Wait, are we really asking for sound logical proof of a negative, or can we just go with an answer like "sweet, romantic intercourse with members of all other ethnic groups and races"?

I mean, it would at least be an enjoyable way of proving you're not a racist.

To be fair, this is the Open Bar.

Which is, also to be fair, not usually home to the degree of dick-waving I expect to see everywhere else on Peedee.

That's fair.

But isn't it also fair to consider it acceptable to bring said dick-waving to the Open Bar, as it's featured throughout the rest of the forum?

And to be fair, you can be a bit of a cunt.

:lol:

That's pretty rich coming from you.

That's also fair.

But to be fair, it's only fair that you agreed.

Yeah, I get that everyone thinks the first one was a masterpiece but people are allowed to be wrong. It was good, but nothing special. It really took the second film to fully explore the horrors of not only the xenomorphs but of the inevitability of humanity's demise at the hands of its own greed.

If Star Trek is space socialism, the Alien quadrillogy is space libertarianism and that, I'm afraid, is the vastly more likely real-life future. And if that doesn't scare you, well, we're motivated by very different things I guess.


No, I think the issue is that Alien is actually a horror film, while Aliens is an action film.

This is way too on the nose.  I need help verifying this is real.

https://www.morganlewis.com/news/chambers-partners-names-morgan-lewis-as-russia-law-firm-of-the-year

The tax lawyer Trump used at todays press conference to explain away his conflicts of interest is apparently from MorganLewis.

It wasn't the American office, but the Russian office of the American firm that Trump uses for his lawyers.

Putin/Trump presidency vice presidency? Would that be Preferable to Pence?

Depends on your definition of better. A Pence presidency would be an assault on the 1st Amendment via his attempts at instituting a theocracy. Trump has been attacking the 1st via press/speech, as well as the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th, as well as his cabinet nominations generally being people who want to destroy their department, or are corrupt as hell.

Is is better to have an administration that wants to watch the system burn, or one that's throwing gasoline on the fire while whistling?

Didn't get this either. You can hit him on the coke and hookers, since they're illegal and he's against others enjoying them. I don't think he's ever said a word against watersports. Focus on where he's an actual horrible person, who cares about him being a pervert. Shit, that line of attack does nothing but humanize him... we're all a little kinky deep down inside.

I've only ever seen 3 movies that I actually considered scary, and Poltergeist doesn't really hold up when you watch it again now.

Play Misty For Me is my sleeper pick for HOLY FUCK TERRIFYING, possibly (probably) because of a lifetime of ignoring Rule #3.

But the scariest movie of all time? Fuck you if you don't think Aliens is some paralyzingly frightening shit. I saw that movie in the theater when it came out (I was 9 and my mom thought I was seeing some dumb kid movie) and I swear I didn't sleep with the lights off for a week. And it's the only movie that's possibly gotten even scarier as I get older because there are so many LAYERS of horror there and the best ones aren't even comprehensible to a little kid.

Wait, Alien or Aliens? I fully agree that the first was a great horror movie. The second was always more of a sci-fi action flick to me. Not scary really, but great nonetheless.

For frightening space movies, I'll always have a soft spot for Event Horizon. Something about watching that just really creeped me out.

I've never been able to get any philosopher to explain exactly how one would directly experience and observe reality without the use of a biological apparatus designed/evolved for the purpose of experiencing and observing reality.

My senses detect that you are back.

where the fuck have you been, and where are the Goddamned pancakes?


My powers were needed elsewhere, but with the current illness of you and the country, I figured it was time come back. The pancakes are returning at subluminal velocity, so they're still a bit behind me.

Yep. I'm totally fine with people making claims like that, as long as they have some outstandingly strong supporting logic, or they're going to admit they've been drinking bongwater peyote cocktails. I'm up for either way, but at least be honest to yourself about your path.

@LMNO

It's not that I'm off track, it's that I like to nitpick what people say. I've talked to people who have said that we can't know the nature of reality because we can't directly experience and observe it. They were trying to imply that we needed more precise input methods, but that's not how they phrased their claims. Yes, I've talked to some who simply say that the limits of our senses hinder our ability to understand... I'm totally fine with people making that argument. It's the ones who are trying to push some narrative about how we can't make any claims about understanding because our observations are not precise enough are the ones I take issue with, and the ones I verbally poke at.


@MithridatesXXIII

No, that's actually what the statement is... I'm asking what non-detector detector they want to use to detect that which they claim can only be detected without a detector. It's a response to being told "We can never understand the nature of reality until we can experience it directly".

Twahck, what the fuck is wrong with your paragraph spacing  :lulz:

Even my transcription of your stupid video has better format and that just shows that you write things out of compulsion and for yourself rather than to have a real conversation with others. You seem to conversate to others rather than with.
Yea... Using Tapatalk and still used to other sites that have issues with paragraphs needing multiple returns.
