I am the one being cool headed here.. romaq is upsett and with due cause.. but notice you are engaging with the upset person and not the rational person giving facts, whom you just seem to be ignoring.

@Romaq @dalias

@freemo

I really *REALLY* get cranky when someone refusing relevant facts and logic on an issue scream, "YOU'RE LYING!"

It's like dealing with a flat-earther. No amount of pointing out relevant facts matters. They know what they know.

@saiv46 @dalias

@Romaq

I understand why your getting cranky, and so far youve been walking the line so as not to be outright hateful or rude, so id say your good, even if it may be slightly counter productive here.

In reality he is doing the same, being emotional and engaging the nonsense and just pretending all the facts were never utttered...

Just another day ont he internet.

@saiv46 @dalias

@freemo I've mentioned to Red's Rhetoric and Sci Man Dan... I can't watch their stuff as much as I approve of it. I get way too wound up screaming at the video, "Would these people JUST F***'IN' LOOK UP!?!?"

@Romaq everyone knows the moon and planets is a hologram put up there by bill gates... duh!

@higharchmage

Right up there with location transmitters in the Covid vaccine. All I can think of is, "If only physics actually allowed it."

@freemo

@Romaq @freemo My 5g never got any better. I was told it would get better.

@higharchmage

Yeah, it kinda pisses me off I'm not getting free 5G over the deal of getting vaxxed.

@freemo

@higharchmage

Does anyone at all think for one instant *IF* it were possible to just "hologram" the ISS we wouldn't see golden arches across the sky anywhere we looked? I mean... has anyone believing this given it any thought at all? Hell! War-time use would have come first, of course.

Anything not explicitly forbidden by the laws of physics is compulsory. It *WOULD* have been done *IF* it can be done.

@freemo

@Romaq

Sounds like something a reptilian alien would say ::eyes you::

@higharchmage

@freemo

Guilty as charged. I actually ask @mikmaqpeek before we go out, "Well, do I pass as human?"

@higharchmage

@higharchmage @freemo @mikmaqpeek

The worst part of the colonoscopy for me, after multiple sessions: drinking the orange flavored dirty bath water before the surgery.

I hope everything came out ok in the end.

Er... phrasing... I need to come up with better phrasing...

@Romaq @freemo @mikmaqpeek Had 3 of those by 35 years old, by 36, colonic inertia (luckily not cancer), but entire colon came out. No stoma either, just reconnected. And healthier than ever, with some nuances. Wish I had it done 20 years ago, but they couldnt figure it out. Anyway, am I fully human? Not really. I also have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome which is a collagen deficiency at the genetic level. Im literally made of different building blocks at the fundamental level than a normal human. So, I always ask myself, am I actually a human or a subspecies of human, (in a science sense, not a moral sense)?

Biology is just so freakin' weird. Speaking of which, I hear Freddy barfing. Poor old cat. :(

@freemo

@Romaq @freemo Oh snap, sorry to hear that. I hope Freddy feels better. My wife wants to name a future pet Freddie after Mercury. My guy just turned 10, hes a shepherd/shiba mutt rescue, hes like 43lbs. As I just told @Baley a moment ago, I really want a Samoyed when I move into a new place.

@higharchmage

Freddy was 1 year old, we think. He was horribly shy, a "fraidy" cat. But when he was hunting, playing, he was a "Freddy Kouger," fierce and frightening. His given name was "Ralph" but my wife didn't think "Ralph" worked for him. So "Freddy Kat" became his name.

He was SO SHY he'd lightly tap us on the side as if seeking attention, but when we turned to look he ran away as if scared. Over the years he's become quite the cuddle bum. We are so happy we helped him overcome his fears over the years. We will miss him as we do his best bud Frisco... in the picture, Frisco (-2020) on the left, Freddy on the right.
