Moving is just putting more space between you and something. If it walks like a horse, talks like a horse, bites like a horse… you get the idea. It’s not clear to me why the increase of inbetween space in cosmic inflation “gets a pass” whereas the increase of inbetween of space from movement doesn’t

Understanding this is the easy part imo

Yeah, but wouldn’t this lead to the cars perceiving each other as moving faster than light?

I never bother to disable AI in duckduckgo so I just use a search engine that doesn’t have it out of the box

They’re not explicitly forbidden from taking care of minor offenses iirc, it’s just not their area of expertise

Yeah, in Italy there’s a lot of armed officials in public places and big stations (even train stations!). Usually they’re only there to look intimidating. The ones who will actually bother people (usually immigrants) are regular policemen, who, paradoxically, are less likely to carry firearms

The only guns I see in my life are in possession of trained professionals. And even then it’s a lot if I see one per three months.

Here in my country (in Europe), you can just go to any important train station or public place and there’ll be a bunch of soldiers doing fuck all with guns in their belts. They’re just meant to stand there and look intimidating lmao. I’ve never even seen them bother immigrants or anything (that’s the police’s job)

I swear, whenever someone talks about how “humanity” is killing the planet, or “humanity” is evil or something like that, I get so irrationally mad. It’s not humanity, it’s like less than 1% of people that are bringing this planet down

Remember, the ‘carbon footprint’ metric was invented by British Petroleum’s PR team.

I did like it very much actually, but I think the second half was dragged out hinting at information that was already obvious. I did watch other Kubrick moves but I was a little kid and I don’t remember much

I thought we hated all billionaires

Steve Wozniak’s net worth is like 10 million. That’s far from a billionaire

Yes, I know. It does display ads by default. On the other hand I don’t see how else they should make money if they want to stay gratis

Yeah, it’s very obvious from the start that he’s a mediocre person. Saying he becomes a badass is false advertising

Eyes Wide Shut, Billy Bat, and in general every thriller story that ditches the text in favor of the subtext

Grave of the Fireflies. You don’t see any fighting and most people the protagonists meet are good, AND YET it’s so depressing. Seeing how bad the horrors of war are, even in the best case scenario, was eye-opening for me.

That’s because Monopoly (well, the game Monoopoly ripped off from) was designed to be bad (like Undertale’s genocide route). It wanted to show how shitty the stock market is

Startpage is one example. Almost every non-professional piece of software has good alternatives

This isn’t trans genocide, but progressively making it impossible for trans people to exist hints at intolerance for their general existence

Get a straw hat! They are nice, fresh ‘n’ fashionable

Gosh, I would love boxers with a lil bow on the front
