Disagree. Similarly, the Winter Concert is tonight at my school.

Ugly. Bulky and irregular. I can't see how you would want that on your wrist, unless it's some sort of hipster fashion statement.

These are my favorite pencils, but they're hard to find and Ticonderogas tend to be on hand, so I just use those. I have a black pen (German - I think Staedtler) that's very nice, but it gets a bit runny and I don't use it often. The pen I use most for my writing is a blue something or other. Next time I see it I'll remember to get its info.

Anon is both an extremely immature wreck and a beautiful product of uninhibited communication. You can't base your opinion of the whole off the actions of a few of them, but at the same time I don't think you should entirely trust or support Anon, as those few are always around.

No. If nothing can be impossible, then impossibility isn't possible, therefore not anything can be possible. A paradox. Mind blowing to the two people in the world who've never heard it before.

It's definitely true that depression is often overstated ("I feel so depressed today"), but we are the Off-Topic section of the forums for a fan site of a low-quality MMORPG game. If anyone has wierdos, it's TIF.

I thought that it was pretty much the classic hero portrait: staring above and beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Assange looks like he's thinking, "How bad will my butt hurt when I get jailed and drop the soap in the shower?" Rape is never funny. I'm completely serious right now. Sorry, I don't mean to flame, but just no.

Impossibility would be impossible - and, therefore, possible.

Don't watch the vid. Just listen.

... But runs at/before 5AM? I stay up all night almost every other night anyways, but I don't plan it. I've tried going for runs on my treadmill in the night, but I worry it's just obnoxious to everyone else in the house, and running in the dark sounds a lot cooler than it is, especially during December. I did some chin-ups, but I'm not tired anyways after getting 15 hours of sleep last night. And then I get to Physics (or, God forbid, Pre-Cal) and just give up.

Not being able to sleep after not going to bed because I have work to procrastinate. Then having to go to my therapy thing as a zombie and listening to her say "well, it's not depression, and it's not adjustment disorder, but there's obviously something wrong. We're gonna keep charging you money and wasting your time without really doing anything, alright?" Oh, and, Exhibit B: Doesn't like monkeys.

I think it should also be mentioned that even if you think you know what you're doing, you probably shouldn't go poking around inside the physical computer. If you've opened up and worked on a computer before, get someone to stand by, and if you haven't find someone who has. One slip of the hand and you'd be fried, to put it bluntly.

Like I said: obscurity for obscurity's sake. I've heard it can be understood, but only while under the influence of opium.

Exhibit A: Saru does not like Mexican food. Saru dislikes peppermint ice cream. Saru dislikes pie. Saru is Christian and gay. First Witness: TIF OT. Your Honor, I accuse this man of trolling in the first degree. The suggested sentence: shock correction treatment and thought repatterning. With any hope, he can still be semi-normal someday. OT: This essay outline that I'm supposed to be doing. I know about the topic. I know what I want to prove. How do I write eight pages about it, including as evidence, according to the teacher, "Everything"?

Exactly. Except I don't understand what you mean by "Nothing can ever be the right decision, because our existence itself is wrong," For nothing to be right, something has to be wrong, but there is nothing wrong ( how is existence wrong?), so there is neither "wrong" or "right." Either way, your words bring joy. Nothing matters, not even enjoying it matters. Stop trying to enjoy, stop trying to do anything, you don't even have to try to stop trying. Nothing is serious, it just is. I can not even know that, I can not know anything, because there is nothing to know ;) Yes and no. Why did I post this? Why bother living? Because it is superior to not living. From here, we build a new network of right and wrong based on which option we percieve to be better, knowing, the whole time, that it is all wrong and it is all nothing. Why? Because it is not humanly possible to not do so. Philosophy reaches its limits when we confront the human factor. And yet, the whole time we are confronting the human factor, and none of it can be true because we cannot escape it. You cannot live a life of pure enjoyment - you do not know what enjoyment is. You cannot choose. And whatever you do, it will not matter, while continuing to matter because we are only human.

MOAR EVIDENCE PLOX :twss: It's late.

The flash is what you want. During that "updating" thing, it should be downloading. If it's really brief, sleeping is probably the best thing to do. If overload really is the reason for the problem, then finding a time when Steam is less active would be the solution.

Existence itself is beyond the limits of human comprehension. By debating it, you only waste space-time. It is all obscurity for obscurity's sake. I know that I exist. Why? I think. I see myself, I observe myself, I touch myself. Through observations, I understand that I am me. However, my existence is nothing. In two hundred years, I will be a name, a memory. In five hundred, I will be unusual if I am even a name on a piece of paper. In one thousand, I will be nothing. We all will be nothing. Everything around you, every moment, every hope, dream, pain, feeling, is nothing. And even then, it is all within our small reference frame of the Earth. In this sense, none of it exists. As far as my perception comment, I was expressing that you were only explaining your perception of what you believe to be his perception. It is not a fact. You cannot know that. Now, I can say all this, but it cannot be the truth. Why? Because I cannot possibly believe that I do not exist. It is inhuman. Now, in a world that is nothing, there is only one way to live: Enjoy it. How do we find that which pleases us the most? We don't. Nothing can ever be the right decision, because our existence itself is wrong. We live a life of lies, and we only continue because to end it would be doubly irrational.

Ricky Ray Rector and Monica Lewinsky (potentially more women as well). Clinton is a sick man, who cares for nothing but his own political career and genitalia, perhaps not in that order. What else is there? Money.

:wall: In your view ;) Note, I am not referring to you personally, but to everyone. I think people don't realize that in philosophy it's a lot more opinionated than people make it out to be, people constantly argue that their side is right, the other people don't know what they are talking about; and its all just perception. Which I guess is in itself an opinion, but I get greatly perturbed when people say something like "your an idiot if you believe in objective idealism@@!!" ok. So am I an idiot for like peppermint ice cream? Well, in this case I would say yes, that stuff is gross. But this subject is just an opinion, which people seem to forget. Yes, it is all just perception. :P I disagree. It is not his perception at all.

Talk to her.

I have discovered the third coming of the Messiah in the bottom of a square cake pan that normally contains home-made cornbread. It appears to be a lemon bar of some sort. I would post pics, but I would have to take them on my phone and then email them and stuff. Right now I am eating plain pasta with romano cheese. There were also asiago and parmesan cheeses in the fridge, as well as tomato sauce. For anyone who knows what I'm talking about, which is the best cheese to have on pasta? I chose romano in this instance because it is not as strong as asiago, but has more kick than parmesan.

Disproven. http://www.amazon.com/Freakonomics-Economist-Explores-Hidden-Everything/dp/006073132X Confession: I still need to read this one. And Skeptical is right to post it. Everyone who I've heard about it from has had good things to say.

Ah, but what is hate? Do you really hate them, or are you just exaggerating your disagreements due to your current negative mindset? Just kidding. I have to go up to upstate NY to visit my Dad's family over Christmas break. Think about it - 8 hours in a car with the family on the way there, at least three days in two hotel rooms, possibly doing various boring activities with the family if we're not snowed in the whole time, and then 8 hours home. All for one little old lady in her appartment complex full of people waiting to die. There aren't even cousins living up there. And on top of that, last time they went I refused to go and stayed with my Grandpa instead, and last time I went I ended up spending the last night purging my body of all that is sinful in five greasy burgers and a Philly cheesesteak. If I'm still alive, I'll let y'all know about the two books I recieve for Christmas. Also, Rob, besides what Saru said, don't use Facebook. Facebook is PUBLIC. That means, not only will you look like an attention-seeking nuisance to people you know, but you will look like a complete douchebag to people you only sort of know. Also, Saru, you are wrong about the pie. I question your motives here.

If it's Steam, this happens to me all the time with PC stuff I download. Supposedly, it means the Steam servers are overloaded. Just click "resume all" or, alternatively, pause it then un-pause it. If niether works, click "play", it should download a little bit, then suspend itself, and you just have to repeat that until it finishes. It's a pain, but it gets done eventually.
