   In the cashier’s defence, I don’t know what I’d say in response to that either. I’ve never known how to respond to somebody who laughs at something they said that wasn’t a joke.

   Monopoly’s not awful, but it’s very flawed.First of all, players who lose quit the game outright, while the others keep playing. So it’s not a great group activity.Secondly, after a certain point it becomes clear that you’re going to lose, but it still takes a while to actually reach that point. You gotta mortgage stuff, and try to sell, even though it’s got almost no chance of reversing your fortunes.Thirdly, there’s not much choice involved. Roll the dice, buy whatever you land on… And yeah, a bit of chance is fun, but at least to me, it’s better if chance is a small element, and not the main thing.

   There’s a Japanese brand of gumball like this. I can’t find any info on it, but I still have an empty packet, so the search will go on…

   Not me. I eat all eight slices with delight, and maybe order a second pizza.

   It’s all about avoiding any periods.

   No, that’s incorrect. You can say “despite my perfect grades” or “in spite of my perfect grades,” but not “despite of.”

   But that’s the entire question. Did I in fact make a choice to type that response and submit it? It felt like I did make a choice, but how do I know that this feeling is accurate? Sometimes I feel like I’m being watched, even though I’m not. So maybe I feel like I’m making decisions, when I’m not. Not all feelings are accurate, only some. I know I typed the response and submitted it, but I have no idea if I typed it using free will.

   How do you know free will does exist, though? I’m happy to listen to your proof, but you’re not presenting any. In fact, you seem to have misunderstood the question. We’re not saying that free will doesn’t matter, but that it doesn’t seem to exist, since the law of cause and effect affects the impulses in our brain.

   Again, I’m happy to listen to your proof that the laws of cause and effect stop working inside our brains, or that our brains don’t make our decisions, but you need to present that proof, you know?

   It’s weird how they’re using some real anime names now and not only fictional copies.

    Minor correction: It’s “Osamu”.
