Chris Hemsworth plays this in his series Limitless

I’d argue that a native speaker who had been raised in Japan wouldn’t have found any fault in what I originally said. I’d also say that native speakers aren’t necessarily any more aware of writing formats than people who’ve acquired the language (though I admit they likely are), or of the nuance of English which would contribute to the linguistic comparison.

The third, and most relevant, point I’ll raise is that, by and large, the majority of people who’ve made comments like this to me in the past were not at all native speakers.

I used to play this in Seattle. It’s a seriously intense workout

Different words with different tonal inflections will convey different meanings. That's why it's called a tonal language/tone language.

Oxygen is actually the third most abundant element in the Milky Way

Don't underestimate us and our thurst for dino juice, now from outer space!

Americans: too fast still can't see the puck.

They didn’t say 20 years of humble learning of extremely high-context language. As apparent in that reply.

Maybe because we are native speakers?

Aaaaand, 5 seconds later everyone goes back to liking ass photos on Instagram. Because that’s what today’s generation does to keep busy. We‘re devolving as species.

It’s ok Titan, you have an atmosphere and liquid hydrocarbon lakes. No one can take that from you

My family & I used to play it in the 90's.

A surprisingly intense sport, lacking popularity because until recent technological advances it was difficult for people to spectate.

Actually coming from a singular point is different than coming from nothing. Sounds like you lack the understanding of how the big bang theory actually functions therefore I'll discard whatever insults you're hurling at people who believe it. I have to go to my job at the moment so don't have time to get into philosophical debates about religion but yeah, science is awesome and you should respect it instead of using illogical fallacies to try and pwn people who use it as the tool that it is. It's not a religion, its a way of thinking. That's also coming from someone who understands how religion works and grew up in a religious household. Learn to be skeptical of everything not just shit you don't believe. Be skeptical about your own beliefs because I am. I didn't say big bang was even guaranteed how the universe started. That's just where evidence leads us. Could change tomorrow and I'd be fine with that, that would just require overwhelming evidence to disprove. Beauty of science and critical thinking.

Humans may crave absolute certainty; they may aspire to it; they may pretend, as partisans of certain religions do, to have attained it. But the history of science—by far the most successful claim to knowledge accessible to humans—teaches that the most we can hope for is successive improvement of our understanding, learning from our mistakes, and a asymptotic approach to the Universe, but with the proviso that absolute certainty will always elude us. ~ Carl Sagan

The hard but just rule is that if the ideas don’t work, you must throw them away. Don’t waste neurons on what doesn’t work. Devote those neurons to new ideas that better explain the data~ Also Carl Sagan (Look him up and appreciate him, read a demon haunted world sometime)

Titan sobs in the corner....

Oh Teddy, haven’t talked to you since that thing at that thing the other time. You still doing that stuff we talked about.

Also yes Earth is my planet…MY PLANET!

Some Shitty Atheistic scientist theories that Universe came from nothing...!!! Biggest false claim ever. Nothing is conceptual term....just like infinity...it means absent of everything...i.e. atoms. electron, proton and neutron etc. The more scientist will be truthful with themselves the more they will realise that their is the Creator. And to Him belongs the Absolute truth rest all are just mere guesses...This atheistic Scientist are even confuse between genders (by the way there are only 2 ) let alone universe.....

I agree about the clearing. But they'll invent some new rule. "But it's smaller than a moon in the same solar system!"

I have a simpler rule. If it's big and round, it's a planet. Unless it's burning with the flames of a nuclear fire, in which case it's a star.

Some planets go around stars. Some planets go around other planets.

Let the planets proliferate.

It is the closest thing to absolute truth that humanity will ever have and I'll leave this convo at that.

Going back in time to figure out the Egyptian pyramids is harder than measuring planets with satellites that don't change for hundreds to thousands of years. As well as I never said science has figured everything in the universe out. We have mapped more of our night skies than the oceans of our planet for example. The wonder of science is that there's always more to do and learn and find explanations for. None of what you said is a gotcha lmao. You're kinda just forcing your bias into this convo by going towards the big bang. The big bang is more provable than any religious beliefs around the world I'm sorry to say. Science is the method we will use to find explanations for everything in the universe if we ever get to ( I don't think we will since there's that many variables to our universe and humanity is limited to the time our species exists which is nothing on the scale of time in the universe).

Also yeah this is all just anti intellectual shit. Sorry. You are wrong. As much as these things can't be proven, people like you make even more unprovable claims. Prove to me that a deity created the universe. You can't aside from what your belief tells you. You can't prove that with absolute truth. Send a satellite to heaven and show me pictures of it if you're so confident. Like these are the kinds of things you're throwing out there. You are being disrespectful to people who put a lot more work into this shit than just making up stories about a sky figure creating the universe.

Reread this paragraph and internalize it..

Absolute truth is only something we can shoot for, and be happy with how close we get. It's not something you can sit here and weaponize against people who actually put the work in to give you a representation of the world around you that is measured and observed. If you dont put the work into learning about something, and doing the work to make theories or observations or measurements yourself, you kinda don't get the right to criticize.

Theory of Gravity. Our teacher used to taught us its pulling force.....now scientist say its pushing force...einstein happen.. I guess. My statement is not wrong....while i acknowledge that field of science is evolved to grt measures but still its not absolute or near to absolute Truth. We just discover another secret corridor in egyptian Pyramid even after having so many scientific tools. My statement still hold the truth....its just a theory....just like big bang....u can't prove it.

Yes your statement is wrong. Theoretical as a term in the science universe is more like a calculated measurement. Think about the Theory of Gravity. We can measure it, we can measure it's effect on matter in the universe. Do we know why it exists? How? Nope still a lot of science to do in that aspect that involves quantum mechanics, but we can still get VERY EXACT MEASUREMENTS of how it affects everything around us. From measuring the terminal velocity of your body flying through this planet to measuring the amount of pull our moon has on our planet (reasons tides exist). To the amount of pull Jupiters moons have on it (without ever physically visiting there aside from satellites).

These are all things people have studied and measured and pondered about for hundreds of years and we have technology to get continually more precise with those measurements. Hypothesis (scientific term for uneducated guess or question needing to be answered) don't get to be theory unless they are tested and proven rigorously nowadays.

Also that's the beauty of science is that it's allowed to change, and still be the closest thing we have to absolute truth. You should really delve into it sometime and that will make sense to you but nothing I have said to you is wrong.

Absolute truth is only something we can shoot for, and be happy with how close we get. It's not something you can sit here and weaponize against people who actually put the work in to give you a representation of the world around you that is measured and observed. If you dont put the work into learning about something, and doing the work to make theories or observations or measurements yourself, you kinda don't get the right to criticize.

They had to send in a guy in a green suit to solve the issue.

Anti intellectual...? I just said its all theoretical at the end of the day....is my statement wrong ? No longer 5 to 6 decade ago...Scientist thought sun was stationary...now its moving in orbit around milky way galaxy....that's fine example of one of your theory...Science is not absolute Truth....its constantly changing with discovery and technology...

Is my idea of heaven

The sole moon of one of Sol's moons?
