Confession: My exam ended at 10 pm today and I was planning on riding a bus home as usual, but I hadn't considered that today is a Saturday, and apparently buses stop earlier on weekends (who knew?), so I had to install Uber on my phone and take that home... I was a bit nervous though because this was actually the first time I've taken a cab alone, let alone an Uber. But considering I'm still alive I guess it went fine. :makina:

Ehh, I know people who do that all the time. One of them did get sexually assaulted though.

Confession: DON'T YOU SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE SCREAMING LIKE SOME KIND OF A RETARD? LIKE SCREAMING SO HARD THAT YOU LOSE YOUR VOICE THE NEXT GUY?

Yeah don't give in to the urge, it ain't worth it.... my poor voice

Confession: Has to be better then breaking your hand by punching a brick wall. Did that once long ago - I still can't use it quite right, over 20 years later~  :komari:

Demonstrations like that one are why I kind of shrug at the watchmaker analogy and intelligent design. In the grand scheme of things, the odds are pretty much in favor of literally everything imaginable happening somewhere, sometime. I find it more cool than depressing.

 

Whenever I look at that kind of thing, i can't help but see things like nebula, planets, galaxies, etc as genetic material under a microscope~

Just don't think too hard on the many worlds interpretation, I spend nights wondering how many of myselves were killed and by who/what. Then I think about how many people other mes have killed and how many of them are rapists or child molesters.

Than I start thinking if parallel timeline mes are actually "me", considering the "Ship of Thesus Paradox". The cellular structure of each of my individual selves would vary due to things such as differing diets and sunlight exposure. Not to mention that the experiences of each would vary considerably, possibly shaping different personas.  

Than I start to wonder what actually makes up a "person", are we simply complex biological machines that interpret an input of data through the senses and produce an output of a physical response? If so why do people put up such a fuss over stealing, murder, and rape? We are all just a bunch of machines that do nothing, but consume resources and occasionally produce other machines. Not to mention even if I go on a killing/rape/thieving spree it hardly matters, because there are a infinite number of variations of the same machines I would harm in other timelines. 

It's around here that some sort of subconscious fail safe engages and I boot up my favorite eroge and masturbate myself into a coma.

Then I suppose I'm somewhat lucky I survived unmolested, in more than one sense of the word. :miyako:

either that or he's locked up in the basement and the molester if using his phone to post this. rip flut.

The Pillars of Creation always make me feel so small. The size of the universe in general does. Really makes things feel much less important, right? Go out and do something bold instead of sitting around with all your worries. That's what I feel.

Have you read I Am A Strange Loop? It's pretty lengthy, but it provides an interesting perspective on what a "person" is which I haven't really seen anywhere else, and one that I think you'd find interesting.

It's actually based off of his earlier book, Gödel, Escher, Bach. If you didn't know about it, it might be worth a read if you're interested in the subject ;)

Confession: Today I learned that "?!" and "!?" are considered equally correct, even though I've always used "?!" and I find "!?" weird. As a side bonus of learning that, I also learned about the gnaborretni.

Moe girls use "!?" btw.

Confession: I always used "?!" but when I realized that cute girls use "!?" I changed to it :sachi:

Is the gnaborretni different to the interrobang?

I mean, I could just Google this, but it's more fun to ask.

The gnaborretni is, of course, the inverted interrobang used for prefacing a Spanish (and a couple other languages) sentence which ends with an interrobang.

In that case, I'm definitely sticking with "?!".

Edit 2: Incidentally, the reason I finally went and looked this up is that I'm editing a text that used "!?" and was changing them out of habit, and then realized I should probably make sure there's some basis for my preference aside from a vague memory that it was supposed to be done this way. Looks like I'll have to go back and change them all back... or at least all the ones spoken by cute girls.

I try and go through life thinking that everything is only a possibility, with the exception of "I think therefore I am", everything else is just a working hypothesis. That generally keeps my arguments tolerable, but I can still get "triggered" by certain subjects...... especially Nationalism and Mormonism.

Well those are two very different triggers...

You know, my first roommate had gay porn in his internet history that one of his friends called him out on. So I can't entirely discount this possibility.

Put on a show for him :upupu:
