Oh they deserve it, just not because of their music. I used to hang with a few guys that grew up in the same town, the stories they would tell...

The man who created Labradoodles regrets his actions

Birds are way smarter than we give them credit for. Im possitive that the smarter ones have a rudimentary language, specifically corvids. Owls are so cool, where I live I can go spot great horned owls just hiking around.

If I were smarter I would research the feasability of an astro-turf substrate that captures microplastics and forever chemicals while somehow not disrupting the petrachor and other microbes. Can a smarter capable person see this and run with it? My hope is that if I am thinking this then the really smart people already are.

Edit: ok, I can see how it isnt a great idea. Thank you

I am so sorry for your friend.

Too many people live in la-la-it-cant-happen-to-me-land and take that attitude with them behind the wheel. I think that to qualify for a drivers license one should be required to watch car crash footage and see pictures of the aftermath like you do in a good forklift safety video, because people really do not understand the relative forces involved with moving at a high rate of speed.

Does it look like your friend will ever recover his mobility?

But if we dont have free will morals dont exist because you arent actually chosing anything, if free will doesnt exist we arent choosing those punishments either. It was all mechanically determined before the first star went supernova and created heavy elements. To quote Pigeon of Mike Tyson Mysteries "whatevers gonna happen, is gonna happen anyways"

I personally believe that free will exists because of the quantum nature of our universe. I think when quntum effects collapse into macro effects that is the universal uncaring impersonal consciousness presenting itself to discreet personalized units of consciousness in a way we can understand and work with. I think the entire universe has consciousness and that when our containers can no longer maintain the biological loci of experience we return to that eternal, ever present, always safe universal consciousness, the source of the sense of identity.

Consciousness does all this because a universe where nothing 'unpredictable' happens and there is no 'other' to share experience with would be eternal solitary confinement.

Just my thoughts on the matter of free will, obviously un-provable and un-testable in our current state of being.

Yep, your brain percieves stimuli and generates a virtual internal reality that runs with a tiny time delay between the objective reality and your internal subjective simulation of it. So we live in a simulation even if our universe is the objectively 'real' one, or we live in a simulation of a simulation.

Your personality may also be a simulation internaly created so that you have a way to 'justify' your bodies actions to other entities. Split brain experiments are veeeery interesting.

This is pure conjecture but I sometimes wonder if neuro-divergencies are caused by a fault in the internal simulation via brain chemistry

I learned recently that alcohol reduces GABA production in the brain, leading to increased feelings of depression, stress and anxiety.

My life is 1000% better without alcohol, and your life will be too. Come with me on a journey of self care and self improvement. Life is long and your future self will thank you.

If you respect your money, it will respect you back. Wasting it on alcohol is disrespectful towards your money, your body, your family and your mind. You can not change the past but you can decide today, right here right now, to build a self-respecting future.

If you fall into a bottle today or tomorrow dont lose hope, you never run out of chances to free yourself and you have more strength than you know.

D'aaawww. Im am so happy Jon Stewart is back on the air.

I still have my best boy. His name is Bailey and he is the sweetest boy (except for when my wife is pregnant, then he is frightening.) Bailey can run so fast and leap a 6' fence from a standstill, but he wont. Our fence is 3' and he just respects the fence. Such a good boy. I think he deserves a treat now.

Hey, you, I also love FFT. Just beat it again last week. Whats your favorite play style? I always think this time Im really going to do a low level challenge run, but then I get Orlandu and his power corrupts me. Next thing I know everyone has learned serpentarius (Besides dummy Ramza) and I have everyone weilding a chaos blade/ excaliber combo with draw out and a fat stock of chirijiraden.

You ever beat Ultima before she gets a second turn? Feels bad man
