Hold crap this is an old thread! Someone went searching for me. Aw.

This is a great thread. Space is something that has always fascinated me. How we got here, how we evolved from one cell organisms, how when you break our bodies down into the most basic compounds; minerals, we are made of the stuff found in stars and other planets. I've read a few books from Carl Sagan, things about evolution (Eve by Cat Bohannon is amazing). I'm currently reading a book about the discovery of the human genome and how we've come to know so much about it just in the last 75 tears. In terms of the "ghost" thing (since I am just catching up), I also believe there is more to what we can actually see, feel, hear out there. I've had a few experiences myself that lead me to believe that there's something out there. My mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother also had several experiences, so I am of the belief that it's something inherited. Whether that's a sixth sense or something specific in the brain, I don't know. Now, the whole Creator, lucky, miracle thing...I am not so sold on. I myself have had experiences where "had I turned the wheel of the car one way, I would be dead." And things like that. Miracle? Meh. Last minute choice that my brain took less that a second to turn the wheel left instead of right? That might just be chance. Our brains are always looking for an answer to things, and we love to play scenarios in our heads where things make sense to us. The neurons in your brain are made to bring happiness, fluidity, etc. We hate confusion. Needing an answer to creation is something that we needed to do as a race. Why did we go from having several Gods that belonged to the Romans to just one Christian God? I think Ricky Gervais explained it perfectly on Colbert. If you destroyed all evidence of Bibles, Gods, stories passed down, our brains would NEED to have some kind of new creation theory. But, the thing that always remains true are things like math and science. Is there something larger out there that we will likely never understand or have concrete answers to? IMO, yes. I've yet to see something, ANYTHING that would lead me to believe in miracles. My mother has been slowly dying and fading away for the last 2.5 years. She lost the ability to get out of bed, speak, or communicate in ANY way about 2 years ago. She eats pureed food. Her body is folded and stiff due to Parkinson's and strokes. She's only 72. Any God that puts one of his children through that, not to mention the others around her that love and literally are part of her. That piece of "God" never makes sense to me. A miracle to me right now would be that God finally calls her home and ends all of this. ETA: In terms of life on other planets; we assume that they are carbon based life forms. There are likely elements out there that we haven't discovered yet that these other life forms use in some way.

Check yes or no.

Ok. Whatever you say, Tim.

Abso-fcking-lutely. Watch him. If he doesn't reject our votes I will be surprised. But, I then expect Executive Orders, or more suing to occur. More money tossed away that CA doesn't have.

If you read the INA, you'd see we already have this. Stop using commentary and opinion pieces as research. The link you posted above is a commentary piece on if we treat white immigrants differently than brown.

"Screw you guys, I'm going home. Talkin' poo is where I draw the line."

This. Our vote has been disregarded on several SBs, ABs, Props, etc. We vote for something, it passes, and Gavin decides he either doesn't like it or doesn't want to fund it. Dictator right there. It's awful. I don't like him anyways, but doing stuff like this isn't really "democracy" that he keeps crying about.

Sure! Self care at its finest!

Some of you guys REALLY need a hobby that doesn't involve a screen. Go for a walk, or a run. Go read a book (hopefully non-political). Go do some push-ups. Go get a cheap set of dumbbells and clock yourself in the head and take a lil nappy. Jeezuz.

Excellent choice. I also really like "Precious."

Oh that's interesting. I don't think that meshes with the movies, either,

Same here. I know of know one that's complaining about this. I recently went to a local chamber meeting for my city and they didn't appear any different, not one small business owner complaining about any of what Tim is saying. Yet, it's ALL of them.

All opposed? All of them? Every last one?

Not sure. I picture Megala as a big bear, Tim seems more like a twink. Twinks aren't my kink.

Are you guys going to kiss, or what?

The jeans ad launched people going back to other ads that Sweeney did years ago and how THOSE companies should now also be boycotted: https://newswav.com/article/fox-news-resurfaces-sydney-sweeney-ice-cream-ad-A2508_NKqbod So ridiculous. She's an attractive white woman. Why is this an issue?

Can't decide if I am flattered or not that someone is putting a ton of time into my not answering a question from months ago. It's also kind of creepy.

Tim Tim Tim. Blah blah blah.

I am convinced that something is wrong with Tim. Like Strike mentioned, maybe he's on the spectrum; everything is taken literally with him. He NEEDS responses to his questions, even if they are MONTHS old. It's weird. It's difficult to have conversations with him because MOST of the time he's trying to back tracking explain what he means, but then it turns into back peddling and just ridiculous posts. It's exhausting.

Exactly. I mentioned my own personal happiness, as asked...and then it's switched because I mentioned that my happiness RARELY has to do with who is POTUS. Are food and gas prices higher? Sure. Do I have family, financial, and job issues coming up? Yes. Am I still generally happy and satisfied? Yes. And I terms of how the entire country is? How do I base that? From posts here - if that's the gauge, then no one here appears to be happy. Everyone is angry about something.

A-focking-men. FFS.

Peenie gets her own threads peenie because she does this.

Didn't they go after Hiroshima and Nagasaki because they were big education, military and industrial centers? the goal was destruction of military centers, not people specifically.
