What is being totally random?

signofzeta · 2010-01-27 18:27:12 UTC

[QUOTE=Ryan;209388]The mere thought of u posting about randomness isn’t random anymore but it’s a outcome of the som of previous actions.

There is NO randomness, because EVERYTHING is a reaction.

Thus you can’t even think randomnly, because those “randomn” thoughts are invoked by previous experiences.
The butterfly effect FTW[/QUOTE]

woah, although it was a reaction, out of all the possible replies, like a statistics reply, a women’s rights reply, or how people aren’t game characters reply, I picked the reply randomly, and I use random examples in my replies.

So I guess, if you were to take my threads as a numerical pattern, it would go something like 1 2 3 4 ( ) 8 9…, where the stuff in brackets can be rearranged randomly. Something like that.

The talking about physical attributes between genders, mental attributes between genders, the statistics of females who are going to play Brink, projecting your real life self into a game character, although being about the general topic at hand, are pretty random topics within that general topic. The thread was technically done after MoP’s first post in that thread. We just made random posts there because we were just tired of restating the same reason, well, that is what it looked like anyway, but these people just keep on coming back, and saying how it isn’t fair blah blah, while they weren’t the ones who were making the game.

I always fart, AFTER I EAT BEANS.

Just because of my problem, I demand to be able to play as all kinds of beans in the game. They would make the human looking characters fart, after they eat them.

Note: This post is in no way talking about that thread. This post is about BEANS.

This thread is supposed to be RANDOM. So a linear discussion is out of the question. Kind of when a person just says something totally off the wall, and you are like “what?”

Yea, but you choose to pick THIS reaction to my post, because the tiny little connections in your brain made this desecision. And those tiny little connections in your brain are all reaction to something. (Your previous life experiences, memories, visual input, physical input.) They are all reacting to previous actions, and therefor the outcome is a reaction asswell.

non-linear discussions are awesome !!
ecclectic, to be exact

I am going to collect every single university degree like how I collect magic cards and transformers, and therefore not have time to have a job.

Law, Medicine, Engineering, Education, you name it. EVERY SINGLE DEGREE. Then I post the certificates in my WALL OF DEGREES.

It’s when your mind takes a certain train of thought but the person you’re talking to missed out a couple of steps along the way.

So, like earlier in the office our photocopier broke down - and I managed NOT to say in a cod-German accent “I NEED AN ENGINEER!”

Say I’d actually yelled that in the middle of the office, and someone didn’t know the copier was broken and wasn’t familiar with Enemy Territory, they’d think I was being “totally random”. To me it was a logical train of thought, but if someone doesn’t share that journey, it appears to have come from nowhere.
