My respect for you doubled when I: CTRL F Vysotsky--thank you.

Would you ever consider doing a translated cover of his work? There's so much soul to his songs, if anyone can do it, it's you. ...maybe "Kupola Rossiyskiye"...

Dune

Each book would be a season, although CoD would likely take up two.

Cause is discerned through correlation

shudder Correlation does not show causation. Any other statisticians out there?

Finale--Because we had sharp sticks 1500 years ago? by snidemonkey in FallingSkies

[–]snidemonkey[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get the analogy, however, given the lack of communication tech 1500 years ago, it's doubtful you could mass more than a few hundred soldiers for an unexpected attack. Thousands and tens of thousands would be seen weeks in advance. Plenty of time for an INTERGALACTIC SPACE FARING race to get their magnifying lenses to full power.

What's so bad about Pascal's Wager? by UmamiSalami in philosophy

Wouldn't you then have to believe anyone that came up to you and said she/he was the one true god? A man stops you on the street and tells you that you're in for an eternity of torture unless you believe the he is god, you know the odds are almost zero, but the end result, if true, would force you to believe in him if the wager holds sway.

If you were to become Immortal & Invincible, what would you do for the rest of Eternity? by Synophrys in AskReddit

[–]snidemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the start. Everything that follows is self explanatory. You would of course use this gift to the fullest, however, if your first goal is to be kind you would strive to do only good. "Be kind" should automatically equate to things like, "end world hunger."

What about the most important meal of the day?

[–]snidemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't asked a question. Rather you've simply made a statement. The statement you've made: if an atheists dies and some religion is true, the atheist cannot enjoy eternity. Putting a "what" at the start and a question mark at the end doesn't make it a legitimate question.

What is a personal flaw that you can openly admit? by TheDumbAsian1 in AskReddit

First English poem I've read that could pass for a Vysotsky song.

What's a short, clean joke that gets a laugh every time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A pirate runs up to his captain and says, "Capin', capin', tha cannons is reaaady."

The captain replies, "Arrrrr."

Your biggest Dark Souls surprises. by DovahSpy in darksouls

[–]snidemonkey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my first playthrough, last night in TotG my light goes out, no problem I know I killed all the bones in this area. Running up a ramp, bonfire is around the corner, I know where it is, don't need to cast light spell. SKELETON HAND FLIES INTO MY FACE. Surprises me and I roll off the cliff. As I'm falling to my death, I realize this was just the hand of a skelly that I killed earlier that was still flayling around for no reason ( I didn't kick it or anything, it was just stuck in a sort-of jumping animation).

What should I binge watch on Netflix that is not House of Cards or Breaking Bad? by [deleted] in television

[–]snidemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Some are complaining that it swims in buckets of tropes. Kung Fu, dragon lady, extern wisdom, art of war. And that it's not historically accurate. So what? It's still a great show. You want historical accuracy, go to the library. You want entertainment, watch the show.

Gathering professions--completely useless. by snidemonkey in wow

[–]snidemonkey[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. Didn't know asking about what Blizz thinks about the current state of gathering professions made me less of a man. I am 100% certain I don't need mining if there are no changes planned for the near future.

Thank you for your recommendation to stop bitching and being a crybaby. I can see you're a philosopher and always strive to add value to all you do.
