If we're talking about porn stars.

Yes, it is quite popular to watch that. Or so I hear.

Does it have a watermark?

Photos are taken from a wrong angle due to someone holding the phone wrong.

After all... It's the word of Steve. A known benefactor of humanity, through past and future incarnations as an Earth Sprite.

...that they are holding it wrong?

You're still wasting time on this? Good.

That sounds like something a gazelle might say.

He's not the real owner of that ID.
Notice the sudden change in the pattern of posting?
Which was sporadic with months between posts, and then suddenly he gets into a daily argument over a well known internet meme?

The real owner of that ID has long been digested by dogs or fish.
That's why you should not live alone, away from the civilization.
Someone will notice that, will come to your door, kill you, and take your slashdot ID.

Zelazny usually is. :)

I'm not talking about humans.
Particularly stock humans. As a stock human I could go for days just looking at the second hand on a watch making rounds.

I'm talking about aliens who have achieved immortality through... say... genetics, BUT inadvertently ticked off the check box for "curiosity" in the process.
Or better yet, like you say, ticked on the check box for boredom.

Not being bored because immortality is boring, but bored cause now they can't NOT BE bored.

The Borg would probably be bored out of their minds.
Plugged into all knowledge of all assimilated civilizations, processing at the maximum speed available, with new information trickling in slowly...
No wonder only one in the collective is NOT a mindless drone, and she is pissed off and bitchy all the time.

OR... They are NEVER BORED.
Think EVERYTHING being THE MOST EXCITING THING EVAR!
Somewhere out there, there's a planet covered in immortals, covered in millennial layers of dust of the ruins of their civilization - and they are "OMG!!! SOOOOOO EXCIIIITEEEEED!!!" about it all.
Like The Great Slow Kings, only very pleased about everything.

Not everyone lives under a rock either.

And if you are arguing that you've never heard of that Futurama reference before...
You are either lying, have been in a coma for the last couple of decades (it's a show from the '90s, bro), are 3 years old, have been in a prison (solitary) for the last couple of decades or in some other way removed from the society in general and geek/nerd crowd in particular.

I'm leaning towards being a convicted murderer who just got out of prison and killed the real cribera, stealing his laptop and now posting on slashdot under his name.
It would also explain the trolling. You do that cause you're a sociopath.

Except it's not.
A real agnostic would give same credence to existence of Superman or fairies as he/she would to existence of god.
Because, "Hey... maybe... I don't know."

It's not scientific or rational to assume "Just because I repeatedly checked the box and found it empty, doesn't mean a cupcake won't suddenly appear inside when I die and take me to cupcake land".
It's either crazy, or intellectually and morally dishonest.

Absence of evidence is not just "NOT evidence of absence".
It's primarily ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE.
Again and again.
Repeatedly.
Constantly.
It adds up.
Or down.
To "NO".

And based on such "gathered" evidence, scientific and rational thinking is NOT to assume "maybe I don't see it, therefore it might be there".
Scientific and rational is to throw away the premise of anything being there.
One wouldn't keep drawing one's own blood and testing it for HIV just because all the tests so far showed NO EVIDENCE of presence of HIV in one's blood.
And that's looking for something that we actually know exists.

There's a reason Pascal's WAGER is not used as valid reasoning for any other "Yes or No" choice.

No, no, no... Grinch clearly has a heart and not "a big empty spot where heart used to be".

Or he HAD a heart.

Because SCIFI.
You know... The main topic.
You know, those completely imaginary stories, which people imagine around premises like "Maybe A with maybe B equals maybe C... Hmmm... How would that go?"

The second comment is me telling you to go and IMAGINE a plausible story of your own, around that concept or some other.
And I told it as a JOKE, which includes a reference to a comical SCIFI show.

Funny thing is, I added the Futurama reference to MAKE SURE no one mistook my reply for something other than jovial.
Clearly, that went well.

Easy. Someone else with mod points understood what I said and got the reference.

That I just threw out a premise out there for others to play with? I doubt you had that in mind with "about you".

It's a premise for a 1950-ish sort of scifi.
You could even back it up with some philosophy about civilizations and how they calm down and anchor intelligent species and even some science about how lower testosterone levels kill off the drive to do anything.
You know... to make the box you're putting it in seem more solid.

Except it's still thinking inside a box.
The main question is "Where are the ETs?"
NOT "Have they eliminated their curiosity and thus eliminated themselves?"
Fine!
Maybe they do eliminate themselves that way, maybe they don't. But where are all the OTHER ETs?
Huge Universe, remember? Not a small "maybe this thing explains it" box.

One of the reasons I dislike the Planet of the Apes remakes (though I don't like the originals either) is that they are completely missing that point.
Apes didn't "rise" defeating humans in some battle or through some immunity to a disease - THEY REPLACED THEM as the dominant, intelligent species after humans killed and culled themselves off.
The other ETs.

Well, I need Google to tell me what exactly means being a "Scorpio". Can't keep everything upstairs.

So what does that tell you about people who do need to be reassured about their "smartness", by grabbing onto correlations that will make them "appear 5-10% more smart"?

Not every sample is representative of the whole population.
