| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18752 | Okay, here's a "what if" for you. You are given a choice to go back in time and prevent a tragic event. (that's all you can do, this is not choosing to pick a lottery number or get rich) Would you do it? Consider, there's no actual way to know the random consequences of your action on other subsequent events. So things may be better or worse than you expect once you prevent the tragic event. For instance, you save your beloved Grandfather from eating poison mushrooms. A week later, he was the one driving when most of the rest of your family went off a road and perished over a cliff. That's an example of what might happen, but you don't know right now. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | It depends what you consider successfully "going through". You mean like a common thing? A mote of dust, a pebble, a bullet, a rock, a meteor? Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18752 | Yeah, something like that. I'm imagining either nothing would really make it intact, and that there would be massive cavitation at the exit point. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
