things you just dont understand

[Blackberry Polecat]

Why it seems like there are more people just watching The Hobbit/ Game of Thrones etc. than have read the novels. The amount of "no spoilers!!!11" comments online and so on.
I thought the Kindle was supposed to make reading more "accessible" and popular.

 

[Zan'theros]

How the hell anyone thought the Nissan Cube would be popular anywhere outside of Japan.

 

[Sweetheartz22]

Why we haven't flown another manned mission to the Moon. And why we're already sending a mission crew to Mars when we know so little about it. We already know full well these poor crew members will never see Earth again once they blast off for the Red Planet because our technology isn't advanced enough yet. Baby steps, peeps. We need to take baby steps.

It doesn't change the fact that people are lazy and don't like reading.

 

[DeCatt]

Therians and otherkin. I bet shrinks would have a field day if they stumbled upon a FYIAD meet.

There's nothing to do on the moon, though.

Well, maybe there is, I'm totally up for seeing a indoor colony built into the moon or something. There's just nothing too feasible or meaningful that can be done at this point in time.

It would be great to have more samples and information about the Moon, because it would improve our understanding of our local cosmology and geology. But that's very 'blue sky' stuff, so it is hard to persuade people to do that.

The treatment of the Messel fossil pit, in Germany, exemplifies this. Fossils in Messel provide a unique window into the global jungle that existed in the Eocene, in which some of the first primates evolved and radiated.

The German coal industry operated the pit as a mine and burnt the material...and then the German government attempted to turn it into a Landfill site. By some miracle Messel is now a UNESCO world Heritage site.

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Something tells me that baby steps aren't really their thing.

Humans are brave, curious, greedy, and endlessly stupid. We do not stutter helplessly over a gap - we leap full-force over it. And once we are on the other side, we do not feel the fear we once knew, we do not feel any remorse, we do not look back and think to stop. No. We just search for a bigger, more challenging gap to leap over.

It is just human nature to forever wonder, and be forever wanting to know. And we know by forever wondering.

You answered your own question.

 

[Zan'theros]

Therians and otherkin.

If you want, I can try to clear a few things up for you through PMs.

"One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

Finally, someone that actually got Niel Armstrong's words right!
It makes me feel good that there are people out there that know he said 'for a man' instead of 'for man'.

Give it time, The moon is rich with materials that are potential components for fusion reactions. Lots of He3. Mars is potentially very useful as well as it seems to have much higher concentrations of rare earth metals than earth by several magnitudes, such as Rhodium, which is worth about 46k USD a kilo.

No. I know perfectly well what otherkin believe themselves to be.
I just don't understand why they convince themselves that they are something completely fictitious.

It's not something that can easily be put into words. Hell, I'm not even sure why crazy shit like this happens to people (me included).

Though if you think about it, there are many unusual things in this world that defy explanation, no matter how hard ANYONE tries, yet have made their presence known in some way. Who's not to say that otherkin/therian activity is just one of those things? *looks thoughtfully at the sky*

 

[Hewge]

I am an otherkin - I believe that I am really an ass.
People frequently tell me that I am, in fact, a Hewge ass.

If you cannot understand me, then please... just do not judge me for what I believe myself to be.

Let us live in harmony.

Childhood trauma probably.

No offence, but please do not mix therian and otherkin beliefs.

To us old school therians it is a bit offensive.

 

[Alexxx-Returns]

I don't understand how people can forgive others for screwing them over.

 

[Rassah]

I don't understand how people can forgive others for screwing them over.

For me it's just bad memory. After a while I forget why I was mad at them, and soon after I forget I was mad at them. Other people's bad actions aren't worth enough of my time and energy to bother remembering.

 

[sniperfreak223]

why no one ever trusts my food...sure I once joked about baking a batch of cyanide muffins,but where would I get the cyanide? So now I have a bunch of Lemon Garlic chicken, garlic bread, penne alfredo with a homemade mushroom alfredo sauce and a pear-plum pie all to myself because neither my roommate nor her fiance trusts my cooking enough to eat it.

Oh well, there goes my diet.

Dayum, I would totally eat that stuff

But he didn't. Would you prefer he replaced the slash with an 'or'? Because that's exactly what it meant.

Dunno why you'd be offended, though. That offense itself seems like an insult to otherkins.

 

[Zan'theros]

It would take a lot to offend me, Kosdu and BRN; any possible offense in the comments is no more than a fly I can easily shoo away.

And besides, I always assumed that otherkin activity was a subdivision of the therian philosophy. Am I incorrect?
(Truly, I'm not 100% sure.)

 

[BRN]

It's like they're under the same umbrella of "identity things", but they're not really connected, you know?

I've been interested myself because of some quilava-things, but don't really want to choose a label.

 

[RedLeFrench]

I don't know why, but part of my hair is becoming blonder and blonder. It been happening for the past few months, but now people notice it... But why blond, I want either white or red ! Make up your mind, body.

 

[NekoXboy]

homophobia, racism, and bigotry in general. it's completely irrational. what's even worse is when people tie their bigotry to religion and a false notion of morality.

 

[KipperKay]

I dont understand racism, polygamy, athiesm, unfaithful partners, or how some people just can't see when things aren't working correctly.
