The Tough Questions w/ Mly

Apparently Zez seems to think that my advice is good enough, hilarious enough, or enough of both to warrant its own stickied topic in this forum. I've got nothing good to do most of the day, so I figured why not?

So ask away and I will answer.

I'm guessing this is part of your Ridiculously Long Plan of Doom?

No. Look at the completion percentage. It went up when the CC was made and hasn't went up since.

Failure

If you say so. You don't have to post here.

Na I want to post here and I have a question.
If the world where to come to an end. Would life start over on another planet and have another Jesus?

Civilization is built from two things: curiosity and creativity. Because of the latter of the two, religion of some sort will almost invariably develop among life forms that are rising to take control of their world. It probably already has on very distant planets. Religions must have some being to first conceive them in order to come about, so some parallels to the human prophets -- Jesus Christ, Moses (whose last name I can not recall, even if it was ever documented.), Sidharta Gautama (More commonly known as The Buddha.), and the like -- almost surely exist on some alien planet somewhere. Not anywhere close, mind you -- There's an estimated average of life with a civilization on par with our own on one planet per every five galaxies or so, if I recall -- but definitely somewhere in the vastness of the sphere around this little ball of earth and water with a radius of 13-odd billion (Or, according to recent unconfirmed mathematics, 170-odd billion) lightyears. As for how much in the entire universe, we don't know, because we can't even see all of it. What sort of religion they would make depends greatly upon the species' environment, natural psychology, and a whole slew of other things. But, assuming such things are similar to those of humans, similar religions will develop.

Is your Ridiculously Long Plan of Doom going to accomplish anything? What's it for? Is it just a plan? After completion, will it just be an explanation of the plan? Is it's status of just the plan, or it's execution? Will you have a Ridiculously Long Execution of Plan of Doom after this one is finished? Will you answer these questions one by one? Want some chocolate?

Yes, that's a secret, it's more the execution of the plan, no, of its execution, no I won't because it's already being executed, yes, and no thank you, respectively.

Okay, below is one of Zezima's "therapy sessions" with me, pulled from The INGPRO archive at TM, and posted here at his request:




[22:40:46 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Mly... ?

[22:40:57 15/01/10] Mly : Yes?

[22:41:12 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Do you cope with death?

[22:41:32 15/01/10] Mly : Cope with death?

[22:41:49 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Do you know how to, I mean.

[22:42:56 15/01/10] Mly : Well, I'm not very attached to many people.

[22:43:04 15/01/10] Mly : But I wouldn't recommend that route.

[22:43:05 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Oh...

[22:43:16 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Okay

[22:43:47 15/01/10] Mly : Talking about it will probably make you feel better. I don't have anything better to do.

[22:44:32 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Well... no one has died yet, but an unexpected disturbance has come up

[22:44:57 15/01/10] @ Zezima : My Grandma was found to have a severe Staphi infection all of a sudden...

[22:45:12 15/01/10] @ Zezima : And when they talked to her, she behaved odd

[22:45:36 15/01/10] @ Zezima : She seem all shooken up, and pale, was excited about things, and was teaching people things, and just all excited

[22:45:56 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Excited like... nervouse, and just redirecting it everywhere...

[22:46:23 15/01/10] @ Zezima : When asked about something she would normally detest, she just went along with it, and didn't mention certain aspects of it...

[22:47:05 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Other family members have had some, a few worse, but this one looks serious, and it wouldn't be as bad if it weren't just out of nowhere this hits us that she has it.

[22:47:25 15/01/10] @ Zezima : She got a prescription from a doctor for it, and when asked about it...

[22:47:43 15/01/10] @ Zezima : She just said she's too lazy to go get it. Which is frighteningly out of character.

[22:48:08 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I don't care about any of my family members except her, and one other. I just don't know how to look at this.

[22:48:13 15/01/10] @ Zezima : .....

[22:48:44 15/01/10] Mly : Hope she lives. Pray to whoever you pray to.

[22:48:48 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : Just try to calm down. Things always happen for a reason.

[22:49:13 15/01/10] Mly : In all likeliness it won't do any good for her condition, but it will make you feel better.

[22:49:31 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I... I guess

[22:50:06 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I'm trying as hard as possible to calm down...

[22:50:09 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : Just cherish the good nemories you have with her and try to make many more whole

[22:50:23 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Yes

[22:50:24 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : *while you still can

[22:50:38 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Yes...

[22:51:06 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : I never met any if my grandmas (or my Mom's dad), so looks like you have an advantage over me.

[22:51:40 15/01/10] Mly : Did they say what kind of Staph infection it is?

[22:52:07 15/01/10] Mly : Most aren't even dangerous, and from what I can tell by reading

[22:52:17 15/01/10] Mly : Wikipedia, it shouldn't affect her mental health.

[22:53:39 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Yes, it shouldn't...

[22:53:49 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...But, that's not how it affects people

[22:54:54 15/01/10] Mly : All I can tell you on the medical end is the following:

[22:56:11 15/01/10] Mly : Doctors are people too. Not only that, they know how the medical game works. If you can cajole them hard enough, they'll try to abuse glitches in the system to help you even if you and your family can't affor

[22:56:29 15/01/10] Mly : afford the procedures.

[22:57:04 15/01/10] Mly : But do it carefully.

[22:57:40 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Okay...

[22:59:20 15/01/10] @ Zezima : She has the localized skin infection...

[22:59:50 15/01/10] @ Zezima : That of a stye, or abscesses.

[23:03:55 15/01/10] Mly : The only other thing I can think to say is don't kill yourself on me.

[23:04:18 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Why?

[23:04:53 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : I feel your pain, Zez

[23:05:23 15/01/10] Mly : Think of other people. Other people will have to cope with your death.

[23:05:34 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I realize that...

[23:05:42 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Thanks, Ash

[23:06:40 15/01/10] Mly : I'm just trying to help.

[23:06:56 15/01/10] Ash The Hedgehog : I've never had anyone close to me die, but I have had my favorite, best and most joyous memories die. If it's the right reason, that can feel like losing a loved one.

[23:10:26 15/01/10] @ Zezima : Yes...

[23:12:20 15/01/10] @ Zezima : NO.

[23:12:35 15/01/10] @ Zezima : http://www.medicinenet.com/staph_infection/page2.htm

[23:12:49 15/01/10] @ Zezima : "What is antibiotic-resistant Staph aureus?"

[23:12:53 15/01/10] @ Zezima : That's what she has.

[23:15:20 15/01/10] Mly : Maybe you should just go to bed right now. At the very least, you'll feel physically refreshed when you wake up.

[23:17:51 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...My mind is too restless

[23:19:26 15/01/10] Mly : Which means your body is probably already tired from dealing with your restless mind. Lay down, close your eyes, and don't try to get up.

[23:21:01 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I'll try...

[23:21:46 15/01/10] Mly : You're not trying. You're not trying to not get up. You're not trying to get up.

[23:22:00 15/01/10] Mly : If that makes any sense.

[23:22:18 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...That makes sense

[23:23:34 15/01/10] Pinata : anyone here

[23:23:36 15/01/10] Pinata : wanna have...

[23:23:48 15/01/10] Pinata : a nice

[23:23:50 15/01/10] Pinata : game of chess?

[23:24:10 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...No

[23:24:14 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I just...

[23:24:17 15/01/10] Mly : Pinata. Out. Now. I'm not in the mood for your idiocy and I'm fairly certain Zezima isn't either.

[23:25:07 15/01/10] Pinata : ... that hurt ;~;

[23:25:10 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...Thanks, Mly...

[23:26:08 15/01/10] Jmh : Cookie

[23:28:38 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I just need to lay down...

[23:28:45 15/01/10] @ Zezima : .....

[23:28:55 15/01/10] Jmh : Have a cookie. Cookie

[23:29:06 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ....Thanks

[23:29:20 15/01/10] Jmh : You are welcome.

[23:30:37 15/01/10] Pinata : What's the matter zezzy?

[23:30:43 15/01/10] Pinata : Will sex make if better :3

[23:31:01 15/01/10] Jmh : ....... That was uncalled for.

[23:31:06 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ......

[23:31:18 15/01/10] Pinata : what not with me

[23:31:25 15/01/10] Pinata : with a random stripper I'll pay :3

[23:31:30 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I'm leaving now...

[23:31:43 15/01/10] Jmh : ......

[23:31:53 15/01/10] @ Zezima : ...I mean this with all of my sincerity, Pinata

[23:32:11 15/01/10] @ Zezima : I will never trust you again...




I'll find the other two with Zezima and the one with Sketch and post them later on.

Why would I ask you any questions? I don't think you're clever or anything.

Zez apparently does, seeing as he asked me to do this and stickied it, and I've not got much else to do. I never said you had to ask me a question either.

Good, I won't.

how many fingers am I holding up at the momment?

Zero.

Hahaha! So clever! Classic!

Mly wrote:Zero.

I have been enlightened!

I would have hoped Zez would have had higher standards. Anyway, since all I want to do in this thread is troll, I'll stop posting.

anyway Mly a real question:

How did athesim become as widespread as it is today?

Laconic version: The French Revolution really sort of started it off, though other factors, such as Marx and Nietzsche, played a part.

Non-laconic version: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atheism




I was hoping for more personal help-type questions, thus why it's called "Sagacious Advice," and not "Random Bits of Wisdom." Generally, Google can help you with any information-related queries you have. But ah, whatever.

I'll ask one.
How can someone get a life?

Start interacting with humans in the real world. Voila! Instant life.*

*Instant life may require some training of social skills to activate. Results may vary. Mly is not responsible for any loss of friends, items, friends' items, mental stability, or virginity caused by instant life.

Alright....
How do you get a little cousin to stop annoying the f*** out of you without hurting their feelings at all?

That depends on what they would rather do than bother you. If you have no clue, I do happen to know that many young children like drawing, so try plucking some blank paper from the nearest source and telling him/her to go into another room and draw. Or, depending upon where the computer you're using is at and if there are lockable doors in the building that you're allowed to lock, you could just lock him/her off from you. Ignore the whining for a while (It doesn't mean their feelings are hurt. It just means they're bored and want to play with you regardless of how annoying it is and whether they realize it or not, as prepubescent kids often are and do.) and the ADD innate in all young children will kick in and they'll find something else to do.

How do I get money without having to work, or having to sign a contract, or taking a loan, or doing anything that could have bad consequences?
