There's no dignity in writing at length about absurdities and religious myths. There are too many gods to examine, too many examples of religious texts being edited, stories mutating as they're passed down through the generations, too many religious conflicts, too many argumentative tricks, and too many ignorant trolls to ever bother with writing a critical essay on the matter.

It's September 9th 2013. In two days, remind yourself that 18 Muslim hijackers committed suicide to destroy two skyscrapers in New York City, part of the Pentagon, and the White House. Just remind yourself how unimportant religion is, and how glad you are to be educated to a point where it's possible for you to say "no" to religion's lies.

Oh no, not logical fallacies!!! My one weakness!!! Suddenly religions are no longer lies, all religions are true, the history of all world religions being edited and changed over time is null and void because I used ad hominem on the NGBBS!

The fact that people can make a supercomputer but CANNOT make a HUMAN BRAIN proves my point.

What are you smoking?

Researchers worldwide have been making neural chips for years. Supercomputers have been simulating human brains in software for years. Neural Chips have been built to simulate brain activity using hardware. Researchers have been building computers which communicate with brains grown in vitro for a couple years.

You would have been right twenty years ago, you're wrong now.

Your gaming PC is too simple now, but supercomputers are already surpassing human intelligence in a variety of ways. The Tianhe-2 supercomputer performs at 50 Peta-FLOPS, the human brain performs at less than half of that, and the computer is not even using neural networking processors. Advancing programming expands artificial intelligence. Projects like Folding@Home solve significant problems in the implementation of new technologies.

The kicker is that researchers have already built and tested neural chips which emulate brain activity, and in search of answers about how to build AI, other researchers have built intelligent architecture which exceeds human intelligence density with far fewer components. Scientists have even built microchips which use human and animal neurons grown in vitro.

The difference between human brains and computers? Human brains aren't advancing as rapidly. It's already possibłe to build comparable neural chipsets, and in a couple decades the architecture will be dense enough that a single millimeter-sized microchip will be several thousand times smarter than a human brain, with the ability to pick up on radio waves and look up information online.

In the strictest scientific sense, the main difference is that humans and organisms can procreate whereas machines can't.

Computers design and print the next generation of computers. They have been doing so since the 80s.

In all my years (count 'em), I have never seen a spammer dump straight porn on a website. It's always gay porn, sometimes with a few different fetishes attached.

This website needs to stop allowing furry shit, hentai, and deviant porn in the portals and blogs. It's attracting a crowd of degenerated morons who make the community look like a giant pubescent fuckwad.

The solution is to change the rules, add more mods, and add report buttons to more parts of the site.

Response to: Naturally fat? Posted September 7th, 2013 in General

Some people are lucky enough to have active genes which encode for a fast metabolism, or gut bacteria which keep then relatively thin.

That doesn't excuse fat people, however. There is not a human alive who is incapable of being in great shape through proper diet and exercise. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

There is only an exception for people who take medications which cause them to gain weight.

I like how some users will call the mods over-strict and break rule #1 in the same post.

Maybe you haven't noticed the torrent of alt accounts flooding the BBS with homosexual anothropomorphic beastiality cartoon porn. Shit, the slur is probably justified by now.

On the subject, it would be nice to have access to a broader vocabulary on the site. Banning black kids from the chat because they call their friends "niXXas" is pretty fucking stupid. Having a hard-coded filter which disables "the N word" makes the website less accessible for young black kids.

My skepticism of the presence of alien life will be satisfied when physical evidence has been put forward. The existence of extra-dimentionals is not yet provable by the scientific method despite our recognition of dimensions which cannot be fully perceived in human terms. I wonder though, if life occurred on Earth, and this is 'implicit evidence' of life elsewhere, what prevents life from occurring in other dimensions if life occurred in 4D, especially regarding the 7th and above?

How relevant is that? Really?

We have not proved the existence of multiple dimensions, universes, or anything of the sort. The evidence for that sort of thing is tenuous and only leads to absurd hypotheses. And even if there are other dimensions, they are probably too hostile to allow for life to exist. ;P

Kepler is offline, but it found 134 exoplanets and 3,277 possible candidates in 5 years. If you recall, Kepler found that solar systems are numerous and similar to our own. Despite what Smith says during his time at Harvard-Smithsonian, most astrophysicists have faith that we will locate an extraterrestrial civilization within the galaxy in the next few decades.
