Which is a plot point then used to excuse away the fact that they have an underage Natalie portman taking instructions from a pedo behind the camera. I'm hoping you're not, but I've seen people use that to say it was ok in the context of the movie. Like, gross.
Apparently if your tongue isn't long or flexible enough, the Wikipedia has suggestions, ranging from months of flexing and tongue exercises, to just fucking snipping your frenulum.
"It is possible" lmao, like yeah, it's also "possible" to put my dick in my butt if I cut my ass off and hold it in front of me XD
I have stress dreams sometimes and about old jobs. Like in my dream I'll wake up and suddenly remember I'll need to be at a job I haven't been at in years. But, the time has still passed. Like I'll be wondering why they scheduled me when I haven't been there in years, and then get even more stressed cuz I can't remember how to do anything.
Another one, I work from home. Off hours if I'm watching a movie or playing a game I'll sometimes look over to check my work laptop :/
Mate, religious people didn't fill the museums with dinosaurs without feathers. Scientists gather evidence.... then fill the gaps. Flat earth, earth is the center, quantum theory, quasi-crystals, the list goes on and on, if anything is disingenuous it's saying that scientists DON'T fill the gaps for the things we don't know. THAT'S ALL WE'VE EVER DONE. Religious or not, no evidence, some evidence, or "a lot" relative to our tiny corner of space, humanity, historically, fills the gaps so we can pretend to understand things we've only just recently become capable of even observing
Except it's COMPLETELY relevant, because ALL of the evidence you're talking about is what humanity has gathered throughout our tiny blip of existence. It doesn't matter what we should have done, if your whole point is "don't fill the gaps with stuff we don't know," using scientists etc. as an example, when, historically, we've done nothing BUT "fill the gaps," and incorrectly at that.
Like yes, there's evidence to support the theories, but that does not change the HISTORICAL FACT that our theories are CONSTANTLY CHANGING based on new evidence that we now have to "slot in" and make work with the current evidence..... Until we find more evidence and start all over. We're just.... way too overconfident with our "facts" when we literally don't know shit. Trying to pretend we understand, like a monkey thinking a microwave is a flashlight
I completely agree. Unfortunately, we don't do that. We fill the gaps. That's what we did with the dinosaurs, with everything. Where we don't have proof, we have theories. They are not fact. But presented as such by way too many people. I'm simply comparing the two and saying how ridiculous it is to say ANYTHING is "VERY unlikely" or "very likely" when all we really have is theory. It's just.... Incredibly ignorant with the little amount of info we have. So to go one way and fill the gaps while claiming we don't, but go the other and guffaw because there isn't evidence, is hilarious.
Edit: it's just, that's literally how we've ALWAYS done it, historically. Humanity was taught that earth was center of the solar system and that it was flat. Until we learned better. We thought washing hands between operating on patients was crazy, until it wasn't. Tryna say scientists don't fill gaps, where you livin
And yet we still have museums filled with dinosaurs without feathers, and there are people that preach the big bang theory as fact. Shit, we still have people thinking the earth is flat. So, some scientists might be OK saying they don't know, but humanity as a whole will take any idea, theory or not, and run with it. So, sorry, but yeah, some scientists are filling the gaps with evil sky wizards ;)
No, I just think we're missing a lot. The evidence we can gather is from a very teeny tiny section of the "universe-spanning crime scene." It reminds me of The Expanse, they find something they don't understand and they compare it to monkeys playing with a microwave:
"Push a button, a light comes on inside, so it’s a light. Push a different button and stick your hand inside, it burns you, so it’s a weapon. Learn to open and close the door, it’s a place to hide things. Never grasping what it actually did, and maybe not even having the framework necessary to figure it out. No monkey ever reheated a frozen burrito."
Like yeah, astronomers/cosmologists/astrophysicists are smart compared to the average human, but the average human is smart compared to a chimp. Are we even capable of putting the pieces together that we're getting?
"Highly unlikely to be true" based on our teeny tiny frame of reference is wild. Remember when it was crazy to believe dinosaurs had feathers? There was no evidence of it..... Until there was. And that's just staying local to the planet.
Also, the size of the universe and how much we're able to observe DOES matter. Using my plate metaphor again, imagine a graphic on the plate. The chip you got is white. There would never be any evidence of other colors, or of the picture as a whole, until you start looking for and seeing other pieces.
I do completely agree that as long as humanity has found no evidence there's no reason to humor the idea. But millennia of experience in our corner of space is a fart in the wind in the grand scheme of things, and lack of evidence in an isolated system should not be taken as proof to the contrary. That's all I was saying.
A human saying they haven't seen something in the universe and using that to say said thing is unlikely is the same thing as a goldfish in a bowl saying an octopus is unlikely
Oh no I love a good discussion about this stuff! Also wasn't trying to sow discourse so hopefully that's not how it came across. I definitely agree, but the person I was replying too specifically referred to creation as one big crime scene across the universe and how we've investigated it, when we most certainly haven't. But yes, limiting our viewpoint to here on earth, I could definitely see people going either direction with it
