Okay, /x/. I'm a harsh non-believet and awful skeptic.

Are you even supposed to be talking about any of this?

>>19443851
Doesn't really matter. 122 is know worldwide and this picture is from Google, so I suppose it's fine. There's nothing classified here I'm not supposed to be talking about.

For reference, here's an article.

If you could do anything to improve luck, it wouldn't be luck. You either have it or you don't. Rabbit's feet, horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, those are all placebos. That's not to say placebos don't work, just by having a lucky charm you might feel luckier and perform better.

Let's talk about cars instead.
You've owned cars right?
Did you ever get the feeling that the driver doesn't choose the car, but the car chooses the driver?

>>19443859
Well, I don't have any of those. Never did either. So what is it? Karma? Mojo? I really know nothing of these things, and that's why I'm here.

>>19443860
I do own a car, though no, I never really felt like that. Either way, it's not only 122, pried to me working on it, it was every single aircraft I worked on.

>>19443873
You own a car and you never once tried to get acquainted with it's personality? You never once sought out it's soul? You never once tried to mind-meld with it for maximum symbiosis?
I wonder what happens when the principles of animism are applied to machines...

>>19443881
Nope, never done any of that. Never even heard of that. Closest I've heard about something like that is that jets have souls. When everything's calm, they come back all broken and wonky, but when time comes, and war breaks out, they come back perfect, every single time.

I have an attachment with my project car I feel that there is some sort of connection. It's actually gotten me a job working in the industrial maintenance field.

>>19443884
Some would say that all machines have souls.
From the computers we're shitposting at each other with now, to our coffee makers, down to our wristwatches. All machines.
A vehicle is a powerful symbiote.
True, it can't do much on it's own, eh, officially, but it's not just a metal box. It's a living organism that becomes an extension of the physical body. At least according to this model of thought.
tl;dr machines aren't separate tools, their living extensions of the wielder.

>>19443891
That's quite an interesting way to look at things.

>>19443894
I can see where you're coming from, but this still doesn't really answer my initial question.

>>19443910
Sorry, maybe I got sidetracked.
Maybe they like you now.

>>19443915
Huh. Now we're getting somewhere. Does them having souls means that they have feelings too? And why would they not like me then and suddenly like me now?

>>19443842
I'd say that by sitting yourself down to really fix that hard plane, you fixed some energetic concerns inside yourself, and now things are flowing better in you and it's reflected in reality. That's how it works in my experience.

>>19443920
Yes, beings with souls also have feelings. Again, this is all hypothetical, just an interesting thought-model to consider, if for no other reason that thinking about things in new ways.
In that case, seeing as how we're talking about some very serious birds, I would assume that they are weary of most newcomers, but if one were to prove them self to be a friend...

>>19443927
>>19443929
Well, thank you both. It honestly never even crossed my mind to think this way, and a little chill went through my spine to think this way.

That's all I needed, have a great day.

>>19443842
If you were truly a non-believing skeptic, you would know "luck" is just a word for when undeterminable events land in your favor. There's no improving luck because luck isn't a thing.

>guys I spent a lot of time doing something, and now I'm better at it - I must be getting luckier
All you've described is getting better at a job, which makes total sense considering you spent weeks "doing everything" as you put it. What changed was that you spent a lot of time doing a job.

>>19443842
Where are you stationed OP?

Fellow airfag here.

>>19443842
Being a nonbeliever and skeptic I'm sure you considered the possibility that you're just a shit mechanic that got better, right?
