You project, btw.
Not at all.
If I were to throw a die, and it results in a 6 I would call that a random event, uncaused. (Now I know full well that at large scales such as die, there really is determinism going on, but consider an equivalent event at a quantum level).
You, however, choose to call such an event 'caused' because there was a probability of 1/6 that it would be a 6. You apparently do so solely so that you can claim that everything has a cause.

It was like 6:00am. However, I'm glad to see you are a toolbag every hour of the day, without falter.

He isn't wrong; you are. Didn't you read what he said next?

Is that wrong? You contradict yourself.

Determinism is false, humy.

How do you know this?
Do you not determine your own decisions?
That is strange because it seems to me I at least sometimes determine mine.

It is really happening. I'm not really a fan of pressure, though.
Modern physics. I feel so fortunate.

I don't know what just happened. Don't really care.

All I need is a pint a day. A way to escape. I have known the best, and I'm not good enough.

Pish posh. You may not be good enough for these guys but you are more than adequate for the world at large.
You made an effort and that is more than most do.
Posting in science is ballsy at the best of times , that's why I stay clear of the place and am content with reading most of the time 🙂

Yes, standard meaning.
