    Beginning friendships - mutual initiation, or not??

    You can actually approach a person yourself, and still be functional, and actually initiate a conversation? That is far beyond my experience.

    Genuine Instructions Vs Joking

    Let me translate "You were supposed to do something you were never told how to do, therefore it is obviously your fault." Been there.

    Genuine Instructions Vs Joking

    I have experienced this many times. It seems to be a form of friendly (as opposed to unfriendly) sarcasm. Personally, I can't tell the difference. All I can do is understand the words as they are spoken (much like many of us).

    What do you think of fan fiction?

    What I have seen ranged from good to bad, but is almost always sincere and faithful to the original. Sometimes it can be a major work as good as the original. One example I can think of is Nicholas Meyer's Seven Percent Solution. It became extremely popular and was made into a movie. Can...

    How do you prefer to watch your anime?

    I prefer to watch anime by switching off the TV and picking up a good book. I rarely watch it except when my son was a child and we watched children's versions.

    I just made my mother cry.

    Congratulations!! You would never have said this a year ago. Your mother is the type that needs control, and her not being able to control you is a shock and hurting her. She is feeling some of the loss of control you used to feel. The intensity of this makes me suspect she is into the...

    what is happening to 3I Atlas?

    NASA is shut down due to lack of funding, just like almost every other government agency. Tracking and analyzing 2I/ATLAS is not the job of NASA in any case. That is the job of university astronomy organizations. NASA simply reports what they release. Much of the latest work was done by...

    Have any of used this website for a while but made no friends here?

    You seem to have answered your own question. Perhaps if you participated more and you would meet more people. This is not a friendship site, it is a support site. There are a number of people here I have gotten to know and respect, as close to friends as I can get. Actually, this has been...

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    It all depends on who trains the AI. If trained by military or politicians, "fairly" becomes moot. There is a good possibility that there will be no need for military hardware because there will not be enough people left for military hardware, except perhaps locally. Yes, I am a cynic.

    what is happening to 3I Atlas?

    Things seem to be in a decided state of flux. Translation: nobody has a clue just what the hell is going on. The latest seems to be that the pieces might be best described as "shards," pieced that broke of from the main body. One thing everyone appears to agree on is that this is not a comet...

    what is happening to 3I Atlas?

    The breakup just after perihelion (closest point to the Sun) tells us a lot. Spaceships do not break apart under those conditions. The spectra showing large amounts of iron and nickle, with little water or carbon dioxide, indicates this was a metallic asteroid, similar to asteroid 16 Psyche...

    Self loathing.

    Over the years here, we have watched you beat drugs, alcohol, and (for the most part) the slavery your family had induced onto you. You have demonstrated you have the willpower to beat them. Internal addictions may be the hardest of all to defeat, but I, for one, am rooting for you, and I know...

    That Time of Year Again

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but just a day or two ago, didn't you say you had nothing to contribute? Looks like a pretty good contribution to me. More than a lot of people. And spending it away from your blood ties sounds like a pretty good contribution to yourself.

    Self loathing.

    You ARE a worthwhile human being. You have contributed much to this forum. Your movie critic web site, even if it is no longer operational (you really should get going on getting that back up), was a contribution to society. You DO have substance to offer.
