Nice job taking a brave stand against the concept of unity. This country obviously needs more divisiveness between various races.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Police are people like all of us and hence are far from perfect and yes, there are ulterior motives sometimes, but the suggestion that they don’t care about children is absurd. Where does that come from? Are you really dehumanizing police officers to that degree?

That’s a space peanut.

I see a face in the top picture towards the right. Looks like a general from the terracotta army to me.

That’s actually not the premise anymore.

It would actually be 4+ years.

I don’t agree with anything he says other than the characterization of “Generation P”...

This is about as new as the brown stains on my underwear.

I hate hate hate hate hate slimy cold cuts.

Watts’ book was pretty cool. But the universe is so vast that I’d be very surprised if we were the only life that developed a sense of self. But yeah, there could be life like in Blindsight as well. Cool idea.

Am I gray?

Religion is a choice and a set of beliefs. Any ideology is subject to criticism and mockery. Stop treating it like race, gender or sexuality.

Yeah I know. I saw a lot of people saying something and your replies to them about being unable to edit your reply. I maliciously repeated what they said to get a rise out of you, and now I feel terrible about it. Forgive me, will you?

You wrote the wrong number down, FYI. Maybe you want to edit your reply so that people stop telling you.

I really liked the sci-fi novel Star’s Reach. The premise is that there is other “intelligent life” out there but that - no matter how advanced it is - there’s simply no way around the difficulties of interstellar travel.

This is an oddly specific prediction.

Am I the only one whose parents brought them to Disney World as a small child but can’t yet afford to take my own kids there (6 year old twin boys) and feels shame about it? They’ll be too old soon, and it just kind of strikes me as a right-of-passage type thing. It’s not so much the actual experience (which I expect…

Great points, all. Yes, I understand that being at a certain level of “intelligence” makes us different than other animals, but we are really a part of nature when you get down to it.

Well said my friend. Are you my friend?

I lost over 100 pounds over the past ~1 and 1/2 years and in my experience, it absolutely got easier to avoid temptation. I used to absolutely devour a double quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a 10-piece nuggets in 5 minutes flat, and now I get nauseous just thinking about it.
