  • Yeah back in my smoking days I bought a unique looking lighter so I wouldn’t accidentally steal someone else’s. After a night of drinking, I noticed I somehow had two of them.

    Sorry! I tried my best not to steal your lighter, whoever was unfortunate enough to have one that looked like mine.





  • Yup. It’s the answer that conflicts with sci-fi, but fits out best understanding of how things work. It’s also the answer people don’t want to hear.

    Also we only know of one planet that has life on it. There’s really nothing we can do with statistics with a sample size of one. So it’s just as likely that we’re the only sentient life in the universe as it is there’s millions of of sentient lifeforms out there. That is to say we simply don’t know.

    But I still like sci-fi where there’s a lot of interesting aliens that can fairly easily warp around the universe to hang out. But it is fiction.




  • Yup. and some meetings you people ask you a question so you legit need some time to think about what information you should look up before the meeting. Even if 95% of the time nobody asks you anything, you gotta take some time to think about the topic the meeting is on and whether there might be a question for you so you have the answer for that 5% of the time. But 100% of the time you have to stop and consider what the meeting is about beforehand for the 5% of the time there’s an actual question.

    Also when I know I have a meeting coming up, I don’t want to get in too deep on something that takes a lot of focus.




  • I saw an article about them attacking Lebanon now.

    Hezbollah, not Lebanon. Please don’t legitimize terrorist groups by considering them to be the government of the country they operate in. Lebanon has elections, please support democracy and it’s not consider Hezbollah as Lebanon’s government, even if those psychopaths have control over a significant portion of the country.

    That being said, Nasrallah is probably under significant pressure to do something to help Hamas in some way. Last week he put out some threats against Israel. Israel put out counter threats. In all likelihood that’s where things will stay, neither side wants a war with the other.

    The media is always saying a war is imminent. Remember when they were claiming China was going to invade Taiwan any minute? There’s probably some outlets that’re still are saying that sometimes. It gets clicks, views, and ratings.

    Who knows they might be right this time (a stopped clock is right twice a day) but it seems doubtful.

    So, where will it stop?

    In terms of Gaza, Hamas is still holding Israeli hostages. It’s not going to stop as long as Hamas is holding Israelis hostage.

    Hamas is likely making a lot of money from the suffering of Palestinians. So they don’t have much incentive to release the hostage and put an end to the conflict.

    So it will continue on as the IDF goes house to house trying to find the people that Hamas took on October 7.

    Eventually either the IDF will find all of the hostages or Hamas will release them. Then it will end.
