You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
Seeing that they need quite a lot of clean water, which is not widely available everywhere during the entire year in big amounts, especially with these droughts due to climate change.
Kind of. The declaration of independence was where the founding fathers said it was the duty of each citizen to rise up and overthrow any bad governments. This gave them a good reason to rise up and overthrow the Brits.
The constitution is where we are given the right to have a gun. There are more words, but they are eternally debated about their original intent. It doesn’t, however, explain why we should be able to have guns.
I’m just gonna comment real quick that i do care, but i also find it difficult to “pick a side”. I can’t imagine what life is like for any of the Israelis/Palestinians.
But what does an end to all of this actually look like? I still remember when Rabin and Arafat were awarded Nobel peace prizes because they thought Bill Clinton solved peace in the Middle East.
Can there be peace? Or just this eternal back and forth bullshit?
I added that part because i knew it would elicit real responses because of how you interpreted it. Clickbaity i guess, but i really do want to try to see all around this issue.
Justice Arthur Engoron on Oct. 3 barred Trump from disparaging court staff after Trump shared on social media a photo of the judge’s top clerk posing with U.S. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and falsely called her Schumer’s “girlfriend.”...
We should just build a cell in the white house. A super secret cell with tunnels and bunkers and shit. Everyone knows it’s there, but they say it’s impossible to figure out where it is. There’s only one entrance inside the white house somewhere that only 3 secret service agents know about.
And the sitting president can stream footage online if they wanted.

During covid times I heard many interesting conspiracy predictions such as the value is money will fall to zero, the whole society will collapse, the vaccine will kill 99% of the population etc. None of those things have happened yet, but can you add some other predicitons to the list?...
Loosely inspired by how much people seemed to enjoy a similar question I asked on Games about unappreciated titles. But answers don’t have to be media related (they still can be though).
Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?
I really did have my hopes up when it was supposed to be a tv adaptation with Ron Howard. Watching all of that fall apart, i still was hoping for the best. Was not prepared for what we got.
“John Brown’s body lies a mouldering in the grave, his soul is marching on!” If ideas can self replicate (like the original conception of a meme), which ones do you want to see marching on?
How bad i am at communicating. Not all of our issues stem from this, but i did start to realize that i am terrible at saying what needs to be said to be understood.
I also found out how different people are. Everyone is motivated by something different. If you don’t spell out your motives, then the other person is gonna assume they’re the same as their own and completely miss your point.
I had a PAX when they first came out and never really got the chance to figure out how to use it. I could never find the right temp and it felt like i was going through the bud too fast. I suppose i just didn’t know how to use it.
I didn’t have it very long because, unfortunately, it was confiscated by the authorities and i never got another one.
I had been wanting to learn how to play the guitar for years, but laziness, i guess, kept me from it. I picked it up with moderate seriousness and am very greatful i did. I wish i would’ve started sooner.
I think we all go through those phases with our hobbies. What makes it great is that we found them in the first place. As long as we can pick them back up after some time away and still get the same enjoyment, then we’ve found something special.
Kind of like old friends you can hang out with like you never spent a day apart.
There are countless ways we can find to cope. As long as it makes us happy and we can understand and accept its full effect on our lives, then i believe it’s great to have.
I started smoking weed again during the pandemic, and was probably just old enough to do that responsibly. I definitely wasn’t when i was younger and couldn’t handle my substances well.
Humans have to experience something to really understand it. And anything that effects our bodies, and panic attacks definitely do that, is really hard to understand because we can only take the word of that person. There isn’t anything that we can see that would make someone behave that way. So there’s always going to be a part inside of us that thinks it’s not as bad as it is.
And not because we don’t believe the person either. We just can’t know how another person is experiencing their pain.
I’ve only taken a few shop classes in high school. But one time i got to refurbish a bunch of old lumber into a doghouse. It was pretty shitty, but it worked and the dog loved it.
I really don’t feel comfortable asking, but I’m going to anyways. How much have you spent? A range would be acceptable if you don’t want to say the exact amount.
“I’d become paralyzed with fear over the fact that anything exists at all”…“I now find myself seeing the universe, consciousness and death very differently (largely in a good way.)”
It really does help your mind come up with some awesome ideas.
I don’t know if it was weed specifically or my education and life experiences, but I’m comfortable with the idea that we can’t know anything with absolute certainty. And since none of the questions about our existence can be answered (yet?) we get to be creative.
Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
Would nuclear reactors be feasible everywhere?
Seeing that they need quite a lot of clean water, which is not widely available everywhere during the entire year in big amounts, especially with these droughts due to climate change.
