Oh well. I guess noone has anything to say. In other news, I will be stuck in a polar vortex next week. It sounds pretty intimidating to me. I have to find by bomber jacket if I don't want to be in a polar vortex wearing a trenchcoat for warmth. Maybe i can wear my big trenchcoat over my small trenchcoat. But that might turn the polar vortex into a polar rift.

Ya know what I hate? Fake news. Especially recently. It is an example of how people are willing to mislead people with possibly huge and devastating results (when dealing with politics, usually) just for some money. It's scary. Kids should learn to spot fake news when they are in school. It's also a good example of how the internet, much like so many other inventions, is used for as much bad as it is used for good. I hope I never stoop as low as to lie about stuff for personal gain, and without absolutely needing to. They must have really twisted morals to be able to live with themselves. And then there are people who lie, and really want it to be true, they almost entirely believe it themselves. Honesty can be a lot harder than lying. And that is why I pride myself in honesty, and being trustworthy. I mean, if I'm not, how do I know that others will be? People that believe their own lies and exaggerations really annoy me. Perhaps it is because you can never tell what part of what they say is actually true, if at all. Does anybody else here know someone like that?

Recently in my pondering I have found something in science that I think stands in favor of the existence of a god. What is it? The food chain. Most stuff on the food chain has no personality, or purpose beyond surviving and contributing to the chain. Except for at the very top: humans. Humans are one of the few creatures on earth and on the food chain that have purpose beyond survival and stuff. Think about it. Based on sciencey explanations for things (like humans evolving from apes and whatnot), that doesn't make sense. Why, from a purely biological, evolutionary standpoint would the food chain seemingly exist largely for the purpose of one species? And if humans evolved from ape like creatures, than why is there only one species like ours? Also, other animals on the top of the food chain, to an extant seem to have personality too. Cats and dogs are good examples. They have personality, and feel emotions like guilt, and they too (because of humans) exist for purposes beyond mere survival, or contributing to the food chain. It seems like something that a god would orchestrate, not just evolution.

That picture of a tiger plowing snow is a good find. Anyways, I was thinking of the term "crime doesn't pay". It is mostly evident in cartoons and comics for young, impressionable children, to teach them not to become criminals. But it is getting the wrong message across. Crime does often pay, and, if done well, it pays quite handsomely. And instead of lying to youth about it, they should express a different message about crime. While crime DOES pay, what's really important is that people know that being payed isn't necessarily going to satisfy you. I don't think it is worth making money if the process of doing so leaves you with money, fear, and guilt. The money will buy you some cool stuff, sure, but we as humans always want more than we currently have. And money runs out. As does the joy that comes from it. And when that money runs out, it leaves you living in fear, guilt, and a feeling of regret. Some, big and powerful criminals try to suppress those feelings by stealing more money. And if you don't get to that point, chances are you will end up broke, and on the streets, dead, in jail, or some other nasty fate that you can't go back in time to change. And heck, once a kid starts watching or reading the news, they will quickly hear that crime does pay, and, if not armed with wisdom against temptation, might just see it as a "good" way to make some money. So, moral of the story is that instead of lying to our children, we should teach them, well, morals!

Have you ever met someone who is intent on going around making people quit being violent? Someone who thinks violence can be stopped? Someone who keeps trying to teach people never to use violence? Well,they have good intentions, but their work is useless, in the sense that their goal is impossible. My personal opinions on violence and it's use is that, well, violence CAN be used wisely, as it can also be used UNwisely. Violence, and weapons, are tools. They can be tools of defense, tools of attack, or even tools to help people in danger. If violence wasn't used against hitler's army in WW2, who knows what horrible fate the world would have come to! There will always be people who will use violence unwisely- to hurt others, gain power over people, etc. And because of that, I think it is utterly UNwise to go around teaching people to never be violent. If nobody defends themselves from those unwise violence-users, than they will just waltz right in and control people, like some kind of mini dictator. And if one person isn't strong enough to defend themselves, then, by golly, other bystanders should help that poor soul fight back! Moral of the story- if you or someone around you is attacked, then the first priority is to get up and fight back! Calling the police, or getting a teacher, etc should be second priority. I mean, what good can cops do if by the time they arrive, 5 people have been murdered, and the killer escaped. If I get into a fight, by golly I will fight! Here are a few tips to use in such a situation: hit the solar plexus and they will instantly lose their breath and fall to the floor defeated; an uppercut to the jaw tends to knock people out; you can easily break free of a grab if you know how; the element of surprise is powerful; you can dive or roll into their legs and knock them down. If they throw a strong punch or kick, grab it, and use the momentum to make them fall flat on their back or tummy; twisting of wrists can relieve somebody of a weapon; use your environment for weapons and manueverability; try and confuse them. If I was jumped in an allyway at night, instead of running away, or giving up the money that I worked to earn, I would start yelling random, insane-sounding stuff, and start running at them with a creepy psycho look on my face. In other words, understanding in psychology and anatomy can give you a huge advantage in combat. As can a rocket launcher. This is one long post (I mean rambling). If you read all this, go fight somebody for a cookie.

I recently thought of a bit of a joke. Here goes:

In modern society, it is crucial to be able to differentiate between Canadians, and Canedians. Heres a trick:
Canadian Person: Had a good day, ey? Ey? EY???!?!?!?!?!?
Canedian Person: Had a good day, EH! EH!!!! EH!!!!!!!!!!
Mysterious Cool Person That I Forget The Name Of: Aaaayyyyyy!

Recently a topic has come to be turned over and over in the pondering process of my mind, and that topic is aliens contacting humanity. What would happen? Perhaps all the many movies and books about evil aliens will have people protesting the aliens, and waiting to attack them. In that case, what if the aliens have had a similar image stuck in their brains about aliens to them. And based purely on the assumption of evil aliens on each side, pointless war would be started? On another note, "pointless" is one of those words in the English language that is usually used to portray a definition that matches the context of a sentence, instead of the word's actual definition. Now, back to aliens. How different would they be, or how similar, to humans would they be to humans, if they had indeed developed highly advanced space travel technology? Would they have emotions? Curiosity? Well they would have to have at least one of those, or a powerful survival instinct as a species, or they wouldn't have motivation to seek out another intelligent species, or just another life-supporting planet. Perhaps their planet is destroyed, and they seek a new home. Perhaps they, like us, want to learn all the secrets of space. What would their culture(s) be like? Would any of them be wise? If so, what percentage of them would be wise? Would they be violent, or peaceful? Maybe they would be on an expedition to further their technology and knowledge on the scientific and/or religious front. Would they have religion? Would they be as contradictory a species as humanity? The possibilities are endless, but if aliens did come to Earth, I highly doubt they would have violent intent. Why would a super advanced species want to wipe out a civilization/species like humanity? I think their first priority would be to learn to communicate with us and become an ally to us. And eventually, maybe join our community, and help educate us. Similarly, if zombies were real, I doubt it would be much of an apocalypse. I mean, if somebody, after dying, came back to life somehow, it would be a miracle. And even if their brains were reduced to animalistically hunting down food and stuff, why would they attack humans, let alone try and eat our brains? Realistically, they would hunt down smaller animals first. Also, why and how would they "infect" others. A zombie is a reanimated person, not a sick, and not undead, person, right? And reanimation isn't really a disease. And if it was, how would it spread to living people? And why would it make them turn into brain eating, lumbering emotionless creatures?

That reminds me! Imagine what FNAF would be like if it was realistic- psychologically! If some kids were murdered, and could posses non-living stuff, first of all, why wouldn't they just repossess their own dead bodies and get help? And if they could only possess the animatronic suits they were stuffed into, why would they hunt down the killer, murder him, and stuff him in a suit? These are KIDS, we are talking about, not creepy murderers! Also, why the crap would they decide to coordinate this plan of theirs to a specific, and inconvenient schedule based on time? Also, Scott never mentioned any motive for the murderer. Why did the murderer murder those kids? Why not murder more, or less? Why at a pizzeria? Okay, heres what I think would happen if FNAF was realistic. The kids would wake up as animatronics. After some confusion the boys would probably realize that they are now super cool, strong robot things, and that it is pretty awesome. After a while, they would probably realize that they can still communicate with people, if only by writing. They would probably go find their families, and or police. After helping the police arrest the murderer, they would probably also help contribute to our knowledge of science and the afterlife. They would be famous. They would live their lives pretty much normally, save for the fact that they are robots with rotting bodies stuffed in them, and eventually graduate, get jobs, etc. Also, why do stuff like scare the possible murderer with their screams, but reversed? And if they did scream whilst being murdered, wouldn't someone in the main area of the restaurant hear it? And thus I conclude- FNAF isn't scary. FNAF is little kids in robot bodies, not a jumpscare-toting, creepy secret hiding, time-based schedule following horror experience. Now, if you want it to be like the game, and also be realistic, replace the murdered kids with murdered insane asylum escapees. Then it would make sense. Sort of. Now think of this: Golden freddy, a math teacher. Chica, working at an insurance company. Foxy, a patent attorney. Mangle, the artist. Freddy, the Broadway dancer. And bonny, the kindergarten teacher. And there you have it, folks. Realistic FNAF, in later installments. I hope you enjoyed reading this one.

Mostly philosophy. Perhaps a bit of comedy. Perhaps pictures of pills without sciencey names, or sciencey names without pills. But pictures of pills WITH sciencey names just doesn't belong here.
