I'll admit, I only made it through part B. This is where you think that because you are the only one to have this thought, it must be a simulation. It doesn't actually mean that, but that's irrelevant anyway because you aren't: The Anthropic Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle) is a well-known part of cosmology and philosophy.

Living at only one point in time doesn't have any greater meaning. Flip this the other way: imagine you have a minimal amount of hand-eye coordination, and you can hit a dart board, but not enough to hit a specific number. So you throw a dart and hit a 3. The chances of that are 1/20, and the chances you hit the very specific spot on that 3 is astronomically smaller. That doesn't mean it's special, it's just where you hit.

Your observations and experiences aren't meaningful because they're planned, they're meaningful because they're yours, and you couldn't have them at any other time.

People are complicated, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a gay man being a true far-right christian in 2025. There are religions compatible with being LGBT, but it's just hard to reconcile that with modern christo-fascism.

Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.

It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.

My wife will scrub the dishes, then put them in the dishwasher, and not start it because it's not completely full.

They're already so clean, the next person in the kitchen has a very difficult time telling if it has been run or not. JUST too dirty to eat from again, but also too clean to see at a glance. So annoying. I even got one of those clean/dirty magnets so we can signal to everyone, but then people forget to switch it.

If you fold a big New York slice, it can also be a taco.

"A judge shall not engage in any partisan political activity," Nachtman read.

Science is non-partisan. Claiming otherwise says more about the science deniers than the folks with a snarky decoration in the yard.

And if childhood cartoons determined our actions, whole generations of kids would have wiped out the roadrunner population by dropping anvils on them (or attempting to, anyway).

It's weird that this has become such a controversial opinion. The internet is supposed to be open and available. "Information wants to be free." It's the big gatekeepers who want to keep all their precious data locked away in their own hoard behind paywalls and logins.

If some clanker is going to read my words, it's a very small price to pay for people being able to do the same.

Check their account history. They may as well be on an AI company marketing team.

there isn't technically a recession

And if the economy were shrinking, would the US government statisticians actually release reliable data that says so?

Seems like an important piece of information.

You can make just about any mundane fact sound conspiratorial if you leave out the right bits of context.

 

Tyrannus tyrannus is too powerful.

 

"One coder added at least two database entries that are visible on the live site and say “this is a joke of a .gov site” and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro.” "

 

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.
