Maybe if they keep using digital computers. What they need is an analogue system. It's much more efficient for this kind of work.

Just casually drop it as if she's known all along "My bag is coming together nicely".

in Thespeia of Boeotia (a city not far from Helikon) a child was born, Narcissus, very handsome and dismissive of both Eros and lovers.

Can you explain in what bizarro universe this is not asexuality? And can you also please explain what Narcissus did that meant he deserved to die?

You right wing trolls always want to find some excuse to say us leftists are the real bigots. So on your way to erase asexuals, demand children get into sexual relationships, and make apology for sexual harassers, you have to include some quip about your made up 4D mental gymnastics that say us asexuals are evil for admitting that one of our own might tell a sexual abuser to go commit unalive.

So although you won't admit it upsets you when I say this, I will still offend you with the statement "asexual people deserve to be allowed to live."

Well we do. I'm ace and I've told a rapist to kill themself. It's the right thing to do with rapists. Anyway, you want sources?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameinias_(mythology)

Narcissus also spurned Ameinias and gave him a sword. The latter committed suicide at Narcissus's doorstep after being rejected by him.

Ameinias though, was persistent and time after time he was rejected by Narcissus. One final rejection though would occur, and Narcissus would present the spurned Ameinias with a sword. Ameinias would commit suicide, falling on the sword, on the very doorway of Narcissus’ home.

Before he fell on the sword though, Ameinias prayed to the goddess Nemesis to avenge him. Nemesis heard the prayer, and cursed Narcissus so that Narcissus fell in love with own reflection in a pool of water.

The 24th; in Thespeia of Boeotia (a city not far from Helikon) a child was born, Narcissus, very handsome and dismissive of both Eros and lovers. While all the other lovers tried and gave up, Ameinias kept insisting and beseeching. Narcissus did not yield and sent him a sword instead. He did away with himself at Narcissus' doorway, after beseeching the god to avenge him.

So far in this conversation you've mistaken my account of Narcissus' asexuality, moved the goalposts when I pointed out your mistake, made apology for child sexual abuse, and been dead wrong about Narcissus telling Ameinias the sexual abuser to off himself. You suck. You don't know anything about Greek mythology, and you should have held your judgements until you understood the source material. You've just been lurching from lie to lie in this conversation trying to cover for your previous CSA apologism and ineptitude. Give it up. Let go of your massive ego and admit you were wrong.

Well in that case all you've done is reinvent tempo but worse. Unless you vary the rate on the fly, which requires moving the counter and/or radioactive material on the fly. And then all you've done is create a very bad musical instrument.

You can't predict the next click, that's what random means. This would never have gotten far enough to appear in front of an audience. They would have tried it at rehearsal and realised it was impossible.

No I'm not, pay attention. I'm saying he was born asexual due to random chance. You're mixing up causes and effects.

Asexuality plus trauma equals telling sexual abusers to kill themselves. That's what I'm saying. In this argument, sexuality is a cause, not an effect. You're saying I'm arguing his sexuality is an effect, but that's not true. I'm saying his sexuality is the cause of him telling Ameinias to kill himself. Pay attention.

Don't worry, there's still plenty of greedy and asshole instance owners who get a pass from their communities because of their cult of personality.

The third sentence makes it clear it's fake

  • Geiger counters aren't rhythmic, they're random
  • How would the audience know the beat matches the counter?
  • Random music doesn't sound good, the audience would be more excited for good music

Disappointed in the people who believed this.

Damn, that's a shame. I thought the ban was because they're a Nazi website.
