    Not sure what you mean by the "smartest person in the world probably isn't THAT smart" ... idk I suppose there is more than one type of "smart". Most people that supposedly have ADD don't seem to have any problem switching tasks, they just kinda go from one thing to the next, and the next etc, and tend to zone out. I do that when I'm tired, or if I just don't give a fuck about something, i.e. it greatly depends on my level of interest in something. Sometimes though I get "stuck" on a certain thing, like if I'm working on a computer program its almost like everything around me disappears and if you speak to me I won't even hear you and my focus is practically unbreakable (though I will get annoyed if someone intentionally tries to interrupt me ... I'm busy, go fuck off) The post I wrote above isn't all that well written, probably because I was a bit overstimulated. Now I'm like really fuckin tired for some reason, my brain's clock isn't in sync with the 24 hour day, so basically I NEVER get enough sleep. I wish they would come up with a cure for sleep ... to eliminate the need for it. Sleep is for species that haven't discovered engineering yet.

    oh?.... neither have I and so am i.....
    i get the feeling you keep trying to infer something without coming right out and saying whatever it is you need to say. that is a type of bullying, imo.

    Have I done something to you?

    If you truly do not care then who cares how someone sells their body, is there body let them sell it however they want. We all have a mind of our own in order to express our convictions, as well as not accept others' convictions.

    As for my piece of randomness... I have jabbing pain on my side and on my spine. Actually, that might not be as random as I think, becuase this occurrence happens in patterns and frequency. But, whatever. I can't be as wonderfully random as I usually am. I guess it's the name change.

    i will have to admit it certainly LOOKS random. whether it contains thought i'll leave to cryptology hobbyists to attempt to determine.
    (i wonder if you did one of those simple but not obvious things like shifting ascii by one bit?)

    i love the stallman quote, i wish i lived in a world where it, rather then censorship in the service of greed, were the international law.

    well so are prostitutes and dope dealers i guess. just doesn't exactly say much about the intellegence of the average american.

    ok, well that was obvious. i'd heard about that incident, wasn't entirely expecting that was what this would link to.

    i knew a kid, when i was in high school, his dad worked for the railroad like mine did, anyway he killed himself with a stunt like that,

    its possible, though not likely, he did what he did by accident, or that something else entirely is what happened,

    anyway, he shot at an explosives storage bunker, or again, that is what is believed to have happened.
    i could see the column of dust and felt the earth shock from where i lived, a couple of miles away, at the time it happened,

    i just happened to be outside and looking in the right direction when it did.

    all they ever found of him, was one shoe with his foot still in it.

    Personally, I think the celebration ie active promotion of fatness (usually in women) is pretty disgusting.

    It promotes self infliction of harm, it lies to the young and vulnerable. And it contributes to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, even cancers etc.

    In Britain there's an appalling set of adverts called a "Campaign for Real Women". Its not "real women", its actually lazy women, greedy women and self delusional ie ignorant women. They don't look "hot" or "real", they look unhealthy. And personally I think it indicates a lack of respect for themselves, their spouses and children etc.It also creates a huge burden on the taxpayer - taking funding from far more deserving causes eg where people are ill through no fault of their own.

    Unless someone is on heavy duty steroids or mentally ill etc, they are fat because they eat too much, and as a secondary factor, are too inactive. The cases of people who truly have a "very slow metabolism" are much fewer than some would have us believe. Interestingly, fat males don't tend to parrot the fat feminists propaganda. They tend to say "I drink too much beer/I can't be bothered with the gym".

    I couldn't care if someone is fat or thin. But I think its wrong that misinformation is promoted and applauded.

    I was deliberately vague to get you thinking hehe!
    What I mean is that intelligence can be defined as i)the brain's ability to make a vast number of new neural connections ii)its ability to directly solve extremely difficult logic problems or iii)somehow enlist an army of others to solve those problems on your behalf. The guy who does option iii) might not have the best neural architecture. BUT he's probably the one who is able to problem solve the most, yes?

    As an ADD person, I think moving between tasks is natural and infact healthy. Notice how TV programmes flip between topics to let you digest something, then come back to it?
    And these programmes are geared for non-ADD people!

    I don't think sleep is that bad. After all, it lets us file everything we've learnt. And it lets us sift through the sub or "supra-conscious" to find answers to things. Things our conscious might not even see a need for yet. Additionally, how many people truly squeeze every last drop out of their waking life? Not many, IMO. So I think we need to squeeze more, or more EFFICIENCY out of both our waking AND sleep life.

    One problem is that brain's that have good "computational architecture" might be addicted to solving problems that might not even need to be solved. There's a famous Bill Gates quote where he says that he often enlists the most lazy person to solve certain problems because it cuts out the unnec. ie harmful shit that might otherwise result.

    Sleep and the 24 hr cycle seems an issue for me too. Quite often when I wake, I feel a little physically tired. My emotions and concentration are sometimes a little scattered. But 2 oe 3 hrs in, I'm much more focussed and efficient. And by 6pm, and even more so by 10pm, I feel completely ontop of the whole day's work. By 5pm or by bedtime, I'm having new flashes of insight, thinking "shit why didn't I do that at 8am and 9am".

    I think the solution is tweaking my nutrition, my rests, and exercise around the day and week. I feel like the brain is an organ that needs to "warm up". Much like some people find with their shoulders/legs or whatever. I do certain things but I still don't feel I've found the overall solution. Not by quite a long way!

    Same goes for people who sell skinniness. Same old topic, but just bullshitted differently. I like to think that people have a mind of their own, instead of listening to what they see in movies, TV, and other forms of social media, like Instagram and YouTube. So, that these people who convey a life of skinniness or fatness can do just that, while others can do whatever they want. Everyone gets theirs, and everyone is happy. I'm not their body, I'm not their doctor, I don't give a shit. No one should either. That's not your body, or your life, so back the fuck off.

    The only time you kind of can get involved in someone's appearance, is if it's a love one, and you honestly without a doubt think they're hurting themselves for the sake of looking a certain way. But, I think you can't go off telling strangers on Instragram, Youtube, forums like this, that you think all this crap is disgusting, or whatever else. Unless, they come at you, I guess. Even then, yea... they're preaching to you to live this way, but you're not fucking stupid, you don't have to listen. Come on now.

    Of course, you can always stand behind the arguement of entitlement, that you're entitled to your opinion. But, I think it's not your business, so stay out of it. If you feel like you need to stand on the soapbox, do it for something that matters, like world hunger, or peace, or some bullshit like that. You're bitching about someone's appearance. Who the fuck cares?

    It's interesting how a girl can somehow become more or less attractive since you first saw her over time, with no actual change in physical appearance (such as if you were to compute her actual proportions, etc). Psychology? Behavior? Personality?

    It's also interesting that people find people more attractive if they're facial features resemble themselves (or at least the feminine analogue, women with masculine facial proportions are generally not perceived that attractive). This has been shown scientifically. This also seems to be true for women with personality types similar to your own, which may be perceived as more attractive as well, though I haven't read anything that I can recall where this has been scientifically shown (maybe anecdotes), I only have my own observations to back this up.

    I don't have a sister, so I don't know how that scenario would work and can't really relate, but there's a certain psychological phenomenon (it has a name, but I can't remember, it was a long time ago that I read about it) that generally keeps people from being sexually attracted to their siblings. I suppose you could find your sister an attractive person, but not sexually? Not sure if that last part makes sense, like I said, I don't have a sister so I don't have a reference point for that.

    i "celebrate" all shapes and sizes of people, places and things. but mostly its places and things, odd little ones people don't usually think of, that interest me, a whole lot more then most things about human people.
    fat people, skinny people, humans are just a life form that i happen to be one of, or sort of almost one of, or born as one this time around, its a circumstantial thing.

    i don't mean this as against anyone or anything, but humans are just a thing that is no more nor less special then any other thing.
    and no, that is not a denial, that physically at least, my form is that of "human".

    its called saturation. i loose interest when people don't seem to see or care about anything other then a family, a nation, a species or even exclusively a single world.

    so someone is fat, someone is skinny. big deal. good for them. people need to look more different from each other. not more like the same.

    The only one on a soapbox is you and your "championing real women" gang.
    I've obviously struck a nerve with your tantrum. Because your post makes zero sense and is infact a jawdroppingly complete and utter contradiction.

    I couldn't give a shit if some idiot eats themself to death. But what I DO object to is when they try and brainwash others into thinking such self mutiliation and delusion is "acceptable" or something to be "celebrated". Children AND adults are brainwashed into thinking gluttony is acceptable. Its NOT.

    Why should people who respect their bodies be refused medical treatment around Europe (maybe USA too)when gluttons have vast sums of money spent on them by the taxpayer? Its an absolute disgrace. Why should ignorant gluttons cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease etc in others? Who are YOU to say that the lives of innocent children and the easily led should be deceived into a life of greed, sloth, obesity and multiple illnesses?

    And gluttony propagandists MAKE IT everyone else's businss by peddling dishonest in the media, online and everywhere else. Why can't they just tell the truth? They're fat because they sit on their behinds eating lots of food. If someone openly peddles lies, they deserve to be shot down.

    You know full well, its this type of brainwashing and harming of innocent people that can't be defended in any way. Its like allowing heroin dealers to set up shop in school playgrounds. Personally, I think its time Europe health services starting telling fat people "abuse your bodies, and its up to you alone to fix it, not the taxpayers who look after themselves".

    PS and if some in the first world didn't eat so much, we'd prob go some way to alleviating world hunger!

    I stopped reading after the first short paragraph. I begin to not care about the topic at hand when the person I'm talking to tries to offend me to get their point across. Fine, you win. Wooooooooo! You're right. You're right. Happy?

    To be honest, I have never seen anyone glorify being fat. Besides posters of plus size modeling, but I never took that as them glorifying it. I took it as a different form of modeling. Of course, there are shows that have fat people, and the discussion of being fat is in those shows, like Roseanne. But, Roseanne was just a regular woman who liked food, was fat, and had a family. I don't remember her ever glorifying being fat. Of course, there are social media personalities that are fat (Wow, I said fat a lot in this paragraph), so they have to talk about being fat, but I don't think talking about it means they're glorifiyinbg it. Granted, I don't look for these things. Hell, I don't notice it for skinniness either. The only people I have found that glorify being fat is like those food completion people. And for people who glorify being skinny is... damn it, what is it called? It's anorexia, but there is another word for it. I don't remember it, though. But, it's those people. Again, I don't look for it, so maybe it has went over my head. But, that's all I have seen, is those two groups. But, they're so small fo a group, that it's like... really are you fucking going to get manipulate by that bit of glorification, that has nothing to do with you, becuase guess what... it's their life, and their body? Really? Really?

    The human attraction seems to focus on both the appearance and personality of someone. I think of it like this. You're in a room with a bunch of different looking people, that you have never interacted with. The part of human attraction that forces on appearance, leads you to walk to only people you find physically attractive. That is why so many people I think, thinks that looks are more important, if not the only importance thing. Becuase looks starts interactions, even those that are not essentially for mating purposes. So, there you go talking to only the people you find physically attractive. What they tell you, do, feel, think, what kind of lifestyle they have, etc makes you more or less attractive to them. As for what I think makes physical attractiveness, I would say everyone has the same outline, so it kind of looks like everyone likes the same kind of looking person, but the details, such as eye color, hair color, etc are base on individual preferences, or you just don't give a shit becuase blue eyes vs. brown eyes, or small tits vs. big tits all look great. As for personality attractiveness, I would think that's base on personal experiences, beliefs, etc.

    Then you have a shallow person, that only focus on someone's appearance regardless of all these other factors. But, I think that is a small group of people. And I think the majority uses both forms, where appearance starts the interaction, and personality keeps it, or destroys it. I also think that there are people who start a relationship base on personality, and then either proceeds it, or ends it base on looks. So, the opposite. I think that happens a lot over the Internet. And finally, there is the oddball that doesn't base anything on looks, solely on personality. But, I never met anyone like that. I do think they exist, though.

    No you lost the argument once by accusing me of "bitching", "soapboxing" and "entitlement" and telling me its "not your business", and "back the fuck off".

    Then you lost it a 2nd time when I demonstrated the total contradiction in your response. BTW I had no idea whether you weight 90lb or 500lb so for you to accuse me of "offending" is yet again... ridiculous.

    You gave up, because you had no defence. Why don't u just admit it!!?
