SMP Life is Being Drunk -Random Content thread - Page 285

Indeed. We got them free of Spain and then in a fit of moral hysteria let the Cubans have it back after only a few years of military governance. The Cubans have been mucking up their home island and shooting themselves in the foot every since. Time for us to get it back and show them how it is done and let them lament their more than 100 years of bleakness and mediocrity.

I'm increasingly and reluctantly coming to the conclusion (a long time behind Zeno, and thanks partly to this forum), that the coherency of people's mental models max out at the point where they run into limiting flaws and incapacitates in their brains. That the ability to grasp and model difficult concepts without a guide is largely nature and not nurture.

That is of course the logical/sensible view if you're coming at this from first principles (life tends to thrive), but still a bit disappointing.

Drinking a pint of H. American Pale Ale from the Hackney Brewery. A fine symbol of Anglo American cooperation.

Cheers Trolly.

If you mean it across people, the jury is still out and your statement seems foolish. Some of my best friends wear eyeglasses and take a multivitamin because their genetics are horrific. Some of them even have to use a stepstool to reach the upper cupboards. A few of them have had to rely on learning stuff to understand stuff.

Nice. Hopefully this will lead to hours and hours and hours and hours of work.

I ran out of Tuborg and contemplating opening a vintage bottle of Listerine.

Silly brits attempting to hinder the inevitable one world government/ type 1 civilisation as alluded to in the bible under the rule of the antichrist Kaku and false prophet Raymond Kurweil.

Go for the cheap stuff at the dollar store. Listerine has ingredients. Ingredients are bad.

Tuborg is a retro 70s beer. It belongs with bell-bottoms, unisex salons and Herve Villechaize. You must be some kind of hipster, Mackeleven.

It's pretty rough out of a can. They sell it on draft for only 3 euro a pint in my local and it's not much better. A Scottish mate of mine will order one pint of Heineken and the rest Tuborg as it all tastes the same after the first, he says.

Tuborg er den bedste, Heineken lugter stinkdyr og Carlsberg sucks!

For some, the alcohol is not enough; it has to be imbibed in a pub/bar, too. I've known people you had to prise out of the pub. All night they're drinking fast, then come last orders they're drinking slow, because finishing that last drink means leaving the pub.

Would there be a similar phenomenon with other drugs, were they legal?

The fresh smell of progress. I'm feeling toasty.

Got to use "strategic economic rioting for marketing purposes" in a sentence today. Have mercy.

Since I recently finish a book by Rushdie (Joseph Anton, I posted about it here I think) this news I find interesting.

Iran's state media imposes new $600000 fatwa on salman-rushdie

I was thinking of make a serious post about this somewhere - but where?

Very true. But not in the same class as a Lord Nelson.

Should you try to get revenge on someone who you feel really screwed your life or does an eye for an eye leave the whole world blind.

Why do we feel revenge will make us feel vindicated and does it?

Are there evolutionary reasons for why revenge is built into the human psyche, so to speak..

I think revenge is simply good game theory. Those who didn't have a revenge instinct/feeling would be totally exploitable. Evolution has no doubt selected it.

As for the other question, revenge served properly - without too much energy/time invested, with honor, a higher purpose, utter cold ruthlessness - is a wonderful feeling. Most people screw it up though and end up feeling worse.

Read The Count of Monte Cristo imo.
