Did your various analyses on the plural of nemesis avoid an entire series of crises.

That’s the spirit.

You are thinking about Tobey Maguire and Steve Burns being really good friends while you are in the shower?

Thanks for the input von Neumann.

I must say that is an extraordinarily good plan.

Sounds cool.

Have you put all your money into polystyrene beans again Kevin.

I think the idea was that this is the simulation you outlined and so if you are not ‘Trump, Elon, Zuck etc’ then you aren’t playing, you are a bot.

Maybe that is what is happening and you are an NPC.

Things will creep in at night, I mean spiders not Nosferatu. Although maybe Nosferatu. You don’t often hear a monster work the word enmity into a sentence.

I think it is not fear of tomorrow but fear of extinction that causes this. I think it comes from a real, not simply intellectual realisation that life is finite and anything lost now will not come back. An instinctive urge to wring the most out of life as the void closes in. The daily version of not going ‘gentle into that good night’.

Consensus is the instinctive collective response of the mind to the world whereas truth is its regimented output. This is most obvious in the evolution of language, the truth in this instance is things like definitions, syntax and grammar but this is all after the event and looking back explanation. The real growth of language is from consensus. The definition of the word gay in original form by etymology was carefree and happy which is it’s truth but by consensus of usage it was altered to mean homosexuality, which is an entirely separate definition. The consensus idea very easily overran that of truth and became what is real.

I think that is called the human condition.

I don’t know what you are looking at, it is clearly pineapple and cheese with some homebake artsy grain black bread and a smear of dijon mustard.

A cloth and detergent.

Some clients allow the self auto-upvote to be set to off.

I believe if you logged directly into Lemmy without routing through Tor then their servers would log your IP address. With sufficient cause your ISP could be forced to provide your name and address but the reason would need to be very good, most obviously involving immediate endangerment of life. But times are changing and the reasons to make such inquiries might change too.

Billionaires do not have any special talents, perhaps beyond a coldness of spirit and lack of empathy so that their population is determined by the current holding capacity of the socio-economic and political world they find themselves in. What I mean to say by this is if you cause a particular billionaire to live an additional hundred years the result is not an increase in the net number of billionaires but rather their revised individual longevity simply limits other sociopaths from assuming billionaire status. Now you likely do not personally know any billionaires so whether they are constantly reshuffled by a natural lifespan or its the same set of long lived fuckers actually makes no odds to you. You do however very likely know people within a fifty meter radius of you, family and friends. Your life will be greatly enriched by the resurrection of such people and for the reasons I have stated not overly harmed by Nosferatuing a few mega-rich.

How could I not comment on the posts I comment on and also not comment on the others that I don’t comment on.
