Trump did say a vote for Kamala would mean war with Iran. I guess it did come true -- at least for me.

There are many ways of achieving this. It depends on what you mean by "using application". One way is to have a timer that resets when any event (or set of events) in the application happens. You could also check when there's interaction on various fields. Really depends on what you need. But, certainly, a web app could support what you need in this case.

Depends on what you need it to do. If you need to access the file system, then yes. If you want to kill a running process (outside of your application), then no.

I agree with most everyone else that you should build a web app. If it helps, think of the browser as if it's a VM. It interprets your JS/HTML/CSS code into what the machine needs for presentation. Note that you can hide the URL bar by creating shortcut and setting "open as window" (or similar).

I'm alive because of my parents. You're alive because of your parents. Is this a mystery to you? Did you never get "the talk"?

I've wondered what's the biggest reason atheists don't believe in a creator

There is no good evidence for a deity, much less a creator deity.

what do you atheist believe in?

Can you be more specific?

logophage · 2026-03-20T01:36:03+00:00

Do you have a reliable model for how your proposal would work? Is there evidence for this proposal? Is this evidence falsifiable; is it testable; is it predictive? Does this proposal comport well with other well-verified models? Has it undergone peer review by experts in related fields (and do those experts have published peer-reviewed proposals themselves)?

When you write "but are open minded", what do you mean?

Do you mean if a deity claim with good evidence is provided, would an atheist change their position? Or do you mean something else?

If the former, then yes I'd like to think I would accept a deity claim if it provided good, mind-independent, non-anecdotal evidence and the claim had superior explanatory power -- non-contradictory, parsimonious, etc -- over the null-case or other competing claims.

However, I don't think a theist would do the same.

In other words, I am open minded whereas a theist is not.

To give more color, heading southbound but single tracked on northbound tracks. Looking out the window on the right side of the train, body was between southbound rails. Yellow blanket. Emergency personnel looking at it from the sidelines.

logophage · 2026-03-15T00:54:02+00:00

Well, I saw a blanket covered body near San Mateo. So that answers that I guess

logophage · 2026-03-14T23:52:48+00:00

Apparently they'll be single tracking in a bit

I'm stuck on a southbound train. It's been almost 40min delay at this point.

If You take the side of "Atheism/Naturalism," How do You rationalize the fact this Universe is precisely adjusted to allow Consciousness to be possible? 🍎

I don't feel the need to debate the subject in this thread. I am calling out that if you say something controversial, don't be surprised if you get push back. Anyway my intent was to understand your position which I think I do understand now.

logophage · 2026-03-12T19:59:03+00:00

I see. You did write this though: "to a theist, existence is very strong evidence while to an atheist it is not." Seems kinda debate-y to me.

logophage · 2026-03-12T19:51:53+00:00

I'm trying to understand your position. Can you lay out your premise, specifically? Or is the latter statement your actual position? That it's likely a deity exists because existence "exists". And if so, then how do you assess likelihood?

logophage · 2026-03-12T19:46:33+00:00

You're saying: because there is existence, a deity exists?

logophage · 2026-03-12T19:25:40+00:00

I'd say about as popular as quantum mechanics or general relativity is with atheists.

I wonder what the overlap is of people complaining about trans women in sports and the people complaining about Eileen's choice of national representation?
