Everyone knows that if you have one wish and get no rules surrounding it you wish for unlimited wishes.
"No wishing for more wishes" is an implied rule though. It's like "don't punch somebody in the face" is an implied rule for board games, Milton Bradley doesn't have to put "no face punching" in the rules for every themed version of Monopoly. It's just known.
What.
No.
It's not implied, it's like the first thing you test for when you get wishes.
You don't test out a new board game by punching other players in the face.
There's only one thing I'd wish for anyway, so I'd just jump straight to that instead of fucking around with other wishes.
Yeah, you wish for omnipotence, then you can grant your own wishes.
bama likes to smirk instead of answering, sometimes
breakfast on sunday
bama: i'd like a bagel with egg and cheese and bacon
organichu: breakfast is my treat for letting me crash, get something fancier
bama, while chewing: *smirk*
organichu: o.o
Wait, did this really happen? Because there are photos of me smirking or giving a look of disapproval where I don't remember the cause.
Maybe I have multiple personality disorder.
oh shit
did you have a goatee?
oh my god! Maybe this is why I can't grow decent facial hair! Otherwise there would be no way to tell which me I was.
Of course, I don't have a goatee in any of those photos. So maybe the real me is an asshole.
Running errands on cold days is not as much fun, even though part of what I have to do is buy more yarn.
Get a bike.
Riding bikes is fun. Even on cold days.
I live in hill-town and have terrible knees from several hyperextensions. I'm happy to be able to get around without a cane some days, especially cold and wet ones like today.

Riemann I don't understand why I am getting under your skin lately. I am not trying to do that. The first time it was because I said I was not swayed by Passerbye's arguments for her personal beliefs (or something similar), and I simply wasn't. The second time it was because I called you dense because I felt you weren't understanding what I thought was a concise argument. I speak plainly and most of the time I don't mean to inject any kind of special meaning to the words I use.

Actually for the excellent card game Lunch Money, I instituted a house rule where after playing the card "Pimp Slap", you have to reach across and give a tap on the cheek to the defender if the card connects.

I'm not really into this relativistic outlook on perspectives, views and opinions (whatever you might want to call them). Someone is wrong and I'm going to tell them about it.
On the Internet.
yeah i am with you on this sarks
i mean i really am into politeness and consideration
and sometimes it's either not the appropriate time or place to disagree
and sometimes it's not worth the effort
but we need as a society an acceptable way to disagree with people
sometimes people are wrong, and we shouldn't always pretend as though being wrong is just an okay thing to be.
Also, I just saw this on the wikipedia page about Go. This is so freaking clever.
The board is not square; there is a 15:14 ratio in length to width, because with a perfectly square board, from the player's viewing angle the perspective creates a foreshortening of the board. The added length compensates for this
what the fucking fuck?
I know. It's super keen.
A related interesting bit is that 3d renderers don't actually use proper geometry when transforming a point from a 3d space into 2d so it can be displayed on your 2d screen. If you use the mathematicially correct numbers for the perspective ratio it just looks "weird". Programmers of 3d engines just use a fudged number and there is no commonly accepted value here, everyone just tweaks it until things "look right".

I intended my "belief" comment as just about deity/no deity. Not about the use of the word "belief" in any setting.
There are some atheists who will attempt to say for certain that no Gods exist whatsoever. I don't like those people. It's better to try and discount the existence of specific Gods but that isn't the core of atheism either. Atheism is just a lack of belief in a God or Gods. So I don't think your argument is accurate or necessarily challenging the right group here.

Man, you wish to become a genie and it's all downhill from there: You're stuck in a lamp. Let's be honest, a lamp is the Section 8 housing of the Elemental world.
Then you're waiting for a customer for a century at a time.
Then you finally get to pop out and grant a wish and the guy's like, "You don't even sound like Robin Williams."
