@sickburnbro I think women are exceptionally good at thinking in first person. They're overly empathetic for that reason.

@VikingWays @Griffith @transgrammaractivist @sickburnbro Did anyone fall in? I looked like the bridge was clear at the moment.

@white_male @Evil_Bender @libsoftiktok @Saber @Eiswald @Marielle_Redclaw @SAKURARadiochan I think it's post scarcity for individuals. Food and housing would be cheap, I imagine, especially if you went to live on a colony. It seems like the only things that have value is anything with any sort of novelty, and I'm not sure what people would trade to obtain it, or how they would go about to obtain it, since it's suppose to be some sort of Randian society where people work for fun or something.

@Evil_Bender @libsoftiktok @Saber @Eiswald @Marielle_Redclaw @SAKURARadiochan @white_male It seemed like credits went away. It's not socialist because labor is not required and resources are not divided. It's a post scarcity society.

@white_male @Evil_Bender @libsoftiktok @Saber @Eiswald @Marielle_Redclaw @SAKURARadiochan I don't think StarTrek's version of multi-culturalism was entirely wrong.

I look at it similar to how Asians were treated in the US during the early 1900's. Asians in California were treated quite bad, while they weren't in Texas. The reason for the discrepancy is that the Chinese in California were competing for resources among Californians, while the Japanese in Texas were there to farm rice, something no Texans were doing at the time. The Japanese were not stepping on Texan toes, and so were largely welcomed in Texas.

Racism is a product of competition. When two groups are competing for the same resources, they'll fight. When they aren't, they likely get along.

@HyperboreanWave It seems like such a non-issue to me. Like, what percentage of loli anime out there in comparison to all other anime? I don't think it's very common, it's an extremely niche thing, and the most likely reason anyone knows about it is mostly because of other people crying about it.

What I think they're really complaining about is how openly sexual anime is. Japan, till recently, was a lot more cool with nudity (both sexual and non-sexual), and most of these shows are targeted towards the young adult audience. It's would be like saying books like Twilight are lolicon, or that an adult is a pedo for reading it. In that sense, it feels like well poisoning to me.

@Griffith @Vril_Oreilly @BowsacNoodle @Paultron @Spingebill I think the question is "why hasn't Russia sent out a call to Americans to immigrate to Russia". They could provide for basic stuff to help offset the cost of moving out into the Russian Frontier. Japan, for example, has done something like this, albeit for Japanese citizens. Basically, they have a lot of farmland that's being depopulated or are abandoned. If you agree to move into these rural areas and work in agriculture, the Japanese government would help cover the cost, including making the house and land super cheap (but I can't remember the specific details for the arrangement).

@BowsacNoodle @wgiwf @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios @teknomunk People did that before him I think, Edward Barnard was probably the first to consistently do it in the early 1880s. What he did was use the largest telescope at the time (The Hale telescope) to study something called 'cepheid variable stars'. Keeping it simple, types of stars have a easily predictable brightness, so he could make an estimate of the distance to them. The measurement showed that all of these nebula were significantly further away than pretty much anything else we knew of, suggesting they were outside the Milky Way.

The images below are of Barnard, vs the one Hubble used.

@wgiwf @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios @teknomunk @BowsacNoodle Yep. The oldest photograph of Andromeda classifies it as a nebula.

Also, here's a picture I took of it a few weeks ago.

@BowsacNoodle @branman65 @Saber @Gundog @SuperSnekFriend @merchantHelios It also make sense mechanistically. Only certain morphs will allow for intelligence. High dexterity to manipulate tools, a large brain, sharp vision. Maybe they won't all look human exactly, but I think all the basic shapes would be needed there, and it would probably end up looking humanish.

@merchantHelios I didn't know that, neat!

Related, the evidence for the big bang is that most everything on the galactic scale seems to be moving away from us. However, scientists tend to apply a "universalist" approach to physics (basically, anything true for us must also be true everywhere else). So instead of assuming that everything is moving away radially from Earth, they say the scale of space is what's expanding, so that everything seems to be moving away from everything else.

There is somewhat of a good reason to assume this, the main proof being "Hubble's Law", which demonstrates that we can predict how far away something is by how fast it's moving. This would match the scaling effect of space stretching equally everywhere. This is best demonstrated, I think, by laying the same image on top of itself, and increasing the scale of one. As you move it around, you can see how everything seems to move away from the point where both images align.

Anyway, this explanation isn't perfect. One of the biggest flaws is Dark energy. Basically, Dark energy appears to be something that is changing Hubble's Law, meaning that you have to add an additional fudge factor to it to account for an increase of speed over distance. No one knows why.

Part of me wonders, if the Universe were to have "exploded" from a central point like Earth, would it not make sense for the material on the outer edge to be moving faster, and to do so non linearly?

@grey >Media perception impacts behaviors

But also

>We have to depict the largest demographic in this country as the only ones who commit crimes.

I'd respect them more if they decided to only use drawn images of androgynous criminals with green skin.
