Originally posted by mmQ You can't force someone to befriend you. I mean technically your technique is valid but one of you isn't leaving the room alive so if you wanna be friends it's gonna come down to who dies first of starvation or whatever.
Ohhh... So the scenario is such that I only one of us can leave alive, no matter what?
Well, I could try to initiate a friendship that will last until we run out of food.
But human nature doesn't really lend itself well to that kind of mutual altruism.
Eventually, someone's will to survive takes over and the other one ends up dead. -

Originally posted by DietPiano Everything is drugs. Oxygen is drugs. Dirt is drugs. Eat some dirt, it is drugs, it does things to your body just like drugs. Water is drugs. Every chemical is drugs, because every chemical interacts with your body in a certain way. There is no way to be "drug free".
That is definitely an interesting perspective.
Although I do think one could poke some holes in it, since there is kind of a "neurotypical" way of day-to-day living that we engage in, and inebriation is a way of altering that temporarily.
Some people (and I have no no fucking clue how they manage to do it) go their whole lives without ingesting any truly inebriating chemicals.
Eating dirt doesn't really change your mental state all that much, nor does drinking water. But eating shrooms or drinking liquor, those have a noticeable impact on our state of mind.
It's that kind of noticeable mental alteration I feel addicted to. -

Originally posted by DietPiano Historically, the extreme end of rural. Town of 250.
Living in a small town about that size really appeals to be actually.
There's a tiny town just a half hour drive from here that I plan to move to one day.
It has a population of 6,000 though, so a bit bigger than your original hometown. -

Originally posted by mmQ Of course we can! Use the art of conversation to win a hypothetical physical fight to death as described in my original post.
Then, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, my solution would be to befriend the person.
If my choices are:
1. Fight somebody to the death (one of us, thus, dies).
2. Make a new friend.
It's kind of a no brainer. -

Originally posted by Mewsik Learning from past life wrongs, doing your best to not create new ones in this life, and finding your true purpose in this life. You won’t find that by polluting your self or looking for your true purpose from outside influences or motivators such as money or fame or greed. Many people find it during their most challenging times, but holding onto it and remembering requires true surrenty and peace.. once you have done so .. your soul’s vibration will reach the correct velocity to become one with the creator … if not, you come back and do it again or it is also possible to simply burn out and become nothing at all. Very rarely was that the case just 100 years ago.
I think I have a singular purpose that guides me.
I want to establish a unified theory of absolutely everything, so that we can extrapolate from it cures for disease, solutions to social and economic problems, and so on.
And on top of it all, I want it to be able to satisfactorily answer the deep philosophical questions that plague the human social consciousness:
1. What is substance?
2. What is reality?
3. What is consciousness?
4. How did the universe come into being?
I feel like the answer to all of these questions is to be found in the same place as my hypothesized unified theory stated above.
That's my life mission.
To formulate that theory, and apply it's magic like some kind of shaman. -

Originally posted by Obbe Meaning isn't something things just have, meaning is something humans give to things. Life has whatever meaning you give it.
Some people don't give life any meaning and so they lose themselves, lose touch and fall into the void.
So meaning is up for grabs, then?
I guess I can work with that.
But I will always wonder, somewhere in the back of my mind, if I'm truly right in whatever I assume to be that meaning. -

Originally posted by midniteblues First thing I would say is deal with your shit SOBER. No one has the answers, especially the bible thumpers.And as far as coming back (reincarnation) that is really reaching. One life, live it accordingly to your beliefs and don't rely on an afterlife where your bullshit is forgiven because you suddenly acquired a conscious on your dying bed.
Let the mystery be.
So the mystery is the meaning?
That's an interesting thought.
Maybe continually asking what is the meaning of life is the very meaning of life.
To question is to be human. -

2018-11-17 at 5:01 AM UTC in Fight to the death techniquesWait, why I are we fighting, anyway?
Can't we just resolve our differences using the art of conversation and conflict resolution? -

2018-11-17 at 4:52 AM UTC in Are you Rural, Urban, or Suburban?I live in a town that basically a mix of urban and rural.
I'm surrounded by farms, but I live in the downtown (urban) district where all the hobos and derelicts live.
But it's nowhere near as metropolitan as the nearest major city (Vancouver).
But it is close enough to drive to. -

Originally posted by -SpectraL Real. The bad aliens can't really tell the future, but they have a very detailed and well-thought plan already, so they know basically what they are going to do.
But aliens are Hollywood fiction, tho.
Now E.T., The Extra Terrestrial, his ass is real.
I roll with him from time to time.
But all those grey-headed, reptilioid "ancient" aliens ain't real. -

Originally posted by Ughhu How would you kill them? If it were me and they were in bed I would use a sledge hammer. Hardest part would be kim & dad since they share a bed. Kill the kids first so no witnesses scream, then into parents room. Collapse dad’s skull then go for Mom. Better not smoke too much weed before tho, gotta be accurate with those hammer swings
You may be a sociopath.
Can Cortana help you find someone to kill today? -
2018-11-17 at 4:35 AM UTC in Predict the Future
Originally posted by -SpectraL That's how the demons (bad aliens) "tell the future". They don't really tell the future, but they make it appear as if they did. They say something will happen and then they themselves just make it happen. That gets people to trust them, because those people are too stupid to see the trick.
Are you being real talk or just lulz? -
2018-11-17 at 4:33 AM UTC in Meth vs CrackOh, and btw, I might be a meth convert now.
Crack is pure bliss for like 1 minute, but then you just need more.
Meth is mediocre bliss for like 5 minutes, but then you just need more. -
