It works this way because rich people can afford lawyers, something the less wealthy can’t afford, along with paying their medical bills.

Exactly, signal jam the cheap way. 👍 Most people don’t realize you can set this up in the breaker box lol. But I’m a stinker.

That ‘everything’s moving’ argument is a convenient shutdown, not a dead end. We already track motion precisely, GPS corrects for relativity every second. That means relative positioning isn’t unsolved; it’s restricted.
You wouldn’t target a spot in space. You’d target a worldline, like Earth’s continuous path through spacetime. Same path, different point.
Saying you’d end up in empty space assumes a cartoon machine that only changes the date. A real device moves you along spacetime itself.
So when people say time travel is impossible because there’s no reference frame, what they really mean is: you don’t have access to the frame that works. Not impossible. Classified.

Finally. Thank you. Someone thinking past the punch bowl.
Forget paradoxes, pathogens are the real problem. You don’t need to step on a butterfly to wreck the timeline; you just need a 21st-century rhinovirus and a handshake. Entire villages, gone. History rewritten by a sneeze.
Any responsible time traveler would be sealed head to toe. No exposed skin, no shared air, no hors d’oeuvres. Certainly no cake. You don’t know what yeast does to medieval Europe when it’s had a few centuries of upgrades.

Now, I’m speaking hypothetically, legally, and for educational purposes only… you fast-forward a few decades and suddenly certain names appear in court documents and flight logs, not convictions, not proof of wrongdoing, just… associations. Enough to make a careful chrononaut say, ‘You know what? I’m not popping back in time to shake hands and eat shrimp.’
The absence at that party wasn’t evidence that time travel failed. It was evidence that it worked, and everyone who could come already knew how the story looked later.
History doesn’t just judge actions. It judges proximity. And no self-respecting time traveler shows up early to something that turns awkward in hindsight.

Thanks, I would really appreciate knowing her thoughts on it as someone else with OCD. As long as I can still function with Abilify, Buspar made me so tired that I started napping for three hours a day, on top of my regular sleep schedule. I’m not even a napper, lol.
- Comment on yeet 1 month ago:
Interesting. They gave me Buspar and it drugged me hard and somehow made me hostile, lol. But Abilify sounds interesting, I had no idea it was used for anxiety. What are the side effects she’s seen or you’ve noticed?
- Comment on yeet 1 month ago:
I have a similar problem with OCD, what medications did she find helpful?

We live in the age of everything behind a subscription, the people without talent will always try to take a good thing and burn it for a buck.
Trying to understand them is like trying to understand why people voted for a man in a diaper, trice. - Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 2 months ago:

The face of the woman on the bottom does match up well. Either that, or it’s a complete coincidence they fit the profile.
