I wouldn't say it solves it. Bostrom's Simulation Theory paper makes the argument by saying the opposite of the "maybe we're alone in the universe" line of thought -- stating that each simulated universe will contain multiple civilizations who become technologically advanced enough to simulate...

Hey Foler can we be friends?

We are living in the Uncanny Valley these days

Yeah exactly. Capitalism gonna capitalism. No conspiracy theories needed.

What motivation do they have to change the image tho? Plenty of wealthy voices like Musk that aren't happy with the current trends, so peer pressure doesn't necessarily apply. Definitely there seems to be a bit of an agenda, but genuinely I think it just comes down to consumer preference and...

Bad habit of mine to hold out hope for positive change in bad people 💙 lol

As great as the cast and writing is, IMO the reason the show is so rewatchable is thanks to Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Sounds cheesy but Rygel and Pilot are such good puppet work that sometimes I catch myself forgetting that they're not real. Then all the wonderful makeup and costume work...

Somehow I forgot that that doctor that invented my chemotherapy regimen, who was baffled by my case, was the same doctor that treated Lance Armstrong's testicular cancer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Einhorn https://cancer.iu.edu/about/news/stories/2014-09-01-einhorn-40-years.html...

Counterpoint -- most humans ARE better off dead.

Lol in case you're serious -- we were talking about finding a job after health problems. Clearly I was referring survivors. Doc says she's barely had any patients that have had as much chemo as me and come out the other side alive, especially not cisplatin chemo (one of the roughest ones).

So roughly half of gay porn is watched by women. But women also watch hetrosexual porn, while gay men ONLY watch gay porn. Considering that, we can probably extrapolate from there to assume that there are more porn watching straight women in the world than there are porn watching gay men in the...

Are you just looking through my post history for comments to troll? Because you seem to not understand the context of the comment As for "people have been through worse," my oncologist assures me that I've been through more than 99% of her patients, literal "uncharted territory" as she calls...

Lol yeah man, the logical part of my brain couldn't even tell you WHY I'm attracted to her, but she really does it for me. I didn't know until recently that Rockne S. O'Bannon (Farscape, seaQuest DSV, Defiance, Cult, and Alien Nation) is one of the executive producers. I feel like some of the...

I didn't end up watching this show at all until recently, but once I did get started I binged it quick. This thread makes it sound like most people thought the show got worse as time went on? But damn I thought it just kept getting better. Definitely some dud episodes but eh, for a show that...

Out of the frying pan and into the fire lol

Probably shared this before, but still probably my favorite song of all time. Mike Scheidt wrote it after having an extended near death experience / hospital stay / health scare, and it was released just as I was finishing my four years of chemotherapy for my own face with death. He absolutely...

Looks dope. How spicy is it? This is my favorite spicy sauce for sammiches. Tastes like Subway Southwest Sauce but better:

Counterpoint: Hideo Kojima

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a42714011/analog-quantom-simulator-solve-physics-mysteries/ According to Goldhaber-Gordon, these analog devices create a “hardware analogy” to solve problems in quantum physics. To test the simulator, researchers used a simple circuit coupled together...

Mostly stuff from my series I attribute to The Ghost of Salvador Dali, but lots of other artists represented as well, and mashups of artists (this top one is from the prompt "painting collaboration between Salvador Dali and Alex Grey, for example. And a little ways into that first gallery are a...

You guys see this? Mass production of obsidian hand axes wayyyyy earlier than we previously thought. This discovery says a lot about how "together" human society must have been even way back then. The old idea of prehistoric man consisting of wandering small tribes of nomads doesn't make...

IDK a source to get behind paywall for popsci institutions, but for real science you can typically go to Sci Hub ("The Pirate Bay" of science papers) https://sci.hubg.org/

I also hate that it's impossible to find articles on much of the shit that gets discussed on YouTube. And what you can find in written form is often from popsci sites, and popsci often is filled with inaccuracies and oversimplifications. I've gotten so that I mostly seek out peer reviewed...

I never really groked trig functions until I went all the way back to how Pythagoras derived them from the unit circle. Haven't reviewed this top to bottom but after skimming through a few pages, it seems like the clearest explanation out of the first page of Google results. Looking at...

Hey that was my last word. Have a good night.

Oh yeah I forgot about a recent one. A documentary centering around a restaurant in my hometown of Bad Axe, Michigan was on the most recent Oscars shortlist. Didn't ultimately end up on the ballot but I think they were in the last 15 in the running. I graduated with / grew up with the...

Promise this is the last I'll say about it, but while he was crying for me to find science to support my position, Sanrith clearly didn't realize that I could just cite the same peer reviewed studies quoted in the articles I linked. I'm sure there would have just been some further objection...

I'm still holding out hope for a cow that makes chocolate milk

I went back through the old Sleeper Emu thread for shits and giggles. It's in the Rickshaw Hall of Shame. Still worth a read starting at the point where his meltdown begins lol https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/eq-the-sleeper.3309/page-47 One detail I forgot that really cracked me up --...

Yeahhh Sleeper that's it! With the batshit crazy GM hahaha it's coming back to me now. Thanks man. My memory sucks these days but with some reminders I can get the wheels turning haha.

Not all of the magazines were gay magazines. Many were reputable news sources. You're grasping at straws. And contributing to the shitting up of this thread. Have a good day.

I was being lazy. I could have found some peer reviewed journal articles from Sci Hub tho. But if I did that you guys would find a way to object by saying the journal is too small to be reputable or etc. I know your type. Not generally worth the effort going that far. Especially when y'all...

Edited. You morons all blur together for me. "The 40% figure supports my assertion that "a sizeable portion of viewers actually are into that shit" tho. Hollywood is perfectly alright catering to a sizeable minority from time to time. Y'all helped me prove my point. Thank you."

Also 40% of 25 women would be 10. Not 6-8. That math is pretty easy come on bro.
