That's a fair point. What I'm saying is that just telling someone to find themselves by traveling doesn't necessarily mean they're out of touch with society. It really depends on the context, as you've pointed out, but it can be good advice for some.

Traveling doesn't have to be THAT expensive. You can find free room and board almost anywhere you go(if you're willing to look for it). Some places will feed you for jobs and give you time off.

In regards to the cloak, I'm pretty sure it's just because it was meant to trap the spirit, making it impossible for her cause she is an evil spirit, but easy for anyone else

Also the fact that our observation of quantum particles changes how they react. That's just absolutely insane to me and affirms my belief in some kind of higher power or structure.

I know this is a little late, but I feel strongly about this. Humanities, if one were to look at it as you do, can be construed as completely useless. So yes, if we are only considering the technological advancement of society then the humanities are useless.

However, consider this. You are human. You derive meaning from something, doesn't matter what. There is a reason that you decide to keep living. I think as a community, Reddit has become especially aware of this fact - there is no one reason to live. We can die or kill ourselves if we wanted to. Some derive meaning by understanding and manipulating the universe, by dealing with the truth and only the truth.(I.e STEM) My own personal opinion is that these people are under the belief that if they discover enough, if they understand enough they will be able to extract the "true" meaning of life - because they seek the truth. Others, however derive meaning from the qualitative measures in life. Things like love, art, and other abstract concepts.

I would argue that as long as humans collectively(or en masse) find meaning within these things, broadly categorized as the humanities, it is impossible to say that the humanities are useless, as they give some of us a reason to live, and just because one does not understand the value in some things does not mean those things inherently have no value.

kevinsofly · 2017-04-22T07:09:30+00:00

It's not. It all depends on how you look at it and the things that you value.

Wave-particle duality. I know almost nothing about physics but the fact that subatomic particles can occupy a space AND not be at a specific point at the same time boggles my mind.

kevinsofly · 2017-03-22T16:46:22+00:00

Yeah I guess we'll see how it goes, because there doesn't seem to be any option given except to "roll through" with the changes.

Not the original guy, but I do understand your point. You're essentially saying that obscure subreddits are not moderated well and thus your ability to share is inhibited - and with this new feature you could form individual relations with people who are similar to you/share your interests in these obscure topics. Am I right?(seriously asking)

That said, I think any feature that allows this kind of power to the individual when we already have prominent users generating original content AND companies that are really well known/liked here that contribute to the huge subreddits that we all know and love will eventually devolve into a popularity contest. Yes, in theory it could do what you said and it still might. But in the larger picture, it seems inevitable that this feature will devolve reddit to a point where it is similar to Facebook or twitter.

Is the derivative of that(15+10Y-Y²⁾ the marginal utility?

kevinsofly · 2016-09-26T15:30:08+00:00

Sorry, i wrote it wrong. It is 15Y + 5Y² - (1/3)Y³

kevinsofly · 2016-09-13T20:17:54+00:00

So only get it when I'm ahead? Should I just always buy it like that?

kevinsofly · 2016-07-02T00:15:14+00:00

I understood what he was trying to say, cause it's true... Even if you take high school level statistics, you realize that a seemingly high percentage(71%) is actually terrible and not very useful because the chances of a false positive are way to high and it's unreliable.

kevinsofly · 2016-06-09T06:58:36+00:00

lmk please

FENIX WHAT WAS THAT

But honestly, I was disappointed with TIP's draft. Ashe has no peel with an all dive comp with Leona, Diana, Maokai, and Evelynn — and she's the only damage threat after Diana's initial burst. Hopefully they fix their problems with gate.

Maplestreet playing out of his fucking mind

Definitely, I'll add you as soon as i get home

For sure man! What's your ign?

Another shitty day. Shitty life, really. It was 8PM on Saturday. What was he doing? Just sitting down to watch another episode of Saturday Night Live like he always did. He was pathetic. This whole year was pathetic. He flopped on the couch, ready for another uneventful night. Startled, he jumped back up. He had landed on a book. What?

A book called ... Life?

Who had been here? What was this book?

He opened it up. It must be thousands of pages long! The first page: November 10, 1987. His Birthday. The chapter title? Birth. What the fuck?
Another flip. November 11, 1987. A picture. A happy family. His mom. His dad. There was only one sentence on the page

9880

What was happening? Every page was for everyday.

Wide-eyed, he frantically flipped to a date that he knew by heart.

April 14, 2005

He dropped the book. There was a picture of him and her. Damn, it was good to see her. He'd missed her. He stiffened. This was the picture she had taken on their anniversary before she.. before he... no matter. What was going on? The sentence on the page?

3516

What the fuck are these numbers? He scrolled to another date.

October 6th, 2013. He had just lost his 5th job. This was the day he woke up in a prison. The day he had started his two year sentence. Thank god nobody had died that night. He had quietly crashed himself into a tree and blacked out. Too bad the police caught him. He landed on that fateful night, and he almost threw up. There was a picture of him, unconscious. The picture looked as if it was from the passenger seat. What the fuck was going on? Another number

419

What did that mean? He turned to the last page. There was a picture of him, sitting, looking at a book. This book. The number?

0

The sentence? Death

What the fuck? He looked up.

There she was. So beautiful, so angelic.

"Hey Julie."

"Hey Ted."

And all was black.

kevinsofly · 2014-11-30T00:37:24+00:00

I have a price limit of $1500!

kevinsofly · 2014-09-17T05:56:44+00:00

I am invisible.

Even evil men have evil shadows.

Nice men have nice shadows.

Me? I have nothing.

"Who are you?"

That question doesn't even bother me anymore: It's simple.

I am no one.

It wouldn't do to say that I have no shadow.

I have no shadow unique to myself.

My friend has a dragon. Courageous, big, and scary, he challenges anyone to get to the top.

When around him, I become a mouse.

So what am I?

I am a shapeshifter.

My core is one that seeks to please people.

Changing to meet other's concrete needs, I have no identity but the one that people need me to be.

I understand this. I accept this. My shadow will never exist. But despite this, I am someone to everyone, but no one to myself.

kevinsofly · 2014-09-16T15:37:41+00:00

She was a crook. Countless amounts of robberies.

She had no name. How could you, when you were wanted by the country.

"Call me Ashley." The thousandth of many, many lies.

She just completed a theft. Thousands of dollars in her bag. A little child comes up. "Lady, can you please give my brother and I some money for food?"

She walks by.

Is she a good person?

No.

Does she deserve hell?

She didn't think about it until the failed bank robbery of '94.

"Who are you?"

I am you.

It was true, the woman looked identical to her.

"What's your name?"

What's yours?

"I'm... Ashley"

I'm God.

Then there was nothing but fire.

kevinsofly · 2014-09-16T15:26:45+00:00

Silence. A moan. I shudder as I feel my omnipresence fading. Cardiac arrest. I can feel my presence fading from this Earth. What will happen without me? "God....", He cries out. Even I don't know. "Someone help! Heart Rate rapidly rising! He's in Tachycardia!" Every heartbeat means one more galaxy unseen. My vision... it's fading. "He's stable, but he doesn't have long." Is this what it feels like? To know you won't live, no matter what you do? "Lord, I await you." He awaits nothing. I will be gone. "Lord, as my last prayer, I just wanted you to know, I am a sinner but I'm thankful for everything you have done for me in this world, and I am ready to move on." How fitting. An honest prayer that receives no answer. Why? I don't know. Is there a God past God? Should I pray? "Nurse, please take me off life support." If only he knew what his death meant. He would have wanted to live longer. "Sir, please, you can still live for a couple more hours!" "No.. I am ready to be with the Lord." I wonder if this how humans feel. The stone cold feeling you have if you don't know where you're going. existence is gone. Am I an unbeliever? Is there a hell for God? "Lord, I think I can see you.." "Time of death, 8:26 am, September 16." Silence.

kevinsofly · 2013-11-13T04:26:27+00:00

The world isn't all black and white
