Phi for All

I checked a few accounts, and it looks like both you and geordief can't use Status Updates. It's probably something you have checked off that limits other's ability to post on your page, including yourselves. It's not a newbie thing. I can post to other people's Status pages, but for yours and geordief's, those fields don't appear. I would make sure you haven't disabled this ability on your end, and I'll have an Admin take a look on the back end. Edit to add: if you Edit Profile, under your birthday is a toggle for enabling Status Updates. Make sure that's switched on.

That's not true. I read them, and then I think, should I do that? And then I don't. I just updated my status, and I'll put in a note with the Admins that not everybody sees the links in their profiles. On the home page, https://www.scienceforums.net/ , to the right side under Topics is a section called Recent Status Updates. Under that, my screen has a prompt that says "What's on your mind?" that lets me post a Status Update from there.

Try going here: https://www.scienceforums.net/profile/145388-existential-dreams/content/?type=core_statuses_status&change_section=1 Your content page has a Status Update section to the left. Click on that and it should let you post something to update your status.

On your profile page, under Achievements, there's a section that says, "Write a public message on your own feed...". I think that's where you update your status.

I think it is. I think the best analogy is a terminal geriatric cancer patient who isn't strong enough to survive the surgery that might save them. Without the Goof Troop, the GOP flatlines on the operating table.

I don't understand either your amazement or your perspective on this. To me, it's obvious he represents a block of voters they can't afford to lose. They may pick up some older voters by taking the high road, but I don't think their numbers are anywhere near what the Trumpets represent. The GOP already doesn't have the numbers to win a popular presidential vote, so sniffing at the deplorables sinks them forever.

As long as you're human, you're very welcome here. You get 5 posts on your first day (anti-bot measure), so don't think we're blocking you. Glad to have you and hope to see you tomorrow.

Why does this sound so familiar? Oh, right, the Intelligent Design argument, teach the controversy.

Make the Swamp Great Again!

Lukashenko is clinging to power the way Trump did, and for the same reasons. Both face prosecution by the courts when they're no longer president and their immunities are stripped from them. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ten-belarusians-file-criminal-case-against-lukashenko-germany-2021-05-05/

A man with one of the worst human rights violation records on the planet. He forces the disappearance of those who stand against him. He doesn't allow the populace to be surveyed or polled on their opinions on the government. Do you like him because you're afraid, or because you're like him?

I think that's what Putin wants people to think, so it worked on you. Has NATO ever attacked Russia? They've been pretty communicative over the last 30 years, and not once has NATO been the aggressor. It's NOT there to attack Russia, it's there to stop them from doing to NATO countries what Russia is doing to Ukraine. I admire NATO for what they're really there for, but you admire Putin for the lies he tells about them. Interesting. You can take people's word, or you can look at the history of NATO and the detente they've provided since 1949. It's weird that you think NATO is behaving like Hitler. Is your part of this discussion done now?

Do you have any evidence that NATO or Ukraine was interested in invading Russia? Otherwise, this seems like you and Putin are begging the question.

To me, reason is inherent to my thought process and I've exercised it like a muscle my whole life and watched it grow stronger. Logic is a formal set of rules to help us validate our reasoning.

Actually, in Texas women and officials are recognizing that evacuation of a miscarriage is the same procedure as an abortion, using a couple of the same drugs that are being banned. Women are being denied treatment for miscarriage even though it's not an abortion. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/05/10/1097734167/in-texas-abortion-laws-inhibit-care-for-miscarriages

Are you serious? Have you read what he said to them? It's unbelievable to me that you could even question it at this point. Earlier, he told the crowd they have to "fight much harder" against "bad people" and "show strength" at the Capitol. What the hell do you think that means given he knew the crowd was already armed, and that he had Proud Boys who'd already committed to taking Pence out?

It's not a matter of logic or competition at all. If we're talking about the latest greatest explanation for time, then it's seen as a dimension, a temporal dimension where length, width, and height are spatial dimensions. The four of those are a continuum that allow us to describe various phenomena in terms of their location in the universe. The predictive power and elegance of modeling the universe this way is immense, and allows us to successfully land vessels on other bodies in the solar system, which is like hitting a bullseye on a moving dartboard while you yourself are running full tilt.

But this is exactly what he did with his speech that morning, and is now hiding behind outlandish interpretations of what he said. He got them to do his dirty work using language that gave him weasel room to deny it later. And the plan was to have the military seize voting machines on the pretense of foreign manipulation, so if he can't get Pence to verify that, having the mob kill the VP and stop the count ensures that he gets little pushback when the military takes over. It's looking more and more like those magnetometers and the Capitol Police saved the democracy, for a while at least.

He wanted them rabid, wanted them armed, and wanted them to have access to the Capitol. Even a stupid puppeteer knows an armed mob shouting for a hanging isn't looking for mere coercion. The Proud Boys were set to kill him if they found him, according to informants.

I'd be willing to bet those are the texts about when Trump ordered the driver to the Capitol, and tried to grab the wheel of the car. The overall impression I'm getting is that the conspirators had a plan to use fake electors after they forced Pence to announce that the count would be decided by the states, and when Pence didn't play ball, Trump sent the mob to the Capitol to kill him. Secret Service knows but has a code of silence.

While everybody else was learning one set of definitions, you spent the time coming up with different ones. Maybe it isn't dyslexia, maybe you just need to read the books and study them instead of making all this up on your own. You might learn that the sun is NOT "a static point" that defines time, and that the opposite of zero is not infinity and every other number. And you'll see how to start an explanation with small steps that can be easily digested by your audience, instead of turning on the fire hose and forcing them to drink every wild notion that pops into your head about everything all at once.

Forget about time travel for a moment. Are you saying time itself doesn't exist because it has no medium to travel through? Doesn't a spacetime continuum account for that? How does light travel without a medium?

You're very welcome. You're being kind. After all, before you write a manuscript, you're apparently able to bear in mind ALL the assumptions, ALL the facts, and ALL the things you can AND can't define. You're amazing! Thanks again, truly. Making an effort to be understood is always worth it.

I stopped reading less than halfway through. This is worthless to anyone but you. If you're trying to persuade someone, you should think about format, and not just throw up whatever's making your tummy hurt.
