we have to continue. That's assuming we will have a consciousnesses at all, any concept of time or space

ChrisMartinez:
That the afterlife is just us being converted back unto energy to feed an uncaring universe

ColorStorm:
i think the afterlife is'nt feeding an uncaring universe. if anything, the universe is a lot less uncaring if there *is* an afterlife. and i don't think we

ColorStorm:
'feed' it, not in a predatorial or parasitic sense. though there's a lot of sharing and mutual uplift

ColorStorm:
between spirits and between spirits and the universe

ColorStorm:
i think there are plenty of motivations to continue, to thrive and to accomplish besides death.

ColorStorm:
actually, the fundamental drive is within you. it's tied to the spark of life. it follows from freedom.

Late night Naughty question: Have you ever been caught masturbating? https://gph.is/2x9zrR8 FYI I have never been caught 21 yrs never caught, had a few close calls but never beaten...well :)

ColorStorm:
Yes, once or twice. Once I when I was a teenager I was masturbating in my room because I had just been playing physically with my (female) cousins and that was always sexual for me. Then I noticed the door was cracked open (I could have sworn I'd shut it and locked it, years later I decided one of them probably unlocked it and opened it slowly) and my two cousins and my sister, one on top of the other, were peeking in through the crack. Another time, just a year or two ago, I was masturbating out in the living room (because that's where my computer was) in the dark at night and I thought I'd know in time if anyone came out because I'd hear them open the hallway door and they can't see me immediately due to things blocking the view.. but I didn't hear her at all until she was already out here. I don't know for sure what she saw because it was dark. She never said anything about it.

How is/was your relationship with your grandparents?

ColorStorm:
Mom's mom: When I was little I spent a lot of time with her, because of babysitting, etc. Our relationship was a little rocky, I guess. Well, just a handful of incidents that I remember. But my mom once told me that her mom once told her (when I was young) that she feels like she's walking on egg shells when it comes to me and that she shouldn't have to feel that way. I thought that was interesting, not sure why she felt that way... it's not like I was really emotional or overreactive or anything. But I was really sensitive and insecure. In my adult life my relationship with her was more smooth. Not really close, but not really distant either. Mom's dad: I had nothing against him, but we never really talked to speak of, and I only saw him for like one or two days out of the year max, since he lived in another state. Dad's mom: My whole extended family on my dad's side comes together every Christmas (well, not the *whole* family, but around 20 people, except last year it was more fragmented) and has a huge Christmas tradition. It's been that way my entire life, so I have fond Christmas memories as far back as I can remember. And my grandmother was at the head of it all, the matriarch. I was fine with her, but we never really talked much, we weren't particularly close. Oh, there was one year that I lived with her and my aunt.. when it was time to move back in with my parents she said I was a neat kid and that she hopes she lives long enough to see what I end up doing with my life. She definitely lived long enough, but I never did anything. =P She lived in another city so Christmases and summer vacations were the only times I ever saw her. My dad's dad: I've always been proud because of his accomplishments and prestige, but we only ever talked about once or twice in my life. He lived in California (where my dad's from), and I only got to visit him once. He was an alcoholic (I only mention this because I'm not sure whether or not it had something to do with how rarely I ever met/talked to him).

AGR:
What do you notice that isn't talked about much?

ColorStorm:
The extreme level of scientism that pervade Western society. People don't see it because it's the air they breathe and grew up breathing, the water they swim in, so they don't talk about it, they just conform. Also the utter irrationality, sexophobia and authoritarianism of legally enforcing that people wear clothes when outside their homes.

LaDamaX:
But I don’t want to see anybody’s peepee …until *I* want to. I just don’t. Just like I don’t want to listen to anybody’s music or very personal conversations while I’m in public. I can’t help that modesty was something that I was taught. 🤷🏻‍♀️

ColorStorm:
Ok, but do you think it should be *illegal* for people to play their music in public or have very personal conversations in public just because you'd prefer not to hear it?

LaDamaX:
No. I don’t . But… I also don’t think you should be around my 4-yr-old w your peepee hanging out. PERIOD. I think you know how I feel about that. 🔪 🔪 🔪

ColorStorm:
This is sexophobia enculturated into you by the society you grew up in. Seeing other people's anatomy won't actually harm a 4-year-old.

Transit question: should toll roads be allowed even if said roads get too congested mostly because of the toll booths?

ColorStorm:
They don't have to get congested. Around here they have something called SunPass. It's a little device you put on the inside of your windshield or on your dash, and it's automatically detected when you drive on a certain road and you're automatically charged.

fizzyarthur:
The bay bridge here has something similar, but still, they have to slow down and most people don't have those.

ColorStorm:
Okay, to answer your question, I don't think toll roads are that much of a necessity when you can just make them all publicly funded. Society has always been partially socialistic, no reason not to tip it in that direction by like one more fraction of a degree.

I've never heard of sleeping per se being lazy, but I guess some people consider "sleeping in," i.e., sleeping late rather than going to work or perhaps doing other chores in the morning, as being lazy, but that's probably because of the work the person is forgoing. Whereas at night or in the evening when one is going to be bed early, they've probably finished all their work/chores.

Kate:
The lazy meme is part of a western puritan work ethic that thinks that work and making money and being successful by working is the same as that God gives you his blessing and that success is a sign that god loves you. That is being used as a weapon to squeeze profits out of workers, especially in US-like economies.

Are you willing to subsidise/fund your partners lifestyle in a relationship?

ColorStorm:
I can't afford it, I can hardly even afford to take care of myself, but if I were well-off, sure. The companion of a pretty woman would be worth it. But, on the other hand, I might become resentful because I might feel like she's using me / like I'm paying her for her love.

How to squeeze more hours out of a day? Sleep less? Waste less time?

ColorStorm:
Don't sleep less, that's unhealthy (unless you already oversleep, in which case it's obvious). Stopping wasting time is a no-brainer, unless you don't really waste that much time and the amount of time freed would be trivial. I suggest freeing up some time by never eating.

I helped a customer with his computer today and found out it lacked memory space. She was hoarding e-mails dating back about 15 years. And they had many attachments. We gained 300GB of space deleting those older than 2015. What data do you hoard on your PC?

ColorStorm:
41 gb of Pics in various categories and also uncategorized, mostly downloaded, a few i took; 292 gb of music, including thousands of christmas songs for christmas, and also tons of songs ripped from online radio stations; 28 gb of random videos; 17 gb of porn; the contents of my niece's and my sister's friend's hard drives that I copied for some reason a long time ago; 223 gb of programs i've downloaded in two directories: new, and new_save (the latter is for stuff not to delete); multiple downloads of my entire gmail inbox, 17 gb each; 380 gb of Virtual Box and VMWare virtual machines; tons of installed applications; tons of random other things

What's your opinion on job advertisements that require a specific gender even though the requirement is not really needed?

ColorStorm:
I don't really care, I feel like companies should have some leeway in specifying what types of people they'd like to hire. If it became a widespread problem, though, like for example if many, many companies were only hiring males when it wasn't really necessary, thus causing societal discrimination against females, then and only then is it perhaps time to make a law about it.

People close to him say he's intelligent, for example, he taught himself rocket science, and it's not easy to become the richest man on Earth even if you do come from wealthy parents. But he is vain, apparently bans people for insulting him on Twitter despite supposedly running a free speech platform, posts some immature memes, etc. And, regarding Twitter, it seems his business style is "shoot from the hip," sort of like Trump, which resulted in Twitter losing many users and becoming worth a fraction of the price, which makes me angry. And speaking of Trump, I think he's a Trumpster. 🤢

[Paraphrased words of Elon Musk; Exact words: https://youtu.be/q2BXOTgHUNw] "Wanting world peace sounds great, but enforcing it might mean suppressing progress and having a stagnant society. Wishing for no war needs caution, as the means to achieve it could be worse than having occasional conflicts." Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
It's possible that the only way to avoid any war at all is with some kind of world-wide totalitarianism, but I doubt it. I think a One World Government would end war and would be a good thing ( https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2018/04/10/a-one-world-government/ ).

What is something that you have changed your mind about?

ColorStorm:
I don't change my mind much. The only things that come to mind are - I was raised a Christian, I was a hardcore believer, then eventually I apostatized - I was a Republican when I was younger, I believed the government should be as small as possible, then I changed to Democrat - After apostatizing from Christianity, I was unsure about whether there's a God for many years, now I'm more sure - I used to believe more strongly in an afterlife (separately from the whole Christian thing), now I'm not as sure - I used to think the Heaven's Gate cult was clearly insane, now I think, WTF do I know? For all I know, maybe reality really does work that way; maybe they hitched a ride on that comet and went to a better place. Maybe their leader was a truly wise man who gained such a devout following by demonstrating his wisdom.

Wieselmann:
Have you changed your mind about the afterlife recently? Ive always had the impression you would strongly believe in it

If you could choose one language that everyone in the world would speak fluently, besides English, which language would it be and why?

My first thought is Esperanto. It's a designed language (and, IIRC, it was designed to be a world language), so in many ways it's better than natural languages. But, on the other hand, natural languages have many aesthetic qualities that can't be accounted for and can't be replicated. So many French, just because I think it sounds beautiful. Oh, or maybe Lojban, another designed language, because it's designed to be perfectly clear and unambiguous. It has a very logical structure.

But still, how many planes were hijacked, like 3 or 4? Given how many planes were in the sky at the time, probably even *still* flying was more safe than driving on that day, knowing how ridiculously dangerous driving is.

Kate:
When the Roman Emperor Theodosius made the christian belief the national ideology and sole belief within the Empire the loss of libraries, culture, banks, literature and medicine and long distance trade was almost imminent. Also women became 2nd class citizens. The latter was directly connected to the former. Women in the old Empire were more educated, were able to read, write and calculate, organise libraries and accounts. Trade and banks relied upon accounts as they do today. Tough, eh?

ColorStorm:
I already hated Christianity, this definitely doesn't make it any better. :P

Kate:
There have been estimates of the economical losses, not to mention all other losses, when in Iran the rule of the Islamic State took over. Last week a young woman has been tortured with 42 whip lashes cause she had been caught without her mandatory veil. It is weird that Gods rule almost everywhere takes the form of physical brutality against women and a general disenfranchise of women. But it is not the only cause. There are others on top.

ColorStorm:
I would guess that boxing is dangerous no matter what your experience or why you're doing it. You don't have to have experience or necessarily to be serious to hit the other person hard, or relatively hard (as you may not have the muscles), in the head. In fact, without the one being hit having experience, the hit is that much more likely to land.

qotd favorite cat breed

ColorStorm:
Tortoiseshells are the prettiest cats. We have three of them, they're all related. Maine Coons are pretty cool since they're so big and have such long fur, and the Maine Coon we had had a really cool personality. He would just sit and watch people, like he was really curious about their behavior or something. And he was pretty chill. When another cat would growl at him or whatever, he would just completely ignore it, he gave zero f\*cks. And my mom says when the cats would gather around eating, he would establish dominance by simply going to each one and giving them a single small swipe on the head. Calicos are pretty nice-looking, we've had one, she was called spot. I wanted to call her canvas. She was predominantly white. Bengal cats are pretty cool because of their unique spotted coat pattern. Siamese cats are one of my least favorites, surpassed maybe only by hairless cats. I just find the shapes and locations of their dark areas very unaesthetic. I'm not sure if calicos and tortoiseshells actually count as breeds, since they can crop up randomly from mothers/fathers who aren't calico or tortoiseshell.

Wieselmann:
Do you think your parents are happy with how you turned out? Does their opinion matter to you?

ColorStorm:
I don't know how my father feels about how I turned out. I'm a stay-at-home son or whatever, once he got me a t-shirt that says "Stay at home son", so I guess he doesn't think too badly of it. My father once said that if his father was disappointed in him, he'd never know it. It's probably the same way with me and my father. I don't think he really realizes that it's *his* fault I can't work, so it would be rather unjust if he judged me for it. He doesn't seem to acknowledge his past behavior. I think my mom would want better for me, but only for my sake. I don't think she's disappointed in me per se, she loves me too much. =)

Is it good or bad news if we find out aliens exist?

ColorStorm:
I think the only bad side of it would be our own reaction to it as a society. I'm not sure what would happen, but there could be chaos. I don't think the aliens would likely be malevolent - I wrote about that here: https://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1630538&cid=31979040 I also think there's ample evidence that aliens are already visiting us (and, I think they probably have been for a long, long time) - I wrote about that here: https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/02/04/on-the-subject-of-aliens-and-their-crafts/

He had been my best friend in junior high and we still met sometimes for years afterward, but eventually we fell out of touch. Then I wanted to meet him again but I was too tired/sleepy when the time came so I just didn't go. I should have called him at least to tell him, but I was...less sane back then.=P

Wieselmann:
Why do you work out/not work out?

ColorStorm:
I used to work out my arms a little when we were going to the gym, just because I was already there and there's only so much time I want to spend on the treadmill, and probably more so just so I could gain a little muscle to look good and also be a little stronger in case I ever get into a fight. The reason I'd go on the treadmill is for the cardio so I don't end up having a heart attack and disappointing my mom, or having to get heart surgery or something. We're not going to the gym anymore, though, and I haven't asked to go back or done anything at home because I'm lazy and hate labor.

what's your favourite type of ice cream?

ColorStorm:
Here's what I said on Twitter about that the other month: Publix Chocolate Trinity or Publix Triple Peanut Butter Cup. Chocolate trinity is much darker chocolate than normal chocolate ice cream, it's a lot like Godiva Belgium Dark Chocolate ice cream that they used to make, but it also has ribbons of dark chocolate in it. The triple Peanut Butter Cup also has a lot more peanut butter than regular peanut butter ice cream. I also like Publix Chocolate Cherish Passion (cherry with dark chocolate chunks/cups), mint chocolate chip, pistachio, coffee, coconut, egg nog (only seen it once, it was delicious), and probably others I can't think of at the moment. I forgot to mention, I haven't seen either of the first two favorites I listed on the shelves for years, I guess they stopped making them. =/

Office problems. The computers don't even turn on, but the lights and air conditioning are working. Ever had something like that happening to you? How to fix that?

ColorStorm:
Two possibilities come to mind: 1. The outlets the computers are plugged into run on a different circuit from the lights and A/C, and that circuit has a thrown circuit breaker (or fuse, if anyone still uses those?). You could reset the circuit breaker in the electrical panel. But, something overloaded the circuit to throw the circuit breaker to begin with, so you could have a problem. Or 2. Somehow your power source has become impure, like not a good sine wave or the right number of phases or something, for example if you're now running on a generator. Electronics can be extra sensitive to that.

ColorStorm:
Or maybe I should say *digital* electronics can be extra sensitive to that

ColorStorm:
I honestly think from the '90s or maybe 2000s 'til now has the best hair styles, since they're not outlandish/overly worked in any way, they're just there and and unassuming. E.g., women can have long hair without having to make it puffy and awkward, sticking out right and left and with bangs, like in the '80s, they don't have to wear them in a specifically tailored shape raised way over their heads like in the '70s, etc. I don't know how haircuts were in the '20's, but I don't like bob cuts that much, I like long hair.

Why do you think you're not desirable?

ColorStorm:
Girls have never been interested in me, with a couple of rare exceptions. I'm just not social enough. I'm too serious, etc. And, now that I'm 45 (and not to mention my gut, and also that I'm pretty short), I'm not physically attractive either.

Kate:
That is the case with almost everybody. The number of people who are actually interested in a person are always rare. And think about some famous men like Hawking who was not very attractive but also suffered from a life long body deformation by his illness and still got divorced due to finding another love. You might find partners at the most unlikely places under the most rare circumstances at any age. You might argue Hawking was a genius. You seem to have also some unique qualities.

Kate:
Do you believe in lucky numbers?

ColorStorm:
I think there *probably* aren't any numbers that are *inherently* lucky or unlucky (but who knows?), but I believe numbers can probably be lucky or unlucky if you believe they are. Also, believing a certain numbers are auspicious or portentous seems to create a "protocol" between you and the universe, or maybe angels or guides or something, where you're shown those numbers to help guide your decisions. Aaron's answer that the concept of lucky numbers is pseudoscience bugs me, because it's so scientistic. Pseudoscience doesn't or shouldn't refer to anything that's not scientific. The root "pseudo" basically means that something is pretending to be something else, so pseudoscience should refer to ideas that purport to be scientistic but use specious scientific reasoning or evidence. Calling everything that's not science pseudoscience is like calling anything that's not leather faux leather, and it reflects the scientistic ideology that the only valid way to come to any conclusion or know anything is through science.

Kate:
Some people are celebrating ceremonies around their number thing and tend to give it an air of science to add to the mystery though they only implement the paraphernalia of science not the methods or rules of it. That is often called pseudoscience though that naming is not entirely right. But it has been used that way for as long as there is science I think. So I take Aaron's answer cum granum salis.

Why do softwares that have a massive investment in their development still have bugs?

ColorStorm:
Software is massively complex. It's bound to have bugs. If you threw, maybe, 10x as much money into it, you could probably iron out all or most of the kinks, but software companies find that that's not the optimal amount of money to spend. It wouldn't be worth it for them because they'd have to make their software so expensive that it wouldn't be competitive.

For me freedom is to roam places without fear. For some freedom is the liberty to take advantage of everything and everybody and the liberty to attack those doing the very same thing. You?

For me, freedom is lack of restriction/constraint, whatever one wishes to do. That's why absolute freedom isn't necessarily a good thing: none of us would be safe from evildoers. On the other hand, I think the truest freedom is love-based, not fear-based, so it doesn't wish to do harm.

ColorStorm:
I also sweat in my shirts sometimes, just a little bit, when out here in the living room/dining room because it's been so damn hot lately. I think our air conditioner isn't working right. But my dad hasn't replaced it because he thinks it's just because it's that time of year. I don't think so.

(He did have an air conditioner repairman check it out, but they couldn't find any problems. But I still think it's not working at full capacity because it's *never* been this hot for any sustained period of time in any of the past years.)

LaDamaX:
Which do you think society finds more acceptable—- drag queens or drag kings?

ColorStorm:
I'm assuming a drag king is a woman dressing as a man, so definitely drag kings. A woman wearing men's clothes isn't as much of a stretch as a man wearing woman's clothes, for example, many women wear pants already, while men don't traditionally wear skirts or dresses, and makeup wouldn't be an issue for them either. And male shirts are closer to being unisex than female shirts are. And high heels wouldn't be involved, etc. Also, a male would be more offended by a female pretending to be a male than a male pretending to be a female, because the former is more of an attack on his sense of sexuality. Whereas woman wouldn't be offended by a female pretending to be a man, because women aren't as physically oriented regarding sexuality, and also they're generally more bisexual. Also, females are the fairer sex, so a baser male pretending to elevate themselves to being female and to have the fairer female energy is more profane than vice versa.

A person was driving in my city and heard a thump on the roof. It turns out a single fish had fallen down onto his car out of nowhere. Is that proof that the supernatural exists?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure. It's hard to think of a "logical" (i.e., non-paranormal) reason for that that's remotely likely, but on the other hand, to assume the paranormal is to assume a lot. Strange stuff has fallen from the sky many times, such as frogs, for example, where it seems that something paranormal must be going on. Though there are also (possibly reaching) "scientific" theories. Some possible mundane (or at least non-paranormal) explanations for the fish are: - a bird flying overhead that had caught it and planned on eating it dropped it - someone threw it out of a plane (why ???) - it was picked up by a storm

Kate:
I did get that advice for training 'proper kissing' : Smash an egg and separate the yolk from the egg white. Take the yolk inside your mouth without damaging it. While kissing another person let the yolk slip into their mouth back and forth as long as you like. Whoever damages the yolk lost the game. - Would you?

ColorStorm:
Absolutely not. Gross. And I don't really see what the point of this exercise is. How does it improve our kissing? And I think kissing is something that we naturally know how to do, or that we should just do in the way that comes naturally to us, since it's an intimate sharing of affection guided by feeling, intuition and connection. I think practicing for or using "techniques" for things like kissing and sex is unholy.

Kate:
You probably would think differently when you experience a real untalented naturally rough and affection-less kisser? Though I think that egg yolk thing is disgusting. But, I imagine doing it with a cherry might be sensual and natural and enjoyable.

ColorStorm:
I think if the kisser is affectionless, they probably shouldn't be kissing in the first place. You can't learn affection with techniques. As for rough, I don't think I'd mind that. Whatever they want to do.

ColorStorm:
(I say they probably shouldn't be kissing if they're affectionless because the whole purpose of kissing is to share affection. And not to mention that simulating affection can have disastrous consequences on the recipient's psyche.)

Kate:
Both are correct but also natural talents by nature can evolve by exercise. We do not learn to ride a bike by just hoping to master it when we get one. All beginning is fearsome and troubled as we are anxious beings and the more in love the more anxious. But an egg is no replacement for the happiness of leaning to caress with a loved soul.

Oh, and I'm also proud of my scribbles3 program, https://github.com/inhahe/scribbles3 , and the algorithms I've come up with...I figured out the popular efficient algorithm for converting one numeric base to another on my own (and my program converts the decimal part of the number, too, and detects repeating decimals), I figured out the most efficient way of finding all the prime numbers within a range (besides the sieve method), I figured out a memory allocation algorithm, with no prior knowledge of how memory allocation works, that I later discovered somebody else had also discovered and that was then implemented in the Linux kernel. And there's one other algorithm named after somebody that I independently discovered, but I can't remember what it was atm.

AGR:
What goes around, comes around. Is it true?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, spiritualist sources say that you get back what you put out, for example in Wicca there's the Three-fold Law, which holds that "whatever energy a person puts out into the world, be it positive or negative, will be returned to that person three times," and in Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, God says something like, "Whatever you cause another to experience, you will one day experience." Then there are psychological principles like, expressing love others makes you feel more worthy of receiving it, so you're able to accept it from others. Personally, experience tells me that the specific things you do to others probably won't come back to you (at least not in this lifetime), but they may have other consequences. For example, you could lose friends, go to prison, get beat up, have people want to do you favors, etc., as a result of your negative or positive treatment of others. But not always.

AGR:
Yeah, I think positivity helps in forming better relations.

Have you ever? "Please, text me back so I can tell you I don't care any more! "

ColorStorm:
I haven't done that, but I guess it's not necessarily beneath me. Though if I found myself wishing for that, I'd feel ashamed for being so petty.

Kate:
What the heart wants comes with the same impact and momentum like those things that are dictated by the brain. The power is there though it might appear as silly.

So my barber showed me that I'm starting to lose hair on the back of my head. Should I be worried?

ColorStorm:
Well, I guess you're going to get balder and balder. I have the impression women don't like baldness, but that could be more of a male perception/fear that women don't like baldness. I don't know how gay men feel about baldness. But in any case, if it gets bad enough, you can always just shave your head. That's what all the bald(ing) guys within dating age do.

Recommend me a song or album, and if I ever get around to listening to it, I'll recommend one back!

ColorStorm:
https://hexsystem.bandcamp.com/album/spiritual-paralysis (brand new album)

f00fc7c8:
absolutely LOVED this album. projects like this are why I like electronic music so much, the ability to make new sounds just for one song and blend it all together into a perfect soundscape. i especially like "still here" with its glitch beat. i recommend "univrs" by alva noto. bit of an experimental mix of glitch and minimal techno

ColorStorm:
You might want to try the other albums by HEXSYSTEM, too. I don't remember how they sound exactly, but I must have liked them a lot to have put that band on my watchlist. (That's how I knew about this album, I got an e-mail from Bandcamp.)

fizzyarthur:
AI question: Are reasoning language models like DeepSeek R1 and OpenAI o3 inherently inefficient due to their tendency to engage in extensive internal dialogue before providing an (often short) answer? Do the computational resources required to support such reasoning capabilities outweigh any potential benefits they may offer?

ColorStorm:
I don't know the details of DeepSeek and OpenAI o3, but I know that even older models have to run the entire model for *each word* they produce. That seems pretty inefficient. And also, I think I heard that LLMs are now taking a nontrivial proportion of the world's energy (and hence carbon footprint)--as much as some small countries. Add to that that their apparent benefits are dubious--they take human jobs, they're prone to inaccuracies that sound believable, or making programs with subtle bugs, etc. And now we can't tell what's actually human-produced vs what's AI-produced, like for example news articles...and some students' essays are being incorrectly flagged as probable AI, which threatens their entire education. And so on.

anonymous:
what was your opinion on jerry springer?

ColorStorm:
Funny, I was just thinking about him and Maury and Donnahue a couple of days ago. I don't know, I guess he's an okay guy, but his line of work seems rather sleazy. Actually, I think I vaguely remember hearing about his story a long time ago and maybe taking a liking to him, but I can't remember what I'd heard. Anyway, he takes (or took? Is he really still doing his thing after all these years??) the lowest-vibrational people/situations and airs out their petty drama for all the world to decadently indulge in. It's such a small-minded thing to be entertained by. It's like people who enjoy gossip, but worse. To be honest, though, I actually don't remember what his show is like and I don't know if the drama is particularly petty or low-frequency. I remember thinking Maury was much worse than him. And I guess you could argue that by working through the drama with intelligence/wisdom he educated the masses in the arena of perspective/emotional intelligence, I remember seeing some of that.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, I was also going to mention that I think I heard that he used actors, too, which seems highly unethical to me, because I don't like/believe in any type of fakery or deception. But to try to look an the bright side, I guess the acting was just used as a vehicle for him to disseminate his wisdom.

filialunae:
do you enjoy art that imitates your life or would that not be interesting or entertaining to you?

ColorStorm:
Imitates my life how? Like to what degree? I guess you don't mean something that was made specifically with me in mind, so it can only imitate it so much. Groundhog Day comes to mind, and I really liked that movie. Hmm, what else.. Edward Scissorhands, which I liked.

filialunae:
yeah, to a degree where something makes you say - oh that’s really relatable.

filialunae:
have you ever went back to something you enjoyed as a younger person or child - like a movie, song, book, etc. - that you found a completely different meaning to as an adult? and did you like it the same, more, or less?

ColorStorm:
There's one, when I was little, I had a book called "I can't, said the ant", and I never really related to it, didn't particularly see a point to it, at least as far as I was concerned. My parents got me another copy of it just a few years ago because the old one was ruined. Now I see how I'm basically the ant in that book. =P

filialunae:
do you prefer to be social in a group setting, one on one, through a text convo, or phone call if you had to pick one

ColorStorm:
I prefer text conversations to real ones, because of my social anxiety. I think I prefer a group to one-on-one, or maybe it depends on who's involved. Actually in some ways I did like being in person better when I still had friends who live around here, even though I hardly spoke.

Kate:
Do you think that lesbian couples adopting children will lack the masculine father role for the kids?

ColorStorm:
Not necessarily, the biggest reason being that the nuclear family with exactly one mother and one father is illegitimate and unnatural anyway, it's purely a product of the Industrial Revolution. Another reason is that what passes for masculinity these days is mostly toxic hypermasculinity anyway. Another reason is that children seem to find their own way, they don't necessarily just take after who their parents are. Another reason is, like someone else said, women can be masculine (maybe especially lesbians playing the dominant role?). To be sure either way, though, I'd have to see some studies/statistics on the subject. I disagree with Aaron's answer that the masculine and feminine are social constructs and no more, as well as yeets' answer that they're just two of many possible identities. They're both just reflecting the popular Western ideology of the times, which is an overreaction to the overly strict, specific roles society has historically given to males and females. The masculine and feminine are real, actual archetypes/qualities/sets of qualities that are heavily reflected in the respective sexes, by nature. It's obvious that the masculine and feminine qualities are inherent in the two sexes, at least to me, and it's sad that most people aren't perceptive enough to recognize this.

LaDamaX:
Would you rather try horse flesh, caviar, bleu cheese, or squid ink flavored ice cream?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure whether you mean horse flesh flavored ice cream, caviar flavored ice cream, etc., or those things independently and then the squid ink ice cream ;P I'm not that big into meat, and I'd hate the idea of eating a horse since they're such noble creatures, so that's out. Caviar I've had, I didn't like it, it was saltier than ocean water Blue Cheese I've had tons of times, it's not so great by itself, but it's good in certain salads. Even though it's literally moldy cheese. =P So, squid ink flavored ice cream it is. Though I'm scared. =P

fizzyarthur:
Posters of the face of man with real used condoms glued on them suddenly appeared in many places of my city. The man is black and is supposedly a local writer. While the news won't confirm anything, it's obvious that is targeted harassment done by a racist group. What should the authorities do to prevent such horrible acts?

ColorStorm:
Not much they can do that I can think of, except maybe teach inclusion in public schools, like Kate said. I mean, you could make the punishment for such offenses so extremely severe that people would be afraid to commit them (despite the difficulty in catching the perpetrators of such crimes), but IMO that would be too heavy-handed.

Kate:
Now that the Supreme Court in the US basically made the President a King the only way to hold them accountable is using the Kennedy method? WTF?

ColorStorm:
Oh? WTF did they rule? Though I really do wish somebody would use the "Kennedy method" on Trump. I've been wishing that since the first time he ran for President.

ColorStorm:
I would personally congratulate them on death row in a letter for being such a hero and a martyr.

ColorStorm:
s/wish/wish\/hope/

ColorStorm:
s/wishing/wishing\/hoping/

ColorStorm:
*a hero and a martyr in service to our country and the greater good

ColorStorm:
hmm, no, "a hero and a martyr in service to our country and to humanity." but then, that excludes all the other plant and animal species...which they'd also have improved things for, since Trump is *highly* anti-environmentalist. But then, I think "and to humanity" sounds better than "and to the world", and he wouldn't know that I meant anything other than humanity by "and to the world" anyway. And "and to the biosphere" is just awkward. Wait, how about "and to the future of life on Earth" or "and to all

ColorStorm:
of life on Earth"? Nah, that just sounds overly dramatic, even if it really is true.

ColorStorm:
Well, the "and to the future of life on Earth" option may not sound too dramatic. So maybe that would be okay. Or maybe "and to humanity at large" instead of just "and to humanity."

ColorStorm:
Maybe "a hero and a martyr in service to our country and to humanity at large and all the other flora and fauna."

ColorStorm:
Eh, sounds less believable.

ColorStorm:
"in service to our country and to humanity at large and to the future of life on Earth." "in service to our country, to humanity at large, and to the future of Life on Earth."

ColorStorm:
I think we have a winner!

ColorStorm:
but s/Life/life/ (typo)

ColorStorm:
..now all we need is a martyr! Wouldn't want my efforts to go to waste.

Kate:
The US Supreme Court ruled that every action a President does as an act of duty in service is beyond the law. Which is practically a carte blanche in political terms. President Biden could therefore drown Trump in his own swimming pool like Putin does it. Or he could nuke Mara Lago. Hello?

ColorStorm:
I guess it depends on how the court then interprets "duty" and "in service" when the president is actually tried for doing something heinous.

Kate:
That wasn't an exact quote. And that carte blanche allows any action against potential accusations too. If you have enough political followers you could also start scratching off the thin layer of the rest of the constitutional rules and assume total power.

ColorStorm:
oh, but who as President would actually be Machiavellian and brazen enough to try to break down the system to assume total power ...oh, yeah, Trump. ;/

Kate:
..got it. Not only that one. There are enough morons there to try and follow those steps...

I don't have a friend group, my friend don't generally talk to each other.

f00fc7c8:
i would call that a kind of social redundancy

Send the bill to Germany! Let it stay where it is as it hasn't blown up since many years now it will not do so now! Will improve Plymouth if it goes off! - What do you think?

ColorStorm:
The commenters just make me think of the hoi polloi. Remove the bomb and I guess evacuate the neighborhood in the meantime if they deem that necessary.

Hoi polloi is good! LOL

Kate:
What are your markers of success? How well you slept at night? How easily to be brought to laugh? How good to bear shitty humans? None of these? Why?

ColorStorm:
For me personally, the last thing you listed is kind of spot on for a marker of success. I'm very judgmental, and I want to be not judgmental at all. I want to love and see the value in/true nature of *everyone*. For people in general, that's one marker of success, but another one is not feeling the need to lash back at someone who insults them. That's really rare. Also, being able to forgive people for heinous crimes against them or their family. Another one is not feeling the need to seek validation, for someone who has a history of trauma, neglect, etc. A major one is being at peace...with oneself, one's situation, the world, whatever. Another is the ability to get what one wants. Another is being nice to homeless people, animals, service workers, etc., and generally uplifting anyone you meet. Another is getting a book published, hehe. I know, everyone wants to write a book.. =P Another one is the tendency to stand up for others, especially those who are looked down on by society, oppressed, etc., or even people/groups who are disliked or oppressed in some ways but are socially dominant. Especially if the person in question doesn't belong to the group they're defending and may even belong to a group that's typically opposed to it.

Kate:
Another marker of success might be to have only a small number of soul shadows that follow you, those you did harm, those you loved and didn't let lose, those you hated and the hate takes their shape and follows you, those you left behind without helping them if you could, those who died without giving them a good bye...

How do you say "dandelion" ? Is it just "dande" followed by a big cat or is it "dan" de lion a person named Daniel of noble descent with a lion in the crest? I'm always confused. And what is this "dande" anyway? Is it from "dent" like in dentist? Then dandelion would be tooth of a lion. That would make sense as in German it is exactly that "Lionstooth".

ColorStorm:
Weird they would call that plant a lion's tooth, I don't see the resemblence. =P We pronounce it DAN dee LIon on my family, but I'm not sure if that's correct. It might be DAN de LIon for all I know.

ColorStorm:
in\* my family

Kate:
I think the shape of the leafs with the pointy edges are said to resemble lion's teeth. The name dates back many centuries and I'm pretty sure most people then had no clue how a lion does look like. When you look at pictures in paintings from centuries ago lions often look more like dogs or bears.

I've never heard of that, is that something outside of America?

fizzyarthur:
Why is it so good to work with things you feel important and with people who think like you?

ColorStorm:
Isn't it obvious? I mean, I'm not sure why you're asking, it seems self-explanatory...but, I'll try to explain. If you work on things you feel are important, you'll be more energized and motivated, where as if you work on things you don't really care about, you'll constantly have to be forcing yourself to slave away at the drudgery. And, of course, accomplishing things you care about makes you fulfilled and satisfied, your life has purpose and meaning, and your work probably does the rest of the world a lot more good, too, because if you're passionate about something, there's probably a good reason, whereas a lot of menial jobs are more or less unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. And working with people who think like you is important because it increases harmony and the chances of you being able to realize your goals, through cooperation with like-minded individuals--people who are aligned with your goals, and also people who think like you will understand you better and vice versa which is great for communication and efficiency.

fizzyarthur:
So this CD store was small but full of used CDs and people. My question is, how do they manage to have so many customers if no one uses CDs anymore? Is it a money laundering front?

ColorStorm:
The only thing I can think of is that there are so few CD stores nowadays that those few who still want to use CDs have nowhere else to go, or at least come to any given CD store from far and wide. So only a few stores can be lucky enough to be successful as the last few holdouts, or the owners were just very strategic in selecting a location and such. I've noticed there being a big cult around making and collecting retro vinyl records, but I haven't seen that around CDs unlike what Kate said. The whole supposed advantage of vinyl is that it's not digital so it can contain fidelity that digital recordings don't, while CDs are digital so listening to one is identical to listening to, say, a .flac file, and with everything being streaming and computer-storage based nowadays there's no reason to default to CDs.

ColorStorm:
The "last few holdouts" thing applies not only to CD stores but to any kind of product/service that's dying/becoming culturally obsolete. For example, the last remaining Blockbuster.

ColorStorm:
I wanted to answer this question by Sleet (@STREAMER), but Retrospring seems to be having issues and the question won't load, so I'm going to post it myself and see if I can answer it. ₊˚⊹ — Do you feel as though you could be (reasonably or not) targeted for something like a ‘call out’? If so, would people believe it? Now, I’m not inviting you to talk about your ‘’’hot takes’’’, or controversial opinions. Firstly because I don’t really care (I would still read it if you spoke about it, to be honest) but secondly because it isn’t exactly what I’m trying to convey with the question. Okay so I may have slightly deceived you. I have a secret second question that I’d much prefer you try to answer; a hypothetical scenario! If someone were to write a call out about you—COMPLETELY false—would people believe it naturally? Would your answer change depending on specific variables? Does it matter who wrote it? Does it matter what the accusation is (take it as something pretty serious)? And maybe an interesting follow up: do you think you would be able to defend yourself with skill? Would people believe you after hearing your side? Do you maybe have experience with this in the past? (Do you think you deserve any false accusations?) — This may seem a bit much, so my bad… but for those of you who always answer my questions, with a lot of thought and effort, who at least seem to have fun with it—I look towards your answers.

ColorStorm:
I'm not a part of the Retrospring culture that does callouts, I've only seen them once or twice and didn't know they were an actual thing until this question. I'm oldschool Retrospring, we're pretty chill and drama-free. And I don't really engage in problematic behavior, except some things that may be slightly problematic once in a while. So I'm unlikely to be called out by anyone, but I can't say it's impossible because you never know what people are going to do, people can be erratic and unreasonable. If it happened, I'm assuming some people would believe it, just because that's the nature of drama, gossip, and cancel culture. Those who have actually been following me for a long time may not, but maybe some would, I'm not sure. And those people probably wouldn't be following the type of people who would do a callout anyway. Would it depend on what the accusation is? I'd say of course it would, or at least of course it would for some/most people, but I can't really think of any examples. It would probably depend on who wrote it, specifically on whether they know and trust that person. Or maybe if the accusation included actual quotes, they'd figure the person wouldn't likely have made them up? But if there were actual quotes, they should be available for all to see, so the person should have included links. Unless I they're talking about things that happened off Retrospring, but I don't know any Retrospringers on any other sites, except for a couple on Facebook, who I never interact with there. But I guess somebody could make something up about things I said on another site, or could conceivably misidentify me as them. To whether I could defend myself with skill, I'm pretty good at writing and expressing or defending myself, but I'm not sure there would be any possible way to prove or be convincing that I didn't do those things so I'm not sure it would matter. If the meaning, intentions or context of what I said was misconstrued or spun, though, I would be able to effectively articulate the misunderstanding. Well, it's more certain that I'd be able to if it were misconstrued than if it were a spin, but I still would probably would be able to in the case of a spin. I don't really have any experience with being called out in the past. One person on Retrospring did accuse me of something very taboo that people tend to be hysterical about, and I think the label was exaggerated/misleading, but it was just as a weapon to use in the course of argument, not an elaborate call-out for its own sake, and nobody else responded to it and it was deep in the comments so probably hardly anyone saw it. It was also made by someone who was widely regarded as emotionally imbalanced and combative. To the last question, of whether I think I deserve any false accusations, that's a rather weird question. Why would *anyone* deserve any false accusations? False accusations are practically unjust by definition. The only possible argument i-is if they did other bad things that they went unpunished for, but then they should have been punished for those things, not the thing they didn't do. I don't think *any* type of misinformation is ultimately healthy. There's also the possibility that the person just has low self-esteem/hates themselves so they think bad things should happen to them, but even in that case I think they'd be unlikely to wish for an injustice/misunderstanding. They'd have to be pretty masochistic in a broad/flexible (or oddly specific and unlikely) way. Which may be remotely possible, but no, it doesn't apply to me.

f00fc7c8:
for the future, it would have made more sense to enter this question into your own inbox instead of an "ask all"

ColorStorm:
I knew I could've done that, but I didn't want to prevent others from answering it upon seeing the question if they wanted to. (Theoretically they could have answered Sleet's original posting instead, but it would be work to get to it, and the page is failing to load anyway...) Unless there's some reason I don't know about that I should have sent it to my own inbox

ColorStorm:
I guess some of my followers may be following Sleet and have already seen the question, but some/most probably aren't.

Oh, that makes sense too. I was able to get to the original posting but the load times were astronomically slow and sometimes I got CloudFlare "Gateway Timeout" pages

What was the first song you head this februray however you spell it, for me it was marshall maximizer

ColorStorm:
The only one I can think of is R.E.M. - What's the Frequency Kenneth. Though I didn't listen to it all because it sucked. Realistically though it was probably a song in one of the shows I saw this morning or the movie I watched. For example, maybe the first song in Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, whatever that was.

What's your favorite "so bad it's good" media?

ColorStorm:
I honestly don't understand the "so bad it's good" reaction. I don't enjoy crappy products on any level.

LaDamaX:
Why is BASIC so bad/negative? 🤷🏻‍♀️

ColorStorm:
Since you put it in all caps, I'm not sure if you mean BASIC the programming language, or basic as in the type of person. If it's the type of person, I forget exactly what it means, but I think it means plain dressing, etc. In which case, I'd guess that people attack it because it shows them how much trouble they go to to be popular and liked. If it's the programming language, well, it's a really "basic" programming language. It's not very featureful, the syntax is kind of clumsy, it's slow, etc. It was just used because it was really easy for the newbie, but Python exists nowadays and is just as easy but is a real programming language. I used to program in BASIC and then QuickBasic a ton, but I wouldn't do it again now that I know other programming languages.

AGR:
Do things have to be logical?

ColorStorm:
🎵 A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men🎵 Even besides the illogical, though, not everything has to be logical. Many things are neither logical nor illogical. Like intuition, for example. Or perception before its interpretation. Or art, creative self-expression, aesthetics, etc.

AGR:
Yeah, like energy too

Have you met someone you would describe as an angel?

ColorStorm:
Yes, I've met a couple of people that I suspected were literally incarnated angels. One of them wasn't even a woman.

AGR:
Can you sense energy? I'm curious.

ColorStorm:
I can get a sense of energy based on a person's looks, actions, etc., but it's been a long time since I've felt someone's energy directly.

Andy:
Is there any word or expression from the 'youth of today' you actually find useful or funny? (i.e. YEET, thiqq, no cap, dead, lit etc.)

ColorStorm:
noseeums (more useful than funny. but also kinda cute. not that I've ever used it. well, maybe once or twice) i find "i can't even" kind of charming "ghosting" is useful. "cancel culture" is useful (to say how much it sucks that it exists) i like "main character syndrome" i like "this ain't it, chief" maybe I like yeet a little

ColorStorm:
oh, i see that no-see-ums would invented it 1832 or something. i thought it must be new because i never heard it when i was growing up. i see it started taking off in usage and hit a peak around 2000.

ColorStorm:
oh, yeah, saturn reminded me that "cringe" is also very useful.

LianSirenia:
When can embarrassing questions be fun~? To contrast, when are they not?

ColorStorm:
When it's the kind of embarrassing thing the person can be lighthearted about, because they don't actually judge/condemn themselves for it, and other people aren't likely to judge/condemn them for it either. That raises the question of why such a thing would be embarrassing in the first place. For one example, someone once asked what thing you're embarrassed to admit you like or something, and I said the song Macarena. Everyone hates Macarena now, it's probably seen as kind of corny, an outdated fad, but it's no big deal. It's not a moral failing or a clear and important weakness to like it. And I certainly don't judge *myself* for liking it, I have awesome taste in music. Nobody has better music taste than me. But then, tbh, I'm not sure I was actually "embarrassed" by it either. But anyway, another factor is that somehow the context of it being something you're embarrassed to admit creates a space for being able to say it without judgment. Like with so many other things, framing is everything.

Wieselmann:
What do you associate with your hometown?

ColorStorm:
There are a few things that stand out about my hometown, such as the hot, humid weather and number of non-English-speaking Cubans, but I guess the first thing I tend to associate with it is the fact that it's so flat. There are zero hills or mountains, unless you count trash heaps. Well, actually our own house is on a hill that's a few feet high, but I'm pretty sure it's man-made.

No, I don't remember ever having that problem. If I'm trying to communicate by giving hints rather than being direct, that's my fault.

Shannon:
Do you consider having your teeth done plastic surgery?

ColorStorm:
I think technically it's not plastic surgery. I guess it's not cosmetic surgery either, since I'm not sure it's technically surgery at all. But in spirit? I don't know, I don't really consider it to be like that when you're just getting work done to restore them to their rightful state. If you're getting something like vampire teeth put in, or gold teeth, I guess that would count in spirit.

Kate:
We tend to split words as we understand them: Ham-Burger. Ham, yummy. Yes, but the food originally came from the city of Hamburg in northern Germany under the name of 'Hamburger Sandwich', shortened to 'Hamburger' and then further shortened to 'burger'. It has nothing to do with ham. Given what they sometimes sell under that name I'd wish it had something in common with ham!

ColorStorm:
Yeah, that's similar to how the ham croquette actually originated in Ham Croquette, France. It's just a coincidence that they contain ham.

Kate:
What are some of your weirdest dreams if you want to share, please? Me: last night I dreamt I found a genie in a bottle. Bottle was stained blue glass and genie was a sassy blonde woman-like witch eating my Nutella. Damn!

ColorStorm:
rav: HAHAHA rav: to be fair I am v terrified of bugs me: ooh 😛 I'm not, but incidentally I dreamed last night that spiders and ants were taking over the world and eating everybody alive (and it was my fault) 😛 Yesterday, 11:33 AM rav: HAHAHHAHA rav: how did that even happen me: There was like a square on the wall with some spiders crawling all over it, and for some reason - I just had an inexplicable urge to - I just cast some spiders onto the square with the ants. (Or maybe it had spiders and I added ants? idr). And mixing the spiders with the ants caused some kind of catastrophic chain reaction. 😛 I mean a rectangle, not a square And anyway I ran through the building and run up to higher and higher floors trying to get away from the insects until I came to this small room on the top floor where they were preparing food for the whole building. For some reason all the bugs died when they got to that room, so I was safe. This lady said it stank in that room, but I couldn't smell it so I didn't care. Then this guy who had a priestly kind of vibe put his palm against mine for a while and then said I had to promise to do two things two things, and then I wouldn't be confused in the afterlife. One, he have me a gold-colored time piece, but it was all aged and darkened. He said I had to make it pretty. And two, I think he said I had to "make it right." I had no idea how to make the time piece pretty, I didn't know what materials to use or where to find those materials in the building. But I realized I could just google how to do it next time I got to a computer. The "make it right" probably had to do with other stuff that happened in the dream before the bugs I was in this house, and the owner of the house was like one with the house and could make a lot of things happen, things that should be physically impossible. And he bullied/abused me. Then I was given an option to play/become a certain character, and the character I would become depended on where I drew a curve or placed a dot on a certain image. I somehow intuitively knew/remembered, without understanding the logic of it at all, that if I put the dot/curve right in the middle between something on the left and a building at a certain height, it would allow me to play/embody God So I did that Then I was the building and I took revenge on the guy who bullied me I think. I don't really remember that part now. 6/30/23, 5:18 AM You sent The part I'm interested in most is the meaning of the tarnished gold time piece. (But I'm interested in everything else, too.) 6/30/23, 5:44 AM You sent oh, btw, I realized I didn't explain well enough how the old guy with the priestly vibe touched my head. The bottom of his hand was against the bottom of my hand, but with our hands pointing in opposite directions, like when you shake hands. except our hands were straight. You sent i mean touched my hand, not head 6/30/23, 6:59 AM You sent Also I'm not sure the second thing the priestly guy said I must do was "make ti right", I just think it might have been something to that effect You sent it* 7/2/23, 1:47 PM You sent While I was dreaming (a different night) I thought about the gold watch thing and I was sure what it meant immediately. It seemed to mean that I have to rejuvenate my mind, think more childlike / like an average person. Mentally it's like I've lived a long, long time. And this is something I've worried about before (regarding possibly being confused in the afterlife), so it makes sense that it would be in the dream. Though I don't know why my dream would give me such an impossible task. 😛

Kate:

Are you more of a leader, follower or in between?

ColorStorm:
I'm not much of a leader, not socially savvy enough and also way too much social anxiety. Not sure I'm much of a follower, either--I tend to go my own way. I remember even in Junior High, one of my teachers said, "Richard marches to the beat of a different drummer," or something like that. =P

Lol, it's not a bad thing. Might get a little lonely but the path itself is alright.

Not to be one of the people talking about random discourse here but don't you hate it when someone has a totally valid point but one of the "facts" they use to justify it is wrong but you can't point it out without making it look like you disagree with their whole point?

ColorStorm:
When I want to point out that an argument used for a particular position that I agree with is flawed, I just say something like, I agree that blah blah blah, but.. or I mention that I agree with it at the end.

ColorStorm:
Yes, I sleep pretty well and for a lot of hours. I just have no rhyme or reason to when or how long I sleep. I do tend to wake up a lot of times and go back to sleep, but it doesn't really bother me. I still sleep well. Maybe nowadays I only do that when I've been sleeping for too long, I'm not sure.

Shannon:
What would you do if you came into millions of money?

ColorStorm:
It depends on how many millions. If it's like, hundreds of millions, I'd set up an organization to try to influence the politics of my country. Campaign reform, getting business money out of government, etc. Or maybe I'd do something else, I have a few ideas for projects. One of them is to create an incubator for non-profit, employee-owned and/or community-owned businesses to improve working conditions and community benefit and mitigate profiteering and wealth inequality. And I have other project ideas. I'd also buy my parents a new house. And I've always wanted a 4"x4" tungsten cube, so I'd get that. I'd do that even if I only got a small number of millions. If I only got a few million, I might just save it for living the rest of my life comfortably.

f00fc7c8:
When you consume fiction and participate in fandoms, are you more interested in the story, the lore/setting, the characters, or all three equally? And what elements of them specifically interest you?

ColorStorm:
I don't consume much fiction, just a couple of TV shows, adult cartoon sitcoms. In those cases I'm more interested in the characters and funny events. Well, I do also watch movies now and then, which are almost all fiction, including some anime movies, mostly Studio Ghibli ones. For movies I guess it's mostly the story and the characters, and in some cases the action. In movies set in the future or past, the setting is also interesting, maybe even the most interesting thing. If you can count the general mystical qualities of Studio Ghibli films (and maybe other anime?) as lore, then I like the lore too in those cases, a lot. I've only ever participated in one fandom (or actually just witnessed, never really saying anything), Arianators on Twitter. And it wasn't even because I like Ariana Grande (though I did kind of adore her character on Victorious), for much of the time I was following 1500 of her fans I wasn't even following Ariana Grande. I just needed/wanted some source of uplifting positivity in my life, and I noticed that the Arianators were more generally more positive than any other fandom on Twitter.

"ps ps ps ps", or "Heeeeere kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty!!" in a high-pitched voice.

BobOmbMonkey:
I love that so many people say "ps ps ps," it seems very universal!

filialunae:
is there a common trait in people you attract?

ColorStorm:
A friend once said I attract cool people. I've been friends with a lot of people who I find amazing for various reasons. Another thing I noticed I attract is schizophrenics. There was a time in my life where it seemed the only people who talked to me out of the blue and kept talking to me were schizophrenics, like five of them or something. And I only have one schizophrenic friend now, but boy do I see a lot of highly schizophrenic activity in IRC. I guess it's something about the channels I choose to join. Nowadays, regarding people who seem to want to talk to me, it's mainly just fellow losers. I mean, I try not to see anybody as a "loser" and tend not to, but I mean "losers" according to their status within and judgment by greater society. It's amazing how like energy attracts like. =P

ColorStorm:
I've used it many times (over the years), but not really that often in the scheme of things. I don't usually "discover" things on it, just find things I already knew once existed, or follow links people give to webpages on it. But I guess a couple interesting things I (sort of) discovered were my old website from back in the '90s and my friend's old website from the same time period.

LaDamaX:
Why do you think many of us feel cringy-worthy when we see or hear ourselves on video? Is it because the vision that we have of ourselves doesn’t match what we see/hear?

ColorStorm:
Part of the hearing aspect is that our voices sound deeper to us when we're speaking than they do in recordings, because we hear it not only through the air but through our own skulls, and lower-frequency sounds travels through mediums better than higher-frequency ones, and also the sound resonates in certain cavities within the skull. I don't know about video, except that obviously when we look in mirrors we only see ourselves head-on. And we don't normally see our own mannerisms and such. Maybe we interpret our own mannerisms uncharitably due to poor self-image.

LaDamaX:
I sound more congested/nasally on recorded stuff, I feel.

LaDamaX:
Please describe your childhood self. You may use visual art, a poem, a song, interpretive dance, etc.

ColorStorm:
sweet, sensitive, extremely shy/terrified of people, felt that everyone in the world hated my guts, ultra-logical, wanted girls more than anything, super smart, super lazy/loathed mental labor or probably any other kind of labor, very deep and philosophical, my mom tells me I didn't talk about things kids usually talk about, but she doesn't remember what I'd talk about. Sorry, I'm not good at poetry/art. =P

LaDamaX:
Just built different- not neurotypical? What are your other siblings like? What is your birth order?

ColorStorm:
I don't think I'm neurodivergent. And some of those traits, especially the shyness, came from my parents being extremely and consistently emotionally abusive. My two sisters aren't really shy like me (one of them was when she was younger, but not as much probably), my dad was worse to me than he was to them. I'm the firstborn.

ColorStorm:
One of my sisters is smart, audacious, and frequently evil to me. The other is extremely hardworking and sticks up for people. And is sometimes suicidal.

[2024-04-10]

Shannon:
What's your opinion on religious holidays?

ColorStorm:
They can be fun, and you don't have to celebrate them for religious reasons or bring religion into it, because they've become cultural norms with prominent non-religious elements involved (for example, Easter is supposedly about Jesus' resurrection, but we really celebrate it with Easter bunnies, eggs and candies, or Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus' birth, but it mostly centers around Santa, gifts, Christmas lights, etc.), so you don't have to subject yourself to the ridiculousness of religion to enjoy them. On the other hand, there may be a little bit of cognitive dissonance involved for atheists insofar as the religious elements are more or less unavoidable (such as people putting up nativities and Christmas music often having lyrics about Jesus' birth) or fundamental to the meaning of the holiday. Then I guess there are religious holidays that are only celebrated by religious people, such as Hanukkah, which I don't have much opinion about other than that the religions themselves, and by extension the holidays, are fundamentally ridiculous. But I guess those holidays can be fun or rewarding for their practitioners anyway (but maybe not as fun as Christmas or Easter). But they're a shame inasmuch as they're part of the general religious brainwashing of the children who partake in them.

How do you introduce your spouse/partner/significant other in your language without calling them by their role name as spouse/partner/significant other? or do you simply say 'this is my wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/anything without adding their name? I do introduce my girlfriend just by her name without mentioning our type of relationship. Which sometimes seems to be regarded as misleading or unfriendly at times. How do you do everybody justice?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I don't remember ever having to introduce a girlfriend. I guess because I'm not very social (including not often having a girlfriend). If I did, I think I would just introduce the by name.

No, but i should probably do that. Not to potentially change my mind, because I'm always right, but to be able to make stronger arguments for my cases.

A big muscly famous bodybuilder challenges a former fighting champion. Said bodybuilder loses before the first round ends. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
It's not surprising. I've heard similar stories. And the one who trained specifically for that type of event won. Fighting is about so much more than muscle, of course. And not to mention that too much muscle probably even gives you less agility. Also their muscles are trained for strength, not speed.

ColorStorm:
I didn't know people do that. That's weird. Need more information.

When someone is speaking (in my case a teacher), not everyone pays attention and leave their microphone on, often talking with someone else in real life and annoying everyone on the meeting.

seems odd taht they would leave it on even after being asked to turn it off. i guess you don't mean they were personally asked?

What was your favourite pastime as a child?

ColorStorm:
Idk, I remember playing with legos, playing with the running hose, walking along the top of the fence through all the trees that were on both sides of it, playing with two friends who lived closeby, talking to my cousin on the phone, staying with him, playing super mario bros. and super mario bros. 3

Is karma real?

ColorStorm:
From Conversations with God book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch: No, there is no such thing as karmic debt—not in the sense that you mean in this question. A debt is something that must or should be repaid. You are not obligated to do anything. Still, there are certain things that you want to do; choose to experience. And some of these choices hinge on—the desire for them has been created by—what you have experienced before.

Is Independence Day in your country just another day or do you go 🏀🏀 to the wall (skeet skeet) with celebratory gusto?

ColorStorm:
We used to do fireworks on the 4th of July, but it's been many years. Some years we even had the illegal kind that shoot up into the air from out of state. Nowadays it's just another day (though I think maybe my dad barbecues on this day), but at night you can hear fireworks *everywhere*. Which is actually really ignorant or inconsiderate of people since it terrifies the f\*ck out of dogs. Some of them even have heart attacks or run away and never come back. Cats don't like it much either. Though yeah, I know I just said we used to do the same thing... =P

Gaming question: why do game companies delist their old games from digital stores? Are they asking for piracy?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure, the only reason I can think of is that keeping the game available means having to offer technical support for it. And they don't want to maintain too many games at once, or I don't know if they'd have to maintain them, but they'd have to maintain the technical support knowledge for them, and that would be an especially difficult target, and a moving one, since there would always be issues as OSs, other affecting software, and hardware advance/appear.

filialunae:
do you find voices attractive?

ColorStorm:
Yes (not all of them) Sometimes it's the actual timbre of the voice that's attractive, sometimes it's the way they use it. With Suzanne Vega, it's the timbre, at least in some of her songs, like [Tom's Diner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4jtIDaeaWI). Her voice in that song reminds me of "home" in some spiritual sense. With Mila Kunis, it's the way she uses her voice. I've had a huge crush on her ever since That '70s Show for that reason. (Nowadays she plays Meg on Family Guy.) With Sarah Silverman, it used to be the way she used her voice. Once I heard a cartoon with a guest character in it, and I was so enamored with the way that character talked that I looked up who played that character on that episode of that obscure TV show (can't believe I actually found it), and it turned out it was Sarah Silverman, which was both surprising and not--I'd already known I loved the way she talked at that time. With Nadia Ali, it's the way she sings. OMG, the timing, the intonation, the voice cracks, it's so perfect. [iiO - At the End](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-MgTXY-HCk) With Justine Suissa, it's maybe a combination of both her actual voice and the way she sings. There's a reason people love to hear her in chillout music, though maybe it's a bit harder to put a finger on than in Nadia Ali's case. [Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab - Miracle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsL9q3Pr4kw), [Out There (5th Dimension) (Christian Rusch's Chillout Mix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SATrDNvNXD4) And here's the most adorable voice IN THE WORLD *EVER*: [Pop On Rocks (A Dr. Seuss Rap) - Holo Bass feat. Amelia Watson](https://soundcloud.com/aririi/pop-on-rocks-a-dr-seuss-rap-holo-bass-feat-amelia-watson), [Holo Bass Feat. Amelia Watson - Green Eggs & Spam](https://soundcloud.com/sleepypol/holo-bass-feat-amelia-watson-1)

Just saw a graffiti. "Underground art ceases to be revolutionary once it surrenders to commercialism." Do you agree with it?

ColorStorm:
It's probably more or less true, but I wouldn't assume it's a total black-and-white situation. Commercial endeavors are run and controlled by fatcats who don't want to rock the economic boat/challenge the establishment because it's working out well for them. But there may be scenarios where they don't care, all they care about is getting a share of the artist's profits, or even scenarios where they're willing to entertain revolutionary ideas because people like them which means they're profitable. But the latter case could be tainted by some sort of filtering of exactly what ideas are acceptable. And also commercial sources may want to filter the art for things that could get them into legal trouble. Like the FBI once raided a Rage Against the Machine forum and shut it down. anyway, these are my opinions on what's likely without really having any experience or reading about the subject.

what’s your go to way to relax after a bad day?

ColorStorm:
hmm, i don't remember ever having to relax after a bad day. i have bad days, but they're more like feeling crappy than being exhausting. well, that's very rare, but i guess in most of the jobs i've had every day was a bad day. not because of any fault of the jobs, but my own psychological challenges. but i don't remember if i ever did anything to relax after them. probably not, unless it was just to lie in bed. though i do remember one job, it wasn't exactly bad days but it was hard work, after work i'd love to paly Enigma - Beyond the Invisible. after all that honest hard work with nature, that song really sank in and took me to another place, like the hereafter. i could also imagining myself having a nice tall glass of something cold and good after work, like a coke (or actually I preferred pepsi at the time) or a fanta or a sweet coffee beverage, but i don't remember if i actually did that. watching one of my favorite shows on tv is always a go-to way to chill out, too, which i may have done. nowadays i mainly do it to cure boredom, though.

So there's a teacher that failed more than 90% of the class last semester. Now it's my time to take that class but I have the option to choose another teacher. Should I risk taking the class with him or choose the easier teacher?

ColorStorm:
Pick the other teacher. For the one that failed 90%, the best possible scenario is that he's just a Harvard-level teacher and you're sticking your neck out for little reason hoping that you're one of the 10% smartest or most dedicated in the class. And a much more likely scenario is that he's just a bad teacher and you'll likely unfairly fail the class. I saw somewhere else you mentioned the students couldn't finish the final exam in time...I guess obviously he's not giving enough time to take it (or he didn't teach the material well enough so the students have to rack their brains over it).

Wieselmann:
Do you think it's justified that CEOs usally earn significantly more than their employees?

ColorStorm:
Not really. I mean I get that they arguably add "value" to their company in proportion to their wages because of their extraordinary leadership abilities, but that "value" basically means ability to make more money, which isn't a great virtue in itself. It's overrated, and often even directly counter to the best interest of the community at large. I wouldn't mind if companies were less good at making profit and paid their employees a fairer share of the profits. As it is, it's a lot like plain e old exploitation. And there's the possible argument that companies are free to pay their employees (including the CEO) as much as they want, and that it's just the free market at work, but you could also argue that just because they can doesn't mean they should. And you could make the argument that companies have an unfair bargaining advantage over employees because people generally need to work to make a living, so finding work is a lot more critical on the employees' side. For that reason it may be justified to legally regulate CEOs' salaries, like a lot of other things about companies are regulated because they're entities without conscience and the (somewhat) free market doesn't automatically fix everything.

@rainbowpink yeah, what Shannon said. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is with Gene Wilder. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is with Johnny Depy. And then there's simply 'Wonka', which is with Timothy Chalomet. That's the worst one, IMO, since it's a corny kids' movie, but they don't let you know that in the trailers, and also the songs don't have good melodies.

have you seen the substance? if you have, would you take it?

ColorStorm:

filialunae:
I would consider it commentary on the internal struggle of self hatred, fear of aging, bad self image. It’s a horror film and definitely is influenced by older body horror films like the fly. a little hard to watch at times. The substance, is a drug that will rebirth another you, but younger, better, healthier, perfect. The catch being you have to share your life with the other consciousness and respect the rules or the drug has some side effects.

ColorStorm:
I'd probably take it. Having another, perfect me wouldn't be as good as being perfect myself, but I can still appreciate the value of it existing. After all, I think there's really no separation between beings. I'm not sure whether you're saying this other being is a separate physical person, or exists in some other way, such as another mind or consciousness in your head. Because I'm not sure why you referred to it as a consciousness. Having another consciousness in your head could cause bad complications,

Kate:
Ah? Is that so? So you might get away with plastic pink nip covers while being topless on a US pride?

ColorStorm:
I'm not exactly sure what the laws are, or if they differ for various places and situations, but I've seen pictures/videos of people wearing nipple covers in public or in media, and I'm pretty sure it was for the purpose of being legal. I don't know what a pride is.

"pride" is short for "pride parade" which is a public event held by the queer community where the more extrovert queer individuals often show a lot of sexy stuff.

Do you prefer eating out/take out or a home cooked meal?

ColorStorm:
Depends on the meal. I don't like eating out much, there's not much freedom, you just gotta sit there, and there's a little bit of anxiety due to being among so many people, having to interact with the waiter, etc. Also some pressure to decide what you want to eat in time--I hate that. I really like some fast food meals, but they're not as healthy as home-cooked. Take out is good, but the only take out we ever do is Chinese, and I wouldn't want Chinese all the time. One of my top favorite meals is delivery--Domino's pizza.

why would a judge value a murderers life more than the murderer valued the life he killed

ColorStorm:
Because, why wouldn't he? Everyone's life is valuable. Everyone is worthy. The murderer's lack of understanding of the victim's worth, his clouded vision, doesn't have to translate to the clouded vision of the judge. Two wrongs don't make a right. Whatever way someone is, there are always reasons, so we should be forgiving. Here a couple of excerpts from a couple of books I have: ---------------------- But some people are basically evil. Some people are intrinsically bad. Who told you that? It is my own observation. Then you cannot see straight. I have said it to you before: No one does anything evil, given his model of the world. Put another way, all are doing the best they can at any given moment. All actions of everyone depend on the data at hand. I have said before—consciousness is everything. Of what are you aware? What do you know? But when people attack us, hurt us, damage us, even kill us for their own ends, is that not evil? I have told you before: all attack is a call for help. -'Conversations with God book 2', Neale Donald Walsch ---------------------- No one truly desires to hurt another. Those who do it— including your own governments, by the way—do it out of a misplaced idea that it is the only way to get something they want. Have you ever wondered how you might behave in someone else's shoes? If you have, you'll likely admit that this kind of thinking is usually critical of the person of the person you're thinking about. The truth is, you are the other person, and they are behaving exactly as you would if you were indeed in the exact same shoes--however inconsiderate, abusive, outrageous, or immoral their behavior is.' 'True, you are probably more thoughtful, fearless, loving, and honest than those who disappoint you. But you are also at a different point in your journey, maybe "more advanced," or maybe just more at ease for having chosen a less "challenging" path. We're all of "one," exhibiting different colors of the same light, and rather than passing judgment, it's best to remember that each of us is just doing the best we can.' -'Choose Them Wisely: Thoughts Become Things!', Mike Dooley ---------------------- Then there is there is my RetroSpring answer from a few years ago to the question, "Is hatred ever truly justified?" (You never simply "devalue someone's life" because they're evil--your default position of valuing their life becomes occluded by hatred): https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/02/05/is-hatred-ever-truly-justified/

filialunae:
my cousin was brutally murdered when she was only 19. there is no justification for him to have any more care than he gave to her.

f00fc7c8:
good article inhahe!

ColorStorm:
thanks :)

f00fc7c8:
and i agree. it might seem wrong to care about the well-being of someone who clearly doesn't care about others' well-being, but morality doesn't work that way. every life and will is valuable, and a mentality of revenge only adds more harm and death to the world, it won't bring anyone back.

filialunae:
whatever fuck you guys then

ColorStorm:
hey I'm not trying to argue, I just wanted to convey what I think love and the ideal mentality actually look like. I understand your resentment toward the killer, I'm pretty judgmental myself, there's a difference between what's in my heart and where I'd like to be--I'd like to have unconditional love for all beings.

filialunae:
and i feel sick to my stomach that my cousins life wasn’t valued more because than the person who killed her but yeah let’s justify and have empathy for that. he killed one person and broke the hearts of children, her younger siblings, her parents, her grandparents. but yeah let’s not just have empathy but think it’s ok for him to live a good life on top of that. no. there’s a huge difference between having empathy for all life and understanding people need to face consequences for their actions.

filialunae:
people think they have some righteous opinions but literally have never experienced it so i truly don’t believe your opinion unless you yourself went through the same thing. it’s really easy to think you would react differently when you don’t actually know

f00fc7c8:
i don't doubt that i'd feel the same as you do, but what you feel is not the same as what is right. it's awful that you lost your cousin, and their murderer is an awful person for doing that. he should face consequences for his actions. and honestly, i feel kind of bad for participating in this conversation, because being told that his life has meaning, and the judge ought to act accordingly, is not what you need to hear right now.

filialunae:
what do i need to hear then

f00fc7c8:
i don't know. i just know that arguing over whether your emotional judgments about the situation are correct isn't the most helpful way to process trauma, at least for most people. you need comfort, understanding, and support in processing this traumatic event. you need the support of family members, friends, and maybe a therapist. but probably not random armchair philosophers from the internet.

So the 3g network loophole I used to get unlimited internet nearly a decade ago is apparently working again. Why are companies so lazy when it comes to legacy systems? And is it wrong for me to take advantage of that?

ColorStorm:
I don't know the answer to the first question, except maybe what Sean said and/or that the legacy systems are integrated with other systems, workflows, etc. they use and it would be very expensive and possibly error-prone to upgrade them. Whether it's wrong to take advantage of a company is a matter of opinion, but IMO, companies are inherently evil and profiteering and exploit anyone and everything they can, including you, and as such, they have more than enough money, so it's not wrong to take advantage of/cheat them.

f00fc7c8:
What's your favorite, and least favorite, genre of music? And for both, why?

ColorStorm:
One of my favorites lately is psychill. It's just so...chill and yet also dynamic and colorful enough to keep my interest. Another favorite is "hard dance" on di.fm. It's just cool/powerful sh\*t. Another favorite is "chillout dreams" on di.fm. Those songs tend to be beautiful and relaxing. My favorite song on there is Masters & Nickson feat Justine Suissa - Out There 5th Dimension (Christian Rusch's Chillout Mix). Though most of the songs I like are spread out across a bunch of different genres that I don't think of as my favorite genres. My least favorite genres are probably rap/hip-hop, metal and country. Rap/hip-hop is so crude, it's barely even music. The artists don't even sing, they just talk into the damn microphone, aggressively, and the contents of their lyrics are so damn base/crass/crude, like they epitomize everything that's wrong with society and exactly how a person shouldn't be, yet it's one of the most popular genres. It makes me disappointed in humanity. At least hip-hop has decent instrumentals behind it. Metal is just extremely dissonant, like, the instruments. I feel like listening to metal probably screws up your aura. And why in the world would I enjoy the guttural yelling? I guess metal is for people with pent up anger issues. Country just sounds so hick and emotionally retarded.

f00fc7c8:
psychill sounds like something i'd enjoy! may have to look into those mixes. oddly enough I've been getting really into hip-hop lately! but mostly the early stuff (before gangsta rap became prevalent) and the newer experimental stuff (which is more focused on the instrumentals). I've been exposed to enough of the genre against my will that the rest of it is boring to me. definitely agree with you on metal though. usually it just sounds like an indistinct wall of noise to me

fizzyarthur:
I just learned that there are Instagram accounts dedicated to sharing videos of (questionable) cops scaring innocent (mostly black) people. Was the world less racist before the internet?

ColorStorm:
I think it was more racist before the internet--probably much more--because the internet's facilitation of meme and viral idea exchange meant that a lot of smart and inspiring ideas about racism, homophobia, etc. spread like wildfire among the younger generations who lived for the internet, which I believe is what led to the widespread acceptance of homosexuals and other LGBTQ people. So it probably helped racism too. Regarding the Instagram account, the internet is a big place, and there will be something for/by everybody, including the minority of people who are still racist. So, if anything, the internet just made it easier to see things like racism, at least/especially those things that pertain to a minority of people.

ColorStorm:
On the other hand, racism might also have a viral element to it, or the general conservatism that goes with racism, so it, too could spread on the internet. But why would people not get less racist overall despite clearly getting a lot less homophobic? Another note is that the algorithms nowadays feed people whatever they want to hear, so wokeists will find more wokeists, racists will find more racists, etc. This could also bolster the spread and/or the individual intensity of racism, while also insulating

ColorStorm:
those racists from the inspiring ideas of the wokeists.

ColorStorm:
I keep up appearances in a way, in that I don't reveal my more controversial or taboo opinions so that everyone won't jump on me, unfollow me, block me and hate me. I also tend to easily get angry at people's stupidity online and want to rail them, but I don't because then they'll dislike me and I don't like being disliked, and also I might get banned. I don't remember this happening on Retrospring very often, it more applies to other platforms. So, yeah, I bury my opinions, but not so much for the sake of a persona. I don't have a persona and don't fit in other opinions in their place, I just decline to comment. I would never want to lose myself in artificial constructs.

ColorStorm:
I also don't argue with people's opinions in comments when I just disagree with them and want to enlighten them, because people apparently don't like to be argued with on Retrospring.

Would you rather have a sweet or savoury breakfast?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what kind of breakfast would be sweet? People don't eat dessert for breakfast.. Oh, yeah, there is breakfast cereal, most of which are loaded with sugar. I like to eat them sometimes, but I think I prefer savory.

Kate:
A sweet breakfast would be croissant with butter or bread with Nutella or toast with jelly or sliced and diced fruit with yoghurt.....

ColorStorm:
Oh, I'm not that familiar with those except for the toast with jelly. Don't really like croissants, bread with Nutella sounds okay, toast with jelly isn't bad, but we don't have Nutella in this house and I basically only eat toast with jelly at restaurants or motels sometimes when on vacation. And those things aren't close to being most of the breakfast.

Kate:
So you prefer savoury? What do you prepare usually?

ColorStorm:
I don't usually eat breakfast. When I do, it's usually because my dad made some. He usually makes eggs with lots of other things mixed in. If I make my own breakfast, it's always some kind of cereal and milk.

I think they're probably just hardened against older guys because older guys sexually preying on young girls is such a pervasive thing. and older guys just expressing sexual interest in them which they generally tend to find gross or undesirable, which is exacerbated the general societal condemnation and hysteria over the idea of adults having sexual relations with people under 18. but yeah it's stupid to call someone a pervert essentially just for being middle-aged. i don't know about the terrible/wonderful life thing. i don't even have a wonderful life, I hate my life. but not that she would know that.

lucidiot:
If you could bring back one defunct internet-based thing (website, protocol, game server, online feature of some device, …), what would you pick and why?

ColorStorm:
Idk, without thinking about it for very long, probably MySpace. MySpace was better than FaceBook because you had more customization over your profile and you could use whatever name you wanted, not your real name or even a real-sounding name, and the profiles contained a specific set of questions you would answer to better express yourself (and not boring things like "What jobs did you have" like on Facebook). And you could have custom colors, you could even have it automatically play a song when they visit your profile (I had it play the fragment "There is no / place I know / that compares with pure imagination" by Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory). And I had the feeling it was used more for dating purposes than Facebook is. It was how I met my second girlfriend, whom I still talk to today. In fact, she's going to visit me from Norway on the 22nd. Oh, another thing that was really good was AIM. Best messenger application ever. You could select font size, font face, and font color (per character), you could log to a custom directory, you could transfer files and directories, you had a bio (where you could use custom colors, fonts, etc.), you had a pfp that could be an animated gif (I programmatically made a few for it, including an infinitely zooming dragon curve fractal or something like that, TV static, and one alternating between all black and all white at like 50 frames per second.) And it supported voice and video chat, and also chatrooms. And when someone messaged you, the window would pop up on your screen and take focus, which I liked, but Microsoft made it hard for programs to do that and they don't do that much anymore. I have a lot of memories chatting with friends on that. I even looked into running an AIM server recently (the application lets you enter a custom server address), but I decided there's no point because I only still talk to three friends nowadays that I used to talk to on AIM and I only talk to them every few days/weeks and everyone uses mobile phones nowadays anyway and AIM is desktop only. And the one I talk to most often can't even use a desktop PC, I think, because of her disabilities.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah and you could select background color too (per character/text span) in messages and bio.

lucidiot:
If you ever want to feel nostalgic, check out [spacehey](https://spacehey.com/), [friendproject](https://www.friendproject.net/), [anyspace](https://anyspace.3to.moe/), [spacemy](https://spacemy.acxyz.ca/), or [runningman](https://runningman.network/). It is kinda annoying that you'll rarely ever find any old or current friends on there because not a lot of people actually care about coming back to those networks.

ColorStorm:
Whoa, cool. I've tried two of them so far, that's a lot of sites to try out, I see spacehey is more like MySpace than spacemy. And they're both pretty crude or buggy. Which one is most popular? How popular are these sites? And which ones are most like MySpace?

lucidiot:
I honestly have no idea, as I have never used MySpace or any of these clones :P I just found them on [ytoo](https://ytoo.org/), a portal to retro projects like these. But based on a very small sample size, I have seen a few spacehey profile links and never any links to the others, so I would assume spacehey is the most popular.

Maybe you have been tortured in school with Pythagoras, the greek philosopher and mathematician. What you probably have not been told is that Pythagoras had a prankster side in his character. He invented a cup that made use of hydraulic rules of physics. When the Greek had a party they dipped their cups in a big vessel with wine. The greedy ones who were eager to get away with free wine were a common nuisance then. So that cup had a hidden overflow. The greedy sat in a puddle if they filled to the rim.

ColorStorm:
Would be interesting to know how these cups worked. I can't envision it without any further info. As far as Pythagoras in school goes, in the beginning of the first day of class in Trigonometry, the teacher asked if anybody knew what the name of the theorem was for finding the length of a diagonal...I said the Pythagorean Theorem. Later after class she thanked me for answering because she had forgotten the answer herself. 🤣

I think it's rather callous. "I am what I am" seems to be used as an excuse to be a dick. But, on the other hand, it's important to express your true self rather than repressing and modifying it to please others...I guess even if one is an a$$hole.

Is your pfp your actual image, simply resembles you (AI or other), or a symbol/imagery that represent you? (Hope nobody thinks that I’m trying to fool them into thinking my pfp is actually me)

ColorStorm:
Oh, I thought it was actually you. Though I wasn't sure because you're a little too young to have white hair. And also her wrinkly neck indicates an older age. Who is she / why did you choose that pic? Mine is imagery that represents me, but that's obvious =)

LaDamaX:
It’s an AI photo editor. So maybe me if I had blue eyes and was a more senior citizen. An anon asked why my picture looked AI enhanced. I responded that it in fact AI. I’m not sure if you saw the previous one that had me sporting sleeves of tattoos. I didn’t think anyone would think I was trying to fool them. I think they thought they were going to call me out and I’d argue that it was really me. 😅

While you're concerned about appeasing the grammar police, don't forget about https://grammartips.homestead.com/badly.html - linking verbs, e.g., you don't "feel badly."

ColorStorm:
Not very much. I'm very guarded and I don't have much emotions anyway.

LaDamaX:
Why do you think that is? 🤔

ColorStorm:
The being guarded part must be a result of the extreme, frequent, prolonged emotional abuse from my parents when I was younger, the not being emotional part I'm not sure. I remember even when I was a kid imagining that I had emotional gears and that they were being stripped more and more over time, which I attributed to my onanism 🤣I also think that my true emotions are so deep, dark, old and thick from a lifetime of suffering and struggle that I can't consciously feel them. They're stored in my body.

ColorStorm:
I do feel anger and contempt a lot, but I don't express it because I don't like being disliked.

LaDamaX:
I’m curious…Do you ever feel empathy?

LaDamaX:
Thank you for explaining, btw.

LaDamaX:
Oh… what last made you feel anger/contempt?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I think I feel empathy, or at least I care about living beings getting hurt/killed. For example, I save moths when they're stuck in water, and I think people who think videos where people get seriously hurt are funny are low-life clowns. I don't remember the last thing that made me feel anger or contempt. But I'm sure it was something recent. =P It's often bad grammar. Republicanism is another frequent one. Physicalism and anti-spirituality/anti-"woo" make me angry too, physicalism maybe not usually

The NHS was a good idea and still can be a model for so many countries with much worse systems, but in an effort to reduce "socialism" in UK the NHS has been suffocated to a whimsical state of what it used to be.

Karen Overton - Your Loving Arms really sooths me when I'm stressed. So does The Doors - Riders On the Storm. Saint of Sin - Song of Divine, and Bliss - Silence, are pretty peaceful.

Kate:
I'm ready to bake! Describe your fancy cake I shall create! But keep in mind you have to eat the entire cake, no help, no cheating!

ColorStorm:
Chantilly, but with even more fruits in it, on multiple layers, especially strawberry and blueberry. And the cake part is extra moist, like Pepperidge Farm.

Kate:
Ah! A tart bomb!

ColorStorm:
Hmm??

Kate:
That cake would have devastating effects like a bomb I reckon!

ColorStorm:
I don't understand!

Kate:
As I said you have to eat the entire cake yourself... so that is sorta challenge, not?

ColorStorm:
that could be hard, depending on how big the cake is. I hope it's small! xD

Kate:
Since I like you I will bake a small cake. Any other wishes?

ColorStorm:
yes, not too tart ;)

Do you like pizza hut?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea, it's been years since I've had their pizza. I've never had it delivered, we always get Domino's delivered, the last time I had Pizza Hut was I think when they had their cool sit-down, dimly lit restaurants back in the '80s and '90s. I don't remember what the pizza was like back then, but I'm sure I didn't mind it. It's like Sean said. it's pretty hard to make a bad pizza.

f00fc7c8:
Do your friends rely on you for tech support, or are you usually the one who needs tech support?

ColorStorm:
Not my friends, but my family. My parents go to me for their computer troubles, and I think my sisters and nieces probably did too when they lived here. And my cousin once asked me to hack her daughter's phone to find out where she was when she'd run away, but I'm not a hacker, and it probably wasn't possible anyway. And more importantly, I'd rather the daughter have her freedom anyway. IMCO, when kids run away, it's always because they have bad parents. One time a friend did ask me for tech support, kinda--he couldn't figure out how to do something in his program for his job, he said he'd give me $200 if I solved it for him, and I did. But I never got the $200 :/ He said the $200 he'd "earmarked" for that was taken by the domain names he'd been paying for for me that he'd forgotten to cancel. A couple of weeks or months later he said he dreamed that I bumped into his car with my car, so I owed him $200. I said that he already owed me $200, so it cancels out. =P

What's the most annoying thing about Linux to you? (If you use Linux)

ColorStorm:
There are a few annoyances, all interrelated, and I'd love to talk about all of them, but you said the *most* annoying thing, so...it's that things frequently don't work, or don't work totally correctly, and the only way to fix them is to be intimately familiar with the innards of the OS (and I don't care about some arbitrary OS to spend that much time studying it) or to do research, which can take any amount of time, and sometimes you just gotta resort to asking Linux experts for help and hoping they're nice.

LaDamaX:
When you come across a houseless/unsheltered person in your community what feelings, thoughts, or actions does it inspire?

ColorStorm:
Well, I feel sad that we live in such a dystopian society where people are allowed to live like that. And I feel bad for them personally. And sometimes I might dread the possibility of becoming like them myself, or just feel dread for them being that way because there's no chance of them ever getting the sex or affections of a woman that way. As for actions, I often give them a dollar or two. I keep money in my wallet solely for that purpose. I'm more likely to give them money if they ask for it, but I also sometimes offer it even when they didn't.

Andy:
Roughly what percent of the global population do you think are terrible people?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, probably way more than 1%.

Andy:
like...10%?

ColorStorm:
I have no idea. It depends on what the threshold for "terrible" is. And it also varies from country to country, and I only have experience with this country and people on the internet. (I don't know what countries most people on the internet are from, and also people on the internet seem to be way worse than people in general, despite the fact that everyone is on the internet.) And either way, I'm just not observant enough to be able to pin down anywhere near a specific percentage. 10% seems possible.

Kabus:
100%

The only thing I have to say about stars is that I've heard of multiple people having the experience that when they were young they could hear the stars singing, like some kind of symphony or wave pool of communication, and then when they got older they could no longer hear it.

Why do people overfill waste and litter containers and some afterwards set them ablaze?

Probably cheaper and more convenient than taking them to the dump or arranging a pick-up. And the overfilling would just be due to regular old procrastination.

What are we about to bear when we are 30+ ? The opinion of people who think you should now be grey, old, dry and miserable and should show that. Our peers create hell.

I didn't feel old when I was 30, and I still don't. And I wasn't really grey, wrinkly or dry when I was 30. Well, except inasmuch as men tend to be drier than women, and adults tend to be drier than kids. I still don't feel old now, though I do have a fair amount of grey and silver hair.

Kate:
Have you ever been inside a MRT machine? I recently was. It took almost an hour!

ColorStorm:
Yeah, in 1999, the first time I had a psychotic episode, my mom insisted the hospital perform an MRI scan on me to make sure there was nothing wrong with my brain.

LaDamaX:
Were you in your late teens? 😔

ColorStorm:
I was 20 or 21, probably 21.

Kate:
The scan of my brain didn't reveal how weird the things are that it does process and how it processes things. Maybe it is for the better those things are still hidden from inspection.

LaDamaX:
Did anyone have any idea (doctors, teachers, parents, or even yourself) that you were neurologically unique previous to that @inhahe ?

ColorStorm:
I'm pretty sure my psychosis was the result of a traumatic childhood and lifelong inhibition and misery, the science says that schizophrenia can result from traumatic upbringing, not sure if that really counts as a neurological condition.

ColorStorm:
But no, I don't think anyone really understood the profundity of my psychological condition.

LaDamaX:
I’ve read some literature that indicates a genetic predisposition along with “three hits”— of which emotional and physical abuse can be one of those “hits”. Combo of nature and nurture that leads certain psychiatric conditions to manifest.

Kate:
The brain is not a stone. It adapts functionally and physically to events, thoughts, history and experiences. When a soul gets harmed the brain tissue follows. Not always easily to be spotted but it is a scientifically proved fact that "hardware" and "software" in our skull shape each other due to upbringing and life.

Wieselmann:
Do you think caterpillars know that they will turn into a butterfly?

ColorStorm:
It's really hard to say what animals and bugs know, for example I even wonder if our cats know they're going to die someday. I would think it's unlikely the caterpillar knows it will turn into a butterfly, but then, animals are generally smarter than we give them credit for, and we don't really understand how instinct works or how deep it may go..

Wieselmann:
Is light a wave or a particle?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. And I've studied quantum mechanics (the fundamentals - not the more advanced mathematics of it). I don't think anyone knows, though most people have their opinions. (I don't mean "anyone" in the strictest sense -- there are amazing people out there, and I wouldn't be surprised if a few of them somehow understand the fundamental nature of the universe.) I feel like it probably doesn't make sense to say that light is only a wave, nor that it's only a particle. But it also doesn't seem right to say that light is both a wave and a particle. You could say that it's a wave or a particle depending on how you measure it, but that doesn't seem very reasonable either. All you can really say is that it *appears* as a wave or a particle depending on how you measure it, but that's not really satisfying -- what's behind those appearances? What causes those particular experimental results? To understand this would basically be to understand quantum mechanics and what the "collapse of the wavefunction" really means / why it "happens." That's the million-dollar question.

Have you ever improvised or put your own spin on a meal and had it be a big hit? (Either with others or yourself) If so, what was it? If not, if you knew a meal would turn out edible, what kind of meal would you create? What sort of flavors would you like to see mixed together?

ColorStorm:
My signature meal is spaghetti with a whole jar of pesto thrown in with the spaghetti sauce. I love it, my family loves it, and one time I made it for my girlfriend and her mom in Norway, and her mom said that it was what spaghetti should really taste like. Sometimes instead of normal pesto I use sundried tomato pesto (I used green pesto in Norway). In both cases I use Classico brand pesto, it's my favorite. I couldn't use Classico in Norway, though, since they didn't have it.

fizzyarthur:
Why do adults (even the older ones) act in a childish/dramatic way sometimes?

ColorStorm:
I guess to some degree, adults are just grown-up children. They just put on a face of maturity for work and relationships for pragmatic reasons. Adults just being grown children is probably a cultural issue. We lack the context for proper upbringing and role models. The people upbringing the kids are essentially just kids themselves!

No. I always wanted to take a ride on one of those old-timey trains. Actually, I may have been on the Amtrak once when I was young. My mom says I haven't, but I seem to remember it. Or maybe I was on a monorail of some sort that wasn't the Amtrak.

Qotd ummmn do u have any stuffed animals ? if u do whats ur fav ...

ColorStorm:
I have a bunch of stuffed animals sitting on the top shelves of my three adjoined metal shelving units. For the most part they're stuffed animals that look especially pretty to me, such as psychedelic ones. One of them is the stuffed teddy bear that I had at least since I was five, now with one missing eye. I'm not sure what my favorite is, I don't even remember most of what I have without looking. The teddy bear is probably the most meaningful to me, but definitely not one of the best-looking ones. The best-looking one is probably one of the really colorful ones. I used to have a glossy vivid blue-green and white one that I really liked, but it got destroyed. I once asked my friend who was over if she liked it, and she said "No." So rude. =P

I don't use rentry, I've never been there. The one thing I don't like in a Retrospring theme is when people think they're clever and change the colors of some buttons and maybe other things so that you can't see them. Makes it very difficult.

corvostudio_s:
Hello retrosrping asking this again: Samurai, Cowboy or Pirate???????_?$?!?????

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't want to be a pirate. They were confined to their ships all the time, were filthy, and made a living off of thieving from others and killing innocent people. And there wasn't much safety being a pirate due to all the battles they engaged in, as well as the lack of medical care, and also the lack of vitamin C which often resulted in scurvy. I don't really like cowboy culture either, they're all a bunch of rednecks, their hats look ridiculous, and they exploit animals. And they're uneducated/ignorant, conservative and homophobic, and I hate their deeply humanistic, illogical mannerisms. I also have the impression that being a cowboy is a lot of work--dirty work--, and I can't stand labor. So I'd rather be a samurai. Also, samurais had mad skills.

Why do people want to be remembered and leave traces of their presence on earth so notoriously?

ColorStorm:
It's the closest thing they can imagine to life after death/immortality.

Kate:
How can that be in any form satisfying ?

ColorStorm:
Maybe it has to do with subtle transpersonal awareness--they imagine they'd live through the people who are aware of them having existed

Kate:
Would you want to live on by me being aware that once you were?

ColorStorm:
Hmm, Somehow, I'm not even sure. I don't know. I tend toward thinking what you think of me after I'm dead would be meaningless to me.

Yeah... it would be meaningless to you. Better I like you while you are here. Don't you think?

When you do wear a belt, does the loose end of the belt point to the right or to the left?

ColorStorm:
It's been so long since I've worn belts I'm not sure if I remember. Lemme see. I'm pretty sure it pointed to the left. Is there a standard about that? I don't remember.

Kate:
Some cultures make a difference for belts worn by men or women.

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I figured the rule might be opposite for men vs. women, like buttons are.

Kate:
Yes, but why is that still a thing? Girls wearing boy jeans is so common. As I am ambidextrous I always have my belt left, right, and having the open end to the right seems easy, but is it out of norm?

BidenLadysMan:
There's a video clip on Instagram of a fairly attractive girl going around asking other attractive girls for their phone numbers. I think the idea is women are more open if being gay for a short time than men are. I have theory. I think a woman's sexuality is more fluid because men are more accepting of that. Example. You're a guy and you're married to your wife for 30 yrs. And you find out your wife and her friend Wendy were more than just friends in college.. there was more scissoring going on than in a knitting class😆 there isn't a man alive who would have a problem with that, hell let's get Wendy on the phone! Let's reconnect, rock on🤣 But switch the roles. I think a woman finding out her husband was gay for a short time would ruin their relationship. Imo straight women are attracted to masculinity no matter what they say.. finding out your husband of 30 yrs even for a short time was a bottom bitch😂 will ruin your perspective on him

ColorStorm:
Nice theory, but no, I don't feel like that's (primarily?) it. I'm pretty sure the difference is inherent to the two sexes. Its probably not unrelated that females are the objectively fairer sex, as it would therefore make sense for them to be more attractive to both sexes, or that females are more "open" in general.

What's your favorite text editor, if any? I like Vim.

ColorStorm:
I usually just use Notepad, it's quick and easy to start up and use, sometimes I have to use Wordpad, I forget why, maybe for RichText, or because it handles files with only LF's and no CR's better than Notepad (unless Notepad has change since then), but I haven't really used Wordpad in years. For more involved stuff, like writing my book of essays, I use Word. On Linux I use gedit, which is basically a small Notepad clone. I really don't like the way nano, vim, etc. work, it's not intuitive, everything takes thought and effort, and also experimentation since I cba to read the manual.

So there's a study that negatively correlated employment rate with financial and economical performance. Do you agree that unemployment is good for business?

ColorStorm:
Not necessarily. Correlation is not necessarily causation, meaning that just because they're correlated doesn't mean that lowering the employment rate would necessarily increase financial and economical performance. For example, one underlying factor could be responsible for both of those trends, or financial and economical performance could cause low employment. And I have no idea why the two things are negatively correlated.

If you consume meat, what is your favorite deli meat, cold cut, or charcuterie? What do you pair it with?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what the difference between cold cut and charcuterie is. I mean I know charcuterie is a bunch of pieces of meet and cheese and vegetables and stuff on a board, but isn't the meat both cold and cut in that case? I'm not sure what you mean by pair it with. Why would someone eat their meat with exactly one other thing, no more and no less? My favorite deli meat, though, is probably pastrami, and I'd rather just eat it by itself. I also get Boar's Head turkey and jerk turkey from the deli when they put it in my sub or spinach wrap. =P

rainbowpink:
i think charcuterie meats are cured and therefore shelf stable at room temperature? i could be wrong tho

Charcuterie are simply cold meats. Charcuterie boards are that and more.

Slightly ranty question: if you earn money by working on social media, it's your job to capitalize (maximize engagement) on any platform you find, including platforms which weren't made to be capitalized, which can generate annoying results. Do you think such a thing should be allowed? Weigh in your opinions!

ColorStorm:
I agree it would suck if somebody did that, or if people routinely do that, but I don't think it should be illegal or against ToS or whatever. First, that would be too totalitarian. It kind of reminds me of Brazil's recent law that illegalized lying. Or that dream I once had of the future which, among other properties, had the attribute that insulting people was illegal. And 2. there could never be a clear and objective way of saying when somebody's posts were merely or primarily aimed at maximizing engagement. That's totally a judgment call.

ColorStorm:
I don't remember how I did it. It was years ago. I think I just made an animated gif and uploaded it. If it's converting yours to a png, maybe they've just changed the behavior of the site. Or maybe only animated gifs remain gifs, since there's no such thing as animated png? Or did you upload an animated gif. idk.

Oh, also, they only accept animated gifs of a certain size or less, so I had to tweak how I made it.

Did you know that animated PNGs do exist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

ColorStorm:
I actually thought while I was writing that that I was pretty sure I remembered an animated png format, but it's not one with the regular format, it's a different file extension, etc. (I'd forgotten what the file extension was, I see it now), and I guess most things, like browsers, don't support them.

f00fc7c8:
jpeg-xl?

ColorStorm:
Huh, looks neat. Better compression, better quality, little processing required, and can be used to shorten already-existing jpegs. But I didn't see anything about animation in the page I found. Does it support that? I think there's something called motion jpeg.. (or is that just mpeg?). I wonder if jpeg 2000 does motion? I forget.

f00fc7c8:
The [JPEG XL whitepaper](https://ds.jpeg.org/whitepapers/jpeg-xl-whitepaper.pdf) does list "support for animated content" as a feature.

I have a few hobbies, I guess the most random one besides answering on Retrospring is answering questions on Quora.

Opinions on Epicurus?

ColorStorm:
Didn't know much about him off-hand, so I looked him up on Wikipedia. I thought I vaguely remembered that Epicureanism was like hedonism (which I see as shortsighted, maybe depending on the interpretation of what the word means), but that doesn't seem to be how his philosophy is described on Wikipedia. His philosophy regarding eudaimonia and such, including "living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends," seems sensible/wise. He also seemed to be ahead of his time with regard to his belief in atoms, and also in allowing women and slaves to join his club by policy. I disagree with his stance that the soul dies upon physical death, and I think he was spreading darkness in that respect, in that it's an untrue, depressive view that's life-denying/vastly underestimating of its beauty and breadth. But nobody's perfect; he was doing his best with the experience and sensibilities he had at hand.

Are you an idealist or a materialist?

ColorStorm:
I tend toward idealism or maybe panpsychism. I'm not sure exactly what the nature of reality is, but I'm pretty sure it's not physicalism. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2020/02/07/why-im-an-idealist/

ColorStorm:
Another view I'm fond of us "dual-aspect monism," or better, multi-aspect monism. As a spiritualist, I couldn't really be a materialist. I talk about some reasons people tend to be physicalist and some of the reasons I believe in spiritualism or at least psychism here: https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2022/01/23/psychism/

Andy:
What are your thoughts on the profession of prostitution?

ColorStorm:
On an idealistic level, I think it's perfectly fine and fair, women should be able to exercise autonomy over their body and sell it if they want. And the men desperately need the sex, so it's win/win. More realistically, I'm suspicious of whether it has detrimental effects on a woman's psyche (probably depending on the woman), but even in that case I don't think that justifies making it illegal. In fact, prostitution is actually safer for women (and men) when it's legal, I'm guessing with respect to both physical violence/homicide and STIs, and prostitution is going to happen whether it's legal or not. The most unfortunate thing about prostitution is that a lot of women have no choice but to get into it to live, which could be seen as justification for making it illegal, but that doesn't make sense to me, because if you're not willing to give them money to live on for free, you might as well give them the choice to get it themselves...it's their choice, they obviously find the inconvenience of having to have sex with gross men they don't even like worth being able to live and have money.

How did you meet your last/current partner?

ColorStorm:
I'd matched with her on a Facebook dating app and friended her (as I would do with all of my matches over 12 years ago when the app existed, hence why I have ~400 friends on Facebook), and like a year later she decided to message me. I told myself I wasn't looking for a girlfriend anymore, so I didn't feel any conversational pressure and I was actually funny. In short time she asked me how she could meet me, what the first step would be or whatever (she lived in the Philippines), and I said for her to be my girlfriend. She took some time to deliberate and then said yes. I eventually visited her there with my mom.

why do you think little boys are told that girls pee from their butts instead of their urethral opening?

ColorStorm:
I didn't know boys were told that or that they believe it. I'm inclined to believe Clouds answer. But, if they are told that, it could be just because of society's general sexophobia that fears informing kids of anything having to do with private parts, especially the opposite sex's.

Reading about quantum mechanics, overview/amateur-level stuff. I'm (re-)reading books I may or may not have already read looking for a specific part I read once that I don't remember clearly enough. I want to include it in a couple of my essays. I've re-read two books, and I just bought another. I re-bought the two I'd already read, too, even though I think I still had them somewhere, because it was much easier than finding them in all my stacks. =P

what is your opinion on chris hansen?

ColorStorm:
He ruins lives needlessly, and he does it for fame and fortune if not out of blind adherence to social hysteria over sexophobic taboos. Minors are able to give meaningful consent. The argument that they're not able to choose wisely whether to have sex with someone due to a not having a fully developed frontal lobe or whatever it is doesn't hold, as by the same token you could argue that they're not yet ready to decide what to wear for the day or what games to play with their friends. The only reason sexuality is regarded as something different and more crucial is because of society's deep-seated sexophobia and puritanism that makes sex and sexuality out to be something naughty and sullying, juxtaposed with our conception of children as being fundamentally innocent and our desire to keep them that way by protecting them from the realities of society. This is the same reason we don't tell little kids the real names for their genitalia, allow kids to masturbate (which obviously harms no one), or allow them to have sex with s/o's of their own age (which is also of course harmless). It's also why we lock people up, potentially ruining their lives, if they so much as go outside without covering up particular parts of their totally natural bodies. People who get the ick about age gaps don't understand the natural male sex drive. And, even it's bad that older guys sometimes groom younger girls to have sex with them, Chris Hansen isn't catching people who do this, he's setting traps to catch people who want to have sex with what they think are already fully willing prospects. Chris Hansen is a POS.

Did your schools have lunch provided, or did you have to bring your own food?

ColorStorm:
In elementary school, my mom sent me off with lunch every day. It was a private school. My junior high was a private school, too, and it had free lunch. Cheeseburgers with grey-looking patties and stuff like that. It wasn't bad, disregarding the occasional paperclip, twist tie, or cockroach kids would find in them. My high school was a public school, and it offered free lunch, too. There was a small salad bar that I always ate from, my lunches were mostly composed of chickpeas.

ColorStorm:
Come think of it, I think maybe the food cost money in junior high. I don't honestly remember.

Graffiti artists (or vandals) leave their marks everywhere in the city, often in places very difficult to reach, which is something to behold. But they never associate their art (or vandalism) with their real name or other forms of personal identification. Why is that?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I'd guess it's probably either that it's just not cool to leave your real name (and there's no reasonable reason to leave any other personal information, such as your d.o.b.), or people don't do it because graffiti is illegal and they don't want to get in trouble.

Andy:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (one being passionately disagree, ten being passionately agree), how do you feeling about the statement: 'Kindness comes back to you'

ColorStorm:
I'm not really sure. But I do know that if it's more than about, say, 20% true, it has to be the result of a mystical force like karma, the threefold law, or the law of attraction. And I think there are plenty of people who are genuinely kind people who consistently suffer at the hands of others, often *because* they're good people. And if it's that way for them now, it probably will continue to be that way for them. If there is a significant degree to which kindness comes back to you, it probably doesn't happen within the current lifetime. But then, why would it be any likely to happen later?

ColorStorm:
I love questionnaires, so I'm gonna steal f00fy's idea and answer every one of the questions listed at https://github.com/Retrospring/retrospring/blob/main/config/questions/en.yml . Except that I might not answer some that I don't find particularly interesting, which may even be most of them, we'll see.

ColorStorm:
- Are you: - afraid of: - going outside at night No, but I find being outside in the dark depressing, like in a deep, dreadful, existential way, but only subtly, like it's really there yet it barely consciously registers. For similar reasons I find it really depressing when the sun's going down. - the dark I'm kind of afraid of the dark, but only if it's absolutely pitch black with no source of light whatsoever. Because what makes me afraid of the dark isn't what may be lurking there, but the fact that I can't tell whether my eyes still work. This used to be much worse when I was younger. One time I cried all night in a totally dark motel room, much to the frustration of my aunt.. - religious No, but I'm spiritualist/mystic/New Age/always interested in the metaphysical, paranormal, parapsychological.. I was Christian when I was growing up, because my mom was and is a fundamentalist Christian and sent me to Christian schools for elementary school and junior high, then eventually I started questioning various things about Christianity that didn't make sense to me, such as the idea that Jesus could pay for *our* sins...I mean, how can guilt be a commodity? Either one should be punished for their evil because *they* did it, or they shouldn't, and if they shouldn't, then why couldn't God, being omni-powerful, just *choose* to forgive us without having to sacrifice his son? So, I apostatized, but it took me a year or two to fully do it due to the fear of eternal damnation. - Can you: - cook Barely. I can cook eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, and spaghetti (I throw in a whole jar of Classico pesto in with the spaghetti sauce, and it's delicious). If I looked up how or asked somebody I'm sure I could cook various meats or anything else there's a recipe for. - dance I can't do any "official" dances, but I can dance around like a maniac, intensely and elaborately, when I want to. I've never done this in front of anyone, though. - draw No. Well, I've drawn a few things in my life, not creatively, just realistic drawings of things I saw in front of me, and I did it pretty well. I could never draw like manga style or whatever. - play: - any: - sports No, I hate sports. In junior high I would stay in the back of the line for softball in PE and hope to God the coach didn't notice that I wasn't taking my turns. - baseball - the: - guitar No, if I were to play an instrument, it wouldn't be a guitar; it's too weird and arbitrary. Even though I know it *should* be the guitar because girls love that sh\*t. - piano No, but I took a piano class once and did pretty well. I never practiced at home like we were supposed to, and the teacher said I was doing better than everyone else in the class. - saxophone No, that's gotta be hell on the lips. Also you have to keep your cheeks full of air, and I noticed when I was a kid that every time I puffed my cheeks full of air it would feel like some air got in between my flesh behind the backs of my cheeks and it would be painful. - trumpet No, but trumpets sound nice af. Check out [Gloria in Excelsis Deo played by Maurice André](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WORwWjxpx8E), it's *sublime*. It sounds like the trumpeteer is trailblazing on the forefront of consciousness/life/divinity in some angelic space. - ski No, I tried skiing once and I just couldn't see how people are able to do it. The skis were constantly getting crisscrossed or diverging away from each other. So eventually I just traded them in for a snowboard, and I liked that much better. I never went down the actual mountain, though, I just stayed on the bunny run. Which is probably a good thing, because I had just figured the way you're supposed to ski is to go straight down the mountain as fast as you can...only years later did I find out that you're supposed to zig-zag down the mountain to slow down your speed. - speak a foreign language No, but I took three years of Honors French in high school. But I've forgotten almost all of it. I also took a semester of Spanish in college, and during that time at a job I heard two people conversing in Spanish and I actually understood the entire conversation because they happened to be talking about things we learned in class, it was amazing. (I've since forgotten all of my Spanish, too, of course.) - swim Only doggy paddle, I don't get how people do whatever stroke it is that comprises normal swimming; I just sink. I can also keep my head like a foot or two above the water just by kicking my sleep. - yodel WTF no. But check out [Walmart yodeling kid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOZT-UpRA2Y) - Do: - you: - have: - a nickname No, I don't like any of the nicknames for my name. But when I was younger I was called Nicky. I changed it to my official name, Richard, when I started at a new school in 5th grade, because I was afraid the kids would make fun of me for having an effeminate name. And not to mention that my last name is Nichols, so I was Nicky Nichols. I probably never should have changed it, though, I think I like Nicky better. Richard is so...stiff. But at least it's one of the very few male names I wouldn't absolutely hate having. - any: - siblings Yes, one of them is 14 years younger than me. I'm the oldest child. - pets Way too many cats. Only two of them are really mine, though, as in they live in my room. I told my parents many years ago they'd better spay the ones we had or it would get out of control, and they didn't listen to me, they didn't want to spend the money. Now they spend probably that much on cat food every week, and we currently have three litters of kittens. And we can't spay all the cats because some of them are feral and we can't catch them. - like: - muffins Eh, they're okay. I tend to come to the brink of choking to death every time I eat one. =P And often when I eat them they're the pre-made kind that probably have enough preservatives and other artificial ingredients in them to give Jesus cancer. - social networks Yes, I like Twitter, Facebook and Retrospring. And yes, Twitter is noticeably worse now that Elon has taken over. On Facebook I follow probably a dozen philosophy groups. On Twitter I follow a lot of special, unique, unusual people. - the place where you live You mean the house, or the neighborhood? I like that I never have to contend with snow or ice or bundle up just to leave the house, or risk frostbite or dying in a car if it breaks down on the way to somewhere, and I like that there are places to go late at night (though there used to be a lot more 24-hour places before Covid; now there's just one bakery) and everywhere you could want to go is within a few minutes driving distance, and not to mention that a publicly accessible pier to the ocean is within walking distance of my house, and I like that we live in a spacious $1.2M house (except that it's filthy and the cats ruin everything so it's worth more like $700K), but the one thing I hate about this city is that a good proportion of the people don't even speak English. This is a US city we're talking about. - to: - travel Eh, I could take it or leave it. It's kind of inconvenient, and the long hours driving are boring, and I'm always stressed out because driving is ridiculously dangerous--it's insane that this is something we as a society actually do. As for traveling by myself, I could never, ever, ever do that. I wouldn't dare even think about attempting it. I'm very worldily incompetent. I won't even take the bus by myself in my own neighborhood. I don't even like walking across intersections, I never know the right thing to do and I mess up and cars beep at me. =p - sing out loud when no one else is around I used to sing in the shower sometimes, the acoustics in there really make me sound good. I'd sing part of Safety Dance and one or two other songs which I can't remember now. I think one of them was Windmills of Your Mind. - video games Yes, I like racing games and Mario games. And a couple of fighting games. And flight simulators though I never actually use them. But I'm looking forward to playing MSFS again once our house finally gets 1Gbps fiber-optic internet. I actually bought an RTX 4090 mainly because my RTX 2080 Ti seemed underpowered for the latest MSFS. I bought GTA 5 and an Xbox controller for it (after buying a PS5 controller and not being able to get it to work), but I've yet to get past the mission you have to accomplish to play it. I probably wouldn't enjoy the game anyway. Here's a full list of my favorite games: Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario 64, every Mario Kart, F-Zero X, MRC: Multi-Racing Championship, every Super Smash Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario World, http://BeamNG.drive, every Clay Fighter, and SSX Tricky. - prefer to: - browse the Internet on your phone, computer, or another device Definitely my computers, cell phones are a PITA. And I don't own and never have owned a tablet. - live in a house or a flat Definitely a house. You can play loud music without worrying about it disturbing the people next to you; you have a yard; you'll never have to worry about somebody else's plumbing causing your own drains to back up or water to leak into your apartment, etc.; no noisy upstairs neighbors to keep you up at night; you don't have to take the stairs or elevator every time you leave or come back; etc. - take baths or showers I haven't taken a bath since I was a kid. - watch movies or read books Watch movies, though some things you just can't learn from movies, for example I'm on my third book on quantum mechanics right now. I used to read a lot of sci-fi when I was young (mostly Ben Bova, I think), but nowadays I only like non-fiction. I've always especially liked autobiographies, books by autists about their experiences with autism (Donna Williams and Tito Mukhopadhyay; Nobody Nowhere by Donna Williams was the book that got me into reading in general, it was the first book I read cover-to-cover maybe besides a few mandatory readings for school), and Neale Donald Walsch's works. - recycle Yes, of course. - think that late is better than never Umm...yes? It depends on the context, of course. - want: - more: - friends Idk, I think I have enough. Though maybe I'd like to talk to the ones I do have a little more often, and maybe even meet them in person. But as for making more friends, I'm veeery picky about whom I'd like to be friends with. All the friends I have now I made at least 24 years ago. They're probably ones in millions. - money Well duh. - things than you need - old times back Yes, no, maybe...they were both better and worse. - to know more: - about: - history Hell no. - new inventions I think I hear about new inventions enough. Though it would be nice to hear about all the good ones just to add them to my bookmarks or saved pages, in hopes that someday they'll go toward ensuring those great inventions don't slip through the cracks and get lost in time. - your: - future Hell yeah I'd like to know more about my future. But then, I think I already pretty much know how it's going to go down. - relatives Eh, I guess it would be nice to know more about my two of my cousins' psychic experiences. And it would be cool to fully understand what my cousin who makes six figures programming actually does. - your: - friends: - know: - [much, too much]: - about: - you Much? Maybe. Too much? Neh, not really. - your: - family Much? Eh. Too much? No. - friends Much? Not really. - hobbies Much? Not sure. - life Much? Some of them do. Too much? I'd say probably not enough. - like: - muffins I already answered this. - social networks Answered this. - video games Answered this. - you the way you are Yes and no. I'm far from what I'd want to be, but on the other hand, I'm enough exactly what I'd want to be that I'd never want to be anybody else. But...I do have crippling social anxiety and social ineptitude that make me miserable. That part I didn't choose about myself. - Have you ever: - been: - caught: - cheating No. But one time the professor of a class in college, I can't even remember the subject now, sat directly behind me the whole time we were taking a test...I think he might have suspected I'd been cheating since my grades were so good. Another time a philosophy professor made me see him before class to prove to him that I wrote the essay I wrote because he thought it was too good. =P - doing things you shouldn't do Yes, at least things society says we shouldn't do--whether they're actually bad things to do is completely another matter. - mistaken for someone else Not that I remember, though one guy mistook me for a lady when he saw me from behind. I was thin and and short and had long, wavy hair. - to: - Australia - Austria - Brazil - Bulgaria - China - Czechia - Finland - France - Germany - Italy - Japan - Mexico - Monaco - Norway - Poland - Russia - Slovakia - Slovenia - Sweden - Switzerland - Ukraine - Venezuela - the: - USA - United Kingdom Yes to France, Norway, Germany, and the USA. - had an accident Yes. One day I was getting into my friend's car in the passenger side, and I was so unhappy with my life and hopeless that I didn't put my seatbelt on (practically the only time I ever didn't) and I had the thought "I don't care if I die", and I purposely allowed it to sink down into my subconscious so that it would manifest. Then sometime during the drive, my friend sped up to go through a yellow light, and at the same time an old person driving in the opposite direction turned left right in front of us at the yellow light. I could tell we were going to collide, and I said, "Oh, shit", then we hit. Both cars were totaled, my forehead went through the windshield, and glass cut so close to my eye that it cut my eyebrow and severed my eyelid but didn't get my eye. Two of my front teeth were broken, my face was full glass, and I was bleeding profusely all over my Air Rescue T-shirt that I got from my dad. The old man was eventually wheeled away in a stretcher. At the hospital, a doctor or nurse tried to glue my eyelid back together, and she accidentally glued my eye shut, so she had to pull it back open before it set. I totally freaked out, because I'm so protective of my eyes. As she was trying to pull it back open, one of the nurses said, "he's not gonna take it!" But they did somehow manage to get it open again. At the moment they were messing with my eye, the only possible thing I could do was utterly surrender like I'd never done before. The next day, my psychic friend Arlen said, "there's a lot less misunderstanding in the universe." Like at least a decade later I pulled a half-inch piece of glass out of my forehead. I still have some scarring on my forehead from that crash. I was in another accident, too, this one when I was only about 14. I was riding my Honda minibike blazing fast down the dirt roads to our log cabin in Michigan, and then came a kid riding in ATV in the opposite direction. I didn't see him in time due to the curviness of the road, and I steered as much toward the right as I could but I couldn't fully avoid him. I have no idea what exactly happened next, but the next thing I knew I was sitting on the ground in front of my bike, facing away from it, and my hamstrings felt pulled. I asked the kid on the ATV if he was okay (he was), and then I noticed that my arm seemed to be slightly broken. So I left the bike there and ran to the cabin. I told my aunt my arm was broken, and she didn't believe me, so it was like four hours before I got to go to the hospital. The doctor reset my arm without any anaesthetic (he said I took it pretty well), then gave me a cast. He kind of told my dad off for trying to get me killed by allowing me to ride my minibike around like that. =P For some reason, after a few weeks the cast started to make my fingers grow some kind of layer of dark dead skin all over them. I remember slicing it off of my fingers with a razor into the sink in science class and hoping nobody saw me. - listened to: - classical music Is there, like, anyone who hasn't ever listened to classical music? I like some classical songs, most of it just seems mediocre. My favorite classical musician is Tchaikovsky, not that he made any of my all-time favorite classical songs, he just consistently made good music. I like cinema music better than classical, it's basically like classical but more dynamic, stimulating and interesting. - drum and bass Yes, I checked it out many years ago, I wasn't really thrilled with it, though there's one song I absolutely love that's classified as drum & bass, that's [Lamb - Gorecki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxNYQwnl34w). I discovered it at the end of the movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, which I never watched). It's a horror movie, and I've rarely ever watched horror movies, it's just not my thing. The song is a deep love song (it starts off "I've found the one I've waited for..."), and it starts playing as soon as the killer drags the last remaining protagonist underneath a table by her legs. - dubstep Yes. As I said on Twitter once, it took me two weeks to decide whether I liked dubstep or not. I don't exactly hate it, but I don't have many dubstep songs in my collection. The best dubstep song I've heard, though it's not really regular dubstep, is [MUST DIE! - Octopus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_QpovfkUmA). To me it sounds kind of like a seething pool of machine larvae. - frenchcore I've never heard of that. Lemme listen now. I listened to one song, it sucks. - hardstyle I don't know what that is. Lemme listen. It's okay, sounds like typical "epic" music to me. Okay, now it sounds like...epic trance? I kinda like it, I'll keep this tab open. - J-Pop Never heard of it, probably not worth my time listening. If anything I'd probably just like the videos of hot Japanese girls dancing. - K-Pop It's just okay (it's nice to watch the girls dance, though), though there's one K-Pop song I particularly like, [BLACKPINK - How You Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioNng23DkIM). I especially like the part where she sings, "How you like That, that-that-that, that, that-that-That, That". - metal Duh, yes, of course I've heard metal. I don't really like metal; well, that's an understatement, I think all the ugly sounds and dissonance probably f-ck badly with your energy, and I hate metal. But I do kinda like some atmospheric metal songs, such as [Summoning - Khazad Dum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BIM6qVTQoA) and [Velvet Acid Christ - Decay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yezrf_eCOro). - music: - "from the 50's" If there's any music I like from the '50s, it's probably jazz songs. - "from the 60's" I think I like a couple of songs from the '60s. Yeah, one of them I reeeally like is [Dusty Springfield - Windmills of Your Mind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzFJ38Coli8). I found out about this song when I was young, there was a metal rustic windmill with a music box that played a tune at yard sale, and my mom told me the tune was called Windmills of Your Mind, so eventually I looked it up and found Dusty Springfield's version. It was so entrancing that I was afraid to listen to the whole thing for a couple of weeks for fear that it would abduct a part of my mind into a space that it would be permanently stuck in. The song (not sung by Dusty) was made for the movie The Thomas Crown affair, which was about a genius with a free mind who planned a heist. I wrote a review of the movie and the later remake a long time ago here: https://inhahereviews.blogspot.com/2010/08/thomas-crown-affair.html - "from the 70's" One *really excellent* song from the '70s is [Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqW-eO3jTVU). It really takes me to the core of...all human experience. To the core of the earth. - "from the 80's" I like a lot of songs from the '80s, but I don't know which ones they are, so I'll just list one: [a-ha - Take On Me (Techno Remix)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxYThOqkja8). Oh, here's a much better one, [Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-26hsZqwveA). That song made me have a crush on Suzanne Vega, the freedom, the whimsicalness of it, the great melody, and the voice that sounds like a spiritual home I've yet to return to. This is the song that the group who made the mp3 spec used as a reference while making the spec. And here's a funny story: Suzanne Vega initially released this song on her own album a cappella, then DNA illegally used her song and added instrumentals to it without her permission, releasing it on their own album, which was a hit. So, instead of suing them, Suzy just took *their* version with the instrumentals and released it on *her* new album without asking them. - "from the 90's" One song I really, really adore from the '90s is [The Kelly Family - An Angel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUpmd4nm7YM&list=PLwbh4C0zA3pScrcSqSVpr1rNF48R3XbK1). I also like [Livin' Joy - Dreamer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuyQuRAsHI). Even more than that, I love [Wumpscut - Thorns (Distant Vocals Version)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OF3JBX4xyc). And another one is [Loreena McKennitt - Greensleeves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4rvcZMY37I). God, she sings that so perfectly. I once showed it to my friend, and he said it made him understand me better, or something like that. He said I'm too lonely. [Linda Brava - Flame](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2k45UQbL14) is a very sublime (and very unknown) song from the '90s. - nightcore Yes, or at least I've listened to di.fm's version of nightcore, which seems to be just regular trance music or whatever sped up. It was okay but I didn't stick to it. - punk rock Yeah, I've heard punk rock. I don't remember what it sounds like. I don't think there are any punk rock songs I like. Wait...is [Avril Lavigne - Sk8er Boi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIy3n2b7V9k) punk rock? Because I really like that song. I think I remember hearing that Avril Lavigne was punk rock when she started out. - trance Trance used to be my favorite genre of music, once I discovered it and hence graduated from techno. I don't listen to it so much nowadays, but I do like some variations of it, like psy trance and goa-psy trance. And I still love DJ Johan Gielen's sets, such as [Live at Sensation (White Edition)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFFO7ZzrUxk), which I think are trance. And I recently found one trance set that 's the only one I know of that's as good as Johan Gielen's, by Armin van Buuren and Ruben de Ronde, [A State of Trance - Beat the Silence](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Dx5i0yXy8) - vaporwave Dunno. I think so. - pet: - a bat - a bnuuy - a bunny - a cat - a coyote - a dog - a dragon - a ferret - a fox - a horse - a hyena - a lion - a lizard - a marten - a mouse - a raccoon - a rat - a shark - a wolf - an opossum - an otter - an owl Bunny, cat, dog, maybe rat, maybe mouse, caught lizards but not sure I've pet one, rode horses but didn't really pet them, - ridden a horse Yes, the first time I was in Texas and I was just a kid. I rode it for a long time, and when I got off of it my legs were stuck in the position of being on the horse as I was walking, so I was walking bow legged. My parents made fun of me. =P - written: - a love letter No, not that I remember. - code Yes, though most of the code projects I've started I've never finished. Some of them were even ridiculously ambitious. Here's one I finished that I'm proud of, though: [scribbles3](https://github.com/inhahe/scribbles3) - in Japanese No, I don't know Japanese. It seems a surprising number of people who are close to me have been interested in learning Japanese, though. I'm not. Though I was pretty interested in Chinese grammar at one time due to its flexibility and simplicity, I bought a book on it. - How: - fast: - are you Probably not very nowadays, I don't know, it's been a long time since I've ran. But when I was in young I used to run really fast. I could even catch up to the best athlete in the class in flag football. And I would impress people by running and jumping clear over the our driveway. I thought when I was young that maybe I should try out for track and field at school, but I was way too shy and socially incompetent. - is your internet connection We don't have fiber optic here, only DSL, so it's a lowly...I think, 24Mbps. At first our neighborhood didn't allow fiber optic installations (or so I heard), now they allow it but it'll take AT&T a long time to get to our house because our neighborhood is full of canals. - has your day been Not bad, my friend (ex-g/f from 2006, the one I lost my virginity to) is visiting me from Norway. She's very different nowadays, extremely quiet. Here's a [picture of her](https://www.deviantart.com/eode/art/ex-2-583528517) from 2006. - often do you: - cook Almost never. - eat food not prepared by yourself Almost daily. - iron your clothes I've probably done that like once in my life. =P Funny, I just saw a post today (I can't find it) where somebody said something about how lucky we are that ironing clothes is no longer a thing. - take selfies Once every few years. - use condiments I don't know, probably at least one in every four days, to give a wild guess. - many: - followers is too many NaN - open tabs do you currently have 19, but a lot of them I just opened temporarily for this questionnaire and haven't closed them yet. Also that's not counting the ones open on my other computer. - old are you As old as LaDamaX. Actually, here's one for you: I was born on the same day of the same year as Ashton Kutcher. Which is funny because I've had a huge crush on Mila Kunis ever since That '70s Show came out in 1998, and he's now married to her. It's not only her looks, it's the way she talks, I've never been that intrigued by someone's voice and the way they talk for anyone else except Sarah Silverman. - What: - [activity, activities]: - do you enjoy the most Showing my mom bookmarks I've saved for her, going to Starbucks with my mom and having a vente matcha Frappuccino with no whipped cream and watching the beautiful sexy young girls come in an out for an hour or two, answering questions on Retrospring, answering questions on Quora, writing essays, watching TV (South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, Mysteries at the Museum, Engineering Catastrophes, Strange Evidence, etc.), looking at porn, collecting porn, replying to people on Twitter, replying to people on Facebook, (lately) reading about quantum mechanics - apps do you use daily None, I use my phone as little as possible. This week my phone told me that I've used my phone 7m more than last week. - do you: - do: - for a living NEET - for fun See "what activities do you enjoy the most" above - on the weekend I never even know/care when it's the weekend. - like more,: - dogs or cats Cats are easier to take care of, but dogs are more loving. And cats purr when you pet them. And it's sadder when a dog dies than when a cat dies. Idk, probably cats. But maybe I'm biased because we have a bunch of cats and it's been like 16 years since we've had a dog. I still dream about that dog sometimes, I'm outside in the yard of the old house and he runs over to me and I pet him all over and he jumps and wiggles around in delight. But the dreams become more and more infrequent over time. He was a golden retriever that declared us his new owners in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. My dad didn't want him, but I set up a box on our porch for him and fed him anyway, then eventually he became ours (actually mine). In his last years, I felt so bad for him being tied or couped up all the time and bored to death that I started taking him for long walks on my scooter. I'd connect his leash to my scooter, and then let him just run around in whatever direction he wanted to go in, pulling me behind. But not too long later he developed arthritis that was so severe that he couldn't even get up to pee, and eventually we had to put him down. =/ - shower or bath Answered that already - tea or coffee Neither, unless you count the matcha Frappuccinos I have at Starbucks. Or the small cans of Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso and Cream that I have almost daily. Straight tea and straight coffee are both too bitter to me, I can only imagine they must be the drinks of psychopaths. - think about: - Bad Dragon I don't know what that is. - cats It's interesting that they can be content just sitting around and staring for hours a day every day of their lives. It's also interesting that they sleep about 18 hours a day. And that they're the only animal that preys for fun and they prey on more species than any other animal. It's also interesting how they all have their own unique personalities, just like humans. And sometimes I think about how someone I knew told me once that she knew an animal psychic, and the animal psychic refused to work with cats because they're "too emotional." It's also cool how many different colors they can be, how many different types of patterns there are, and how randomly unique each cat's patterns are. Also, I often see videos of really ridiculously sweet cats online and wish that we had cats that sweet. But some of our cats are fairly sweet, so that's ok. One thing I've noticed about cats is that they don't seem to converge the directions of their eyes toward their target like humans do. They can be staring at something right in front of them and each eyeball will be pointing straight forward. I suspect their area of stereopsis (I think this is called Panum's fusional area) extends to their entire field of vision, unlike with humans. I once experienced this myself while I was psychotic, and it was truly awesome and shocking. I could suddenly see in true 3D with and perfect clarity with my *entire* field of vision. The car that was right in front of our car looked impossibly small due to perspective. And another time it happened I was in a store and saw all the items perfectly lined up on all the selves, and the sheer ordered complexity of all blew me away. - coyotes It's creepy how they emit such a chilling howl. I don't get why some people pronounce it "kahy-oht" instead of "kahy-oht-ee". What is wrong with some people? - dogs It's amazing how loving, supportive and loyal they are. We don't deserve them. They're like a gift from God. Well, not all dogs, but the best/ideal dogs. It's also scummy of humans to breed dogs that have congenital diseases like hip dysplasia and noses that are too snub for them to properly breathe through pugs). - dragons People who think dragons are a real thing are retarded. They don't bother to differentiate fantasy from reality. Let alone that it would be physically impossible for a dragon to fly given its wingspan relative to its body mass, and there doesn't seem to be much magic in this world. But, on the other hand, as my friend Organelle said, things that exist in this world crystallize from more subtle space around it in much the same way crystals synthesize from the contents of the solutions they're in. So, maybe dragons really do exist on some "metaphysical" level, hence the mythos in this reality, but they just couldn't quite make it to physical manifestation in this world. Also, dragons are very reminiscent of of real animals in this world, such as snakes and other reptiles. - '"fact" accounts' I would like them, except that all too often they repeat facts they've gathered from the internet that aren't even true. Factoids. And even worse, you never know which ones are true and which ones aren't except when you do. And if you can't trust what they say, are they even worth listening to? - foxes They look like small dogs. Maybe like a cross between a dog and a cat. They look like they'd make an attractive pet. Looks can be deceiving. =P Also, it's not their fault when they break into farmers' chicken coups and stuff. They're just doing what nature calls them to do. Yet farmers see them as a menace and shoot them. - lizards They provide a cool challenge to see if you can catch them. And it's fun how you can get them to bite your ear and just let them hang there indefinitely like an earring. And it's cool how they come in bigger sizes, from lizards to chameleons to iguanas to Komodo dragons. Komodo dragons are really cool. It's like they shouldn't exist. A lizard that large is downright prehistoric. - raccoons I hear they're one of the smartest animals, which is cool. And they look cute. My mom was saying the other day that it's a shame we (meaning humanity) never domesticated them. I'm glad they don't get into fights with our cats. They even back off when our cats are eating, like they know the food isn't for them. They sure get into a lot of fights with each other, though. It's cool how Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy is a raccoon. And Guardians of the Galaxy are great movies. - society I could say way too much about society. Civilization should never have happened. Agriculture and technology have only made people miserable. The problem is compounded by, and in turn compounds, scientism, left-brain imbalance, rationalism, physicalism, being lost in representational thought, etc., which serve to quash all life and magic from the world. It quashes life through the paradigm that all things are made up of non-living matter, and are hence essentially dead, including plants and trees and even our own flesh. It quashes magic because the nature of magic is such that its manifestation is inextricably linked with its perception, and we deny its possibility in our paradigm. These thought patterns, together with our technological, domesticated lifestyle, separate us from Nature, spirit, God, ourselves, and each other. The acquisition of language was a pivotal point in our downfall, probably the first, but it wasn't the only one. Humanity is literally omnicidal. It is insane. We're destroying all life on Earth, at a rapid and exponentially increasing pace. Part of the problem is that we've set up society such that the least scrupulous (up to and including the psychopathic) people end up in the most economically (and, to some degree, politically) powerful positions. This is because capitalism establishes businesses as entities without conscience, which are to be excused us such, and businesses naturally higher the least scrupulous people as their CEOs because by design businesses only care about the bottom dollar, and having principles can only act as a limiter to what endeavors of profiteering are available to you. So it's a kind of social Darwinism of the evilest. These sociopathic CEOs are the ones running the world into the ground because they can never, ever make enough money. I could say a lot more, but I'd go on forever so I'll stop there. - surveillance It's evil. Totalitarian. I mean, having more cameras around actually makes me feel better, because violent criminals can't get away with hurting and killing people as much, but surveillance like what the NSA is doing is bad. The people who say that if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about are wrong. Not all laws are just, and this mass surveillance is only going to act as a platform for the government to enact more and more totalitarian laws. I heard recently that the government (US) is trying to pass a law that would force corporations to act as spies for them, or something like that. I don't know the details. But the problem is only getting worse. Give the people a little breathing room, ffs. And the really sad thing is that after Edward Snowden put his whole life on the line in order to whistleblow the mass NSA spying to the public, nothing changed. It was like Atlas shrugged. Nobody cared enough. - the Internet It's a really neat invention, but it probably has as many negative consequences as positive ones. It brings us all together while separating us further. We can talk to anyone in the world at our fingertips, but we don't even talk to our friends face to face, or even with voice. People growing up on meme culture has catalyzed a lot of inclusionism, but the algorithms are creating echo chambers of ragebait that divide us more than ever. And policing words, being offended on behalf of others who couldn't care less, weaponizing being offended, canceling the politically incorrect, and virtue signaling have become more important than any actual social justice. And kids don't play with real things anymore, they're all growing up on cellphones and tablets. Our minds are becoming more virtualized. Too many people currently aren't "touching grass." - usually: - do when you're bored See "What activities do you enjoy the most". - have for breakfast I don't usually have breakfast. - habit do you really find cute in a person I can't think of any. - is: - "heavier: a kilogram of steel, or a kilogram of feathers" They're the same by definition, duh. A kilogram is a measure of weight, and a kilogram is a kilogram, whether it's a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers. The reason this sounds counterintuitive is that you're just not picturing *enough* feathers to make up for the weight of the relatively small amount of steel. - one thing you would like to become better at I wish I was as good at math and logic as I used to be. Something suddenly happened to my mind during a paranoid episode in 2006, and it's never been the same since. I was terrified of the possible consequences of every thought I had, and kept trying to correct them, while making more thoughts in the process, etc. etc., and then all of a sudden some major part of my mind or mental energy just uplifted out of my head and into thin air, and my mind was suddenly quite and at peace. Then when I slept I had a dream that someone was trying to mow a lawn for his job, and he kept saying, "which way do I go? Which way do I go?" and not moving anywhere. Ever since then, whenever I try to solve math or logic problems that I used to be great at before, it's like I'm unable to pick a plan of attack. I try to attack it from all angles at once, and the result is a clusterfuck. - the: - [best, worst]: - fast food chain Idk, I can't just pick one, because I have different favorite foods from different fast food chains. McDonald's: Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddle, French fries, Coke. Burger King: Cheeseburger. Taco Bell: Chicken Quesadilla. Checkers: Champ Burgher. Arby's: Orange Cream Shake (they only have it now and then), French Dip, Marketfresh Turkey & Swiss Sandwich. Arby's used to have a lot more things I loved, such as the Philly Steak & Cheese Sandwich and the Loaded Italian, but they keep discontinuing them. =/ Really, I could narrow my favorites down to two if I had to: The Burger King Cheeseburger and the Taco Bell Chicken Quesadilla. I used to always get the Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell, but I don't like it anymore. - thing: - about: - society I guess the best things about society are the security, comfort, convenience, and entertainment, but I say that apprehensively as those things require technology, and I think technology ultimately is like the spice: it gives with one hand and takes away with a thousand others; i.e., it gives us a few overt benefits while being deleterious in a way more profound but subtle ways, and what's worse, as technology builds and builds, this effect only increases (there's a reason depression rates are rampant), and we're unable to see what it's really doing to us as it's happening. The worst thing about society is wage slavery, by far. Or the omnicidal devastation of our biosphere. Or the mass, abject, lifelong animal misery caused by factory farming. Or the suffering of human beings caused by our own mentality, being lost in our models rather than actually participating with life. For example, when we see a tree, we don't really *see* a tree, we see a generic instantiation of something we call a tree and know some "objective facts" about. Hence we don't even recognize it as a living, experiencing being offering unimaginable psychic possibilities, and instead simply chop it down for our convenience. To build an armchair, or because it blocks the view. - the Internet I already covered that with "What do you think about the Internet." - your: - country Best: The economy (actually evil though, since a stronger economy equals faster devastation of the environment), safety from war (also evil since it requires a multi-trillion-dollar-a-year Department of Defense), fair laws and a fair justice system (at least compared to a lot of other countries), the national parks, friendly people (people from other countries always say this) Worst: No universal healthcare, we work too hard, two-party political system (and one party is retarded and extreme and only survives due to gerrymandering and the electoral college), medical bankruptcy, student loan dept, wealth disparity, obesity, high number of religionists per capita, sexophobia (like ass societies, but less in some), a few times more prisoners per capita than any other state, lack of ranked choice voting, gerrymandering, government corruption, our foods are full of sweets and carcinogens, some of which are illegal in most countries, no paid maternity leave, ignorance, exploitation of other peoples, massive debt - favourite: - book It's written way too well, and the energy and intentions behind it are too pure, for it to possibly have been created by a human. And it's a guideline for life that reveals the big picture. It's Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 or Book 3 by Neale Donald Walsch. (It's not religious.) The other books in his dialogue series are great, too. - movie I'm not sure what my favorite movie is... What Dreams May Come: It's a stunningly beautiful and hope-inspiring depiction of the afterlife, and has plot elements that don't exist in this world or in movies in general, but make perfect sense for an afterlife...one of them actually made me cry. I Heart Huckabees: It's a lively/energetic exposition of karma, synchronicity, and unity. And it has Dustin Hoffman. Joe Versus the Volcano: The story is so creative, whimsical, real, and magical. And it has a whole island full of people who drink nothing but oversized cans of orange soda, and at the time I saw it orange soda was my favorite drink. The Matrix Reloaded: It's just a tour de force of entertaining action and intellectual stimulation. I didn't care for the first Matrix film at all, I thought it was like candy for people who'd never had a philosophical thought before. - series I don't know what my favorite series is. I guess the one I've been enjoying most lately is Mysteries at the Museum. I just like learning interesting stories of things that happened in the past. - hometown I already answered the worst and best things about my hometown somewhere above. - ever The best thing ever is being able to be a human being with this wonderful body and to interact with others. The worst thing ever is having to be a human being with this disgusting death trap of a body, and hell is other people. - one can do if they're bored Worst: Torture an animal Best: Learn something new, or pick up a new skill. - way to prepare and eat eggs The worst way to eat an egg is boiled, but even that isn't so bad, I eat boiled eggs sometimes. The best way you can eat an egg is over medium in a sandwich with tomatoes, lettuce, bacon and mayonnaise and stuff, or over fried corned beef hash Or...no, the best way to eat an egg is deviled, with a 1:1 mustard/mayonnaise ratio. - your: - dream job Famous philosopher, famous actor, famous musician, or famous physicist. - favourite: - activity I listed my favorite activities elsewhere. I don't know which one would be the *most* favorite. - animal Idk, maybe the bald eagle or the quokka. - beverage Orange Cream Shake from Arby's, but they only have it now and then. Krispy Kreme used to have a similar one called Oranges & Kreme Shake. I also used to love the Vanilla Bean Coolatta from Dunkin' Donuts, but the last time I had it it sucked for some reason. ;/ Every time I go to Starbucks, I get a vente matcha Frappuccino with no whipped cream. I've been getting it (I used to get the tall) ever since I saw someone carrying a green Frappuccino in Starbucks and thought it looked delicious so I asked him what it was. Before then I always used to get the cinnamon dulce Frappuccino. - board game I used to love checkers, because I was good at it, and it's easy to fully think about. I never played by the right rules, though, we didn't know that you *have* to jump a piece if you can. The first time I ever played with the right rules, on a website against some lady, I was smearing her a$$, and she sent me a message, "Are you having fun?" or something like that. 🤣 But I'm not sure I'm good at it anymore. I like chess, but I'm not very good at it (but I can still beat my mom and my friends), and it literally hurts my brain trying to compute all the cascading possibilities for each move. I mean how the heck do people do this? I like the *idea* of Go, because of its complexity in simplicity, but it's hard. Though the first time I played, I played against a friend who had been practicing, and I won. He asked me how I did that. I sorta just went by intuition. I like the idea of Othello AKA Reversi for the same reason, complexity in simplicity, but it's so hard to think about what will happen even in the next move, let alone for moves ahead. But one time I played against a computer just going on pure intuition, not even thinking about what I was doing, and I beat it in like 5 moves. Usually Othello doesn't end until you fill the whole 8x8 board, which takes 64 moves. I also once played some cellular-automata-like game where you have to click the right sequence of squares to make all the shapes completely disappear, and I went completely by intuition, not thinking about what I was doing at all or taking any time, and I beat it in just a few moves. - book series The dialogue series of books by Neale Donald Walsch. - console I guess the Nintendo Switch. I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan, ever since the NES, and my philosophy is that each subsequent console is better than the previous ones because it's more powerful. - food I don't know, one of my favorites is beef ribs cooked until they're falling off the bone with barbeque sauce. I also love Domino's pizza with extra tomato sauce, banana peppers, pineapple, bacon, garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, black olives, and a few other things I can't think of at the moment, smothered in Domino's garlic butter sauce (one-half a cup per slice). I put so many toppings on it that one pizza costs around $40 dollars not including taxes and tip. Another thing I really like, that's pretty healthy, is a spinach wrap from Publix with mustard, turkey, spinach leaves, tomatoes, banana peppers, jalapenos, black olives, pickles, mushrooms, cucumbers, green peppers, and deli sauce. I get one every time I go to Publix. I have a half of one in the fridge right now. Eat your vegetables. Science says eating an adequate amount of vegetables prevents 90% of health issues. That seems way preferable to taking pills to compensate for your health issues, which have side effects up to and including death, and pills for those side effects, which have their own side effects, and/or getting surgery and going into medical bankruptcy... - Internet browser Chrome. Firefox is okay, but I just jumped right onto Chrome as soon as it came out because it was faster, and I haven't gone back. I also think its interface is sleeker. And all my bookmarks, history, cookies and passwords are in Chrome. - language Latin (it's just so badass) or French (the most beautiful language). Esperanto is cool too (it's so logically designed, you can construct many words out of more basic root words, and also infer their meanings from such). - name Idk, off the top of my head, maybe Christina, Cassandra or Ayesha. Lemme check my [babynames](https://babynames.com/namelist/view.php?VNLID=9861263) page. Yeah, those are my favorites. For guys my favorites are Jayden, Christian, Sasha, maybe Shannon, and maybe Luka. - number 7. I also like 10, 11, 17, and 100. 16 is also pretty cool. - piece of music I couldn't possibly choose. Uuuugh... Okay I'll say [Fur Elise as played by Alfred Brendel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCN9QKWjt-0&list=PLwbh4C0zA3pScrcSqSVpr1rNF48R3XbK1&index=1&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB). He really understands the piece better than any other player of it I've heard by far. Well, it's probably not really my favorite at this time, but it's probably the most timeless. For other favorites keep listening to that list linked to in the link. - programming language Python, x86 or C++. I usually code in Python, but sometimes C++ for really CPU-intensive things, and I used to code in x86, I made a whole BBS terminal program with ANSI support, Avatar support (not as in pfp's but as in the terminal emulator protocol), and a phone book. It also supported ANSI keyboard remapping which I used for my own entertainment on unsuspecting BBSers who wanted to use my program. And constantly it showed the actual ASCII data stream zooming from right to left on the bottom row of the screen. I don't remember if it supported ANSI music or not. One problem with it, though: it only supported up to 9600 BPS, because I didn't know how to use the UART and such for 115200 BPS so I just used the BIOS. The other problem with it: I somehow lost it. Funny thing is, I have every other program I've ever made. =P If I can include imaginary programming languages, then the one I haven't made yet intended for code golf that supports every programming construct ever invented (including both imperative programming and functional programming, among other things), an extremely terse syntax, and the entire Python standard library with every module and function name replaced by two-character strings. And you can execute a string just by calling it with () and calls it like a function. And you can grab a context from any scope into a variable and pass it to a function. And you can modify variables from within a function that aren't in the function. And you can modify the interpreter of the program as it's running, or modify the interpreter of the interpreter of the program, etc. etc., and all the levels of interpreter are coded in this programming language. - season Winter. I love the cold air (in South Florida, that means 50°F _minimum_), the Christmas trees and the Christmas lights. And, once upon a time, the fractal, electric feeling in the air and the Christmas music back when it was played more and it wasn't modern pop garbage. - snack Fuego Takis, Spicy Sweet Chili Dorito's, Salt & Vinegar Chips, Publix Granola Bark, Lindt 70% Cocoa Chocolate, Mozzarella & Prosciutto Paninis, Vlasic Zesty Dill Pickles...idk. The Takis, Dorito's and chips are too junk-food-y for me, the granola bark I hardly ever get, the pickles they don't seem to make anymore, and salt & vinegar chips put sores on my tongue...I guess Lindt 70% Cocoa Chocolate. - sports team I hate sports. Though I do have a small black Raiders bucket hat that I've had since I was a kid since I thought it was cool. I once lost it on Splash Mountain at Disney World and my aunt found it for me. =P - text editor Notepad, Wordpad, or Word depending on the purpose. For something quick and dirty, I use notepad. For writing my book of essays, I use word. I used to use Wordpad for text that had LF's without CR's because Notepad didn't display them right, or when I needed RichText. I hate the way Wordpad works now, everything is in a narrow column in the center. For Linux my favorite is gedit, because it's like notepad. I don't like vim or emacs, they're not intuitive at all. I just want to get sh*t done, I don't want to have to study the text editor. - type of cheese Parmesan, Swiss, Smoked Gouda, Chipotle Gouda, Pepperjack, Feta (I only ever liked one brand, all the others were too salty, and I don't remember what brand it was) Absolute worst cheese: Brie. Well, blue cheese tastes literally like toe jam, but even that goes well in certain salads. - video game I'm not sure, I guess F-Zero X. I listed all my favorites somewhere above. - way to eat a potato Loaded potato skins are pretty good. If it's a sweet potato then baked sweet potato fries, especially waffle cut. - website HMM. \*Thinks long and hard\*. \*Clicks new tab to see what comes up\* Idk I guess Retrospring. - first memory I'm not sure which was the first, I have a few early memories: 1. Asking my dad what school is. 2. Falling between a chair and with my head bouncing rapidly back and forth between the chair and the wall and seeing stars, 3. Running back and forth across the living room and on top of the chairs because I was excited that Christmas was coming, 4. Going to sleep on the couch in the house on the beach my dad grew up in when we were there for Christmas, with a penny in my mouth, and then waking up with the penny gone.. I'd guess I was around 4 at the earliest for some of these memories. And they're really just memories of memories at this point. - kind of animals do you have Cats. - languages do you know English. - was: - the: - best day of your life like I can count on one hand the number of times I've been truly happy, and it was always brief. But here's the writeup I have of those various times: I've had four moments of true happiness in my life, and they've all been completely different kinds of happiness. One was when I was at my family's log cabin in Michigan, I woke up and I suddenly just felt soo happy, I have no idea why. I was just so happy to be alive. So I stepped out of the cabin into nature and being there made me so happy that I literally laughed out loud for a second, uncontrollably. That's the only time I've ever been so happy that I had to laugh at nothing. Another time was when I was swimming in the pool with my little sister (who's very intuitive), and she had me stay still while she dumped a pale of water on my head. I closed my eyes. You'd think there's nothing scary about having some water dumped on your head, but for some reason that simple act entailed that I had to *trust* her, a kind of surrender. I think that was the key to what happened next.. I suddenly felt divine happiness literally in my heart (heart chakra or maybe solar plexus chakra). It was so subtle yet so real and something that was so far from my normal miserable empty experience. Anyway while in this state I was watching the trees blowing in the wind, and I could actually *see* the happiness of the trees or their leaves being tickled by the wind and the sun, because it was the same happiness in my heart. So now I know that trees actually are spiritually alive and sensitive and enjoy life. Sometime not too much later I overheard my mom saying that my sister had told her that a pain she'd had in her hand for years was magically gone. I think it probably had something to do with the divine presence touching my heart while we were in the pool. The joyous feeling in my heart that time was a living energy, like there was a kind of inner motion to it. Many years later I read somewhere, I'm pretty sure in The Power of Now, that some special state of consciousness--I forget how he described or named it, something like bliss or enlightenment or connection to and love for all life--is often attained by people who spend many years suffering and then have a moment of surrender. Another time I had to walk through the cafeteria of my niece's elementary school while it was chalk full of children, and I didn't have my hat on which I usually liked to wear to cover up my baldness. I actually felt like I looked a little bit freaky, because I had long wavy hair and was also partially bald. So I was really embarrassed but I decided to have courage and just do it. A minute later when I was back outside of the building walking along the sidewalk, I could perceive this *soft white* energy filling all the space and surrounding everything in it, and I felt so at peace and comforted by this energy--like it was God or something--that I smiled a *huge* smile for this little girl that was walking by me from the other direction, and it was genuine.. It would have taken more effort *not* to smile than to smile. Again, this is extremely unusual in my experience. That's actually the only time I can remember smiling and not being forced to, besides when I happen to be laughing at something. By the way, I was also carrying an open black umbrella over my head at the time even though it wasn't raining. =p The fourth time I was truly happy (fourth in this list, I mean--this probably isn't in chronological order), I was in a mall and suddenly randomly I felt an actual glow/source of light in the center of my heart (heart chakra or solar plexus chakra area) and I guess it kind of emanated from my whole being in a way because this kid who was in front of me randomly said hi to me.. that like *never* happens to me. All of these moments of happiness were truly sublime, but they only lasted a few minutes or maybe less each time. There was also another time I remember that could possibly have been the happiest moment of my life, it was when I got back home after having been on vacation for a few weeks with some relatives. The door was opened and my mom was in the living room vacuuming and I ran to her and hugged her. I don't actually remember how that felt, I just remember what I did, or remember remembering it, so I'm not sure if it was the happiest moment of my life or not. Also I'm not sure if there were other equally happy moments during my childhood that I just don't remember. - [best, worst]: - thing you've eaten so far Best thing: Idk, probably something my dad made at some time and never wrote down how he made it so he'll never be able to make it again. Worst: Idk, I bought a clear container full of small candy-coated chocolate prolate sphereoids from Barnes & Noble or Borders once, and they tasted exactly like soap. Oh, wait, no, one time when I was a lot younger I was eating a slab of Salisbury steak from a TV dinner, and one part it had the most absolutely awful, disgusting taste I'd ever tasted. I still wonder wtf that was. - last: - concert you've been to Never been to a concert, never want to. They're way too loud, and I don't want to get (more) tinnitus, I'm very protective of my body and senses, and live music always sucks ass; I'd much rather just listen to the album version. And even if the live music didn't suck ass, there are very few bands that I like more than, say, 1 or 2 songs from. I'm very picky about music; most of it sounds like crap to me, so most of the concert would just be meh. And I don't think I want to be in such a dense crowd, either; I guess I'm kind of antisocial, and also I've heard stories of people getting bones broken, beer sloshed on them, etc., to say nothing of the possibility of deadly, terrifying crowd crush. One time I did see KC and the Sunshine Band playing live, though. I was just randomly walking around Coconut Grove once, and they happened to be playing on a small stage in the middle of the walkway, and I walked right past them. =P - song you listened to on repeat I think [ATB - Twilight](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP3Lmjw62-c). I've listened to this song on repeat all day before. It sounded like some deep, existential part of my soul, so deep that it's essentially forever solitary, was actually experiencing a taste of happiness or joy for once in eons. - thing you: - ate Half a turkey wrap from Publix as described earlier. - did Answered 500 million previous questions in this questionnaire. - have: - bought I bought a deep, bright red plush bathroom mat and a greenish clear shower safety mat made of many connected odd-shaped, vaguely round pieces from Amazon for my friend who's visiting me from Norway. - done What, what in the actual f--- is the difference between the last thing I did and the last thing I have done? =P - eaten See above. - looked for A small diffraction grating cat-shaped window sticker to cast rainbows from the sunlight into the house that my friend since the early '90s gave me in a birthday card that I put on the window next to the door and then my mom took off the window to put on her car because it wasn't working where it was, and then lost. - your favourite song: - as a kid I only liked one song throughout my whole childhood that I remember, [Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6Q3mHyzn78). One day my dad actually called the station and requested they play it and recorded it on tape because I asked him to. I still have the cassette tape somewhere. I was really surprised that he did that because I always felt that he hated me, so it meant a lot to me. - from a few weeks ago I don't even remember. - would you do if you: - had: - one billion euros I'd start up some projects I've always wanted to do, such as: A not-for-profit business that specializes in helping people and communities start up their own employee-owned businesses, preferably not-for-profit ones, and also helps communities organize community projects, such as parks, museums and other things, by green-lighting them only if enough people pledge to donate enough money to fully fund the project, otherwise nobody donates anything. I would call this company Project Catalyst Organization, or ProCat for short. made a Facebook group for it a long time ago that I was going to link to, but I actually can't find it. =/ A website showing all bills congress is going to consider soon, and allowing users to upvote or downvote them, or create their own modifications of them which can then be upvoted or downvoted by other users. The hope is that congress will actually pay some kind of attention to the will of the people as expressed on this website. A website called Rate My Idea, where users can submit ideas in all sorts of categories from philosophy to inventions to recipes, rate other's ideas, and list them per category randomly or by rating. The one described in the last four paragraphs of my essay [About Ads](https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2024/04/05/about-ads/) More importantly, though, I'd create a political organization that aims to get corruption by large corporations out of government through campaign reform and other means, all mentioned in the sixth paragraph of the above essay. We'd run ads informing people of the problems and also supporting candidates that we think are good for the issues and maybe attacking candidates that we think are bad for them, and also would contribute to campaigns, lobby, etc. - one million euros Save it for living comfortably for the rest of my life. Also, I'd immediately buy a 45-lb 4"x4"x4" tungsten cube. - the ability to fly Show it off to as many people as possible as soon as possible, to show the world that magic really does exist. Or maybe that would be a bad idea, maybe I'd be shot down by some lunatic, likely a religious nutjob who thinks I'm a witch, or I'd be captured by the government and subjected to endless cruel experiments and dissections until I die. - were a dragon Find out what my world is all about and what I could do to aid the human race. - woke up with: - some drawings in your face Ask the people in my house how the f--- that happened/who did it, why. If nobody fessed up, I might just file a police report, or I might just consider it the biggest mystery of my life and let it go. Though, in actuality, if it happened now, the only thing different from usual is my ex is visiting me, and she's a little strange, so I'd just assume she did it and that she's crazy. If she denied it, though, I might ask her a couple more times in a certain way, but I wouldn't press the issue much beyond that, I wouldn't want to create bad vibes (in case it really wasn't her, I guess). - someone else next to you Depends on who. Is it someone currently living in this house or my ex who's visiting us? Nbd. Is it a stranger? I'd ask, "Who are you?", or maybe, "Whoa! Who are you!?" and see where it goes from there. - Which food do you: - hate I can't stand coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad, onions (except caramelized onions), sour cream, or sweet and sour sauce. I also refuse to use Thousand Island dressing, even though I'm not really even sure what it tastes like. I also wouldn't eat insects or worms in any form, such as chocolate covered crickets or mealworm. - love Already answered this earlier. - Who is: - the most famous person you have met I've actually never met a famous person (what's wrong with me?? Everybody's met a famous person!!), but I've seen a few in person. The guy who played Al Bundy on Married with Children came to my high school, and I saw him in the hallway signing autographs, looking bored to death and chewing gum. I've also seen Bill Clinton and Janet Reno (former Attorney General) on the front lawn of the White House giving a speech while I was there with some relatives to visit the Smithsonian. And I once saw someone saying some really sophisticated-sounding word salad in a philosophy IRC channel that reminded me of Chris Langan's CTMU (Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe) that I had read some of, and I told him that, and he private-messaged me, "that's my baby" and we talked for a while, so I kinda met the person who once held the Guinness World Record for highest IQ (196). They eventually stopped hosting that category, I think because it caused too much drama and contention, probably over who was the rightful winner. And I've had a few brief exchanges with other famous people online.. My favorite author, Neale Donald Walsch, once replied to my reply to a tweet of his Suzanne Vega once retweeted something nice I said about my favorite song of hers, and she "liked" most of my tweets to her And Miranda Cosgrove followed me because of some things I said, and then unfollowed me because I was being psychotic in DMs, and then I immediately closed that account, and then eventually made a new one, which she immediately followed because of something I said. And once I was in a small virtual chatroom with Tori Amos and said something just before she left about how highly I thought of her even though I never really liked her music, but I don't know if she saw it. - your favourite: - Retrospring user Hmm, f00fy is a favorite lately because he's smart and likes a lot of my posts; Kate is always a favorite because she's smart, she's sexy, and she has a rich mind, a vivid imagination and a lot of personality; Jacqueline (don't remember her current handle, she hardly ever comes on) because she's really pretty and she earnestly answers others' questions by researching them and then writing up whole essays in response. I think most people wouldn't think much of it, but for some reason that's really attractive to me. - actor Johnny Depp, Gary Oldman, Miranda Cosgrove, Mila Kunis, a few others - artist Daniel B. Holeman, Thomas Kinkade, Hans Zatzka - comedian Louis CK, Conan O'Brien, John Mulaney - musician That's hard to say since most of my favorite songs are the only ones I like by the people who made them, or maybe I like one or two others by them. So should I just pick a musician who made one of my favorite songs? That doesn't seem right. And I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite song anyway. Should I pick the musician I like the most songs by? That doesn't seem right either, if none of their songs are in my, say, top 10. I guess I have a few contenders. Enya - I like a lot of songs by her, and she's unique in how her music really brings you up to a spiritual level. It's transcendental. And even the songs of hers that aren't my favorites, aren't that bad. I have somewhere between 82 and 107 songs by her, 25 of which are my favorites. The Glitch Mob - They made at least two or three great albums, and I actually have six albums and EPs by them. Robert Miles - I just like him because Children was one of my first favorite songs, and Dreamland I think was my first favorite albums, and his next album, 23am, was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I bought it not even knowing what it sounded like because I liked Dreamland so much. At first I was kind of disappointed, though it could have been worse, but then over time it grew on me. Then he made a third album, Organik, which was completely different and nobody liked it and everybody thought he should have stuck to what he was good at. =P Shpongle - I love at least three of their albums, I think. I downloaded their whole discography--everything I could find. Someone I know who really seems to understand the nature of things from having done a lot of psychedelic drugs said that Shpongle is really good at capturing the essence of the psychedelic trip in music. DJ Johan Gielen - My favorite trance artist. The Crystal Method - Honorable mention. They made one pretty bad-ass album, Vegas, and it was one of my first favorite entire albums, still one of the very few albums I actually love every song on. I discovered them probably in the '90s when I heard one of their songs on a car commercial, and luckily they happened to display the song's name and artist over the commercial. In retrospect, I didn't really realize how lucky I was--who even does that? - Why do: - people climb mountains It's an obvious challenge, it's so massive and real/directly physical, posing immediately obvious difficulties, but not ones that are too unpredictable or unpreparable for, and some people just love conquering challenges to feel good about themselves. There may be an element of "If I can do this, I can do anything," and also standing atop a mountain peak and looking down at the landscape for miles around you is the perfect metaphor for accomplishments and overcomings of challenges that bring you to new heights (so to speak), perspective and potential. - printers never work when you need them Maybe they never work, and you only notice that they don't work when you need them, because that's when you're using them, or using them a lot. Really, though, it's probably something more like the spirit of defeat that constantly confounds every endeavor of man, inspiring such aphorisms as Murphy's law ("Anything that can go wrong will go wrong"). Why it does this, I don't know. - they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food The doctor says the delirium should wear off in about 15 minutes. - Would you: - buy a cheese flavoured bubble gum I don't even like bubble gum. Also, no. - eat a cactus Depends on whether it's edible, how it tastes, and if it has thorns on it. If it has thorns on it, and also if it's not edible, you'll have to pay me a lot of money. No, wait, I couldn't eat the thorns no matter how much money you paid me because it would poke holes in my esophagus, stomach, and maybe intestines, possibly killing me. - rather: - be the best player on a horrible team or the worst player on a great team More the former, but neither is really a good option. The former would make me constantly depressed that my efforts are brought down by inferior teammates, and also I may not get the recognition I deserve be being on an unsuccessful team (or a team whose success level is not commensurate with my skill). And in the latter case, everyone on the team and probably all the fans watching would look down on me and resent me. But it really depends on whichever option would get me the most money, fame and sex. - live in: - a city or in the countryside I don't know, cities suck. There's higher crime rates, more noise, more pollution, everything around you is made of asphalt and concrete...but the countryside sucks too. You have to travel many miles to town to get anything useful, and God forbid someone need to go to the hospital, and everyone around you is a Republican, Trump-supporting redneck. On the plus side, everybody knows everybody in rural areas, I think? This is the kind of community we're lacking in today's society that's crucial for harmonious living. Also, I think being immersed in nature in the countryside would be very invigorating. I don't even know which I'd rather, since I've never lived in a city proper, only suburbia, so I don't know what it's like in order to compare. (I've never lived in the countryside, either, but it's simpler. I can imagine it.) If I can choose the suburbs of a big city, though, like where I live now, I'd pick that. I like the convenience of everything I need or want being a few minutes' drive away. - a flat or in a house I answered this earlier. - lose an arm or a leg I REFUSE TO ANSWER THIS. Here are the questions that were removed. They're not in hierarchical format, because I don't know where f00fy found them so I'm just copying them from his answers. - What do you do for a living? I answered that. - Where do you live? I once heard it called Cuba North. - Where do you work? I answered that. - Can you speak different languages? Yes, I can speak English, pig Latin, and Jailbird. I could also probably speak in tongues if I really tried. Not that I'd want to, speaking stream-of-consciousness, repetitive, frenzied nonsense would be embarrassing. The pastor of our church has spoken in tongues a few times. He says "Mamacita" a lot. I felt embarrassed for him. - Do you like the city where you live? I hate anywhere on this God-forsaken planet, but my city is as good as any. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it PHP? I don't really like PHP because it doesn't really seem like a serious language. When I used it, it felt more like a toy makeshift language constructed in a week to satisfy the rapidly growing demand of low-quality web programmers. It's weakly typed, making it a clown language; all its functions are top-level built-ins, making it unkempt; etc. It's probably improved since then, but you can only change so much in a language. I still remember the time I used the sort() function once on a rather large list, and it would sort a certain portion of the list and then just leave the rest unsorted, no error or anything. I'd much rather program in Python, and if I really want the convenience of intermixing HTML code and program code, I'll just use something like Jinja2. One thing I really liked about PHP, though, is that $X means the value of the variable named by the contents of X, $$X means the value of the variable named by the contents of the variable named by the contents of X, and so and and so forth. That's really cool and like something I would do if I made a programming language. Though I guess it wouldn't really be necessary if they had proper hash tables/dictionaries. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it Rust? I haven't really tried Rust yet. I'm afraid. All the code examples I've seen of Rust looked extremely cryptic and advanced. That could just be because they almost all came from a secret IRC channel of elite programmers, though. The syntax also looked ugly, like I think I noticed unmatched <'s and >'s or something like that. And I'm not sure how hard it'll be to wrap my head around the borrow checker, I have no idea how it actually works yet. And, as much as I feel like I should try the next big thing, I'm not sure I can justify it when C++ does everything I need. I've never come into problems with memory safety in C++, I guess just because I've never done anything serious in it. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it C++? C++ is elegant, but I have a beef with it. They try to make the syntax actually simpler than it should be. For example, the syntax to define a constructor is just to make a function with no type specified that has the name name as the class. They should have made you explicitly declare that that's the constructor somehow! Or, I've seen an example where an someone put "const" in five different places within a line of code, and it meant a different thing for each possible position. I used to have more examples, but it's been a while. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it Lisp? I've never used Lisp, but it sounds cool due to its ability to self-modify. But it's a functional programming language, and I haven't learned functional programming yet. I'm not sure it's something that will come easily for me. Seeing people talk about functional programming code in programming channels makes me feel like it's really sophisticated, intellectual and advanced. And it doesn't help that satisfactorily explaining exactly what a monad in FP is and does is a known impossibility. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it Pascal? I programmed like one thing in Pascal, one function, I think back when I was in high school. I don't remember what class that could possibly have been, though, the only CS elective I ever took was BASIC programming. Pascal is okay. I got the impression Pascal was just a good programming language for teaching beginners the structure of a program. I'd use Delphi before I'd use Pascal because it's just a more modern Pascal. I hear it's fast and it doesn't use pointers like C++ does, which comforts me because I still haven't completely wrapped my head around referencing and dereferencing on multiple levels. I had to literally do trial and error with asterisks and ampersands just to figure out how to pass a two-dimensional array to a function. =P I actually installed Delphi once planning to use it, but I never really got into it. I think it's proprietary and it's expensive, so maybe I pirated it. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it Swift? I don't know Swift. - What is your favourite programming language and why is it Ruby? - I wish I knew what Ruby's appeal is. To me it's just like Python's ugly little sister. I guess it's only popular because Ruby on Rails is so good, and Ruby on Rails was written before Python became more popular? I call Ruby "ugly" because of its use of special character prefixes before certain variables. - What is your favourite website and why is it Reddit? Reddit is a cool idea, but I've never really gotten into it. I mean, I guess I visit it frequently just because I often come across links to reddit posts, including some in my Reddit email newsletter. But it's definitely not my favorite website, just because I've never really gotten into it. I guess it's just not my vibe. - What is your favourite website and why is it Twitter? The website formally known as Twitter is definitely one of my favorites, even though Elon has done his damnedest to run it into the ground for some reason. There's just tons of activity there and lots of interesting characters of all different types to follow. And the microblogging format makes things less tedious than having to, say, actually go and read somebody's blog. Though I'm really glad they increased the character limit from 140 to 280 a bunch of years ago, 140 wasn't really enough. 280 often isn't enough, either, but hey, that's the price you pay for the overall benefits of microblogging. Of course, Elon had to go and compromise the whole purpose of the site by allowing people to make long tweets if they pay for a subscription, and even worse, for some reason they made it so that you don't get notified if someone replies to you in a long tweet (I'm glad I randomly happened to find that out before I bought a subscription and started replying to people with long tweets), but still, long tweets seem not to be the norm. - What is your favourite website and why is it Facebook? It's simple. Facebook is the new MySpace, and I loved MySpace, although Facebook isn't as good (despite being way bigger and more sophisticated). And also, Facebook is *the* way for me to keep connected to relatives and some of my friends. And you can find everything you could possibly want on there just by joining the appropriate groups. I'm probably in a dozen or so philosophy groups, and also the Dilbert croup and the Calvin and Hobbes group, and a few other entertaining groups such as Language Nerds. I honesty don't get why everybody hates Facebook so much. I mean, I guess it's supposed to be because a lot of old fogies use it and use it to post and repost their conspiracy theories and misinformation, but I just haven't seen a lot of that. The stupidest thing I've seen on there is viral reposts, like "reply to this and copy this to your wall to see who your real friends are" or "copy this post and Bill Gates will donate $1 to starving kids in Nigeria", and even those I haven't really seen recently, especially the not the latter. I guess there probably are also a lot more religious people on Facebook than Twitter. - What is your favourite website and why is it YouTube? Every video ever made and its brother is on YouTube, except for full TV show episodes and movies (and even many of those you can now stream for a price on YouTube), oh and also except for pr0n. This is especially useful given yt-dlp for collecting music. Most songs I ever want are on YouTube, and what's not I can usually get on Soulseek. I follow a lot of cool accounts on YouTube, but I can hardly ever be arsed to actually check up on their new vids; for the most part I just follow links from IRC and other places to specific YouTube videos. I also don't use the feature to autoplay the next suggested video, because I primarily use YouTube for music, and most music sucks. If it's not already in my collection or in one of a few specific genres, it probably sucks. I also love having my playlist of favorite songs on YouTube for others to hear, though it does have a few disadvantages. (1) Videos get taken down or made private without any warning or placeholder in the list, so my playlist requires constant upkeep and is often missing crucial songs, which to me is like missing teeth. [RecoverMy.Video](http://recovermy.video) is great for this, but it's still a pain in the ass. (2) I can't include comments on the videos in my list to explain why I like them or whatever. And (3) If I want a song that's not on YouTube in my playlist, I have to upload it to YouTube myself, thereby risking getting my account deleted if I get too many copyright strikes. I haven't gotten any yet, but I haven't uploaded many. One of my uploads was detected to already belong to someone, but instead of taking it down they merely monetized it for them. Another of my uploads was deleted simply because the name of the song was "Adrenochrome", even though the song doesn't have any words. It was deleted on the grounds of spreading harmful conspiracy theories. I appealed, and they decided again that it was a conspiracy theory. =P And now that's a permanent strike on my record, I think one more and I get my account deleted or something. These 3 reasons are why I decided to make my own playlist of favorite songs, hosted on a server I pay for, at [inhahe.com/playlist](http://inhahe.com/playlist). One other sucky thing about YouTube is the ads. I mean they just keep getting more and more ridiculous. More ads before each video, and longer times you have to watch. Are they seeing how far they can push it before they lose too many viewers, or what? I guess this is the problem with monopolies. Not that *I* have this problem with YouTube ads, I've never gotten them, I guess because I've always used uBlock Origin. I heard some people saying YouTube updated their site so that even uBlock Origin doesn't work anymore, but I never had that problem. I guess, though, it was because by that time I'd already started paying for YouTube Premium. I only pay for it because I had read and verified that high-bitrate audio is only available for YouTube Premium, and I happen to be an audiophile. But oddly, when I use yt-dlp and then check the resultant .opus file, I see that its audio bitrate is 128Kbps or 258Kbps or whatever it is you're not supposed to get without YouTube Premium, and how would YouTube know that it's me downloading with the yt-dlp client without a login cookie? I have passed yt-dlp my YouTube cookie just to see what happens, and it makes no difference. So I'm not sure (a) if I should continue paying for YouTube Premium, or (b) if I'm getting the highest quality .opus files from YouTube I can get.

f00fc7c8:
I'm impressed, you went into depth on some of these. I've always found Notepad way too barebones. Nearly all of the standard Linux text editors, even the really minimalistic ones like GNOME Text Editor and Mousepad, support line wrapping, syntax highlighting (for code), color schemes, different encodings and line endings... all sorts of things Notepad doesn't support. Or at least didn't until Windows 11, which did a lot to bring it and some other aging Windows tools into the modern age.

Oh, update: I think I just came across Jacqueline's account (I said in the questionnaire that her name is Jacqueline but that I didn't know her handle), I think it's @Surprise (AnayaOhno).

Shannon:
Are you happy with your weight?

ColorStorm:
No, I have a lot of extra pounds. Because I eat and drink sodas out of boredom. Or sometimes I eat just because it's dinner time even though I literally slept all day and night so I don't actually need food. I used to be pretty slim for like, the first half of my life, because I ate like a bird (I only ate when I was hungry and then the minimum I needed to eat to not be hungry anymore), but then I realized that there was no way I was actually getting a girlfriend and becoming happy like I had been trying to online for all those years which was what was keeping me distracted, and also hopeful. So, without the distractions/drive or the hope, I started to eat out of boredom.

ColorStorm:
Some of these are must-have in general, some are only must-have for me. I'm leaving some out that everybody already knows about. ditto - open-source Windows clipboard manager Easyjoin Pro - send messages, files, directories, etc. from one computer/phone to another on the network. Was free when I first started using it, seems to be pay-only now. Netlimiter - full-featured internet bandwidth limiter, helps because on our network if any one computer is uploading (or, I think, downloading) at full capacity then all the other computers' internet gets slowed down Microsoft Phone Link - lets me send and receive texts (and use phone apps, which I never do) from my computer, it's free Winamp with plugin for playing Opus and AMIP plugin for announcing songs on mIRC, free VLC Media Player, plays everything, has lots of features like select aspect ratio or play a certain section of a video on repeat, free FileZilla, free FTP client. I used to use BulletProof FTP, which I paid for, which is better at making sure the transfers actually complete, but it doesn't seem to work anymore Nicotine+/SoulSeek, free file sharing app, I use it to get music in .flac format or to get music that isn't available on YouTube ImDisk - free RAM drive HTTrack - download websites, free Movavi - video editor I paid for. I got it back when it was a one-time purchase, now it's per year, will never upgrade. thumbsup - free Linux program to make web galleries of images and videos with one command, works with subdirectories There's a program I have for linux that labels all the photos in a directory including subdirectories with AI and lets you search through them, but I forgot what it's called. Limnoria - Python IRC bot WSL2 - Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Photoshop Word Chrome Visual Studio VirtualBox VMWare Code42 Crashplan - backup service IDrive - backup service SyncBackPro - I use it to backup to Google Cloud Backup4all - schedule backups to drives, full-featured for mobile: AndroIRC SoundHound, Shazam, Sound Search - identify the song that's playing Words 2 - Play Scrabble online Upwords - word game kind of like scrabble but each letter is worth one point and you can stack letters on top of other letters and you get the number of points of how high each stack is in your word(s) ColorNote Fluid WebDAV Server - for when transferring files over USB doesn't work Calculator Thunderstorm animated wallpaper and lock screen

fizzyarthur:
Why have two virtualization apps at the same time? VMware player is superior.

ColorStorm:
I've had problems with it. I think it wouldn't run MacOS or something, I forget exactly, and then it stopped working altogether, like Linux kept crashing in it or something - I think it's a problem with it not working well with Hyper-V or whatever, which I have to have enabled because I use WSL.

Also I think I've had problems getting VM-tools to work correctly - clipboard sharing, etc.

On a scale from 1 to 10 (one being passionately disagree, ten being passionately agree), how do you feeling about the statement: 'You will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory'

ColorStorm:
No, not true at all. We often know the value of moments while they're happening. Just because we often don't realize it until it "becomes a memory" doesn't mean we should draw absolutes from it.

To paraphrase, it can only be a memory if it was valuable in the first place?

Do you use mobile Retrospring or PC Retrospring more? Which one do you prefer?

ColorStorm:
I usually use it on my desktop or laptop. When I'm out sometimes I might use it on my phone--the website, I don't even have the app installed or know what it's like, I've never used it.

doki:
Same here. Using my phone rn, and I'm using the website too. Tbh forgot there was an app to begin with

f00fc7c8:
Is there an app? Or just a PWA? The Retrospring page on GitHub [has a repo for a mobile app](https://github.com/Retrospring/retrospring-android), but it has a total of 4 commits, all from 2015, and was archived in 2019.

f00fc7c8:
Nor can I find the app on Google Play or F-Droid.

ColorStorm:
I thought I had just found out the other day that there was an app, I must have seen somebody mention it somehow, but maybe I was wrong.

f00fc7c8:
You can definitely install Retrospring as a PWA, but that's just running it in a stripped-down browser with notifications on.

i'm hungry. what food do you feed me?

ColorStorm:
If it has to be from stuff we have around the house, it'll either be a garlic buttery crust pepperoni pizza Hot Pocket, or my signature dish, 8 oz spaghetti with one jar of spaghetti sauce and one jar of Classico pesto, depending on how much I like you. If we can go to grocery store (I'm *not* driving), I'll get you a spinach wrap with Boar's Head sliced turkey, mustard, tomatoes, spinach leaves, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, pickles, black olives, mushrooms, cucumbers, green peppers and deli sauce, or take out and add ingredients to suit your taste, but either way you *have* to have a lot of vegetables. Experts say that eating an adequate amount of vegetables eliminates 90% of health issues. Yet most people seem to opt for the pills they'll inevitably have take otherwise, with all their side effects up to and including death, and the pills you take for those side effects, and the side effects those pills have, etc., and/or the surgeries they may leave them in medical bankruptcy...

Shannon:
What's your opinion on having to pay to use the toilet?

ColorStorm:
It's a tricky situation. On one hand, you can't help but have to use a bathroom sometimes when you're out, and it sucks that you'd have to pay for that, especially since you might not have any change, and then what would you do? And it just seems kind of vulgar/low-class to make people pay to use your toilet. But on the other hand, having a public toilet requires maintenance costs... people can be filthy, so the bathrooms have to be constantly cleaned, among other costs, so it kind of makes sense to change for it, though IMO it makes less sense to charge actual patrons of your business, but I guess it's hard to distinguish who's a patron and who's not..

Andy:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (one being passionately disagree, ten being passionately agree), how do you feeling about the statement: 'Love is most comfortable when it goes one way'.

ColorStorm:
Yes, it's true but it suffers from the common issue of using the term "love" to refer specifically to romantic relationships, which is a sad commentary on how much real love of people for each other is lacking in society. And romantic relationships are about the fakest love there is. It's mainly just an emotional "business" exchange. It's transactional. And that's exactly why the statement is true that romantic love is .... oh, I had misread the statement. I thought it said most *uncomfortable*. So, now I'm not sure what the statement means or which kind of "love" they're talking about. But no, love is definitely not most comfortable when it goes one way either way.

Andy:
Its a statement I've heard from a few people, I think the meaning of it is that love can be scary (feelings committed, expectations, risk of loss), so when you get love from someone without returning it, its comfortable because of the ratio between balance and risk... basically its the argument why people put up with stalkers or other uncomfortable dynamics.

I hope it worked. And it's not particularly immoral/unethical, imo. Playing some music never killed anyone, and I'm assuming it was perfectly legal, and it was supposedly for a good cause.

[2025-01-14]

Andy:
On a scale from 1 to 10 (one being passionately disagree, ten being passionately agree), how do you feeling about the statement: 'People are only as faithful as their options'

ColorStorm:
I don't understand the statement. Does "faithful" there refer to romantic relationship "fidelity"? And what are the options in this case? Does it mean that if they have good options for people to cheat with, they will cheat? If so, no, that's a cynical and just wrong statement. Many people wouldn't cheat. Or does it mean somebody wouldn't stay with their partner if somebody better comes along? That's more true, I guess, but still not even close to being categorically true. And, btw, I think it's generally more true for females than for males. Females see their men as interchangeable appendages, and they will "upgrade" to a better model with a better checklist of generic qualities if given the chance.

Andy:
When I hear this expression it does tend to be with a sexual or romantic context. Implying that when presented with more choice and potentially better options, its in the human spirit to improve ones sexual / romantic standing... however, I don't know many people who have all of those options available to them so its hard to confirm.

Kate:
I did watch a movie with a person hunting down a suspect. It took a day and a night. And none of the persons needed to sleep, eat, pee or rest. The description rates the movie as "ultra-realistic". Am I too demanding?

ColorStorm:
Well, presumably the movie wasn't a day and a night long, so they must've skipped ahead in time a lot...maybe the sleeping, eating, peeing and resting parts were just conveniently among the times they skipped past? :P

Kate:
Sure, they skipped also dusk and dawn and therefore we only have the word of the script for it to have happened during a day and night, also that many other things only existed in the script. The people shot didn't really die and the car crashes also were fake. So why do they smash sugar windows and use ketchup as blood when we know it is fake? ;-) We simply want the plot and story to be a bit consistent so it is a bit more easy to believe it.

Kate:
The minimal requirement is not to obviously break the reality checks on a basic level I think. Think of old cowboy western movies, they ride for days through a desert half starved and their shirt is well ironed and dust free. Later they at least smeared a bit of cosmetic dirt into faces. :-)

fizzyarthur:
How to gather enough courage to ride a bicycle in urban environments when I'm far from being a good pedestrian?

ColorStorm:
Idk, what if what's keeping you from riding a bike--be it fear, anxiety, caution, or whatever--is actually reasonable? I mean, if you're not good at it, maybe you shouldn't be riding one in a city because it could be dangerous? And, on the other hand, if your fear, anxiety or caution *isn't* reasonable, then why don't you just win by telling yourself that? I don't know about you, but I can *easily* override instinctual fear of doing something when I know there's no actual danger posed. Well, unless you count social anxiety. But then, you could perhaps count the negative mental states of intense embarrassment, anxiety, stress, panic, etc. induced by various social interactions as "actual dangers." But anyway, I'm thinking more about things like the fear of heights (in a place where it would actually be hard to fall), or the natural fear of touching a spider (when the spider is known to be non-venomous), etc. I'd say bungee jumping, too, but I guess everybody can do that. =P

Kate:
Have a flat tire on my bicycle so I took the bus. Sat down and instantly felt the warmth of the person sitting there before. Stood up and took the seat nearby. Why ? You?

ColorStorm:
I have a strong suspicion that heat/temperature isn't just the linear value that scientists treat it as and that we hence tend to think of it as, that is, that heat actually has information in it beyond just a bunch of meaningless/random chaos. This seems to be evidenced by the fact that hot water actually freezes faster than cooler water. Also, I seem to sense different energies in different sources of heat and cold. For example, air that's hot from the sun doesn't make me drowsy like air that's hot from a heater does. And air that's cold from air conditioning seems "sickly" in some way, unlike air that's naturally cold. I also suspect that heat transference is the medium for a lot of psychic apprehension of others...empathy and telepathy. So, sitting on a seat left warm from another might actually be a very intimate experience, and we may not want to be that intimate with strangers...

Kate:
Correct answer! You may now sit down! .. sorry could not resist the pun. :-)

ColorStorm:
"∞ To feel directly the delicate, impossible, precious beauty of another living being. The nobility of the soul. To sense this, directly. In an animal. Or a place. A tree or flower. To understand that this moment is older than all of time. To see the truth of the incredibly brevity ... and courage... of life. To hold the soul of another in the palm of your heart’s hand, and know its heat, its weight, its living pulse." - https://www.facebook.com/darinstevenson/

qotd, who is your favorite person / character, and why ? feel free to ramble as much as you'd like ^_<

ColorStorm:
[Sorry for posting this again, I found a bunch of errors and other shortcomings with the text and had to fix and improve them.] ----------- Hmm, hard to choose who my favorite person is, I'd say either Albert Einstein, because of his penetrating mind, imagination and intuition, resulting in his multiple brilliant revolutionalizations of physics, and because I closely relate to his character, including the traits I just mentioned, the fact that he would often get lost just on his way to work, his critique of capitalism, his mystical view of the cosmos, and his long, disheveled hair. The kids in my junior high class called me Albert Einstein, my cousin once removed (a girl, then about 7 years old) once called me Albert Einstein when I expressed a latent side of me from deep within that I'd never expressed before (it wasn't a brainiac type thing), my friend who used to be psychic once told me I was Albert Einstein in my past life, another spiritually connected friend said she compared my and Einstein's energies and they matched (and she's not particularly a people pleaser so wouldn't have said that willy nilly), and my middle name is Albert. I wouldn't have to consider anyone else for my favorite person if not for the fact that he apparently wasn't very good to his 2 wives. John von Neumann, because he was so smart it was literally scary William James Sidis, because he had the highest IQ of anyone by far, estimated to be about 250, or according to this one source I just read, between 250 and 300. The statistical likelihood, based on the Gaussian distribution of IQ, of one person out of 7 billion people having an IQ of 250 is apparently .0000000000000359. His IQ was higher than anybody else's by far. All the other smartest of the smartest people in the world tend to be limited to just below the 200 mark. My mom. She's been my best friend, the cheeriest person I know, she occasionally embodies the most divine joy of anyone I've seen, she's the person I relate to most, and she's the person who loves me most my whole life. She's actually my favorite person, but I didn't put her at the top because I took this question to mean public names. Darin "Stevenson" - http://facebook.com/darinstevenson ; https://organelle.medium.com/ - he has a handle on what real life is and how our modern mode of thinking deviates from it, is blind to it and destroys it, that I really don't think anybody else in the world is even close to having. He is invaluable to the human condition, and he's also relatively good at expressing these ideas in writing. He once claimed that he has the "bicameral mind," and I thought it was just his ego speaking until I talked to him on the phone and I realized that he really does. It's a shame few people seem to really be able to appreciate what he's onto, and I'm one of them, maybe the only one. The only reason I joined Darin's IRC channel initially after seeing him talk a little was because I thought he was a girl based on his writing style, so that's basically why I got to know him. Neale Donald Walsch - if any media I've ever come across has had the power to actually change my life, it's his books. In his books he claims to be channeling God Him/Herself, and I genuinely believe he is. It's his books that convinced me that there is a God and that He/She is intelligent. I'm very good at perceiving the most subtle weaknesses in all levels of human expression, from grammar to word choice to intentionality to energy, and God's parts of the dialogue are so flawless and pure that they couldn't possibly have been created by a mere human. And in the books God gives us guidelines for how to live well while revealing the most fundamental truths of Nature, and the books said some things that I'd always thought but had never heard anyone else say. I actually dropped a tear on one of the pages the first time I read it. Miranda Cosgrove - my biggest crush. Her face is so perfect, and I used to watch iCarly and be in awe at the manner of her self-expression, it was like she was an emotional genius and also she actually lived somewhere in my heart, like we're two peas in a pod. And her personality is pure and her smile has more true joy in it than almost anyone's. Miranda Cosgrove and my father share a birthday. Or my longtime friend Kyla, AKA idali - She's truly amazing, and I don't think I've ever met a more kindred spirit and mind than her. Her mode of creativity was always so directly striking to me that witnessing her was kind of like getting abducted into a higher mind, her energy felt just like mine, only her ability to express it was more like what I wished I were, she indicated psychic sensitivity on many occasions, but not in the "I'm gonna give you a reading" sense, it was more just revealed in her whimsical expressions that made no excuses for not necessarily being connected to anything. Nowadays we're just friends, but back in the day I was utterly infatuated with her. The lyrics to [Lamb - Gorecki](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Ma-VR3Gl8) seemed perfectly fitting: > I've found the one I've waited for > All this time I've loved you > And never known your face > All this time I've missed you > And searched this human race Everyone who wasn't idali just seemed to be shadows of her to greater or lesser degrees. I guess it sounds like I have/had borderline personality disorder, but really it's just the power of witnessing something so close and real. A friend of hers I once talked to, who had truly impressed me with his ability to remain mentally stationed within the realm of our higher selves, told me that idali was an apotheosis. Here's a random event that may or may not be related: One time she asked me if I ever took anything she says to be sarcastic. I said that sarcasm has a certain energy to it that I didn't associate with her. She said, "Odd, isn't it?" I once wrote this about her: > **Corpus Christi** > Have you ever met the culmination of your dreams.. that one person that exactly meets, and exceeds, your greatest expectations for all the people you've ever met or imagined, combined? You'd never have even known there was a common thread to it all, if they weren't right there in the flesh. And it's not even so much that they _exceed_ your expectations, as that not in your wildest dreams had you ever thought such a manifestation is actually possible in this world. It's like dreaming you can fly, but while keeping both feet firmly on the ground.. and then just finding yourself in the air one day. They're a perfect reflection of you, to the essence. They're everything you ever wanted to be, there _before_ you. Like God himself is always so unattainable, but yet this person is exactly One Step between God and your heart.. and somehow she thinks _you_ bring _her_ closer to God? They are to you what a supernova could have been to its former star. It could almost seem to be another crescendo in infatuation except.. you know that nobody else will ever compare. Nobody ever has and nobody ever will. She's exceptional somehow. She's _Real_. Some other humans have been real, but by virtue of being merely humans, are not _as real_ as she. The whole phenomenon is amazing. Her eyes even look suspiciously similar to yours.. But the only the remaining question is, will _she_ ever recognize _you_? The answer, my friend, is...a piece of wax fallin' on a termite who's chokin on the splinters. It's the Rube Goldberg machine where you're the mouse trapped in the end and it's The Devil who's always been at the beginning. All you have is an e-mail address, and she only responds once every 2 months.. Oh well, you conclude, there's always the afterlife.. I call this sort of experience "an idali." Has that ever happened to you? Oh, and when I first met her she was using the handle ||||||||, which I thought was awesome (and something I would probably do), so I talked to her in private a little. She said at one point, "You are neat.", so it felt like a success. Years later I saw her again under the handle idali, and she had a completely different personality, yet somehow I knew immediately that it was her. I asked her what made her change, and she mentioned that friend I talked about earlier who's mentally stationed in the realm of the higher self and told me she's an apotheosis, and four songs (I'm probably remembering this wrong). Two of them were [Black Tape for a Blue Girl - The Apotheosis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O8gyng1Lhk) and [Lvx Nova - A Lake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgGDPcT7S18). She's different nowadays, but she seems partially enlightened: she can see through to the unity of all beings, places and times, she fiercely loves everyone, and she's well-grounded in/at one with the origin and creation of all concepts. Björk - This list is getting too long, soon I'll be listing all my crushes ever, but I'll try to include just this one more. Early '90s Björk was so ridiculously cute and had such an adorable personality (see [don't let poets lie to you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5LiHj2UGgA) and [Human Behavior](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0mRIhK9seg)), in addition to being one of the most talented artists of her time, that it makes me wonder once again why the universe would keep producing girls that perfectly fit all of my qualifications for the most intense desire. And also, if they're such perfect matches for me, why am I likely nothing like what they'd be looking for in a man. Oh, and there's also my best friend and kindred spirit Arlen AKA ki. I've known him for 24 years. I first saw him in a philosophy IRC channel going "hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe", which made me want to get to know him better, so I followed him into his own channel. He was very pure and creative, like a child, only more so, and he made some good, hilarious, short, self-satirizing poems. He's in the top 0.01 percentile for physical height. All the girls loved him. I clearly see myself in his emotional/mental dispositions often (more so in the past than now, but still now to some degree). Not long after I met him, something happened to him which made him swear off everything spiritual forever and also ended up slowly making him more and more mental. Nowadays he's quite insane, is on a ton of medications, and finds it difficult to manage. The various old, new, and repeating delusions he constantly talks about and expects me to believe kind of irritate me, but I just take it in stride. He often apologizes for being so delusional, says he loves me, or thanks me for being his friend. He offers me money, like $100, for Christmas and my birthday even though he can't even afford food half the time and frequently smokes cigarette butts off the ground. He used to be acutely psychically sensitive, demonstrating his sensitivity on multiple occasions by reacting to something I had thought or saying something that was going on with me that he couldn't have known by any "normal" means. Oh, speaking of that, Darin did that with me once, too. I had recently started a project, which I rarely ever do, and probably hadn't done yet as long as I'd known him, without saying anything about it online, and he asked me out of the blue to tell him about my new project. So, regarding his deep understanding of the nature of life and his writings about it, his money is obviously where his mouth is. ----------- For characters, I'm not sure, I have a few characters I like, I listed them here https://retrospring.net/@voice/q/112265501360714634, but I guess I'd say the most perfect one is Leeloo Minai Lekarariba-Laminai-Tchai Ekbat De Sebat from The Fifth Element. When I watched that movie it seemed like the writers (and I guess Milla Jovovich too) had some unique insight into exactly what I would find most attractive in a girl, and took advantage of that in making the film. I was truly surprised. Once I read some lady saying that they made her childish in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator of men, and that kind of felt like a potential bitter pill, but whatever, screw that lady, it's more than that. ;P

LaDamaX:
inhahe… I’ve been curious about your relationship with your parents for some time now. In the past you’ve mentioned that you dislike your parents and ( I believe) you have expressed contempt for your mother but here you say that she is your best friend. I’m confused. Which is it? Or is it both? I understand that relationships are complex but those feelings seem to be extreme. No judgement. Simply curious.

ColorStorm:
Hmm, I don't remember saying that I dislike my parents or that I have contempt for my mother. Well, there are some things about her that often frustrate me, but overall I love her. And I don't dislike my dad at all. I wonder if you were confusing how I feel now with how I *used* to feel about my parents when I was growing up. My parents were horrible to me, and I absolutely loathed and feared my dad. Both my parents are nice now, and I get along with them fine.

I just went into a restaurant that charges per weight and they weighed mine at more than 1.5 pounds. My stomach cannot handle 1 pound, so I'm pretty sure the scale was rigged. What would you do if that happened to you and you already paid for it?

ColorStorm:
Maybe the restaurant was counting the pre-cooked weight and you're counting the cooked weight? Like I know when you order, e.g., a 1-lb steak from a restaurant that steak isn't going to actually weigh 1 lb... maybe 2/3 or 1/2 that...

It was a self service restaurant, the food was already cooked.

Shannon:
Do you believe in true love?

ColorStorm:
I'm not really sure what it means. Like regular love, only more intense or deeper and without any of the downsides? I.e., just the regular love, but way more ideal? I guess if true love is when two people truly cherish one another and rarely if ever get into fights, then yes, true love really exists. It's just that most people aren't mature enough for it and/or they get into relationships for all the wrong reasons. The fact that most relationships end in bitter breakups with both parties hating each other and never talking again is *proof* that most people's approach to/reason for relationships is wrong.

History time: John Locke, the inventor of liberalism and freedom, was a shareholder of a big slave trading company. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I'm sure it's common for people's stock investments not to totally reflect their moral values. You're just trying to make a buck, such things are regarded on a merely functionalistic level, and your measly 1200 or whatever shares will never made a large difference toward the activities of the company. In fact, they'll never make any difference at all, since your owning that stock doesn't give the company itself any new money. The only difference it could make is via your shareholder's voting rights, and that could only have only worked toward Locke's values, as it means more power for him to make the company do--or not do--what he wanted. Or: Maybe early liberalism only cared about freedom for *white* people? Similarly to how I heard that Steven Pinker is a utilitarian who is anti-vegan and pro animal exploitation, presumably because he doesn't believe animal happiness and suffering count toward the overall level of collective good. Also similarly to how right in the constitution it said "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," yet somehow that wasn't considered to apply to black people.

Do you know latin?

ColorStorm:
No, but it would be cool if I did. I tried studying the language before, but the many cascading tables of tense, person, part of speech, gender, plurality, conjugations and declensions, or whatever were way too much for me to try to memorize. I thought about learning Latin Sine Flexione instead, but it felt too much like playing in the special Olympics. Some Latin phrases I know are E pluribus unum - Out of many, one Ex contradictione quodlibet - From a contradiction, anything follows Ex post facto - I don't remember - after the fact? De facto - in reality as opposed to technically, or something like that Ad hoc - Made up for the situation A priori - like a prior or first principle, an idea that comes first Post hoc ergo propter hoc - After, therefore because of - the fallacy that B happened after A therefore A caused B Pro bono - for free, I think? regarding legal services Anno domini - the year of our Lord Ad hominem - to the person - the fallacy of attacking the person's character rather than the idea Ad infinitum - and so on and so on infinitely Et cetera - and others Et alia - and others Argumentum ad absurdum - to prove an idea wrong by showing that it leads to an absurdity Quand est providi - QED - thus it is proven Salve - hello, goodbye I know more but I can't think of them atm.

f00fc7c8:
K-pop originated in South Korea, as did most of the recent cultural exports we associate with Korea; North Korea is an authoritarian and isolationist state, so not much reaches the US and Europe from there.

I'd pick Super Smash Bros. because it contains so many different characters from different games, so it would be cool to see them interact with each other, for the same reasons I (and other people) like watching crossover TV show episodes. It would be the ultimate crossover.

Are there a lot of neurodivergent people on RS? (I'm one of them, if that's encouraging!) XD

ColorStorm:
It seems there are, but I'm not really sure since neurodivergence is becoming a lot more popular in general.

BobOmbMonkey:
Oh is it? I think it's just that the terminology is newer and more people are getting diagnosed - that's probably why. :)

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I was thinking that's probably a big factor, but I feel like the underlying actual neurological/psychological divergence is also increasing.

BobOmbMonkey:
That could be...I'm not sure why that's the case. Maybe it has to do with medication and genetics.

ColorStorm:
Could be pollutants and other artificial ingredients in our everyday products and foods. For one, I actually think vaccines are a large factor in the increase in autism, and there are a few good reasons to believe this, which I don't feel like getting into. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist in general, but all those studies saying there's no link between autism and vaccines were funded by the CDC, and the CDC can't afford to admit its colossal mistake because nobody would ever trust the government again

ColorStorm:
It's a well-known problem in science that results are easily fudged/manipulated and very frequently are, in order to serve the scientists' agendas/incentives.

dollkin:
QOTD! whats your weirdest interest? mine is prob disasters... they've always been a consistent interest in my life for some reason 😭 plane disasters, ship disasters, caving, u name it...

ColorStorm:
I guess my most obscure interest is the physics and neurology of color vision. I also often watch a show about engineering catastrophes. Actually, I should say it's an uncommon interest rather than an "obscure" one, since color vision is one of the most prominent aspects of our daily lives every moment and has been forever, yet nobody really cares to learn even the basics of what it does. And I think it *should be* intriguing how exactly we see color, because color is relatively simple compared to the actual spectral distributions of light (possible color space is three-dimensional (intensities of red, green, and blue, with a total of about 10,000,000 differentiable colors), while the space of possible spectral distributions is virtually infinite-dimensional, since there's an unlimited number of frequencies with specific intensities), so we're obviously being "misled" when we look at objects, and also, the very phenomenon of the "qualia," or subjective "feel" of various colors, is intriguing, and it presumably has nothing to do with the objective nature of the light you're seeing, it's completely gratuitous.

rainbowpink:
:O fascinating!! i learned that mantis shrimp can see 8 more colors than we can (i think it was 8 anyway!) and i wanna know how the mantis shrimp sees the world

rainbowpink:
i like to imagine that the ones living in aquariums are judging everyone’s outfits as they pass by like “that color combination? girl please” x3c

ColorStorm:
I'd always heard that shrimps could see in more primary colors too (I'd heard 12), but then I read that that was a misconception. They had assumed that mantis shrimp light receptors work more or less the same way ours do when they came to that conclusion, and apparently they were wrong.

ColorStorm:
But tetrachromacy in humans (rare women who can see in 4 primary colors) is still really interesting. I once read a story by a tetrachromat who made her own camera to capture the extra colors, and once chased a person down the street because he had such beautiful cyan and gold hair

ColorStorm:
I guess I mean her own film, not her own camera.

ColorStorm:
er, i meant mantis shrimps in the above, not just shrimps.

ColorStorm:
I mean I don't think the hair had cyan parts and gold parts, it was literally a cyan and gold color, which I don't think would be possible for a normal human to see. It would just look like something more greenish than cyan, I guess.

ColorStorm:
(Since gold is essentially reflective yellow, and cyan is can be expressed as blue plus green, and green can be expressed as blue plus yellow)

rainbowpink:
that is fascinating!!!!

I just realized I didn't answer your second question. We call it dinner, but I'm not sure if supper is common or not. I rarely hear it, but I don't really talk to people except on the internet which is international. My grandma called it supper, but that's probably because it's an old-timey thing.

Kate:
Mums to daughters: Do not get pregnant! When you get pregnant your life is over! You can become a slut! Pay attention! Here are condoms, here are pills, here's a book to read! Stay away! Do not have sex! Do not get pregnant! You are prey! Stay away! - Society: Mums and family are the firm building blocks of society! But pregnant girls are sluts! - WTF?

ColorStorm:
It doesn't make sense to me. Why would someone think that being pregnant would turn a girl into a slut? And I've never heard of that. I mean, I could *maybe* see "if you get pregnant, you're a slut" because it means they *had* sex already, but not "when you get pregnant [...] you can become a slut"! Where's the possible rational connection there? But as far as the contradiction goes, maybe the moms are only talking to *young* daughters that they don't want to get pregnant, while society is talking to slightly *older* women?

Kate:
Thing is the double standard. "Family is the building block of society" and society does slut-shame you when you get pregnant as a single mum. "Family" is when society says it is one, not when you say so. Those building blocks are only building blocks if they are confirmed and rule abiding.

Kate:
Which means that basically it is a lie. Society doesn't care about family. All it cares about is conformistic persons and the construct of "family" is but a cage meant to make you conform, to coin people to make them rule abiding. You can say so because children that exist outside the cage are worth nothing and so are their mums. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I was thinking that maybe it's not a double standard because maybe the girls moms threaten will become sluts if they get pregnant are younger than the women society is saying should get pregnant to build families. But then you said the slut shaming applies to single moms, too, so IDK. As for the "family" being merely a tool for making people conform, possible, but it seems just as likely to me if not more likely that the culture is just conservative and intrinsically values "family" but since they also

ColorStorm:
have strict moralistic values (due to being conservative), they naturally apply those values to what they accept as a valid "family." And it may be that the reason moms and children outside the cage are "worth nothing" is that they don't accord with said moralistic values by virtue of not being parts of "families" as defined by their strict moralism, rather than because society just wants control and conformism for control and conformism's sake.

No, seeing water and wanting to swim in it isn't particularly genius. It's just a little nonstandard in his case, taking a dip in the middle of motorcycling without taking off his shoes or his helmet or anything. At least he can think outside the box. Though I'm not sure how he'll like his shoes being soaked for hours. It's funny he didn't have a cell phone or anything he had to remove. Maybe he had it all in his bags. It seems kind of strange for that pool to be there in the middle of nowhere for anybody to swim in. I wonder what kind of establishment it belonged to. A hotel? Or maybe things are different in whatever country that is.

It was a pool store. They had pools being shown in case a client wanted to buy one.

ColorStorm:
I'd rather have a conversation with my past self because then I could tell myself to take advantage of certain opportunities that I was too afraid to act on and that I would never get again. And my future self doesn't need to have a conversation with me because he can simply remember.

Is it worth to pay a lawyer more than you'd earn (or get refunded, in my case) if you win the case?

no but if you're really stuck on sticking it to them out of principle then maybe..

it could be justified on the grounds that they might learn a lesson, and maybe someone else won't get slighted

BidenLadysMan:
Mark Hamill came out to help get people to vote for Biden in Florida. Ugh, that broke my heart tbh. On a separate but related notes. Do you think it's a good idea for celebrities to alienate their audience by picking a political side?

ColorStorm:
Yes, if they pick the right side (i.e., Democrat). Alienating some proportion of their audience isn't as important as having the right government.

BidenLadysMan:
Hmm, do you think they influence people? In Mark's case. He's a Democrat. If a fan of his was already a Democrat then did he really convince that fan of anything?. Same is true for the right side. Politics is so much deeper than a fandom for many people..

ColorStorm:
idk, i heard that Taylor Swift could actually sway the election. I guess it depends on how popular the celebrity is, or actually on how many celebrities do it and how much they agree on a side. I guess there are enough undecideds or people who aren't staunchly committed to one side or the other. Also the celebrity/celebrities could merely encourage people to vote who wouldn't have voted.

BidenLadysMan:
I would be more ok with them telling people to get out and vote than telling them who to vote for. No one is qualified to tell you who to vote for really. Incidentally Taylor Swift didn't throw her support behind Biden definitively like she did last time. And Dwayne The Rock Johnson came right out and said he wouldn't support Biden again. That's what happens when politicians rely too heavily on celebrities. They get cold feet way faster than the rest of us.

Had today a sip of matcha-latte. Now that makes me question peoples taste. How could that beverage conquer the cafés and the customers when it is a green nuisance? Any ideas?

ColorStorm:
I don't know how the matcha latte tastes, but I get a matcha frappuccino (frozen beverage) every time I go to Starbucks, I love it. I started years ago when I saw some guy carrying a green frappuccino at Starbucks and I thought it looked good so I asked him what it was.

Kate:
Interesting. How would you describe the taste? For me it's the vast nothingness of empty space. Maybe my tasting buds are defective.

ColorStorm:
I don't know how to explain. Sometimes it reminds me of algae a bit. And it's sweet, since they add a lot of sugar.

So green algae sugar ... that explains a lot ....

Should we split TV news shows by sad and happy news? As if we had one sad news show with sad music and a happy news show with happy music?

ColorStorm:
That would probably be better, when you mix it all up into a jumble I guess it must have some kind of numbing/desensitizing effect. Also the news should much less tragedy and more joyful stuff, which we all know (and it's possible that separating it in the way you describe would encourage that). The news has disproportionately tragic stuff because it's attention-getting.

Security question: I've finally upgraded my password storage. Instead of a plain text file, my passwords are now in an unused and practically unencrypted nfc card. Is that a good practice?

ColorStorm:
idk I guess, but most people just use a password manager. Personally I keep most of my passwords in an unencrypted text file, but it has a random name in a directory of 656 files, mostly text files, so nobody well ever find it even if they do break into my data. and also it doesn't include my email address which is my login for almost all my accounts. and I keep the passwords for the websites I actually care about, like twitter et al and things that have my credit card info, written on a sheet of paper hidden away inside a record sleeve in a drawer. but that doesn't mean it's a good security practice, idgaf about standard security

So I put a temperature sensor under the sunlight and after a while it displayed 75°C. Will stoves become irrelevant in the future?

ColorStorm:
With stoves you can heat things up in a more controlled way. It's as hot as you want it when you want it. But besides that, way before the outside temperature ever gets as hot as stoves can get, nearly all life on Earth will be extinct, including humans...so yes, stoves will become irrelevant in that sense. =p

fizzyarthur:
My best phone is not lasting more than 3 hours of screen on time. Should I get a new cheap 5g device, a powerbank, or just charge it on the work computer?

ColorStorm:
Charging it on the work computer would be cheaper and greener than buying a power bank, but computers charge very slowly; it might not even charge as fast as your phone consumes energy. Also, you obviously won't be able to use your phone for more than 3 hours outside of work or somewhere else with a charging port without a power bank, so it depends on whether you'd want to do that. I wouldn't get a whole new phone; you already have a better one, and buying a power bank will be cheaper than even a cheap phone and will allow you to use it for as long as you want.

ColorStorm:
Oh, I didn't realize your phone's battery is going bad.

If you could time travel only once, would you go to the future or past?

ColorStorm:
I'm not sure if you mean a round trip or one way, I guess a round trip would technically be time travelling twice, so you must mean one way. I've always thought of the past in a very romantic light, like 100-200 years ago, and would love to live there, except medical care was very crude and limited back then compared to nowadays, which makes it scary. I'd love to see what the future holds (like 50-5000 years from now) even more than I'd like to visit the past if it were a round trip, but not if it's only one way without knowing what the future will be like ahead of time, especially when in all likelihood it will be much worse, and that's if humanity and/or civilization will even exist at all. Though I could also go to the past to my early childhood and see if I can get myself taken away from my parents before they royally fuck me up for life.

Kate:
I feel a strong disgust watching women wearing cowboy hats in fashion and show biz context. But I love most other gear to be worn on a head. What might be the reason for that?

ColorStorm:
Maybe the large hats make them look top-heavy, reminiscent of egotism (i.e., being "big-headed"). Or maybe you just don't like redneck culture, understandably. I don't know.

Kate:
I thought about it but it seems it is connected to the advertising and movie industry it seems. They created that icon of a woman wearing a cowboy hat indicating that she loves cowboy "bull-riding" hence being a sexually ready, willing and usable toy. Since then that icon has been used and misused overly and has been coined into some slutty meaning for me. It seems. Still wanting more hints.

What’s your favorite operating system

ColorStorm:
Windows 7, 10, or 11. There have been some feature regressions from 7 to 10 and from 10 to 11, unfortunately--I don't know what the heck Microsoft is thinking--but there have also been some additions/improvements with those successive versions, too. So it's hard to choose. But I currently run 11 because it's compatible with the most apps (and I don't think 7 is even supported anymore regarding updates) and has a few important features like the ability to run mobile apps (though I don't actually use that feature because I haven't seen any good apps in the mobile app store ;P) and the search function in the task manager.

I later told my friend about the phrase, and he said it means "signature of the caster," which I remember made sense somehow given the context of the dream. It may not sound particularly biological, but it's Latin, and it sounds cool, and it's unique to me. So that.

But since then I've added another NVMe SSD (a Samsung 980 PRO 2TB with heat sink), 16 more GB of ram, a couple of external drives (a 2TB SSD and a 6TB HDD), an RTX 4090 (that's over $2000), a $100 keyboard, a $300 keyboard, and a mouse with a cool color-gradient-changing LED strip around it. If it counts, I also have a $400 amp connected to a $500 pair of speakers connected solely to the computer. Oh, and a $90 subwoofer that I got for less than $20 at a yard sale.

I just grazed my arm real bad. Ow! When was your last injury? What was it?

ColorStorm:
It depends on what you consider an injury. A few months ago I had to wear a band aid, I don't remember why. Also a couple of months ago I got blisters on my foot from walking too far in the wrong shoes. About a couple of decades ago, I don't remember exactly what year it was, I was in a car accident in which my forehead made a hole in the windshield. I broke a couple of teeth and lacerated an eyelid. And got lots of glass in my face and bled profusely. I pulled one of the pieces out over 10 years later. I still have scars on my forehead. It was one of the only times I ever got into a car without putting my seatbelt on. Before I got in, I thought to myself, "I hope I die" and purposely let the thought penetrate into my subconscious so that it would happen. And no, I wasn't the one who was driving the car. When the nurse was gluing my eyelid together, she accidentally glued my eye shut and had to pull it back open. That freaked me the f-ck out.

I love knowledge, especially knowing more than other people. How about you?

ColorStorm:
I'm not a big fan of detailed knowledge that's not actually that important, deep, or whatever. I actually would rather not have it to save space in my mind. The knowledge I like most is actually more like *understanding*, and then I really just like understanding things in an overview sense. There are a lot of things I understand in overview, I guess mainly surrounding how things work. Though I actually do like reading trivia sometimes (the kind where it's relatively interesting facts) and gaining other sorts of random knowledge where I think it'll actually be good for my general heuristic, holistic understanding of the world. But I rarely remember the facts, I have pretty bad memory. I don't particularly care about knowing more than other people, and I actually kind of dislike when others know more than me, because it makes it seem like I'm less intelligent, when really it's just because they care more about the details.

What is the last dream you remember?

ColorStorm:
Last night I dreamed that someone I knew, I think it was a cousin of mine, came to my window outside my room, then he ... I guess came in? and took some kittens I had in my room to go off somewhere to have some operation done, I think they were going to have something removed. And I think I went on a plane to go to the location with them. Then at the place, there were hundreds of kittens waiting to get the operation. There were two different places the kittens would stay. One was small enclosed kinda dark spaces that individual groups of kittens would stay in separately. Then there was this really large fenced area that all the kittens would stay in at some time of day. I saw kittens just crawling out of the fenced area through the fence holes, and I was alarmed...I asked someone who worked there how many kittens would go missing, never to be returned to their owners. She said thousands. I thought this was tragic, so I tried to get her to tell the higher-ups about this and for them to fix it. I think she did. I think the higher-ups were literally higher up, like they lived in a building above the fenced off area for kittens. The worker I talked to was very pretty, and at times I could see her breasts. I was basically all over her at times, and she didn't mind.

Aesthetics is important for me. When you got an ugly soul don't get closer! Why is this acceptable and why isn't it acceptable when it's an ugly body?

ColorStorm:
People deem it unfair and also superficial when you discriminate based on looks because people have no choice as to how they look.

Kate:
But discrimination based on soul is ....what?

ColorStorm:
I guess people deem that to be okay, because we have the free will to act and create ourselves as we please. But I think it's iffy, because how much free will do we really have? Whatever you choose, there are ultimately reasons. And either way, we're all expressions of the one life source and deserving of love.

Some people are eager to embrace the evil and the ugly with such effort and energy that I do question if those are really expressions of the one life source.

ColorStorm:
Yes and no, I guess. "Evil" = "Live" backwards, and I think it's only made possible by the disconnection, ignorance and low vibrations afforded by living through a physical body. Everything is life, but we're able to render the illusion of its opposite, I think through indirection.

Kate:
Evil=Live is not the same as Evil=Life let alone in another language but I see your point. :-)

ColorStorm:
Yeah, you have to stretch it a bit, but I do honestly think that such linguistic connections are (probably) not completely coincidental and are significant of metaphysical truths. In other languages, you may have other such connections. The thing is that memetics (such as the development of words) works on *every level* of mind because it's not mediated by conscious conceptualization, and on higher levels of mind, we know a lot more about metaphysics and such..

ColorStorm:
I guess this knowledge is especially rendered to the conscious mind in the form of aesthetics, which is the main determiner in which words become popular.

Kate:
Friend of mine lost her pet ferret to cancer. She is devastated. I can relate. Why do her online followers hate her now? Why do they cover her with hate, spite and malicious glee?

ColorStorm:
I can't imagine that (unless there are extenuating circumstances to this). Germany must be a weird place.

Kate:
It's in France but that is beside the point. The haters seem to be mostly from the US.

Kate:
The amount of sick hate people pour in online occasions must be the leftover hate they cannot get rid of in daily life by other means I fear.

Kate:
In science and medicine pigs and humans are very closely related, much more related than meets the eye. So why does this feel like an insult?

ColorStorm:
Pigs are seen as dirty (even though they're really not), I guess because they like to roll around in the mud.

Kate:
Asked a friend who was the handsome man on her photo she posted. Now people assume I'm into men. WTF?

ColorStorm:
Sexual attraction is so ubiquitous and fundamental, and so often uses words like "handsome," "pretty," "gorgeous," etc. to convey itself, that it's a natural assumption to make.

Kate:
Yes you cannot praise something good without people assuming you want it and praise it as an expression of greedy possessive urge. ;-)

Kate:
Friend had her first baby. It's a baby girl. Now relatives and friends want her to post photos from inside the hospital. I'm disgusted. You?

ColorStorm:
I don't get it, why is it disgusting? Like unless they want to see the afterbirth or something... Granted, newborn babies do look pretty disgusting, but you're supposed to overlook that becuase the creation of a new human is such a "beautiful" thing. 🤣

doki:
Well it's from inside the hospital, so maybe from when it was first born? But posting pictures of a child anywhere that isn't private is weird. They did NOT ask for that

Kate:
It was like: Post the baby on Facebook. Same people being concerned about pedophile crimes.

ColorStorm:
I'm just not really getting this at all. Isn't it fair to want to see the baby, and what's the difference between taking pictures of the baby in a private residence and taking pictures in the hospital? And what kind of pedophile wants to have sex with a newborn? I'd think that must be an extremely rare type of person.

Kate:
The baby has no choice. As soon as the pictures are online they are there to stay. Usable for spite, hate, alteration, crimes, sick habits and that might be bitter when that baby is a child or an adult later in life.

doki:
Exactly the point. Usually, when these people grow up, they hate the fact that they were posted at such a young age. (*usually*)

ColorStorm:
At what age is it okay to start taking pictures of a child?

Kate:
It's totally ok to take pictures of your child at any age but posting them to a sinister public is a nono.

doki:
Honestly? that depends. for me, i was ok at 10-11, but thats different for different people.

doki:
also yeah. like sending pictures of your kids in private to relatives or close family friends is completely ok

AJS:
There's nothing wrong with people posting pictures of their newborn child online. Talk about making something out of nothing.

doki:
.. there *is* a problem there? We just explained why

Kate:
AJS is a very sarcastic person who just makes a point by usurping the opposite stance to make the weirdness most contrasting.

QOTD;; ☆ do you like cow's or goat's milk?

ColorStorm:
I haven't tried goat's milk, but I like cow's milk. I don't drink it by itself, though...I mean I have, and I probably could, but I think it might disgust me nowadays just knowing what it really is. Also it's unethical to buy cow's milk because they keep the cow constantly lactating by making it always pregnant and then taking its babies away from it, and then they keep it locked up, milk it with harsh machines that can draw blood, inject it with antibodies (because of the tears due to the machines??), etc. (I'm guessing it's something similar for goat's milk.) But unfortunately I consume milk anyway, such as in cereal, strawberry milk, chocolate milk, ice cream, cheese, butter, espresso & cream...

ColorStorm:
I read your about me (I don't think I'd ever seen it before), and it's cool that you're interested in philosophy and spirituality--so am I. Those are probably my two biggest interests. I'm also interested in programming (and I like the idea of open-source), but I don't do it much anymore because my brain hates the labor. In my dreams I feel differently and want to work on projects. I've also looked into toki pona! I was talking about it with someone on IRC just a few weeks ago. I also think Lojban and Esperanto are cool. And I love electronic music, but not exactly the same kind that you like. For electronica, I mainly like EDM (goa-psy trance, psy trance, hard dance, nitzhogoa, and other stuff) and indie electronica. And psychill. And re retro gaming, most of the games I like are pretty darn old.

What's your opinion on this video? Was the one who oiled the street a genius? https://youtube.com/shorts/0SF5xEjo2lk

I'm not sure if the streets were oiled or whatever happened to them on purpose. Some vehicle may have leaked the oil. But I can't understand the language that video is in. I guess if it was intentionally oiled, that's kind of a funny prank from some perspective, and perhaps clever, but it's not very funny for the people whose cars were damaged through no fault of their own...

fizzyarthur:
It's not a prank. Armored vehicles are used by police incursions to provide a strategic advantage. By oiling the street the bandits successfully limited the vehicle's usefulness.

Is developing new weapons unethical?

ColorStorm:
It's complicated. War will happen anyway, but in the end, does the particular weapon cause more death, maiming, horror and loss than there would have been, or does it cause there to be less of it? The other consideration is taxpayer money, considering like, what, half of the US's entire tax revenue goes to the DoD?, and that's off the backs of people suffering at work every day and could have been used for more productive things.

Or even if she somehow retained her core identity in worm form (which seems unlikely; there's not enough space in a worm for that many neurons), I still wouldn't like her because that aspect of her being wouldn't be expressible.

Not much. Sometimes I mention to friends that I have more money than I have anything I want to do with it just so they feel okay with me offering money or gifts if they're broke. And my best friend is pretty poor and always talks about how he has no money, can't afford food, gets handouts from his mom and sister, etc., and also about how he doesn't even want a lot of money and hopes he never has it because he's not competent enough to manage it, even though he regularly plays the lottery because he says it gives him hope.

Are there too many foreigners in your country in your opinion?

ColorStorm:
Dude, a significant proportion of the population in my county even speak English, including employees that I have to interact with, and I live in America. Caucasians are actually a minority here. It bothers me. But I don't know about the country at large. And I guess it's nice to take in immigrants from Cuba since Cuba sucks so much, but I just wish they'd bother to learn English...they don't even have to because so many people in South Florida are from Cuba, so they just talk to and do business with each other. So it feels like being overrun by foreigners.

nachopee:
What if you learned Spanish

nachopee:
What if you learned Spanish

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I've thought about that / kinda wanted to for a long time, and I did take a Spanish class in college once...but in the end I'm just way too lazy. Life is barely tolerable for me when I have nothing to do; any kind of labor, including mental labor, puts me down below neutral into misery =P

AJS:
Yes, there's too many foreigners. Mass immigration is bad for demographics, job markets, housing markets, crime rates, schools, etc. People are delusional or brainwashed into thinking that mass immigration has no problems and that everyone will magically get along, hold hands and sing kumbaya or something.

AJS:
Inhahe, or any US citizen, shouldn't have to learn Spanish. This is an English-speaking country. They're the ones coming here. They should have to learn English. If they don't like it, they can leave.

nachopee:
Oh, AJS. You make me laugh

nachopee:
Thanks for being honest @inhahe, I do empathize that learning a language is hard so if you don't want to, don't. But don't apply an unfair double standard to foreigners. Especially if you would do the same thing moving to a new non-English speaking country.

ColorStorm:
@nachopee yeah, I did mention to my mom once that if we moved to another country to a part where most people spoke English, we probably wouldn't learn the language of that country either. Maybe I just wish it were a legal requirement that people learn English before moving here. That would be fair, because obviously if I were to move to another country with a similar requirement, I'd learn their language...or I wouldn't move there.

How do you feel about phoning with people?

ColorStorm:
It's okay, I used to talk to certain girls over the phone for many hours on end when I was in my 20s. A couple of them started to like like me. =) I'm not really a big fan of talking on the phone with strangers, including doing things like making appointments, though, but it's not really a huge deal either. The one thing I dislike about phoning is that you're kind of bound to the conversation...I never know how to tell people I want to stop talking (not that I wanted to stop talking to those girls I talked to for many hours). So I prefer online chatting because it's more asynchronous. I also prefer writing to talking when discussing philosophy because it gives me more time to formulate my words well and also to express my thoughts fully, but it's not like I would be talking philosophy with anyone on the phone anyway. Well, I did once, a long time ago...a friend asked me a philosophical question, and I gave an insightful, elaborate answer, and he was so surprised that I could do that without even having to pause a bit first to think about it that he pointed it out. =D

I also had a painting of a very idyllic indoor Christmas scene hanging on another wall, but I had to take it down the other year to put up some metal shelves, and I haven't gotten around to putting it back up somewhere else yet.

why is it ok for a customer to cuss at an employee but when a employees use profanity back they get fired?

ColorStorm:
I get the sense that it's because corporations love to put on an amicable face for the public, because it's optimal for business if as many customers as possible like them and don't have beef with them. So, they go to extremes to ensure that their employees don't mistreat their customers in any way, and also be nice to them, etc. This even applies to customers that mistreat them, because (a) it's still one more customer they can ensure keeps coming back, and (b) corporations don't give a shit about their employees at all, so they'll just make them suck anything up by policy instead of being able to have a healthy outlet for their anger and to stand up for themselves.

Not everyone considers it okay for women to hit men, but yes, it's generally considered a much less serious offense. I believe the reason is that (a) the socially defined gender role of men is as protector of women, and also for them to be dominant over women, and (b) their bigger and stronger physique reflects this role, so a man hitting a woman can hit her much harder and the woman might not necessarily be able to effectively fight back, while a woman hitting a man probably couldn't be as hard and the man would definitely be able to fight back if he wanted to (typically).

why do people get mad when you cuss at them , yet they cuss on a daily basis?

ColorStorm:
What I think LaDama said. When you cuss at *them,* it becomes personal. But, besides that, even if both actions were equally personal, most people are not self-aware or conscientious enough, or don't have enough integrity, to simply observe their own behavior and try to make sure it's fair in that they tolerate from others the same kind of behavior they dish out themselves. I.e., most people can't tolerate their own behavior.

anonymous:
why do people get mad when you give out their phone number?

ColorStorm:
It's a very natural and understandable reaction. Phone numbers are very private, you don't want randoes who could be creeps, stalkers/harassers, rapists, or worse calling you up knowing who you are. Maybe you don't even want *nice* randoes calling you out of the blue distracting you and taking up your time. And it's just something people like to keep close to them and private on principal, for the sake of boundaries, privacy/personal information concerns, etc.

Wieselmann:
Do you think you can choose what you are thinking?

ColorStorm:
Yes, obviously. For the most part anyway. Sometimes you don't want to think about something and even trying not to think about it makes you think of it. =P Well, I guess my mind works according to association. One thought leads to another. But I can choose to dwell on and prolong the next thought that comes up or dismiss it. And I can choose what I'm focusing my attention on which affects the character of the thoughts that come up. And I can choose what I want to imagine, though the exact contents of the imagining seem to happen on their own. Sometimes I dare myself to think of something powerfully that will have negative consequences and I can't help but "look at it" and hence think it. I think I do it because I'm existentially bored senseless and have been my entire life. Then there are beliefs/expectations about something that's going to happen or not happen, and those border on being thoughts themselves.. and it's often hard to control those. I think they border on the unconscious. Long story short: you have a lot of free will over what you think, but it's not absolute. After all, if it were, how would you choose the thoughts that make you want to think what you do? :p

Was it consensual? Then there's no problem. Was it non-consensual? Well I doubt he literally raped someone with his finger, but he could have abused his position of power and coerced them.

The justification is that there's so much suffering here on Earth. I think for the most part it's limited to humans and the animals humans affect, but there's also something to be said for the pain, terror and profanity in the fact that a lot of animals eat each other..

I might also be paralyzed by the murkiness of politics/trying to run society in a way that doesn't have some dirty consequences and doesn't cause outrage among any particular factions of the population...and I might be totally candid about my views on and motivations for everything, because I think it's only right and would make things easier and I'm idealistic, while it would actually make both political sides hate me, because I'm mostly liberal but share some important views with conservatives, and also have some views that *everybody* hates. I might also try to save the world by enacting very strict environmental regulations, which is actually necessary to prevent the imminent collapse of the biosphere and civilization, but they'd have to be so strict that it would drastically compromise our convenient and luxurious modern lifestyle that everybody's so addicted to. Other possible problems: I'm lazy, I have severe social anxiety, and I lack common sense when it comes to the arbitrary workings of human enterprises.

Those of you who use Linux: What was your first Linux distribution, and what was your experience like? Those of you who don't use Linux: What is your impression of Linux, based on the information you currently have? Would you ever consider using Linux as the operating system on your main PC? Those who don't know what I'm talking about: What is the primary device you use to access the Internet?

ColorStorm:
I don't use Linux regularly, but I use it sometimes, for specific things that I can only do on Linux. I have it in WSL and VirtualBox. My first Linux distribution was Red Hat, back in like 1993 or something. I don't remember it much. I would *never* consider using Linux as my main operating system. Compared to Windows, it's extremely crude, buggy, non-user-friendly, and lacking in features. And you frequently run into issues just trying to run simple applications or do anything, and resolving each issue takes a lot of research and effort, unless you have elaborate knowledge of the inner workings of the OS, and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend that many hours just studying some arbitrary OS, I'm not that much of a nerd. I Hate Linux. Windows, on the other hand, Just Works™️. This is why I think people who think Linux is a perfectly suitable desktop OS for the masses, or even think it's better than Windows, are delusional. I mean, I know it's better than Windows in some ways, especially for programmers and as a server, but those are niche use cases, it's not better than Windows overall.

f00fc7c8:
I've used Linux as my main operating system for 8+ years, and I have no desire to go back. I can configure it however I want, it doesn't track or advertise to me without my consent, and I find it easier to troubleshoot Linux issues than Windows issues, because Linux doesn't hide its internals. But I don't think it's for everyone. Windows is still better for some use cases, and because there's only one version of it with a much bigger critical mass, it's a lot better supported and documented.

ColorStorm:
Ah, good points. Personally, I haven't bothered to configure Linux much beyond setting the wallpaper, changing the screen size, pinning a few applications, and changing the keyboard layout to Dvorak, and I can do all of those things more easily in Windows. And I don't care about tracking, if anything it does me a favor by making ads more relevant to my interest when I have to see ads anyway. And I haven't had the OS itself show me any ads, that would infuriate me. As for troubleshooting, I virtually never

ColorStorm:
have to troubleshoot windows in the first place because it Just Works, and when I do, a quick Google search usually suffices. But yeah, that's just me and my experience.

Shannon:
Would you rather have another 10 years with your partner or a one-night stand with your celebrity crush?

ColorStorm:
If I had a partner I would rather the former. If I had a partner, it'd probably be someone I love and enjoy being with, and I wouldn't throw away such a long-term good over one night, let alone with someone who might not even love me. Having a happier/more fulfilling life would be gold. Also, it would be very mean toward my partner to break up a 10-year relationship just for that. And (as I kind of already indicated) a genuine connection/mutual cherishing is much more important to me than the act of sex, too. Simply having sex with my crush could be mostly meaningless, it was just sex, or even if we socialized but she didn't take any extraordinary liking to me, I'd be better of having sex with some random really good-looking person, not that I would make that deal either.

Shannon:
Would you rather spend a week in the forest or a night in a real haunted house?

ColorStorm:
Tough choice. Would I have a tent to stay in, food and water, etc. in the forest, or would I be all on my own? If the latter, it'd be miserable for me and I'd probably die, or at least go a long time without food and water, which is bad for my health. So I'd pick the haunted house. If the former, I *might* pick it over the haunted house because I strongly suspect that if I ever actually came face to face with a ghost, it would be absolutely terrifying, and terror is extremely uncomfortable. Imagining meeting a ghost and actually encountering one are two *totally* different things. Though it's a lot more likely I'd just see or hear poltergeist, or nothing at all (depending on how haunted the house is), and I'm not sure how I'd react to poltergeist. So, it's a tough choice. If I must choose, hmm.. I guess I'll pick the haunted house, because I'd be literally bored out of my mind being in a forest for a week.

Shannon:
Would you rather lose your sight or your memories?

ColorStorm:
Tough one. I don't really want to choose either of these/have to make a decision. =P My eyesight is *extremely* important to me, so much that when I was young, I was terrified of complete darkness only if there was no source of light anywhere, not because I was afraid of what might be lurking in the dark, but because I had no way of being sure my eyes still worked. Once in a motel room with some relatives, I cried all night because there was complete darkness, must to the annoyance of my aunt. =P Also, after a car accident once, a nurse tried to glue one of my eyelids back together, and she accidentally glued my eye shut, and she had to forcibly pull it back open, and I don't think I've ever been as afraid or freaked out in my life as that moment. One of the nurses exclaimed, "he's not going to take it!" But, on the other hand, losing all of my memories would be utterly debilitating, and I wouldn't even know who I am. Or, if you just mean memories of specific events and such, I guess I could deal with that, I guess I'd probably choose that.

[2024-04-04]

Shannon:
Would you rather lose all your teeth or lose a day of your life every time you kissed someone?

ColorStorm:
The second. Losing all my teeth would be devastating to me, and I don't even particularly want to live anyway--or at least/especially, I don't want to live a long time/into old age/after my parents die. And even if I did, I hardly ever get to kiss anyone anyway. The last time I did was around 2011. And, as much as I obsessed over the idea of kissing someone all my years as a kid and young adult, I'm numb to it nowadays because I'm emotionally disconnected, so there's really no point in me ever kissing again -- except for kissing a cute girl's face, not their lips, or maybe barely including their lips, I might enjoy that, not sure.

The former. Money doesn't buy happiness. Yes, being poor causes unhappiness, but a study showed that more money didn't increase people's happiness levels over around $100k/year, statistically speaking. And even if money did buy happiness, it would be a less meaningful happiness than true love. But, this decision would be selfish of me, because if I won the lottery, I could (and, I think, I would) spend most of the money on much-needed social reform.

The second, no contest. I wouldn't make a good father, I'm worldily incompetent, and I lack emotions so I couldn't love my kids, and also I'd live in constant fear of something happening to one of them. And second, I'm an antinatalist, because 1. the vast majority of people suffer much more of the time than they are happy. We're thrown into a world where we have to slave away every day just to live, let alone a million other systemic problems and cruelties in the world.

I was actually looking for the one where they jump to the end credit scene, but this one might be even cooler because he gives himself a nonexistent powerup. For computer glitches, I had one in mind but I can't find the article. Basically Microsoft had a sophisticated secret way for the Microsoft webpages to elevate privileges in their browser to run arbitrary code or update the OS or something, idr, and someone found a simple way around it that apparently the programmers at Microsoft hadn't thought of, so it was kinda funny.

A friend now has her baby girl and the family is good and well. She decided to breastfeed the baby girl. I've seen the baby drinking and now wonder how it's like to have breasts with milk and have a baby sucking that away? Do you feel the rising and lowering amount of milk? What sensation is/was the most impressive when you had/have the experience?

ColorStorm:
I'm a guy, but I've heard that suckling is painful. I think I've also heard of it being sexually pleasurable.

Kate:
I have heard both but only anecdotal evidence ...

LaDamaX:
Nope. No sexual pleasure involved.

ColorStorm:
I think it was just that one lady.

Kate:
.. some women report agreeable feelings but in general it's either reported as a burden or denied as an inappropriate feeling and they shut up about it. But when baby bites while sucking it's not nice or a pleasure. I need more evidence ...

LaDamaX:
I guess maybe it would depend on your sexual preferences. I can’t say I ever experienced that. Tbh I think I might be a little weirded out. Not saying it’s wrong but I think I would be startled. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kate:
Some women simply like physical touch on breasts and nips and some don't and some don't care. I think this is not anything sexual but on the same page as reacting to agreeable scents or tastes or touch. Maybe also a bit hardwired into a body and the nervous system.

Do you have any merch from things you like? What is it?

ColorStorm:
The only merch I can think of is an Alice in Wonderland (2010) poster on the inside of my door, which is getting very tattered where it's right next to the door handle, an Alice (the 1951 version) doll I got last Christmas because I wanted it (I liked the way it looked) that I put on display, and an acrylic disc (about 8" in diameter) with Alice in Wonderland (1951) imagery on it that I have hanging on a shelf that I got from Temu recently.

Kate:
Provocative question: Some Evangelical Christians in the US reject some things in the Bible as too leftist. Read about it the other minute. Can somebody in the know clear things up for me?

ColorStorm:
Idk, but I've seen arguments made with several Jesus quotes or aspects of his life that Jesus would have been a liberal, while it seems that most Christians, at least in the US, are Republicans. It's so angeringly hypocritical that their religion tells them to love everyone and they choose the selfish and bigoted political party. It's even more hypocritical that some would outright reject certain parts of the Bible for their convenience even though their religion upholds that the *entire* Bible, or at least the New Testament, is the infallible word of God, *especially* Jesus' words if you otherwise have any doubts.

Kate:
Which leads me to the conclusion that some parts of the US population steers a course to fascist pseudo theocratic form of state?

ColorStorm:
Yeah, I think so. For example, even to this day it's illegal to have gay sex in 12 states in the US. I'm not sure about the "pseudo" part of "fascist pseudo theocratic," some Christians maybe cherry picking, but the God of the bible really was a huge, bigoted, war-mongering, genocidal dickwad.

fizzyarthur:
Explain your sense of humor.

ColorStorm:
A like a lot of things that are funny for very abstract reasons, or at least I used to. I also really prefer funny things that are *clever*, like utilizing of unlikely coincidences in language or whatever else, rather than things that are relatively straightforward to produce. For example, take Seinfeld, which would often create humor through their multiple simultaneous plotlines intermingling with each other somehow. That takes cleverness. I also like intelligent humor (again, like Seinfeld or Friends), not cheesy humor (like The Big Bang Theory). I think most comedy movies seem really dumb to me, though a few are really good. Potty humor is the *worst*.

ColorStorm:
The funny shows I've liked are Seinfeld, Friends, Conan, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Family Guy, Futurama and South Park. There may have been some others I'm not thinking of. Of those, I feel like South Park is probably the most masterful at humor.

ColorStorm:
Oh yeah, I used to like The Simpsons, too.

ColorStorm:
When I was young I liked some sitcoms like Growing Pains, Family Ties, and others, but I probably wouldn't be able to stand them now.

recommend me albums to listen to and I will give feedback in the comments?? pretty puppy please!!

ColorStorm:
Most of my favorite music is just individual songs; when I investigate, usually either they're the only song on the album I like or there's one or two maybe more, but here are all the albums I can think of that I like most or all of the songs on, or even don't *dislike* all or most of the songs on: The Crystal Method - Vegas The Glitch Mob - Love Death Immortality The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea Robert Miles - Children Robert Miles - 23am Technomancer II - Mindbending Climax The Very Best of Enya Oceanlab - Sirens of the Sea Karl Jenkin - Adiemus I Salem - any of theirs Maybe also The Very Best of Enya, I don't remember how many of the songs on that album are her good ones (to my ear). Lets Be Friends - This Means War! vol. 1 Lets Be Friends - This Means War! vol. 2 Camellia - Invaidas from da Jungle Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries of Shpongeland Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressable and probably a few other Shpongle albums, I don't feel like checking which ones I like for sure, but I generally like Shpongle's stuff I also kind of like The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Official Soundtrack And probably The Matrix Revolutions soundtrack, I haven't listened to it but I really liked the music in that movie. And I kinda like all the albums by ott. And here all the albums from Bandcamp that I have downloaded, which means I presumably like them. I don't feel like listening to them all right now to remind me what they are, so I'll just post them all. hexsystem - spiritual paralysis joe rainey - niineta bandcamp - keeleyforsyth - debris Lustmord & Karin Park - ALTER Macroblank - Hostile magnavolt - motoko 2 - demo music Magnavolt - seducer nina pixel - music from ancestral archeology - secrets of the fern Ravenscoon - Inertia EP ravenscoon - mind reinhardt buhr - life A few of those Bandcamp albums I specifically remember were awesome. I think I have a few other albums in my music directory that I must like, but I don't feel like going through them all. Sorry for posting so many!! But obviously you can pick and choose a few of them to listen to.

ColorStorm:
oops, I forgot to remove the word bandcamp before the keeleyforsyth album. I copied all those from a directory listing and I start all my bandcamp album directories with the word bandcamp.

ColorStorm:
oops, I included the very best of enya twice, I copied the first few from a tweet I posted once and forgot it was in there.

ColorStorm:
when i say I "kinda" like all the albums by ott, I probably liked it more than I remember, because I paid for his complete discography on Bandcamp. That's the only artist I've ever done that with, and I've rarely bought anything on bandcamp either way.

fizzyarthur:
The newest playstation and xbox consoles are basically x86 PCs. Should manufacturers be forced to allow people to install PC operating systems in their powerful consoles?

ColorStorm:
I think it would be generally better if we actually owned and had control over the things we buy. One reason I can see for not forcing them to allow this, though, is that it may help enable piracy of games. (Intellectual property seems a bit ridiculous in principle, but you can't argue with the fact that without it companies would have much less incentive to put all that hard work into creating the media we love..)

fizzyarthur:
I don't think it would be possible to play console games if said consoles were running windows, for example. Piracy is not a relevant issue here.

ColorStorm:
But it would make more sense legally (and would be more technically feasible) to just allow any overwriting or modification of the OS rather than just the ability to install Windows, so I think that's what they would do if anything. And in that case, they could modify the OS to download a game from someone else's PS or XBOX or copy a protected DVD or whatever.

BidenLadysMan:
Super Size me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock is dead at 53 from cancer. His big movie (which I initially enjoyed) turned out to be fake. He lied about his tests. He lied about his overall health before going on the 30 day McDonald's diet. Turns out he was a raging alcoholic at the time which explained his liver failure during the movie. And his withdrawals. The thing about experiments you can usually duplicate them and no one ever could. So ... he has a complicated legacy. What do you think of Morgan Spurlock, if you knew of him at all?

ColorStorm:
If the things you say are true (which I'm unconvinced of), then it was dishonest/unethical of him to lie and withhold important and relevant information. But there's no doubt that McDonald's is unhealthy and people shouldn't eat it. Which is why I thought he was doing a great thing by making the documentary even at risk to his own health and life, but if he was dishonest then I wouldn't say the ends justified the means of being dishonest. The absolute truth is always of paramount importance for myriad subtle reasons that we're not necessarily consciously aware of (and of course also often for more overt reasons).

BidenLadysMan:
Well the message was a sound one. But the movie was never going to be presented impartially. It was always going to be a hit piece on McDonald's. Which is fine but it's not a fair experiment that again couldn't be duplicated.

BidenLadysMan:
There was this other movie called Fat head. Where a comedian did the same diet as Spurlock the difference is he exercised every day. And while he ate 3 meals a day at McDonald's he didn't eat until he was sick like Spurlock did. He ended up not gaining any weight and felt fine. It shows it's the choices you make not the food you eat

BidenLadysMan:
And his alcoholism is documented. I think he wrote a book about it where he said he's drank since he was 15.

Hmm, in that case he's probably not the reason for the bad situation.

Maybe the bad situation is that the bread is moldy. So, I'll just inspect the bread carefully before I eat it. But wait, that doesn't answer why the clown and the tractor are relevant to the bad situation. I have no idea.

Which one is better, Spotify on shuffle or a good radio station? And what's the best radio station you know?

ColorStorm:
I usually listen to a good online radio station (or a real one if I'm in the car), but "better" is obviously subjective and depends on which you like most. That itself depends on how much you like the songs on your Spotify list, how many songs you have on it, and how picky you are about music or much you like the radio stations you know of, as well as other factors, like how much you like listening to the same song you've heard a million times, the presence or lack of ads, etc. The best radio stations I know are: http://player.nubreaks.com, http://di.fm/chilloutdreams, http://di.fm/harddance, http://di.fm/goapsy, https://www.jazzradio.com/hardbop, https://www.jazzradio.com/vocaljazz, WVUM, WRPG, and WDNA, and a few others.

ColorStorm:
WVUM and WDNA can be streamed online. WRPG can't, AFAIK.

ColorStorm:
WVUM and WRPG are indie electronica and at least one of them is also indie rock, and WVUM is jazz and sometimes Latin jazz.

Personal question: how to stop getting sad/cry for no reason?

ColorStorm:
I don't know, but I see some people are recommending seeing a doctor - I'd just say it's probably better to see a therapist or psychologist than a psychiatrist. Psychiatry is scientistic pill-pushing that tends to treat fundamentally psychological and/or spiritual problems as brain-chemical problems and tries to solve them with chemicals. The chemicals have nasty side effects, including a lessening of feeling in general and, in some cases, suicidal ideation. They're not that great for your body either.

ColorStorm:
Yeah, pretty sure

ColorStorm:
Oh, I think I was wrong. I looked it up. Websites say you typically need a referral to see a psychiatrist. I didn't see one that mentions what country they're

Where you live in your country or state, do you think the laws help prevent crimes, or what do you think should or shouldn't be considered a crime?

ColorStorm:
I don't know for sure if laws act as a deterrent, but I would guess they do, because people would fear being caught and going to prison. I do think that, either way, locking of people with criminal type minds helps protect society from said people. But that doesn't mean I *necessarily* believe laws and punishment should exist. I don't really know. I can't answer the second question because there are way too many possible activities to categories as should/shouldn't be a crime. I will say, because it seems pertinent nowadays, that I believe in freedom of speech.

AGR:
I think it also depends on mindset in the case of allowing for freedom of speech, if it's applicable to what's being said we may be able learn from it.

Have been together with my mrs fox and since she is a good measure taller than me I heard a sneaky comment of passers by about 'no match'. Do you prefer your partner/lover/so to be taller/smaller/matching your size or is that totally unimportant? Also does it hurt you when random persons make funky remarks about you or your partner? In my case I love to brag with mrs fox being tall er. Would it hurt your self esteem when your partner was taller? There is a social rule?

ColorStorm:
I would rather my girlfriend by the same size as me or shorter. I wouldn't really mind if she were taller, though, and it wouldn't hurt my self-esteem, but it would be a bit hard to kiss her. I've never had a random person make a funky remark about me or my partner...I'm not sure how I'd react. I guess I wouldn't be "hurt" exactly but I may be a little irritated.

Kate:
Since I tend to be a bit smaller than the average person around here I would have a very hard time to find a girl smaller than me. But I have no problem with taller girls. But I find it cringe when some women demand their partners to be "at least one foot" taller and that they never would love a small person let alone be seen with someone smaller in public. I think that is a laughable stance to make yourself so depending on the public judgement?

Tech question: so my phone is supposed to have a "high refresh rate" screen. Still, there are some little stutters here and there even though I thought there wouldn't be any. Why does that happen?

ColorStorm:
Stutters are unrelated to screen refresh rate. Refresh rate is a constant thing, whereas stutters are intermittent. Stutters happen, I would think, when the CPU or maybe the bus is busy doing something and can't update the screen in time for the next refresh. (So yes, that makes stutters related to screen refresh rate since if the rate were slower it might not have stuttered. But that's definitely not related in the way you thought it was.) Did you get one of those "economy" phone models?

fizzyarthur:
No. But my friend's iPhone is less stuttery than mine despite the lower refresh rate.

ColorStorm:
I can see having a higher refresh rate causing more stutters. That would naturally follow from 'Stutters happen, I would think, when the CPU or maybe the bus is busy doing something and can't update the screen in time for the next refresh'

I probably wouldn't like it, but I could handle it. After all, there's a good chance there'd be a celebrity crush *I'd* have that I'd want more than my girlfriend, haha. Not that she'd necessarily know about it. =p But anyway, celebrity crushes are normal and due to the larger-than-life nature of celebrities (they're rich, they're famous, they're exceptionally good-looking and talented, you see them on TV, etc.--they have everything), the crushes tend to be the most intense, so in a relationship you just have to consider them exceptions.

ColorStorm:
I don't know if porn produces rape and is good for society, but I know that there's little use in trying to prove general societal things with single specific cases. It's not all black and white. Even if porn is generally good and prevents rape, there can easily be exceptions. In general, latching on to specific cases to prove a general point isn't a very effective argument.

What’s something you’ve done while drunk that you would never do sober?

I'm pretty much the same while drunk, just dizzier, so the answer is probably something like.. accidentally knock a glass over or fall back onto the floor while trying to get up. Although I guess I can be a *little* less inhibited (still not sure if it's an actual neurochemical thing or the power of suggestion), like the first time I was drunk, in a club in France, I walked up to the leader of the tour group and said "I'm drunk!". I never would have done that normally. That's actually the only example I can remember, ever.

What do you think of dogs, how is your relationship to them?

ColorStorm:
I love dogs, it's amazing how much they love humans, and also how unconditionally, at least toward their owners. And how funny they can be. They're a gift directly from God. Depending on the breed or the dog, of course. They're kinda scary when they're big and barking at you as you're walking down the sidewalk and jumping up and down trying to get over the fence, though. I want to pet them when I'm out in public a lot more often than I do because I don't want to have to interact with the owners. We've had two dogs that I can remember, one I tried to take care of after he got severe arthritis and couldn't walk anymore, but I just couldn't keep up. He just stayed in the same spot on the floor and peed on himself all the time. We eventually put him to sleep. =/ I was also the only person who would bother to take him out for walks before he got arthritis. He was a golden retriever named Andy. I named him after Hurricane Andrew, because the day after the storm he showed up in our front yard, a young dog. My dad didn't want to keep him but I made a box for him on our front porch and fed him and stuff so eventually my dad took him in.

Andy:
You're getting Married! You have $10,000 to spend on the Wedding, The Rings / Proposal and The Honeymoon... where do you allocate the funds and why?

ColorStorm:
I wouldn't spend most on the ring, because I think it's vain and selfish of women to want men to spend half a year's salary on their diamond rings. Probably the best thing to spend most of it on would the honeymoon, because that's an actual experience and you want it to be great. If I really wanted to get married and I wasn't sure she'd want to marry me, I might spend most on the proposal...but then, I've never really been that into the idea of marriage. And also, spending a lot on the proposal seems kind of entrapping. And what about the horrors if she doesn't accept.

Andy:
Its an interesting puzzle eh? In terms of percentage how would you invest in the 3 elements of marriage?

ColorStorm:
Hmm, I've heard that a study showed the more a couple spends on their wedding, the shorter their marriage lasts, but then, I've also heard the opposite. But I wouldn't want the wedding to be too cheap if I had a wedding, just because cheap things suck. But weddings are pretty expensive anyway. Like $10,000 is probably nothing. And regarding the honeymoon, I guess you don't need to spend a heck of a lot to have a good experience. Well, I don't know. It all depends on what I think my would-be bride demands.

ColorStorm:
If it were totally up to me and she'd have no problem with it, I guess $150 on the ring, just enough on the wedding to have a ceremony, food, and friends and family, I don't actually know how much that is. Or maybe I'd just want to get married at the court, I don't know. And the rest on the honeymoon. So I don't really know off-hand, percentage-wise.

ColorStorm:
sry i don't understand the question

Shannon:
What don't you understand?

ColorStorm:
Well what does whether they wrote the song or not have to do with whether they should be able to have backing vocals on? And also, if they wrote the song, why should it matter if it's more known by a different singer? And how does it being more known by a different singer affect whether they should have backup vocals on? And what do you mean by 'on'? Do you mean artificially generated/played backup vocals?

Shannon:
Tbh I don't know what your talking about as it's just a yes or not question.

Shannon:
So example Dolly parton wrote the song I will always love you, but Whitney houstan sang it. Should dolly parton be able to sing that song at her concert?

Shannon:
*no

ColorStorm:
oh ok, well, i guess the copyright for the lyrics belongs to dolly, so legally she should be able to sing it.

Shannon:
Yes so basically Taylor swift wrote a song and played it at her concert but it's known that Rihanna sang this song and people are accusing Taylor swift of stealing Rihanna songs. But no one is causing dolly of stealing a Whitney Houston song.... That's why I asked the question.

Shannon:
*Accusing..

ColorStorm:
oh it could be that dolly had sang the song before houston did somewhere. or it could be that dolly fans are just a more knowledgeable/sophisticated crowd and know what she wrote whereas taylor swift fans are more the hoi polloi because taylor is so popular. taylor swift fans are probably a lot younger at least. also there'd just be more people to complain about it since taylor is a lot more popular than dolly.

Shannon:
You mean Rihanna fans?

ColorStorm:
not really, i'm comparing taylor swift fans to dolly fans.. but i guess you're right, it's probably the rihanna fans that are complaining, not the dolly fans. but maybe the same points still apply.

Shannon:
It would be the Whitney fans that would complain not the dolly fans though I prefer dolly's version and Taylor swift versions :)

No, it could be sophistication. Issues are complex. Society is complex. People are complex. There's a lot of information. It can be hard to know what's best or true. Everyone has their opinion, and we all know what those are worth. So what's the point of adding to the polarization? Even when a politician fence-sits on an issue so as not to put anyone off, it's still not necessarily cowardice. It could be smart (in a cookie-cutter, feckless kinda way).

Kate:
haha, nope, we were just discussing how it is done in comparison to the local system here.

rainbowpink:
you can register online at vote.gov i believe, then they’ll send you a voter registration card that will tell you where you go to vote in person (or you may be able to vote via mail although many states are limiting that). if voting in person you go to your polling center they assigned you with photo id and are given a ballot which you fill out and place into a machine which scans your ballot. if you vote via mail, they send you a ballot and you mail it back once you’ve filled it out. it varies by state tho

Would you take performance enhancing drugs if the side effects were only minor or silly? Like developing a penguin affinity or an addiction to raisins. 🌚

This question doesn't really make sense to me because everything is a trade-off fundamentally. If the human body could perform better without any negative side effects, then it would do so already. This is why I'm suspicious of all drugs and don't take them unless it's absolutely necessary. The only way your scenario could work is by magic, and in that case I'd rather the magic be in the form of some spell or affirmation or something than (somehow) in the form of a pill. =P

Sometimes/usually it's possible to know without a doubt what's good and what's evil within your own value system. If your value system itself is in question then what's good and what's evil will be in question. These value systems are rather subjective but I guess some are saner than others. Good and evil is a lot like the issue of beauty: it seems fundamentally subjective but at the same time there's a degree to which everyone can agree..

What are your thoughts on "cancel culture"? Someone famous said something stupid on Twitter when they were 12, now they're not allowed to be on TV.

ColorStorm:
I don't like it. It's tyranny of the 100% politically correct. It's basically enforcing an ideology on everyone (non-famous people aren't subject to cancel culture..unless you count the possibility of being fired from their jobs..but the ideology is still enforced on everyone indirectly through what ideologies or opinions are allowed to aired by the very popular). Even if the established set of PC principles were the only truly moral ideology, it's not right to mercilessly enforce this ideology through censorship and ruining careers. People should be free to come to what's right on their own, and there should be freedom of speech (meaning in a more practical/general way than just what's allowed by the government). And, like you said, people can unfairly be held to things they said 10 or 20 years ago, when they were a very different person and/or when society's beliefs and what was acceptable were very different. It's not fair to hold people to what they said back when society had different morality, because if everyone (or most people) had that morality then it obviously proves that people's moralities are just the products of their society, or even if they are responsible for having gone with the majority then so is everyone else, so there's no point in singling them out. Someone, somewhere (maybe spiritual Twitter? Maybe a mailing list?), said something very insightful about cancel culture. I don't think I'd be able to find it now, but it was basically something like.. Society is on its way to learning to do what's right, but cancel culture is like a stepping stone between doing what's wrong (i.e. what cancel culture is canceling) and everybody choosing, out of their own accord, to freely do what's right. Before we get to people freely being moral we have to experiment with effectively forcing people to be moral so we can realize why we don't really like that.

Wieselmann:
What makes absolutely no sense to you at all?

ColorStorm:
Economics. Like trying to keep jobs in the US so that people get paid more. Like, how is it not a benefit to, as a nation, receive the products of very cheap labor from other countries? It's like if I paid you $5 to paint my house instead of doing it myself, only on the collective level of nations instead. And people worried about automation taking jobs, same principle. As a people we get more for less with automation, so the obvious solution is to just use that gain we get from the extra efficiency to pay the people we're worried about not having jobs.. I mean, I'm sure there are issues with that idea--how do you decide whom to pay and whom not to pay? But still, the complete lack of compassion for others, sharing, etc. is what gives rise to this paradox. I mean, if we didn't have that serious lack of sharing and empathy and instead mutually *use* each other on a mass scale a la capitalism, then everybody would get some kind of UBI and these issues wouldn't be issues..

anonymous:
why does a female officer need to search women and a male officer search men?

ColorStorm:
Because society is highly sexophobic and typical/traditional sexual attraction (as well as sexual harassment, r@pe, etc.) is between men and women, so a man feeling up (i.e., searching) a woman without her consent / outside of a mutual attraction scenario is seen as inappropriate and so of course the converse is considered also necessarily inappropriate.

Anybody can end up homeless. You wouldn't think the homeless are lowlives if you ended up homeless yourself through some kind of unfortunate circumstance. And, I've heard, the homeless look after each other more and are more generous than any group..

Does she wear headphones with cat ears attached to it? 'cause that's a style for young streamers?

I don't remember seeing any of my niece's videos, but she doesn't have headphones with cat ears on in her profile pic. And I've never seen her wearing any. I don't think its_radsy wears them either.

Is fasting bad? (Conflicted) What's your spin on the subject

ColorStorm:
I don't know, I'm not a dietitian, but it seems unlikely to me that fasting would be a good idea. Your body needs sustenance to survive and function efficiently. How could denying yourself useful nutrition actually help your body? I can see one way, though. Nowadays everything we eat is full of unhealthy sh\*t, from plastic to pesticides to preservatives. By fasting you'd give yourself a break from all this stuff in which your body can maybe cleanse itself. Basically though, I'd reserve judgment unless and until I look up the opinions of experts. I'd trust the opinion of a doctor way before I'd trust folk memes on the matter. Just because something is popular (especially when it comes to diet) doesn't mean it's legit.

ColorStorm:
Well, music has been being made for so long that if we were going to run out of songs to sing, I think it would have happened a long time ago. Also, like what, 99% of songs are about relationships? So you'd think there'd be plenty of room for novelty if people just thought outside the box. I think it's just market forces that are somehow making music more homogeneous and less original.

I'm not sure of the *first* thing I ever coded, but one of the first things I coded when I was little was a program on the Tandy Color Computer 2 that made discs out of concentric circles in random spots on the screen while playing increasing notes.. for some reason the computer rendered the the circles with colors in them (I imagine it was some kind of subpixel rendering to make them more round), so the disks looked a lot like CDs with their iridescence.

What would happen if the speed of light suddenly increased to infinity?

ColorStorm:
I've read that, while Maxwell's equations necessitate that there is a speed of light, it's technically possible for that speed to be infinite. I don't think that necessarily entails *accelerating* anything to light/infinite speed. I don't really know what would happen if the speed of light suddenly became infinite (other what Kate said), but I know that the proposal itself is problematic because an infinite speed of light implies a universal single "now." Now, that's conceivably possible, but *currently* "now" and synchronousness are relative due to the limited speed of light, so if it suddenly became infinite there would be a lot of paradoxes/unresolvable conflicts regarding what the "current" state is in many parts of the universe. (I'm saying "in many parts of the universe" instead of "everywhere" because, according to this physics PhD student I talked to, there is an interpretation of general relativity where *most* of the universe can be resolved to an absolute current "now," but even under that interpretation there are corner cases where it can't be.)

Is philanthropy just PR for rich old people?

ColorStorm:
I don't know. My guess is *maybe* it is in some cases--rich people who are still running a company or who are otherwise still making riches and who are well-known for doing that. I'd guess in most cases it's just a little something for them to feel good about themselves...or maybe it's out of a genuine love of humanity? Though note that they seem to always only give a small fraction of their ridiculously enormous wealth to philanthropy.

Should all cars be bulletproof?

ColorStorm:
Probably not. I'm not sure the number of lives saved by making them all bulletproof would offset the cost. Especially for people who can barely afford a car. And if you were going to fit cars with something lifesaving, it would make a lot more sense for it to be crash-prevention measures such as the sensors that tell you or react by controlling the car when you're veering out of your lane, about to hit something, etc. And anyway ultimately it makes sense to let the market decide. The fact that all cars aren't bulletproof already is probably an indication that it's not something buyers want for the cost.

If my opinion is too anathema (i.e., it would get a million people jumping on my ass at once, multiple people reporting my account just for spite, and a bunch of people blocking me maybe including some who were followers, and maybe even my account suspended), then I don't say it. I also won't say it if it's just not an interesting subject to me (i.e., I don't deem the stance important to society), or if the post seems like engagement bait (e.g., on Twitter; thankfully, engagement bait isn't a thing on Retrospring). Well, I often do reply to engagement bait even though I know it's engagement bait, because it can be a convenient way to express myself.

Snackrifice~! You just got turned into a candy or dessert~! What would you be, is it a favorite of yours... Would you want to be eaten?... >.>

ColorStorm:
I guess I'd turn into a favorite of mine, provided I somehow had a choice in the matter (but couldn't choose not to become a candy/dessert); if I have to be a candy, I might as well be a good one. And if I'm going to be eaten, I might as well bring my devourer some pleasure. Though there is a chance if I'm a *bad* candy nobody would eat me. But I can't really answer whether I would want to be eaten, because it depends on a lot of things. What would my senses and experience be like? Would I even have senses? Would I continue to be the substances making up the candy/dessert even after it's been eaten, been processed, and then been expelled from the body? Or do I have an afterlife, or do I just cease to be if somebody eats me? Is my experience/quality of life miserable? Neutral? Great? Is slowly dying due to disintegration or rot or mold or whatever in the case that I don't get eaten, painful? Is the process of getting eaten painful? How painful is it, compared to dying slowly? Lots of unknown factors here.

What do you think about people who constantly swear by the Lord to assure you they are telling the truth while they are well known to lie even with little things?

ColorStorm:
I think they're even just a little more unethical/trashy than people who lie *without* using the Lord's name. Just because saying "on God" or whatever is supposed to be more convincing, so they're destroying even the last venue for people trying to show that they're not another liar.. and not to mention that they're also trashing sacred ground. But that's as far it goes, because I never understood what swearing in someone's name is supposed to mean anyway, like swearing to God or swearing on your mother's grave. I mean, is something bad supposed to happen if you swear to God a lie? Is God going to get hurt or die? Is your mother going to become more dead? I just don't get it.

Do people want and need leadership and what is it good for?

ColorStorm:
I suppose. Even in tribal society they had/have leadership. And in the book I'm reading, Chronicles from the Future, people pretty much live in an ideal way in 3900--wise, childlike, thoroughly good-natured, spiritual--and they still have leadership. Note that leadership doesn't have to - and ideally wouldn't - imply leadership by force. If leadership exists in the ideal society, it would be purely volitional by everyone involved.

Kate:
People I asked why they want leader ship hae a common narrative: They want a ring through their nose and be lead everywhere where it is "good" but nobody must dare to mention the nose ring nor the leadership.

ColorStorm:
to me it just represents a form of social organization and delegation of mass decisions and such to the most capable. and the best leaders are inspiring, too. i don't know about the not mentioning the leadership, I haven't noticed that

Kate:
A great leader can appear as a shepherd who cares and protects and leads. Though he in reality just shaves and sells wool.

Cops suddenly point guns towards a group of black teenagers in a rich district in order to frisk them for threats. Turns out they were sons of international ambassadors and the government had to issue official apologies. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Police are terrorists/bullies/murderers and should be put on a much stronger legal and litigational leash. They shouldn't be able to just pull guns on people for no reason. Those policemen should have been fired or maybe just punished. And I hope the ambassadors learned something about how rogue the police force is in that (this?) country. The only other thought I have is that it's not really right that an apology would have to be issued to international ambassadors/their children for such a thing but not also to regular citizens. What makes the international ambassadors so much better or more important (in the sense of being worthy of respect) than your average person? I mean obviously it's all necessitated by politics, but politics sucks. Well, it's not just politics, people in general consider people more important and treat them with more respect when they have higher social standing. It's unfortunate. People just blindly conform to and live by various blind psychological forces rather than trying to be self-aware, self-improving, self-actualized, or fair to others..

ColorStorm:
I answered this on Twitter just an hour ago: Good Intentions🖤 @girlthoughts899 What is your favorite donut? Mine is plain cake....judge away. But I love them iyaelsorai @iyaelsorai I like really soft and chewy glazed donuts, like plain Krispy Kreme glazed. Or maple. Strawberry glazed is good too. And I kind of like French Crullers. And apple fritters are pretty good, but I guess those aren't technically donuts. I can't stand any kind of filled donut. And I'm not that thrilled with cake donuts, though the blueberry ones aren't bad. I just bought a pack of pumpkin spice cake donuts the other day and didn't like them at all. I only ate a half of one.

I just downloaded tik tok. One of the first videos recommended to me involved some common "smartphone tips" but at the end of the video the dude showed an engineering menu and told the audience to click a button that was supposed to "reset the battery". I already knew that would bork up battery measurements but I was surprised when I opened the comment section and lots of people fell for that. My question is, are creators like him simply evil or is it just that his audience is dumb? Or both?

ColorStorm:
There's no mutual exclusivity between the person being evil and his audience being dumb. I guess he's evil, I can't be sure he wasn't just in error without seeing the video. As for whether the audience is dumb, I don't know without seeing the option myself so I can tell if it should be obvious that it'll mess up your phone or at least that it won't do what he's saying it will. I mean, maybe you knew because you happened to know some technical details already about that feature or about phones and batteries, or maybe you're just smarter than average?

Story time: so a woman and the bus driver were having a slightly loud conversation. No one cared but mom at some point was fuming and decided to record a video of her. That's when I got off the bus as I couldn't stand her provocation. What would you have done?

ColorStorm:
I don't really think having a loud conversation in public is that huge an offense. And yeah, I think your mom was being unnecessarily provoking by taking the video (assuming she did it in an obvious way or in hopes the lady or the bus driver would notice). I wouldn't have gotten off the bus, myself, but that's just because I'm not independent enough and wouldn't have known how to get wherever I was going. I think your reaction was fair. I may have just told my mom she was overreacting or being unnecessarily confrontational in a low voice, maybe with a somewhat scolding tone. Though my mom wouldn't actually do that.

How would life be different in a world without pillows?

ColorStorm:
Hard to say, pillows would naturally be something that arises in this world as it is because of their utility/the need for them. So, if they didn't exist, the world would have to have been different in such a way that they wouldn't naturally arise. And there are endless possibilities for how it could possibly be different, and the hypothetical doesn't narrow it down at all. But besides that, just not thinking about all the indirect implications, I think if there were no pillows, umm...there would be no pillow fights, and pillow fights aren't that common irl afaik, but the idea of them is iconic as a way of fighting without violence, just being silly, which is important in the world as an anti-violence staple. Also, people might have a lot of neck problems from sleeping without their heads being propped up. I don't know if that causes neck problems or not. It seems like it would be uncomfortable. I think I've done it before, it wasn't that great.

Who would win in a spiritual battle: the Catholic Pope or a group of the world's most powerful mathematicians?

Hard to say. The mathematicians would be more intelligent and would also outnumber the pope, but they'd also likely be physicalists so they'd have little spiritual skill. On the other hand, the pope is Christian so his worldview isn't much more realistic. But in the other other hand, the pope has billions of followerrs, which I suspect gives him lots of spiritual energy.

Spiders, on the other hand, can be venomous and can even kill you if they're the wrong species. So idk. I guess spiders (most of them are harmless).

ColorStorm:
I don't know, does a decent human being give money to homeless people? How much does a decent human being tip waitresses? Does a decent human being help out their friends/family in times of financial need? Is it even truly decent to hoard any amount of wealth at all, as opposed to giving it all away to people in much more dire need of a single dollar than you are? And what of the more abstract psychological costs of being a decent human being? What if, for some people, being decent goes against their nature, their level of emotional advancement and awareness, their true reflexive emotions? I suppose the saying "It costs $0.00 to be a decent human being" is just another memespirational quote. Funnily enough, I just finished slightly revising one of my essays, https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2020/11/30/seeing-most-inspirational-and-motivational-quotes-and-messages-as-spam/ .

Also my mom tells me that there are TikTokers doing things like leaving Coke bottle bombs on the ground to blow random people's arms off, dunno how common that really is. LinkedIn, on the other hand, I find actually disturbing because it shows me how friends I used to have have become totally brainwashed by and immersed in corporate mentality, like their whole minds have been rewired for the purpose of succeeding in the capitalist workforce. Neither of those things is particularly "cringe," though. As for which is worse...I'm not sure.

ColorStorm:
Umm, probably not. First, being rich is overrated. Statistically, money doesn't buy any more happiness at amounts over about $100k/year. Second, they're probably not going to give you any money no matter how well you get to know them. Or are you looking for tips on gaining wealth or hoping their rich mindset will rub off on you? Seems like that's not relevant to the biggest, inherent factors in what makes one rich. Or are you looking for networking to help you build your empire? Maybe that could work.. Third, cults are terrible. They totally consume you and control your mind using various methods. Not susceptible to mind control, you say? Well, then, you'll probably be abused and/or kicked out of the cult.

Obviously, the truth is more important than "moral injury," whatever that is. Especially when many people are spending money on a product that doesn't work, especially especially when they're doing it in lieu of spending on an actual remedy... it's odd that the scientists would be forced to pay restitution for saying the truth. I wonder what country that was in...that's not the way it works in the US and I would guess most countries..

Kate:
@daniel : 4th neutrino? Yay or nay?

ColorStorm:
what's the 4th neutrino?

Kate:
it is a subject of current research in Physics. Neutrinos are very tiny particles that are produced in huge numbers in the sun and interacts with almost nothing. So far we have evidence for three different types of them. But there is growing evidence that hints at the existence of a forth type. That could, if confirmed, be one of the reasons why there is so much matter in the universe and so little anti-matter. And it could solve some other strange observable deviations from the norm.

ColorStorm:
oh, interesting. i know that neutrinos normally shift their identities between the first three types during transit. how does the fourth type play into that?

Kate:
Physics has developed the so called Standard Theory of Particles and their Interactions. This theory is very successful in describing, explaining and predicting the behaviour of all the particles that create the world of Physics and matter and energy. However people put much effort in finding errors and deviations and subjects where the Standard Theory Model fails. That so far has made the theory one of the best proven and attacked theories.

Kate:
If the theory holds true in total there are some corners where it has no comprehensive or sufficient explanation power which would create big problems. But now on stage: the fourth type of neutrinos. It could complete a full set of new possibilities for identity shift that would fit some puzzling data that we cannot explain with the so far known three types.

Kate:
Not that it is the holy grail. If there is that fourth flavour of neutrino it also creates problems elsewhere. In any case the Standard Model needs some rethinking and some new ideas and maybe a revision. That there is more happening in nature than meets the eye is clear. But a such well proven and well established theory isn't easy to abandon as it has proven its power to explain so many other things with unprecedented precision. So new areas of Physics might be around the corner which is quite exciting!

My 15 year old cousin is dating a 24 year old dude. Thoughts?

ColorStorm:
I see nothing wrong with that. It's totally consensual. Contrary to popular belief, 15-year-olds aren't mindless and unable to legitimately decide if they want to be in a relationship with someone. And there's nothing inherently immoral about age gaps. https://retrospring.net/@ColorStorm/a/112344428777479749

LaDamaX:
Very big developmental gap between these two ages. There is a 4 year age gap between me and my husband. It was fine when we met. However, that would not have been ok at say 10 and 14 or 12 and 16. Do you know some girls don’t even get there periods until 15?!!! 🙄

ColorStorm:
The developmental gap may pose some relationship challenges (or it may not), but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be given the freedom to be in the relationship and work it out for themselves, as opposed to everyone being hysterical regarding people who are underage and thinking that them being with an adult is an absolute abomination that should be stopped and prevented at all costs. As for the period thing, most get it a couple of years earlier, and even if she got it at 15, she still got it.

ColorStorm:
If the guy's just grooming her, then yes, that would be a problem.

LaDamaX:
Nope. I am the epitome of HYSTERICAL.

AJS:
Agreed that there's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with consensual age-gap relationships. In my opinion, age-gap relationships are great and are arguably the best. Society is insane and extremely ageist against young people/minors. Ageism against minors is the new racism. Nature differentiates childhood and adulthood with the ability to reproduce not arbitrary legal lines. Teenagers are biologically young adults not children.

AJS:
Females usually want older males and males want younger females. That's normal and it will always be that way no matter how much people screech about it. The age hysteria shit needs to stop. Society doesn't give a shit about kids. Society doesn't even consider kids people with rights until they turn 18. Society just wants something to be hysterical about. Society also loves using kids as an excuse to violate rights.

The most honest player in a capitalist economy is the beggar. However, it is also the least powerful player, with basically no bargaining power to gain money. On the other hand, the scammer is the least honest, but since there are some regulations in place, it isn't the most powerful player. Is capitalism an inherently dishonest system and therefore regulations are an inadequate solution?

ColorStorm:
I don't think an economic system is either inherently honest or dishonest -- people are -- but an economic system can *encourage* dishonesty, profiteering, or whatever, and I think capitalism does. I think it's sick and shockingly destructive that we take for granted that corporations are entities without conscience, that will do anything and everything they can to augment their bottom line, as if that's just the way it should be. And that's what you get under capitalism. Clearly, regulations aren't enough; otherwise, you wouldn't have capitalists destroying our health and the ecosphere at large, exploiting workers, manipulating people into consuming, etc. And even if regulations theoretically could eliminate all these things, they wouldn't, because large corporations actually have enough money and power to bribe legislators. They even literally write many if not most of the bills passed before congress, for f***s sake.

No, I've been to Paris once, but I don't think we went to Disneyland. Actually, I think Disneyland Paris didn't exist then.

fizzyarthur:
Would you rather fall in love or rise in love?

ColorStorm:
Good one. Once in a philosophy room someone said he was falling in love with some woman, and I said, don't fall in love, rise in love! And he said thanks. Obviously, rising in love is better. Rising connotes freedom, upliftment, etc. And of course, people rise when they "fall in love" anyway, "falling in love" is, after all, a figure of speech, but there could be some truth in that unconscious choice of words. Maybe people do indeed typically fall in the sense of being out of control, sinking into a denser medium, etc. It reminds me of the lyrics of Johnny Cash's song 'Ring of Fire'. I think visualizing "falling in love" as "rising in love" might make it a bit more conscious, uplifting a process.

How does she know the object wasn't for good fortune? Witchcraft is abput more than just placing hexes... to answer your question, though, no, bullying (or placing hexes, for that matter) is never wise.

Did you think people who have been abused, have the right to kill there abuser?

ColorStorm:
I don't think there are any natural/inherent human rights. If there were, then they wouldn't be able to be violated, or else what would it mean to have a natural right? Rights are things given to us by law. And the law doesn't allow vigilante/revenge killings. So no, we don't have that right. *Should* we have that right? As much as I like hearing about bullies and other kinds of abusers being harmed or killed, I know that's wrong, and philosophically I don't believe in vengeance/retribution, so I'd say no. https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2017/02/05/is-hatred-ever-truly-justified/

You have to tell the receptionist here and if it's two problems you have to book 2 appointments. If you ask while in with the doctor the doctor will tell you to book another appointment.

What's something you would rather not do alone?

ColorStorm:
Watch TV. One reason being that I suspect/feel/sense that when two or more people watch TV together, them all perceiving the same visuals/audio/stories at the same time somewhat synchronizes their minds, largely on an unconscious/superconscious level, so they somewhat share perceptions and perspectives. Each mind helps serve to frame the thoughts/reactions of each other mind, and to fill in things they would otherwise not have "gotten." And I love this sort of communion.

I've often had things happen in dreams that correspond to things that are about to happen IRL.

Have you ever had a deep clean at the dentist?

ColorStorm:
Yes, several. It's no fun, but it's probably still better than getting a cavity filled or a root canal and crown put in. The last time I only got one side done, I forget what happened where I didn't get the other done, but when they were going to do it years later, there was some problem with the insurance. Then I went back a while later and they tried again, saying they'd call me when the insurance clears to make an appointment, and they never called me. And I'm not paying $400 out of pocket for something that's probably not even necessary anyway. So it looks like I won't be getting any more deep cleanings done.

Kate:
The 80/20 principle. Relationships: 80% giving, 20% receiving. - Does it mean I must shove 60% giving down my friends throat and vice versa?

ColorStorm:
Well, I'd say whatever you do regarding friendship, it should come naturally. So don't "force" yourself to conform to the 80/20 rule. And who made that rule up anyway? Obviously, each friendship is unique. And to say nothing of the fact that the rule doesn't even make logical sense. If one gives 80% and the other only receives 20%, where did those extra 60% go? I.e., it would only be logical for each person to receive exactly as much as the other gives, so it should be 50/50 or some other pair that adds up to 100, or even more than 100 because of the effect of synergy/positive-sum "games." And one more thing, giving, whether forced or not, shouldn't amount to shoving something down someone's throat...that implies vulgarity, inconvenience, force, deleteriousness. I mean, if you'd have to "shove it down their throat," it'd probably better for them that you not give. EDIT: Er I mean I know that 80/20 does actually add up to 100, but by the wording it seems to be saying that each person gives 80% and receives 20%. It would be more logical if, for example, one person gave 80% and received 20% and the other person gave 20% and received 80%.

Kate:
I love when somebody else deconstructs such weird ideas. :)

Is it a good thing when the bank increases your credit card limit? Mine just tripled.

ColorStorm:
Sean has a good point. I think it can only be a good thing if you're smart, because it comprises an increase in your freedom/ability with how much you want to charge at once. In other words, you *can* now charge three times as much, but you don't *have* to. But on the other hand, it's easy to fall into a bigger trap that way if you're not smart/careful. Another good thing about it is that it probably indicates your credit score is increasing. Well, I guess in your country they don't have credit scores, idk.

Unfortunately credit scores are a thing. Experian holds the largest marketshare in that business.

We have cans of *condensed* milk where we live which I guess are shelf-stable, and my dad buys them or at least used to buy them, but I don't know what for.

Andy:
What are your thoughts on Artificial Intelligence?

ColorStorm:
My primary thought about AI is just how impressed I am that it actually works. It's been like over a year since ChatGPT came out, and practically every time I see it answer a question I'm still amazed that it can be that smart. And of course other types of AI are pretty good too, but LLMs take the cake for me. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good thing. I see it as "polluting" mediums of communication and expression meant to be between people. The thought of people using LLMs to, for example, write an article, without ever attributing it to AI, is disturbing to me. And I'm sorry, but AI "art" is *not* art. Art is made by conscious beings. Yes, you have to be creative enough to write a prompt, but that's no more or less of a work of art then simply publishing your prompts...which of course no one would do. And I think viewing art created by AI, or even text for that matter, is a subtle cognitohazard, not unlike making love to a sexbot would be. And of course there's the problem of AI taking jobs...where will it end? But that aspect is rather paradoxical. Ideally, cheap labor should be good for everybody, a boon to the economy. But since the economy is set up so that you have to have a job to make money, it actually becomes a problem. But maybe when the time comes that AI replaces most people's jobs, we can restructure the distribution of wealth so that most people live for free...I'm not sure. There's the problem of lacking incentive to work. Perhaps that can be solved by distributing a premium of wealth to the few people who work to do the jobs that still need done. I also think it's wrong to think AI will necessarily go so much further just as an extrapolation from what we have now. The only technology we have now for AGI works, from the ground up, by training on human data, so it can't possibly become any smarter than some moderate level of human intelligence. And I think it's silly to think AI will either destroy or save the world. Whatever ideas AI has to implement world peace or whatever, it will always have to be chosen to be executed by humans, and corruption, greed and ideology will always be mediating factors. And the most fundamental problems with the world aren't technical or hard problems meant to be solved by idea-men, they're actually just that people need to be better to each other, and nobody wants to. AI can't change that. Related essays of mine: (AI Will Neither Save Nor Destroy the World)[https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2023/05/02/ai-will-neither-save-nor-destroy-the-world/], (Why AI Won't Save the World)[https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2023/01/28/why-ai-wont-save-the-world/], *On the Possibility of Artificial General Intelligence)[https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2019/09/13/on-the-possibility-of-artificial-general-intelligence/], (Cheap Labor Vs Jobs)[https://philosophy.inhahe.com/2016/11/23/this-is-a-test/]

I've come to the conclusion that Brazil is a fourth world country. Do you know any third world country that is easy to immigrate, cheap to live in, and friendly for English-speaking people?

ColorStorm:
Maybe the Philippines. Disclaimer: The Philippines is the only fourth world country I have experience with. But it's very cheap, at least to eat. I remember ordering like 20 dishes for a ridiculously cheap price, and it was tasty too. I'd bet it's easy to immigrate into too just because it's poor. I forget how well the natives speak English, but I would probably remember if it were an issue. And nobody was rude to us for speaking English that I remember.

Its political scenario as well as its history seems as bad as Brazil's. Philippines is a big no.

Mainly, I just felt surprised. I didn't really get angry. She was actually surprised that I handled it so well. (She also apologized several times and hugged me afterward, for the record.) It was completely unexpected (except that she preceded it with "I'm going to hit you"). I had set off a whipper snapper with my fingers just to show her I could do it, and she got triggered because she was afraid of loud noises which I didn't know.

What do you think about Putins thoughts?

ColorStorm:
Can you tell me his thoughts, so I can comment on what I think about them? I did read part of an essay he wrote about his purpose in attacking Ukraine, why he wanted to establish dominance over the West, but I don't remember it much. I mean I think there was something about capitalism being the evil empire and it being unfair how America and ended up becoming dominant. I don't really unequivocally hate everything Putin thinks like most Westerners, I'm kind of a sympathizer...I don't really have a strong opinion on what's best between socialism and capitalism, but I actually tend toward democratic socialism myself. But I know Russia is rather authoritarian which I don't like. But it's probably not as bad as it's made out to be by Western propaganda and ideology. As for whether Putin should have attacked Ukraine or should try to take over the world, I understand his motives, but I think he shouldn't, not only because war is inherent tragic but because his ambitions could lead to a global nuclear war, which would be utterly catastrophic.

Kate:
Putin has no ideology, neither capitalism nor communism, his sole center of gravity seems to be his own person and the power in his own hands. Anything else is just not important. So everything that might lead to adding to his own gravitas, dignity and grace is highly welcome.

Do you do online-dating? How much does it cost?

ColorStorm:
There are a couple of free dating sites, the ones I know of are mingle2 and OkCupid, but online dating really is a nightmare because like 99% of the profiles are scammers, and if not that then honeypot profiles set up by the companies themselves. OkCupid seems to be relatively good with having real members, but even it seems to have been getting worse lately. Even though OkCupid is essentially free, I pay for it so I can see my likes. I forget what the cost is, maybe like $10 a month. They said a long time ago they would never charge for access, but they seem to have crippled the free accounts more and more over time. I once paid for Zoosk. That was a real scam and a half. They kept asking me to pay for more and more things, like for example after I already paid to be a real member, they asked me to pay another $60 to be able to send and receive messages to/from anyone. That should have already been included! And not only that, after I paid for that, not a single person replied to me (which is unusual for me), so I doubt they actually gave me the capability. After I paid for all the things they manipulated me into paying, it was like over $160. I don't know how representative Zoosk is of a typical dating site.

Do you know the book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" ? If yes, did you see the Zen in it and if not, do you think you could see the Zen in a book?

ColorStorm:
I know of the book, but I never read it. Several times I thought I should probably read it, but I never got around to it. By the time I ever considered it more seriously, I had read that it was outdated. I can imagine seeing Zen in a book. If I even know what Zen is. I can also easily imagine the Zen of a book escaping me, though.

Kate:
haha, Zen is something you do, not something to think, so you can find it in principle in any action. However all actions are highly distracting and usually hinder you to do Zen, so doing nothing is a good method to do Zen. Doing nothing but staring at your bike while contemplating the formal way of changing the oil filter might do as well.

Kate:
When you do nothing, contemplate anything, and let the world stream through you are always close to the sort of doing nothing that allows you to do Zen. For the mere mortals it is good to do Zen in a Dojo because people there support the effort by helping you to prevent to sleep, haha!

Kate:
Me, I am personally the sort of person doing Zen while walking. There are different ways to do zen. Most feel it is good to just sit and meditate, a few others need to walk and let their eyes fill up with and immerse with the pictures of the world. I am of that latter type though I also go to a Dojo and just sit there. As walking is an action it is also a possible distraction like any other thing.

Kate:
You just can use any action your body and mind can use as a method to find your meditative state. Some can find it even while knitting or driving a bike. Driving a bike can be very effective as your eyes and mind get overfilled with pictures of the world and totally push you in a state of unfocused and effortless driving. It is not like sleeping or ignoring the world.

I've filled out dozens of applications and even requested to see the manager and never gotten any response, and then I've applied for a job for two places in one day and got both of them. What made the difference is that the time I got both of them, I *really*, *truly* wanted a job, and I reached out for it with my energy. All the other times, I wasn't really interested, I just believed I had no better choice. Another thing that got me a job once was that I called the place once a week every week after I applied, asking them if they had any openings. One week somebody had just quit, so she hired me.

Shannon:
I don't want any job, I need a job as I need to pay bills.

I learned another feminist term at work today. What's your opinion on "manspreading" and why is it so annoying? 🙄

ColorStorm:
It represents male aggression and ego with particular focus on their genitalia. It's primitive/animalistic and also selfish/inefficient--when someone manspreads, there's less seating room for everyone else. So it simultaneously represents a lot of things that are wrong with humanity.

AJS:
There's no such thing as "manspreading." That's a retarded, nonsensical/bullshit term made up by feminazi misandrists. Feminists are so entitled and sexist against men that they think they can tell men how to sit. There's nothing wrong with men sitting normally/with their legs spread. Feminists are just man-hating cunts who invent excuses to complain about men. Men can sit with their legs spread/normally. Men don't need women's permission to sit comfortably.

Do you think politicians act due to being a power addict? You know the grind, lying, stealing, crimes, faking remorse, lying, stealing .. just to get power again which is their drug? - What does that make their voters? Pimps?

ColorStorm:
Some of them do, I think. I don't think it's all.

Kate:
..what about the voters?

ColorStorm:
I think it's probably less common among voters/the general population than among politicians.

Kate:
Then why do they get so many votes?

ColorStorm:
Because they're skilled at giving a public appearance that's desirable by many people, including telling people what they want to hear, having popular values, etc. Even if most people were power addicts, liars, thieves, etc., that'd be no reason they'd want to elect any other power addict, liar, and thief than themselves..

Where do you think is the place on Earth that is farthest away from its centre? (Trick question obviously)

ColorStorm:
The peak of Mount Everest. But not necessarily, because the earth bulges at the equator, so it could possibly be some mountain at the equator, or a hill if there are no mountains there. Why is this a trick question?

Kate:
It is a trick question because people think it is Mount Everest as that is the highest mountain. Interestingly most will not know or ignore that Earth bulges at the equator and actually a high mountain top at the equator is further away from the Earth centre there. It is the Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador actually. The bulge of Earth at the equator adds on average about 2km distance!

Music question: what's one of your favourite beats?

ColorStorm:
If by "beats" you don't mean songs but the literal beats of the songs, then I guess the beat in Marina Diamandis - Forget. Here's what I wrote about it in my favorite songs list: "I just love the way this song sounds, and Marina Diamandis is ridiculously cute. One thing I particularly like about this song is the beat, which sounds seems to unfold in a way that it keeps me on my toes yet isn't outright chaotic, which is awesome. Like it changes just a little bit—skips a beat, adds a beat, etc.—at just the right times...later on I found out that Marina had been disappointed with the beats that were made for her, so she just makes her own beats. Amazing that she came up with a beat that's better than any other beat I've heard."

fizzyarthur:
While it is boring, I wonder what makes them think it's the exact opposite of boring. Like, why can't I derive fun from such a thing too?

ColorStorm:
You mean why can't you derive fun from their talking about their fetishes, or from you talking about yours? I think you mean the latter. I guess some people are just more dense to what others are likely thinking and feeling in response to them than others...maybe as a matter of emotional intelligence levels.

Nope, I'm talking about learning to enjoy whatever weirdness they enjoy.

Oh, it's just random psychological dispositions...everybody's different...I mean you might as well ask why some people are afraid of heights and some aren't, or some are mean and some are nice, etc.

Do you think balloons, when popped, are too loud for such a small object? I don't know how that's physically possible.

ColorStorm:
Kate had a good point. Imagine how much noise a subwoofer can make. Now think of how little it actually moves.. edit: Actually, a normal speaker - not a subwoofer - would be an even better example because it moves even less compared to its apparent loudness, and balloons also pop at frequencies higher than subwoofer sounds. It makes sense that the popping of a balloon would be like the motion of a speaker when you consider that the air inside the balloon is suddenly all decompressing at once. This is actually not too unlike what happens during an explosion.. edit edit: "If you yell heartily and continuously for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you will have produced sound energy enough to heat a single cup of coffee!" -Google

I sort of collect shirts, pants, shoes, hats, and sunglasses I like, and when I see one I like, I *have* to have it. I think I may have actually paid over $100 for shoes once, Nike, I'm not really sure. I have no idea what the most I would pay for clothes is. I guess it's somewhere around $200-$300 for a single item if it were cool enough.

In a scale from 0 to 10, how successful was that operation?

ColorStorm:
Well, it depends on how you define success. It was successful at meeting its goal, apparently. But I wouldn't say it was very propitious overall. It's not worth the lives of three innocents (and I'm not sure about the heavy traffic). Also, the value depends on who owned this cargo / whose loss would it be? Some individual's who's not extremely wealthy, or some large evil corporation? And how much money was the cargo worth?

Another political question: the far-right mayor candidate is using straight-up illegal campaign tactics to get elected. Literally no city councillors want to support his candidacy. Besides bringing people from another city to work for his campaign here, a local newspaper is actively distributing an abnormal amount of newspapers containing lies about the centrist candidate for free. Federal police is also investigating other crimes. Do you think I should leave this city if he manages to win?

Probably not, the motivation to move out if such-and-such political thing happens is usually just out of frustration due to powerlessness. It's probably not really worth it. And like Kate says, you'll see bullsh\*t like that probably almost everywhere.

filialunae:
are you sensitive? what does that word mean to?

ColorStorm:
To me, the word sensitive has two different meanings determinable by context. One is that the person is highly emotionally affected by things, especially things like insults, anger and other forms of negativity directed at them. The other is related, it's about being affected emotionally but not in the sense of being weak, it's more about the ability to emotionally relate and accommodate and such. If a guy says he's "sensitive," or a woman says she wants a "sensitive" guy, they're probably talkin about the latter meaning. By default/normally, though, I take "sensitive" to mean the first thing. Personally, I'm waaaaaay too sensitive. So much so that I can't even function. A friend of mine once compared me to a deer in the headlights and said I'm "one in millions."

filialunae:
that’s true, I’ve heard sensitive in that context a lot but I’d say a better word in that instance would be empathetic.

"Life is a progression of things gradually losing their importance until nothing matters anymore, and then we die." Thoughts? What is the most recent thing you lost interest in?

Well, that statement is a reduction, and it sits solely on the negative side of life (or maybe it's saying things not mattering is a good thing, I don't know). Life is many things, though yeah, it's true that it's a dark world. But, as some things get worse as we age (such as our declining looks and health), other things get better. 1. we get wiser, and 2.

Why do humans find certain landscapes beautiful?

ColorStorm:
The presumed answer is that it's a purely evolutionary-psychological development--that we find certain landscapes and other aspects of nature beautiful because they're the context we evolved in--but I don't partlicularly buy it. I think beauty, though it has a strong subjective aspect, is essentially inherent, universal and cosmic in nature, and certain landscapes are beautiful because all of nature is fundamentally alive and hence is an expression of life. Non-dualism, such as is taught by certain enlightened persons, is one relevant philosophy here. I remember someone recounting how as a baby or toddler he was riding in a car and looking out at the landscape and experienced himself as not being separate from the landscape. It was a truly blissful and boundless feeling that he misses. I suspect all people experience this at a young enough age before the develop a sense of "self vs other" that's delineated at the bounds of their bodies.

Octopus: Friend, foe, or meal? Why?

ColorStorm:
Neither meal nor foe because they're very intelligent (they have about the intelligence of a 5-year-old human) and also very special. They might as well be aliens. I think I've heard they have about 50% of their DNA in common with us, and that's about the same percentage of DNA we have in common with fungus. They seem not closely related to anything else, IIRC. Though I don't know if I would exactly call them "friends" because with their weird looks, they're not exactly relatable. Or maybe I do love them...I'm not sure.

Why do so many people shoplift stuff?

ColorStorm:
I didn't know so many people shoplift; maybe it's different in Brazil, or maybe I'm just not aware of how much shoplifting goes on. But if a lot of people shoplift, I'd say it's because they lack integrity or values...they only do the right thing when there are consequences to doing the right/wrong thing that apply to them. In the case of shoplifting, as long as you're confident you won't get caught, there's no consequences to them personally. I guess it's possible that they also just want to 'stick it to the man'; maybe they hate the corporation because they know corporations are evil and profiteering and wealthy, so they don't feel bad about stealing from them, but I wouldn't necessarily give them that much credit. Also, they may fail to realize that it could be someone lower on the food chain who has to eat that loss who isn't filthy rich.

Why do airplanes stall? Even under unfavorable weather, shouldn't the pilots be able to maintain flight, assuming the engines are in good condition?

ColorStorm:
I guess one reason would be the engine *isn't* in good condition, or the fuel line broke or something. But besides that, engines stall when a plane tries to climb at too steep an altitude. With the air not flowing as quickly, it puts too much resistance on the propellor, more than the engines are made to withstand. A good pilot should know how steeply he can safely ascend, though. {disclaimer: i don't really know much about this}

A plane just crashed due to stalling in some city here, and they were actually close to the airport for landing. After seeing some videos, it seems a strong gust and not enough speed caused the plane to fall.

ColorStorm:
I guess a strong gust coming from behind, especially if the plane was traveling slowly, would have the same effect as climbing too fast: slower wind hitting the propellers and so more resistance. idk.

Kate:
Is luck for the lazy and success for the hard working? Think about this and find the contradiction in this claim. Why are such claims on a regular basis so wrong, stupid but authoritarian?

ColorStorm:
Luck can probably hit the lazy and the hard-working equally. And being hard-working alone usually isn't enough for success.

Kate:
Exactly, you nailed it, so how can somebody with some sense post that claim as the 11th commandment on the internet and not be looking like a stupid ideologist?

ColorStorm:
idk, many people are very dumb! personally i haven't seen that particular statement on the internet. i can sort of see why someone would believe that hard work leads to success, though. the belief serves their interests. they want to believe that they deserve their success more than all the unsuccessful people simply because they supposedly work hard. that way they can think life is totally fair and they can hoard their wealth with a free conscience. idk.

Kate:
Yeah, it is a means to look down upon those who are less lucky and attribute the own luck to hard work. So you keep yourself in a superior position inside your own mind. lol. Sad.

I don't know what hardly any of those are, so I'm not sure, I just like the standard straight-down jeans that aren't too wide and aren't too narrow, or at least that's what I liked back when I used to wear jeans a long time ago. I *only* wore green ones. They were easier to find back then. =P

ColorStorm:
On my phone I block all incoming calls from numbers not in my contacts. But if you can't do that, there's an app called TrueCaller which is supposed to block spam calls. For a monthly fee you can get a constantly updated blacklist, but I think you can block fewer spam calls for free. I stopped using it because I was still getting too many spam calls.

Oh, I forgot to mention it's with TrueCaller that I block all numbers not in my contacts. When I said "I stopped using it," I didn't mean TrueCaller, I meant its spam blocking function.

US question: if trump were allied with Russia and Harris with China, which of all candidates would you vote for?

ColorStorm:
I'd vote for Harris either way because she's by far the less pathological and dangerous candidate, but also Putin literally wants to change the shape of the political world so that Russia is dominant again. He said as much in an essay. His attack on Ukraine was meant to only be the beginning. So in that case Trump as President would impose a much bigger threat of global nuclear war. (Trump being allied with Russia wouldn't exactly make the US an ally of Russia, but it would give Russia more power to effect their agenda, resulting in a power struggle that culminates in nuclear war.) Not that I really know anything about politics. Oh, and naturally if Trump were allied with Russia and Harris were allied with China, that would indicate that being allied with China is the smarter, saner, more widely beneficial allegiance.

ColorStorm:
I don't even know anything about Harris, but I know she's by far less pathological and dangerous because (a) she's not Trump, and (b) she's a Democrat.

Why do plane seats have different prices for the exact same seat on the same flight but it's the row behind? 😅

ColorStorm:
Idk, maybe what Arthur said? Though planes are pretty safe anyway, your chances of dying in a plane crash, at least in a commercial airliner, are pretty slim. But I think turbulence is a bigger problem for planes in the back than in the front, and turbulence is very inconvenient and at worst can break your bones. Also, seats further away from the engines have less noise. And also it could be a factor that seats closer to an escape hatch may be preferable to some people, unless it's right at the escape hatch, in which case people might prefer not being there because they'd have have the responsibility of opening it if there's a crash. (And yeah, crashes are again rare, but the stewardess has to take some time before the flight to teach you how to open it and stuff..)

Shannon:
It's economy so it's safer than first class or business class anyway and they are at the front of the plane. If someone dies on a plane they put the dead body at the back of the plane so I don't know why anyone would want to be more money to sit next to a dead person if someone does die on the plane. 😅

Shannon:
They seats with more leg room were cheaper as well which makes no sense.

So when you book a flight you don't have to book a seat they will just give you a random one, if you book a seat you pay more for that specific seat.

If you smoke, what brand? If not, what's the perception on smokers?

ColorStorm:
My perception on smokers is that they represent one of humanity's worst qualities: groupthink/thinking socially/following peers instead of thinking rationally. This is the root of a large percentage of the world's problems. Smokers represent this mentality because it makes no sense whatsoever to start smoking when it's obvious that everyone who smokes gets addicted to it for life and it's a huge money drain and horrible for your health, yet people smoke anyway just because they see everyone else doing it.

Do you think keyboard warriors should be arrested?

ColorStorm:
I don't know what a keyboard warrior is. I've never heard of that term. I suppose it's someone who chronically sits behind a computer keyboard and advocates for some particular cause, but I don't know what types of causes are typically associated with the term. But regardless of what causes we're talking about, no. Freedom of speech should be a fundamental right. Anything else is oppressive and totalitarian, to say nothing of the fact that whatever ideology the government or the majority upholds, against whatever other ideology, isn't necessarily wise, beneficial, correct, informed, reasoned or reasonable, free of bias, or even sane, and this is why freedom of speech is necessary for social progress. It's true that some free speech is genuinely and perhaps acutely destructive, particularly hate speech, but whether or not we should prevent hate speech ideally, we shouldn't really do it in the real world, because in the real world, as long as the law or company policy allows itself to encroach on any free speech at all, it'll eventually overstep its bounds, or at least it won't be perfectly wise and right, and could even be treacherously wrong, about what it thinks is right or wrong speech. It may even abuse the law or policy and manipulate public opinion by labeling whatever it doesn't like as "hate speech" or whatever other thing it officially disallows or incriminates. This is actually happening already. On the other hand, and maybe I contradict myself, I must admit that I do appreciate filtering out misinformation that deleteriously and dangerously influences public opinion, mostly regarding politics. Or not even necessarily filtering it out, but at least doing something like adding "community notes" to the posts correcting the misinformation like Twitter does. I know some people complain that whoever decides what is misinformation or not may be wrong or biased, but in my experience it seems to be reasonable/fair and objective/more informed. I also appreciate when social platforms use The Algorithm to give more Democratic/liberal views more publicity and lessen the publicity of more Republican/conservative views. This probably isn't technically a violation of free speech--it's not like it's deleting conservative posts--but it does seem to go against the spirit of what I said above about free speech. But it's just so sad, depressing and angering to see the popularity and subsequent effects of selfish, narrowminded/moralistic, dumb, religious, rash, egoistic/hyperindividualistic, misinformed and deluded and prone to conspiracy theorization, cultish, full of conviction (even to the point of deliberately undermining democracy, such as by gerrymandering, voter suppression laws and the pettiness of the GOP in congress purposely making the Democrats look bad by blocking all their efforts whether the GOP actually agrees with them or not), regressive, libertarian/anti-regulatory, anti-welfare and anti-social services, wealth-imbalance-enabling, unempathetic/discompassionate, antisocial, discriminatory (sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic), nationalistic/Jingoistic conservative ideology/psychology. In fact, the fate of the world and the survival of humanity and the rest of the biosphere depends on defeating conservative ideology, because it's anti-environmentalist. That being said, I don't universally, conformistically agree with all Democratic/liberal ideology, because I'm an independent thinker. For example, I'm pro-life or at least ambivalent on the matter, and I hate wokism/PC culture (or at least certain aspects of it, such as cancel culture; word policing; interpreting totally innocuous things as racist, sexist, etc.; forcing inappropriate or disproportionate representation of other ethnicities, sexual orientations, etc. in media; and the Academy Award committee awarding films based on a checklist of woke elements they contain rather than by actual quality), I believe there are two genders, I'm a gender essentialist, and I don't believe it's possible to change one's sex. But the conservative ideology is overall so much worse that it's worth siding with the Democrats, as to some degree/in some contexts you basically have no choice but to side with one or the other party wholesale.

Since my first days on the internet, I never liked the idea of anonymity, and always used my real name and photo when talking with people online. What about you?

ColorStorm:
I don't use my real name, not so much because I want privacy but because that's stuffy and nerdy and my handles are more aesthetic and expressive. Except on Facebook, because Facebook requires it (well I guess not really, but the registration form asks for it and most people on there use their real names) and Facebook is made to connect with friends, family, acquaintances, co-workers, etc. so it helps if they can find you by name. I don't use my real picture generally, but I do on Facebook (again, it's the norm there) and dating sites (for obvious reasons) and I think I've uploaded real pictures of me on past social Q&A sites when they allowed multiple pictures (i.e., I probably didn't use real pics as my pfp's). I also have a bunch of pictures of me on Instagram, and two of them on Deviantart. I don't care about anonymity. I have a personal website that has a pic of me, shows my real name, and has links to maybe two dozen online accounts of mine, and the personal website is discoverable from my blog URL, and I include links to my blog in many of my bios. I just don't really feel like there's any real danger to it, and I've never been one to care much about security in general. Even if I were to get an Internet stalker/harasser, it's just the internet, it's highly unlikely they would bother to find out where I live and book a plane ticket and come over and shoot me or something. And I've never gotten an internet stalker yet anyway, people just don't care about me.

In the future, everything will be quite durable and have user-replaceable parts. Do you agree?

ColorStorm:
No, I doubt it. Like cLOUD said, companies make flimsy products because that makes more profit, and companies don't give a shit about anything but making as much profit as humanly possible. Products are actually significantly less durable than they were just a few decades ago, and also less likely to have user-replaceable parts or to be repaired in general as opposed to just throwing them away and buying replacements. Companies make more money when the product doesn't last as long or when it's repairable, because then you have to buy another one sooner, and also because it's cheaper to make it less durable. And that doesn't really translate to lower sales much, because you can't easily tell just how durable or not durable a product is before you buy it, so price point becomes a lot more important than quality for competition, and of course making cheaper, less durable products allows you to set a lower price point. And also because the entire market now makes cheap, non-durable and non-repairable products, so the consumer doesn't have much choice. And it's also possible that even if informed, people don't spend money linearly with quality level but prefer the immediate returns of spending less money, because they're poor or frugal or they just don't think they'll be using the product that long anyway, or perhaps because they don't care as much about the long run in life, their distant future benefit, as they do about the present and near future. Some things seem to support the latter possibility, such as lack of financial investments (this is why we needed social security), smoking, and unhealthy diet. I suspect the reason stuff has become less and less durable over time is that business practices (including advertising) are constantly going from more innocent and conscientious/moral/decent to to more and more profiteering, exploitative, dishonest and manipulative because always one company discovers that they can use such and such evil or shady tactic, or just decides to be brazen enough to do it, and then they've broached the issue and all the other companies eventually follow suit, because really they value profit over morality, they're just unconsciously moral and human about an issue, through pure inertia, before they see that it can be done differently, and they're also their audacity is propped up by the fact that someone else is doing it, that makes it seem more okay to stoop to their level, somewhat the same way a friend can be a bad influence on another friend. Or it's not necessarily that they're moral unconsciously and out of pure inertia and just value profit more, it's probably a bit more nuanced: in their heart or spirit they value good will or at least decency, but their valuation of profit is more conscious or overt, as the benefits of good will are a lot less obvious. I mean it's obvious how it benefits others, but it's not as obvious why you should benefit others. Love and altruism are founded in transpersonal awareness/the liminal awareness of the unity of all beings, so that you value another's wellbeing as much as your own, because you know that they're you, or you see yourself in them. This kind of knowledge is far from obvious, and most minds never grasp it on a conscious level, though they do channel this knowledge or actuality in degrees and in unknowing ways in their emotions and such--you can't help it, it's what you're made of--which is why love, compassion and altruism exist in this world. But while I'm on the subject of love, I might as well be complete: Love is not just about the fact that all beings are ultimately one, it's about and endless history over many lifetimes in many worlds, including parallel lifetimes, of interaction involving drama, bonding, play, joy, saving, growing, daring, working together toward a goal to serve something bigger than you, etc. with others--more with some individuals than others, or at least some in a more "near" way in the scape of everything, which is why we say we have "soulmates" and "soul families" and why we sometimes feel like we've known someone we just met all our lives. Our love, cherishing, and adoration of each other--of everyone for everyone--on the spirit level is greater than we can possibly imagine as incarnated human beings. Also, another important point is that your love for every individual person is wholly unique and specific to them, because it's an appreciation of everything they are, of their true nature, and everyone's personality and essence is unique. I suppose it's also about your specific history with them, as explained above, and that would be unique, too. But I digress. Oh, I forgot I was going to say above, while products will probably become flimsier and less repairable in the foreseeable future, in the distant future, who knows. It's possible that society will become enlightened/saved/uplifted/matured eventually, perhaps after this cycle of the Kali Yuga ends, which could be in the far, far future. Or maybe there will be a revolution/government overthrow because it gets so bad that people get tired of their sh\*t, and what replaces it will not have been corrupted by big money yet (this is a gradual process because it's a self-reinforcing cycle: the more big money corrupts government, the more they're able to enact further avenues for corruption within government, and the richer they can get to enable further corruption), so maybe it will have stricter regulations that make companies make better products, or it will make the knowledge of product quality more publicly available. I actually have hope now that the salvation/enlightenment/upliftment of humanity will happen a lot sooner than I thought, after I read the first third or so of 'Chronicles From The Future: The amazing story of Paul Amadeus Dienach'. A guy in 1921 went into a coma for a year, and his consciousness/mind spent the whole time in another person's body from the year 3900-something who had nearly died and had been frozen just in time and then revived. He remembered everything, lots of details such as names of people and cities and plenty of other things about them, lots of experiences, conversations, etc., the looks of various buildings and other installments and communities with vast ranges of buildings, their language, the nature and history of their government and various agencies, the workings of their economy, etc. The society he describes is ideal. The people are spiritual, wise, childlike, playful, beautiful, inspired, happy, free, without crime, happy to serve the community, and directly aware of cosmic truth (but not all of it; they recognize that most of it is impossible for them to understand), and thanks to technology they only have to work for 2 years of their lives, though some of them choose to work a lot longer because they want to serve society. They say that a few hundred years ago a certain guy came along who was able to withstand the bliss of a new way of being, that had killed thousands of people before, and he taught everyone else how to do the same. This is where all their happiness, wisdom, childlikeness, spiritual awareness, etc. came from. But, IMO, there's no guarantee that this will happen on this timeline. It should be impossible for the future to affect and interact with its own past, because that would create causal paradoxes, and not just if you kill your own grandfather or something, it would happen regardless, because everything you do in the past would affect the future to some degree via chaos theory, and those differences, however minor, would affect the agent who affects the past, which would change how he affects the past, which would change the future, etc. etc. ad infinitum. Not only is it an unresolvable infinite loop, not even the first step can happen because that would imply not only change over time but change of the entire timeline over some second dimension of time, or meta-time, and there's no reason to suppose such a thing exists. Also, in physics all evidence points to causality being non-deterministic, because of the presence of absolute randomness, so as long as time is actually going forward there can be no guarantee it'll progress in any one specific way, so there can't be any guarantee it'll arrive at that future. And just the guy's coming back (when he woke up from the coma) and telling us about the future could affect our timeline in such a way, perhaps through the butterfly effect, or perhaps by reverse psychology or jinxing it, that that future never manifests or more or less does much, much later. Or of course there could also be some other explanation for the man's experiences than that he actually visited the future, but it doesn't seem like a likely hallucination event to me. A lot of skeptics would probably just assume he made it all up if it wasn't a hallucination, but that seems too cynical, as in it reflects a distorted view of human nature/things humans would be likely to do (especially when you critically analyze many details/aspects of the conversations, reactions/thoughts, etc. he had while there), and it's an assumption that conveniently protects the skeptics' narrowminded view on the nature of reality and their firm belief in the universality of the mundane. Anyway, I'm done. Did you read all that? Good.

fizzyarthur:
I'm sorry to say that, but that Kali Yuga belief is straight up esoteric Nazism. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2018/03/27/hindu-mysticism-alt-right/

ColorStorm:
I tried skimming over it but it's just too long to read. I'm not convinced that because one person's take on Kali Yuga is that it's esoteric Nazism means that it really is. Because I've never seen such an association before. It's a belief held by a lot of spiritualists, who are unlikely to be Nazis. In any case, my own personal belief in Kali Yuga (if you could even say I really believe in it) is not esoteric Nazism, because I'm not a Nazi and don't have any awareness of the connection between it and Nazism

fizzyarthur:
Yep, welcome to the Indian far-right: https://www.ibtimes.com/hindu-nationalists-historical-links-nazism-fascism-214222 About kali yuga, I'm afraid this concept has gained traction in fascist thinking for quite some time now, it's just that the proper critisicm of esoterism is rarely seen outside of academic environments. https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2014/05/darling-dark-enlightenment-aristocratic-radical-traditionalist-julius-evola.html

Yes!! Definitely! But one thing, are you certain your server would have the capacity to handle the amount of traffic that it may/would probably experience? Then there are the matters of constant upkeep, such as fixing crashes/malfunctions and banning people.

That will remain to be seen when it happens. Since my server is mostly idle it can take a hit. Also I do not guesstimate that the number of users will be very high?

I know it's the fashion but long and pointy artificial finger nails give me the shivers. I cannot but think of Cruella. You?

ColorStorm:
I don't like them. I don't like them. I don't like them. At all. Besides the fact that I'm a naturalist and a purist and don't like anything fake or body modifications, those things just look weird to me, like witchy, vain, gaudy and emotionally immature. Oh and they're also stupid because they're impractical/self-defeating because they severely limit what you're able to do with your fingers/hands. Similarly, pointy shoes look witchy/unnatural to me and they're also stupid because they deform your toes in addition to being uncomfortable do to cramping them. And don't get me started on high heels...

Kate:
I'm not that strict. My taste and how I react to beauty-items is so different from many folks. I like high heels for instance but only those that do not break my ankles. And those are party shoes, limiting their use to mainly sitting ;-) and looking good. I like to show off my toes sometimes. haha!

I always say that high heels seem vain, prissy, misleading, and one other adjective I can't remember. And they're also hard to walk in and bad for your back.

Shannon:
If one of you works and one of you dosent work should the person who doesn't work do all the house work? :)

ColorStorm:
I think Arthur's answer provides a good framing for this - nobody "should" have to do any house work, it's just a "necessary" evil in today's time, so there's no objectively right or wrong answer. That being said, I think it may or may not be the most fair way of doing it depending on whether the house work is roughly the same amount of work as the job or not. I guess chances are it isn't, but it may be more or less. If it's more, then the person with the job "should" do some of the house work. But there are other extenuating factors, like what if the stay-at-home person is disabled? Or what if menial labor makes them more miserable than it does the person with the job? Or what if the house work is somehow harder than the job? Etc. But anyway, again, what's best is ultimately just whatever the couple agrees to...

anonymous:
why do people get mad when you flip them off?

ColorStorm:
That's basically the intention, to offend them. It's a gesture of insult/disrespect. It's the hand sign for "f\*ck you," so they get mad for the same reason they do when you say that. To go a little deeper, I suspect that the reason people get mad back at you when you get mad at them is because their first reaction would be to feel bad/grief that they apparently did something wrong to make you feel that way, because on a superconscious level we all really love each other. But we feel we shouldn't have to feel that grief, because people often get mad at other people for reasons that aren't their fault, or we just don't want to have to feel the grief, so we get angry instead at the person for making us/trying to make us feel that way.

When you lost a love do you just move on or do you learn to live with pain and memories?

ColorStorm:
i can't say i've ever really lost a love yet, though it's inevitably going to happen. I don't think I'd choose to live with pain if i could help it. so i guess the answer is that i'd move on if that's actually possible, but it doesn't seem at all that that would necessarily be possible. on the other hand, you did say memories, too...i'm not sure i'd want to erase the memories. or even ignore them. it's hard to tell.

What's the most exhausting thing you have done?

ColorStorm:
Idk, the first thing that comes to mind is doing the mile run in grade school, and trying to complete it fast enough to be able to win the Presidential Metal of Honor. I won it every year. This time I made it just in time (though the coach was counting down the seconds as I was running toward the finish, and the last second was like 1 or 2, so I wonder if I really did make it on time or if he was just being nice), and I was breathing so hard the coach asked me if I had asthma. I've never been good at running. If I run for too long it starts to feel like something's wrong with my blood, like there's not enough oxygen in it or something. I've also been in some pretty exhausting mental situations while being psychotic. Once my mind was so busy and stressed I sort of fell against the wall as I was walking down the hall. Then an ambulance arrived at the house and asked if anybody had called, the weird thing is nobody had.

I don't know, I've never used 7-zip except maybe once when I might have had to open a filetype WinRAR doesn't support. I use WinRAR, but it's just out of habit. It's what I've always used. It would probably be better if I used 7-zip just because WinRAR has a pop-up window I have to shut first every time I use it since I haven't paid for it.

Why don't you pay for it?

So my boss went to a fancy furniture store and the cheapest couch was about $8000 used. If she wanted a new one, it was around $30000. She then immediately left the store. Why would someone in their right mind buy a couch worth more than a new car?

ColorStorm:
I don't even understand why people spend $2,000 on couches. I mean, it's a thing you sit on. But regarding the $30,000 couch, for rich people, money is no object. I guess they just want to feel "expensive"...

Why do people listen to video game soundtracks? Aren't they supposed to be only listened while playing the game?

ColorStorm:
Why not? It's still music? Music is music? And if you really like that genre/style of music.. I'm not big on videogame soundtracks but I like a few videogame songs. Sephiroth (One Winged Angel) from Final Fantasy 7, the entire soundtrack from The Witcher 3, and Hyperdrive by Scirocco, which I'm not sure was used in any video games, but all or most of his songs are made for video games. I also have a song from MegaMan and a techno remix of the MegaMan theme. And I have one other song that I think is from a video game, I thought the song name was one of the areas in Super Metroid but I don't recognize it in the Super Metroid Wiki. And there are some video game songs that are very nostalgic for me, especially Mario game songs and F-Zero songs, but I don't really have them or listen to them, except for a video of the Super Mario Bros. theme played on an ocarina.

Is it wrong when a worker has more technical knowledge than their boss? And how to do your job well if you can't use the most of your technical knowledge?

ColorStorm:
There was a conversation about this in ##programming on Libera (IRC network) the other month: [12:17] When managing people requires a totally different skillset than programming.. [12:17] The world is sometimes absurd like that... 01[12:19] systemfault: if i worked as a programmer I think I'd find it problematic to be managed by someone who doesn't even fully understand what we're doing [12:21] inhahe`: It requires a different interaction modality. The boss becomes a stakeholder, and the programmer is then responsible for technical aspects. It only works right when there is a sufficient element of delegation and trust issued by the non-programming boss regarding technical matters and decisions. [12:23] inhahe`: If you end up rising in seniority, it's pretty easy to hit a point where you work for a person who doesn't understand technical details. [12:24] inhahe`: There are career paths where you can avoid that, of course. But there are a lot of paths where a person rising the ranks ends up being the top technical expert in a chain of command. [12:24] Or where the boss next up might have some sort of technical expertise, but not a matched expertise to the work in question, and thus it is effectively similar.

do you believe in heaven and hell?

ColorStorm:
I'm 100% sure the eternal Christian heaven and hell are just fantasy, but I believe there are various heavens and hells, both physical and nonphysical places, in terms of great and prolonged joy or suffering. In the afterlife, you may end up in one or the other depending on what you think you deserve or what you expect. I believe Earth is a mild level of hell, at least for the human race (and an even worse hell for many animals under our subjugation). Note that, since I believe everything imaginable exists *somewhere*, it would follow that heavens and hells as described by Christians must exist *somewhere*, they would just be a lot lot less common in the multiverse, they probably wouldn't be eternal (nothing lasts forever; the only constant is change), and they probably don't even exist on our timeline. Or, on second thought, some Christians probably *create* the Christian heaven or hell (more likely the heaven) in the afterlife based on their expectations, so it may be rather popular in our universe, though it still wouldn't actually be eternal, so technically it still wouldn't be the actual Christian heaven (or hell).

It's fine except it's a little loud, a whiny shriek, and sometimes it gets clogged and for some reason unbeknownst to me they made it so tou have to unscrew a bunch of screws on the bottom just to open it to unclog it. I don't see why they didn't just put a couple of latches there or something. IIRC I got them that one because the previous one would always get clogged. And also it was from like the '80s and we never seemed to have bags for it because they became so hard to find. The one I bought them is bagless, which is nice.

What would you do if you won 14million tonight?

ColorStorm:
Not much. Save it and be happy that my future is (somewhat more) secured. I probably wouldn't invest it in the economy, because the economy and civilization is going to crash in the foreseeable future due to our rampantly unsustainable treatment of the environment that we intimately depend on. Gold might be a good thing to invest it in, but then, if everything collapses, how will I defend and carry my huge stash? I could invest it in materials way more precious than gold, but would there be an availability of people able to assess their worth and a market for them in post-apocalyptic society if it comes to that in my lifetime? In reality, I'd probably just keep it all in a bank account and hope the bank survives for the rest of my life. Oh, and I'd also buy a 2"x2"x2" tungsten cube. I've always wanted one of those.

How often do you upgrade your laptop/computer.

ColorStorm:
I only upgrade when I have a specific reason to, like it breaks, or it no longer supports some app I want to run. I was using a Galaxy S6 for a few years up until 2022, when the battery started going bad and also one of the games I'd play on it was no longer supported by the OS, so I got an S22 Ultra, and I've been using that since. My current desktop PC I got in 2018 or 2019, before that I'm pretty sure I was using a gaming laptop that I had gotten in 2010. My laptop I use now is probably not much younger than my desktop PC. Though it may be about time for a new laptop...my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth recently stopped working, and the laptop's been randomly rebooting for years. Though I ordered a new Wi-Fi & Bluetooth module today to see if that solves the problem, we'll see how that goes, I don't get it until Jan. 8th at the earliest.

You could say so, but in this case, to the influencers' credit, almost *nobody* noticed this was going on. Btw, that's not the only way Honey was scamming people. They also advertised themselves as searching the internet for the cheapest possible coupons, saying if they can't find it, it doesn't exist, and meanwhile they were charging affiliate companies to allow them to control what coupons show up on their sites, so, the smallest coupons.

Bring out the cake knife! You have the power, one time, to turn something into a super realistic cake version of itself. What do you target with this opportunity?
