Who is that on the right?

…And then they built the super collider.

Thank you, you’ve been a great audience.

how woke has almost become a seal of approval at this point

Woke basically means having empathy. More specifically I’d say it’s trying to make things less unfair for groups that aren’t treated fairly.

No wonder the conservatives treat it like an insult.

I feel weird upvoting stuff like this, but it’s important to spread awareness so hopefully protests can happen.

This incident will be reported.

Some context for those not in the area: Spokane (spoh-can) is in Eastern Washington state, which has an extremely different climate from Western WA, and a major industry on that side is farming, likely employing a lot of temporary immigrants.

This seems like it could actually be helpful in visualizing models like this.

It’s also possible to have two viewports on screen of the same scene, allowing for pan-and-zoom. (I’ve seen this implemented… In a spot the difference game that I was cheating by using parallel view.)

The Moon, Beautiful
The Sun, Even more beautiful

Oh, yeah.

Personally I’d like to see no sales taxes (at any level of government) on anything intended to be ingested, injected, or otherwise absorbed by a body (not limited to human!) - in other words food and medicine, including for pets, in any of the states that have sales taxes.

(I’d be ok with an exception (left taxable) for recreational drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol, but that’s debatable too.)

I assume most people who would buy an electric SUV would buy a gasoline SUV and not a smaller electric car if the eSUV isn’t available/affordable

Oh! I misinterpreted the top-level comment, and was thinking of a photo of a (possibly blank) real shirt that later had AI stuff added to the photo.

Hmm. A real shirt with AI Slop on it would indeed be a corner case, I guess it would count, but it’d only upvote if it goes Very hard.

Edit: Oops, misread that comment. Was thinking AI on the photo of a real shirt instead of AI on the real shirt.

I’d reluctantly allow it, but it would be less likely to get an upvote from me if I can tell.

There would still not be a real shirt having that content, so what would be the point?

I feel the same about human drawn or edited shirts - unless someone actually created it physically then it’s just an idea and not a shirt that goes hard.

Reminds me of something…

This is fixed now.

When that one breaks there’s a good chance you can replace just the broken part.

I’d say that the one that’s written is the ‘true’ timeline in the story the same way that the reality we experience is the only one that matters.

Try just refreshing. I’ve noticed that on Focus myself, but sometimes just refreshing fixes it.

What would happen is entirely your responsibility as the author of the scenario.

Some options may be more “realistic” than others, but since the existence of a working time machine is already beyond what seems to be feasible physics (requiring ridiculous amounts and density of negative energy for example, where not even any has been shown to be possible to make) the scenario becomes soft sci-fi, or in other words magic, and that means it’s up to the writer to make up the rules.

Here is a post I found with many of the options you can choose from.

Even knowing that everything happens every way in some other branch of the wave function (other universes) doesn’t really affect our own little section of it. There’s no communications or travel, so other universes if they exist have the same meaning to us as if they don’t. Except in time travel stories like this.

Besides, the same “irrelevance” of decisions and events comes free with even one single universe given that it’s deterministic - as physics seems to be. (Yeah there’s quantum randomness, but random doesn’t help either)

That said I still believe in free will and the importance of decisions. I just think it has to be defined so weakly that it still works in a deterministic universe. (So I have free will, but so do dice and pocket calculators.)

According to that link there is a huge diversity in how different systems work. What is your experience like? (For example how much separation is there? How easy is switching? Etc)

I once met another system, but they were friends of a friend, and I never got a chance to learn much about them.
