  • What happened to the timeline you left? It must still exist. You couldn’t have been the only consciousness that was experiencing it. To think otherwise is some extreme solipsism.

    Why does it need to remain? It seems like solipsism to assume it must remain because it’s your point of origin. If something or someone has the power to drop something into the past why wouldnt it overwrite everything? I don’t see why consciousness even gets applied. The universe keeps on whether I am alive, asleep, or dead.

    I see the path of time like a laser beam in a house of mirrors. If someone has the power to add a mirror somewhere. Yep, the whole beam after the fact is a vastly different pattern. Any multiverse would be entirely virtual and theoretical.


  • You don’t share food if you’re starving. You don’t share time if you work 12 hour days, every day.

    If you spend all your energy on survival, you got no energy to spare on anyone else. I bet our hypothetical starving person would be moral and share, if they had the chance and materials.

    If they don’t… then it’s not a matter of won’t it’s can’t. People are more likely to share food they have excess of, time they have excess of. If they can’t spare it, they won’t.






  • I’m not. What do you get as a reward for blowing the whistle? Genuinely?

    1. There’s no bounty, even if there was you wouldn’t get it for at least a year after you blow the whistle.

    2. Once it’s discovered it’s you, you’re fired. There goes your paycheck, your health insurance. Now your home is in jeopardy and you have no decent income verification to get a new one.

    3. Good luck working in any job even remotely related to what you know. You now have a stigma in any background check and while a privately owned mom & pop might look at you favorably, there ain’t a single corporation who will take pride in hiring you. You’re risky.

    The most ethical person, is one with no debt, who owns their home, and has 8 months expenses saved up. That’s not most Americans right now.

    Honestly steamdeck plus tpm module requirement for windows 11 is making me give a serious attempt to Linux for the new year. I do a very good job of taking care of my tech, it lasts decades.

    I find it infuriating I have to change due to arbitrary OS decisions. I could’ve held onto my original pixel for quite some time, but it was no longer getting the security updates.

    I feel like with the hardware requirements linux might see another bump come October


  • Oh I know, that’s why I say go to events. Going to a coffee shop or even a club aren’t places I’d recommend. Interacting is so expensive there in terms of energy, anxiety, and stress.

    But a lot of events have a lot more contextual options. Where questions are appreciated, as well as compliments. Anime conventions are a great example. “How did you make this?” “What show is this from?” “What is this line for?” “Can I get a picture?” “You look awesome”

    Would never do that in a coffee shop.






  • Huge fan of the we are legion, we are bob series right now.

    It’s about a guy at a sci-fi convention who signs up for one of those “we freeze you before you die” programs/scams and wakes up as an AI with no rights a few hundred years in the future.

    It really starts going off the rails when he gets sent off to space and given orders to

    Build a space station

    Copy yourself several times

    Send those copies off to build more space stations.

    A growing civilization of yourself and endless space. What can possibly go wrong?




  • So one year my sister an I save up for a game cube. We had Kirby air ride, a few controllers, a few Zelda games, we were happy campers.

    Christmas rolls around and the first thing I unwrap for christmas? Halo: Combat Evolved.

    We’re good sports about it, everybody makes mistakes, second and third gifts? two xbox controllers.

    the morning continued, memory cards, some xbox party game, the works.

    right at the end, the SOB reveals he won an xbox in a raffle.

    happy ending, but god damn that was an awkward Christmas start
