@Wipqozn Somehow I managed to create drama with my one question on the Paranormal A51. I'm so awesome.

Grabbing the bottom of a large object that extends off the end of a slide is the worst thing in Powerpoint

and that's saying something

@Sterno Speaking of which...

> Currently werewolf don't fit within defined scope of the proposal, unless someone claim to be expert on it, then you can raise the new proposal and see how it goes then we can consider to merge this topic as more expects on werewolf (if there are some) will come as right now it's out-of-scope here. Please double-check the proposal description again. – kenorb 16 mins ago

> @Wipqozn There are many scientists who did studies on paranormal with great results and you're not aware how big the studies are. I could name you hundreds of scientists and they studies were so advanced, that they were excluded from scientific circles (as other were afraid of their reputation). Even Einstein started to study consciousness and scientists thought he gone crazy. – kenorb 1 min ago

once I finish my lunch I'm going to reply

@Wipqozn Fun.

Please, list them.

Conspiracy theory. Go!

3:13 PM

You can't say "the studies were too advanced that's why the rest of science says this is literally full of shit", that isn't how science works.

Their studies were too advanced!

@Wipqozn But first you finish eating because you can't eat and laugh loud enough at the same time?

Apparently my normal paranormal question is not a good fit for the proposed site. :(

@Unionhawk Did you see Braben's tweet?

I like that his authoritative reference goes to biomindsuperpowers.com

3:14 PM

The only things that try to withold studies are religions. Not science. Scientists are amazed if they get proof of being wrong.

@OrigamiRobot negative.

Very pleased with #EliteDangerous Wings. I hear the Fed Navy agrees with those lobbying for lower prices of the FdL so…

@Wipqozn I just want to be clear about what he wants. Ghosts are on-topic, but vampires and werewolves are off-topic, because the last two aren't real. Right?

3:18 PM

We believe a player shouldn’t feel that they have to indulge in trading to reach the next suitable ship for their preferred way to play, so to make other roles more viable we’ll continue to strengthen the role of combat pilots, miners and explorers in the galaxy, making those paths a more viable option for progression in future updates.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

3:36 PM

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004) is a book by Jon Ronson about the U.S. Army's exploration of New Age concepts and the potential military applications of the paranormal. The title refers to attempts to kill goats by staring at them. Research was carried out in part by Jon Ronson, but also by documentary filmmaker John Sergeant. == Content == The book examines connections between military programs and psychological techniques being used for interrogation in the War on Terror.

@Arperum It isn't.

@Frank The user is a conspiracy theorist, if I remember correctly. So I'd guess that the proposal is not a troll

@MadScientist We should just chuck the whole thing into Skeptics, then.

Nope

3:37 PM

Ghostbusters use 'proton' packs which are portable particle accelerators. The idea is that they use positive charge energy to trap/entangle negatively charged ectoplasmic entities. Would there be need for an electron pack to trap a positively charged ectoplasmic entity?

You're all mean for trolling the proposal.

So "How can I cure my headache with a crystal?" isn't allowed, but "What crystals cure headaches?" are fine?

PEOPLE OF THE US (I mean in particular @LessPop_MoreFizz): If I worked in FL for 3 months, but retained my permanent address as OH, do I still need to file Ohio taxes?

@Wipqozn Are you fucking kidding.

I'm out.

@Unionhawk yep.

@Unionhawk you might need to do both

actually no

i have no idea

is the FL income your only income for the year?

4:13 PM

Florida has no state income tax

Which crystal can be used for the relief of headache? and Which crystals can I use to relieve my headache? are the exact same question, and the removal of "I" doesn't suddenly change whether or not this question is medical advice or off-topic. — Wipqozn 7 secs ago

actually that might be a good question for the money.se

@Unionhawk If you have income from one state and live in another, you file for both. Source: I live in Missouri and have worked in Kansas.

@Unionhawk Yes, you're a resident of Ohio.

Cool, doing it

4:15 PM

I asked that question because I have an idiot friend who believes in that crystal shit

I owe them $0 anyway

He also believes 9/11 was an inside job and vaccines are poison

Oh, and he believes in Chemtrails

and ghosts

@Sterno Send him a referral link.

I used Turbotax, which sorted out the strange parts for me. Kansas has a 'non-resident' form. Since Kansas City sprawls on both the KS and MO side, TAXES HERE ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT.

wait... chemtrails are ghosts! mind = blwon

4:16 PM

You also have to file in Florida because Ohio has no reciprocal tax agreement with Florida but since Florida has no income tax then I guess that's a noop.

@Sterno 9/11 Truther and Chemtrails?

The 'controlled demolition' theory was concocted by the government to distract us. '9/11 was an inside job' was an inside job!

@Yuuki I'm pretty sure you can only file them as a dependent if they're under 24 and don't earn enough income to file on their own.

@MBraedley Yes, but Americans have a tax on their entire estate once they pass away.

@Wipqozn Yeah, that one came from here.

4:22 PM

oh, is that @Yuuki?

Yes.

As a werewolf, how do I prevent fur from getting all over the house when I transform during shedding season?

@Frank only if the estate is over a certain dollar limit (5 or 10 million, iirc)

@Frank Yeah, same in Canada. If your estate earns income (through interest or capital gains, for instance) before it is transferred as an inheritance, you have to pay tax on that.

'Which X can be used' is infinitive (state in an abstract), doesn't indicate who is asking, because it's passive general way and 'can' be used, however it doesn't have to be used. You're asking which crystal commonly are used for X as a matter of curiosity, not disease. — kenorb 5 mins ago

@MBraedley That's just regular growth, though.

I have no idea what he's tryigng to say.

You don't have a tax on giving it away to someone else.

I thought that some chatroom was having fun with the paranormal proposal ;-)

@Carpetsmoker Welcome to the Bridge, where silly proposals are routinely mocked.

@Carpetsmoker Fun? We're asking some serious questions here.

Usually not to this extent, granted.

4:26 PM

@Carpetsmoker We have strange questions normally

@Frank It's not the estate that's being taxed in that instance, it's the recipient of the inheritance. In the end, it amounts to the same thing, but it's a fine detail that needs to be acknowledged.

I could be paying a lot less in taxes if I can count ghosts as dependents.

@MBraedley Well, yes. Because you can't actually tax money or an account as an entity itself.

It has to be the owner that gets taxed.

Oh wow, I'm now tied for second most-upvoted question on that proposal.

@Yuuki Plus, if they are ghosts of children, you can get extra benefits paid to you!

4:28 PM

@Frank You can, however, charge the money for a crime.

@Yuuki is as bad as @Wipqozn

And as a sidenote, Paranormal now has almost twice as many questions as Scale Modelling. This makes me sad.

@Yuuki In the States.

Some of the serious replies are funny as well, like "Do aliens drink beer? If so, what's the best sort of bar to meet an alien?" gets the reply of "It depends on the race" ... wtf?

I'm not exactly sure how that works here in Canada.

@JasonBerkan Oh snap, and sicne they're ghosts you don't need to feed them

4:29 PM

I wonder if they're truly oblivious to the mocking, or just choose to ignore it ...

@Frank Yeah, but half the questions on paranormal are trolling questions.

And now I'm tied for most upvoted! Suck it, @Wipqozn!

@Wipqozn you might need a special kind of childcare for ghost children

4:29 PM

@Wipqozn I'm forwarding this information to my accountant.

@Carpetsmoker I'm almost completely certain it's just the one guy that's taking it seriously.

@Wipqozn But with that activity, it may hit the requisite level to get to commitment, trolling or not.

@Yuuki I don't know ... Maybe other people as well. It's difficult to tell sometimes

@Frank If SE actually let's this site enter beta than they don't deserve to have a site anymore.

Although if it does enter beta I'm totally running for mod.

Maybe @Sterno and I can be mods together.

@Frank AFAIK, inheritances are (mostly) tax free. There's some things which might be exempt from that, but by and large, liquid assets are tax free. You can be taxed on capital gains from liquidated assets that are normally non-liquid (automotive being the big thing).

4:30 PM

@Frank hey it worked for lifehacks

why can't you just let the other sites have their fun

Hmm. What beers do aliens like? You know that would affect my approach in X-Com if I could move my soldier, then offer the Sectoid some pale ale.

@Wipqozn I'm telepathically and telekinetically giving you a high give.

@MBraedley Yeah, that's what I'm saying, though. That's the big difference between Canada and the USA.

Maybe the aliens just need a drunken night of driving around and hitting mailboxes with a bat instead of annihilating the populace.

4:31 PM

@MadMAxJr pan galactic gargle blaster

@Sterno Is a high give ghost version of a high five?

Con Man - Because Convention Man Doesn't sound as cool.

If kenorb replied saying that we should maintain a list, then I should make a new discussion question to maintain a list of all the experts currentl i the proposal.
