How do you feel about the world?

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)

It's a pretty nutty thing

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)

How do you feel about the whole "soul" thing? It makes no sense to me that a person, just an arrangement of atoms and molecules, suddenly has an immaterial portion when they're made of elements originating from the Earth.

I see no reason to believe in a soul.

Humans evolved from simpler life forms over many many years, all the way back to single-celled organisms, for example. If a soul exists, then at what point along the evolutionary timeline did it become part of the physical structure? Not only is it a stretch, but it's not even necessary.

Saying that our soul goes on when we die is like arguing that my computer's soul goes on when I smash it to bits, or that a tree's soul goes on when I chop it down, or a mound of dirt's soul goes on when I kick it across the ground (hopefully you can see where I'm going with that progression).

tl;dr occam's razor

Exactly... This is why I am infinitely worried about death and will do whatever I can to stay alive as long as possible

Re: Reincarnate - AMA (might as well)

I fear death too (if only because I love life too much to ever leave it), which is why lately I've gotten into a serious health kick because I want to live as long as I can.

What do you have to say about people who question the universe being a meaningless place?

I find this very interesting to get feedback on because I've accepted that reality, but I want to know how you think about it.

what's with all the ExiSTenTiAL INQUiRies!!11??

I look at someone who sees objective meaning in the universe in the same way I look at someone who sees Jesus' face in their toast.

Have you ever considered submitting a file to FFR?

Yeah but too lazy to write it / figure out permissions / send it through the system

You're playing poker with a tiger, a walrus, and a chicken. The chicken folds pre-flop. You're holding Ks 10d and the flop is 2h 2s 4h. The tiger checks, and the walrus yawns and goes all-in without really thinking, which is about 5 times minimum bet. Do you fold, call, raise, or run screaming?

Would you step this piano piece for FFR? (and every note needs an arrow, all 166112 of them)

What is your opinion of Facebook Timeline?

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers how many peppers did Peter Piper pick?

Answer to all four: no

How did you first find FFR?

I don't remember exactly, but I was really active on DDRManiaX and a couple other sites back in the day and probably found out there. I can tell you that the person who got me into DDR/DWI in the first place was actually the person who later created the Zen Rebirth theme for Stepmania (we were both members of an RPG-maker community back in 1999-2001 or something like that). He had sent me, over AIM, the songs Angelfalls and Captain Jack. I thought they were catchy, so I downloaded DWI -- and the rest is history.

Ok I've gone on a tangent. Back on-point:

The first time I was on FFR, really, I don't believe I had signed up yet. I have a memory of playing it once when I was in the computer lab during a graphic design class freshman year of high school. I remember thinking FFR sucked because it was that early engine where there were only a few songs and retarded timing windows, so I was like eff that, DWI is much better.

Later, though, I was at a bubble tea cafe in Oregon with some friends and they had a small internet cafe there. Someone (who was no longer there or logged in) left open their FFR window. They had been playing the R2 engine, which I thought was really interesting since it looked like DWI/Stepmania. It was at that point that I signed up as MrRubix. Still hated R2 after playing with it, though. Didn't start playing competitively on that account until... I wanna say 2006 or so.
