  • I’d like to think I’m not so backed into a corner that violence is the answer, so I’ll do what I do every day of the week: keep my head down and wait.

    If push comes to shove, and the lives of myself and my people are genuinely threatened, I won’t retaliate in kind. I come from a long line of people that knew the benefits of blending in. I may not have the moxy to be a firebrand or to rally others to a cause, I may not have the heart to pull a trigger, but I have the means and skill to make triggers and the good sense to stay away from they places they get used.

    It may not be the heroic sense of most Americans, but I was born into an America that sold us an action hero instead of providing us safety and I’ve never been one to buy rhetoric. I will not give my life for a cause, I will live to see it succeed.


  • But part two states you can create carbon copies of anything you scan or create new things from your imagination. Part one states that touching things all the details of it within the simulation are encoded into your brain.

    It serves to reason if you sampled a dozen different woods, you could manifest a wholly unique wood using your knowledge of how the other woods work within the system.

    You don’t even need to understand how they work in our reality, just how the simulation handles them. So if you can figure how the simulation codes the processor on your phone, you could then generate the highest possible specs in a processor and manifest it into your phone. The unwritten rule here has that you can instantly learn everything, the rest of the simulation is yours to bend.




  • I apologize now for the hostility I’m about to through your way, but this is probably the post the upsets new the most on this thread. You have 4 paragraphs and 864 words, explaining a fantastically well thought out premise and long term plan that is so absolutely achievable that you could literally do this right now with a like $100k extra.

    With a mix of imagination and diligent scanning you could make yourself your own distinct content with no long term tectonic impact on the planet and a technocratic government that runs everything with a goal of perfect balance between human comfort and long term global stability. You could retire there with your family within the first year to watch your children grow up as the first generation of a true utopia.

    You could populate the universe with so many tardigrades that the simulation you exist in crashes, or place a bowl of soup on the head of every cat on the planet, or make a new constellation to name after your wife, but instead the real life version of God mode isn’t actually part of your 10 year plan. It’s just a well managed lottery win. It’s this what those wackos are talking about when they preach about internalizing the system? Because if so they’re a lot less nuts than I originally thought.

    Get off lemmy, do some research into properties in Alaska and gold speculation. This is so genuinely possible of a life goal that I genuinely believe you deserve to achieve it.





  • It’s my biggest gripe against the left. Imagine betting your life on a game of football where one side is playing no contact tag rules and the other is playing full lethality death ball rules. We’ll sit here and talk about how they’re not playing fair, but pride parades won’t march with guns. We’ll cry about how horrid it is that they force their religion into our schools but we won’t use the same system to fight it.

    The left will die for their beliefs, but the right will kill for them. Only one of those methods leaves survivors.







  • My personal experience has actually been quite whew opposite of everyone here apparently. Of the 3 vegans I’ve spent time with, not one of them has ever brought it up to preach or to sound smug. It only ever comes up because I ask for a recipe they served and they say something along the lines of “now, this is a vegan recipe, but you should be able to substitute ‘x’ with ‘y’ if you wanna avoid that.” It’s never preachy, it’s always in the “don’t let this being vegan ruin it for you” kind of way.

    My low stakes conspiracy is that vegan hate on the internet is like people that don’t like the word moist. They either watched friends and decided to adopt that as a personality trait, or they look up to someone that did just that. They hate veganism because they watched a comedian quip about it and agreed or they saw someone that watched a comedian and agreed. It’s all too consistent to not be feeding from the same bowl.
