likes to spread his poop around when he goes to the bathroom. Me and my dad like to joke about how considerate he is when he doesn't move around while pooping, since it makes it easier to pick up. Is this damaging, too, because it's definitely anthropomorphization?

People are going to anthropomorphize for as long as we exist, it's what we do. It doesn't make sense, but people never do.

Can you imagine how godawful boring the world would be if everybody behaved in a way that made sense to everyone else?

You have to be willing to invest in some of the random shit they come up with. If you tell them they're only allowed to work on profitable stuff, their creativity will take a nosedive. You gotta invest in creative people, not just throw money at them.

Screens that can be rolled up will take off, then you can have a small form factor for when it's in your pocket or on your ear, but a big form factor when you're actually looking at the thing. I also predict that reflective screens that don't need a backlight will take off simply because we badly need a way to save battery power and the backlight uses up a ton of power.

These things will happen because it's something people will realize the benefit of without needing weasel-wording advertisers to sell it to them.

Will it happen in ten years? If we're super-lucky with research, then yes, yes it will.

Why are Republicans always the bad guys? Do you not realize that Republicans tend to feel the same way about liberals?

Each side believes they have rational reasons that the other side is batshit crazy.

Democrats believe conservatives are crazy and Republicans think liberals are crazy. It's like a law of nature.

Anybody else suddenly thinking about bears and eating porridge?

Those "enemies" were either random forces or not very powerful. Now we have a huge potential for destruction and probably tens of thousands of people evil enough to want to destroy the whole earth. Honestly, I believe the fact that we're still here indicates that there HAS to be a God, otherwise our luck has been insane. What about the stories of people(person? And maybe they're the only one stupid enough to post to the internet) who successfully built a small nuclear reactor(might not have been a reactor, but it was a nuclear something that wasn't a bomb) in their workshop?

Because they're better at praising the Lord than white people. Seriously, dude, have you ever been to an evangelical black church.

You assume that we'll make it that far. But you forget that as our knowledge increases, so does our potential to destroy ourselves. The US and Russia have enough nuclear bombs to destroy the world multiple times over. And even if we make it off the planet, those societies will just be conveniently tiny targets if someone decides to terrorize them.

If there is no God, there is no hope. We've gained tons of knowledge, but we're the same petty beings we were 6,000 years ago, nothing has changed.

I'm confused, are you calling evolution a lie or christianity? With the statements you made, either could be plausible.

Christians aren't christians simply because they "feel good," they have the Holy Spirit inside of them. I'm sorry you feel Christianity is incredibly worthless, but I can assure you it's the real deal. Your purpose is tied to Jesus Christ, He is the reason for your existence.

If you have not had an encounter with God, that is because you do not have a desire to have an encounter with God, it's totally on you.

God didn't kill those people, human selfishness did. Additionally, God does not give people more suffering than they can bear, have you considered the possibility that those writhing bodies might have ceased having conscious people in them long before they stopped writhing?

The proof of God's existence is the Holy Spirit, you don't know God because you don't want to know God.

I don't understand the appeal of evolution. Even if true, you're pushing the idea that life has no true purpose and random death means progress. If that's true, then by all means, let's placate ourselves with lies of resurrected skymen who die that we may live.

Seriously, wtf? I'd rather bet on a .001% chance that Jesus is Lord than 99.999% chance that life is based on nothing but random chance and death.

That being said I DO have faith in Christ, and the proof is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Why on earth would someone be unable to patent something that doesn't work? If I had the money and time to patent a manufacturing process for a square wheel, I'm pretty sure the patent office would accept it. They'd laugh at me, but that's not a reason to reject a patent.
