I purchased something from LIVE one time. It took my money and then nothing happened.
So I was sitting there asking why my download hadn't even started and checking my account to see if maybe the money transaction hadn't processed, and was about to just put another 20 down for the content and try again but my spider senses tingled and I said fuck it.
Came back later and everything started up fine. Turns out the power of next gen's servers had a hiccup and were fine with taking my money once and potentially twice but not registering the download at the time.

Then tell me what it means to you.
Also please don't pull this "all words are invented" shit because it's just pedantic for the sake of being pedantic. It's not productive.
I just told you what it means--it's a word used to describe people who are prejudiced against Muslims, similar to anti-Semitism. You can hate and criticize Islam all you want, but once you start calling for all Muslims to be killed and shit, then we have a problem. And there are crazy fucks in society who think all Muslims need to be put to death just for being Muslim.
The reason I brought up the FACT that all words are invented is because I don't understand your point in describing islamaphobia as an "invented" word. So what? Does that de-legitimize the word to you? Why point that out?
See, now that's the proper "on paper" definition of the term. But the problem once again is that people sensationalize shit. For example. My personal stance at the moment on the muslim community is that I have no beef with them. I'm not going to go out of my way and bring them down and call for death and shit like that. But at the same time, I'm cautious and worried. Because how do I know? How am I going to know that the smiling and clearly islamic man of faith coming at me down the street isn't ready to hit the trigger on a vest or pull out a weapon? And you can't say that it's an irrational fear or worry because that's the exact tactic being used to kill people in the first place, apart from blunt, straight up force. Sleeper agents are fucking awful. Now, if I were to mention that to anybody around me, I'd be called islamaphoboic. In fact I have. But the reality is there. It's ugly, but it's there. It's exactly what Canada did in the second world war when the japanese declared themselves as enemies. Canada rounded up japanese citizens and detained them for the same reasons and thoughts I mentioned. You don't know. And do you really want to take the risk? To me, my point of view doesn't sound like Islamaphobia. But media and people being the sensationalist over the top bleeding hearts that they are have to go and declare any dissent whatsoever as "islamaphobia." Thereby silencing people bringing up valid points, and doing more harm than good.

String theory is just mathematical theology. It's very little more than a hypothesis.
Care to elaborate? I'm not an expert so I'm interested.
I can't explain much since I don't remember too much on string theory, but I can talk about the basics. In the study of physics and those fields, there's still a lot of things we don't understand, and therefore, a lot of our ideas don't work when applied with what we have. I won't use string theory, but I'll use another example. When dealing with time, theoretical physicists often use two measures of time. Actual time, and Imaginary Time. Imaginary Time is like a space that people can theorize in that doesn't obey our current known laws, allowing them to theorize outside the box and end up with possible conlclusions to problems. String theory is very much another theoretical framework like this, except that it applies to particles.

I'll admit this brought a tear to my eye. There is no justice in the world.
I think it'll be incredibly difficult to ever truly forget the semi-buddhist novelist, whose ideas I never had much respect for. But, you're truly a decent person, which is more than I can say for most. If nothing else, you'll live on in our memories.
Godspeed, Sandtrap. I wish you all the best.
Well, I don't intend on going anywhere. I have an end goal to reach. My best general estimate is six months. I've already gone through february and most of march. That's two months gone already. That means if I hold to the standard given to me, I'll go in July. But I refuse to die until I've seen the US elections in November so that I can both laugh my way to hell and go peacefully knowing I won't potentially have to exist in a world where emperor Trump is president if he gets in. November. I can make it that far. This ain't an election year to miss.

Trump called out Brussels by name as a terriost target months ago.
What's your point.
I saw a comic strip somewhere of Trump whispering "mexico" into the mic and having all his fans start screaming and take their tops off. Just swap Mexico with Belgium and in the next big talk with Trump I'm sure it'll come up.

do you think the trailers revealed too much about the film?
They always do. I watched all the trailers on my way home from the cinema for the first time, and was pretty shocked at how revealing some of the clips were, especially considering the half-hour recorded lecture Snyder decided to put in front of his movie encouraging us "not to spoil the movie for others". Like, you've already done that, jack-ass.
It's a fucked up trend nowadays, which is why I try to avoid all trailers and stuff for every movie I know I'm going to see. Things like Suicide Squad and Civil War, for example. If I'm going to see it anyway, why do I need to watch a trailer?
Because you're now required to buy tickets and board the hype train for every event since directors have no confidence in their crap's selling potential and freak out if they think it's not going to rake them in half a 3rd world country's worth of money.

Personally, I'm all for invoking natural selection by allowing worthless druggies to kill themselves on their substances.
More freedom, less idiots to deal with.
That only works in theory on paper. What you kinda left out there is the collateral damage done to other people by people who've gone off the deep end with whatever drugs they're involved with. I mean sure if dad or mom wants to drink their livers into oblivion that's fine. What's not fine is that mom makes fetal alcohol syndrome babies and drunken dad or mom both abuse their kids. And they bum money off relatives for more booze when they hit rock bottom. Emotional and physical damage, yada yada. I mean it'd be great if people could just ruin their lives in privacy and not drag others down with them.

Warframe escort/protect missions on high difficulties are literally satan. At least in some of them your escort can move as fast as you and they're more nimble than most enemies, but they're made of fucking paper.
You know what's worse than escort missions?
Games that have co-op missions designed for multiple players, but because you have no friends, you have to solo the mission when it's built and functions around having other players helping you out.

I doubt they'll ever actually "see" the big bang, but it's almost confirmed at this point. They theorized about the critical years after the big bang in the early expansion period, and sure enough, their theories line up with background radiation and light checks they've discovered as they look farther away in the universe. They've looked so far back that they're only a few billion years off from the theorized starting point to everything. As for string theory, that's a no-brainer. String theory is used mainly as a good theoretical framework to help solve problems. As for time dilation, I can't really answer that one. Of the few things I've read involving time I wouldn't have enough to say anything. You're out of date on "infinitely expanding" by the way. At the moment, current projections and such "hint" that it'll forever expand because it has a stable framework, but they all point to it gradually slowing as it expands outwards. That's only with what we currently know though. The stuff we know is there but we can't "see" plays a role too. And, as for life, I think you're mistaken somewhat about the parameters needed for it start. When life started out here, there was no oxygen yet. There wasn't "water" yet since oxygen wasn't around yet. It was other liquid compounds, but not straight up water. It was most likely lightening in our atmosphere that created new particles and elements that allowed things to merge and create organic molecules. You don't quite need water for life, to be certain. Just the right compounds and exposure and all the material neccessary for organic molecules forms and starts doing it's thing. It's not controversial to say we're alone in the universe. Since at the moment that statement rings true due to our communication and travel abilities. But to even think that in something as inhumanly massive as the universe that the same common reaction with molecules found here on our planet didn't occur elsewhere in all that space is just absurd, really. Hell, the scientists who theorized about this made an isolated bubble, dumped in gases that were in theory, around during early earth days, and subjected them to lightening, and they got everything needed to start the process. Whether it starts or not is the important bit. But with such an immense amount of complexity and options for organic molecules to form, and the sheer number of worlds with conditions close to ours, it's almost a sealed deal completely without even having found anything yet.

I have your solution. Buy a big freezer.
Put mattress and pillow in freezer.
Sleep comfortably.
And never wake up again!
That's why you leave the door open you dummy.
And here you had me thinking you weren't suppose to wake up
No. That protocol only goes into effect when branches of relatives you don't like come to visit for the holidays.

I legitimately don't really comprehend why people vote for politicians in the first place anyway.
Well who else are we supposed to vote for? Did you word that wrong?
No. I didn't. I don't think we're supposed to vote for anybody, frankly. Personally, I think that a lot of our modern day society has a lot of holes in it. People might argue that the current system is what has helped us get so far, which is a fair point. But that's no reason to keep a failing system in place.
And you can't look at current western governments and seriously suggest to me that they aren't turning into failures if they already aren't. As it stands, right now, I'd say that governments exist and operate for the wrong reasons and they have far too much jurisdiction and tread in places they shouldn't.
Who else are you supposed to vote for? Nobody. It's a rigged game and continuing to play it is childish.
Well then what's the better alternative? There needs to be some people running the nation, right?
Unless you're an anarchist.
I may live in a field but I'd like to think that I'm not dumb. I know the history of my province. If it wasn't for the mounties that rode out from Ottawa under government orders and established rule and law, this province would have stayed lawless and directionless. I know there has to be some people running the show in an overlapping, leading sort of structure. I just don't think that the current structure does a good job, nor will it ever be capable of it because it's not structured correctly. It needs a sytem reboot, methinks.

I always like to think the Big Bang theory is false and that the universe has always been there. Humans and life as we know is all based with time, and that's how we think. It's hard to ever think anything can be "infinite". Everything has to have a beginning and end, as the human mind can't comprehend something being there forever, always.
Of course that's most likely not true because evidence for Big Bang is quite a bit. I just like to fancy the idea.
That's invalidated by our old pal einstein figuring out that time is a functioning aspect in the universe and influenced by the universe, rather than existing outside of it as some constant.
Your idea might not be so far off though. Think of it like this. Our whole universe is based off renewal and dispersal. Cycles of creation and destruction and so on. I like to think of the big bang as the kickstarter. Renewal. Some time along the line, as our universe ages, and the bonds between matter break down until everything is too distant and everything exists in a near zero energy state, something happens to start the process again.
I know that current models predict that we'll just reach a cold death and nothing more. But the existence of the big bang invalidates this if you think about it. An infinitely dense, singular point does not come from nowhere. I think it's foolish to assume that a definite end can result to a universe when the universe itself spontaneously showed up from nothing.
Plus, we sure don't know everything about how the universe works either. The theories we have today will no doubt change in the future.
An interesting perspective, and yeah, we don't even know anything about Dark Matter, so... yeah it'll change.
What if the Big Bang was just another mass recycle in the infinite cycle of events in the universe? Like it fades away, boom. And just keeps repeating at one point or another? In that sense, it could be infinite, no?
That's what I was getting at. You and me, everything around you is made of something that once was something else. Critters live and die, things form and erode, but their fundamental building blocks never fade and just become part of the framework for something else. In it's own very special, abstract snowflake sort of way, nothing ever ends.
