Are burgers sandwiches?

I’m gonna say no.

With enough time we can have the technology to bend the laws of reality to our whim. If humanity were more ‘focused’ this would come to fruition in less time. Could be thousands of years, could be millions. That part is pointless to speculate.

That won’t happen, though. It’s a fantasy.

And how many of humanity’s achievements were labeled fantasy that prior to those breakthroughs happening?

Big difference between going to someone in ancient Rome and telling them “in the future; people can listen to music anywhere through these mini music-boxes that go in your ear,” and saying that humans will be able to ‘bend reality’ (which doesn’t even mean anything). And even if it was possible (it isn’t), it would have to happen so far in the future that humanity very likely won’t ever get to that point before going extinct.

Give me an example of a non-sandwich post.

I assumed the idea was that people would debate whether food items classified as sandwiches or not; for example, a hotdog.

Maybe she helped or encouraged someone else at a key moment in their life. Maybe she saved an abandoned cat. Even a small contribution is valuable.

As it pertains to the lives of everyday people? Yes it is. As it pertains to the Universe? Absolutely not.

Tell me, who has ever lived on this planet that has ever contributed anything to the Universe?

Unless we are being monitored by some other intelligent life in the Cosmos (or they stumbled onto something of our in space) and that effect ripples until an event of great importance happens we haven’t…ergo all of our lives are meaningless.

Everything will one day come to an end: humanity, the earth, the planets and stars…all will become lifeless until another Big Bang cycle hopefully produces another set of miniscule planets that manage to develop life. You realize that no human has ever done more than influence other humans who live on this planet. It is that influence that has given humanity meaning. If we are an influence for good, then our lives have been worthwhile. If you cannot believe that, then humanity is nothing more than a biological blip in a virtually 100% lifeless, meaningless universe.

Exactly. You seem repulsed at the idea.

I’m repulsed by the idea that, no matter your views on the afterlife, your view of the here-and-now includes so little compassion as to feel no remorse at wishing someone who repulses you dead. Such a negative outlook on your fellow humans is really far more damning than publicly drinking from ketchup bottles.

It’s not just the act, it’s the reason she did it. The reason she did it ties into my overall look humanity and the universe.

Yeah, people shouldn’t do things that they enjoy.

Why do exemplary people matter, then? Don’t they matter just as little as everyone else?

We’re just as insignificant to the universe as the universe is to us. To me, the fact of our inherent worthlessness only means that we have to make our own worth and enjoy the short time we have in existence.

I’m shocked that the biggest piece of garbage in politics may have lied to congress; just shocked, I tell you.

Lord Haseo said:

No one like that adds anything to society nor the relationships they have cultivated. I don’t think it’s harsh at all when you think about it in that way.

That’s a lot to infer from someone drinking a bottle of ketchup.

^trying to give your comment the benefit of the doubt, but that sure seems like a shitty fat-shaming thing to say.

Maybe he’s actually ketchup-shaming (which I am totally okay with).

I’ve been playing a heap of Fallout 3 recently. I know it gets a lot of hate, but if this is the worst Fallout game, I can’t wait to play the best.

It isn’t, that would be 4. The best of the 3D is New Vegas, no doubt.

I was wondering if any of you knew what its like to overdose on heroin? Is it actually a painless way that a person would die?

I hope you’re asking purely out of curiosity.

Wonder Woman - haven’t seen it yet. I originally thought I’ll skip this one, mainly because of the feminist propaganda surrounding it

Please elaborate.

Have you guys been keeping up on the new Battlefront II stuff out of E3? I think there’s a definite possibility of using footage from the game in an edit. I agree that it probably won’t work to use footage of Heroes, but maybe the footage can be used to spice up battle sequences, particularly in the prequels. The droids and clones in the movies are already CG, and worse CG than the game IMO.

Suicide Squad is the first movie I’ve ever considered walking out on. Not only was it terrible; but it was embarrassing to watch.

I hadn’t liked any DC movie since The Dark Knight.

Not Rises?

Question for the Brits: what’s deal between Labour and Liberal Democrats? Is there a coalition possibility there?

Very possible, you could also include the SNP (Scottish National Party) in there with them

Very interesting. We’ll see what happens I guess.

If anything Trump is proving everyday how fucking stupid it is to elect someone without any experience in political office. If people wanted a populist “outsider” to shake up the system (whatever you think that means), they’ve (at the every least) picked the wrong person.

Well, the only other person who promised anything like that; didn’t get the nomination. I agree, though, Trump preyed on the peoples’ want for a populist candidate, and if Trump was able to recognize that sentiment; I don’t know why the Hillary campaign couldn’t.

But at this point, arguing about who would’ve won is senseless; because the Trump administration is being shitty right now.

I think the idea that we needed an outsider is a strange premise though. Bernie was a career politician too.

The difference is that Bernie was principled; he didn’t change his positions based on what was popular, he wasn’t a corporate sellout. Trump is corporate, in fact; he’s the corporation, but he wasn’t very popular with other politicians, and that was appealing to the American people. Both parties thought he was a joke until he got the nomination, and even then the Democrats still thought he was a joke.

And I think there’s an argument to be made that many “populist” policies are unrealistic, at least right now, anyway

Liberal policies poll well among the American public, but you’re right; baby steps.

Beside all the negativity on Trump… I somehow doubt that Hillary Clinton really would have been a better president, in her own ways…

Maybe even then Trump situation could be something, that may bring some positive effect to the way politicans start to think and see ther damn duty as politicans.

In one way, even if I don’t agree with Trump in more than 99% of his statements, he may be right in one thing: It is time to rethink what politics should be about, and how politicans should see their duty.

I agree to an extent. I do like the message a Trump presidency sends to the career politicians, but at this point I don’t think the message is worth the rest of the package.

Honestly, this movie is my last go-round with the New Continuity - having been lukewarm about TFA and completely disappointed by Rogue One and any of the new canon novels I’ve read (exception: Lost Stars). If “The Last Jedi” is anything less than amazing, I’m out. I’ll stick with the OT and the 1990s EU stuff that I enjoy.

Not this. (I felt that it was my obligation to disagree.)

we even see Vader take on an actual army in Vader Down.

Another reason the nuEU is shit.

Don’t be so negative.

Lord Tobias said:

This assumption that vader cannot take on a army of rebels by himself is pretty retarded and diminishes vader

He went with stormtroopers because they clean the mess up that he made…not the other way around

If you’re referring to the end of Rogue One, I agree. Hell, we even see Vader take on an actual army in Vader Down.

Ehhh, let’s not take it there.

Plus, Jay did ask us to play by the rules or vacate the thread. The only real option there is to vacate the thread, because the rules are stupid.

Also, haven’t seen SilverWook lately.

We must stay strong in these trying times.

Thank. God. That’s one less thing to worry about during the Trump presidency.
