I wanted to go to my first Combo Breaker in Chicago but that’s not happening.

Oh look, a person who gets it!

The book was some good ass “turn your brain off slop”. The movie tried its hardest to turn your brain off by force.

That movie was a mistake, but then it made a lot of money and that’s all the goal was.

Dude would get merked before he gets to speak in front of any kind of microphone. There is no way in my mind he makes it to a jury trial alive.

I don’t think there’s more disinformation as before in terms of % of info being wrong, but a lot of people have gotten really good at calling it out. The best example on-hand is the “cigarettes are good for you actually” and “we will buy tramways put of every city in North America and tear them out, then sell you a car!”

It’s always been like this.

I used to but I don’t anymore. I can’t afford to give money away when I can’t even pay for my own bills.

It’s a risk I’m willing to take!

They’re gonna fight it, but not for the fans. They’re doing it for themselves. They’re a company too.

A test for what? From where? I don’t get it

Some of those were hilarious, like the one who didn’t know there were shots, so he just said he collapsed then was escorted off the stage, or the “I wish he would Van Gogh away” one

Give me your olives then. I don’t mind

That would be fine if they were trying to reverse ALL personal vehicle adoption, but nooo.

The problem with this is that this will encourage Canada to do the same, like the good little brother it is, and we’ll get fucked along with y’all -_-

That’s not gonna do more than a drop in the bucket. Y’all’s government thinks tech can fix something that good pedestrian-first infrastructure should fix. That’s kinda wack.

Vehicle sizes, hood clearance, non-car-centric infrastructure mandates, that’s the sort of things rules should include. Not “let’s have AI decide if the pedestrian or cyclist lives”

No, because he was against the whole ethnicity, not just the state.

We also use it to weigh down our fishing lines… because we’re that smart.

They have lots of time and motivation, as well as zero shits to give about getting caught. It’s Actually a pretty good thing that kids are trying to bypass security because it naturally teaches them problem solving in a novel way

It’s potential. Matter can go there. Saying there is an end to the universe means that at some point, there is no possible expansion. It also means we are completely ignoring the tiniest infinitly small chance that our big bang wasn’t the only one. If you zoom out far enough, is there really zero chance that this “known universe” is actually just part of a greater whole?

imagining the universe as a contained thing with hard limits is what gives me the creep

I feel like I could talk about this for years, but I got video games to play. The short answer is I don’t feel like I have to know what caused the matter to all be at the same place and then expand to be satisfied with an infinite universe of finite matter. I wish my brain could understand how time as we know it started with the big Bang, but I think I’m slightly too dumb for that.

Because the universe is expanding. If it were finite it wouldn’t be able to expand. Emptiness is still “something”. If we were “at the edge of the universe”, we could still go further from the center, there would just be nothing for as far as we can perceive, maybe even infinitely, but then, we would be there. That makes it “a place”.

“The cosmos is not infinite, has a beginning and an end”

The fact that everyone around me seems to be persuaded that there is a beginning in time is unnerving to me. In my head, cosmos has always been infinite, and will always be infinite. Even if nothing is there, it will still exist.

The idea that anything before the big bang is considered to not exist has so many things wrong with it that I struggle to internalize it. If matter cannot be made or destroyed, that means that there will always be matter in one form or another.
