  It vibrates relatively the same, depending on how much of it there is nearby. ;)

  Time is as imaginary as up/down, left/right, forward/backward.

  That is to say that the concept and it’s consequences exist no matter what we call it. Time is not a human thing, it’s one of the dimensions of the space in which we exist. Calling it “time” and a “second” being as many vibrations of a caesium as it is, that’s the human bit.

  It’s my understanding that whenever infinity is encountered, it means that our model doesn’t quite work.

  It may be the way it is with this particular model/equations/bit of physics, and it may simply indicate “Nope”. I suspect not though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t it also require infinite energy to do so if “the thing” has mass at all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me want cookie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe.

  Never had that reflex triggered in me when presented with renders of what we think neanderthal looked like though.

  Sample size of one means nothing though, so, yeah, maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me want cookie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s one for you;

  “Uncanny Valley.” Why do we have a lizard brain level instinct to be wary of/uncomfortable around things that look almost human?

  At what point in our evolutionary history was being afraid of something that looks nearly human, but not quite, a useful survival trait?

  Were we preyed upon by something that looks almost human for long enough to evolve an instinctive warning?

  So anything that tries to level the playing field means there’s a “movement” that seeks to take everything from white men, that about right?

  Grow the fuck up and accept responsibility for your own mistakes. There isn’t some great conspiracy to keep you down, you’re doing that all on your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As an outsider whose overton window isn’t calibrated to US norms, it’s because the “Democrats” aren’t anything like left wing, same as “Labour” in the UK.

  They’re both neoliberal centre-right parties masquerading as left wing for votes.

  What you appear to be deeply emotionally connecting to “left wing” is simply authoritarianism, which is neither left or right, and exactly the playbook Trump is reading from.

  You would be well served to read some political theory explainers that aren’t US based. It may open your eye to exactly how hard you’re about to be fucked over the barrel by those that are supposed to be serving you, not themselves. 💛

  That is your reaction to a group of marginalised people realising that a niche has always existed for them?

  You need to reexamine your life choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupid does as stupid is.

  And yet, take a look in any Games Workshop and you’re quite likely to find people who will happily go weeks without a shower despite sweating like a pig just hauling their immense bulk across the room for another 2 litre bottle of coke or pepsi.

  The nearest store to me for example had to put a fucking sign in the window warning that staff will remove any such sources of offensive body odour from the premises and issue bans on repeat offenses.

  I mean, what the fuck?!

  It’s not the ladies’ fault they find such utter lack of basic hygiene repulsive, despite what the Taint brothers and their ilk say, but it’s the same basic bitch lie every right wing cockbite sells.

  “It’s not your fault or mine that your life is a bin fire, it’s insert target group here’s fault. Here, do what I tell you and it’ll get better.”

  All downhill from believing that “pretty little lie”. There is currently a rising tide of people caught up in the lie the world over, and they’re unwilling to admit they were had. If history is any teacher, it’s got to get waaaay worse before the wind shifts.

  Artificial scarcity in it’s barest form.

  The fact that even some people think this shit is acceptable is very telling of how far we have yet to go, psychologically speaking, as a species.

  Monkeys in fucking trousers.

  “Intelligent Design”

  Fucking LOL

  Damn, there’s a blast from the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gigachad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  City of Heroes.

  Such a great example of what an MMO should be. Old, and not without it’s flaws, but it did so many things right that even contemporary attempts at the genre miss entirely.

  Living in the twenties.

  You’re missing the “management’s only purpose is to pressure people to work, if they do that at home without management…”
