2019-01-22 at 2:47 PM UTC in Funniest thing I ever heard about §m£ÂgØLNothing is made for us tall folks. I’m at work and I just had to hunch over to a desk that is below my waist height. I’m gonna be a hunch back at this rate. I try very hard to pay attention to my posture, because of this short people’s world. I’m getting one of those veridesks so I can bring it to my height.
Casper,
Straighten that back up and be proud of your gift. I saw your pic the other day, you’re a good looking young man. You got it going on doll!😋 -
2019-01-22 at 8:26 AM UTC in ATTN lanny the trannyPretty bad man, you go your whole life knowing you're probably going to outlive your parents so it's not like it's out of nowhere but he was relatively young and had a harder life than he really deserved. That's just how it be though.
I'd ask you how it feels to have abandoned your daughter, but we all know you lack the ability to acknowledge your responsibility of any of the shit you cause, so it probably feels a bit like a hangover and a VD. -

Dragging fuel tanks from one side of the base to the other using the Snowcat and having it break down on you and then having to fuck around with it to get it going again taught you what "chilly willy" really meant.

Originally posted by CASPER Wine has become my favorite lately. Beer makes me piss too much and hard alcohol hits too hard. Red wine is the perfect in between. Cabernet sauvignon seems to be most popular, but I don't really dig tannins too much yet. Besides the 2 bottles of Sanctuary 2012 that I saved for new years, pinot noir has been kind of a miss too. But malbecs, red zinfandel, merlot and bordeaux dug. I even have a tiny lil collection going.
you seem to have the same general taste that I do, you would probably also enjoy Grenache and Syrah. Merlot, cab, malbec, grenache, syrah, those are my five basic red wine grapes that don't do me wrong. Of course there are hundreds of varietals, some very obscure and limited to region, but you can't go wrong with the "basics", so to speak.
once you get the grape types you like you should hone in on some regions, france, italy, california, chile, and spain are my top five. not only are there differences in the soil ("terroir") but different countries have different standards of doing things. Italy and France are pretty traditional but also experiment with and use high tech stuff, Californians are either uber scientific or are meditating outside naked with their grapes. Australians are almost all about technology, consistent good wine but nothing special, no soul. you get the idea.
the most important thing is age though. the difference between 1 year and 5 years is pretty huge, the difference between 5 and 10 is light years. 10-15 is the sweet spot for red wine, any older than that and you're really gambling. Not all wines are meant to age forever. But god damn, a 13, 14 year old bottle of wine is an entirely different affair than a normal table wine, it is pure ambrosia.
don't get caught up in the trap of buying big brand names for stupid money! One of my favorite wines/good deals is a Cali Syrah/Mourverdre/Grenache (Oak Meadow), 2003, $9.99! Have had many similarly tasty and priced wines from Chile. Finding amazing, underappreciated wine for wino tier prices is a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure most people that spend $50-$70 on a bottle of 3 year old wine have never had a proper glass of wine. -
2019-01-18 at 8:49 PM UTC in I just seen a 'homeless' man standing at an intersection with a sign that says 'Hungry- 50 cents will help, $$'I saw a soaking wet homeless girl crouched in front of the 7/11 bawling her eyes out the other day, so I gave her a $20 and told her to go across the street and buy herself a bowl of soup and a sandwich, and when I handed the $20 over, she asked, "You wouldn't happen to have another $20 on you, would you, Sir?"

Originally posted by Obbe Your light needs a specific voltage to function properly. Whether we refer to this force as 120 volts or 500 Ubik doesn't really matter. There is a force that objectively exists and we can all see that when your light turns on.
Lights require lots of different quantum phenomena, like surface effect, to work.
That means that the universe is governed by invisible rules and effects that we can't see (as they have no material reality) and can't predict without recourse to mathematical probability.
The idea that the universe is objective is wrong, but I don't understand, are you saying ideas don't real or what? -

Originally posted by Lanny On the contrary, they seem to measure goodness or badness in about the same way as the reading of a voltmeter measures voltage across a circuit. It's true you need some kind of justification that the measure actually reflects the thing measured, but you should at least see that if such a justification is compelling then we have reason to believe in an "objective" morality.
I'm not really sure what you mean by "referential". I think there some actions that are good or bad, and that saying so is more than a mere statement of opinion.
Electrical potential is electrical potential, whether we refer to it as a "volt" or anything else doesn't matter. There is actually a force that we are measuring, no matter what we call it.
Human life is only good if you imagine it is good. There is no measurent we can make that will tell us objectively how good it is. There is nothing to be measured. -
