Ask an atheist

[GoranZ]

Symmetry do you eat pork? Don't tell that you are vegan, nobody will believe you

[tzor]

What would you like to talk about?

Are you positive or negative?

(And yes that is a real question, I suspect a real atheist would know the terms at least be honest about it.)

I'd also like to talk about why the damn word breaks the "i before e" rule.

[mrswdk]

Are you positive or negative?

Homophobe.

Because the i is part of the suffix, not part of the root.

what was first, the chicken or the egg?

The question is which came first the chicken or the egg? The chicken of course, it could wing it......

Where has Bernie been? He dead?

I think he was caught in a police sting in frisco targeting abusive Johns in the Tenderloin district.......

It was actually in the TenderNob district, which is Terderloin adjacent.

Could well have been in the SensitiveSak precinct. Someone with his well known penchant for ball clamps, trussing, friction torture, and wet leather/hair dryer/salt treatment, would not feel out of place there.

do you believe in the afterlife?

[TA1LGUNN3R]

Do you believe in nietzsche?

i doubt Symmetry has read Nietzsche. Too crazy for him. He would read Kierkegaard for his existentialist diet.

If you were up on stage in front of everyone you knew would you rather dance to Ketchup Girls' Ketchup Song or Agadoo?

That's weird- I literally schooled you in chat about Nietzsche a few days ago- you didn't know that he wrote "Beyond Good and Evil". Is this an alternative facts thing?

I've read stuff by Kierkegaard too, sure, but I don't find him all that interesting.

[riskllama]

i like the ask Bogan thread better - it has pizza.

[nietzsche]

kierkegaard is not boring, he's much more interesting than Nietzsche imo.

And i do recall you saying something, which i made a joke about, and then you said something about the beyond good an evil book. If i had a dime for every single time i've got stared for being in the wrong side of town for every time someone has said something "clever" about nietzsche while i'm on chat..

I read thus spoke zarathustra, beyond good and evil and on the genealogy of morals, bits of ecce homo, the gaya science, human all too human, the antichrist. i think have all the most important books in spanish, and then bought a couple in english because trying to read philosophy in two languages is immensely difficult, specially for me that had no previous knowledge. i also read the basic writings of Nietzsche, i think i read bits of the birth of tragedy there and the second part which is a collection of aphorisms from all his books. every so often i go back and read a bit from one book or another. there's something about Nietzsche, his writings are intoxicating, exhilarating maybe, they make you feel like you can fly and i used to read him drinking coffee, like 3 espressos and 2 filter coffees per day. I had to stop.

I don't believe in anyone who recommends movies, but refuses to watch anything that has animation in it. He's in the category of people who won't watch anything in black and white, and people who won't watch anything with subtitles.

Apart from that, and being a bit of a delicate boy, he's alright by me.

[nietzsche]

there was this movie.. it was anime i think or maybe something else but it was certainly japanesse animation. the fucking geeks of my department (when i worked as a programmer) wanted me to watch it.. they insisted and insisted, that it was supposed to be great and what not. eventually i did. fucking shit. ghost in the machine i think it was the tittle, it just came to me.

bullshit.

ah but, waking life was good.

Ghost in the Shell, probably- being/been remade actually, kinda controversially into a live action Hollywood movie out soon. It's a decent film, but not really the kind of thing I was recommending for you.

That was Millennium Actress and Waltz with Bashir. The first is anime, but not ninja and robot stuff. The second, an Israeli documentary (kinda). Sorry you got burned for the entire style- at least with Waking Life you can kind of see the possibilities in the form (Don't bother with A Scanner Darkly though).

what's waltz w/ bashir all about? i remember wanting to watch it, but forgot all about it...

[Symmetry]

It's a former Israeli soldier who is talking about his experiences from his time during the Lebanon War. He can't remember the details, but has nightmares about it, so he talks to some of the people he served with. The whole thing is animated, but based on his interviews and dreams.

It's beautiful, and very chilling.

[riskllama]

shit. seen it...

[2dimes]

You don't even like pizza.

[riskllama]

do so.

[2dimes]

From vlasis?

[riskllama]

sounds familiar. where is it, exactly? i am a volos guy, tho.

[2dimes]

Yeah Volos. So you like pepperoni and mushroom pizza from Volos? That's not the same as liking pizza.

Vlasis was in that mall they tore down on 64thave NW behind the Esso to build the old folks housing.
