  • Gnostic / Agnostic is simply a claim about knowledge.

    I'm agnostic as to whether my bread is stale. (I don't know if my bread is stale).

    I'm gnostic about the planets shape (I know it's a sphere).

    Theist / Atheist is a claim about belief.

    Every person fits into one of the following:

    • A Gnostic Theist claims to know God exists (therefore implicitly believing)
    • A Gnostic Atheist claims to know God doesn't exist.
    • An Agnostic Theist believes in God but doesn't have sufficient evidence to make definitive claims.
    • An Agnostic Atheist doesn't have sufficient evidence to make claims about God, and therefore doesn't believe.

    In terms of rationale, both Gnostic groups make definitive claims without sufficient evidence and should not be trusted.

    The Gnostic Theists believe in something without evidence, this is a fallacy, but it's something we all do every day. For example, I don't know if it will rain, but I believe it might, so I bring an umbrella.

    An Agnostic Atheist is the most rational. If you don't have sufficient evidence to make a definitive claim, then why would you believe it?

  • You're not making the point you think you are.

    I understand the implications of both.

    I don't truly call Australian Aboriginals "Australians", I was being facetious.

    Also, I call them "Native Americans".

  • That's what I said ;)

  • Technically, Australian's aren't colonisers; they're victims of British colonisation.

  • Can you elaborate more? I'm under the impression space is very cold, and the heat would get sucked out like I wish I was, at least once before I eat shit.

  • It was Goku for me.

    Though, as I get older, I can't help but think about how Goku enabled space-Nazi's (Frieza), time-Nazi's (Cell), and Kim Jong Un (Buu).

  • Had this explained once, I might miss a detail, but it's like this:

    The only way not to drain your battery is to program in selective key words.

    "But then its always listening" yes, but also, no.

    Imagine someone speaking into a microphone, and seeing their voice bounce around on a oscilloscope.

    This compresses the audio a LOT, and makes it very difficult to discern the differences between words.

    But if you were trained to notice the pattern for a specific word, like "Siri", then you could ignore all the other shapes, conserving your battery.

  • OK, I'll bite, who's the third Crow?

  • That Sodom sure was a great guy, Gamorah too, both very fine people, they've been my friends for 40, 50, 60 or maybe 70 years even. And you ask them, they'll tell anybody, that I've done more for them than anyone else in human history.

  • This was comedy gold. His inflection was identical to that of a child being called out.

    "I caught a Mew in the grass just outside of Pallet Town"

    "Oh yeah? Show me your cartridge"

    "Ah, I didn't save it after I caught it, my batteries died last night"
