SMP Life is Being Drunk -Random Content thread - Page 509

You have to always and forever admire the fact that "stupid" (hell no) humans once saw that (that is direct friendly strike at those that think AI or aliens will see us as we see ants, yeah right) ;

Pi/4=4ArcTan(1/5)-ArtcTan(1/239)

We should study how many such identities one can form for fun.

At first sight this above (that i have known for many years but never investigated) looks very intriguing in the sense one wants to immediately either prove it (if they have the time) or find out how they saw it and if its possible to see even better ones today that converge faster.

It is better to check your documents before you put them in the envelope and seal it up rather than afterwards.

Ah, the joys of the below-average elite. Will buffalo wings be provided? Dominoes always had some nice tasting wings for a place that’s not a bar.

Few things are creepier than finding out it is baby wolf spider season the hard way. And that’s trying to remove one from the house and all the hundreds of it’s young ones start crawling off it’s back. Creepy AF.

Anyway, tonight’s post brought to the thread by Newcastle Brown Ale, it’s got a star encased in an oval on it’s label, so not exactly a pentagram. But still delicious.

Apparently English cucumbers are better than the other kind; I just learned. Must be why Bertie Wooster was always munching on cucumber sandwiches at Blandings Castle.

They are excellent. Thin-skinned like a 2+2 member, no fertile seed like a 2+2 member, no girth to make a non-2+2 member appreciate its ugliness.

A true message in a bottle for the aeons unless we collect it for the fun of it one day (what is the chance some eccentric brings it back to earth... adds an update in the plaque and then quickly puts it back to where it was going? Yes dare to be audacious like that)

I dont know about that. The species clearly has 2 sexes anatomically 97% of the time or so and the skin colors of both members of the species can be anything especially the woman. Plus they show no emotional interaction.

To not be able to see that possibility in at least her is a problem in my opinion (counterstrike lol).

The message to the aliens is still sexist, imo. They could both be ready to put up a fight.

Ugh!

Wait, you haven’t heard the good news? Autistics can have emotions too! Thank careful observations for that.

That I can't take it too seriously is not a mistake on my part. But many assume so.

Well, I do have behavior and can witness behavior, so I am as qualified as pseudo-behaviorists at least. It’s always interesting when some people show emotions in ways some other people do not expect. Like punk rock, or sending in a marching band full of clowns to confront the crypto-fascists.

A behaviorist, so understood, is someone who demands behavioral evidence for any psychological hypothesis. For such a person, there is no knowable difference between two states of mind (beliefs, desires, etc.) unless there is a demonstrable difference in the behavior associated with each state.
