nfn but it’s important to point out that the concept of “gold star” lesbians, and actual specific lesbians, are very much connected to the terf movement. Most lesbians have always been on board with trans folk, of course, and even some of the ones who kicked off terf bullshit have since realized that they actually helped create a fascist movement that hurts them too. But that history is there, if you look.

Indeed and–interesting corrollary–if we accept the concept of reduced accuracy simulations as axiomatic, then it might be possible to figure out how close we are to the “bottom” of the simulation stack that’s theoretically possible. There’s only so many orders of magnitude after all; at some point you’re only simulating one pixel wiggling around and that’s not interesting enough to keep going down.

There is not, as far as I know, any way to estimate the length of the stack in the other direction, though.

Pretty sure this guy’s vibe is completely under the domain of Anger

But if the real world sets up a simulated world which more or less perfectly simulates itself

This is the crux of the logical error you made. It’s a common error, but it’s important to recognize here.

If we’re in a simulation, we have no idea the available resources in the simulation “above” us. Suppose energy density up there is 100x as high as ours?Suppose the subjective experience of the passage of time up there is 100x faster than ours?

Another thing is that we have no idea how long it takes to render each frame of our simulation. Could take a million years. As long as it keeps running though, and as long as the simulation above us is patient, we keep ticking. This is also where the subjective experience of time matters. If it takes a million years, but their subjective “day” is a trillion years long, it becomes feasible to run us for a while.

And, finally, there’s no reason to assume we’re a complete simulation of anything. Perhaps the simulation was instantiated beginning with this morning–but including all memories and documentation of our “historical” past. All that past, all that experience is also fake, but we’d never know that because it’s real to us. In this scenario, the simulation above us only has to simulate one day. Or maybe even just the experiences of one PERSON for one day. Or one minute. Who knows?

The main point is we don’t know what’s happening in the simulation above ours, if it exists, but there’s no reason to assume it’s similar to ours in any way.

We’re basically already at population plateau. Maybe a billion or so more to go. It could trend up beyond that, but not without radical social changes around the world.

Oglaf started off as a legit porn comic but then they figured out they’re actually geniuses at writing jokes. This is a great example; there’s no spoken punchline here, just his face.

half the neighborhood setting them off from dusk to 11ish

I live in a state where, as far as I can tell, anyone can get any amount of explosives of any lethality. So this holiday runs from late June into early August every year.

We already oppose it. Shoot your guns if you’re not a fucking coward.

Exactly what I do. I can actually buy a bunch of bread now because most of it stays frozen and there’s only half a loaf on the counter at a time. It’s kind of miraculous how well it dethaws.

i dare you not to get scared or cum

dear god wtf

Fuck’s sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste

He can do that by officially assassinating the conservative SC justices, nominating new ones, and then having armed marines inside the senate comittees to ensure they are confirmed immediately.

There’s probably a few more steps, but this would get us back on track. He would have to be willing to give up his powers at a certain point, which means installing the legal apparatus (in the form of government officials) with the will to strip those powers.

“How long are your guts?” might work if he was gay.

And there’s no solidarity like class solidarity. Remember Ellen Degeneres hanging out with Bush? Bruce Wayne would’ve been in that skybox too.

The example they set was “throw bricks at cops”, and I agree, the world should listen.

Donald Trump has never served anything except himself and maybe a few tennis balls.
