Not too creative with my own, it's essentially the name of a character I played in a tabletop years ago.
Somehow became my nickname, so I decided to just use it as my alter-ego online.

Whatever choices we have created either it succeed or fail is still part of Destiny. You cannot make any right/ bad decisions without it be destiny to happen in that way. I stronger believer of destiny and i don't think that whatever happened to me happen by chance.
That doesn't really make sense though, there are either choices or destiny, both cannot exist at the same time. Choices imply a free will, to choose where your life will go. Destiny implies that you have no free will and that you have no way of influencing anything in your life. I really don't understand why some people prefer being sleeping slaves instead of taking life into their own hands. |

Do you like first person shooter games like halo?how addicted are you to video gaming
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," right? Everyone needs a hobby, and gaming's been one of mine for as long as I can remember; dunno if I'd call it an addiction though. Shooters are fine, I still drop by the genre for games like Doom, though I'm most passionate about RPGs (including cRPGs and JRPGs), the genre's been on an uptick lately. I'd like to direct fellow-minded folks towards CD Projekt RED and Larian Studios and their works, they're really doing euro-gaming proud! |

Destiny according to religious is the pre-plan for our life by our creator and by religious standard we hardly determine what happened to us but as our creator has plan it before we were born. To science and psychology it a different things and psychologically what happened to us is our making. It is better to look at the two point of views in other for us to understand what is Destiny and what is not.
I'm all for differing perspectives, but as I've said in my previous post, I link the religious perspective to little more than defeatism or coping with things they can't influence. In stories, it can be an interesting concept, but in reality it's just pure nonsense. Can you say with a straight face that it is your destiny to take a shower? To cook a meal? To talk to your buddy? People only like to bring it up for "major" events, but if we assume a "creator" exists, then why would a burned down house or dead family be any less mundane than the examples I've listed, to them? Belief in destiny can be very dangerous, it's another way to tell you that life has no consequences 'cause everything is predetermined. |

They say that all our life is destined, right ?
"They" say a lot of things, a lot of it is just bollocks. When you boil it down, "destiny" is just defeatism, you don't want to take responsibility for your actions so you claim they were predetermined. Alternatively, it can just be a coping mechanism to accept things that have happened. The only place the concept of destiny has any value in would be in books, in stories. In reality, life is partially what you make of it and partially circumstance. |

Will the fight happen? Who will win?
Oh, without a doubt, it'll be Tom. The guy's insane, you should read up on all the things he did, other than his movie career. And even within his movie career, he still did his own stunts. If you've seen any of his spy movies, there is some impressive stunt-work going on. |

Eat the ones with the black seeds, your kids will be able to have kids, what do you think the gmo is doing to the watermelon, it is rending all of its kids infertile. The chemical they put on the watermelon plants will give you cancer as well -A Farmer
Sure thing, Mr. Farmer, things like grafting trees are tooootally not GMO, which tooootally gives humans cancer/infertility/makes them grow horns lol Why do people always need a boogieman? In case it wasn't obvious, the first sentence is loaded with sarcasm, most food we consume on the daily has been altered in some way, yet life goes on for humanity. |

All this - staring at LCD screens creates a detrimental physical condition called; Forward Head Posture.
as many as 9/10 people in developed countries have it.
As it's name implies it's a posture where the head is further forward than it should be.
Never knew this was a thing, thanks for bringing it to our attention. Really puts things into perspective, how seamlessly harmless habits can affect our bodies. Will make sure to look into it more, the links you provided should be handy. Given how many hours I spend on the PC daily... glad luck was on my side to find this post  |

Do you really need a Degree these days?
If you had to do it all over would you go to college?
Think of the degree as your ticket for job interviews. Won't matter AS much if you're freelancing or whatever, but I think it's safe to say that most employers want to see a degree before they consider hiring. It's less of an intelligence thing and more a show of discipline, when all's said and done. Don't go into debt over it though,wait till you're sitting on enough cash before committing. |

When I am in public or when a stranger, especially a girl, makes me feel very ashamed.
I feel my face turn red and I do not know what to speak.
Are there any tips to get rid of this shyness؟
help me
Frankly, there's no single solution that applies to all people. That being said, when I was shy, I kinda just "ripped the band-aid off", kept getting into embarrassing situations until they stopped affecting me as much. Initially, as you can imagine, I had a lot of sleepless nights thinking of all the painfully embarrassing moments, but over time it just started turning into confidence. It boils down to exposure therapy, it did work in my case. There's always room for improvement however. If you're hoping to find an easier method, I don't think there is one, but good luck either way. |

I've had a couple of my posts deleted already (I am guessing because they didn't add anything). I'd like to avoid looking like a schmuck in the future, so for people that have been around here awhile, what is the single best piece of advice that you have for a Bitcoin Talk beginner. Preferably something that isn't covered in the Newbie pinned thread. I have read through that at least three times now  I'm also somewhat new and went through the same thing, initially. Since you've already read up on the rules, and all that, I'll skip over the usual advice and just share a bit of my experience -- I'd suggest avoiding very short posts. Not saying "quantity over quality", but you're less likely to have your post removed if you actually took some time & effort to properly write out your thoughts. Likewise, try and engage in conversations rather than always replying to the first post on a thread, chances are someone's already said something similar to what you wanted to say. You might wanna add to that, or maybe present a different take. People tend to appreciate dialogue more than just shouting at the wall, as far as I can tell anyway. |

Can anyone tell me how any of this is distinguishable from state sponsored child abuse and mutilation? A six year old child doesn't know anything about sex or gender and would say anything their parent or parents want them to to get their approval. This kind of thing is becoming a regular occurrence and CPS are taking people's children over refusing to allow this to be done to their children. This subject needs to have more attention on it. This is an inexcusable trauma and permanent mutilation of children backed by state power. This needs to stop. https://savejames.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py_AcKYkifUThis shit is beyond disgusting. Is that what modern progressiveness is in the US? To say it's gone too far would be one hell of an understatement. Some counter-movement to this insanity needs to start, and fast. I worry it may spread to where I live. |

Let's think for a second.
Would such a world benefit mankind? Would it destabilize the current geo-economics? Is there even a remote possibility that we as humans let go of this ancient tradition of drawing lines on sand that have only served to create problems among masses and has done NOTHING good so far?
Even if you remove that particular barrier, there's still a ton of other barriers that'd prevent peace and prosperity, stuff like language, culture, beliefs, morals...etc. It also needs to be said: this current migrant crisis has shown how bad it can be when people with no will to integrate swarm a country. You can see the damages all over Europe. |

He is a denier, first asks for proof of species changing into other species, proof is shown, he denies it, then he simply goes back to his old roots, thats not evolution, he says, ask him what is the definition of evolution, he doesnt know
It really is like talking to a wall. All the proof in the world wouldn't be enough for him, he keeps arguing in bad faith and engaging in sophistry. Half-convinced he's trolling, to be honest. |

- But you just can't seem to even say what the proof was.
I literally reference it in the next sentence. On my end, there's the guppy experiment, dog breeds. Someone has mentioned cancer cells also showing an ability to evolve, viruses and bacteria are evolving just as any living creature is, we're just about to enter a post-antibiotic age because of that.
For someone so willing to pull out a dictionary, you sure struggle with reading. Could spend all day finding and quoting all the other points and links presented to you by other people, but you'd just resort to sophistry again. |

^^^ Except that everybody uses gravity every day, but doesn't think about it because we all are familiar with it. But nobody knows that evolution theory evolution (ETE) exists, except that he might think that it does from being told by someone else. The Model T evolved into a large variety of cars and trucks. But not by ETE. A child evolves into an adult. But not by ETE. All kinds of changes in breeding are made to happen, but not by ETE. All the talk about ETE happening is just talk. There is no proof. We don't even know if it is possible... ... Or do you have some proof. If you do, please spend 2 or 3 brief sentences telling us if it is by DNA examination or what, and how it can tell us what happened over the last supposed 400,000 years of Earth history. Remember that I have asked you for this in other posts in other ways. But you haven't shown the proof or really even talked about it. If evolution is so definite as you seem to think, you should be able to provide us with definite examination processes, so that we all can examine the past, to see how the processes work together. Not just stories about how it must have happened. Real proof of how it did happen. Not guesswork that could be attributed to things other than ETE. Evolution is a hoax.  You think evolution is something that you turn off and on? It happens every day as well, but for complex organisms -- it is a slow process. And there you go again, denying that any proof was presented to you when it clearly was, multiple times by multiple people. On my end, there's the guppy experiment, dog breeds. Someone has mentioned cancer cells also showing an ability to evolve, viruses and bacteria are evolving just as any living creature is, we're just about to enter a post-antibiotic age because of that. The "examples" you used are nonsensical, whether you believe in it or not, evolution will keep happening. |

^^^ Denying evolution doesn't have anything to do with it. Evolution is there in hoax form. We don't have to deny it. Dog breeds don't have anything to do with changing animals from one kind to another... except if they are breed changes, which isn't changing one kind of animal to another. Humans are not a breed of some kind of single cell animal that lived in the ponds 400,000 years ago. If you find DNA in one animal, so what? Proving evolution would take tracking the DNA of thousands or millions of animals over periods of hundreds of thousands of years in the past. As it is, we can't even agree on the ages of some of the fossils. We haven't even started to do what it takes to prove evolution theory evolution (ETE). You still aren't showing any proof for ETE, which includes many thousands of years. In fact, you are more or less agreeing that there isn't any proof when you say that science dosn't magically provide facts and answers. So, since science hasn't provided ETE facts and answers, maybe science is trying to tell us that they don't exist. There are only a tiny few facts and answers that might suggest evolution, while not suggesting something else at the same time. They don't prove evolution. They might only suggest that there might be something like evolution. So far, they also show that evolution probably doesn't exist, or that abiogenesis of every "kind" of creature might have been the way. Since they show this, why say that evolution is fact? We don't know that evolution is fact. When we say that it is, without knowing that it is, we are simply furthering the point that... Evolution is a hoax. "Evolution is there in hoax form" doesn't really make any sense. It is there, and you've been provided with a lot of evidence of it happening in a way that's observable for us. By multiple posters, at that. Are you saying that a chihuahua is an identical animal to a great dane? The only thing tying those two together is that they're both mammals and share ancestry. Most dog "breeds" only came into existance in a century or so, no magical gene splicing, just selective breeding and proper diets. My point about science not magically providing answers is simply comparing it to dogma, it's not a religion, it doesn't preach -- it's a method of learning about the world. "Science" won't prove things to you, the scientists doing the research will. The whole point of the scientific method is to arrive at a logical, and factually backed up, conclusion. What you're looking for clearly isn't proof since all your replies to proof tend to be "haha that's not proof, show me proof". If it's the word that's bugging you, just call it a theory. Would remind you that gravity is also a theory, doesn't make either of them any less real though. |

If you went out into the woods, and dug up the skeletons of a couple of raccoons that had been dead for 20 years, there might be some DNA left in their bone marrow or in their teeth. If you were a very good geneticist, you might be able to tell if these two raccoons were related from their DNA, and maybe even if one of them was the parent of the other. But you would have to be very good to tell this with certainty. If you know of a way that you can show that some fossils were the literal parents of other fossils, how does it work without any guesswork? DNA is long gone. How about if there was an ancestor/descendant relationship between a couple of fossils of completely different animals? How does anybody know it for sure? DNA is long gone. How do you know if the two fossils that you say are ancestor/descendant, are not really two completely different animals that came about completely separately with no ancestor/descendant relationship at all? Saying that there had to be a relationship - THERE JUST HAD TO BE - doesn't cut it scientifically. Why not suggest that ALL the different animals came about separately, with absolutely NO ancestor/descendant relationship? So, how do you determine it? If you don't have a really factual way, then nobody knows if there even is any kind of the evolution that evolution theory suggests exists. What is the way that tells us factually. Even Astargath hasn't been able to explain this. But maybe you are a better explainer than he is. So print it out right here in simple, brief language so we all know. And don't go about copying and pasting some gibberish that some orator who doesn't know anything about evolution proof just spouted out. We want the proof principle in simple language that shows us the proof for evolution over the multiple thousands of years of ancient prehistory times. From what you wrote there, you aren't exactly denying evolution, rather, you don't seem to understand how ancestry works. I'll go back to dog breeds here -- both golden retrievers and rottweilers are dogs, would you say that they're completely different animals as well? Pretty much all dog breeds are "artificial" in a way, where we only let them breed with specific partners to let certain attributes become more dominant. They are still "dogs", as different as the breed might be, they all share the same ancestry. I haven't worked at a lab, so I can't get too specific there, but fossils can and do hold DNA for a lot longer than 20y, they recently found an 800,000 years old one in Greenland, still had preserved genetic material. It's not so much a matter of a skilled individual, but more so how good our tools are. DNA is not the only "resource" used to link species. Science doesn't magically provide facts and answers, it's a method to get to them. Astargath's been explaining things pretty well, and less long-winded than myself, you're just dismissing things a priori instead of trying to understand the evidence logically. |

jes like the abiltiy to sell stuff to germany to buy stuff that is important like equipment for your industry and urban infrastructure,
doesnt matter brexit is same nazi drug like ukip, or tories. brexit is even more extreme and mindless.
farage is your fuherer.
and for what? so your fisher get free to fish as much fish as they want from other regions?
destroying the environment in the process
That's a lot of buzz words, but not very coherent. You're just gonna have to accept that brexit was the will of the people, and labeling all those you disagree with as "nazi" really isn't helping your argument. Hell, even ukip are pro free speech, not exactly a totalitarian quality. Though they were dumb enough to get that youtuber to represent them. |
