it’s considered common knowledge that you can’t
I’ve never heard that before. What I have heard several times is that text is not static, so if you read something, look away, and then read it again, it’ll say something different. That I can corroborate, along with the idea that this is how you realize you’re in a dream and induce lucid dreaming.
Replaying old games that I have fond memories of. We’re in an incredible renaissance of classic games getting source ports or updates that bring them up to modern standards, and I’m loving it. Daggerfall, Blade of Darkness, Jagged Alliance 2, Morrowind, Jedi Knight, Caesar 3… I’m sure I’m forgetting some many. They let me forget the present and pretend that I’m back in simpler, happier times, at least for a little while.
Wow, that’s extremely generous! Can I have Vane, please? I love games where you play a bird.
Why do you think most crimes are property crimes? Because the law is only to protect property.
That’s just blatantly untrue, all kinds of actions are criminalized that have nothing to do with property. My hot take is that most crime is property crime because that’s the kind of crime that the perpetrator actually benefits from. If you steal something, you now have that thing. If you murder someone, you’re not any better off than before (aside from whatever loot your victim might drop, which is generally not worth it).
I would describe something that rare as miraculous.
Then you have a different definition of “miracle” than most.
it just doesn’t help your argument to point out how unlikely life is.
And what exactly do you think my argument is?
I very clearly said that I thought the original point by the creationist didn’t make sense, so I’m not sure why you immediately assumed I’m making that argument.
I’m not sure why you assume that I assume that. I said no such thing.
I haven’t done any actual math in this respect, but I suspect this meme is still missing quite a lot of 9s after the decimal point.
If the vast majority of the universe is inhospitable, doesn’t that make it more miraculous and unexplainable that earth is?
No, because the Earth being habitable doesn’t violate any laws of physics. It’s just rare.
Truly a cutting-edge idea.
