  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    yay limpets!
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    Why the crap am I rereading posts from August in which I cried over not being able to make myself physically 13 years old

    The only good thing was that I got to use my classic quip: "See what you're doing? We call that not helping."


    Well, if you were 13 then I'd be indecent

    yes, we've been over this before

    Sorry

    No, you're fine

    I just wanted to make it clear that I was laughing at my own nonsense there and not wishing to rehash the argument

    How do you guys NOT be terrified of Richard Dawkins all the time?

    By realizing that he's sort of a crackpot who makes statements about fields he knows nothing about?
  • unrelated: I looked up JNCO Jeans...

    I think I got brain damage from the stupid.

    yeah, not a fan of the huge back pockets and the medium-to-low rise, it creates a really unbalanced silhouette
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Aliroz, you don't need to be convincing, persuasive, or magical. Because Dawkins isn't, he just has people listening to him.

    You have passion? Conviction? Use it.

    "Richard Dawkins is a fucking asshole who shadowboxes at religious bogeymen and refuses to see his own people's complicity of the monsters that plague the world today."

    Plain and simple words. The name of the game is "get other people on your side" and you can go far by appealing to the heart.

    They look like kendo skirts from afar.

    that's not really the problem, i mean for example:

    here you have something almost as wide, but a lot more care has been put into the proportions and how they drape
  • now im trying to remember where i put that "wide-legged jeans are back" thread

    hmm
  • kill living beings
    a light went out and i have backup bulbs BUT they're the wrong wattage so i'm in hell

    Or by telling people what they want to hear!
  • kill living beings
    the selfish gene is pretty well written
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i liked "dundridges"

    more seriously, Dawkins has a reasonable command of persuasive rhetoric, but he's kind of an ass and i think most people can see that

    That's one aspect of appealing to the heart, yeah.
  • Always remember, Aliroz: extremists in any group are always the loudest people. Most atheists and agnostics are normal, decent folk who have nothing but respect for religion. I know you've been told this before, but it bears repeating. 
  • kill living beings
    what are your real feelings about trigeminal neuralgia

    do we have a computers megathread?

    i found a "General Computer Thread" but nobody's posted in it since 2014
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    computers were declared illegal after that.

    but burritos, thankfully, were legalized again

    I don't think there's anything more recent than that, but feel free to bump it.

    thanks
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    oh no, I can't listen to the radio!

    whatever will I do now that I can't hear the same dozen crap songs over and over with commercials and DJ chatter in-between?

    ...what do you listen to in the car then?

    Granted, the only two cars I've had have both had AM/FM/cassette stereos, and I don't own any tapes...I guess if your car's newer than mine were you might have a CD player or something.
  • silence would be highly preferable
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    My car was built in the 21st century, so it has a CD player.

    I listen to whatever the fuck I want
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    some radio is decent

    i like the BBC stations well enough, at least
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    but we don't usually listen to the radio in the car

    dad puts on CDs during long car journeys

    mum prefers driving without music
  • electric wizard is definitely better than silence

    i am just assuming that imi listens to electric wizard whilst driving to work
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I don't mind driving without music sometimes but if nothing else it's nice to have the radio on so I can get traffic updates
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I have listened to Electric Wizard in the car before, yes. Although lately it's been Mastodon.

    Silence can be nice too.
  • Munch munch, chomp chomp...

    silence would be highly preferable


  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Sometimes I also listen to "The Sound of Silence"

    OOH!

    What if Mojo Jojo met Ludo? I'll have to send Mojo into the Magic Kingdom with ARMED GUARDS though

    Pet peeves: online forms that insist on a four-digit year for a date of birth.

    DUMBASS DO YOU THINK I MIGHT HAVE BEEN BORN IN 1890

    If you consider the range of reasonable values for a field like that, "90", "18", and "44" are all unambiguous. It's only when you get into things like "14" that you get into iffy territory.
