I mean, honestly, who wouldn't have wanted that kind of brotherhood, you or anyone else? 😁

Joseph Cruz90 said:Before my post on this thread, there was only one "outright" Mexican writing here. All those others you’re labeling as "hidden" Mexicans are actually just Americans who happen to disagree with your politics.
And honestly, what kind of "benefit" would Mexicans even get from having supposedly "hidden" Mexicans lurking on a forum where all that matters is what someone actually writes? These "hidden" Mexicans are just Americans writing in what they believe is the best interest of the US... which might be different from how you see it, but that’s their democratic right.

Man, seriously... when am I ever going to stumble upon a sane post on the Lunatics board? 😱

Walter, I read through the whole topic—Inky was definitely better.
Especially that comment about him flipping the script... absolutely genius. 🤣

Nicole Allen10 said:Jack Harris3 hasn't been kicked off the platform. I honestly think it’s just because he was banned...

I actually checked before I put together my last post, and I just double-checked again right now before typing this—your private messaging is turned off.

The CIA can't receive messages from any forum members if you don't go into your profile and turn that option off... 😉

Denied. ☕

Sandra Palmer10 said:WHEN YOU FINALLY DISCOVER WHO YOU REALLY ARE, TAKING CARE OF "OTHERS" BECOMES EASY BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU DO COMES FROM THAT ONE SINGLE SOURCE.

Maestro! 😱 🤣

...compassion is what guides them...

I wouldn't say it's talking to you, though... You're still hearing those bombs go off... 😉
Just let it go. You can't stop everyone else from hearing them too.

Sandra Palmer10 said:that’s actually the whole point of the spiritual growth I’m talking about: focusing on yourself and what's happening inside you, rather than obsessing over everyone else or things outside your control.

So, if you're supposedly all about "inner work" and looking inward, why are you here on this forum picking on OTHER people? Just pointing out (in your opinion) THEIR flaws... blah blah blah... 🤣
How can anyone take you seriously when your actions don't match your words? 😁
Just some wannabe Jesus showing up to save the world, only to have everyone laugh at him... it's honestly kind of sad. 😁

The other day, I was hanging out by the shore of this gorgeous lake, just sitting there doing my usual meditative thinking, and it hit me: happiness comes from within.

And yeah, I've been agreeing with that sentiment for years now. 🙂

Lisa Rodriguez84 said:Hmm... it doesn't always feel right when some stranger starts telling us how smart we are, does it?

Honestly, those types make me suspicious right away. They usually want something from us, so they start with the flattery just to get their foot in the door... 🤣

I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I definitely trust my own gut more than I trust anyone else's... 🥳 😁

William Gonzalez3 said:So, hey... do you actually have any real arguments to back up that claim of yours about being smart?

I feel like... nobody really gets me... 😢 What else am I supposed to conclude... other than that I'm a total genius? 😁
unnamed

So, what does it even mean to be "smart" anyway? ...

I honestly don't have a clue, but from how I've been using it... I guess it really just comes down to the context...
It could mean someone sees you as generally pretty sharp... or maybe they just think you're being smart in one specific moment. But then, tomorrow? They might turn around and call you an idiot out of nowhere... things change like that... 😁

William Gonzalez3 said:Do you honestly think you're smart... just asking myself, really...

Got it. 👍 I already cast my vote, but man... if I could just jump back in line and cast another one, I totally would... 🥳

But hey, that doesn't mean I don't slip up and say something stupid once in a while... 🤣

I’m definitely not the romantic type. 😁
To me, "sometimes" and "never" are basically two sides of the same coin. The only thing that actually separates them is the "moment."
If you seize the "sometimes," you've got a chance... if you let it slip, it just becomes "never." 😁

viviana said:I'm hanging around, but I don't always feel brave enough to jump in and post. 🙂

Just be brave. 🙂
And please, don't just run away if you get hit with a nasty comment. Sometimes those happen... 😉

But can you really wrap your head around what "sometimes" actually means?

How did life actually start? WHEN & WHERE? 😕

If it was a gradual process (biogenesis), then you can’t really draw a hard line between non-living and living things, unless you just make one up.

But if we go with those creative "theories," we run right into a wall because they assume the "creator" is a living being.😉

I have my doubts about both versions, honestly...
With the first one, everything seems just a little too "perfect"... all the gears clicking together so seamlessly... it feels like there’s an overwhelming amount of coincidence involved. And even then, how does something transition from being totally inanimate to suddenly "coming alive," or mutating from "dead" matter into something "living"? How and why would that even happen?
As for the second version—the one that attempts to explain our very existence—it just pushes the mystery back one step... where did the creator get life from in the first place? What is the source of its own life?
And then there's the fundamental question of what life actually is. We see how it interacts with matter, sure, but I'd argue that life itself isn't material...🙂
What we call death might just be the expiration date of the physical matter itself...😁

Jack Harris3 said:What does it actually mean to strive for an individual being to achieve immortality?

It basically means "abolishing" death itself for that being... 😉

neonhound32 said:Eventually, you lose the ability to delete or edit your stuff. I think once someone else posts after you, the option to delete disappears, and the edit window closes after about 30 days... but honestly, my memory is a little fuzzy on all the specifics.

Even over in New York. 🤣

You can actually edit (and delete) things for five hours after they go live.
After that window closes, only a moderator can touch them.
Your IP address or how many people replied after you doesn't change anything...

crimsonmoose3 said:Since we're all talking about usernames anyway, could someone please change my handle from crimsonmoose3 to John_constantine? 😁

Honestly, your current one is way better... five times better, even.

So, final word on this? 😁

U?

N/A said:😬
I was thinking about adding something else...

N/A?

It’s a no from me. Your username 😁 is already plenty long enough, and if you made it any longer, it would just mess up the whole page layout... 😉
