MuThyme,

Covid, apparently…

This is the first time I’ve gotten it

MuThyme,

I could say the same thing about people calling all soft drinks “soda”

MuThyme,

I’M SHOOK

You’ve changed my whole world

MuThyme, (edited )

The only time people say “soda” where I am, is when referring to soda water, which is a specific drink. (And imo a terrible one)

Edit: It’s just an interesting difference in language, I’m not making an argument about what’s right…

MuThyme,

That’s not comedy, that’s an excuse to throw slurs at some of the most vulnerable people on the planet.

What a monster

MuThyme, (edited )

You don’t have to mean a joke for saying it to make you a complete and utter piece of shit. I absolutely don’t believe that playing a character is an excuse, especially when a lot of people see this sort of shit as justification for their own shitty behaviour in the real world.

I also don’t think you have to intend malice, I frankly don’t care. If you’re laughing at someone for struggling to exist, it just doesn’t matter what you intended, I have no patience for fake excuses. Comedy doesn’t have to choose a class of people to stomp on to exist, and I think it’s an absolute lie when someone claims that it’s okay.

If they’re just throwing slurs, then they really just aren’t good at comedy, it’s pathetic. It’s no different from schoolyard bullying, and it doesn’t have to be said directly to someone for it to be wrong.

Yeah, I’m pissed off by comedians who do this shit, and I won’t apologise for it. They’re ruining their own craft, pretending that being mean is okay if it makes people laugh.

Laughing at a condition rather than the person might be better, but there’s a fine line there. It can certainly be done right, it’s often handled a lot better by people joking about their own experiences rather than someone else’s.

MuThyme, (edited )

Oh sorry, no I meant to agree with you on that point. I just didn’t stress it as much because it is, as you say, quite different. I just meant that whether or not one believes what they say is irrelevant, there’s no excuse for it.

I honestly can’t pretend to know anything about a dead child’s appreciation for a type of humour, but I don’t think it’s fair to say he’d necessarily be a fan of being the butt of a joke. Perhaps he would be, perhaps he’d realise how awful it is and change his point of view. It’s kind of meaningless to really say anything about it.

I’m coming at this from my own point of view, as a minority who is often the target of this sort of thing, I have no patience for it.

MuThyme,

MuThyme,

Oh wow this has been my life at times, chronic fatigue type conditions are no joke

MuThyme,

The bottle-o in my part of Victoria

MuThyme,

It’s the useless two faced politicians that are counter productive, we should grind the economy to a fucking halt until they start to listen

Celebrate Your First Anniversary with ChatGPT: A Year of AI Developments and Revolutionising the AI for Work Landscape

In the rapidly evolving world of technology, the year 2023 marks a significant milestone for artificial intelligence enthusiasts. As we celebrate the first anniversary of ChatGPT, the revolutionary AI language model developed by San Francisco-based startup OpenAI, it’s time to reflect on the remarkable strides made in ai for...

MuThyme,

Propaganda.

I’ll only celebrate AI when someone makes one without stealing all the training data

MuThyme,

It splitts eargers

MuThyme,

🙏 That’s exactly what I want to hear

MuThyme,

Well, data just doesn’t really flow at the speed of light. It’s a really really complicated thing to discuss in terms of physical circuits because the true picture involves considering how the EM field evolves. Electrons in a circuit move at extremely slow speeds, ~millimeters per second.

The good news is you don’t need to send information particularly fast to send it through time. Generally in physics, we build time travel systems by creating extremely curved spacetime that contains paths to the past, theoretically you could send light through such a path to transmit information back in time. As someone already mentioned, you generally need negative mass to construct these.

If you have negative mass there are three options I’m aware of:

  1. Wormholes, stabilised and moved in the right way can form a link to the past (but only as far back as the moment they were created, this is true of all time machines as far as I know)
  2. Rotating torii of spacetime. Spinning spacetime is well known for creating weird time travel effects, a related option is an infinitely long rotating cylinder.
  3. A rotating warp drive. This thing will explode in a high energy shower of particles and thus it’ll be nearly impossible to use, but a friend of mine recently found a way to get particles to travel back in time through it.

If you want to send information into the distant future, you could get really fancy and scatter some light off of a black hole or something.

MuThyme,

I hope you’re right, but explaining mysterious cosmic things seems to have a history of ruining scifi.

Also just like, starfield never gave me a reason to care about any of that besides it simply being the main quest line.

MuThyme,

Yeah that could be interesting if they do something similar. I really want to love this game

MuThyme,

Car dependent cities are the real prison cities

MuThyme,

If you’re in a currently cold place, then it’s a reasonably good way to heat a room and make the energy do something useful along the way, instead of just running a space heater.

MuThyme,

Fuck economic output, I want to be happy and healthy and live in a world that I’d actually want kids to grow up in.

MuThyme,

Pretty much any halo has the best menu music to me (I haven’t played 5 though).

There’s a lot of variety between them all too

MuThyme,

Ffs NZ. You were supposed to be my sane backup country for when Australia collapses

MuThyme,

DU

MuThyme,

I recall there being a few set in that workplace, I think about being accepted by the other employees

MuThyme,

I don’t, sorry. It’s just a hazy memory, it’s odd that these comics don’t have a url in the borders
