  • sorry for belaboring the point but

    That’s probably due to propaganda

    You should check out some ideologies. You probably realize, but there’s way more than red vs blue. You kind of sound like an anarchist. You don’t necessarily have to give yourself a strict label, but it’s a good idea to see what they’re about. That’s why I say political leanings, because it’s possible to find ideas you latch onto that don’t all fit neatly into one camp. Or don’t and just continue to do the actions you feel led to.

    And thank you for being receptive







  • Space and time are not the same thing, they are facets of spacetime. We are only able to traverse space because we can properly perceive it, we do not have the ability to traverse time. I obviously understand the movie is fiction, it’s still a decent attempt at showing what it might be like to be able to truly perceive and traverse time. Our way to understand it (as depicted in Arrival) is the ability to actually see and experience the past and the future. You and I and no being we know about has the ability to see anything except the present.

    As an example, the screen you are reading this on presents a 2d image. It does not have the ability to produce a 3d image (though we can make illusions that seem like it sometimes). That screen is constantly moving through 3d space (on spaceship Earth), but you still wouldn’t say that it’s presenting a 3d image because it doesn’t have the ability to directly interact with that space. Just like how we are moving through time but don’t have the ability to directly interact with that spacetime.





  • Stop making excuses and just Google it. I didn’t even know toys r us was even still a thing before that comment. If you care more about convenience than boycotting just say that, but it’s very much not “impossible” to avoid certain stores if you actually want to.

    Also they’re not your kids? Why would it be your job to get them some specific toy?
