- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 day ago:
What exactly do you mean when you keep saying “physical forces”?
The phrase doesn’t appear once in your link. Or anywhere else in reference to physics…
You 100% made that up, and at this point I don’t really care why
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 day ago:
None of what you’ve said is n this thread makes any logical sense…
Which would be fine cuz it’s about ghosts, but you keep acting like physics backs up your wild statements and made up vocabulary…
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 days ago:
You keep saying “physical force”…
That’s not a real term in physics.
The only possible explanation, is you mean any force that is already explained by physics, is that what you mean?
Because that would be the same as insisting we know everything, which no one who knows anything about physics would ever try to claim.
So…
What exactly do you mean when you keep saying “physical forces”?
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 days ago:
Science has never in the history of science reliably shown a single interaction between physical entities and any sort of non-physical force.
Fucking magnets,
How do they work?
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 days ago:
The more you know the less stuff you’re comfortable ruling out.
There’s nothing that disproves ghosts, but there’s nothing that proves them either.
You could have said “souls” instead, because that’s just another word for consciousness. But it doesn’t work for ghosts

It’s weird how mainstream stuff like sleep paralysis gets while people still have no idea what it’s like.
- Comment on Senate G.O.P. Faces Pressure to Force ‘Talking Filibuster’ for Voter ID Bill 5 days ago:
In case people didn’t know how bad it’s gotten:
For a long time now to dona “filibuster” all that was required was an email to a Congress leader claiming that “someone” would filibuster. No name had to even be given, no one ever just let them talk and wait it out
Every single person in Congress had a pocket veto.
Which is a big reason why they do less and less every year. If there’s anything one person doesn’t want a vote on, they send the email.
Every filibuster should be a talking filibuster, the only ones that have been lately have been purely performative to the point they schedule them for when Congress isn’t even in session. Just one person talking to themselves and literally accomplishing nothing.
- Comment on Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals 6 days ago:
It’s a month old account.
But the biggest redflag is she’s never worked for a gaming company before, she went from AI exec to Xbox CEO…
She literally has no idea how any of it works
- Comment on For Americans, what do you really think of Latin Americans? 6 days ago:
Many people think Mexico is the only country that exists,
No, some people that you know think that “many people” believe that…
It doesn’t make it true
- Comment on Awkward interaction with my doctor 6 days ago:
Just say it.
At least with that there’s no doubt if it’s intentional or not.
When I was right out of college I was interviewing for an internship at a pretty relaxed non-profit a friend worked out, and I was interviewing with her very attractive friend, all of us in our mid to late 20s.
Her boobs were like, fully out. Shirt ubuttoned down past her bra, not something you’d see in an office but maybe at a college party at the end of a night. I did what you did an just tried to ignore it and maintain eye contact
About 15 minutes into it my friend had to come into the office to grab something, took one look at us and said “Stella, your tits are out” and then left without saying anything else.
We both died laughing and she got a little embarrassed. But it was that weird grey area if I said something and it was intentional I’d be a huge dick.
No one is intentionally walking around with unzipped pants.
So everyone will appreciate the quick heads up.

- Comment on Former Prince Andrew Arrested in Britain Over Epstein Ties (Live Updates) 1 week ago:
I highly doubt he doesn’t have any evidence on others…
This is how these rings should be treated.
If you got enough to take one down, do it. And pressure them to snitch as much as possible.
Then get the next, and keep going cleaning out everyone you can.
What was happening is they’d find a monster, pressure for info, then let them continue as intelligence assets.
And it just continued to grow until so many powerful people were in on it as “informants” that it was essentially state condoned. If everyone is “informing” and no one is getting prosecuted, then it’s actively harmful.
Ex-prince Andrew being prosecuted by his own government is huge. And likely to result in a lot more prosecutions in addition to him being held accountable.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 1 week ago:
Bro there’s people who play Skyrim for 100hrs never leaving the first village or picking up a weapon.
There might not be a game tailored to what you want, but I’m sure a game exists where you can do what you want to, especially if on PC and with mods.
Like, you can just play a super market simulator, and instead of caring about score do what you get enjoyment from.
- Comment on All US Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat 1 week ago:
This is a good time to remind everyone that most of the problems with using SSNs for security is because at no point during design or implementation was it supposed to be used as a private thing.
It was supposed to be as common and easily accessible as your name.
It’s just when it’s started, it wasn’t listed anywhere publicly yet
So third parties just started treating it like it was a secret, and eventually it had enough momentum that the government just went with it.
We don’t need to just give people new numbers, we need a new system with both a public identifier and then some kind of secure system.
- Comment on Jidenna - Tribe [2019] 1 week ago:
I think he’s supposed to be releasing new music soon.
I saw an interview less than a year ago where he said Classic Man was about what he wanted to be, not what he was at the time. So he took some years off to work on himself, got recentered, ended up married, and (I think) starting to get back into music.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 1 week ago:
For over 20 years now…
The first investigation was early 2005
But this was an international ring, other countries had other sources as well, and have for just as long.
Look at Jimmy Saville in the UK, everyone knew but no one said anything till he died, and then some random henchmen were all that went down.
Epstein and Saville weren’t the only ones, and others are almost certainly still operating as open secrets right now.
That’s the real reason every government is slow walking this. People implicated in the Epstein files, would snitch on people from other rings. Those people would snitch on the rest of their ring. And then another start it again.
It’s basically how the aliens from Solar Opposites works, and it results the same: exponential growth.
If people on the Epstein list are prosecuted then virtually every trafficking ring and every other shady thing billionaires get up to will also likely come out. Everyone of them would sell the rest out to save themselves.
And that’s why we need to do it before they die, and they can still be pressured to snitch.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 1 week ago:
It’s been a minute since I learned electrical stuff, so I might be off on details.
Like maybe a pretty steady amperage from the cord and it’s regulated inside thru resistance or something more complicated?
But that’s the general gist of why not all parts of the equation can be static.
The advertised Wattage is also “max” it can use/produce.
Like a 850watt power supply can handle an 850 power watt draw, but if all the computer is doing is playing YouTube, it’s going to draw a lot less amps, and produce a lot less watts as a result. If it needs more watts, it “pull” more amps to make them
Steam turbines are actually self regulating because of this. The more power being used, the more amps are automatically produced. Once you spin it up it manages its own speed.
- Comment on Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)? 1 week ago:
Amps are the variable part of the equation…
There are there parts of the equation, every one being constant would make every electrical component binary. Either full power or no power.
That’s why we really only see variable amperage on battery charges to force a slower charge rate for the health of the batter. On something like a radio, you could think of the volume knob as amperage control. The more power, the louder the sound comes out of the speaker.
A steady amperage current would “lock” the volume at one setting forever.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Basically, it can make you money the same way crypto and every other multi-level marketing scheme before it can, by selling people on the idea that they an also sell the idea…
That’s only if they own stocks in it…
With AI they got grifted into believing they could “learn skills” that would be valuable once AI became popular. Instead they sunk their own time and electricity into training the AI so people without those “vibe skills” could get the same result. Everytime they’re trying to get an AI to do something, all they’re doing is making it easier for the AI to do it next time.
They’ve literally been making themselves redundant this whole time
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If someone could use AI to automate any type of job or task that results in a profit…
The AI companies themselves would be doing it.
The most you’d be accomplishing is scamming people into thinking you’re an actual person working and not just lying with an AI knowing you’ll be fired as soon as they notice
If you want to make money (you’re not gonna make much) then you’re going to want to look for the tasks that can’t be automated, and sign up to do those as a human.

Pretty safe bet the people selling the warehouses and retrofitting them are connected to trump
- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 2 weeks ago:
Quality Control is what you’re paying for…
For pretty much any type of product where quality shouldn’t matter you can buy cheap, normal, expensive, insane.
100/1000 of cheap ones might have sleight flaws.
10/1000 normal may have flaws.
1/1000 expensive
And 1/100,000 for the insanely expensive ones may have a flaw.
So even if their optimal performanceshould be the same, the more expensive it is, the less likely the manufacturer lets subpar products out to market. Often it’s vertically integrated and as batches fail they get bumped down to a different label

2-3 extra centimeters means double digit meters in jump distance…
Like, it’s not like they need to double song size to see an advantage. So it’s probably not even all injects, even “pumping” would give a huge advantage.
It specs to how the equipment they use is responsible for a lot of the performance. They should make them do it in blue jeans and hoodies, get some realistic distances
- Comment on .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND is content complete – Sukeban Games 2 weeks ago:
It speaks to their game to capitalize on a “fantasy round” that’s just the two most popular cartridges jammed together with zero logic…
It might be a fun game still, but to go as far as name the game that is just a bad look.
That’s constructive feedback they should have gotten long before launch, and will make most people write it off as slop just from the name.

- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 2 weeks ago:
The cautionary stories came about with the era of bored housewives who drank heavily and took pretty heavy prescription drugs…
But they were also wealthy so rather than say OD or suicide they “fell asleep” in the bath.
And I’m sure more than a few murders got wrote off as the same thing. A housewife that habitually passes out deeply could just got tossed in the tub.
Because like you said, no sober person is staying asleep till they drown.
But people hear the cover story and believe it, so they warn people about something that just won’t happen
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 2 weeks ago:
So your argument is that you can’t have a utopia if you can inherit your parents belongings?
I’m saying if one vineyard has been in the same family for a thousand years…
Anyone who says everything is fair and equal doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
It’s not a utopia because it’s not a classless society.
It’s what modern day oligarchs would call a utopia.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 2 weeks ago:
For Picard’s vineyard, it’s a family legacy and heirloom, so he gets a pass.
And so do all of his descendants who inherit it in perpetuality
An unchanging social structure with no means for mobility.
Either your family was rich enough to own land centuries ago, or you never will be.
Utopia!
/s
But if you want your own vineyard and there’s enough land then you get one.
And then your descendants always get it because it’s a family legacy and heirloom…
So even if there’s “open land” it’s going to run out eventually.
