I have tried to out-crazy them, but crazy has gone beyond my ability in the last few years.

Which turns into coffee grounds when it hits the bed?

Why would a Borg need such perfect breasts? Not that I’m complaining…

I don’t want to change anyone’s mind anymore. I’m so tired of trying. I just want them to STFU and believe their wacko shit in private like the good old days.

I don’t think you need the “what if” parts

I guess I like prehistoric the best from an artistic perspective, but none of them effectively convey the size and power of the balrog.

These would sell like hotcakes.

I’ve read that people think that is caused by the risers in his shoes to make him look taller. He’s essentially wearing high heels. Someone shared a diagram on Reddit a few years ago that showed how high heels change your posture, and it made a lot of sense. Unfortunately I couldn’t find it right now to share with you. It could also just be because of his big-ass belly, like you said.

Fatter. That’s why his suits look like they don’t fit him. You can hide a lot with a baggy suit.

I love that it gave him tiny feet and hands, but let’s be honest, he would collapse from exhaustion before he got that far from the prison.

Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor. Yeah!

Watch where you’re standing!

Hodgins says he was offered a C$2,000 flight voucher by the airline

Sorry we utterly humiliated you and ruined your anniversary trip. Here’s some coupons.

Idk about where you live, but here you take it down to the dump and pay $35 to dispose of it if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it you sneak behind a box store at night and dump it in their dumpster.

But as a whole it looks like a lot of guns, and I guess that’s all AI cares about.

AI gets confused by them and can’t figure out how many belong to each person. They’re always in different positions in every frame, so the AI doesn’t understand how they actually exist.

It’s disingenuous to say that Amazon produces nothing. They produce the environment that allows everyone to sell their products on the largest marketplace that has ever existed. They produce the servers, the hosting, the DNS, the security, the credit card processing, the shipping setup, and so much more. Plus they do produce actual products too. There’s a lot of criticism that could be levied against Amazon, but not producing anything valuable isn’t one of those criticisms.

Right. Writing it as they did makes it seem that the food companies are doing this out of necessity, like they’re barely getting by. They’re doing this because they’re evil, greedy, fucks.

Yup! That’s the most common proposition I’ve read for simulation theory. Good chat indeed.

That’s my point - we’re just another creature. On a scale of bird to god, we might as well be a bird.

A lot of the simulation theory proponents propose that we’re the creators of the simulation. That an advanced human society spins up simulations to test theories on whatever… evolution, progress, history, you name it. In that case we’re actually nothing. We’re lines of code. But we’re lines of code created by our future society. Or present society really, but that reality is outside our knowledge.

I just finished a sci-fi fiction series called The World Walker and it gets pretty deep into simulation theory. It was a very interesting and thought provoking read. You have to wade through 2 whole books before they get to that part though, so don’t expect to pick it up and jump right in. It’s definitely worth a read IMO though, if you’re interested.

Anyways, the point is that if we’re truly in a simulation, then we’re nothing. We don’t exist. You could propose that all consciousness is existence, AI or otherwise, but we don’t exist in the physical realm. If it is humanity, or some unknown culture that created the simulation is irrelevant as far as we’re concerned.

If we’re in a simulation then we’re meaningful to whoever is running it, assuming we’re being observed. I would assume all life is meaningful to them as well though. I guess it depends on their objectives. If we’re not in a simulation then we’re meaningful to ourselves, being the only advanced society we’re aware of. Either way, humanity means something, it’s just a shame that none of us can agree on what that is.

Edit: I just read a theory last week that our entire universe may exist inside of a black hole. If that’s true then we’ve indirectly observed multiple universes already. It makes me think of the closing scene to Men In Black where the aliens are playing marbles with our entire universe. That’s an interesting theory too.
