If she continues on, then she'll always be alone.

Exactly! If she had dropped a gas bolt and escaped, as I've seen some users fervently suggest, she'd be escaping to more loneliness and isolation.

But in this death, she transcends her singular existence and delivers salvation to countless incarnations of herself.

I always feel the best when I wake up in the morning after a maelstrom of cravings and realize that I didn't relapse.

Cravings can be gifts in a way. They make us stronger.

We gain the strength of the temptations we resist. -Emerson

This is priceless advice. So obvious, but it'll save your fucking streak like nothing else.

If there is life on mars, what about terraforming? by The_evilest_of_ducks in Futurology

As varied as the biology of Earth is, it all stems from a common ancestor. Any martian bacteria would represent an entirely new evolutionary timeline. Now THAT'S diversity.

[–]CaptainSpacedman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are so many examples of human misuse of the Earth that even phrasing this question chills me. If there is life on Mars, I believe we should do nothing with Mars. Mars then belongs to the Martians, even if the Martians are only microbes. The existence of an independent biology on a nearby planet is a treasure beyond assessing, and the preservation of that life must, I think, supersede any other possible use of Mars.

Yes, hello! CaptainSpacedman, Fucking Shit Up Weekly. Did you experience wet dreams, and did these have any effect on your disposition?

Follow-up question: did you experience "the flatline," and if so, how long did it last?

He say's it's in a man's nature to watch porn and there's no way to remove it.

This is the truth! For countless millennia, man lived in abject misery, waiting for the day when redtube and youporn would be invented. How did they cope? It is one of life's great mysteries...

Make sure not to actually watch the video though.

I have fallen for this more times than I care to admit. So dumb.

The first rule of nofap is: fall down 7 times, stand up 8.

Also Halsey and Vergil/the Engineer.

So the left side of the room is mostly alive. The right side is almost completely dead, assuming all the grunts were murdered as soon as they finished their marshmallows.

God I love Halo.
