Random Thought of the Day

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's what late stage Alzheimer's is like.

I read you can keep Alzheimer's patients from wandering out doors just by putting down a dark rug. Unconfirmed theory suggests they see a hole, and instinctively still know not to step forward.

That's how cattle guards work.

Breaking in new shoes is more a process of callusing the feet than softening the leather. I'm sure that's a profound metaphor for something, but I'm not poetic enough to figure it out.

I think over the years I've moved more into this position.

Quote:

An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist. The existence of god(s) is not rejected, but may be designated irrelevant.[3]

Scientist and philosopher Ian von Hegner has argued that apatheism is an alternative to positions such as theism, atheism, and agnosticism, with implications that have been overlooked in modern philosophical discussions.

Except when events or public policy interrupt it anyway as they do once in awhile.

I don't see a whit of difference between the
two. Neither believe in gods, anything after
that, as far as your attitude goes, is irrelevant.

"The apatheistic argument states that morals do not come from god and that if a god exists there would be no changes with regards to morality, therefore a god's existence or non-existence is irrelevant."

Aren't you the guy that when Mike sold
his business, you went and deleted the
thousands of posts you'd made up to
that point, and then later denied doing
it, saying it was a glitch or a hack or
something? It must have taken weeks
to delete that many posts.

It was so odd that you had vocally freaked
out over the sale, predicting dire things
because the posts would be used against
us, then you 'cooincidentally' get hacked
by a foe who magically deletes all your
posts. Odd indeed..

something that is bugging me is that I see a lot of use of the asterisk that seems to hail back to the old usage* where an asterisk in the text connected to another asterisk that was a footnote. Sometimes a different symbol was used, or numbers, but never did you see such without it connecting to something else. Now, today, there often is just the asterisk, but no connecting footnote. Is this ignorance or what is it? I sometimes see it in disclaimers and things you have to agree to in order to use a product. But the asterisk connects to nothing.

*like this

Did you try multiplying two terms?
