Why life has no load/save game.

[sToNeDpEnGuIn420]

Me and sasha figured this out well doing random shit outside the gym. Okay well there was this hole that like went down really far. So i was like damn i wish life had a save and load game, so i could save jump down there, and if i didnt like it just re-load. Well if you could do that, you would jump down there probably not like it so you load. But then since you never learned what was down there you would just try it again and load again. In turn creating a cycle that you were stuck in. Of jumping in the hole and re-loading. Yup we figured it out.

ok, then maybe you can help me out...

where do babies come from??

I wish I could have saved my friends and family lost....

Actually, the reason probably has more to do with the lack of a place to store this information about how the universe was set up at the time of our saving, since that would entail saving the knowledge of every atom of the universe-saving device within the device itself, plus all the information about the arrangement of mass and energy throughout the cosmos, which is somehow observed and recorded instantaneously, something that violates many laws of physics. Also it would be just as physically impossible to take all that stored information and turn it into a working model of the universe. Just a couple of the practical problems.

P.S. This is all assuming we don't live in The Matrix of course. Who knows?

Try pushing on the bottoms of your eyeballs.

DUde you hurt my brain :( lol!

how do u know theres nothing like this??

cuz dont we only use like 10% of are brain or some shit what about the other 90%....

[ermitonto]

That's just an urban legend. We use 100% of our brains, and there's scientific evidence to back it up. Why would we evolve these large complex brains just to use a tenth of it?

[Anonymous]

oooh i always thought u only used 10%

damn and i was all rdy to whip out my other 90% and fast forward on u foos

[ermitonto]

Just in case anybody's doubtful:

Penguin, I totally agree. Basically, our mistakes are learning experiences, especially if we are conscious & remained empowered over our own lives.

Recently I was asked, if I could go back in time & change anything in my life, what would I change? Now, my life has not been a picnic by any stretch, but I could honestly say I would change nothing. My experiences have taught me so much & made me the strong & quirky person I am now, so I'm thankful for everything that has happened.

Life is such an amazing journey if you're awake enough to live it.

damn... there goes my argument of "so what if weed kills brain cells??? we only use 10% of our brain anyway, i have plenty of extras"

now i guess i have to try and convince them that weed doesn't kill brain cells

[ermitonto]

But of course, that too can be exposed as a myth.

http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/

MYTH: MARIJUANA KILLS BRAIN CELLS. Used over time, marijuana permanently alters brain structure and function, causing memory loss, cognitive impairment, personality deterioration, and reduced productivity.

FACT: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

(1) NO BRAIN DAMAGE SEEN IN MARIJUANA-EXPOSED MONKEYS

Two new scientific studies have failed to find evidence of brain damage in monkeys exposed to marijuana, undercutting claims that marijuana causes brain damage in humans. The studies were conducted by two independent research groups. The first, conducted by Dr. William Slikker, Jr. and others at the National Center for Toxicological Research in Arkansas examined some 64 rhesus monkeys, half of which were exposed to daily or weekly doses of marijuana smoke for a year. The other, by Gordon T. Pryor and Charles Rebert at SRI International in Menlo Park, California, which is still published, looked at over 30 rhesus monkeys that had inhaled marijuana one to three times a day over periods of 6 to 12 months. Neither study found evidence of structural or neurochemical changes in the brains of the monkeys when examined a few months after cessation of smoking. The new results cast doubt on earlier studies purporting to show brain damage in animals. The most famous of these was a study by Dr. Robert Heath, who claimed to find brain damage in three monkeys heavily exposed to cannabis. Heath's results failed to win general acceptance in the scientific community because of the small number of subjects, questionable controls, and heavy doses. Subsequent rat experiments by Dr. Slikker and others reported persistent structural changes in the brain cells of rats chronically exposed to THC. The studies did not show that pot kills brain cells, as alleged by some pot critics, but they did show degeneration of the nerve connections between brain cells in the hippocampus, where THC is known to be active. Although scientists have regarded the animal evidence as inconclusive, some critics have cited it as proof that pot causes brain damage in humans. Thus Andrew Mecca, the director of California Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, recently stated on the Ron Reagan, Jr. talk show (Sep. 2, 1991) that marijuana "leaves a black protein substance in the synaptic cleft" of brain cells, a claim apparently based on Heath's monkeys. When asked by a NORML member for his evidence, Mecca sent a list of three references, none of which turned out to have anything to do with brain damage. Although the new monkey studies found no physical brain damage, they did observe behavioral changes from marijuana. Slikker's group found that monkeys exposed once a day to the human equivalent of four or five joints showed persistent effects throughout the day. Slikker says that the effects faded gradually after they were taken off marijuana, and were not detectable seven months later, when they were sacrificed. Autopsies did reveal lingering chemical changes in the immune cells in the lungs of monkeys that had inhaled THC. However, Slikker's group concluded that experimental exposure to marijuana smoke "does not compromise the general health of the rhesus monkey."

Stoner monkeys are cool.

Rhesus Monkeys, Christ, base your opinions on rhesus monkeys. We might be better off.
