Response to: Can video games be art? Posted April 20th, 2014 in General

Shut the fuck up. Seriously? Not a difficult question. Anything that serves no purpose other than to entertain the mind is art. English developed over thousands of years to describe this bullshit with simple canopy words, but now we're evolving out of that.

Call video games anything you want. Interactive art. Games. Artificial environments are going to be popylar once we have full immersion. The world isn't cut and dry.

Fuck your shit. Fuck it.

You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. The invasion of Iraq wasn't even remotely connected to 9/11. Except that the timeframe was similar and Rumsfeld/Cheney were accused of leading the American public to believe that the invasion was tangential to that event.

My monkey's on several things:

3. The perpetrator is Ma1achi
4. He can only mess with people who are online and communicating with the server

Meaning the more you try to post, the longer you stay active on NG, the more likely it is you will be targeted. He wouldn't have access to anything important. Unless you're autistic and think having your user icon messed with is a "fate worse than death" (–Decimating).

Response to: If you were a girl... Posted April 4th, 2014 in General

Men and women have very similar orgasms.

The difference is that men have sensitivity spread throughout their penis, and women have a high concentration of nerve ends in their clitoris. Men tend to have reduced sensitivity throughout their penis, with high sensitivity in the testicles, while women tend to have a wide variety of sensitivities in penetration, with extreme sensitivity in the clitoris. This leads to much different anecdotal evidence coming from the mechanics of sex.

Men are capable of multiple orgasm just as women are capable of ejactulation. The convulsions are identical and hormonal releases are similar. I have read that from a research perspective, the orgasms are biologically identical.

That said, if I were a woman I would be a nasty little slut who wears pant suits in public and chases strong men. I'm straight as a man, why wouldn't I be straight as a woman?

People shouldn't live a lie and participate in religious organizations that they have no particular connection with. It's disingenuous, and there are many other ways to get life experience.

Except that if you actually went to church and got to know the people there, you'd discover that aside from the self-righteous ultraconservative "my business will refuse you service based on my religion" people, most of them are very down-to-earth and warmhearted people. And the rest are some form of an Agnostic church-goer who doesn't buy the whole package. And then you'd discover that the reason most of them are religious is that it ties a social atmosphere into their desire to live a healthy, moral, and fulfilling lifestyle.

He's not going to end up getting kicked out for sitting there twiddling his thumbs while they douse the Flame of the Ancients with Blood of a Phoenix or something just because he's not a strictly religious person. You attend, you smile and make eye contact, you get scholarships, and you pat yourself on the back after college.

Idiots here might not understand how much damage you can do to your social life, college and post-college life, etc by going against the church you were born into. I would think that is especially true if you are a Mormon in Utah. It's like being Catholic in Italy, Jewish in Israel, Shia Islam in Iran. When you're on the inside, you are in their good graces and they will help you to make things happen. If you toe the line, people can literally ruin your life to use you as an example of bad behavior.

Response to: What Is this Bullshit Posted March 27th, 2014 in General

Just play along, go on a Mission to get some world experience, get scholarships or free tuition from your church, and slowly drift away from Mormonism when it's safe to do so without getting disowned, kicked out of your family, ostracized, and whatever else.

Don't just climb out of the frying pan and fall into the fire.

Um. What's going to cause the degradation of culture and society on a global scale, etc etc etc, and how does that relate to cloning technology?

Also, Crimea.

Nonequivalent. The leading theories in cloning research predict that this sort of revival is possible using existing techniques. The leading theories in physics predict that time travel is impossible and there is no technology which incrementally approaches that milestone.

If you'll read the thread (ig:'s not worth reading, you can skip that step), I have already quoted a PhD in Genetics, professor at Harvard, George M. Church, as stating that is already technically possible to de-extinct an ancient species, the Neanderthal. So, do we have bigger problems?

Come back in 20 years and you may prove it. But now, Jesus is a dead bunch just like everybody else.

You're abusing the vocabulary of science to support your own opinion. Here we have an expert in the field, whose hypotheses are more likely to be driven by intuition and experience, talking about what is possible with DNA that is even further divergent from the human ancestry, and reconstructed from 30,000 year old samples:

quote

SPIEGEL: Setting aside all ethical doubts, do you believe it is technically possible to reproduce the Neanderthal?

Church: The first thing you have to do is to sequence the Neanderthal genome, and that has actually been done. The next step would be to chop this genome up into, say, 10,000 chunks and then synthesize these. Finally, you would introduce these chunks into a human stem cell. If we do that often enough, then we would generate a stem cell line that would get closer and closer to the corresponding sequence of the Neanderthal. We developed the semi-automated procedure required to do that in my lab. Finally, we assemble all the chunks in a human stem cell, which would enable you to finally create a Neanderthal clone.

end of quote

I believe that it is not so far-fetched as it is hampered by the discovery of the genuine Tomb of Jesus, consent of a world government, funding for that research, and societal acceptance.

You'd have better chances of shitting into your own hand, through the self-inflicted stigmata so it all pours out like a tube and not die from horrible infections than you have the chance of finding Christ's remains and cloning anything remotely functional, let alone Holy.

Assuming that it's profitable, won't there someday be a way to compute solutions to revert the genomic changes from postmortem mutation? I mean, if there's suddenly a dysfunctional allele and a computer model suggests that it should be some other structure that already exists in the mammal genome, couldn't we extend the timeline for discovery by hundreds of thousand of years?
