Narf the Mouse Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings I've been up for almost 3 hours already. Including an hour long walk in the rain where I discovered my water resistant backpack was not completely water safe. Not a big deal I don't think. Too early. They never are.

Klytus Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think he's taking too much credit. It [battlefield Earth] still wasn't as bad as say... Plan 9. Dude, the movie "won" the Razzie Award for worst film of the decade. He isn't "taking" too much credit - he's owning up to the damage he's done.

SteveZilla Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings True. But I didn't say he was completely faultless, either. There is a bit of difference between a decade and *ever*. It was bad enough for it to be shown at DragonCon several years ago -- in the MST3K track as an "audience participation" event.

Narf the Mouse Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings Have you ever encountered an animal that isn't your pet, yet it is unusually friendly with you? And it seems sad when you leave. Do you suppose pets are reincarnated? Pets react to different people differently. Our cat, who is paranoid and people-phobic, has treated two people without the slightest ounce of fear: A friend of ours who's just a completely inoffensive guy and my bushman uncle, who considers panning for gold "up north" a vacation. Everyone else, including us at times, is treated like a walking hand grenade - Anything the slightest bit different or worrisome and she's either retreating or vanished.

Well, if Karma and reincarnation are the Real Deal™, then it is assumed as a given that people can come back as animals or pets to work off their bad karma. Makes sense, then, that the soul of any given pet could come back as yet another pet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings When I was still a child, I once tried to remember the first thing I experienced. It was going into my room one sunny afternoon. Try as I might, I couldn't remember anything I did before that. That could only mean one thing: I popped into existence one day. A few years later, my mother took me along when she went about her errands. I remember going to the bank and several shops. That night, I remembered all the places we went to, but I just couldn't remember the trip home. I didn't even remember arriving home. This made me wonder if I was the real me, or if the real me had gotten lost, and I popped into existence to take his (my?) place. Now there's no reason to believe this pattern would simply stop. In fact, it's only logical that it would continue at random intervals. Of course, this is probably the product of a deranged mind, but it would explain why I haven't been feeling quite like myself lately. Odd that I've been thinking about memory recently as well. Over last weekend I visited with friends from college and a friend that I knew from the 4th grade. I could remember stuff happening from college, but only small bits of memory from before. More feelings than actual memories, and most of those were fragments. With me, I think it's because I actively suppressed a lot of my childhood. Though I suppose I could of been replaced and the memory transfer was incomplete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klytus Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings Have you ever misplaced something, yet clearly remember where you last had/placed it? Then after searching only to find it someplace else and having no memory of putting it there? I have a (likely wild) theory that there are multiple copies of this world, each in it's own dimension (timeline?), and each is just a tiny bit different (nothing new with that). But that due to some large-scale "Uncertainty Effect", matter/objects (including a person) can sometimes "jump" (swap places, actually) from one world/timeline to another. So your memory of leaving the keys in the kitchen despite finding them in the bedroom (and living alone) isn't false. Either the keys (or you) "jumped tracks" to a parallel world. One where you *did* leave the keys in the bedroom. Our existence could be "fuzzy" in a higher-than-3-dimensional-sense and we just don't have the ability or tools to detect this*. Possibly most shifts go completely unnoticed because the change is either so minuscule as to be irrelevant, or one that is outside of one's domain (i.e., doesn't affect us). *Yes, I realize this makes it hard-to-impossible to test/falsify. I did say it was likely wild. But then so was Special Relativity until it was confirmed. Too complicated. If we apply Occam's razor, it is far easier to believe that ghosts, sprites and/or other mischievous entities move things when we're not looking to deliberately mess with or minds. At least... it's easier for me to believe that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemming Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Re: Musings on Random Musings Fine to do laundry and other stuff at those times, if they don't bother the people trying to sleep. I used to do laundry at all sorts of times in the Portland house, but the laundry was in the basement, and the bedroom was on the second. Little chance of waking anyone then.

Well, it's perfectly understandable. A hard night of smoking, drinking, and partying leaves all kinds of stains, odors, and germs on your clothes that you will want to get rid of without anyone noticing. What?
