That’s just God telling you to go to the bad gateway.

I can only hope it was with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.

This is apparently a thing he does, and this will be a “walk in the park,” so to speak:

In 2019, he became the first and only person to make the 80-mile round-trip hike to Mount Everest Base Camp without shoes. Two years later, he set the 2021 Guinness World Record for the longest barefoot journey after hiking 1,875 miles on the Australian coast. Now he plans to break that record by walking 3,000 miles from Los Angeles to New York City, entirely barefoot.

I am definitely curious as to how this impacts his Georgia plea agreement.

Edit: He is in violation of his Georgia plea agreement.

This is especially true if a simulated universe is indistinguishable from base reality - so perfect in all its aspects that it is identical.

You can also get into the fact that we do not and can not objectively experience reality, simulated or not. Our experience and perception is based on the senses we have, which are inaccurate, and the brain that interprets the inputs, which makes shit up and is wrong all the time. Yes, we can use tools and measurements to enhance our perception and make it more accurate as far as understanding is concerned, but we actually each live in a universe manufactured by our own mind.

I don’t think it will die, it will probably just fade into irrelevancy.

I don’t find the distinction particularly useful. We seek to understand more accurately how our universe works, with disregard to whether it is direct reality or simulated reality. The increased accuracy that we discover may result in our knowing whether we are in a simulation, or it may not.

Either way, something is base reality, whether it is our universe as we observe and experience it, or some number of simulated levels “below” it. Our own state as simulated or real doesn’t change that. There is isness.

Bring a second bike along with you, and lock it with a $10 combination lock chain.

Huh, kbin.social ate it then.

Edit: I’m seeing it there as “deleted by creator.”

I mean, it was a Black Lives Mystery march.

The protests, one of several in recent years meant to “protect” the National Electoral Institute (INE), come after Lopez Obrador sent a sweeping package of constitutional reforms to Congress, which would include an overhaul of the INE.

Yeah, they really should.

Edit: This was initially a response to someone else’s comment calling my “medial [sic] literacy” into question. That comment appears to have been deleted, and I’m not sure why this response became a top-level comment, but I’m leaving it.

Why the scare quotes? Seems like they’re turning out to actually protect the INE and democracy.

Law enforcement uniforms in a secular nation should not bear religious symbols.

I have to wonder if you said the same things about Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP.

Yes, I am.

“In Ryanggang Province, if you only sleep at a private inn, the cost of lodging is 4,000 won (47 cents),” she said. “If you include a bottle of alcohol and a meal, the cost is 15,000 won ($1.78).”

That’s it, I’m retiring to North Korea.

How does employing someone who’s been convicted of battery not create an unsafe work environment for everyone?

I’ve also heard that if you read something, look away, look back and read it again, and it’s different, then you’re dreaming. You can practice this experiment when you’re awake; this will condition your brain to do that reflexively, and eventually you’ll do it in a dream.

One of the possible outcomes of this kind of dream-testing is lucid dreaming. When you’re dreaming, knowing you’re dreaming inside the dream can give you some semi-conscious control of the entire dream universe. Wanna fly? BAM you can fly. Enemies need smiting? SMITE. Done.

Now I’m wondering if the “real me” that, you know is actually real … doesn’t just entirely believe that I’m really real, but is really just a dream of the next level up. Same thing goes for the other direction, with innumerable layers to the onion. How could I possibly know?
