    I'm a sucker for these videos on youtube where they take old films and they increase the frame rate (usually with added colorization). Somehow this motion smoothing makes everything look immediate and alive. But I'm wondering if that's really true. Maybe I've just learned to see that kind of smoothing--like in videos for live events and soap operas--as being in reality--and I make an association of regular film (with a lower frame rate) as not "real." But it's just a trick of the mind. After all, there are lots of other cues that should tell my brain this is not real--it's an image on a screen in two dimensions.

    Have you seen Peter Jackson's The Shall Not Grow Old?
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    But even there, how you respond can affect the problem as much as the person doing it.
    Key word there. Sure it can do something, but there's no guarantee. Not only that, but if someone else is causing you a problem, it's unfair to expect you to be the one to fix it, if you're happy with the situation as is.

    Again, taking one example too far here.

    I don't think so, cause you, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

    There is no free will, but we must live our lives as if there is.

    I mean, you and I can meet someone, dislike them, and never see them again. And my guess is, all of us will be just fine, but, as someone else correctly pointed out earlier, life gets pretty boring without others in it. Just a shame people can be so unworthy of friendship, for lack of a better term.

    Do you think most people are unworthy of friendship?

    If they're not, then they definitely come off as such.

    Why do you say that? I mean no offense, but that statement sounds like something I would have said when I was an edgy 14 year old.

    This looks like more of a you problem then a they problem. Not to read to much into it.
