If someone is denying the moon landing, I doubt pointing out the mechanics of dust particles in low-g environments will do the trick.

The strongest evidence is the fact that modern equipment can see the actual tracks the A11 astronauts left while hiking and driving on the moon.

If that’s not enough, it’s probably best to drop the matter. You can’t use evidence to convince someone who does not want to be convinced.

I know feeling the sun is pure bliss after a long winter. It's astounding how universal this experience is, as if there's a biological reason for it. One of the ways it's amazing to me is that it's a feeling you can imagine sharing with practically at some moment with every other human being in history. Regardless of their location, status, or moment in time; it's a common part of humanity (possibly even with some types of animals).

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for this.

He’s wishy washy on the scientific method, not because he doesn’t understand it but because he believes it’s wrong (or at least incomplete)

We’ve spoken about this on several occasions and either his arguments make no sense or I’m genuinely too dumb to get them.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment.

I wonder if the scarcity of these moments adds to their value.

I'm not in favor of self-denying ourselves these special moments when we can, but, as someone who has been unemployed, I feel a big difference in doing whatever you want because you choose to as opposed to because there's nothing else to do.

The modern workplace has become a chore, and while I know it's not realistic or practical to "do what you love", it is a bit sad to think the modern workplace is more a chore necessary for survival rather than a natural activity endowed with meaning on its own terms. At least, in my case.

Thank you for sharing.

Marxism as a hobby?

Well, we care. That’s why I asked. It’s just that some people are certain about they position on this and refuse to back it up.

And of course it’s fun, I’ll happily suspend belief for 90 minutes to allow me to be creeped out by a good ghost movie, but that ends when the credits start rolling.

Ahoy, matey!

Get in the Catholic Church. Bribe, cheat and blackmail my way into being a bishop. Borgia my way into the papacy. Surround myself with loyalists and on my first Urbe et Orbi just be like: “Psych! ‘‘Twas all a big fat lie. God isn’t real and we’re all rapists!!!. FU all!!”

By then I have obviously put the entire Vatican archive on Wikileaks and signed the entirely of church land and property and property over to local NGOs.

se me antojaron una flautas de pollito bien crujientes leyendo tu comentario…

Tal vez me haga unas al rato..

Just piggybacking on this thread: Is there any place to try out skydiving in or near Winnipeg?

Serious question: what can we do about this?

Satan’s on the phone, he’s looking for someone to brainstorm with…

You’re lucky, buy it in cash and you get Venezuela half off.

Also, we have a great deal on US rust belt states, if you’re interested…

But I can save money on potato chips now and donate the spare change to conservation /s

Look at goody two-shoes over here!

Start strategically: just buy your way into overturning money in politics. Fire with fire baby!!!

The question is: donate to whom?

Thank you for the genuinely good advice, but I think it’s missing the point.

I’m not referring to depression or missing fiber in my diet; I’m referring to a specific meta-awareness of one’s emotional state. I tried to discuss a phenomenological discussion, not a physiological condition.

Have you experienced something like this?
