I'm glad you survived that Adderall experience. Would you say your glass was full or empty at the time?

Hey, it is not my fault that I have a habit of not answering questions which don't make sense. As far as I'm concerned the OP could have been asking "Are you human or do you have a head?". My response would have been the same.

I don't feel that I have been overly optimistic or pessimistic, overall (keyword).
There is stuff I can do and stuff I can't, will and won't, and I pretty much just hope that what is required is something I can and will do.

Well that's simple, as it's or, not xor. That question makes perfect sense

Unfortunately, the English language doesn't work that way. English "or" is exclusive or.

50% of maximum emptiness is completely empty.



If that is his preference. I don't interfere with those matters.

I know English or is almost always exclusive unless otherwise stated, but my pedantic side instantly jumps on the point to poke fun of the statement.

unless someone uses either-or, killjoys <_< (either-or was the way English was meant to distinguish xor from or, but... English "evolves")

Its half full and half empty.

Uh... no it's not. 0% of maximum emptiness is completely full, 100% of maximum emptiness is completely empty. By induction, 50% of maximum emptiness is half full/half empty, 25% of maximum emptiness is 75% full/25% empty, etc.

This is starting to remind me of that stupid math problem thread.

It was half full until I drank it all. :shrug:

It depends. Is there a big mac sitting next to it?

i like to think of myself as Optimistic Pessimist. or Pessimistic Optimist. either way, someone besides me got half of the glass of water, so i am missing out on whatever good was in that. sure, i have half a glass to myself now, but i could have had more had someone else not taken it first. hm, this makes me Greedy Optimistic Pessimist.hm.

Half a pint glass of Guinness is halfway to the next pint, which will be full. How's that for optimism?

I asked that question to principal Heisenberg but he was quite uncertain...

It's empty. o_O

For me, the glass is half empty. Why? When ever I fill a glass, I almost fill it to the top, so when I drink it, and it's 50/50, it's half empty because I am drinking it. I usually see a glass as going empty because once it was full.

:)

English doesn't really "evolve" it's just people can't speak the language properly. I don't mean for people who have English as not thier primary language but for people who English is thier only language.

I find it pretty bad that the Dictionary now has ain't in the book now. I was always taught there is no such word but because so many people refuse to learn properly now its official. So it doesn't evolve, but it's just plain simple laziness of people and culture.

Come one, come all to the Bethesda forums, where we no longer know the meaning of staying on topic! :spotted owl:

Heh, I actually had some time to spare and decided to make this chart http://i53.tinypic.com/dlgl69.jpg showing how many posts in a given group of posts are actually on-topic. And by on-topic, I mean posts that actually relate to the poster's outlook on life in terms of the cup expression, not something along the lines of "It's empty cuz I dun drank all da beer in it YEAH BOY!" According to that chart, this is, like, the most on-topic thread ever.

Cue a bunch of posts debating why I deemed a post not on topic, whether the topic was even interesting to begin with, whether or not on-topicness even exists, or if reality exists, or is this is even real life or does anything even matter or oh my god oh my god could this all be a dream and then who's dreaming ah ah but what if aaaah *head explodes*

(As for my on-topic post, I'm generally an optimist/glass if half full type of person, but I'm still pessimistic a lot, just not as much)

Oh yeah, you must have seen that crazy thread while I was on that yep, I'm still alive so I would say thats a good thing But, the glass was overflowing when I was on that, so crazy and radical but after I realized how dangerous it was I'm never doing it again. Still, I think its pathetic that I got destroyed by a prescription dosage of a prescription drug lol.

:rolleyes: Just ask her out, bro.

Do you- do you really think I have a shot? Could she really see past all these bandages keeping my recently exploded head intact, and appreciate me for my mind? Which also exploded?

I rarely have a choice in that matter. On neutral days it's mostly half hull though.

the volume of this cylinder is divided into two equal parts; one a colorless, odorless liquid, the other a colorless, odorless gas. Thus the cylinder is neither full nor empty. Rather, each half of the cylinder is full, one with a gas, one with a liquid.

But then it's not really your place to "deem" a post off topic, is it?
