Oh they deserve it, just not because of their music. I used to hang with a few guys that grew up in the same town, the stories they would tell...

The man who created Labradoodles regrets his actions

But if we dont have free will morals dont exist because you arent actually chosing anything, if free will doesnt exist we arent choosing those punishments either. It was all mechanically determined before the first star went supernova and created heavy elements. To quote Pigeon of Mike Tyson Mysteries "whatevers gonna happen, is gonna happen anyways"

I personally believe that free will exists because of the quantum nature of our universe. I think when quntum effects collapse into macro effects that is the universal uncaring impersonal consciousness presenting itself to discreet personalized units of consciousness in a way we can understand and work with. I think the entire universe has consciousness and that when our containers can no longer maintain the biological loci of experience we return to that eternal, ever present, always safe universal consciousness, the source of the sense of identity.

Consciousness does all this because a universe where nothing 'unpredictable' happens and there is no 'other' to share experience with would be eternal solitary confinement.

Just my thoughts on the matter of free will, obviously un-provable and un-testable in our current state of being.

Yep, your brain percieves stimuli and generates a virtual internal reality that runs with a tiny time delay between the objective reality and your internal subjective simulation of it. So we live in a simulation even if our universe is the objectively 'real' one, or we live in a simulation of a simulation.

Your personality may also be a simulation internaly created so that you have a way to 'justify' your bodies actions to other entities. Split brain experiments are veeeery interesting.

This is pure conjecture but I sometimes wonder if neuro-divergencies are caused by a fault in the internal simulation via brain chemistry

Hey, you, I also love FFT. Just beat it again last week. Whats your favorite play style? I always think this time Im really going to do a low level challenge run, but then I get Orlandu and his power corrupts me. Next thing I know everyone has learned serpentarius (Besides dummy Ramza) and I have everyone weilding a chaos blade/ excaliber combo with draw out and a fat stock of chirijiraden.

You ever beat Ultima before she gets a second turn? Feels bad man

My IT buddy called me stupid once early in my career. I said "heeeeyyyyy, Im not stupid. I just dont know better. Like a puppy!" Now we are good work buddies because I follow his advice and never try to 'figure it out'. He is a nice guy, I mean... I only made it so no printer in any branch in the whole nation could function for a few hours. Oopsie!

The go nice with my denim couch and Levi drapes, but only for fancy's sunday's dinner's like toaster strudles.

Well well, a new thing for me! Hopefully we can trade: have you heard of 'some more news' also of youtube? I really like the cody showdy

As an example I've paid for a copy of Breath of Fire 3, 3 times in my life, because the disc broke twice over the years. Now my ps1 & 2 are caput. I still own a copy of the disk. Would it be illegal to download an emulator (I've boughten 2 ps1 and 4 ps2 in my lifetime) and a rom of BoF3? Sony got their cut 9 times already.

If buying isnt owning then pirating isnt stealing in my humble opinion.

When 'let them eat kellogs' becomes more of a reality

You see, were old poor. Were used to it. You need new poor to really get things going

If you look closely you'll notice republicans are only fervent about certain things that they have linked to the christian religion but the link is usually tenuous, sometimes the subject not mentioned specifically in the bible at all. Jesus supposedly said "live by the sword, die by the sword" - those were not instructions but a warning. And other things in the christian religion they fully ignore. I posit that they are not fervent christians at all but rather wolves in sheeps clothing.

If you want to see really fervent christians, there are many in Africa and Asia. Being actually persecuted, or even just poor in education tends to ratchet up the ferventcy in true believers.
