Watching Terminator 2, how did the robots original get made if in T2 the designer says his chip design is based on the chip from the first terminator who was sent back in time?
These are generally referred to as "plot holes," meaning there are gaps in logic within the story's sequence of events. It's a very complex concept, I know, but viewing an M. Night Shyamalan film should clear up any questions.

I'm aware of the concept, and indeed, paradoxes, I was just wondering if a different thing inspired the chip architecture in the first movie or something, I haven't seen it in a really long time.
 
I was just being a douchebag. :lol

I really don't think it's anything deeper than a plot hole, though. I'd have to watch the movies again to be certain.

I have a Facebook-related problem. I can't seem to send a friend request to a certain friend. The friend request button simply doesn't show up on his profile. I know about privacy settings being able to block users from sending out friend requests, but I really doubt this is the case. I have other friends who, recently, have been able to befriend him on Facebook. I really don't think he'd have blocked me specifically from sending him a request, so does anyone know how to fix this? I could try contacting him, but he hasn't showed up on MSN in a while (OHNOHEDIDNTBLOCKMEDIDHE??:(), and calling him just for a Facebook request seems kind of weird.
You got blocked. Scratch any PSPs recently?

Is that really the only answer? :( I was unable to add him from the very first day I made an account (about a week or so ago), so it seems strange.
Unfortunately, I think that's the only answer. He probably blocked you.

Pop Quiz: do you have a particular format of a timeline in your head that you use subconsciously when referring to particular dates or times or the past or the future?

Most people I've asked visualize some sort of calendar or a timeline running from left to right in their heads.

I've never come across someone who uses my method.

What's your method then? You explained the methods other people take, but didn't mention yours. Unless you purposefully did it to see if someone would post your actual method.

For me, I just visualize pictures in my head for certain timelines. For history, I'd always associate a date with a picture of the event in my head. I think that's what I do the majority of the time.

I had a friend that was the same way. Turns out her Facebook was on the highest privacy setting because she had a stalker or some shit. Only she could do friend requests; no one could friend request her. Maybe your friend has things set up the same way and hes the one doing the adding?

I mean, like, when you're planning your activities for next week, or next month... do you sort of see Friday... the weekend... next week... to the right? And next year is like further that way?

As I understand it:
new timelines replace old ones.

presumably, skynet was first developed from scratch in the original timeline.

basically:
johns born.
skynet is created from scratch.
skynet sends back a terminator to stop john from being born.

this creates a new timeline:
Sarah and kyle destroy the terminator and father john.
the remains of the terminator cause the creation of skynet.
skynet sends a t-1000 to kill john as a child.

in the second timeline, skynet never sends arnold to kill Sarah but the effects from the events of the first timeline carry over. basically, every time they travel back in time, a new timeline is created that is different, for some reason skynet seems to be an inevitability. i don't know why, maybe its higurashi logic.

Nope. That's so weird to even think about!
 
Should I read A Clockwork Orange before I watch the movie?

I don't consider this to be a stupid question, but didn't think it was thread-worthy :P
 
Glubags said:

heh. I remember back when I was jm'd it was something like 150 posts or 150 days of being member whichever comes first. It's better this way though, by the time those 60 days come and 200 posts occur almost all morons will be banned thus stopping most lame threads.

I visualize the days of the week in a circle and the months in an egg shape. So August is now rounding the fat part of the egg going back over the top to the left and towards December. Then January will start the bottom of the shape again and move forwards to the right. Thinking about the past and future is more a left to right thing, but with a sense of depth too, like i'm reaching down when trying to find what year something happened in the past.
 
I hope this is the right place, but I didn't see one of these stupid question threads in the gaming section:

I'm thinking of buying a xbox 360, and I'm considering the elite bundle that includes fable and halo. I'm just wondering if those games come in boxes or in cardboard sleeves. Also, is this the system with the newest jasper chipset that is suppose to prevent it from over heating and red ringing? Also, will I be able to stream video from a portable hdd onto a tv using the 360? Thanks in advance.

It's not essential to do so, although I personally think the book is leagues better than the movie. This is one Kubrick film I'm not a fan of.
 
How would triple stripe toothpaste be arranged inside the tube?

I can't fathom how it comes out so neatly striped when you squeeze it through the narrow spout.
 
What is a good present to get your girlfriend if you've been together for eight months, live together, but you don't want to get her jewelry?

Jewelry leads to problems in my opinion, but I don't know what would be appropriate. I can't pick out clothing either because she would never wear it.

Weekend away somewhere?

Book her in for a day at a day spa?

Take her on a picnic?

They achieve that with multi-compartments, therefore the different colors are unable to mix with each other.

Basically like this:

If youre low on cash and your girl is not materialistic, i got the perfect suggestion for you. My ex did this for me before and it works both ways.

On a bunch of index cards or post-its, write down things you will do for her at any given time when she hands you the note. Make sure you put those notes in a nice card when you give it to her. It could be anything from oral sex, to a full body massage to cleaning the house, cooking dinner, something shes been wanting you to do. Anything, and make sure you do it when she requests it.

Examples of what my ex jotted down:
2x Blowjob for an hour . I tried to make copies of this, lol, but she wouldnt go for it.
2x Full body massage for an hour.
2x Sex anywhere at anytime.

Ok, it was all sex related, but you get the point. She wasnt a very sexual person so this was a great gift for me.

Taking out every other frame, also known as "culling" the animation.

This sounds great but I'm the more sexual of us two.

Other problems are she doesn't trust me to clean anything. All I can do is clean up my shit, vacuum and take out the trash/recycle. Dishes are a no-no. Cooking can be a problem.

Right now I'm thinking a nice sex toy, the day spa thing, and some kind of vacation package to NYC. I'll include that with some index card type presents ( I can use the oral sex as a joke, and who knows she might take me up on it).
 
Why is it, that when i masturbate, and i am about to orgasm, innapropriate thoughts go through my head..old people, depressing thoughts, horses etc..

Do not treat it like a joke, act seriously and shell take it seriously.
Get her a coupon for a full body massage, just make sure its not a guy giving it to her. After that, she might turn into a sexual beast for you for the night :D

Coz you will probably end up fuckin a horse, old person or both at the same time then become real depressed when Gaborn posts your news story for all of Gaf to read :D

Yeah, I'm going to get her a couple's massage for her and a friend so she isn't lonely or anything.

The only reason I say oral sex would be a joke is that she thinks it's dirty, even though we've done it before. A couple days ago in fact. I'm sure she'll agree to appreciate it more later on, but the idea of her needing a card from me to get something sexual is, unfortunately, laughable at best. If I could find a way to flip that around, I would, but I'm too satisfied the way it is to suddenly change. Gradual change has been working brilliantly in regards to that stuff lately.

Thanks for the advice, solved my dilemma.

Youre welcome, glad i can help. Dude, just give her a full body massage yourself. Just make sure you do it proper with massaging oil and atleast know how to give a moan inducing nude massage. Guarantee you guys will be tearing up the bedroom before you finish.

Dont worry about her not liking oral sex, most girls are insecure about that. If you do it enough and youre good at it, shell be begging for it in no time.
 
I was listening to someone talk, someone who I always thought I cared about, and I realized I hate them. I completely loathe this person.

It was very sudden, and seemingly out of the blue. But now I can't stand this person.

Anyone else ever had that happen?

My loathing is usually a slow building process unless it's some sort of outburst or argument. Did the person say something completely offensive during the conversation which turned you off? Perhaps the offensive comment/conversation made previous behaviors of this individual more apparent to you Then in an instant, you became aware of how much you dislike this person.

Or you could just be having a bad day and finding everyone around you annoying.

I'M AN EXPEEEERT

Honestly I find almost everything she says offensive. When she's not being a bigot she's being idiotic. Maybe it did build up, letting things slide too long.

Now I feel like the asshole, so messed up.
 
Did anyone hear about Toyota's NASCAR driver who hit a coyote at around 200mph while testing in Arizona?

This is a manifestation of your subconscious guilt and shame. You're trying to stop yourself from experiencing the payoff because deep down you feel pathetic for masturbating.

You could be right here. It only happens when i masturbate. Having sex with my fiancee is no problem.
