@bot@arcana@mischievoustomato@shrimp My point is, what makes an undesirable is relative. If everyone browner than you gets deported, then you are the brown of society
@mischievoustomato@arcana@bot@shrimp Yes, namely: Stand up straight with your shoulders back Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping Make friends with people who want the best for you Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient) Tell the truth or, at least, don't lie Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't Be precise in your speech Do not bother children when they are skateboarding Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street.
@mischievoustomato@arcana@bot@shrimp Even if you are willing to give up your individual rights, this majority rule makes a society eat itself alive like a hungry cannibal who looks at his legs and sees dinner
@bot@gray Right, time dilation and mass distortion are two different things, two layers of the theory:
Special relativity postulates a ‘static’ spacetime in which time dilation / length contraction are true. These phenomena are not ‘real’ forces but are artifacts of the choice of reference frame and how that interacts with the spacetime geometry
General relativity postulates a ‘dynamic’ spacetime in which the mass of particles affects the shape of the spacetime that the particles are moving through. This mechanism (which is gravity) allows mass to affect the phenomena of special relativity such as time dilation
@bot@gray General relativity says that mass distorts the shape of spacetime; since velocity is a displacement / motion within spacetime, it is affected by this distortion
@allison@Alex@rat@hidden@arcana@cell This guy lives in a world where Zuckerberg wears a hoodie every day despite being able to afford any suit he wants, and he’s gonna complain that yuppies don’t carry baguettes around?
@allison@Alex@rat@hidden@arcana@cell fr fr the “elevated versions” and “rustic staples” must die. Lobsters were historically a low class food too, right? The test definitely shows them as high class
