  Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.

  I like how in Trump’s world he thinks he needs to explain the internet to people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ponders the cosmic mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotcha. I guess I don’t really see “God” as a sentient being exclusively, so applying characteristics to him has always been a challenge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ponders the cosmic mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not trying to be funny, but would you also characterize “nature” as being an asshole?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ponders the cosmic mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using the same structure as the original comment to make it easier to compare/contrast.

  The fact that it’s causing you mental unrest means you need to report to the main office for a Voight-Kampff test. The tortoise lays on its back, it’s belly baking in the hot sun trying to turn itself over, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ponders the cosmic mysteries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, see. Tooth decay, carnivorousness, and everything else were seen as neither good nor bad until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good an evil and gained consciousness. Prior to that, everything was still absolute chaos, but without a knowledge of good and evil there is no way to make value judgements.

  Things are the same as they’ve always been. The only thing that has changed is your perception.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes to a donut shop⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally the type of line I’d use as a litmus test to see if people were cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still love Pokémon, I just try not to let my nostalgia for the old games get in the way of enjoying the new ones. I try to judge everything on its own merit.

  But yeah I agree, really animals are way more complex and interesting than anything you’d find in a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Very true!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Magnemite is named after a magnet and Voltorb is an electric orb.

  Tauros and Porygon are just one letter away from Taurus and polygon.

  Ekans is snake backwards.

  I’m open to having my mind changed, but I’m going to need more lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I don’t even think gen 1 Pokémon are anymore creative than the others. I was still a kid when the concept was new so they felt fresh, but pretty much every Pokémon I can think of is based on an existing archetype of some sort. Plant/Animal, inanimate object brought to life, spirits, dinosaurs, etc. Then you sprinkle on some regional flavor and there you go, you got a Pokémon.

  “Identity” isn’t something that belongs to the object, it’s something that is assigned to the object by an observer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Uhhh… The internet? lol

  You can get together with a small group of friends if you’re more comfortable that way, but the sentiment is the same. Find some people and have fun remembering your shared past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been so long⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry trainer, you can always get back together in a big ol’ group of all your friends and between everyone we’ll be able to figure out all their names. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lion is clearly an algorithm for Persia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it possible to go too far in one direction? You’ll never know unless you find out, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find out.

  I think in his later years Feynman did LSD and started feeling more comfortable with the potential philosophical ramifications of his work. We have to draw a line somewhere as a starting point for our understanding of reality, but it’s important to always be willing to reconsider that line. That’s what good science is all about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The lion is clearly an algorithm for Persia⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been reading The Screwtape Letters and having aot of fun with it. Lewis and Wormwood both know how to pull the levers to get an emotional reaction out of a person lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hoping to impress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My bad, I meant the activity depicted in the picture (popping a wheelie to try to impress a girl) could easily be from a pre-internet time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hoping to impress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, I guess I mean I don’t see how the sentiment of wanting to show off for ladies has really changed that much post internet. To me this picture speaks more towards how motorcycles impacted simping, and I’m pretty sure that’s the whole reason motorcycles were invented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hoping to impress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In what way? This photo looks like it could be both pre or post internet to me.
