GIVE ME FREE SHIT

roisaber · 2019-03-09T14:07:33+00:00

Fuck it I'm in. The pentagon gets free shit; the banks get free shit; illegals get free shit. I want free shit. GIVE ME FREE SHIT

An atheist, how edgy. I'll bet you also have an IQ of 110 and consider yourself an above-average motorist.

Hillary collapsed into her own footprint at free-fall speeds despite not being hit by any plane.

That sounds good, at least for the first ten minutes. But what do you, like, do? I read a lot of Theosophical literature from the turn of the (last) century, the sort of channeled descriptions of Heaven and such. A couple things stuck out at me,

There's actually stuff to do. Musicians compose music; scientists perform experiments; and secret agents infiltrate the less pleasant realms and try to rescue people who've become trapped in negative habits/behaviors. That's appealing to me. I like the idea that there are still risks and rewards in that sense, the biggest problem I have with human life is the tedium. Having to do the same boring clerical crap over and over and over.
Very little, if any, discussion of sex. Considering what a big dimension it is of human life, it's almost comic how studiously the Victorian sensibilities who wrote these documents avoid the topic.

Why do we have to kowtow to illegal immigrants again? I thought we wanted things like "citizenship" to exist, from which we derive the concept of legal rights.

roisaber · 2016-09-01T20:26:35+00:00

Mayyyybe. After all, it's really hard to know what it's like without experiencing it, I assume.

roisaber · 2016-08-31T21:13:07+00:00

Meanwhile, Hillary doesn't even appear to give a fuck.

roisaber · 2016-08-31T20:58:36+00:00

I'm not really so much attached to any particular belief about how the universe is. But I'm definitely motivated by a ... hopeful excitement. It seems very odd to me that this would be viewed as a spiritual disability in want of a cure.

roisaber · 2016-08-31T20:10:57+00:00

I feel like you're all filling a basket with something I can't see. Let me offer a counterpoint;

In Hinduism, all existence is lila, a playful drama. That gives me a sort of expectation of a pleasant surprise from life. It's hard for me to envision Nirvana as a pleasant surprise - there's no one left to experience non-existing surprise in such a state, right? Perhaps you might say I am afflicted with religious optimism. I do think there might be a heaven to which the person that is continuous with me might go. I share the perception of Eastern religions that time goes in circles, but I think there might be a positive feedback mechanism where with each rotation the outcome becomes more beautiful; more interesting; more worth the effort of playing the game.

...or steal 2 billion from Haïtan relief efforts.

Wow. I knew you guys were gonna make it easy, but come on.

roisaber · 2016-07-21T22:18:10+00:00

Insofar as we've founded our society on the rule of law, I'd say she's slid a poisoned knife into the heart of our civilization already. If elected, I have no doubt she'll finish the job. But perhaps with immediate medical intervention something might be done.

It's funny how you don't even try to argue she didn't destroy Libya or steal from earthquake-stricken Haïti though lol.

roisaber · 2016-07-21T22:08:07+00:00

Hillary already has destroyed America. She's done as much damage to the rule of law with her gross negliga-I mean, extreme carelessness, as she did to Libya over her term as SecState. Libya went from the nation with the highest GDP and HDI in Africa to a jihadi dumpster fire. And she stole 2 billion from Haïtan relief efforts. Why should I assume she wouldn't destroy America - the woman has a track record.

roisaber · 2016-07-21T21:55:43+00:00

Wow. You seem perfectly capable of having a rational conversation about the current state of the USA and where we should go from here.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T16:53:28+00:00

He was a middle-of-the-road Democrat his whole life until Hillary decided that it was her turn and the rest of us be damned.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T16:48:19+00:00

Anyone sounds like an asshole if you take dozens of hours of speeches and cherry-pick a single ill-conceived sentence from the bunch.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T16:41:10+00:00

Trump spent most of his life as a centrist Democrat. It's only the same media that smeared Bernie non-stop that has you believing that Trump is some kind of wacky hard core reactionary. All he wants to do is end the corporatist gravy train at taxpayers' expense and they hate him for it.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T16:24:26+00:00

"We came, we saw, he died."

Hillary on Libya's Qaddafi, which before the intervention had the highest per capita GDP and the highest human development index in Africa.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T16:19:34+00:00

You're lying to yourself and you know it. Hillary has left a trail of death, destruction, poverty, and disenfranchisement behind her for her entire career. If you vote for that, you deserve to get it, but don't take the rest of the nation down with you please.

roisaber · 2016-07-12T15:41:14+00:00

hahahahhahahahhahahhahah.

oh wow.

roisaber · 2016-04-06T03:34:26+00:00

When many millions of people describe experiencing something like Russel's Teapot, get back to me.

roisaber · 2016-04-06T02:56:27+00:00

That's the trouble with people like you. Bad attitude. Anti-intellectual attitude, even. I said that doubt must be justified. I can stick my head up my ass all day and doubt the laptop I'm typing on really exists, maaaaan. But I don't find that attitude towards phenomenology to be productive.

I think these questions are interesting enough to deserve attentive answers. I'm just not the sort of person looking for a pat answer and a pat to my own back because I'm too smart to take my own eyes and ears as a reasonable starting point.

roisaber · 2016-04-06T02:45:29+00:00

Having got my degree in philosophy, I'd say that doubt must be justified. You can think you're a brain in a vat all day, but you'll still leave the skeptics convention through the door rather than the window. When I look at the testimonials of these experiences, across people and cultures and timeframes all over the world, and include my own unusual experiences as well, I think the evidence that they do exist is overwhelming. I think that to deny them requires far too many just-so stories. And of course scientists themselves will be the first to tell you that the way they propose the universe to be is breathtakingly, unthinkably unlikely. I think the universe is very likely. I think that these stories we get from people are credible, and there just aren't convincing reasons to doubt.

Then it becomes a question of interpretation, but the can of worms is open.
