Well now see my cousin Skeeter got himself a 8k TV with that settlement money he got from when he got run over by that bmw downtown tryin to get his kids back ya know? At the courthouse? Anyway he was sposed to use that money to pay fer his doctors and whatnot but he got himself that TV and the dang thing wouldn’t fit through the door! Got her in to the trailer but couldn’t go no where so he put that sucker up right outside has movie nights the whole park can come n see. Course ol Skeet likes them naughty flicks you know with the blood and gore and titties n stuff, talkin bout like Dusk Till Dawn, talkin bout some Striptease, uh you know what’s the other one the one where the girl takes off her bathing suit Fast Times that’s the one. Anyway the boys in the neighborhood LOVE ol skeets movie nights but I think some o them parents are gonna set his trailer on fire for too long here now.

First they did it to millennials, now they’re doing it again to Zoomers

Ruminants creating greenhouse gasses is a problem that can solve itself by returning to huge fucking pastures and cooperative farming.

Instead, we’re getting synthetic food. We’re a decade removed from human grade kibble at this point.

Here again, capitalism is the problem. A capitalist offering capitalism solutions to problems created by capitalism isn’t appealing.

😬

I’d rather pay with my actual blood than use PayPal.

A laser heating one side of anything enough to ablate material in space will alter it’s trajectory, it’s entirely possible that objects in low earth orbit would be forced to return to earth. That’s been proposed as a possible way to deal with all the random crap in space.

No. They are not.

Kitchen appliances like blenders and mixers are going to draw more power than USB-C is capable of delivering even at their lowest settings.

Amazon! Job cuts! Recession! Scary!!

You are the center of the universe. A star, 2 billion light years away is also at the center of the universe.

Everything that is everywhere originated from the same infinitesimally small point that stretched out in to the universe we observe today. It’s not like a grenade going off, where you can point to a center and an edge. It’s more like proofing dough.

IF that is true, that means any “edge” to the universe must also exist at it’s center, and therefore be surrounded on all sides by the universe. It would look more like a 3 dimensional hole than a bubble we’re inside of.

That is almost the most unhinged thing you’ve said today. Almost.

It’s like hating a shitty Black and Decker oscillating clipper, when it breaks, randomly cuts your thumb off, or fails to clip the weeniest of leaves from your hedge, when a pair of manual clippers work just fine.

If it’s a tool, it’s a bad tool being marketed as the best and only tool you’ll ever need again.

Just to be clear, you’re saying that ENIAC was just as prone to mathematical error as a guy doing long division on paper would have been?

How do you know that isn’t already happening?

Here’s another fun fact then, any “cosmic boundary” would be surrounded on all sides by the universe, and would simultaneously exist at it’s center. Because every point in the entire observable universe is the center of the universe.

Which again sounds an awful lot like a black hole.

So maybe there is a boundary. It’s all black holes all the way down. interconnected universes all pointing to each other through black holes and Einstein-Rosen bridges all feeding off of and in to one another. The dark energy accelerating space time’s expansion coming from beyond our local event horizon in a brief moment of feeding.

Did you at any point in this raving lunacy of a rant stop to think that maybe, just maybe the reason people hate AI is because it’s bad?

The first computers were astonishingly faster and more accurate than human calculation.

Space is everywhere, and it’s stretching. It isn’t expanding per say, it’s that everything that is everywhere is getting further apart.

You’re thinking of space stretching like an inflated balloon, and that’s a decent analogy but it’s far more simplistic than reality. If there is some cosmic boundary it would divide everything that is and exists, and the absence of any existence. It’s a boundary which light itself could not escape, and all future points of time exist only within that boundary. All of space time would fold back in on itself.

Imagine standing at that boundary and firing an arrow, a thought experiment first described by Lucretius in Pompeii 2000 years ago. He imagined that if he fired an arrow from the edge, then clearly the universe kept going, and if it hit something, then clearly something must exist on the other side.

But the arrow can only fall back in towards the universe at some such theoretical boundary. Because all points in time exist within that boundary.

Which is very similar to a black hole. Which is why some cosmologists have suggested that maybe we live inside one.

That sounds like a guy who would sabotage a condom.

That sounds like a guy who insists on driving.

That sounds like a guy who will get problematically jealous.

Cancel the date, if he reacts like an adult you can always reschedule. I suspect he won’t.

A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it. Child’s device Y/N. If no, proceed. Your browser or whatever app you’re using would only need to see that one setting, and it’s not much different than your browser looking at any number of settings on your device.

Shit with TWO toggles, the other being “is this child under the age of 13?” You could even force sites like YouTube actually to comply with federal law about targeting minors with advertising.

But. These laws aren’t actually about protecting children, they’re about establishing a real identity for every person online.

The online safety act isn’t actually about protecting children. That’s a smoke screen for a surveillance bill. They want to eliminate anonymity online.

I think Ubi tried to capitalize on that with Skull and Bones, because you’re definitely not alone. They failed miserably, but they tied.
