Ya, I guess. That’s a reasonable description, but what I see there is people first playing with some basic ideas about how the world works.
You have to manipulate and work with those ideas in order to really internalize what they mean. That can come out a little clumsy at first.

Some familiarity with the literature doesn’t hurt either. So, take this comment about being the only one in the universe. Later on, this person may read about Boltzman Brains, and they will come to understand that this idea has been thoroughly chewed up already a hundred years ago, and of course Rene Descarte laid the groundwork well before that. Oh, and St Thomas Aquinas well before that. Ya, this whole ‘the universe might not really exist’ thing has been well discussed.

I think this is all an exploration process where people try out ideas and see how they work. In the case of solipsism, its attractive at first because it can’t be proven wrong. And then after you play with it enough, you realize its a dead end. Concluding that nothing is real gains you nothing. There’s no advantage to the perspective, and its as futile as itself concludes the universe is.

That twisted my melon. I liked the simple nonsense version better.

I dd not agree. You did not reply. And not replying seems to be your default in public as well.

Like, you moved the comm to another instance. There was a lot of subsequent discussion of that. People wanted to know what the comm was even about. Thats about the time you nuked my cat pic. No - comment.

You seemed to be mining the old comm and recycling content. Nope, you had no comment.

I have no issue in general with you or your comm. I still read it.
But its fun watching you whine about another mod.

I guess my instance purges old direct messages? I had no idea they went away after a time. I don’t have it either.

Ya took down my silly cat pic in that dead-ass iiitttttt com. Off topic. Didn’t reply to me.
It’s old news. I just said screw you and stopped posting to your comm.

Meh. Mod whining about mods. Whatever.

wat

Just look in your chat log. I’ve a pretty unique nic, as do you.
But you don’t respond to public questions in your comms either.

Whatever man. irrelephant, you are pretty free with your own mod activities, don’t respond when questioned, and basically don’t discuss what you do. So why would anyone care if you don’t like some shit? Why talk to you about it, when you won’t talk about the shit you do as a mod?

Oh. I have a soft spot for spherical cows.
Years ago I authored most of the Uncyclopedia page on the topic. Hehe. I see my edits there from 2010.

I definitely do not care about dicing an onion uniformly, but I read and enjoyed the entire analysis.

All of the diagrams are of a cross-section of the middle of an onion. You know, it being round and all, it naively makes a lot of sense to assume that’s going to be ok as a model for the entire onion.

But … I find myself curious … if the solution is to cut to an angle below the onion, and the article did point out that a few pieces along the bottom would be mismatched … It seems that we are overlooking the top and bottom of the onion where sections are going to get some really weird looking cuts.

They say, “This is an onion. (Well, a simplified cross-section of one.)”
… No. No that is not an onion. Its not that they’ve chosen an easy problem, but the approximation used here is not an onion.

I have long thighs and short lower legs. Pretty hairy too. I already look enough like an ape. No thx.

Grandma can’t see the pins anymore to take them out.
She made me a lovely quilt. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be done pulling pins out of it.

Treat that vest very carefully for a while. No sudden moves.

Mmm. Had to look this up. Good stuff.

Maybe she’s a digital fantasy. Did you look for extra fingers and such?

I usually do 10 squats. Would I get half a ticket?

Fuk me, that is the ugliest food I’ve seen in a bit. I had to come back to this post and look again.

Came here for this. The rest of this post is shite.

I acknowledge that this is spoonula thing is happening … but its madness.
I don’t entirely understand, and something in me rebels against doing so.

These are such great names.
I dated a Dutch girl years ago. Marjan made the Dutch language sound … silly, totally charming.
