True Story of the Day

[accelafine]

Mate. The erf is a very rare type of planet positioned just right from a star (so to not bake or freeze) with a veritable buffet of precious elements and resources for the taking.

99.276 percent of planets are either dense clouds of gas, hot mush, solid rock or frozen ice. So when you find a planet like Erf when your astronomers are scanning the galaxy YOU GO TO IT. It's a no-bainer.

Those space goons are gonna start mining the planet and either kill us all with a manufactured air and water bourne virus or enslave us to do manual labor (cheaper than machines). Who knows what they want. Fossil fuels? Gold? Water? Some other metals? What? They're not comin' for the times square new year's eve party, though, i can promise you that.

Ridiculous. They could get far more from asteroids. It's a comet anyway.

Phil. We may be to the space goons what cows are to us. Do you extend your "peace and Plato to all life support systems" vulcan philosophy to cows? No. Instead you eat them.

I see you must talk to cows.

There is no life support system which evolves to contradict its own definition. Period. Like a dumb animal, you think that dominion over a biosphere means burning down the forest.

[promethean75]

I'm talking about burning down the house, not the forest. They need the forest.

Wishful thinking doesn't change anything, little ant.

"They could get far more from asteroids"

Too expensive and too risky. I don't mean dangerous, i mean risking a lot of time wasted. You can't tell what the deep composition of an asteroid is without docking on it and tapping it. Bruce Willis taught me that.

So you wouldn't fly around looking for random asteroids that may or may not be resourceful.

Have you ever read the short story "How to serve Man." One of the early scifi series did it in film. They all carried a book. They stayed until man learn to read it.

The book was a cookbook.

The whole story put evolution in perspective.

You are obviously being deliberately obtuse as an act. Have fun.

God, speaking to a trainee:

God doesn't speak to anyone, you can neither prove that it does, nor that it even exists. No wonder you believe in Trump, you're deluded!

Talk about an idiot.
There are two, and only two types of identity, arithmetic and geometric, aka, literal and metaphorical. Any good grammar book will flat tell you, if a statement is not literal, then it is metaphorical.

God, meaning the power of creation, is simply the two elements of a thing universally expressed as the definition of a thing. The only power a mind can have is information processing derived from these two elements.
Therefore claiming that God cannot be proven, are the words of an illiterate moron.
The choice has always been, is God literal or metaphorical, not one of existence.
When you claim that the Universe and God are different, that God is part of the Universe, you are claiming that a member of a class is greater than the class of which it is a member, a flat contradiction.

No you're the idiot because Geometry is Arithmetic. I prefer a dictionary, thesaurus and a set of encyclopedias.

And by the way, I'm not one as immature as you, I insult peoples intelligence to see if it matters to them, as their response proves either way. But it doesn't matter to me, because only I know me, you have no clue. Which is very apparent with much, if not almost all that you state. And of course you can believe anything you choose, no matter how daft you appear to others. So go on, keep up putting your foot in your mouth, it's very amusing.

By the way, a metaphor speaks to no one, only it's half baked author does, as in this particular case. And literal existence means literal existence, which can always be proven, or not.

So i speed to the Lowe's to get the four lithium dewalt battery pack for $99 thinking they've sold out... and they have. Those batteries were gone in like thirty minutes after they opened the doors yesterday morning.

Then she checks her Lowe's mobile computer phone and says the one in x has five left. I say, are you sure... maybe they've been bought and the system isn't updated. She said yeah I'm sure.

I drive 45 minutes to x and they've sold out. I pitch into a rant about the lady being wrong and my 1.5 hr round trip and bro gives me two 6h dewalt batteries... the real real good ones... $400 worth of batteries for $99. I'm like word? He's like no prob. Young gangsta dude with rank on the cash registers. Plugged some numbers in and sold me those fuckers for $99. Don't know how he did it.

You can contradict grammatical fact all you want, it has nothing to do with me.
You can shout as loud as you want, demonstrating your illiteracy, but that only proves you are a fucking moron.
To show your stupidity, literal is the reciprocal of the metaphorical, when you cannot figure out the reciprocity of it, it is because you are stupid.

So you two are butt buddies, please go on.

You're mistaken, know that I didn't follow his youtube link, I didn't care to. I just responded to his statement. His and my differences go way beyond your newbieness. Compare 2011, 2015 to 2022. You're just a babe in the woods here. Now see how smart you are at extrapolating from what I've said to understand the main point. You won't be able to, because you're not very smart. I'm sorry, it's probably your age, seriously, I'm really sorry. So I'll no longer punish you, it's just not fair to do so. you're on my ignore list because of your age, and I don't want to be tempted to abuse you any longer.

If i ended up being wrong and there is a spirit world and a god and all that, i wouldn't regret or be embarrassed about anything. Here's why. I have not outright denied it and have seen/experienced crazy shit on drugs (call it phenomenology)... but i don't live, do, and act as if any of it matters like those who have never experienced the weird shit i have and yet insist there is a spirit world and a god.

It's a bit ironic. The guy who has reason to suspect the supernatural doesn't care, while the one who has no reason to suspect a supernatural world is so terribly interested in it.

If I'm ever in front of god and he says, "Ah ha, you fool, i do exist," I would reply with, "Well, to be honest, i didn't really care. I only pushed atheism because religion was doing a pretty shitty job on erf, and every religious philosopher i met was a knucklehead, so i didn't want to sit beside them during lunch."
