if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

:rofl: I love those videos! My wife is not impressed, though.

I get the anger. I'm angry a lot at the state of things and how those in power or have enough money get to do almost whatever they want without facing any responsibility. What I don't get is the lashing out at other people before even knowing much about them.

Also, all that text. I don't really get the reason for all that either. Most people won't read it, especially not the ones you want to.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

In both cases the error regarding gender was understandable. The online atheist thing has been predominantly populated by males, and the wall of text rant is most often produced by males. Statistically, both of the presumptions were reasonable.
More like fallaciously jumping to conclusions while showing a misogynistic view of females. So, it is more short-sightedly stupid than reasonable.

I was referring to both your error and Tank's error. In both cases an incorrect assumption was made. In both cases it was nonetheless a fairly reasonable assumption.

If you strive to take offense you will usually succeed. People will see you doing it though.

Ain't that the truth!
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

I was just remembering Randy.
He would've been 61 today.

yes  that was a damned shame.


Just be happy.

What ever happened to Ali, Amicale, Pasta Chick, Claire Lion Tamer, the Doberman girl?  We have run off a lot of women.

I think it's Tank's fault.

Me too. I wonder what happened to those girls that have disappeared.  I enjoyed all of them.  In the case of our Pakistani lady, I understand that it is in her best interests not to correspond too much with we westerners. I miss her.

One of the others was the New York Gothic girl. She was a far out type but interesting at times.

Off course Whitney left us and intellectually we know she had to, but it still hurts, it gets a little less every year though.
And Tank is almost as good.
He is, and that does help.

Ali and Determined Juliet were huge fun, I think both of them had crap spouses, stupid bastards.
I don't know what happened to Maria from Cyprus.
Of course Books became Sandy and did until recently at least, still hang around sometimes.
Sweet Death would make non PC posts and sometimes be taken task, I don't think anyone would give a shit now.  emoji waving SD
I don't think we were woke enough for Pasta Chick, too old and male maybe.
Of course we've still got Mags, but she must be an honorary old white bloke by now.

If it helps, I could start identifying as female.
I don't think the other forum members would ask that of you
It wouldn't really be any inconvenience, my penis being as miniscule as it is, I could probably compete in the Olympics as female.
If you had skills and ability?
Yes of course, skills and ability too.
I wouldn't even have to change my name.

I didn't forget
My dad called my Anne D too

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

No, it's not good, although I appreciate Bad Penny's offer to become a woman. It's just not the same. Ya gotta have women, or the place starts looking like a dump. And everyone starts talking about penises.

But I'm not really complaining.
