I thought this would be another one of those alerts that wasn’t that big of a deal, but the way he turned and looked to the sky, holding up both hands, pretty scary. He’ll say he was joking around. Rush Limbaugh would say “that’s a joke”, then say, “I do that for the lawyers”.

Lausten replied to the topic Need help to turn off psychic abilities in the forum Pseudoscience and the Paranormal 5 years, 5 months ago
I have bumped my burner knobs on numerous occasions. It seems to happen more often when I’m home alone. I come back into the kitchen and smell gas and have no memory of turning the knob. Is someone or something trying to kill me? Since I have started being more careful around the stove, it’s stopped. Pretty weak spirits in my house I guess.

I got an ad from them, pretty flashy, but it took a little research to figure out they were biased.

He is capable and at least tries before saying he can’t hack it. Most of all, he’s not trying to prove something to everyone else.
Yes, well said.

Lausten replied to the topic who's your pick? in the forum Politics and Social Issues 5 years, 5 months ago
Either Lausten doesnt know what he stands for thus cannot align with someone or there is no-one in the race that aligns with his ideology or doesnt really care as the status quo is awesome.
Your ability to assume is above and beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I have a sense of what I’d like in a President, and no, no one aligns perfectly with it,…[Read more]

I was just looking up a description of the fallacy where you say you just have some questions, and that you have questions is used as proof that something must be wrong. I’d never heard of “sealioning” before. The cartoon is pretty funny.

Lausten replied to the topic The Cosmic Joke in the forum Philosophy 5 years, 5 months ago
If I don’t respond to a post of your’s CC, it’s not that I don’t care about it, it’s usually that it’s a lot to a absorb and I want to spend some time thinking about it before responding. Then I get sucked into an argument with some drug addict or something.

Lausten replied to the topic If you believe all negative news about Trump is "fake…" in the forum Politics and Social Issues 5 years, 5 months ago
I’m aware that sex trafficking is a big problem. I don’t think that accusing the Clinton’s of killing Epstein is a way to combat that. I’m also concerned about separation of church and state issues, excessive use of our military and decreasing power of unions. I’m not wasting my time reading articles that have no evidence behind them. I have much…[Read more]

When you finally do link a source Player, it just further exposes your inability to read with comprehension, check sources, verify truth and use logic.

Lausten replied to the topic who's your pick? in the forum Politics and Social Issues 5 years, 5 months ago
I don’t pick a candidate this early. Believe it or not, I don’t like politics. The horse race especially. And campaign rallies just creep me out.
And, Player, it’s amazing how even when you saying “nothing”, you manage to come off as a complete turd.

Lausten replied to the topic If you believe all negative news about Trump is "fake…" in the forum Politics and Social Issues 5 years, 5 months ago
Player; I gave you the courtesy of asking you a few questions to see if you had anything to actually say. You don’t. You can barely evaluate what others are saying. This explains why you have so much trouble understanding what you read in the daily news. It must be very frightening to live in a world where people with normal jobs, just reporting…[Read more]

How exactly would I apply pressure on a news organization?
I see your posts Tee.

The point Player; show the evidence.

When did they “refuse to explain”?

Lausten replied to the topic If you believe all negative news about Trump is "fake…" in the forum Politics and Social Issues 5 years, 5 months ago
If you can’t point to evidence, it’s the same as not having it Player. Saying someone said there is no evidence is not evidence of anything. Class dismissed.

Argue about everything and if you can’t win with logic, shoot them or just quietly go back to the lab and write a paper no one will read. We are the country with the statue of liberty and the big fence. We’re the place where Wyatt Erp made you leave your guns with him while you were in town, but now people claim the right to walk around with an…[Read more]

Lausten replied to the topic Credibility Enhancing Displays (CREDs) in the forum Religion and Secularism 5 years, 5 months ago
Back in college, when I would have been consuming at nearly the same rate as 420SOS, I wondered around the 9 story library on campus. I’m sure I’m not the only one who did that, but I felt like I was pretty smart for doing it. I don’t remember how I found it, but I picked up a small book on practices of an itinerant guru/shaman or something.…[Read more]

Lausten replied to the topic Football, being a real man, soldier-ing in the forum General Discussion 5 years, 5 months ago
Football is the one sport that keeps my interest. I played through high school and still follow the professional teams. I never would have thought of a connection to the military, other than a more distant idea like the Greek Olympics, pitting their best against ours in a controlled environment. I guess there’s a little gladiator spectacle in t…[Read more]

“I’m cannasexual, it’s not a choice, I was born this way and you need to make special bathrooms for me smoke in and implement cannabis harvesting classes in all schools, I believe that and you must accept it”
That’s exactly how you sound
Besides the other logical fallacies in the post prior, this is not how anyone sounds. You have this simple id…[Read more]
