Alright, since you didn’t like my last explanation for some reason, let me try again.
You know how when you stick your hand out of a moving car, you feel a massive rush of wind, even if it’s not windy out? Ok, so imagine sticking a portal out of a moving car, what do you think happens to the air? Does it come to a dead stop after it exits the portal? Why not? The air itself wasn’t moving, only the car with the portal was.
Solids in this case will work the same way. It doesn’t matter if a solid is moving toward the portal, or the portal is moving toward it, what matters is the relative velocity.

From the orange portals frame of reference, the cube, and everything else in the world, is rushing toward it. So the cube (as well as the entire world around it) has a velocity relative to the orange portal.
But only the cube goes through the portal, the rest of the world does not come with it. At that point, the frame of reference changes. You can think of it like this: The cube has an velocity of X with respect to reference frame Y; once it leaves the portal, it keeps that velocity X but the reference frame changes from Y to Z. The velocity doesn’t disappear.

Frame of reference. If a person is hit by a train, from their perspective, they were standing still and the train was moving. But a person in the train can stand up and walk around without difficulty, they can stand on one foot and balance, they can jump up and down and not go flying away; so they are standing still from the trains perspective, it’s everyone and everything outside the train that’s moving.
What happens isn’t a transfer of momentum or energy or velocity; it’s a change in the frame of reference. That can’t happen in real life and breaks a lot of different laws of physics, so people are having trouble wrapping their brain around it.
The portals are a frame of reference. Both the IN and OUT portals have their own, separate frame of reference. The player’s reference doesn’t actually factor into it. When you go through a portal, you are switching from the IN frame of reference, to the OUT frame of reference. And in this situation, the IN frame of reference has you flying toward the portal at whatever speed it’s approaching you.
- Comment on Which is it Lemmy? 4 days ago:
In that situation both portals (the inside and the outside window frame) have equal, but opposite velocities and therefore cancel out any momentum from the person.
When dealing with OP’s scenario, only one portal is moving.

I always considered myself centrist, which by today’s standards makes me a radical leftist. At some point the Overton Window flew past me and is now a far off speck in the distance.

Damn, do you just never pay attention to history? Millennials might start voting more, but Gen Z and younger will not. Why?
Because young people don’t vote. Every fucking election people smoke pure hopium and say “This is the year! The youth are fired up! They’re going to turn out in record numbers and bring about change!” And every fucking election it is the lowest voting demographic, by a HUGE margin.
Young people don’t vote. I do not fucking care what the circumstances are and what you are seeing from online discorce. Young people do not vote.
And if you are holding out for the aging Millennials starting to go to the polls, well expect to keep holding that weight for a long time. Older millennials are beginning to drift more conservative. “How can that be?!” You ask. “Certainly they have been noticing all the stuff going on!” And to that I say; no, they absolutely are not. They are raising families. They are focused on their careers as they start to move into middle/upper management. They are getting dumber just as all generations do once they pass ~40. And conservatism attracts dumb people like flies to a honey-covered statue of a sexy fly.
The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Sounds like someone I should check out. He’s absolutely right to call shit like that out
Anime has a pervert problem. Any other media would get raked over the coals for how much and how often the characters are sexualized, especially in stories where it doesn’t fit. I can’t But in anime, it’s just brushed off because its become so normalized, but it really shouldn’t be.
Think about this, other than porn, what was the last piece of non-anime media you’ve seen that featured a girl’s panties? Not a woman. Not an adult getting dressed. But an underaged girl’s panties. Because that shit is everywhere in anime, and it’s played off as cute or funny. It’s fucking gross.

I started asking this a few years ago to people as kind of a joke, but it’s less of a joke now:
At what age of Trump still being alive will you go “wait a second…” and start to suspect there is a drug or treatment that the elite have access to that extends their life that they aren’t telling the public about?
I don’t mean better access to higher quality medical care. I don’t mean a personal team of doctors. I mean a drug or treatment that can extend lifespans by decades, even for those who live unhealthy lifestyles.

That part doesn’t matter one single shit to me. So what? I’d be dead. It doesn’t matter what happens to my body when I’m dead.
For that matter, why should anyone give a shit? Society has this really illogical view on corpses. We place way too much reverence on empty husks of meat. They are dead. Dead. The person who was there is gone. Their body is not them.
And if the person had some dying wish to be buried or cremated or anything like that, you don’t have to honor it. That’s the thing about respecting the wishes of dead people; they are dead, their opinion matters as much as the opinion of a brick. You don’t honor their memory by spending thousands of dollars to put an empty husk of meat pumped full of chemicals into a gaudy box and bury it in the ground next to hundreds of other boxes filled with empty meat husks. You honor their memory by remembering them. That’s it.
Have a funeral. Have a remembrance party. Mourn them with stories, with tears, and with an abundance of drink and unhealthy comfort food. The body does not need to be a part of it.

Hear me out: an anthology style series about the lesser talked about sides of the Federation and other groups.
A research team spending a year on an asteroid studying strange readings. A look at the Star Fleet weapons research lab where they are developing new lasers. An episode that follows a Ferengi pawn ship as he travels from place to place trying to upsell his wares. A Star Fleet inspector who checks in on stations that haven’t had an official inspection in decades. A power struggle at the Klingon company that makes Raktajino. A Romulan crew that stops a galactic level threat that no one else ever hears about due to their secretive nature. The monotony inside Relay Outpost 247-B as it’s skeleton crew receives and transmits messages from starships at the edge of uncharted space.
I know a lot of the charm of Star Trek is following a familiar cast of characters, but it doesn’t HAVE to be that way. I think an anthology would be really interesting and could show sides of the universe that serialized show would avoid or struggle with.

Racial profiling is bad. Profiling based on where you are is not necessarily bad. If I were to find myself in a bad part of town and a group of guys came up to me, it wouldn’t matter if they were black, Hispanic, white, or Asian; I’m going to be nervous. Meth and other hard drugs know no race.

It’s the Totenkopf. You know the skull on the hats of every Nazi portrayed in media for the last 50 years?
Come on man, this is a losing battle. It wasn’t some obscure symbol. He knew what he was getting, just as anyone who gets a Nazi tattoo knows what they are getting. What, are you going to try to claim that someone with two lighting bolts is just a big fan of lightning?
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 3 weeks ago:
Like, the two candidates are a literal, not-even-hiding-it, Nazi vs. a person with a Nazi tattoo?
If there is a situation where those are the only candidates, I would take it as a sign to move out of my city, state, or country.
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 3 weeks ago:
Please, feel free to give me examples of non-shitty people who got Nazi tattoos. There’s just not that many of them.
A Nazi tattoo is not something you accidentally get. Most artists will refuse to do them. You have to specifically seek out an artist who is willing to do one, and at that point, claiming ignorance on what you are getting is an excuse that would only work on idiots.
My philosophy is simple; Nazi tattoo = irredeemable fuckwit. I’m not going to be flexible when it comes to Nazi’s. It’s insane to me that someone would suggest otherwise.
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 3 weeks ago:
A Nazi tattoo? Yes. I am saying that.
If someone had a Nazi tattoo at any point in their life, I would never vote for them. They will forever be a piece of shit. I don’t see how this is a difficult concept to grasp.
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 3 weeks ago:
I got absolutely shit on for saying that I didn’t support him due to my long standing policy of not supporting people who get Nazi tattoos. People falling over themselves to say he had grown a lot since getting it, or that he didn’t know what it meant when he got it (bullshit). People saying I was some Collins loving conservative just because I refused to support a man who got a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
I hope this is a lesson to the idiots who thought I was being unreasonable and unforgiving. It takes a special kind of asshole to knowingly get a Nazi tattoo. Those kinds of people don’t grow out of it. They don’t change. They might get shamed enough to cover it up, but they will remain an asshole. The only good that someone with a Nazi tattoo can do is to throw themselves in a wood chipper and become fertilizer.
