It's starting to get to the point where I need to start wearing a coat again... bleh.

So you wouldn't be interested if I make a SMS editor?

---

I'd be very interested in an editor for a certain Sega Master System game and- *shot*

No, wait, that's not right...

Basically yeah, I barely remember the internet not existing- some of my earliest memories are playing Checkers online via Prodigy, and it just kind of went from there.

Is there some test to confirm that this is not a thread?

---

Science is a failure, we live in a universe of pure chaos, not even the most trivial fact can be proven. Trust me on this, I'm a scientist. no there's no way to prove whether I'm a scienceist or not either

Have you ever heard of Descartes and uncertainty?

---

Well, going off of a half-remembered philosophy class, Descartes' argument beyond I think therefore I am was heavily dependent on the existence of a god who was not a deceiver. Unfortunately his argument there is somewhat less convincing than the argument for the existence of the self.

And even the self is not convincing insofar as it proves anything. If one accepts a probabilistic interpretation (as is typically done) of quantum mechanics then many events simply shift from "impossible" to "improbable", and the foundation of the world becomes chaotic, which was my earlier postulate. In such a case we could imagine a non-deceptive god that brings order out of chaos- but this would imply that things only work because that particular god wants it to work that way. Whether that is satisfying or not depends on your worldview; I find it somewhat unsatisfying as it implies that mortal beings can not actually probe the cosmos without divine intervention.

If one accepts the many-worlds theory of quantum physics, then things do not need to be chaotic as necessarily as they do elsewhere- but it does imply that all improbable events must happen somewhere. I tend to dislike theories where the ability to make predictions depends on the fact that you will be wrong sometimes- this is why I dislike the Doomsday Argument. (Also, I prefer to imagine an infinitely existing human civilization that overcomes entropy, because I'm an optimist)

Finally, regardless of physics, any prediction and observation is very difficult to definitively say whether it occurs outside of a self-delusion. It's not difficult to imagine a world where the music I'm listening to suddenly turns into loud violent beeps, and some girl wakes up in the year 43,000 AD on the Worldship Delta-9 and wonders about that strange dream she had that was a lot like what she imagined old 21st century Earth to be like, except they had the internet for some reason.

This isn't really something I say wrong, but why do a lot of Americans pronounce minotaur as "minnotarr" instead of "mine-otorr".

---

I had never heard of pronouncing the first syllable as "mine" before this post.

Posted by SaphireBlaise

---

Surely if it were pronounced with a soft I it would have two n's following it , right? At least that's what I gauge based on every other word with a similar letter pattern

---

Judging an English word's pronunciation by its spelling is a dangerous game- for example, "minimum" breaks your pattern.

Do you like giving very long answers?

---

I'd like it more if people read them, but I realize that you're all just here to spam and that would reduce post rate productivity. So instead I'll have to make them even longer muahahahaha

Cats: long or short tail?

---

This question doesn't parse. Are you asking me which tail length I prefer? In which case I would say long, but short and bob-tailed cats are also cute.

Posted by SquidEmpress

---

Why not give longer answers? I wish I could give long answers in my ask thread, but I haven't really had the type of question fit for a long answer.

Also, maybe long answers will help me get out of currently being first place in this month's KCS? I did not plan I would already have first place in this month's KCS.

---

Just be warned, the usual problem with long answers is that you do a ton of writing, and then no one actually reads it and you feel like you wasted your time

Can you keep the answers to two paragraphs at most?

---

But the long huge essay types are the best!

Anyway, faced with a limit like that I'd just use larger paragraphs

Why do I keep on getting physics problems incorrect at school?

---

You listened to me too much and now you think you can use quantum mechanics to simplify your answers. =o

I caught Eevee!

The annoying thing about Eevee is that she's cuter than all her evolutions

Do you believe in that theory that every body has its natural weight that it will gravitate towards if you just eat normally?

---

What if that's true and my natural weight is 0? =o

Do you think quantum mechanics will cause me fail in Physics?

---

We'll assume a basic two-state system, the first state being success, the second state being failure. Our spinor χ(Φ) ends up looking like:

|sin(Φ)\
|cos(Φ)/

We'll assume that you act in the x-direction. Therefore, your matrix ends up like this:

χ(final)=/sin(Φ)|0 1|sin(Φ)\
         \cos(Φ)|1 0|cos(Φ)/

χ(final)=/sin(Φ)|cos(Φ)\
         \cos(Φ)|sin(Φ)/

χ(final)=sin(Φ)cos(Φ)-sin(Φ)cos(Φ)=0

Therefore, you passing or failing is a purely classical effect, and anything at quantum scales can have no effect.

No, it sounds horribly NSFW.

Scary. :<

I suppose the implication is that lesbians wouldn't be focused on their learning. Tsk tsk.

Did you know that you gave me headache? How come I don't understand math?

Lili~ ♥ would tell you it's a gender thing, but that has bad implications for me So I would instead say that it's a highly specialized field and the point was mostly just to be complicated

Edit: How do you feel that I stole your "Goddess of the Apocalypse?" title by using "Empress of the Stolen Title?" as my title?

---

Well, being a Goddess still outranks an Empress. Unless you're a God-Empress. That's the kind of title I can totally get behind.

Would you like some ice cream right now?

Sure.

...so, where is it?

Posted by SquidEmpress

Well, I don't if I call myself a goddess or am I a goddess?

PARSE ERROR.

Please reboot universe and try again.

Anyway, do you enjoy the Armageddon on Earth?

I told you, I'll get to it eventually! It's just that I'm trying to get a good post-apocalypse planned first.

Where's Waldo?

---

That information is classified, code orange.

I feel like I haven't gotten a single good night of sleep this week... so tired...

Posted by SquidEmpress

Are you sure that's classified? Waldo is currently in Fiji.

---

The existence of Fiji is also classified, agent.

It's times like this I need a catgirl secret agent mood avatar

I will admit that Flareon is cute (which ゼンガー・ゾンボルト should note is the only worthwhile consideration for a pokemon)
