2025 Meeeehhhhh

2019 - Half-Life 3 is released with no fanfare whatsoever and nobody makes any sort of big deal about it.

BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE THE COMMERCIALS! ;~; #crievurtim

1999 years since an arbitrary date that was deemed to be the start of "in the year of the lord."

BTG can't respond to things that are idiocy, only things that are insane. There's a difference of some sort.

Hey man, he's going to cherry-pick the comments he talked about the first time anyway. Just leave it be. It's easier to ignore the stupid things people say than to teach rationality.

1993 - my dad and biological mother have sex and conceive me. Gawd damn.

1980 windshields wiped.

1978 cars washed

1972 faces licked

How's the DOTA 2 thing going?

1970 (million) comments ignored (that's approaching two billion, by the way).

1968 typos corrected.

1966 lost dogs found.

Adventures was good, don't get me wrong, but I severely felt it didn't belong in the Star Fox universe. It was originally meant to be a separate title anyway, but they decided to use Star Fox just 'cuz. I think they shouldn't have detracted from "the formula," even if it meant letting the series die. There's always the option to start something completely new.

1963 Kittens murdered and counting~

I enjoyed that game a lot. I just hate how the story had to fit Krystal and stupid dinosaur planet into it. Like for serious, Adventures ruined the potential of the series following Star Fox 64. Anyway I purchased Creeper World 3 on steam and am having a hard time not drowning with how much time I'm spending on it.

Not my exact wording, but essentially and for the most part, yes. I would believe there's a growing number of people who don't truly believe in a religion. While they may still hold some of those beliefs, they adapt the way things are interpreted to better match with our current society. We live in a world of constant change, religion isn't exempt from such changes.

1968

It'll grow back. My last haircut had been back in December.

Me about a week ago. Me today.

Precisely. People can't keep clinging to one set of outdated beliefs with the speed at which society advances. It becomes a crutch on many issues - as seen in the U.S. where people are arguing over the rights of same-sex couples, abortion, sex education (some places will teach or offer to teach classes that don't talk about contraceptives and will focus on remaining abstinent until marriage), and there are people who will question scientific advances without really knowing anything about the subject matter.

1966

1953

Would not an achievement of some form of intellectual transcendence be the end-goal of any species? Us living today are a contributing factor for the future ability of our species to make such advances. Though that seems a bit of a tangent of what you're trying to communicate in this post. I grant humanism/philanthropy (I've yet to study the difference between these two. I've seen humanism more than philanthropy so far, so I'll mostly be referring to humanism) isn't an ideology onto itself, but it's a philosophy through which ideologies may be molded for the benefit of improving the quality of life for everyone. In a broad sense, religions that instill a fear of punishment vs. reward after death causes people to focus on their selfish needs and desires to avoid that punishment or to earn that reward. I imagine most followers of such beliefs don't feel or realize this selfishness as a matter of not being truly selfish people to begin with. Such people will work with the intent of benefit for others, and so are subscribing to a humanist philosophy (in a general sense). This is how people who are atheist or agnostic can define their morals, in the genuine care and compassion for a fellow human over their own selfish goals and needs. Facilitating this philosophy focuses people on the real reasons they perform charitable "good work" actions. As a result, we step away from inward focuses and towards genuine outward compassion for others around us. Everything I just said makes perfect sense in my head, but I'm not sure it really makes much sense overall.
