Earthquake, then. :p

But also still yeah kinda, I assume.

The same could be said for lemmy lately. Every other post is horny.

We are the universe’s attempt to study itself. Introspection, writ large :)

Thats fine, if you have the power to know where every atom in the universe is at a given time, as well as its trajectory and momentum, it would still be knowable. You’d need to have some pretty damned advanced knowledge for that anyway, so from a practical standpoint it doesn’t matter that we couldn’t reconcile it with our present models. They could be completely wrong, for all we know.

Depends on the type of fish and how beefy the filtration is. Cichlid tanks, for example, have to be heavily overstocked with big beefy filtration (including a sump that expands the water volume substantially) because if you stock at normal amounts they kill each other. And cichlids are very common.

For me it was the unalterable cyclic time travel in 12 monkeys, coupled with the rebellious themes. That movie hit hard and made me think when i was young (probs like 10?). Hands down favorite movie, and i credit it with a lot of my philosophical view of the universe. I believe everything is deterministic, and if you were to know all the information about every atom in the universe at any slice of time, you could entirely predict the future. Its completely untestable, of course, but it makes sense to me. After all, everything is physics.

Whats really sad is… genuinely every town I’ve -ever been to- had a train station. Most of them have been converted into other things, the rest torn down. But they were there.

We had the whole system of rail already spanning most of the country. And stopped maintaining it. 😭😭

I rode a train for the first time last year because it cut the worst part of the drive into/out of a big city off, and wasn’t -too- expensive. So instead of dealing with a car in a place I’m not comfortable driving, we parked where I was comfortable and took the train the rest of the way (appx 2 hrs, if there had been a closer station to board we’d have used it, but had to drive 1.5 hrs just to get to the train), then walked. Could have also used the local light rail once we got there but didn’t need to. I fucking loved everything about riding a train! From not driving, to not driving, to holy shit it’s a train, and even not driving! Best trip, and I wish it were practical to make all of them that way. I hate driving.

I only do this when I’m reasonably sure we disagree and it will potentially start an argument. I enjoy explaining things to people and figuring out how to get them to understand. It’s communication skills, and I practice them frequently.

Biting my tongue, though, is so so so hard. Very worth it, especially in public, but so so hard.
