I think so, it's been some time since I did my Psychology exams and Google is no help when it just sends you to pay sites.Xhumed post=9.71107.714682 said:
You're welcome. I'm just pleased I got to put my keyboard in to Cyrillic mode. I wonder if I could mod my keyboard with a giant Soviet-era red button to do that, rather than the ol' pointy-clicky I do now...Amnestic post=326.71107.714725 said:See that makes sense. Thanks for that
The original idea of communism was genius, it just didn't have the right people in charge.scarbunny post=18.71107.714743 said:
Scientists theorize that there is an infinitely small but non-zero chance that an atom can spontaneously wink out of existence, which, by extension, means that there is an infinitely small but non-zero chance that a molecule can spontaneously wink out of existence. Further this, and there's a chance that you could wake up tomorrow wondering what the EFF happened to your genetalia. Either that, or everything you know and love could just dissapear, litterally.
The large hadron collider is supposedly capable of creating black holes. The people running the machine think that they can control any black holes created this way.

I suppose I'll bite and offer my $0.02...
I'm a younger fellow, but I've picked up a few things along the road of life that make me laugh upon reflection:
1. There are 3 things that are inevitable: Death, Taxes, and Lost Data.
2. You can sell anything to almost anyone if it employs one or more of the following in it's advertisement:
Sparkle/Shiny/Bright
Tits (mostly for men)
Stretched truths (lies, for the leyman)
Tits
A picture of people having fun or enjoying their experience while using the product
And of course...Tits.
3. Brilliance is often taken for granted.
4. Stupidity and idiocy are often rewarded, or not punished.
5. The uninformed will most likely become misinformed.
6. The misinformed will most likely attempt to spread their newly found information to the uninformed.
7. Choice defines a person. When they make a choice, most will hold onto it until the universe shifts in their favor before admitting their
choice was incorrect.
8. Faith is amazing. It can give people hope in the bleakest of times. It can bring people together to create a reliable community of accepting comfort. Faith can give purpose, reason, and direction to those without them. RELIGION is evil. The solidification of beliefs that define who is wrong and who is right without empirical evidence is wrong. Encouraging ideas of hatred and rejection of people who do not follow the same path is wrong and despicable. Wishing harm upon someone you have never met for something they believe, do, or cannot control is the lowest point of human thought.
9. Individual humans are incredible beings. Most are intelligent, witty, personable, emotional, reasonable. Humans as a group are incredible beings. They cease being intelligent, seek conformity, and lose all semblance of acceptance and openness that would otherwise be present in a solo situation.
And finally:
10. THE UNIVERSE IS BEAUTIFUL! There are things about our universe that blow my mind on a daily basis. Complexity, simplicity, order, chaos, attraction, repulsion, creation, destruction... The universe is an amazing place. Take some time to take it in.
