Uh??? Nothing in the world (natural world, not society, which is artificial) gives us any purpose or law. Thus we are free. If your life has a purpose, then it's human-made, thus artificial. Sit in a forest alone during a whole day and appart from eating/sleeping you won't have any purpose in reach. Add more people but, not much will change. The idea of purpose only comes from habits. But at least we are free, are we not ?

"What if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' [...] Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine!'" The Gay Science, Nietzsche What if once you died, your life restarted, again and again, without any changes, in an eternal recurrence ? Each second would weight a lot more, that is, an eternity. Would you still sacrifice your present for your future ?

I fear despair. This reminds me of a TV serie called 'Monk', in which the main character Adrien Monk has about 400 phobias. Among them are the fear of milk, bees, blenders, bees in blenders, soccer riots, ladders, fear itself, elevators, mushrooms, clouds and round things in general. He is nonetheless the best policeman in the world lol.

This is just a matter of definition.The word "accident" means something we did not wanted to happen. If you accept the laws of physic, then you're right.

That is why I did not finished my last sentence...because if you don't find the key, you can still try harder. I did not meant to be morbid, sorry if it looked that way.

Well first if future and past don't exist it may redefine your vision of life. Secondly, the point of things...life as you said isn't that difficult to find because there isn't any. The question is not a problem, the answer is. If life is absurd, and if time don't exist, then you should only live in the present, you shouldn't expect anything of the future and shouldn't care about the past. The real question actually is, how to live in the present ? Camus said: "The only serious question in life is whether to kill yourself or not". If you can't find how to live in the present...

This thread is called "Deep thoughts" for a reason so try to argue a bit more please. You look lost... It's off-topic discussion here !

Hmm maybe there are aliens on Earth, maybe not. To choose between yes or no, I'd say yes, for almost the same reasons as you, but does it actually matters ? Why should we care, as long as they are peaceful ? (obviously they are, granted they exist, or else we'd be dead) About your vision of time, I'd say it is a bit contradictory because if each choice create a universe, then there is no need for time. No past, no future, just different universes. It would be like a film, because a film is actually just a superposition of pictures. In the quantum gravity there is no time, thus "our" world is perhaps just a superposition of quantum positions.Then, just as colours don't really exists, time is just an illusion. This may be a bit hard for non-scientists, however you described yourself as "nerdy", so I believe there won't be any problems lol. Glad you agree with me, if everyone could be like you !

Ike from Fire Emblem. A true hero, a deep character, a real model. "We are all family. We will try to understand one another, even when we disagree."

Right, but sometimes criticisms are constructives, and well that is the purpose of criticisms, point out what could be better, and then you can evolve and become a better person, or just find hope in the future, in a possible evolution, because living without hope is not living. Anyway you must never dwell on what you are, nobody is perfect right, but you can at least try to be better, even if you won't reach perfection. Just do not lock yourself away in your little routine with vapid problems, what matters is to enjoy your brief moment on Earth...not in today's societies, but on Earth ! (look at the sky during a long time and you will understand)

Finally a truly bad thing. Other posts makes me laugh.

To me, this 'flat earth movement' is obviously coming from a necessity for some people to distinguish themselves from others. People are rebels (although not deeply), thus they need to be seem different (in most cases to pretend themselves superior to others) and it can appear even in the most absurd ways (like this one). While confronting people with their own certainties is arguably good, the opinions criticized must have more weak points than the opinion defended, in order to keep some credibility (totally neglected in this example).

Einstein said: 'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.' You are obviously too young to know what you are talking about (naivety is what makes children so lovely I guess). When your finites hopes will be crushed by that divine and infinite stupidity, you will realize that what matter is true happiness, and that humans thinks they're unhappy because they don't know they are happy. Find your light in the abbyss of logic. Even so, let's admit you will succeed. What would you have changed ? Nothing. Life would still be absurd, death would still await us all, and each one of those stubborn actions would still be vain. Once you have realized that, we can start arguing.

You can't ask everyone to be less stupid. There are strong and weak people, outsiders and sheeps, and you just have to deal with it. No point dwelling on things you can't change, just accept it and move on. Making everyone think is the same as creating Heaven on Earth, without God (I'm an atheist, mind you). Life is a test. PS: no offense, but you seem to have quite a high opinion of yourself.

Well my advice to avoid routine is to keep trying to mentally change (conception of the world etc). Then your thoughts will eventually change your actions, and most importantly will keep changing, and you won't be struck in the routine, nor in anything else. You will be free.

Well the real question is : Have aliens already contacted us, and if yes, do you think it is hidden by our governments ?

You should read the previous posts.

I didnt said that because the rock can't change it is perfect. You judge if a thing is perfect or not based on their values (subjectives you are right). You didnt created the rock, thus it is not meant to have a value to you. Does that mean it is not perfect ? Well let's debate.

We need a definition of perfection then. Mine: is perfect what can't be better. Simple and revelant enough.

Everything is perfect except humans. It doesn't make sense to ask if a rock could be better because it can't change, however humans can. Perfection is only an ideal, a goal, but can never be reached by us conscious beings, precisely because we are conscious.

If you don't believe in God (no matter which) then there is no absolute laws and thus everything become justifiable ("everything is permitted",see Dostoievski). But logic alone won't lead us anywhere, except to madness (see Ivan Federovitch Karamazov). To me, there is indeed no absolute, universal law, laws depends on people, context...but considering that us humans are (ideally) equals, a moral action thus respects others' life despite our differences, and killing people in gays bars is fortunately not moral. Don't worry, if you are religious there is still work to do (can a perfect god judge impefects beings?), here is only my opinion as an atheist. But if anyone could question themselves as we are doing now...

Lol talking about a coordinated attck with rails, twins and whatever is irrevelant since in 90% of the battle most of people plays are with random allies you cannot coordinate with (my teammates are usually just wandering around, but I don't generalize ofc). Btw 30s to kill a guy or two is huge. Talk about Rail vs Isida is irrevelant as well since it is two completly differents ranges. Ofc I can take down an Isida if I'm 100m away. Pleasr also consider that things can be differents from a gras to another. My point is that Isida is OP at close range. It can hide behind a heavy tank, well I guess it is part of the concept. PS: I use weapons (currently Ricochet) because they requires skill, not because they are OP. PS(2): nerf=minor change, no one is talking about turn Isida into a banana-laucher or whatever.

Just faced 2 M3 Isidas in Island, impossible to kill even one unless you start drugging, but you better not as else you'll have two drugging Isidas even more impossibles to kill. Due to their range, cannot flee as well. Even mines doesn't work as they can kill you without touch the mine because of their OP range. A battle with 2 Isidas or more in the ennemy team is already lost. Isida is now the best close-range weapons, as even if Firebird deals massive damages, it doesn't heal itself all the time. Also a tank with an Isida hidden behind is almost impossible to kill as well. My point is not that all the previous things have to be nerfed, but a few of them, to make things more balanced. I often destroy 2 or 3 Firebirds in a row thanks to my paint Inferno, but why can't I do the same with Isida (even wearing Electra) ? PS: sorry for this block of text, just realized ^^.

Let's imagine I had fully MUed the damages of my M3 Railgun(before the update). With the update I would now have an M4 Railgun. But if today YOU buy an M3 Railgun, MU it all the way up to M4 will cost you far more than it cost me. This results in an imbalance between equipments bought/MUed before and after the update. Not that I'm complaining about paying for parameters I don't mind of (as Xenopobia said), but the real issue is that for the same amount of crystals spent, an item will be weaker/stonger (I'm talking about the main parameters such as protection or damages) depending on if it has been upgraded after/before the update. PS: feel free to ask me to reformulate if you don't find my post clear enough.

Before the uptade, everybody increased parameters like protection or damage, and now others less useful parameters are increased as well, for 0 crystals. Now upgading the first steps of an item cost way more than before, even though step cost is more uniform over the 50 steps. Example: I wanted to buy M3 Hammer and to upgrade it to 100dmg/shot=> 30k crystals. Now it's about 10 times as expensive ! Problem: MU an equipment you've just bought will cost way more than before. As a result, recently-bought equipments will be weaker than the older ones, because upgrading the new ones will be far more expensive. Conclusion: this update is BS.
