Teh Official OMG WTF thread.

[HellFire]

Meh,I'll see how long I can stay here,not for too long anyway,I'll probably just end up staying for these 6 months until the contract expires in june. After that,I'm done

 

[Biggy]

In other news , I stopped smoking.

 

[HellFire]

yeah right,and I started to love my schedule

 

[Biggy]

For real, and the weirdest thing is that I actually don't feel the need to smoke, and I have no problems being with people who smoke near me or going out drinking also does not make me want to smoke.

 

[Biggy]

All I had to do was one simple thing, when you will find out what it was your mind will be blown.

/Clickbait

 

[Sere]

Yeah, it's easy. Let's see how long it lasts.

That's how it almost always is. Until you manage to fool yourself that you had a hard day and should reward yourself with a cigarette.

Only that for me cigars were never a reward thing.

And how come it always is easy to quit if so many have problems in doing so? I tried several times to quit but couldn't make it past one week w/o craving and this time I simple don't feel any need for it.

Since we were talking about abiogenesis earlier:

Lazy eyes, sure, but quite an informative look into the last few decades of research.

"So we still lack any kind of evidence for abiogenesis, but here's how it could have happened!"

This is the part which becomes a bit like religion which I can't take.

 

[HellFire]

I tend to agree with lojique here,they might know some things,but until they manage to prove it 100% It could be wrong.

 

[Bavanai]

get your tinfoil hats on

rewatched "Alexander", seen it when it appeared in 2004 and thought it was awesome back then so I figured hey, let's rewatch that baby. besides being full of overt and covert homoerotic undertones (why the fuck are all these big movies filled with them?), also noticed this:

It's a theory governed by hypotheses. It also happens to be scientific: it's falsifiable, testable etc. Which means it's worth studying and investigating further. And it is, currently, being investigated further.

I don't know what you expect. Throw their hands up and go "NOPE WE GIVE UP WE CAN'T POSSIBLY DO THIS"? Adopt other theories (which aren't scientific)? Maybe god did it. How do you test that? Comb some sketchy thousand-year-old book for hidden meanings?

I tend to agree with lojique here,they might know some things,but until they manage to prove it 100% It could be wrong.

Nowhere in the video is it said that it isn't wrong. Nowhere is it said that it's totally 100% what happened. But based on what we currently know with regards to evolution, it's the most workable theory.
Emphasis on theory. In scientific fields, a theory doesn't need to be proven.

@shade no man, all I mean is that these theories are presented as fact when it's premature to call them facts. Like abiogenesis, which, for the moment, is a theory of how it may have happened, being presented as how it happened. I don't think that this is a good thing.

You misunderstand theories then. Theories are explanations of how things happen. Determining whether they are correct or not is a constant process (of trying to prove them wrong), but theories don't graduate to facts when they're proven. We don't call it the germ fact or the fact of gravity. So whatever language we use when we present them is irrelevant.

 

[Bavanai]

Shade, what's your take on these things from big movies and big recording artists? Homoeroticism, the pyramid, various other occult symbolism. I know you don't buy the conspiracy crap, but if not that, then what would you suppose that they mean if you were to guess?

 

[Shade]

My take is that if you go search for X and you are convinced that X exists, then you will find X (where X is a pattern or something to do with a pattern).

Turns out if you take certain rows and columns of letters from some parts of the bible, they spell things like Hitler. Turns out of you take certain rows and columns from any sufficiently large book, they spell things like Hitler.

Confirmation bias.

 

[Bavanai]

I'm well aware of confirmation bias, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it since I stopped reading "illuminati" shit like 5 years ago and only recently I have started noticing these things. I repeat, I wasn't looking for them, I just started noticing them recently, since they are like patterns and I have a good eye for patterns.

These are just some I noticed in more recent popular music videos. There's a lot more but I just wanna give you a general idea. They're also to be found in movies. What they seem to have in common with the songs and movies they are present in is homosexuality, promiscuity, unfaithfulness, "good girl gone bad" thematic, corruption, etc.
