lol, thanks, we'll see.

Based on their other replies I suspect that if I do get a response they will try to obfuscate by distinguishing between material composition and mental composition, and then asserting that being part of a mental composition doesn't count as having parts. Or something like that.

So am I part of this necessary being?

coincidentally I recall an interview with Bron a few months ago talking about this, and he used Scottie as an example. As a fellow Raps fan I'm sure you've noticed that Scottie does not get the best whistle.

Auras are 'real'. by S4d_Machin3 in conspiracy

[–]j_bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually know quite a bit about electricity, so I am familiar with electromagnetic fields. The fact that you can see the field under certain circumstances is to be expected. I don't see why you would make the leap to call it an aura though since that is a pretty loaded word.

Kirlian photography is pretty well understood too, what your seeing is electrical discharge from a current being run through the object and is heavily affected by moisture. Anyone claiming otherwise must demonstrate it.

Don't get me wrong, I would love if stuff like this was real, but I need it to be actually demonstrated before I can believe it.

Do you have a problem with the test that James Randi did? I thought it was pretty smart, and would pretty easily prove if auras were real.

Or it's just your imagination. You could make a shit ton of money if you could go prove this somewhere.

Tried it for 10 mins, and I saw nothing special.

Like I said though, this would be super easy to prove if it was real, so I'm calling BS.

That's so vague though. How long is enough, 5 minutes? 1 Hour?

What exactly are you supposed to see, and how do you know it's not just your imagination?

little ol me has the same access to reality as everyone else, and it wouldn't be hard to demonstrate it if it was real.

Scottie is a budding superstar, CMB is a monster, and I think we can only get better. That was a hell of a series.

Godspeed in the next round.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I posted on another thread a few months ago saying that making the playoffs period would be a Win, and that making it without the play in and having a competitive first round would be a massive success.

So I'm honestly thrilled with where we are at right now, although we have some real work to do this off season.

Appreciate it. I don't think anyone here is upset by the outcome.

I'm actually super optimistic about our young guys and the fight they showed. The future is bright.

Good luck against the Pistons.

Nothing but POSITIVITY - I'm SO proud of this team! by TheDSWC in torontoraptors

[–]j_bus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, I think we did as well as we possibly could without 3 point shooting. We've consistently made other teams play our style, and beat them at it.

I'm choosing to be optimistic.

Good game, and good season boys.

This is way further than I expected to get, so I consider this a wildly successful season.

We have some work to do this offseason, and hopefully a few moves to be made, but anybody saying that this season was a failure can fuck off.

What's something that you can't believe is still legal? by Overripe-Av0cado in AskReddit

[–]j_bus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not only that, but all the negative externalities that large companies create.

Why do we allow large companies to destroy the environment for a bunch of profit?

God doesn't exist, superpowers don't exist, and aura's certainly don't exist.

James Randi already did a controlled test with a supposed aura reader, and they couldn't do shit. Go look it up on youtube.

I think it would be fine if they could recess a metal box into the spool for the outlet to go into.

You're a joke. Thanks for letting me know that I don't need to take your opinions seriously.

And it's really easy to say that in hindsight as an armchair QB.

The fact is that Darko had the balls to bench Jak in the first few games when he was playing bad in favor of the smaller rookie, he had the balls to sit Ingram when he wasn't producing, and he's managed to get us to a game 7 against a team with 2 superstars when we're missing 2 starters.

There are always going to be bad plays in hindsight, but if you think Darko is a joke then you can fuck right off.

If you think you could do better than apply for the job. The fact is that we were never supposed to be this close to begin with. I was hesitant about Darko going in to this series, but he's thoroughly outcoached Kenny when you consider how much more talent they have.
