Does there have to be an origin? The universe (at all levels) could be eternal.

My crackpot theory is that there’s a universe inside each black hole and we’re currently inside a black hole. All of the matter that a black hole ingests feeds into a big bang on a separate timeline.
The big bang was a singularity where our understanding of time and space breaks down. Well a black hole is the same thing.
Liquid IV. I’ll bring a few packets if I know I’m going to be sweating. It’s also great for a hangover.
I need to leave this thread. Interstellar is my favorite movie of all time.
Great. I went to Combo Breaker over the weekend and managed to convince some of the out-of-town talent to come to the monday-night local tournament I help run. It was a great success adding to a string of great monday-night tournaments. We’re steadily making this tourney THE weekly local for my city. Feels good.
This is one of the most on-the-nose takes I’ve seen in a while. The root cause of a lot of issues in America is a gradual reduction of opportunities for young people while old people are increasingly secure. He throws lef-right narratives away and gets straight to the point. I don’t agree with everything he says, but I broadly agree with him.
I think one of the first commercially viable cultured meat products will be celebrity burgers. People aren’t going to spend a bunch of extra money on regular beef but they might spend $40 on Kim Kardashian’s ass meat.
I shared that experience. I also was actively excluded from all sorts of things (including essential services) because I was a foreigner. Whenever a group of expats got together, at some point in the night, the conversation would be about how everyone got discriminated against recently.
Japan simply is xenophobic. I lived there for 2 years. That’s just a fact.
In the recent Ferrari movie, there’s a scene with one of the legendary racing drivers. He’s in the lead at the big race and he just needs to bring it home for the win. He’s got a big smile, the shots are serene, the music is swelling. Then suddenly, he wrecks super violently and crashes into a crowd of people. I absolutely lost it. I was the only one.
He saw that pic of the Pope with drip and it spooked him. This is a joke but that pic actually spooked me. It was the first AI pic I saw that I thought was a real photo.
You’d be surprised. I used to work in a rural factory. All the big burly red-neck older men were on tiktok during their smoke breaks.
They claimed that the government was focusing on this one issue when really it was a small part of a much larger legislation. Whether it’s good or bad is a separate judgement.
This was part of an overall package including aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.
Personally, I just find it really disappointing. This Tik Tok issue could have been an opportunity to improve privacy and reduce data collection across the board. Instead, it’s a surgical strike in order to not disrupt American tech companies doing the same thing.
What will happen is that Bytedance will sell the US Tik Tok to an American VC firm and it will continue data hoarding as before. This time, the US government will be getting the data instead of the CCP. I’d rather nobody got it.
This happens to me if I have my VPN on from my phone app.
In college, we used to go to the top of parking garages to smoke weed at night. This kinda looks like a parking garage.
Didn’t New Zealand try this and eventually walk it back?
If you’re trying to play with your son, Smash Ultimate is good. It also has a good amount of single-player content.
Has this changed? It used to be that sexting was explicitly just referring to sending nudes and the surrounding horny conversation. If you’re right, the definition has broadened to include flirting or locker room humor.
What should really happen is Dr Disrespect should release the DMs (after redacting any details of the minor) so we can stop speculating about how bad this is.
