That's incredibly fucked up, you scarred 17 year old girls?

Russia, Japan aim for the Moon: "We're talking about establishing permanent bases." by mepperin science

[–]hypnotoadglory 2 points3 points ago

It's confusing people because they assume she's a war widow, not a regular widow. They believe that he died during the war.

Neither will be useful. Chinese do not prefer their own language, they prefer english. Speak to some of them and see what they say. This isn't a refusal of other cultures, this is simply a fact. English is the global language and will stay that way for a very long time.

Why TED Is a Massive, Money-Soaked Orgy of Self- Congratulatory Futurism - It has become an exclusive, expensive elite networking experience. Strip away the hype and you're left with a reasonably good video podcast with delusions of grandeur. by JackIsidorein TrueReddit

[–]hypnotoadglory 2 points3 points ago

Is that really so bad though?

The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

At this point TED is a massive, money-soaked orgy of self-congratulatory futurism, with multiple events worldwide, awards and grants to TED-certified high achievers, and a list of speakers that would cost a fortune if they didn’t agree to do it for free out of public-spiritedness

... so? That sounds like a great thing. Sure, the money side of things could be handled better, but what is wrong with futurism?Futurism is wonderful, it's where most of our greatest hopes and dreams lie. And the best part, is it's achievable. Most futurists are realistic, maybe not always in their time scales, but in the technological feasibility absolutely.

What trivial act would you like to ban or make illegal? Personally, I would like to outlaw public speakers who start off by saying, "I can't hear you!" or "Let's try that again!" by danger_mcboomin AskReddit

[–]hypnotoadglory 0 points1 point ago

It's not trivial, but I'd like to make making pointless/trivial laws illegal.

Also, I'd like to make making any laws named after people illegal.

Have you used SAP2000 ? by Readornin civilengineering

[–]hypnotoadglory 0 points1 point ago

I've used it. Their online help is EXTREMELY GOOD. Same with youtube.

Personally, I find the program needlessly complicated and very unintuitive

Penn Jillette accuses Obama of class warfare for drug policy, states' rights: "You can get [medical marijuana] in California, and the feds are coming in to try to stop this. States' rights don't mean jack shit to the Obama administration on anything except gay marriage" by mepperin politics

addiction is only a concern for some of the illicit drugs, not all.

for the ones where addiction is possible, further regulation would be needed. it's not too tricky

Protecting State Secrets as Intellectual Property: A Strategy for Prosecuting WikiLeaks [academic paper] by BANANARCHYin TrueReddit

That's like saying:

"Can we prosecute 10 year old who take a photo of themselves with child porn laws?"

It's an amoral question to begin with. It should never have been asked.

crazierthanuthought describes how it feels to be insane by tony_orlandoin DepthHub

[–]hypnotoadglory 1 point2 points ago

What you're describing is most likely intrusive thoughts, the wiki article is alright: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thoughts Though the article is a little alarmist in my opinion.

It's a normal thing and nothing to be worried out, most people experience these thoughts every now and again.

Typically if this happens to me I simply distract myself with something I like (a good tv show, for example).

[–]hypnotoadglory 61 points62 points ago

That is not what I would categorise as "insane". That sounds like a personification of your own conscience, and compartmentalisation of your own mind and giving those compartments personalities and names.

Insanity is not something to be taken lightly, and not something you can "grow out of", or just wake up one day and be okay.

True destructive insanity can be the most horrific thing to ever happen to a human being, I honestly cannot think of anything worse.

Imagine not being able to control your own thoughts, imagine having a constant yelling voice inside your head telling you to do things that you would never do, violent things, horrible things, constantly yelling, talking so fast that your brain cannot process it as it "speaks" to you, you hear the words but you're still trying to catch up and understand the previous sentence you heard, and each sentence becomes harder to hear than the previous one. But you can't shut them out, you can't block your ears, it's a voice that reverberates inside your head, like your entire head is a giant theatre and they're on stage screaming, it echoes around and you hear the words again and again. If you've ever been on top of a tall building or on top of a high balcony, and you hear that tiny voice inside that says "Jump!", imagine that, but 1000x fold, imagine a person screaming into both of your ears "JUMP!" over and over again.

You hallucinate... you actually know you're hallucinating and you know it's not real, but your mind betrays you and you instantly forget logic, it's gone, it can't help you, you can't think your way out of it, you can't apply logic to an insane mind, you cannot stop thinking it is real, once it starts, you get caught in an infinite loop, you start losing grip on what is real and what isn't. And then, once you start feeling reality slip away and you're clawing at it and grasping for a semblance of normality and how you once felt, but you can't grab on to anything except more chaotic and horrible thoughts, that's just truly hell. That's what insanity is like.

[–]hypnotoadglory 5 points6 points ago

What disgusts me is that their thesis is: "How can we prosecute wikileaks"

not;

"Is it right to prosecute wikileaks"

"Is it legal to prosecute wikileaks"

"It what wikileaks does lawful?"

Why can we see the color black? by Cubic_C333in askscience

[–]hypnotoadglory 5 points6 points ago

You can't. Black isn't a colour it's an absence of light. When you see black, you're seeing an object or material that absorbs and does not reflect the visible spectrum of light.

Essentially you're right, it is invisible, it's just opaque.
