So this one isn’t necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin

(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)

I’m a bit paranoid about neighbors stealing it. I live in a place where most people vote the way I do, but I’m still anxious about people just being assholes, or thinking I look like a conservative (I get it, I kinda do) even though I’m not.

I still mail mine in though, I just try to put it in my mailbox an hour before the carrier is gonna arrive to pick it up. Plus, I am subscribed to an email system that tells me when they get it.

The whole thing is dumb if you accept a premise of “infinite monkeys”. An infinite number of monkeys will type the works of shakespeare immediately, because an infinite number of them will start with the very first key they hit and continue until the end. (So it’ll be complete exactly as fast as a monkey can type it, typing as fast as simianly possible, with no mistakes.) You don’t even need the infinite time.

It only becomes interesting if you look at the finite scenarios.

And BTW, the lifespan of the universe is finite due to the eventual decay of all matter, including the monkeys and the typewriters. There’s no infinite time.

Another way that works is just to catch them on a downward tangent to their current fall trajectory, but rapidly slowing down and then turning back up. It means your scenario has to have enough vertical space to perform this maneuver, but not necessarily a lot–even a very small downward deceleration will turn death into bruises, because it’s like falling into padding.

I keep seeing people call it “X, the Everything App” and ngl it’s funny every single time

None of these things are true? OP is a dumbfuck.

• It’s not communism. There is simply no scarcity, and therefore no need to manage distribution of resources.
• Federation officers are bound by the dress requirements of the job they freely chose. They are shown, many times, deciding to quit that life and do something else instead, and are usually supported for doing so. (This act is almost always accompanied by an immediate change in the way they dress.) Anyone not working for the Federation is shown wearing whatever tf they want; as are federation officers when they’re off-duty.
• Food is synthetic but you’re certainly not required to eat it, and characters are shown craving it for how good it is, so it’s CLEARLY not flavorless. Many of voyager’s subplots revolve around having more replicator rations, or getting more.
• “Free will is forbidden” ok did you just make this up while you were jerking yourself off?
• “All humans are automatons” this must have been something you shouted as you came

Is it? If ChatGPT wrote your paper, why would citations of the work of Frankie Hawkes raise any red flags unless you happened to see this specific tweet? You’d just see ChatGPT filled in some research by someone you hadn’t heard of. Whatever, turn it in. Proofreading anything you turn in is obviously a good idea, but it’s not going to reveal that you fell into a trap here.

If you went so far as to learn who Frankie Hawkes is supposed to be, you’d probably find out he’s irrelevant to this course of study and doesn’t have any citeable works on the subject. But then, if you were doing that work, you aren’t using ChatGPT in the first place. And that goes well beyond “proofreading”.

The missing words are “shitty” and “fucking”, btw. I feel like we’re getting crap posts like this from bots that aren’t willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots’ output. Either way, I’m tired of it.

This is exactly what it is. When everything you believe is made up, it’s easy to accidentally make up the wrong number and then believe that instead.

Maybe, I don’t know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of “people who work hard” better than Euler.

When someone says “He’s an unbelievable genius,” I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist, there’s just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you’re saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you’re selling something.

“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

Cullen is absolutely selling something: he’s selling his documentary.

The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I’m very skeptical.

I have a very cynical reason. If you look at what most religions say about it (against), you have to wonder why they all agree on it and it seems to me that if you off yourself, you’re not supporting the team. When there weren’t many humans, you really needed a bunch of team players on your religion making more babies, and the dead ones can’t carry out your crusades.

Now we put capital above religion, but it’s the same thing: we need workers for our factories. We need babies to become workers for our factories. Dead people can’t make cars or babies.

That place only makes money from advertisers. It has lost something like 80% of them since he bought it. This is happening despite Twitter’s actual users still mostly hanging around.

The advertisers are voting with their wallets; your wallet actually doesn’t apply here. Apathy of the users doesn’t apply here either. Musk continues to run the site the way he wants because, fuck it, who cares, he’s still richer than god. None of this matters to him.

Interesting. I also had only the vaguest impression of the person pushing the ball, but I definitely caught a glimpse before the ball rolled off the table. Slacks and a blue shirt, that was about it.

Okay but seriously why does Alice immediately bring up a hypothetical person getting bitten when I’m in the room bleeding from my actual dog bite? Alice doesn’t give a shit about me.

Knowledge is knowing the common definition of fruit doesn’t include tomato.
