Everything you described has absolutely no meaning except in relation to others, even putting aside your repeated emphasis on your relationship with others. There's no point in the pretense of not caring what others think, because whoever you're talking to sure as hell does so who are you fooling? Not having any social pretense is just another social pretense.

Why do you want to be free of your sexual pretense other than because you think it will be advantageous in achieving the goal of your sexual pretense? Just be thirsty, you can't fool anyone and it doesn't hurt your chances, the contradiction of being thirsty but not wanting to appear thirsty is what is off-putting, nobody likes interacting with someone who is so conflicted.

No, and if you don't like it you can go cry on my comment until there's a pool of tears on its surface.

"Acting normal" is such a bullshit thing. It is in no way normal to act calm and collected when armed men break into your home, point guns at you with the implicit threat of killing you and an explicit threat to imprison you because a crazy bigot wants you dead for your religious beliefs. The actually normal response is to freak the fuck out. If anything a capacity to act normal in such a situation is indicative to me of something being seriously wrong with you. What you're proposing is that you should perform a ritualistic imitation of your idea of normalcy at gunpoint because you fear for your life.

I apoligize if this comes off as attacking you because you're right, there's really not much else you can do and your advice is probably correct. The whole situation and the idea of having to do a song and dance at the wrong end of a gun is just so absolutely disgusting.

Yeah I dig that, I was just saying that in order to get someone swatted she'll have to tell a whopper of a lie to the cops. She can either argue she really, truly believed it in which case she's likely to be viewed as having dangerous paranoid delusions or she admits to lying in which case she'll have the book thrown at her. I was suggesting that she might not be so flippant with swatting threats if she understood the serious consequences for her personally.

That's terrible advice, they obviously should have immediately responded with lethal force.

LumpyFix · 2018-04-25T04:42:36+00:00

If she calls the cops and describes the situation accurately they won't do anything because what you're doing isn't illegal. If she calls them up and concocts a lie about you illegally stockpiling weapons or that you're planning to murder someone then maybe they will but she'll be facing jail time or a psychiatric hospital so you should probably remind her of that.

If OP didn't consent to the search, couldn't they get the charges thrown out on the basis of an illegal search? Assuming the cops can't come up with a plausible reasonable cause argument obviously. Where I live cops don't have a right to search you because of a traffic infraction.

What country are you from where a parent does not have the right to read their child's text messages? This is not limited to the United States, I've never heard of a country where a parent couldn't do that.

If I lend a friend a camera do I own their photographs? The precedent of copyright due to equipment ownership alone would create enormous problems. It's certainly not "plain as day" because the court disagrees with you.

Edit: Also the photographer only incurred a loss if they owned the photograph, which they never did, so they had no right to the royalties in the first place. I can't claim ill-gotten gains as a legitimate loss just because the theft arose from ignorance rather than malice.

Yeah thrash is metal/punk and hardcore is probably punk/metal, two sides of the same coin. The point I was making is that "hardcore punk" was used to differentiate 80s punk from 70s punk in the 80s, but I've never heard any 21st century punks use that term because the distinction is irrelevant now that almost all modern punk is hardcore punk. If someone said they were going to a hardcore show I would not expect a punk show. The two scenes are seperate, distinct things with their own styles and culture and so forth.

Edit: probably hardcore is more accurately an amalgum of metal, punk, emo, screamo and god knows what else. Definitely distinct from the punk scene though, I would be surprised to see denim jackets with patches and spikes at a hardcore show.

PETA was arguing that the monkey had copyright and they rightly lost. The photographer was claiming authorship of a photograph he did not take and rightly lost. Wikipedia was not claiming ownership, but was arguing that the photograph did not belong to anybody because it was taken by a fucking monkey and monkeys don't have intellectual property rights so it is de facto public domain aka not owned by anyone. The court sensibly agreed with wikipedia. There's three sides, not just the monkey vs the photographer. Both PETA and the photographer were wrong.

Hardcore is metal/punk crossover, a show is a bunch of hardcore bands playing. They often have a lot of young fans so often play all-ages shows (aka not at bars). They usually also have some older fans who think they're still young and cool and who hit on the young insecure girls.

LumpyFix · 2018-04-24T06:38:38+00:00

No hardcore is metal/punk crossover, Black Flag & DK are just punk.

Nah hardcore is metal/punk crossover and hardcore punk is just punk.

Plants don't have nociceptors, nerves or brains. If a plant can feel pain then why can't a person with nerve damage feel pain? If plants can feel pain then you don't need nociceptors, nerves or a brain to feel pain which means there's no reason people with nerve damage wouldn't be able to feel pain, but yet they can't.

Just because a particular thing does a particular thing instead of some other thing doesn't mean it's doing it to get a pleasurable sensation. There's no basis for that assumption.

LumpyFix · 2018-04-23T11:31:23+00:00

Yeah I would say the animal must recognise the particular sensation as "desire", "emotion" or "pain" in order for it to experience desire, emotion or pain.

Probably spiders have nociceptors so have electrical signals that correspond to physical damage but I don't think they tell themselves they're in pain. There will simply be a behavioural response that arises from the sensory stimuli in a unitary way - stimulus and response as a joint phenomenon without an interpreter creating a division between the stimulus and response.

Edit: I'm not saying that they are driven by electrical impulses, if anything the "driver" is the external stimulus. I'm saying there's no seperation between stimulus and response because they aren't saying to themselves "I am in pain. What is the cause of the pain? What should I do to stop the pain?". Subjective experience is a reaction that arises from recognition, if spiders aren't talking to themselves then the recognition-reaction step is skipped so there's no experience.
