1. #4070283 Wendy, let me explain something to you. Whenever you come in here and interrupt me, you're breaking my concentration. You're distracting me. And it will then take me time to get back to where I was. You understand? 214 1 1.847 94.53Tsunami (bmo12) 94.53 94.53 November 20, 2024
2. #4070316 In the 60s one could observe a shift in emphasis: as I have characterized it before, first it was the task of the programs to instruct our machines, a decade later it was the task of the machines to execute our programs. 220 3 1.742 89.15Tsunami (bmo12) 61.92 61.92 July 22, 2021
3. #4070091 I close my eyes only for a moment, and the moment's gone. All my dreams pass before my eyes, a curiosity. Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind. 157 1 1.623 83.04Tsunami (bmo12) 83.04 83.04 November 20, 2024
4. #4070303 But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. 275 1 1.586 81.17Tsunami (bmo12) 81.17 81.17 November 18, 2024
5. #4070372 The learner, from his remote, strapped-in position, pushes one of four switches to indicate which of the four answers he thinks is the right one. If he gets it right, nothing happens and you go on to the next one. If he gets it wrong, you push a switch that buzzes and gives him an electric shock. You start with 15 volts and increase the number of volts by 15 for each wrong answer. The object is to find the shock level at which you disobey the experimenter and refuse to pull the switch. 490 1 1.522 77.90Tsunami (bmo12) 77.90 77.90 November 18, 2024
6. #4070360 Marcy, I won the lottery. Six numbers out of seven, that's $31,000. Isn't that freakin' amazing? It would have been $62,000, but someone else won the lottery. Oh my God... oh my God, that's you! 'Cause I took your numbers. You win the lottery too. Congratulations! Wait... that means I took half your money. That's like cheating. Yeah, you know what, I should just give it to you. So yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. But I mean, what are the chances that your numbers would be picked any more than mine, right? Oh my God, did you hear the greed in my voice? Because I sure did. I mean, I may as well have just come out and said, "That money's mine!" Ugh... this is how money ruins people. I think I'm gonna be sick. 714 1 1.517 77.65Tsunami (bmo12) 77.65 77.65 November 19, 2024

9. #4070221 You know, when I was a kid, food was food. Before our scientific magicians poisoned the water, polluted the soil, decimated plant and animal life. Why, in my day, you could buy meat anywhere. Eggs, they had. Real butter, fresh lettuce in the stores. 249 2 1.381 86.78Tsunami (bmo12) 68.53 68.53 April 13, 2024
10. #4070103 It doesn't matter what I say, so long as I sing with inflection that makes you feel I'll convey some inner truth or vast reflection. But I've said nothing so far, and I can keep it up for as long as it takes. 208 2 1.331 103.28retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 95.52 95.52 May 15, 2022

14. #4070352 To make a consistent fry, any manufacturer begins with uniform-sized and -shaped potatoes that are sliced into standard lengths and forms. Each day tens of thousands of potatoes enter a water line that flows rapidly through a long tube. Traveling now at thirty miles per hour, the potato surges through an iron mesh as sharp as ninja steel. What was once whole is now sliced into more than twenty perfect fries. But hidden within this Cadillac process is the genesis of another Cinderella story: the tater tot, born from the scraps and orphans that the french fry process leaves behind. 586 3 1.293 114.03retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 96.49 96.49 May 15, 2022
15. #4070401 You say I'm a dreamer. We're two of a kind, both of searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find. So perhaps I should leave here, yeah, go far away.

17. #4070354 The wise speak only of what they know, Grima son of Galmod. A witless worm have you become. Therefore be silent, and keep your forked tongue behind your teeth.

19. #4070066 For as long as a single man is forced to cower under the iron fist of oppression, as long as a child cries out in the night, or an actor can be elected president, we must continue the struggle. 193 2 1.269 154.36KiddieX (emyrr) 151.71 151.71 January 31, 2019
20. #4070434 The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the television screen is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen emerges as raw experience for those who watch it. Therefore, television is reality, and reality is less than television. 309 2 1.266 95.61retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 90.16 90.16 May 24, 2022
21. #4070477 But in spite of the fact that a man has become fantastic in this fashion, he may nevertheless (although most commonly it becomes manifest) be perfectly well able to live on, to be a man, as it seems, to occupy himself with temporal things, get married, beget children, win honor and esteem - and perhaps no one notices that in a deeper sense he lacks a self. About such a thing as that not much fuss is made in the world; for a self is the thing the world is least apt to inquire about, and the thing of all things the most dangerous for a man to let people notice that he has it. The greatest danger, that of losing one's own self, may pass off as quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, that of an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc., is sure to be noticed. 771 1 1.265 137.78retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 137.78 137.78 November 16, 2023
22. #4070207 Always look on the bright side of life. Always look on the light side of life. If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten, and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly chumps; just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing. 301 1 1.260 130.53KiddieX (emyrr) 130.53 130.53 November 19, 2022
23. #4070073 The painter will produce pictures of little merit if he takes the works of others as his standard; but if he will apply himself to learn from the objects of nature he will produce good results. 193 1 1.259 137.21retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 137.21 137.21 May 4, 2023

27. #4070347 You're being naive, Nancy. Those people, they're not wired like me and you, okay? They don't spend their lives trying to get a look at what's behind the curtain. They like the curtain. It provides them stability, comfort, definition. 233 2 1.209 76.79Tsunami (bmo12) 60.01 60.01 April 13, 2024
28. #4070290 It is a contradiction in terms and ideas to call anything a revelation that comes to us at second hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication. After this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner, for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it was made to him. 510 1 1.208 131.61retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 131.61 131.61 April 22, 2023
29. #4070464 The astronomical theories that are now recognized, in retrospect, as genuinely scientific features of the intellectual revolution in the seventeenth century were developed in a convulsive flurry of changes that included studies of natural magic, witches, Paracelsus, and the enigmatic and obscurantist follies of those who claimed to represent divine or satanic interventions in human affairs. 393 4 1.202 116.01retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 72.03 72.03 February 11, 2023

32. #4070277 Now that it was evening, they encamped by the river of forgetfulness, whose water no container can hold. It is necessary for all to drink a fixed amount of the water, but some do not have the wisdom to keep from drinking more than this amount. As one drinks one becomes forgetful of everything. In the middle of the night when they were asleep there was thunder and an earthquake, and then suddenly just like shooting stars they were borne upward, each in a different direction to his birth. 491 1 1.178 122.01KiddieX (emyrr) 122.01 122.01 November 19, 2022
33. #4070241 For example, tomorrow we will demonstrate to all interested parties a new and extremely interesting power source, which is atomic in nature and which can supply a form of electric power for entire countries for the cost of a few dollars. 237 1 1.169 121.15KiddieX (emyrr) 121.15 121.15 November 19, 2022

38. #4070149 Isn't that something? That is pretty. I like these kind of paintings. And you know me, shoot, there's a minute or two left here, let's have us a happy tree. We'll just take the knife, maybe we'll have an old birch tree that lives right here. Let's just let it run all the way up here. Now, you could have left the birch tree inside of the oval, but I sort of like it when it sneaks out a little bit. But when you do your painting, you make that decision. If you want him to live inside that oval, you put that rascal in there and keep him in there. 548 1 1.150 125.25retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 125.25 125.25 April 22, 2023

47. #4070385 It often seems to me that's all detective work is, wiping out your false starts and beginning again. And it is just what some people will not do. They conceive a certain theory, and everything has to fit into that theory. If one little fact will not fit it, they throw it aside. But it is always the facts that will not fit in that are significant. 348 2 1.123 86.99Paul (big_d_paul) 78.93 78.93 November 17, 2023

49. #4070229 If we were to use this statement as a varying symbol by which to rank writers for clearness, we might, I think, get something like the following: Swift, Macaulay, and Shaw would say that Andre was hanged. Bradley would say that he was killed. Bosanquet would say that he died. Kant would say that his mortal existence achieved its termination. Hegel would say that a finite determination of infinity had been further determined by its own negation. 448 1 1.122 122.21retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 122.21 122.21 November 16, 2023

56. #4070310 The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back. I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas. 573 1 1.110 120.88retired, for now ᐢ.‸.... 120.88 120.88 February 16, 2023

Or that look in a man's eyes when he realizes he's minus a leg and his blood is seeping out.

He did not do so, however, because he knew that it was useless. Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference. Whether he went on with the diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same. He had committed - would still have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper - the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it.

228. #4070208 1.a) [MAN] A man ordered 2,000 drums of pink ping pong balls in Paris, France. Each drum contained 100 pink ping pong balls. He paid $120 (80 Euros!) per drum, which means he spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls. 1.b) {BALL} These pink ping pong balls measured 40mm (how many inches?) and were given a 1 star rating [1 star?]. [FRIEND] His friends all asked him, "why did you order so many pink ping pong balls, how can you afford to spend that much, and what are you going to do with them?" His answer: "I'll tell you tomorrow." [MAN] Every day his friends asked the same question, and every day he gave the same answer: "I'll tell you tomorrow." {BALL} The pink ping pong balls started decreasing in quantity: only 189,000 left, and then only 172,000, and then 163,000, and then 147,000, etc. {BALL} One day 90% of the pink ping pong balls were gone (100% - 10% = 90% right?). His friends were really feeling frustrated with him now and demanded an explanation, "Tell us what the &^%$ [blip] you're doing with all of these @#^& pink ping pong balls!" [MAN] The man's response: "I spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls for a project. I have now used 90% of those, as you have observed. I promise to tell you tomorrow." [FRIEND] His friends decided to wait one more day and pronounce the alphabet to kill some time: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ then wrote a code word with strange signs: /a/&B#R{+1}>>[Bb] = X0 - 3 + @a rooftop ^ 32 + 12443678923458789 && 1 2 3 < 4. . The next day they were gathered in the man's house for the big revelation. The man stated, "Of the 200,000 pink ping pong balls I ordered I have 137 left. Would anyone like them?" His friends all groaned and said, "[---] no! Give us an answer!" The man began again, "Friends, I am about to unveil a great invention." He took a deep breath...and died. His 7 friends would never know why the man spent $240,000 on 200,000 pink ping pong balls, and neither will you. 1949 1 0.685 112.22deroche (deroche1) 112.22 112.22 February 14, 2019
