The glass' natural state is empty. Thus, by adding water, you change its perceived state to that of not empty. If you see this as "less empty" then you are a fool.

>> No.3123305

You're all just assuming the volume between the walls of the cup belongs to the cup. What if it, like, belonged to the air? So actually it's like the air is half full of water and not the cup? Hold on, I'm gonna get some more Cheetos.

And the smart man who knows his shit says it is clearly half full, because glasses are produced empty, which is therefore their ground state.

Every other state must therefore be called "non-empty", which is easier to say as "full".

But sir, glasses are produced to hold liquid. Their ground state may be empty but their purpose is to act as a vessel for liquid. Thus, being empty is not a fulfillment of its duty. To regard a glass as empty is to disregard it's very existence. The glass must be filled to be complete and cannot be considered functional nor a whole when empty.

But it's not up to me to fulfill you. That's your duty. Take your life by the horns and fulfill yourself. You choose to become full! This is why you're half empty, you're concerned with others deciding how full you are. Don't be a glass on a table. Sitting there, being judged by a bunch of dicks on 4chan. Be a man. Be a free man. Get out there! Fill and be full!

Three engineers and three scientists are travelling by train to a conference. At the station, the three scientists each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a scientist. "Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer. They all board the train. The scientists take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on.
The scientists saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the scientists decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all). When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.
To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one perplexed scientist.
"Watch and you'll see," answered an engineer. When they board the train the three scientists cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the scientists are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please."
