  • Why do we love stories so?

    Jump

  • Stories are medicine.

    It's one healthy way for our brains to process situations, dreams, aspirations, fears and experience. And it works.

  • What would remain for a future species if humans were to vanish tomorrow?

    Jump

  • Very little, if anything, would remain of our civilization in five or six million years. At least I wouldn't think so, aside from what we have floating in outer space. Six million years is an awfully long time, and it's not like our consumer-based society builds things to last...

  • The sheer amount of acronyms used to explain my behavior is beginning to look like the eye-chart at the vision clinic.

    Jump

  • This has not been my experience, unfortunately.

  • How do you mateys and folks deal with the sheer amount of music available out there?

    Jump

  • What organizations/causes/people/whatever are most worthwhile to donate to?

    Jump

  • ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

  • NSFW Deleted

  • You make perfect sense, and I'm inclined to agree with you. I think an argument can be made that the internet, for all it's positive aspects, has made our society worse in a lot of ways. I would love to go back, even though I know it's not possible.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I believe someone else used the term 'sealioning'. It fits, in your case. This is why I don't see any point in having a debate with you. Waste your time with someone else.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • Never a waste of time to speak truth.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I see no need to do this.

  • Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality.

    Jump

  • I would argue that morality came before religion or spirituality, and therefore does not require either of them to exist.

  • Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?

    Jump

  • I'm thinking either Finland or Norway. But the only way I could ever emigrate to either of those countries would be as an asylum seeker. I don't make enough money, nor do I have any skills they want. I've got plenty of skills...just not any that are in 'high demand'.

  • Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct

    Jump

  • One doesn't do the right thing to be rewarded or to 'get ahead'. One does the right thing because it's the right thing to do. Selfishness only leads to insecurity and loneliness.

    Share your wisdom (?). Have lots of knowledge but "my bones" crave and cry out for true wisdom

    Jump

  • It doesn't help that our culture - especially internet culture - loooooooves self-deprecating 'humor'. We even put ourselves down for putting ourselves down! I've had a lot of success with trying to focus more on my triumphs than my failures. It's all about the language I use with myself, I've found. When I have a victory (even a small one), I say "Good job! You nailed it!". When I fail, I say "Well, that sucked....but you'll get it next time. Keep trying!". Most of us don't have our own personal cheerleaders, so we have to become our own. :)

    Jump

  • Emulate honorable people instead of popular people.

    Never use 'telling the truth' as an excuse to speak without thought or compassion.

    You are 100% responsible for what you say and what you do. Own your shit.

    If someone is trying, but struggling - encourage them. If someone is struggling, but not really trying - encourage them.

    Don't waste your time trying to 'be a leader' or climb any corporate ladders. Just do your job and be kind, generous, truthful and compassionate. What is meant for you will be for you.

    Read. A lot. From actual books. As many as you can get your hands on.

    Stop putting yourself down. Seriously, it's not fucking helping you. AT ALL.

  • What is something you believed was normal or true as a kid, but later found out it was not?

    Jump

  • Cooties.

  • It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books.

    Jump

  • When you reveal yourself to be a bigoted, hateful person, most evolved and compassionate people tend to dislike you.

  • What's your LEAST favorite song

    Jump

  • 'Christmas Shoes'. Google it.

  • Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?

    Jump

  • I will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once.....and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor.....who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)

  • Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?

    Jump

  • While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.
