Counterpoint: your consciousness is transferred anywhere in the world ever. How do you escape your cultural programming, and what does it mean to be free?

I mean, the universe is just an experiment in experience. Even with the bullshit, it’s better to have been than to never have been

And it’s so damn good to be here. In the cold, in the hot, in the empty. It’s a good suffering

Why are these guilty pleasures? I unironically LOVE all the movies I recognize and can’t wait to check out the one I don’t recognize. These movies are fucking tits. Fight me.

Edit: except for the guy that said the 2016 version of Ghostbusters. No. Just no.

Front stoop of my house! Many a cigarette been smoked and many a quandary has been pondered

Super weird! I am NOT the kind of person to get hit on, average on a good day. But thank you!

The Miss “my state” came to sing the national anthem for a big sports event at my job. I took care of the sound for her and we chatted a little bit. She was constantly barraged by guys coming up and wanting a picture with her, so we didn’t get to have too much of a conversation. She sang the anthem, and was moving on to her next engagement and I said glad to meet you and was about to go back to the rest of my job. She stopped me and said " but we didn’t get a picture together!" I told her it was ok, I understand that it’s part of her job. She insisted and handed HER phone to someone walking by and insisted they take a picture of us. After they returned her phone she looked me in the eye and asked for my phone number so she could send it to me. I have a wonderful girlfriend and I would never cheat on her, but miss “my state” asked ME for my number, and I have been walking on air ever since.

The most important thing I ever realized, if I want to compliment a woman, you never compliment her on her features, you compliment her on her choices. “Hey you look cute” is automatically going to put her hackles up. “Hey, I really like your dress” is a neutral statement you can make that doesn’t make you a danger. Which is what most women view men as after a lifetime of being treated as prey.

Buddhism is effectively a “how to” guide to satisfaction , it just goes against everything corporations preach. To be fair, I’m not strong enough to be a Buddhist, but of the religions I’ve studied, it seems pretty open and shut, “follow these instructions and you will have a good life”. Buddhism wins. But it doesn’t involve parties and such

No worries, I’ve got all the time in the world! I appreciate it

Which is why I love enders game. Motherfucker was so brutal, the only thing slowing him down was exhaustion from killing EVERYTHING. The climax was about him realizing what he’d done

This is a scientific paper I would like to see submitted honestly. A simple game, but still with plenty of nuance…how would an AI develop a winning strategy?

I think it was the same intern that accidentally told Hawaii it was about to be hit by an icbm

I just want to say thank you to OP. I am going out and treating myself to all the stuff little me wanted

Fuck yeah brother. I’m glad you God that perfect itch scratched. Also. Buy all the beyblades!

Best. Toy. Ever. I am both proud and so very envious of you

My girlfriend has an unopened original Optimus prime. I told her how fucking awesome that was, she gave it to me as a "dowry’. I fucking love that woman. Yes I’m going to marry her

Old man checking in here. Yuffie from ff7 was the most aggravating character ever

If I couldn’t get a Toyota, I’d buy a Honda!
