Probably Chiteng, right?

Definitely. The giveaways are: Capitals; Failure to pluralize; And absence of apostrophes.

I'd spot a Borachio from a mile away.

 

[Borachio]

Well.

I'll take that as a good thing. If you don't mind. So, thanks.

An old one: Arguing with <this very nice person> is like performing fellatio on yourself; painful, pointless, and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Although I disagree with "pointless"

Nevertheless, talking about this with you is like complaining to the Pope about religion, in other words, utterly useless and a colossal waste of time.

Nice!

 

[Terxpahseyton]

On his last day as Pope, he should announce that God isn't real and then ride naked trough the streets on a motorcycle. I say the next Pope should be Ziggy Marley.

I approve of this message (and I am SiLL)

 

[NedimNapoleon]

I agree. Ziggy Marley should be the next pope.

Everyone on the Paradox forums acts like Dachs, only with a microscopic fraction of the knowledge possessed by Dachs.

So they act nothing like Dachs.

The claim that each living things sees itself as a discrete, self-sufficient entity doesn't seem to match with the empirical evidence, so far as I've pursued it: human infants don't appear to have any such sense of themselves, living rather in what I guess you might call a sort of "one-ness" with their surroundings, and as far as we can tell, neither do most animals. (Some even argue that this "one-ness" underlies the being of mature humans, as well, and that our self-identification as discrete beings is an abstraction made in specific circumstances.) This sort of self-identification represents a relatively high degree of abstraction and thus a relatively high degree of cognitive development, which a mouse or a lizard, let alone an earthworm, simply isn't capable of.

(I mean, even the idea that we do have stable boundaries is far from obvious, and a lot of contemporary thought in biology, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, etc. calls for us to see the subject [and its environment] as an at least relatively fluid system, rather than [the subject as an independent] permanent Thing.)

Deep.

I can smell it.

On being called a Trotskyite

Well, it's like going up to a hipster and asking them if they like The Killers. It's like they spent all those hours trawling through bins of bands-you've-probably-never-heard-of for nothing.

The point may be the point - like orgasm is the "point" to sex, but getting there can involve more than 7 seconds of pelvic gyrations. Skyrim, to stretch this tortured analogy, provides you with an optional vacation on the Rhine, several multiple course dinners, a selection of romantic movies and a trip to a wine tasting event and erotic novel shoppe. You don't have to do any of these things to experience the "point." But it might even cook breakfast for you when you're done if you want it to. While asking if you want ham or eggs.

Golden.

In the thread about medals for drone pilots:

They should get one of those steam achievements.

Brilliant.
