I'm p sure the most meaningful marker of alcoholism is a level of alcohol consumption that causes destructive effects to your health, relationships, etc, often with the associated understanding that you find it challenging to reduce your drinking (or eliminate it entirely) to the point where those effects are relieved.

but... then how come the Descartes one is so perfectly suited to the man himself?
You know about Descartes's evil demon, right?
yeah yeah. But god damn that man was a intellectually dishonest wanker and horribly sloppy about the difference between "things that are obviously true" and "things that I want to be true".
He was pretty good for his time.
Yeah but the best thinkers of his time were still huffing mercury in the hopes of it making them immortal.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
I still need to come up with a good name for my Gods, but right now I've settled with 'The Extants'.
Maxwell: God of power and control. Manifests in technology of oppression and imposition of will. Namely, weapons.
Descartes: God of deception. Manifests in lies, regardless of malicious or beneficial intent.
Laplace: God of determination. Manifests in genetics, instincts, or strong cultural pressures. Focuses on exhibiting the lack of free will.
Morton: God of sloth and ignorance. Manifests in technology that removes labor or satiates desires.
But the mathematicial foundation of the "uncertainty principle" is a direct result of a Laplace transformation.
They're named after the Demons, not the men themselves :P.
A little confusing, but I still like it that way.
then call them demons
But I wanted to call them Gods.
I mean, I guess I could call them demons.
I feel that is somehow too straightforward, though.

I mean, the first Renaissance painters were really fucking shitty at two-point perspective also.

Watching the NLDS kind of hoping Arizona wins since I think the Cards have a better chance verse them than the Brewers. But if the cards lose I think the Brewers have a better chance verse the Phillies and I don't want the Phillies to win anything.

Because you're a lamentable piece of shit.
Fuck the Phillies. They are the Yanks of the NL. Plus I am rooting for my Cardinals but I don't think they are going to pull it off. I was surprised they beat out Atlanta to get into the playoffs. The bullpen isn't that great but they have the best hitting line up in the NL so it balanced along with a hot streak.
Do they clear out colds? I'm coming down with one and I need a quick fix.
Also, don't they just taste like pure alcohol or do they cancel each other out?
They taste like delicious.

oh my god, someone just showed me.... it is a dude in boxer briefs but i still don't know if i can link it. it is funny to me but i don't wanna get banned.
To be honest I didn't really give them any followers.
For the most part their followers will tend to be unaware of the Gods themselves, they're just attempting to fulfill their goals.
Like the "High Priest" of Descartes is an intelligence officer for the small nation the story takes place in, who is attempting to manipulate public information in order to protect them from the threat of neighboring nations pressing down on them. As the plot progresses, he gets more and more extreme in his views of what qualifies an acceptable lie for the benefit of another, and eventually he manifests the God.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
What kind of George Washington-hating kitten-kicking freedom-despising reprobate isn't pro-tonic?
Tonic is the one drinkable non-alcoholic thing on the average plane flight!
It goes with gin and you don't have to shake ice cubes and garnish shit with ferns and shit
Quinine!
TONIC
one user: five stars "it was awesome!"
another use: one star "this will make you die."
Ok, so, do I average those...?
But I wanted to call them Gods.

I approve of you, sir.

Sort of, yeah.
Anyway, weren't there many sides to this thing?
That church might prefer demons to gods
while followers might go duh, it's gods
huh
... all my posts should look like that.

I was with you until your dismissal of diet coke.

Wisdom.

No, Feral.
No.
If you want something that fish fuck in, sure.

I'm not losing italics in Chrome with either the old-school theme or the default theme.

you suck variable

i guess that is not nudity.
NSFW link, did not image link it
I have to buy those boxer briefs. Look at where the blaster is.
You sound like my aunt, Sarksus.
Do gin and tonics cure colds?
... Yeah, sure!
(No they don't taste like pure alcohol. There's kind of a bitter/sweet/herbal thing going depending on the tonic water.)

Is there a lightsaber version? :winky:
Man, tonight should be drunk night.
