EPTLet's just say being T-Pain axiomatically makes him win games, because it's evident, then there's not a real way to even get out of the cyclic reasoning, no?

What I wonder though, is how anyone gets into that roundabout in the first hand. | ||

Reprocessing requires energy to rebuild the nutrients you need from waste, but there should never be any need for an external input given a good enough power cell/recycler, which could probably be part of his armor. We usually go through a bacteria/plants/animals chain fueling with solar power, but it's just because it's the easiest path at the time. | ||

I say What do you want to be like T-pain for?" He says "To win because T-Pain wins all the time." I ask him again what he wants to be T-pain for and he replies "To win." The cycle goes on. How can this be? Is this some paradox? What type of paradox is this? Is there some term for this limbo? How could I advance the questioning past the T-pain and win answers.? Do you really not get it? It's an obvious reference to the DJ Khaled music video (with multiple remixes), entitled "All I Do Is Win". Apparently you didn't ask him WHY T-Pain wins, or how you know he wins (he'd probably reference the song). Related: | ||

Regarding the "It is polite" thing, no, it is not. Politeness is about codifying being nice to people. If somethings constantly annoys people, it is not nice. If you rub something into other peoples faces, it is not nice except for some very special occasions. Knigge (The german book of rules about politeness. Shut up, we are germans, we like exact written rules about everything) states regarding this question, that you should ignore it, because it is fucking annoying to add a loud "BLESS YOU!" across the room to every single sneeze. | ||

Sneeze "BLESS YOU!" Sneeze "BLESS YOU!" Sneeze "BLESS YOU!" How can anyone think that reaction is anything but being an asshole is beyond me. Sometimes they even look kind of annoyed if you don't thank them for being an asshole to you. It is like one of these weird rules that teenage cliques inadvertedly acquire. They make no sense, they annoy 90% of the people involved, but there is always one guy around who finds them funny and tries to enforce them as best as he can. I remember that there was a social rule in my teenage group of shouting a loud "SCHULTZ" when someone burps. The "bless you" thing makes even less sense. | ||

Here in the states, folks most often say "bless you" when someone suddenly breaks a silence with their loud sneeze, and based on what I've heard from those I've spoken to, it's an old-fashioned way of alleviating some of the anxiety that is attendant to the attention that a sudden sneeze brings about. Naturally, this view is very much tied to the circumstances and individuals one talks to, but then again, so are the conventions of politeness. All in all, how on earth does something like this irk you so? Is your life that cushy that you need to take offense in the face of attempts at politeness? | ||

*small sneeze* "GESUNDHEIT!!!"*small sneeze* "GESUNDHEIT!!!"*small sneeze* "GESUNDHEIT!!!", leading to everyone looking at the sneezing guy annoyedly as if it is their fault that the guy shouted at them at the top of their lung. And from the smugness of their voice it is usually quite obvious that this is some sort of superiority ritual for them, where they try to humiliate you because you are sneezing, or at least show how superior they are by making everyone in the room aware that not only did you sneeze, you sneezed multiple times, they did not sneeze, and they noticed you sneezing, thus they must obviously be a much fitter individual as they do not have this enormous flaw. Also, as i stated, this is not only my opinion, but also that of the official german book of rules on politeness, "Knigge". And yes, i am happy with my life. I just rate politeness quite high, and i very greatly dislike people being dicks to others for no apparent reason. The root cause of a lot of problems is people being assholes to each other when they could just be nice at no cost to themselves. | ||

Most of the explanations go back to some superstitious crap, or basically saying "later dude, you got the plague,good luck". | ||
