Do a little dance, he said. Get down tonight, he said. What he didn’t say, was that an electron has both mass and spin and yet has no definite location.

I have no idea what you’re arguing against, or what point you think I’ve missed. Have you assumed that I have discounted other models because of the model I chose for my comment? Bah! You assume too much. I did not state that doing the experiment was a bad thing; my comment was in humor even!

I have thoughts.
It was ridiculous that Hawking thought a time traveler would make it to his party for several reasons. There are a few models of time travel, and only one of them has an internal logic that allows for traveling without paradoxical consequences; multiversal divergence.
Our version of the time traveler party was one of an infinite amount of time traveler parties that hawking hosted throughout the multiverse. A time traveler would be traveling to that time like picking a grain of sand on a beach, where each grain of sand is a near identical party to the last.
As our version of the party diverges from the realities with time travelers who chose to travel to the hawking party, there would be a diminishing set of infinities containing time travelers that were attempting the journey.
Thus while the chances of a time traveler going to the party are 100%, the party being our version of the party approach 0 infinitely fast.

I’m going to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever been confused when someone used the word “science” before, and it is usually pretty cut and dry what they mean when they use the word “science”.
“The sciences” - Various fields of study using the scientific method. “Doing science” - Using the scientific method to explore some hypothesis or harden a theory. “Scientific advancements” - The furthering of knowledge using the scientific method.
I would think most people feel that “science” is not an abuse of language, but a very clear and useful term, both in and outside of academia. At least with “science” it all revolves around the study of nature, usually through the scientific method. “Electricity” seems more like a vehicle, with parts that have to come together just right or you end up describing an entirely different phenomenon.
“Electricity” as you’ve defined it, is fucking wacko, and does not parallel “science” in anyway I currently see. I’m not saying that you’re statement makes you wacko, but that the culmination of these esoteric concepts makes up what we think of as a broad categorization of “electricity” is wacko.
Your explanation was really enlightening, actually, and while it took me a moment to acclimatize to the information, it was very helpful. Thank you.

The masses don’t know how to search for information anymore. Not only that, but they are unable to do so with the disparity of their understanding of the search engines and the current state of search engines. People are used to being fed information through an algorithm, and those who control the algorithm aren’t about to promote a competitor that’d take away their money.

Fair, and yes, though we tend to censor ourselves when referencing known slurs in this day and age. You won’t find me casually dropping Ns or old cigs while talking about those slurs, and I doubt you would either.
- Comment on Dik Piks 6 months ago:
I will concede and do some research.
For whatever reason I was under the impression that a word had to reference a specific group to be a slur. Like, anyone can be a slut. Man, woman, trans, black, white, et cetera. Like, who is “slut” targeting? Sexually active people? I know that it is weaponized against women, usually those who are NOT actively engaging in promiscuous activities, but I haven’t exactly come across many slurs that can be used against multiple groups.
Perhaps the root of my understanding of what makes a slur itself is the issue. Like I said I’m going to do some research. As a known slut, I apologize to any who came across my comment and were offended.
- Comment on Dik Piks 6 months ago:
slut isn’t a slur lol Otherwise, neither of us would be casually dropping it without fear of social repercussion.

Hormones are one helluva drug xD I hope you’re doing well now. As a someone who was sexually assaulted a few times growing up, I know that it can be difficult to shake.
I know plenty of Christian girls that didn’t make it to 20 before getting knocked up, so I don’t know if its just Mexicans lmao Lots of shotgun weddings!

Way to humble brag /s
In all seriousness, that must have been super uncomfortable. Its crazy how social pressures inform our perspective. I had the same thing happen to me, but I was raised as a dude. I was ecstatic that girls were into me, and was happy for the attention. It wasn’t until I was older that I realized how absolutely fucked it was that girls waaaay older than me were sending me nudes, and girls younger than me who didn’t even know my name yet were doing the same. Somehow I never sent a single pic, unless it was my cat. I loved my cat.

As someone who is doing a massive research project on the Maya peoples right now, that civilization was technologically way ahead of the game! They had toilets with a sewage system, clean aqueducts and water purification measures, and ball sports a thousand years before the Spanish that fucked em up. A THOUSAND YEARS.

You both are making such massive assumptions about the other, with these grand sweeping accusations, that I can’t tell if this is satire.
I lived through George Bush, and then Obama. Yeah, we fought a war. The US was at war before either Bush took the reins, and we were still at war after Obama left office. Yeah, hundreds of thousands of innocents died. Shits no different today. We just had a guy assassinated for profiting off the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens by denying care they were entitled to. No different than the war profiteering of yore or today, but far more impactful on the actual lives of most here in the USA I’d wager.
Evil people exist fucking everywhere, take a gander at your local sex offender registry. Usually has a map.
“Most degenerate generation”? Come on, if they’re too young to remember Bush they haven’t even had enough time to make a difference. All the shit you see in the world is two generations removed from them. Look at every person in high government; nearly all of them are over 50 years old. Last time I checked, the oldest gen Z person is half that in age.
Neither of you are making adult arguments, and are reducing yourselves to insults to feign a superior argument. Ya know, the same tactics kids at recess use.
