Eyes, up and to the left = liars.

We do that when recollecting something that actually happened too though. Because everybody knows that a shifty gaze looks suspicious liars will attempt to mask it by staring you down. On the flip side I can think of a few occasions where I knew somebody suspected me of lying even when I was truthful. So I try no to make any gestures that might be misconstrued as tells and I end up looking even more stiff and awkward. Basically I think all that stuff is kinda bs, especially considering confirmaton bias.

I've gazed deeply into the table and it says the world is going to end on 12/21/12.

Gaze upon the mighty bosoms! Heaving against that which cannot contain them.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm not changing it - anchors away boys!>> ^my15minutes:

ha!
also, it's navel-gazing.
unless transfixed by the navy, and not by one's own bellybutton.

As much as i'd like to go

To places i've never known,

Scared shitless to leave home,

And i don't want to go alone.

I miss the rewarding gaze

Of a friend from my younger days,

Didn't mind 'bout my selfish ways,

As he died i was miles away.

I hope he remembers how,

As i do when i look back now,

Though he'd bark at the slightest sound,

Would not bite for he knew not how.

And sometimes it's more than clear,

When morning comes early here,

And i know that the day is near,

Wasted days make for wasted years.

Now i'm vicious with appetite,

Sobering half a mind,

Dripping with stolen wine,

Awoken by something i dreamt.

Harboured by everything i have been witnessing.

Postcards and daydreaming

Get less embarrassing.

After the day is done,

I will be on the run -

So much for everyone, so much for everyone.

The showdown is endless here,

Under the burning sun.

As eyes roll toward me now,

I will drop my gun.

BTW the way they hope to fund this sounds hopelessly vague and unrealistic. Making it an unprecedented media event is all very well but you'll still need huge amounts of money before that. And even at the latter stage the public's gaze could well be diverted onto something else. And how exactly are these revenues generated? How many t-shirts are you expecting to sell?

Basically every video and article I have seen suggests a trip to Mars will require multiple countries cooperating to get the job done.

These guys are dreaming.

> I showed my friends the GW2 beta yesterday and they all scoffed at me "It's just a WoW rip off!"

of course they did.
as if WoW invented MPOGs, and not a ripoff of anything?

what better vested interest could they have, for saying so, than having now spent many $100's, on just 1 video game?
any game that charges to play is the ultimate ripoff.

tell your friends that, and bask in their dull gaze while the gears turn,
trying to rejustify it & think of a response.

For me I feel he's talking about the "shoe-gazing" style of British Indie music that lingered across the 80s and into the 90s. But I guess Indy/Indie means something altogether different these days.

Hahaha......happily married, so no angst with attracting women.

Doesn't have to be new, but originality would be nice. I mean, what in this guy's prattling has not been said by lonely guys since the beginning of time? He doesn't even repeat these ideas very articulately.

Why is it so sift-worthy? Seriously.

The fact that this video gets so many votes says volumes about the dominant demographic of the sift.>> ^papple:

We Are The Many

Ye come here, gather 'round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who've trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage

From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won't withdraw

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight

They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none

So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest

We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You can't divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can't buy

Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We are the many
You are the few

I haven't conflated anything. You've simply misconstrued everything I've said because of your belief that RNA is simple, or could spontaneously evolve. You think your simulation demonstrates the creation of information which could lead to a system that creates cellular life. This is false; such a system could never generate RNA of cellular life. Even if it could generate RNA, to evolve the correct sequences of RNA nucleotides to form even one protein would be impossible to achieve even over billions of years, let alone enough proteins to create a cell. There is no experiment which has demonstrated that RNA can spontaneously evolve and be capable of creating life, now or ever. There is also no experiment which shows life evolving from non-living matter.

The information is what designed and built the simulation, and its structure generates different arrangements of that information based on certain preprogrammed variables which do not change. You are not making anything truly new, rather you are just shuffling things around. Such a simulation could never evolve on its own outside of programming. Just as DNA could never evolve on its own. The digital information it contains transcends its medium, just as a story transcends the paper and ink it is written on. Information only comes from minds, and that is what DNA code points to.

>> ^dgandhi:
>> ^shinyblurry:
You're just illustrating my point. That program was designed and coded by a mind. It is the coded digital information which makes it possible.

So you are claiming that the designs are placed in the simulation by the programmer, that they are deceiving you when they claim that the car is designed by genetic selection?
There is information in the simulation, the information is in the physics and the randomly generated track, just as in our universe the physical constraints create conditions that privilege certain patterns in both chemistry and behavior. Since the only non-random input to the system is physics based on our own, are you claiming that physics is a "mind" ?
>> ^shinyblurry:
It is the same story for DNA, and there isn't any naturalistic explanation for where the digital information came from; rather we know that information comes from minds, just if we see a message written in the sand we know a mind was behind it.

Here you conflate the data with the structure, you miss the basic fact that there are many, not terribly complex, chemicals that self replicate. You seem to be unaware that RNA ( referenced in your little puff piece apologetics video) is both self sorting and self replicating, requiring effectively no external mechanism to enable the creation of a system which synthesis information in the same manner as the simulation I linked.
Again you refuse to have a serious conversation, as you will not even address my points, you claim things without evidence, and then "support" them with hyperbole. If you are not claiming that physics is a mind, then you have not even bothered to comprehend the most basic explanation of that you claim to be arguing against, you are instead arguing against your own fever dream strawman, and not addressing any of us at all.
If you intend to navel gaze, please use your navel, the internet consist mostly of real people, Poe's law suggests you may even be one of them, so please at least attempt to seriously interact with us.
