Bloody smokers

[Skeebo]

Once I get done proving to folks that Florida is not flat I will move on to the rest of the world.

You guys just have to be patient.

OOOOHHHHH I just thought of how our world could actually be flat. It isn't real. We are all living in a giant virtual "Pac-Man" game and airplanes only seem to fly around a sphere because when they exit one side of the screen, they magically appear on the other side, still heading in the same direction. This makes it seem spherical when it isn't. It also explains why things don't fall off the edge.

I wonder how many people I could convince of this, and more importantly, how much money could I make from it.

Could happen on apr 6th. GPS weak number rollover is going to burn some older GPS systems and other systems that merely rely on GPS timing in various weird ways we won’t see until it happens. That particular scenario actually isn’t totally impossible depending on what your electronics happens to do.

I had a physics teacher in H.S. that was a member. It was a JOKE. A way to teach critical thinking skills.

But no more.

All this crap could be solved if we instituted a voting I.Q./Critical thinking test. Don't pass, can't vote. Same for all members of congress and/or departments (like the FDA). Don't pass, not hired.

You can't fix stupid, but you don't have to let it run the country (whatever country).

Seems extreme and possibly inaccurate. It does make me wonder what exactly happened within the scociety and how though. It’s literally a total role reversal. There have been a lot of those in the last 30 years or so.

It was mostly sarcastic to support the punch-line conclusion.

But yeah.

I don't know your gonna have a hard time with that.. we call everyone that isn't from the mountains "flatlanders" so you might have a hard time convincing some that places like Florida aren't flat..

Lol..

Florida is begging to differ with you, and it's trying to fix that itself. That's what all those sink-holes are about....


(dang, Opinionated beat me to it, sort of. )

Sorry. Had a “mr Spock” moment there. Still waking up.

Heh. It’s all relative. I grew up near Fargo ND which is an area so flat that if you stand on the hood of your car and look at the horizon you can actually see the curvature of the earth. Ironically it makes the area a great place to teach people to fly really large passenger jets. Supposed to drive the Air Force guys in grand forks ND a bit batty after awhile.

How can anyone still think smoking is good for you?!?

The same way people think vaping isn't bad for you.

 

[dennism]

I don't believe I've ever seen anyone in these forums say that vaping isn't bad for you. The most I've seen is people saying that vaping is better than smoking.

 

[stols001]

To be fair to the smoker he said, "It's better.. It's good for you." I think it's sweet he was willing to give up a smoke in pursuit of the FDA "Studies." They're not cheap you know.

Also, technically, you do not "fly to the moon" you can only get to what. the exosphere I think it is, until your plane stalls out. You need a rocket ship.

With that said, I'm going to put all my credulity into the flat earthers, and stash it there. So, there is no exosphere. Or, moon. Etc.

It’s the 21st century all over the planet (except Ohio where it’s still 1950)

I think it was Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) who joked if there were signs of the end of the world he would go to (insert Ohio city) because that city was four years behind the rest of the world.

He wasn’t wrong back then. It’s probably not even 1950 now... we seem to be going backward at a faster clip than ever lately.

Unitarian Jihad used to be a joke, too. Not so sure now.

Good point. Binary thinking is often exploitable. “Some” can be made into all or none quite easily and arbitrarily using it. People still do it though. I generally support some over all or none. It’s very often more accurate.

Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.

Nice to hear the U.S. Isn't the only place for idiots.

Everything I’ve seen everywhere says idiots are omnipresent. Also non idiots, and in about the same ratio.

i was outside today at college vaping, and a student came up to me and tried to give me a cigarette.

I politely said no thanks, he responded: yes take it, it’s better, it’s good for you!

I just stared back and replied: no it really isn’t!

He got ...... and walked off.

How can anyone still think smoking is good for you?!?
