The Purge: be honest, would you be a purger or an abstainer
I doubt I'd go around and kill, but I'd definitely destroy public property and steal random stuff

@Castin
People rarely notice said bias even after they've done it

Also, something kinda weird: We can have a math problem placed in front of us with a simple solution, but if said solution involves our political beliefs, we will answer according to our belief.

The example my prof used was a test to see if a type of face cream cured acne, and showed numbers for either side. The test subjects answered mostly correctly. However, when they changed the title from face cream to crimes in countries with/without gun control, people answered according to how they viewed gun control

On The Topic of Ridiculous Flame Wars
Don't you guys know how the human brain works, especially in the current modern day of "fake news"

Everyone has their own belief, and that belief creates their standard of reality. However, if someone were to challenge their reality, it would create a problem. Since people learn early on that "mistake/being wrong = bad thing", they will do literally anything to defend their reality, because they can't handle the idea that "I might be wrong".

Sure, we can accept we're wrong, but not always.

There are three stages to the "insults" and flame wars you speak of, and it's based on the disagreement. 

If someone disagrees with you...
Step 1: They're ignorant. They don't know the truth, and all you need to do is show them the correct information and they'll join your side.

Step 2: They're stupid. They have all the truth and information but can't put it together to get the same conclusion that I do.

Step 3: They're evil. They know that their belief is wrong and are purposely trying to thwart you and push their agenda against a society of people who are stuck at step 1. They are the cause of all our problems. 

Everytime we meet someone who does not qualify for a step, we move down the ladder. If they disagree, they're ignorant. If they're not ignorant, then they're stupid. If they're not stupid, then they're evil.

It's just how we as people try to cope with the idea that we may be wrong, which is becoming a serious problem in current society

Is visual fact true to a blind person?
Lmao re-reading this, I did a terrible job wording.

My professor was holding a pen and asked if him holding a pen was a fact.

Is visual fact true to a blind person?
Here's the example, based off a senior in my anthro class who majored in philosophy. My prof asked if him holding a pen was a fact.

The student replied "Not if you're asking a blind person because they can't see it."

So what do you guys think? Personally I think it's a fact because it wasn't about whether or not you could see the pen, but if he was holding it, which he was. I'm sure there's a lot that can go into this but yeah that's my tought

To truly eliminate the problem we must destroy the Earth. Only then will we have order. It's obviously the only logical conclusion. 
So, if we ban the user "Earth", then problem solved?

Quasi Dungeons and Dragons
My character either needs to be

1. Me, but only 90 pounds and flies around on a magic broom
2. A guy with three split personalities that he switches between at will. All three are good at one thing, but the other two personalities are terrible at it (if one is good at stealth, the other two are shit at it. If one is good at magic, the other two are shit at it. You get the point). Their names are Dock, Xu, and Bushi

Let me know if you guys get #2 ;3

yeah ikr! I'm an old guy now


Uni is going fine, not too many classes, only one 8am. Downside is my professors are highly discouraging me using a laptop for any reason in class (except my math professor, strangely enough, but he's trying to show us how to do statistics with excel and that's a very... interesting thing)
