If you think the death of people matters then why wasn’t the climate your big issue? That will definitely kill millions (predictions on current path are that it will kill or displace over a billion). Don’t get all high and mighty about your issue when it’s not even close to being the biggest one

Absolutely tremendous brain energy

I don’t see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it’s a matter of ‘violence costs lives’ and you don’t change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don’t without organised and persistent violence

Yeah so I guess I’d always imagined that the closest you can really get given the laws of physics to instant travel would be disintegration+information transfer+matter synthesis. But matter synthesis is probably ruled out by the amount of energy required to do anything, and the complexity of correct assembly. Still, fun to think about.

I’d settle for speed of light tbh

I’m truly baffled by the small but vocal set of people on Lemmy who seem unable to grasp that if the Ds lose a US election, the Rs win it. This has been going on for some time and I am no closer to understanding how they reconcile this internally

Are you familiar with the rule of excluded middle?

So you think the Republicans deserved to win. Got it.

If you had a wife you might find that sometimes you want to do your own things but still kinda be near each other, and that’s okay. It’s lovely to have another person in your life you can share shit with but it’s also lovely to be able to say ‘you like this, I like that, I’ll see you in an hour and a half for dinner and the movie’ or whatever.

And chin up on the gf front. You might have better luck just finding someone you like spending time with than someone who’s your ‘all and everything’. Like, that latter shit is unsustainable.

Man I love arcades

I appreciate your service

takes a big swig of Cantor depends if you’re talking ordinals or cardinals, my dude. Let’s get heavy with infinities my man.

Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you’re just unable to admit it.

I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like ‘I’m playing a Sim and everyone does what I say’. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in

Look, you can have nuance or you can have performative outrage, you don’t get to have both. Lemmy has made its bed

Alas, doesn’t fit my purpose since it requires action by the script user. I usually just use perl in those situations

Lotta potential positions you could take with regards to that system, y’know. cracks epistemological knuckles, what ya got? How do you decide how much weight to attribute to a fact you heard someone else tell you? Who? In what context? That stuff doesn’t, I believe, have a pithy answer

Should’ve been a path there to begin with, clearly. Bad design
