Its obvious from your posts that logic isnt really your strong suit, but no. Your sentence should read, "by that logic, if someone said it is impossible, that tells me nothing about whether its possible" But that isnt what matters. What matters is that you got to smugly feel like the...

Literally every time humanity has achieved something great, there have been lots of people smugly opining "that can't be done! we've never done that before" Imagine sitting on the internet after thousands of years of human achievement and going "I'm gonna join the smugly opining side, that'll...

The ancestors of Americans didnt say "hey that sea voyage is gonna be really unformfortable, screw that". So Americans get to exist. The ancestors of Europeans didnt say "hey leaving Africa is a lot of hiking and fighting prehistoric beasts, screw that". So Europeans get to exist. The...

Theres a thing that bothers lots of people in this community. Maybe most. That thing doesnt bother you. And you make sure to proclaim this at every opportunity, and then criticize everyone else for being bothered by that thing. Its become more or less your identity on the subject of anything...

Shrug, you made a post complaining about how people were responding to the movie. Seems at least a little butthurt if I'm being honest.

I said this like 20 pages ago. "What, is this movie gonna become good despite the casting because the camera guy held the camera just right, or the actor did just the right things with his face?" And then you come in with Its like somebody puts a plate full of shit in front of you and you're...

Why is Valerie Jarret kissing a young Charleton Heston? I think thats AI

For anyone who hasn't watched the muppet episode yet: yes its every bit as bad as you imagine, and no they don't do anything interesting or funny with it.

Dont worry I'm sure they wouldnt use AI to design the sequences, that sounds risky (*they'll 100% use AI to design the sequences)

Kind of wild that the muppet captains hair is about 10x less ridiculous than the RL captains hair. I mean imagine that, they make a muppet version of you and it looks less silly.

Its kind of mind boggling people are still doing powdered drugs in the age of fentanyl. I mean granted, when I was doing coke in the 90s, there were already some people saying "oh thats too dangerous!" but it was based on like urban legends about rat poison. Never knew anyone who got sick from...

Cautious optimism based on ep 1. I like this Hal. "Why don't you wear your suit anymore?" "You know how when you're young and you want to prove yourself so you show up wearing a tie? Then you get older and realize ties are a pain in the ass" John is boring and bland but hes there for contrast...

"Surfing the internet". I read someone use this phrase unironically today and it reminded me how much I've hated the phrase ever since it came out in like the fucking early 2000s or whatever. You're sitting on your ass, moving your thumb while you stare at a shining rectangle. "Surfing the...

A more effective counterpoint might involve more than literally just a pixel. To be clear, I do see a lighter pixel moving against the grainy background. I'm just denying the assertion that its evidence of any object whatsoever, let alone a physical object of extraterrestrial origin.

Videos like this one - chosen as an arbitrary representative of its type - have got me pondering. I can't think of another phenomenon like this in human experience. Where two people can watch the same thing and one confidently asserts "hey theres something there!" while the other goes "what? no...
