  • Well now see my cousin Skeeter got himself a 8k TV with that settlement money he got from when he got run over by that bmw downtown tryin to get his kids back ya know? At the courthouse? Anyway he was sposed to use that money to pay fer his doctors and whatnot but he got himself that TV and the dang thing wouldn’t fit through the door! Got her in to the trailer but couldn’t go no where so he put that sucker up right outside has movie nights the whole park can come n see. Course ol Skeet likes them naughty flicks you know with the blood and gore and titties n stuff, talkin bout like Dusk Till Dawn, talkin bout some Striptease, uh you know what’s the other one the one where the girl takes off her bathing suit Fast Times that’s the one. Anyway the boys in the neighborhood LOVE ol skeets movie nights but I think some o them parents are gonna set his trailer on fire for too long here now.










  • Space is everywhere, and it’s stretching. It isn’t expanding per say, it’s that everything that is everywhere is getting further apart.

    You’re thinking of space stretching like an inflated balloon, and that’s a decent analogy but it’s far more simplistic than reality. If there is some cosmic boundary it would divide everything that is and exists, and the absence of any existence. It’s a boundary which light itself could not escape, and all future points of time exist only within that boundary. All of space time would fold back in on itself.

    Imagine standing at that boundary and firing an arrow, a thought experiment first described by Lucretius in Pompeii 2000 years ago. He imagined that if he fired an arrow from the edge, then clearly the universe kept going, and if it hit something, then clearly something must exist on the other side.

    But the arrow can only fall back in towards the universe at some such theoretical boundary. Because all points in time exist within that boundary.

    Which is very similar to a black hole. Which is why some cosmologists have suggested that maybe we live inside one.



  • A simple toggle, secured with a password would do it. Child’s device Y/N. If no, proceed. Your browser or whatever app you’re using would only need to see that one setting, and it’s not much different than your browser looking at any number of settings on your device.

    Shit with TWO toggles, the other being “is this child under the age of 13?” You could even force sites like YouTube actually to comply with federal law about targeting minors with advertising.

    But. These laws aren’t actually about protecting children, they’re about establishing a real identity for every person online.





  • There’s gotta be a mod for that, right?

    Up until whatever came after Black Flag I was a die hard AC fan. Midnight releases and everything. And I’ll admit, the modern day sections are bad and jarring and completely unnecessary. At some point you’re a game developer wandering around an office and it’s obvious they had no idea what to do with those sections, because at that point the modern day story had been told. There was a brief cameo from some of the people you would remember from earlier games but it never got to the level of intrigue from 1-3.

    Though an assassin’s creed game set in like modern day Manhattan could be fun. Watchdogs got kinda close to that before going completely off the rails.
