Should I interpret this as "atheist" or "one who does not believe in senses?"

One who believes only in deities that can be sensed, possibly. An empiricist?

I don't know to call that pessimistic or realistic, so I'll call it both. My opinion is that someone will create a way to prevent global warming, I hope.

That'd have to be something fantastically revolutionary.

Such as... I don't know... switching to non-fossil fuels? :eek:

(Also, I didn't see any cracking going on on Dallerdin's desktop. Unless you count what could be ripped CDs of Final Fantasy...)

However, I would dearly like to know what conspiracy plan he is laying out in MSWord.

Spidweb Demographics in General

Member # 2984
Profile Homepage #4
quote:
COMPOSITE SPIDWEBBER
The composite spidwebber is an 18-year-old American citizen of typically varied but mostly white ethnic makeup, who has just graduated from high school. He's a man, but he's not very masculine at all. Although he thinks everyone is somewhat bisexual, he's quite sure that he's straight. This apparent contradiction may be explained by his general lack of success with the ladies -- he's a virgin, but he seems to know his way around internet porn -- or by his vaguely Christian upbringing, which he rejected several years ago in favor of humanistic atheism. English was his first language, and he sometimes corrects the grammar of others. He enjoys arguing with other people, and sometimes insulting them.
About 12 out of 16.

And yes, you got TM pretty accurately there...

Well, one reason I didn't think to look for anyone was that I slept until about seven hours later. I noticed that Salmon said "some kind of chat this is", but that must have been either before or after the actual chat took place.

*BUMP*

The chat is going on now. AIM room spidweb. Join if you can.

I was in the chatroom "spidweb" for 10 hours, from 3 hours before the start to 7 hours after it. I have a complete log.

However, the chat appears to have not existed. The only thing that happened was screw salmon entering about 4 hours ago.

I was in the right chatroom, too. I saw Tyranicus' invitation just now, and clicked okay, and joined the same chatroom I was already in.

So in which parallel universe did this chat occur?

Edit - Specifically:

quote:
[01:36] RealArancaytar: Now let us wait for the others...
[07:12] *** screw salmon has joined the chat.
[07:12] screw salmon: some chat room
[07:19] *** screw salmon has left the chat.
[11:02] RealArancaytar: It appears that this particular chat was a tad... disappointing.

It'd be 4 AM for me, until which I will try to get some sleep (5 hours).

Incidentally, nobody will keep you from joining early. I'll be idling in the room from now until then, probably, so I don't forget.

[PPP] The long-awaited search function in General
Law Bringer
Member # 2984

Sorry, I keep my inbox habitually full. I do have an email address though...

2. The member profiles are already stored separately - that's where I get the monthly statistics from! :)

3. That's a great idea!

4. I'm planning to add a lot of things in the search function right now; one of them is ordering the hits and another is browsing through several pages' worth of hits (so far, it can only display the first 300). Displaying the number of results wouldn't be difficult either.

Incidentally, the longest post stored so far is an article on abortion quoted by Ash Lael back in April last year. 44,000 characters...
