Both meters and seconds are units of Earth specific measures of space and time. Pretty sure at a cosmic scale god would give fuckall about how we measure and name our shit

I kind of wonder if the shooting was planned when looking at the facts

• shooter background was an Afghan CIA operative
• shooter was vetted and given asylum by Trump administration in April 2025
• months ago Trump deployed National Guard to DC without justification citing "crime", despite crime rates dropping
• a week ago, a judge ruled the National Guards deployment in DC was unlawful and he lacked authority or cause for it
• two days ago, operative shoots 2 guardsmen not far from white house and immediately surrenders
• Trump and Hegseth immediately respond saying not only are the national guards presence there legitimate and justified, but they are activating 500 more to head to DC

Curious.

It kind of feels like him getting shot at by a registered republican was his campaign 'jumping the shark'. I don't condone it by any means but there's a level of irony to how the last few months have played out

I think it already is blowing up in their face, and agree fully with your sentiment. While atheists dont depend on religion to define their morals, they get the opportunity to self-define their morals. A narcissistic egotisticial born-with-a-silver-spoon person like Trump is a wolf in sheep's clothing parading as one of them. He decays or corrupts everything he touches, and the GOP and evangelical Christians have been rubbing all up on him for 7 years. Both groups are in crisis these days.

The GOP has no true platform beyond revenge politics, and the churches are bleeding congregation members... people leaving either because they aren't on board the crazy train of their church peers or leave because they've allowed their beliefs and morals to twist out of whack in conflict of scripture.

Thats probably why Trump picked him.

Social media used to be about socializing and communicating. These days its all drivel that has bren productized into a vehicle where streaming addictive brain rot keeps the advertisements flowing and lowers self esteem.

Gen Z may have adopted the internet but it was born of us- AIM, yahoo messenger, ICQ, IRC servers, news groups... all on a dial-up modem. The good old days where there wasnt enough bandwidth for all the ads of today, and the most intrusive ads were a 468x60 pixel banner at the top or bottom of the netscape page

I would absolutely love to see an AI deepfake press conference where Leavitt is transformed into the Mouth of Sauron and explaining to the press the great leaders plans for arresting and torturing other races and defending the necessity for conquering ukraine or Europe or whatever

Gotta say, ive done magical things in Javascript. NodeJS in particular can do damn near anything you set your mind to, and it doesnt give a damn if you use tab or 4 spaces.

They've been conditioned for 8 years that any negative thing they read or hear about their leader is "fake news", and likely their own pride of not wanting to consider the possibility they could be mistaken has made them easy targets for the misinformation machine at Fox News to avoid telling them objective facts to instead pander to their emotions and tell them what opinion they should have. Mass manipulation by biased media.

Nothing about that cruel suggestion makes any sense. Why did it need to a baby, why can't it be trying to shoot the idiot making this insane suggestion who volunteers to wear a necklace and be shot.

Counter-offer: same scenario to the ignorant Christian who is shit-posting, but the necklace is of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. Let's see if he would convert. Moron.

Pure capitalism has an implied responsibility after one becomes overwhelmingly successful, they would be inclined to reinvest the excess into society. Donations to schools, social programs, not-for-profits, and so on. And higher wages for the workers who made you immensely successful, better benefits, higher quality of life overall to incentivize people wanting to work for you, and if all successful companies did this, trickle-down economics would be real.

In unregulated corrupted capitalism, however, that excess instead is used to lobby government to make even more successful, shaping laws to shield companies from labor rights, destroy unions, surpress minimum wage, dodge taxes, and deflect hidden production costs like environmental pollution or outsourced slave labor. They use their economic leverage to remove legal responsibilities they have participating in society, while at the same time leaning on society's resources like roads, police, emergency services, and infrastructure more than any individual ever could. Imagine how successful Bezos would be if taxpayers didn't provide roads for his deliveries.

It's all a big game of monopoly to them and at the end of the game, one guy has all the money and everyone else is bankrupt, in poverty, jail, or just trying to collect $200 a week to not starve. And then new generations are born into the game wherever their parents were at on the board, with no game reset. People wonder why the birth rate is dropping.

At the end of the game though our pieces all go into the same box.

I love this reflection. It kind of shines a spotlight on the fallibility of mainstream religions under rational thought. Could there be something after death? Sure. But the stories people are peddled arent based on any truth, it's just telling people what they want to hear to get them to join the club.

There's a people heaven, and a dog heaven, and a monkey heaven, a bird heaven, etc. Like, what? There's an estimated 8.7 million species on earth, you think there's a heaven for each of them? When evolution spins off something new or species cross breed, like a liger from a lion and tiger, does a new heaven just pop into existence?

Mainstream depictions of heaven are bunk.

This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.

I would be concerned or have sympathy, but using his own words he's a lame duck to the betterment of humanity

Maybe one of the times he failed outright and another time he only got to 2nd base

What is the most beneficial knowledge which can be enlightened upon me which i can both understand and relay and/or implemenet which will have the greatest positive impact on humanity while also being a medium for my own success and instrumental in self-fulfillment spiritually, economically, and emotionslly?

Small correction- AC power doesn't "travel in waves". It just oscillates up and down with respect to its reference, and same with its current with respect to its impedance. Just looks like a wave if you look at its position over time.

With a completed circuit with low impedance, it would trip your breaker. With completed circuit with large enough impedance to not trip breaker, it might burn your apartment down in a number of ways. Could also kill neighbor if they are somehow making a return path, as current disrupts your nervous system where once they get caught in the shock they lose control of their muscles and are held in the current unable to let go, electrocuting them until death. If insulation is high enough to effectively be an open circuit, your neighbor on the pole wouldn't know it was electrified in the same way a bird sitting up on a power line doesn't have a clue its anything but a normal wire in the air. Largely depends on how the pole is installed and if its touching any metal or electrical wires where it is mounted on top, bottom, or both. Also if neighbor is ground level or if another apartment beneath them. A lot of variables create.a lot of possible outcomes.

Would not recommend, lot of risks with little to no chance of any reward

Why does that moron use random capital letters and average 3-5 commas per sentence? He writes like a 10 year old.
