      yeah i was wondering which is more important and when for biology vs culture.

      i think its mostly culture considering how amazons and such existed before. And modern amazons, the radical feminist lol.

      ...Uh... Well, I think its based more on personality types & how one was raised. If you're more libel to be the emotional sort, you may be more prone to liking romance. I'm a guy & I kinda like a bit of a romantic bent. 'course, its pretty rare to find romance these days that isn't drenched in either drama or sex.

      To be fair this was a biased question, I didn't say 'why or why not?' So of course the people who reply presume that its true rather than disagree with the idea. Then again some stereotypes are based on fact.

  2. Protests from anarchists during Trump's inauguration. Idk why anarchists think a society without tax would be a good idea (gov free) because schools police and more help people constantly. Half of them prolly just wanted a rush. Considering the anti-racist sign they could be sjws.

      My mom stopped going to a certain gas station in my county because people from India bought it out, despite them running the place better than any company before them. Racism here is probably more common than we normally see. I just hope Trump doesn't fuel that.

      There's a family where I live that own an inn. They're from India, and apparently they've been getting less business lately. I wonder if it's related to Trump.

      I really ought look more into learning how to play that. If nothing else than to use all them cards I keep stockpiling!

      R u sure its you stockpiling and not me? lol

    This is cute

    According to rageaholic this guy is probably a lier, which means this story likely has some lies of omission, like them telling the kids to experiment directly, they never came up with it on their own.
  5. im thinking shadow people, may be a psychological effect of phantom sensation/astral projection of the hind-brain/subconscious/thirdbrain/reptilianbrain, because astral projection psychologically speaking involves generating a detached phantom sensation body.

      Do you think that would be the same reason you get crazy visions with sleep paralysis?

    2. Lil Pip

      Lil Pip

      Its related in the sense that parts of the brain are off that wouldn't be off during the day, and perhaps some parts are more active that usually are not. Sleep paralysis happens more to certain types of people, I forget somewhat so I am going to suggest googling it if you are curious. Also google hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, which it is related to. But trance mindsets are likely similar.

      Well, I'd say it isn't too hard to trigger a real vivid hallucination. Any number of chemicals can do that, and most mortal beings are basically delicately balanced vats of chemicals anyway. Your brain just decides to make just an infinitesimally larger amount of one hormone & it could throw so many other things out of whack. Heckadarn, just believing in that illusion the right way could make the vision even more vivid. Even down to actually feeling what isn't there.

  6. You sure, I just googled it and couldn't find it, it isn't a fan made card is it? Oh nvm found it.
  7. I like SugarCoat Some of how I act online is like her lol.
  8. Ghosts would be great, get a bunch of cuddly lady ghosts to hang out at night lol.
  9. The brown box. Pixels can't be so entertaining lol. Granted it helped set games into the future which is worth something.
  10. Lets just presume that, the afterlife is whatever people last focus on before they die. Their spirit or soul gets launched in the direction of their final thoughts, in a fractal-like pattern directly related to your last thoughts. What do you want to think about before you die, and where and which pattern of experience or feeling do you want to travel through for the rest of eternity?
  11. Nightmare Star? Did that happen in the comics or is it a fan thing? If it happened in the comics, I should be looking them up some more lol
  12. How do you know its spiritual, when it could be mis-understanding? How do you know its ectoplasm, if it was, surely it'd be a documentable tangible physical substance. The premise of presuming that ectoplasm simply vanishes for scientists, along with all other paranormal activity, is too suspicious and convenient and unproven of an argument. It is far more easy to understand it through the psychological perspective. And thats not even counting paranormal scams and jokes. Some sisters before got alot of attention for claiming paranormal activity, when they were really the ones making their fam paranoid before and didn't admit it til they were older. Green slime might have other causes, perhaps it wasn't slime at all but a light from near a window or such. It could've been hair gel. In fact saying its unknowable, as a knowable fact is paradoxical, and contradicts reality. You never tested it, so you can't say it was ectoplasm. If it disappeared maybe it was a prank or lie and someone cleaned it up after, or the source of light causing it to seem to be there ceased. There are multiple explanations, including memory failure and such. Besides, what would the motive of spirits or such be, which are unproven, to make ectoplasm vanish? You might think they'd want attention, not just scaring people then going into hiding. Also due to hypnosis things like seances actually can get people to have group delusions from a single suggestion. Also in seances people move left n right sometimes, their movement can shake a house if done in a specific location so loose paintings or books fall off of stands or such, and because you were all swaying left n right at the same time in a trance you don't even notice the effect it may be having on the room, a room possibly designed to easily have books fall off of shelves from vibrations. Its far too presumptuous for my tastes. I used to try researching this stuff too, for science. Then eventually I found out about fallacies, and I was making assumptions. Like maybe ghosts can be explained like this, Thus ghosts are real and I will assume that is how they manifest. Rather than checking it against pools of empirical evidence. Also haunted locations can be debunked from paranoid travels in an unlit building, alot of people are afraid of the dark, not only that, pareidolia explains anything people think they see, when it could be the wind blew a curtain because theres a crack in the glass behind it, it being an abandoned unkempt building. Also electromagnetism in large enough fields can cause the mind to feel a sense of panic or such, and poor air circulation causes nose blockages, due to dusty abandoned buildings, which reduces intakes of air from the nostrils, which prevents air circulation in the upper back of the throat leading into the sinuses and such, which studies have associated with schizophrenics, which high stomach acid from unhealthy diets can also do due to gasses produced from the stomach. Also at night and sleep deprived people are more likely to hallucinate, combined that with pareidolia and fear of the dark, its really too high of a likeliness that its not actually a supernatural event. I researched it lots before. So far it seems like people just assume, and thats all you can do if no evidence exists. But then theres no reason to believe it if it never truly manifests, and anything that manifests can be studied empirically by eliciting another manifestation. Also clever engineers/architects can create 'haunted' rooms. And seances and similar spiritual activities are just like hypnosis because it has similar techniques, it has suggestions, it has controlled breathing, sitting down, relaxing, group activity so people subconsciously sync their breathing, it all helps trigger slower brainwaves, associated with dreaming and hypnosis. Then it takes just one person panicking to turn it into a paranormal scenario. Which is how Ouija boards also work kind of. Like a type of paranoid pareidolia-esque confirmation bias. Even trying to listen in a room with no noise is unsettling, and if you do have noise when someone shuffles about its easier to mishear what is going on, and when you are distracted its also easier to mishear something. And if people are paranoid random unexplained noises are more likely to scare individuals. One scared person with a bunch of suggestible people means a bunch of scared people.

      well they made a good counter point, there are ALOT of shops accross the country, to buy them all to cause it to inflate would require spending thousands, Then take forever to sell.

      And each store likely has veritable crates worth in the back. I know Wal-Mart makes a point of opening up their yugioh packs & repackaging them as random assortments.

      Yeah even on their walmart site they sell singles for the more expensive stuff, sorta gives it away.

  14. This is based on what I know so take it with a grain of salt, and what I notice in other's behaviors, but it is by no means a complete overview. 1. Memorization. 2. Association 3. Comprehension Memorization, uninspiring, sorta lame unless you are personally vested into the topic, which you can trick yourself into doing by asking yourself 'What do I want to know?' Then being motivated is easy peasy. Associative learning is the most magical, and its the easiest to be incorrect about and the most superstitious, what you know is more up for grabs. Its like, a dog hearing a whistle, then knowing food should be in their food dish now, because its how they were trained. This is a step past memorization though because it is more intrinsically rewarding and its different from memorization tho is rather similar. Its like how students can recall information in classrooms easier than outdoors, that is association. Or its how people see a bad omen and get paranoid and throw blessed salt on their home's entrances. Which actually can be triggered from electromagnetic fields and stuff, so people might just feel a biological need to get away, then they are confused why and the first half reasonable thing they think of- its demons!- is what they focus on and try to solve the problem for. It is related to phobias of all sorts, and usually is dictated by the reptilian brain in 3 brain theory (logic>emotion>instinct or vice versa, instinct is the closest to the brain stem the hind-brain, which is usually in the visceral [primitive or instinctual or such] enjoyment category or fight or flight response sorta part of the brain. Some biological situations can induce similar feelings.) and its also basically like muscle memory. Muscle memory is like, you have washed dishes so many times you can do it while distracted by a tv in front of you while chewing gum etc, its just so easy from repetition thats muscle memory. Why I say muscle memory is similar is because strong associative things, like PTSD which can trigger people, is based on associated stimuli and is usually related to fight or flight, it is not always though but its usually easier for the Id of psychology (Id Ego and Superego) to do such a thing. But I very well could just be assuming based on tangential or second-hand information. Comprehension is the best of course, because it is like a step beyond associative or memorization. Its theoretical and practical, not presumptuous like associative can be. Theoretical speculation can lead to incorrect associative learning tho, so there is a proper method to deducing which usually involves skepticism of the stances with a process of elimination as one way of fact checking. This can be wrong though if one ignores the consequences to their actions. Consequence is what tells us about if we are doing something wrong or not, also it requires caution to properly find out instead of prematurely concluding. All three types are flawed. Memorization you don't usually have the time to question if the context is true, then you can make some false conclusions. Associative is good for some experiments or incidental experiments, like you ate some food that made you sick, what was the recent new food you tried that might be doing it? Granted that is comprehensive and associative in that example not just associative. The other flaw with associative being culture shock for one realistic example. It turns out how people behave may be culturally different, and this can cause the brain to have a minor meltdown sort of deal, hence culture shock, your brain recognizes alot of its information is not valid, and might even be preparing to rewire your brain to learn more at the expense of temporary ease of functioning while it tries to recognize subconsciously exactly how much you might need to relearn. Then the flaw with comprehensive is its nearly impossible to recognize all factors in a problem at once. Individuals have limits, teamwork is rather good. Our working memory can only store so much data, so if you do not combine some memorization and associative, you won't be as prepared. You need to be thoroughly learned. This also benefits from having an interest in the material being learned, and helps with hands on practice. Benefits: Memorization: You don't need to actually understand the material to get a passing grade or look smart. And it helps to be thorough. Associative: Helps if you already are doing something right and you need repetition, you can just do the same thing again and again and not mess it up, muscle memory basically. It is also used for memory tricks like memory palaces. What you do is imagine stuff that really weird, but disctinctly unique to the thing you want to remember, and primarily related to what you are trying to recall. So say you want to remember to do dishes in the morning, you can imagine a standard rooster cockadoodledoo, and the rooster is in the kitchen sink, trapped in a maze of dishes and you need to help get it out or something bad will happen (sorta sounds like a weird dream scenario right lol) or if you prefer the optimistic outlook you can recall it like, its a super buff rooster, and the rooster wants you to wash the dishes, and flex with it. And thats fun(if you played Undertale or like weird stuff at least lol), so you will try to remember to do that for tomorrow morning lol. And because its so weird, and specific you will probably remember it anyways. Or if you wanna do it more normally just remember the morning atmosphere and how washing dishes is, and then associate that with yourself waking up from your waking up perspective, and associate it with the dishes you will use for breakfast the next day or such, or your shoes are similarly shaped to bowls, so you try and make it associated with a bowl so when you see it you remember, ah, dishes. Comprehensive: Well, if you understand something you understand something, just know what you don't know to prevent assumptions, or at least come up with a decently deductive method, or you might end up doing confirmation bias and always assuming you know better because of your experience and knowledge. Then next thing you know scientists say pluto isn't a planet, and you don't agree with them, but everyone else does. Then its like a everyone is wrong but me sorta deal, when really you are wrong, and at least admit you might be wrong and go see why they stopped calling it a planet. Also its just more practical. Like, how do I make a wheelchair out of just wood? You don't just associate, tho that can help fill in the blanks, it won't help you plan it out entirely in detail, thats what the comprehensive knowledge is there for. You know things need plans, and you can watch tutorials or such to understand it before working on it. But even then, if you do the right things in the right order you can still make a wooden wheelchair without comprehending how to use wood to make something in a future project, in which case its memorization not comprehensive. Let me know how easy this topic was, and if you knew it already or not, so I can get some measure of how reasonable/realistic I am being, with respect to the audience.
  15. Going crazy on spending for on sale items lol. x3 So giddy/happy. I usually don't spend, but sometimes when I do it just snowballs lol. Slope is actually slippery. I had good reason for the purchases but, my brain is still in slight panic over the opportunity cost loss. Yuh, weird brain.

      Eh, its toys. I can't see how it would involve homophobia. Toys are an ageless thing IMO, not every guy will have the know-how to work on cars!

      People like to think Brony = homosexual. Apart from the stereotype, I'd agree there's no correlation.

      Its the card game, I just found 36 pack booster boxes being sold for like 1/3 the price. So I spent a couple hundred dollars http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/36500000/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-image-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-36553727-398-330.gif

      There's also Nier Autonoma(sp?) and Persona 5 coming out soon, as well as Tales of Berseria coming out in a week. Both of them seem very fun if the demos were anything to go by

      I haven't tried persona games yet. These 3 idk anything about, the other 3 I know enough about to know how they play. I will google some I guess.

  17. I would wish for extremely powerful and diverse/flexible magical powers.

      Yeah, I was lucky enough to just buy it on recommendation of others who were obsessing over the game. I looked at steam, didn't look like much to me, but I gave it a try anyways lol. After I was defeated from Omega Flowey I had to google to see if he was defeatable, and thought it was my punishment for killing Toriel accidentally, twice. Flowey was so mean to me lol.

  20. Depends how public it is and my current social aptitude, which does vary.
  21. Eyebrow twitch, biting lip. NO. Not this. Too much pain in this cringe. Brain is telling me its social suicide, with its negative reinforcement. AHHHHH~ lol. *raiders of the lost ark face melt*
  22. Of those listed: Twi 72% Luna 20% Flutters 8% Of those not listed: Moondancer 44% Spike 36% Time Turner 20% Overall: I would probably split myself amongst ten ponies. Twi 14% Luna 15% Moondancer 18% Spike 16% Starlight 2% Time Turner 8% Maneiac 5% Limestone 7% Maud 4% Marble Pie 11% If I could choose a pony I wanted to be more like it'd be Pinkie and Cheerful Luna and TreeHugger (being mellow is nice, instead I got some Limestone and Spike lol) Oops forgot I am slightly like Cheerilee too, oh well.
  23. Worked out like 6 days in a row, had peanutbutter jelly sandwiches, now I am super tired. I have a few guesses, dehydration, sat fats, just need a break. But now I don't feel like doing anything.

  24. It'd be this but ponified similarly to Pinkie's rap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4QbJRAWvRU
