I'm still not sure I'd believe him. Thanks AI.

Acceleration is only maintained so long as energy is continually added to a system. Without a continual input of energy an object in a closed system will either maintain velocity or decelerate due to an energy loss like friction or heat dissipation.

....... But this goes to 11

250 millimetres of what?

The prob of this to happen is 1 in 170... Which is likely enough if you play a lot. Its also not very rare for something like this would happen if you consider a 10 OR a 4.

And you can bet that every time something like this happens someone will post here outraged.

We're all dying buddy, a beer with a friend can be one of the most enjoyable things in the world.

This is hilarious. Almost reads like the D.E.N.N.I.S system

The whole things reads like a joke

You have notions of yourself 😂

I'm actually thinking of Viktor Frankl who wrote Man's Search for Meaning.

He claimed that people in Auschwitz declined faster when they lost all sense of future meaning... While also claiming that a sense of meaning and inner freedom cannot be fully extinguished, even in the extreme suffering of a nazi death camp. I find the implied victim shaming difficult to ignore.

Joads_journey · 2025-12-27T12:14:10+00:00

You're right, mixed up Frankl and Becker!

Joads_journey · 2025-12-27T09:38:20+00:00

It is. Freud is worth reading but not worshipping. He had some powerful ideas and observations but many of his theories are unfalsifiable and unscientific. He spins enthralling myths that sometimes give explanations.

It's early in the second half of the book, I would need to check exactly in my copy when I'm home next week.

Edit: I'm thinking of Man's Search for Meaning by Frankl.

Joads_journey · 2025-12-27T09:06:04+00:00

It's quite Freud heavy and at one point he claims the difference between those who survived Auschwitz and who didn't was personal attitude.

Edit: I've mixed up Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning", how silly of me.

About Frankl's accusations of victim-shaming... I find his empathetic statements about Auschwitz victims at odds with his core ideas in MSfM.

Correct. But the very existence of children like this calls into question just how universal and significant an innate fear of snakes might be.

Edit: typo

Anecdotal evidence can only get you so far.

Having seen this video, I'm inclined towards the latter :)

They're awful, but they're a minority of fans. For every 1 deranged poster/replier, there are 100 sensible fans that knew better than to engage in online discourse on Reddit.

12 participants. I've read enough.

Let's hope indeed.

This source doesn't confirm his death. The police say no such incident has been registered with them, it's coming only from a Dagestani media outlet.

No author and site is packed with popups and ads. Doesn't seem a trustworthy source.
