I don't use any drug or substance to get relief from stress but I know that technology has evolved to a point where VR is being used to treat people who are facing mental troubles. I think it's a good thing but I wonder if someone could get so addicted that he'd want to be plugged forever to a supercomputer.
That is the plan. Get us all so tied in with computers so that we will willingly submit to having a facsimile of ourselves "live" on in a digital world in exchange for giving up our lives. |

please explain this? Either way in the end your rating will mean nothing. No, I think the rest of the community will be delivering that particular message to you. |

I was trying to give you an opportunity to save face by messaging you privately before I made a post over it. I guess it was my mistake thinking you would have calmed down a bit and thought this through, instead you proceed to pre-emptively rip your own face off so I can't do it. Mission accomplished?
Also I told you not to contact me further in private because I am not naive enough to believe you would see that this was an overreaction, and any further replies of mine would easily be taken out of context and blown out of proportion... pretty much exactly what you just did.
It is irrelevant if you think 1 second (it was actually 2 seconds BTW) was a big deal. Offering an auction is a formation of a contract, one that is activated upon the first bid. You deciding to arbitrarily extend the auction time limit is in violation with your agreement of the bidders. This is what I was politely trying to warn you about, instead you turned a friend into an enemy, and completely exposed yourself. Good job.
yes right... ok, it was only one second on the timestamp, and that user even said he clicked on post before the time was up, yes I should have put on "no sniping" or even questioned it, I even asked you if you have never made a mistake? I made a call on MY auction, I err'd on the side of the internet and I had no problem reversing the situation, as I have all ready posted the goods out to the "real" winner but you have missed the point of this thread entirely, you threatened me to remove your rep, I had to explain the whole situation here so people were caught up properly, why not talk it over and message me calmly instead of the short temper burst, that's why this is here, another user asked me to remove rep on the thread, but when I logged on, I read that and your PM at the same time so I did not remove it. as you say, good job. I see, so now I have to explain how time and time zones work? If the last second you can bid is 7:59 and 59 seconds, where did that extra second come from? 0. 7:59:59 1. 8:00:00 2. 8:00:01 Also the fact you read my message as well as the request to remove the rating at the same time is an artifact of you living in the UK while I live in the US. I guess that is my fault too right? You can still turn this around buddy. Or keep doubling down. I don't really care. Either way in the end your rating will mean nothing. |

This is the problem with these people, even when they are completely wrong and absolute clear evidence is presented, even for the smallest mistakes, they wont EVER admit they were wrong. Tvbcof is just another dishonest liar pushing his own agenda, disgusting.
I see you exhibit exactly this behavior yourself. Funny how debate becomes difficult and frustrating when no one is willing to stick to basic intellectually honest standards. |

Why is it that none of you cared when China installed its own person as Interpol president, then proceeded to kidnap, and likely kill him WHILE HE WAS STILL THE SITTING PRESIDENT?

I am not saying time is arbitrary. I am saying that tying time to a universal aging process is arbitrary.
-time is real
-aging is real
-aging increases with time
-everyone ages at different rates
So two people who have lived for 40 years have not aged the same but linking aging to time suggests that. Its a very inprecise way of measuring age. Time was the most practical way of measuring age for most of history, but today Science has given us more precise ways of measuring age and it may be time to think about a transition away from the outdated time-age system. And here we are... right off the bat, head still firmly up your posterior, rather than reply to any of my quite valid arguments you begin to address the Postmodernist philosophical nature of time, and I am just closed minded and need to expand my line of thinking to reach "your level". No. This is another perfect example of Postmodernist mind rot. Rather than addressing the very real issues I raised you turn it into a philosophy discussion, and I just need to listen to the teacher until I "get it" (AKA operant conditioning). Ok but just because it took you 20 years to figure out your political stance, doesn't mean 20 years is how long it takes everyone to figure things out. I would say it is different for each individual. Aging is not linear and is affected by our experiences and environment. You are again demonstrating your problems with basic logic and reading comprehension. I didn't say it took me 20 years, I said it was 20 years ago. It was an anecdotal personal story as a reference of the progression of maturation in thought. The differences don't matter. The fact is this process is known and universal regardless of the scale and velocity of that progression. Age is not linear? Ok Mr. Postmodern. This is all generalized which is very useful when it is the only way but we now have ways to measure someones specific psychological development. There are plenty of 25 year olds who are still taking dangerous risks and 20 year olds who have advanced from the phase you are referring to. Why not treat people as individuals instead of this arbitrary solar number? Why not just charge the people who are reckless? No. We don't. Psychology is not a hard science. It is barely a science. On the scale of most to least scientific studies it is at the absolute bottom of accepted sciences. By scientific I mean follows scientific method and measures empirical data. Also there is the fact that there are no controls to compare to, no known "normal". Why not? because the law doesn't address individuals, it addresses all of us. In order for it to serve all of us this generalization is a requirement. Rule of law is important because it is the foundation on which we all agree to build our common reality. If this common reality is disassembled or destroyed then there is no rule of law, no society. You believe whatever you like in private, this concerns all of us. Age of key revolutionaries in 1776:

The funny thing about 35 is that Benedict Arnold was 35.
The point is that trends are not rules and should not be enforced on all individuals. These trends you speak of are real but there will always be people who are older and not as developed and vice versa. I am not denying that each individual gets wiser with age, I'm just saying we should look at people as individuals instead of grouping them based on times around the sun.
Everyone is learning at a different pace. Uh huh. Hey, can you tell me, what was the average life expectancy back then? Of course you didn't even bother to think about this because you are too busy struggling to confirm your bias. It was 36. Back then 36 was an old grandpa. Now it is closer to 72. People are living almost twice as long and you feel that no old people in charge then is evidence of anything other than the shitty living conditions of the time? I am not just trying to link it to Communism and Marxism, it is INTRINSICALLY LINKED to it, as it was created as a DELIVERY MECHANISM for Communism, with a nifty little scientific shell so the virus can slip past the immune system of our brains because it is fooled by the protein shell of "science". This whole trans movement is a direct result of Marxism via Critical Theory thru Postmodernism. As predicted it is resulting in just pure retardation and chaos, the very goal of Communism in a Capitalist society, so that it collapses to make way for Communism. So are you saying that academia is just communist propaganda? Why do you put "science" in quotations?  No, I am saying academia is over run with Communist propagandists and those that parrot its ideology. I put science it quotations because there is no science involved in "Critical Theory", unless you count the ulterior motive of the Hegelian dialectic being applied. I try to suspend disbelief and read everything with the assumption that the person is correct but when you go on rants about mind viruses and communism being dangerous, it really makes it hard.
Yeah, who ever heard of memetics right? Didn't you claim to have a degree in psychology was it, and you say you don't know what a meme is? I don't just mean like I posted above, I mean the concept of a mind virus. Ok, well thanks for again demonstrating your total incompetence in the area you claim expertise in. |

This was one of the most impressive talks I have ever seen given. Not just because of the content, but because of the way he handled the disruptors and even segued it back into his speech perfectly without missing a beat. I have never seen this tactic rebutted so perfectly and found it quite impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WEh51z1H_o |

Wow, can we all please chill out a bit please.
Let me try to explain my side:
I had lagg so my bid was to late -> My responsibility
My bid increase was obviously an typo, i was trying to type 0.11 but misspelled it in the heat of the moment with 0.15 -> also my responsibility and i was willing to take it for what is worth
@squall1066: Can you pls remove the neg. raiting from TECSHARE.
All was sorted out very fast so no need for drama.
In reality you share zero responsibility for this. You bid late, you didn't do anything wrong... you were just late. |

I cant believe the stink 1 second has caused, how dare you call me a sell out for 300 bucks, a second is nothing to me, mortare has backed out anyway.
I didn't call you a sell out. I gave you what I thought was a friendly warning that people notice these things. Your negative trust rating is way out of line and clearly childish retaliation for pointing this out (and costing you $300 in your mind). You go ahead and leave it up though and see how that works out for you. Needless to say, even if you do run any more auctions, I won't be participating in them if this is how you treat people who bid on your auctions. |

A suspect can deny gravity if they want, they are free to, that doesn't make gravity go away or change. Also denying charges is not equivalent to rejecting the entire judicial process. Also, weren't you people fond of saying over and over again "this is not a criminal investigation, it is a job interview?" So which is it?
The kettle calling the pot black right there. Weren't you one of the people the enjoy sucking trump's cock? Cause I'm pretty sure you do that in every thread regardless of the topic. Avenatti respects the legal system unlike others. Quoting for posterity, since no one else took a full quote. Wouldn't want it edited out later right? |

The US already has a border. People hate Trump's wall for many reasons....
Mainly international interests induce liberals to work against the wall because a porous open border would serious weaken the US. Just like it weakened Europe. That's what those international interests want. The next "caravan" will be 100,000 or millions of people. They are organized for political purposes by people with motives. The interest of the US is served by letting those in who we want in, not hardened criminals and not those with certain infectious diseases. It's our right to select who comes in, and it's not the right of whomever wants in to get in. For just one example, a left wing radical communist like yourself. I wouldn't let you in the USA. Are you sure Europe's issues can all be blamed on Schengen? Nothing to do with the 2008 crisis or the aging population? Future caravans will be bigger and bigger largely because of climate change. We can expect hundreds of millions of climate refugees worldwide by the turn of the century as there will be more flooding, droughts, and failed states because of all of that. I feel like the US should aim to have the largest acceptance rate. Why should any other country be better equipped to handle refugees than our large nation that was founded on these very principles? https://reliefweb.int/report/world/climate-migrants-might-reach-one-billion-2050We have a very low population density and 100,000 refugees is hardly a drop in the bucket. Our aging population demographics could be strengthened by a new influx of immigrants. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-miller-immigration/aging-united-states-must-get-the-economics-right-on-immigration-idUSKCN1BP184Historically, people showed up at Ellis Island and were widely accepted. Your idea of social engineering and selection of people based on racial quotas and an "ideal immigrant" is very new and reminds me of nazi Germany's desire to create a supreme race of people. The US was built on multiculturalism and the quote on the statue of liberty should still hold merit. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/10/30/solve-migrant-caravan-problem-help-us-economy-work-visas-column/1811074002/I respect your honesty but the idea that you would discriminate against someone because their political views are different from yours is un-American. Your desire to create a nation of people who only hold the views you hold is bigoted. I would never suggest the denial of someone simply because we have difference of political opinion. A lot of people come to America to avoid that same sort of political persecution you are suggesting. Have you no respect for diversity? Shame. Your sense of urgency is alarming. Why do you feel so threatened in the first place? If your ideas are correct and righteous, shouldn't you have faith that they will win out and withstand the test of the time? I see so you care about political discrimination do you? I can't remember you ever voicing a single concern over violence against Trump supporters and conservatives over the past couple years... funny how that rule suddenly changes isn't it? It is almost like your mind is constructed under a Post Modernist rubric where everything is pliable to the point that rules don't even exist any more, as long as you can explain it away! Overrunning a nation with invaders is an ANCIENT battle tactic. This isn't a new game, just new faces with new toys. https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-Kalergi-PlanThis is the template being followed. |

Post modernism. The idea is to constantly question everything until the very foundations of what holds our society together are no longer even considered a collective reality. It is right out of Critical Theory & The Frankfort School. The goal is to destroy society as we know it to pave the way for Marxism, Socialism, then Communism.
Although much of post modernism drones autonomously forward, post-collapse of the major Marxism countries and power systems, which have largely morphed into gangster operations today. But post modernism drones on. Post Modernism is the delivery mechanism of Marxism. This is all under Hegelian dialectic. Age is pretty silly. Sure, the approximate number of trips you have made around the sun is correlated with aging but your age is not an amount of aging that can be compared with the age of others. Now that we have better methods of measuring aging instead of just approximating it, we should start to think about the end of cosmic age. These arbitrary numbers only limit society. Someone long ago decided that 35 trips around the sun is necessary to be president, but now we have our oldest president and he happens to have the temperament of a teenager. Meanwhile, we have kids in school who know calculus but are grouped with kids who struggle with fractions not because of math ability, but because they have taken a similar number of trips around the sun. Post modernism. The idea is to constantly question everything until the very foundations of what holds our society together are no longer even considered a collective reality. It is right out of Critical Theory & The Frankfort School. The goal is to destroy society as we know it to pave the way for Marxism, Socialism, then Communism.
You often talk about the importance of logic and critical thinking so its strange to see you attack critical theory as a philosophy. I can understand attacking specific things that critical theory have produced but not the philosophical approach in general. Why would you insist on doing things certain ways just because that is the way they have always been done. Why not think critically about why we do everything the way we do it. Why not ask ourselves "whats the best way to do x?" instead of "how has x always been done?" Why blindly follow the people of the past? It doesn't sound like a great way of improving ourselves and progressing as a society. Its almost like you are rejecting this just because it can vaguely be linked to Marxism. As long as you can imagineer it and explain it away, any reality you like can be yours! It is as easy as lying to yourself! Thank you for being the perfect example of how post modernism rots brains. The solar cycles are not arbitrary, it is what humans evolved under. Furthermore it is the mechanism of action we use to give a universal definition to what we call time. Time is not arbitrary, and neither is the mechanism under which we calculate it. In fact for you to say so is pretty insulting to the people who worked so hard to change human history to make these discoveries. Those people were killed by people like you for doing so. Communism is the religion of the atheist. Age is important because young people VERY regularly, I would almost go the route of saying always, but not quite, think they know WAY MORE about the world, and living in it than they do. For example when I was about 20 years younger I thought Socialism was great, Bush was the devil, and all cops were bastards. As I grew older I learned first hand the results some of these things have for society. I learned Socialism is cancer, Bush is the devil, and some cops are bastards. In a youth's teenage years they are in a process of individualization from their parents. As a result of this they will OFTEN overestimate their abilities and endurance, and engage in situations that are WAY over their heads. They also take more dangerous risks, this is why insurance rates are higher for youths. Also there is a well known "invincibility" complex many young people, especially males, experience where they feel like they can face more wear and tear on their body than they actually can because their body is still growing, regenerating, and pumping out hormones. Once this time passes all those old injuries and abuses come back, and you feel it all. So to sum it up, there is a very good reason why the age is set to 35. Older people have been around a lot longer, and believe it or not they know more than young people on average. You know how I know this? They made it. Dumb people don't make it, they kill themselves in the risk taking phase. Best we don't let them take the nation with us during this phase isn't it? I mean the very concept of giving a teenager or even someone in their early 20s control of a nuke is terrifying. THE PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH IS THE PROBLEM. I know you still operate under the rubric of Communist indoctrinated academics of the US, but this time try doing some actual reading, not just skimming and arguing to confirm your bias. The VERY REASON Socialism/Communism is so dangerous is because it is BEYOND a political ideology, it is a MIND VIRUS. It uses people just like you who want to do good, but don't wanna work too hard to think about it. It offers all the warm fuzzy fantasies you desire, and only feeds you poison in return. It literally destroys peoples minds. The "philosophical approach" was literally designed to give Marxism the facade of being scientific. So your claim that the concepts are not linked is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst. Critical Theory IS the source of the problem, and Critical Theory, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism are all interchangeable phases of the same spectrum. I am not just trying to link it to Communism and Marxism, it is INTRINSICALLY LINKED to it, as it was created as a DELIVERY MECHANISM for Communism, with a nifty little scientific shell so the virus can slip past the immune system of our brains because it is fooled by the protein shell of "science". This whole trans movement is a direct result of Marxism via Critical Theory thru post modernism. As predicted it is resulting in just pure retardation and chaos, the very goal of Communism in a Capitalist society, so that it collapses to make way for Communism. You got some balls telling me I need to think critically when I have about 100 years of history of the horrors of this ideology to reference. You are the one being lead around by your nose via your emotions and the Hegelian dialectic. I am very sorry if you can't see this or look at this, but like I said, Critical Theory literally destroys minds. Some times the subconscious of the human mind does not let people see the truth if it would be exceptionally painful, such as say if you just spent a decade going into debt to be indoctrinated into this ideology just to find it is designed to destroy you. To wrap this up, get off your high horse. Pull your head out of your ass. Stop being so fucking arrogant and presumptuous and actually look into what I say. Then come back with an argument based on logic, facts, and (actual) science and get back to me. Or come back with more of your desires and fantasies and I will just keep ripping them apart. |

Well, excuse me for the terms. Don't you have any common sense? if the members of this forum and professional or degree holders have difficulty understanding the crypto, bitcoin and blockchain how much more the kids. Don't get me wrong about this matter dude. Though, I don't see any wrong if we teach them, but I think it is much better to let the children enjoy their childhood, this is just my opinion. I don't think anyone is advocating holding down children and propping open their eye lids to force them to learn cryptos. lol. I dunno about you as a kid, but I would have LOVED to learn about Bitcoin. |
