It was meant to make you think about the privilege you have and where it comes from; for instance, I'm guessing, from your profile and posting history, that you're a homeowner; who did you buy it off since property is theft. If you go back far enough, the original owner was an ax wielding maniac who planted a flag in the mud and said "this is my bit", and planted the ax between the eye's of any decenter. And if you're lucky enough to have a second home, that a squatter has planted his flag in, you'll be the first to reach for the metaphorical ax. FTFY

What is a true Scotsman? Turin also asked, how could we tell? The machine he predicted is general AI, AI as we know it, is a 'potential' baby GAI, or as the late great Douglas Adams would say "42"

Ye, mea culpa, sorry about that, I was bored (if truth be told); but OTOH it does kinda illustrate the sort of trivia that can start war's. This one included...

I was going to let this, less than gracious concession, go; but then your friend gave it a lil green 1, and I'm WTF. The implication seems to be, I'll say this to placate the fool; who asks questions I can't answer... So my question to your like happy friend is, what's up with that/please explain yourself?

Not what I said. "Seems only fair that you, at least, share some of that privilege". Something like, you suffer a slight inconvenience in your level of comfort, so that the current victims of said crime, suffer a little less. By crime I mean pretty much any/every crime committed by, or on behalf of, a head of state, in the last 4,000 year's. The moral definition of criminal is nebulous, it depends on how much you want need it; and how many convincing excuses you can come up with, that show why your want is actually a need... 😉

Doctor Who knows how to taste for it, but then it gets all wibbly-wobbly...

That depends, are you benefitting from that crime while the victim's are still suffering? Seems only fair that you, at least, share some of that privilege. Nazi crimes were committed because, the then modern Germans felt they were entitled to the proceeds of their dad's crime.

Yes, don't you get your own? I asked a legitimate question, in both metaphore-ia and reality; IOW how are you going to kill Putin? You don't really kill a virus, you keep on defending untill it runs out of ammo. Not sure what your friend was giving you lil green 1's for... 🙄

Can you kill a virus?

As well as, what?

The bright side of being sick, is when it stops. 😉

Do you actually believe what you've written in this thread? I can understand the excuse, if you were in Putin's pocket, but what do you have to gain from vomiting up this bullshit; I hate being sick at the best of times, but if it tasted of shit as well, then I gots to get paid... 🤢 🤑

Really? I hate purple, but I love Prince... 😉 I love you too, man; but green is my favourite colour...

Intellect, as an answer is akin to me banging my head against a wall: You> A car is not the correct way to travel. Me> What is? You> A van. 😣 BTW thank you for correcting my joke, thus rendering it not funny... 🙄

No one deserves an easy life. You haven't discovered anything yet; forgive them and feel the peace instead. A little humility often helps to see the path; much like carrot's help you see in the dark... 😉

Agreed, Not sure I do, what measurement do you mean? Logical, emotional, mathematical, philosophical, dancing queen/ical etc. His IQ could have been 42, the universal constant, that the mice would never need to know.

No, it doesn't matter; but as Feynman would have said "it is interesting". 😉

What is?

But know this, if a certified woman beats a certified man, we have rules that clearly state, that that can't happen, sorry 🙏.

They need only fear the avatar, when we're playing poker It's not the drug they use, that's the issue, it's that they are taking them for a reason; and that reason is often depressing.

People who want to commit suicide, are afraid of pain not death... 🙄

It's never simple, they're so difficult to tell apart...😉

Well, it's certainly muddied the warters, to the point where it's difficult to tell them apart; so, let's try a post hoc system...

Sometimes absolutes are necessary, for those who are unable to understand the nuances of life; for instance, from time to time we all get sad and not want to 'be', and if I've got access to a gun it's easy to make the wrong decision; if society deems a gun/suicide to be evil and have consequences after death, then suicide becomes difficult today and gives one a chance to think about it again, in a better mood.
