And even then he could do that with any food place that doesn’t display his name.

This has been happening since the 80s…

Now it’s completely unavoidable, unless it’s someone close to you that manages to do it to the pile at the last second.

Like, I’m not saying trump is rational, I’m explaining his irrational logic for why he got used to it.

Anywhere in the country and most of the planet, someone can go buy $200 worth of McDonald’s and delivery it in under an hour. It’s what he’s used to

It’s because he’s paranoid about being poisoned…

Long before he was president he’d send people “undercover” to buy large amounts of fast food, then he’d eat a random portion. I suspect he even has others eat from the total first. That’s why he always serves to cold to sports teams and the like. He’s used to the crazy delays it comes with, he’s likely never had it fresh.

It’s also why he’s so fat. If everytime you ate it was from a pile of cold fast food and even after full there’s a pile left, anyone would over eat and become as obese as trump. That would take a godawful amount of willpower to resist, but constantly caving to cravings would fundamentally rewire your brain.

The “panda effect”!

Does anyone else remember when pandas were white with black spots?! We jumped realities!

/s

I’d say uniqueness more.

If one species of 47 different kind of European Swallows go extinct, it’s just not a big deal because the niche will be refilled in a few generations and in a decade they’d be pretty much the same as the OG.

If something like a platypus was threatened with extinction, a lot more people would care, because what the actual fuck is a platypus?!

That weird fuck survived when everything tangentially related to it except one animal half a world away that looks nothing like it died off long ago.

That shit we need to protect. And I’d go farther and say we should encourage diversification of those species so an entire branch of our planets genetic history is pruned.

Like those tiny pools of water that have been separated from all other life for millenia, it’s not enough to protect those organisms and their tiny natural habitats. We should be encouraging their growth and evolution, because absolutely nothing else would increase our planets genetic diversity as much as those weird living fossils.

it seems likely some of them would be space travelors by now.

You just said:

There are billions of areas in the universe that are millions of years older than us

And:

amount we’ve advanced in the last 125 years

Logically, you understand that with two vastly different times scales over that much distance…

The chances of overlap is infinitly small?

Maybe they passed by before our solar system even formed. Maybe after our sun burns out they stroll by.

But why would they choose to spend their time wandering around in a spaceship anyways?

Even if they had instant travel making distance and time absolutely meaningless. If life is so plentiful and there’s so many that are that advanced, exponentially more at our level, and innumerable planets supporting more basic forms of life…

Why would they care about us?

We’re one in trillions to them.

Quick edit:

Back to the point, in that scenario we’d never be “no contact” because they wouldn’t care.

Any one planet wouldnt even be a rounding error.

We wouldn’t be one of the few they want to study. We’d be one of a huge number

What?

You’re literally ruling out the most likely scenario:

Life is spread out all over, but even if they knew we were here, they’d never get to us.

Like, there could be a planet on the exact same level as us, thinking the same thing about aliens. But if they’re 1,000 light years away, all the know about Earth is it has water. Something they might not even consider relative in the search for life if they don’t need water.

And even if they wanted to send us a signal and could figure out where to send it, best case scenario we get it in a thousand years and they have to wait at least two for a response they’d have no idea if we’d be capable of sending back.

Even if every planet tried to contact the first 10 planets with life they find, eventually the novelty would wear off and they wouldn’t keep wasting all the resources just to add another tally 2k years from now to the list of planets with life.

Everyone gets hung up on aliens wanting to interact with us, because we want aliens.

If an alien civilization is advanced to know about us, they don’t give a fuck about us. And they wouldn’t, except if they’re planning on such long timelines that their procedure for finding life is to just steer a couple giant asteroids at us.

A civilization capable of noticing us, just wouldn’t have anything to gain from interacting with us.

Deja Vu is a “save error” where we basically skip RAM and throw something straight to the hard drive. So we “remember” as we experience it, but can never get ahead of the present moment to “remember” the future.

Because it’s still just the present. We’re just experiencing a very short term glitch which is relatively normal, or accidentally inhaled a bunch ether or something similar and shits gonna be weird for 2-3 minutes straight before it wears off and the brain recovers.

Like, there’s not just short/long term memory. There’s a bunch of different types, but the “now” experience is it’s own type of memory and last fractions of a second. Break that even momentarily and you experience deja vu because everything just goes straight to the next level of memory. Which is working memory and cover seconds to minutes.

This is actually a serious threat, because AI is so fucking stupid…

It wouldn’t give the most effective plans, it probably won’t even give plans that will “work”…

But it’s gonna recommend shit no one thought of with 100% confidence and convince already brainwashed idiots that crazy shit will work.

Not just ISIS, all our own homegrown brain rot idiots on Twitter using grok too. Stuff that requires no organization or coordination, just random solo idiots.

It’s likely already happening. The AI companies just aren’t admitting it.

Like the guy that blew a cyber truck full of fireworks up in Vegas in front a trump casino, grok would 100% say that’s a world changing plan and would make him an hero.

Because there’s also records of him getting wasted at the palace all day…

You can check out the Wikipedia, I didn’t link it a couple days ago and going off memory

Yeah, like finding out you could didn’t fuck anybody up…

I only care about the 4tb of personal data and I push that to a cloud backup

I have doubles of the data. Some of 'em. That way I know I have a pristine one in backup. Then I can use it, it gets corrupted, I don’t care.

Actually, I have triples of the W2s. I have triples, right? If I don’t, the other stuff’s not true.

See, the W2s the one I have triples of. Oh, no, actually, I also have triples of the kids photos, too. But just those two. And your dad and I are the same age, and I’m rich and I have triples of the W2s and the kids photos.

Triples makes it safe.

Triples is best.

It doesn’t sound simpler to you that people would naturally call what’s west of them “western” and what’s east of them “eastern”?

Like, if you’d pick any random place they’d do it the same way

If you’re mad other places adopted the European “point of view” for east/west, then logically your problem isn’t with Europeans. It’s the other places that just use the European definitions.

You’re mad at the only group who has a logical reason to use it, instead of all the places using it for no reason except to try and fit in with Europe.

Like, if Japan said China was the West and America was the East…

Nobody would give a shit.

Nanni wasn’t the only one, just the most famous.

Like, we found Ea Nasir’s house, and it was filled with evidence that at one time he was trustworthy, and then just went to shit.

Like, we know ~5 other customers of his by name because they also left written records about him not delivering or cheating in other ways.

It wasn’t a one off thing.

Yes, racists and other bigots almost always put themselves in the best possible light

No you can’t…

Youre just being bigoted and judging people by appearance.

What’s weird is how supportive people are being of it.

A lot of the electrical grid is actually cooperativly owned

Sure, if you care about miles of wire and not customers, it sounds huge…

But anyone who hears that should be able to quickly figure out why it’s not relevant

So leave it with the oligarchs who are actively brining trump to make it worse?

What the fuck kind of learned helplessness is this?

Yeah they beat and starve us, but if we stop them from doing it someone might show up and if we let them they’d beat and starve us to!!!

Like, fucking newsflash man:

This is a continual fight, and boomers acting like it wasn’t is why shit is like it is today. No matter what happens this fight never stops

It’s a month old account.

But the biggest redflag is she’s never worked for a gaming company before, she went from AI exec to Xbox CEO…

She literally has no idea how any of it works

It doesn’t matter who has it, it’s the one ring.

It’s sheer existence is too dangerous to be allowed. But everyone focuses on what they could do with the power and think they’ll be able to keep it.

That’s why there’s such pushback against opposition to datacenters, it’s not just the money from the stocks, everyone pictures themselves as the only ones who gets to abuse the tech once it’s built.
