Peace and War

Grrrrrrreat! Yourself?

Good to hear! Yes, I am also doing pretty well!

Lit!

Hello, my dear.

:D

Thank you. Sorry for the appallingly late reply. Interesting to see if it'll be reinforced well.

No problem, I wasn' t expecting an answer on that one anyway. Besides, you are of course allowed to have a life. ^^

Cheers me dears!

:D

well at least you are artistic with your transition.

orange>pink>gray>white

Mine makes no sense D:

White, grey, white, teal, rainbow, pink, red, pink.

Yeah, i'm so much better, ha.

Well I didn't count the teal and rainbow I've also dealt with. God damn I miss teal so much

By preaching I meant advocating for or something. Probably not the best choice of word, but it wasn' t meant to be a jab.

The stress that comes with cognitive dissonance isn' t necessarilly conscious. Everyone does it, it' s one of the flaws that comes with the way our brains are built.

Yeah, I saw a poll recently, not sure how reliable it was but it said a bit over 50% of Americans believe atheists have no morals. Britain was at 20%, France 15%. Hell, saying god wants this or that in a political argument would amount to career suicide here. My grandma and I aren' t at each other' s throat, don' t worry. ^^

I' m not too worried by solipsism or Zhuangzi' s dilemma. Reality or not I' m stuck here, I might as well be pragmatic about it.

When it comes to video games my priorities lie elsewhere, I want the gameplay to be good first and foremost. If the story' s good too, cherry on the cake. Did you hear its creators are writting a TLoU movie ?

And btw, since it' s somehow related to what we just discussed, what did you think of the ending ? Would you have lied to Ellie ? Would you say it was fair ? I' d like them to make a sequel because I loved the gameplay, but I gotta admit I' d be curious to see that plot point play out.

I think it's a good self contained story. I like sequels, but i'd rather Joel and Ellie be left behind. I think the ending was fairly bold, and perfect pretty much. You could tell the script had been revised a good number of times, deciding what would work, what wouldn't.
Would I have lied? Meh, probably not if I had the choice, but it wasn't my story, it was Joel's really. And Joel's a *******, he said he hung out with a group of raiders to begin with before giving up the life, done terrible things, and pretty much proved it in the end.
I saw the movie think. I don't know much of Neil Druckmann's work apart from Last of Us and Uncharted 2, so I can't tell how good the movie will be, but yeah, I hope it's good. Better yet, I hope it's not a copy paste job of the plot.

I magically gave them up. Their ethereal powers seeped from my fingertips, and I was left simply with the powers of the pink brigade.

Aw :( Well welcome to the pink family again!

Thanks. Kinda regret leaving, but I needed to. Hopefully pink suits me well again.

Good afternoon!

Oh! Will you still be visiting, though?

Still a member. Still here.
Not sure about talking about, might be disrespectful.

That's fine. Like I said, I respect your wishes.

Besides it' s not as if we were talking coke or pepsi, religion covers pretty darn important questions, why wouldn' t you want to know whether your beliefs are rationally justified ?

I am? Maybe online. There are more atheists on the net that preach more than religious people. I go with the underdog usually.
I said what now, a la la land? I suppose I might go defensive, like I said, underdog on the net. I suppose I also care about religion because it's a socially important aspect of our lives, psychology and history.
I feel people are dismissive of it as time goes on, see it as less relevant when I feel different.
It's not like I love all religions or religious ideas or texts. But I at least like they try to steer you towards something better even if some extremists subvert that.
Raitonality doesn't necessarily mean anything to me. My ideas and beliefs are full of contradictions, so many specific details that don't logically flow, but seem to work together.

Btw, i'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but hopefully i've answered it.

You did, thanks.

I could have done another clichéd choice of saying 'stopping Franz Ferdinand from being assassinated' thereby also stopping both WWs.
And the Nazi party wasn't formed till 1920, two years after the end of the first world war. It would've stopped WW2, but the first one would've still happened.
Nut thank you for the contribution of thought.

By nazis I pretty much meant Hitler, I' d say he qualified whether the word existed yet or not. Admitedly history has never been my strong suit.

If it was up to me I wouldn' t even change a thing. Wouldn' t want to risk making it worse or, you know, erase my future birth. Besides, hopefully we learn from our mistakes. At least the stupidity of extremism and the mechanisms of its rise in a democracy are better known by the public at large now, though I sometimes wonder if we know them enough.

Anyway, I' ll stick to making present history.

Watched a documentary on the 7 critical points in his life that made him Nazi German leader. Changing one of them would've changed a lot of life we have.

I may have said 'nothing' because I am mainly a 'here and now' sort of person in choices. But I thought Amethyst wanted a goo answer instead of a boring one. Not to mention I just hate those events, I'd willing wipe them off the history books.

I like experiencing or making history more than rewriting it.

It did a little. Thanks!

Now, make your location London, UK! :)

But mystery promotes conversation.

LOL

Good boy. Would you like a cookie?

I would've noticed eventually, btw. I'm alright, i'm full.

I just like messing with ya, PAW. c:
