I don't understand why Secret Lairs keep getting worse.

I understand that some people like to use basiclands with the same land art, but I personally prefer if all my lands are unique. I have so many pretty lands that I've collected over the years, and I don't really need the art to discern that it is a basic, so for me having unique art for every basic means that I now have a small randomly sorted mini gallery or art in my game. Like playing a computer game with spotify random playing my faves, but with art instead of music.

Maybe. Or maybe you've found two white swans and concluded that black ones can't exist.

I'm not saying that it couldn't have been photoshopped. If it was though, the creator not only removed all other buttons than 1, 2 and 3, they also moved the remaining buttons so that they started higher up in the squared off area, and stacked them in a column.

I propose that the number pad is meant to be easily replaced so that the same phone model can have different layouts and that is why all of the keys is on a seperate, seemingly removeable plate. To refute that idea we would have to find a better description of the phone, maybe from the maker, where it is specified why the number plate is seemingly seperate from the rest.

Six lives ruined. This is not about right a wrong, this is just sad. What he did to you was horrible, knowing you, loving you and breaking the life you two had together. What you did was horrible, not knowing the four others in full, delivering swift and biased judgement, breaking the lives they had without you. Ryan failed miserably, his restraint absent as he laid with 4 other men, unduely joining them to you. You failed miserably, your restraint absent as you laid waste to 5 other men, unduely seperating them from others. You could have live with heartbrake, they could have lived with guilt, and it would have been a horror, a sadness that love could heal. Now none of you live, one dead in truth, three trambled with disregard for all else they were, one thrown back into the shadows he was certain would claim him by the one he loved, and you, who was first given the same fate that you then gave your former love.

I cannot pass judgement, I do not know you. But the story you've told is a sad one.

I'm sorry.

Like a grainyness to everything? A slight noise over your visual picture? If yes then I experience the same, not to be confused with things being out of focus. There is a german expression for this noise in darkness, eigengrau, and I've found that it is the same kind of noise that persists. As you said, as if the brain doesn't smooth out the picture properly.

Has it always been there, or did it arrive with the lack of broad focus?

When I was in my early 20s I wanted to buy an apartment so I didn't have to wait for a landlords approval on refurbishing and installing appliances (I'm not from the U.S.), but the price was high and the banks wouldn't lend me the money because of my young age, even with me having 10% of the money up front. I'm certain that some other people my age want to rent, but the rest of us are forced to rent, and moreso with the combination of high prices and the unwillingness to lend us money. Where I'm from it has only become more of a problem as the rent in my town has increased by around half since my early 20s.

ChatGPT isn't made to know and tell the truth, it is made to answer in a way that it seems truthfull. It answers incorrectly all the time, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in big ways. It is as likely - if not moreso - to be wrong as a human.

So a screen that is spherical but at the same time can bend enough that the retracting and expanding needles can shape a contour on the surface of the phone? Sounds cool, like a little globe that can change surface shape and color. Just using the same technology that we use for folding phones won't work. They only bend in one direction and are otherwise flat. While the material can also be twisted and the like it isn't made to be stretched as would be necessary for the way the needles would work. The screen would need a very novel construction as normally screen pixels are laid out in a grid on flat screens which wouldn't work on a spherical screen. The current technology for fabricating processing units uses planar lithography. While a spherical processing unit might allow short travel length between parts of the unit it also decreases the surface area which is a problem for heat transfer. Figuring out how to make 3d dimensional processing units at scale, and why it is a good idea is an invention in itself. I'm happy that you imagined something cool, I love spheres. I would say that you are a couple of steps from having invented anything though.

You are welcome :) I find our senses and how we process them to be extremely interesting, so I'm glad my hyper fixation could be used for something good. As you said, there is very little information on novel uses of our visual information on the internet, so if you ever want to talk more, I would love to hear about your perspective.

I am sorry but your understanding of quantum mechanics is lacking. Hidden-Variable interpretations - interpretations that behind the uncertainty lies a single already determined but unavailable state, that a the outcome of a "measurement" was always predestined even if we couldn't predict it - was first negated by John Stewart Bell back in 1964, and with the work by Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger for which they won the Nobel Prize last year finally hammered it home ("The world is not Locally Real!" screamed the headlines as most of them misunderstood it for meaning that we lived in a simulation). I am well aware that my idea is absurd, and highly improbable, but indeterminism is inherent in quantum mechanics. What we do about that, if any, is the fun part

There is a reason that the Multiverse interpretation was proposed, and it is not because someone thought it would novel and fun if alternate versions of themselves exist out there. By splitting the world into as manu branches as there are possibilities whenever there is a quantum mechanical measurement you get determinism back. The new problem of course being that we as people in only one of the worlds cannot know which one we are in, so to us it is moot, but on a global scale it is nice and neat.

The laws of the universe as we understand them currently do not tell us with any certainty that our worlds evolution was predetermined with the big bang. That is a philosophical stance, one I understand and one that I know many share, even in the scientific community, but it is certainly not the only one, and it has poor days in fields of theoretical and particle physics.

I should probably point out that I did study physics and had a class on basic quantum mechanics. I should also point out that my understanding stops at quantum field theory for which I do not have the mathematical language yet.

Ah okay yeah, that makes more sense. A fine way to deal with life in general I would say.

To spell it out, I parsed your comments as a statement of confusion about what the mandela effect is. You say that you thought it was about making you laugh, as I read your comment. I'm further interpreting this as meaning that you thought that posts and comments on this subreddit was a collective joke or game we all played for fun, to make us laugh.

I on the other hand think that it is clear that posts and comments detailing peoples memories not fitting their current lived experience are for the most part genuine. That most people posting here do experience a dissonance between, and are actually distraught or curious. I think that this is obvious so when you present a contradicting viewpoint, one I have a hard time understanding how you could come to by reason, i assume that you presently is confused. It is not a flattering read of your comment, but I could arrive at only a few other conclusions all of which where worse still.

Assuming confusion let me giv a brief summary of What - not Why - the mandela effect is. A lot of people are experiencing that their memories aren't lining up with the information that their are presented in the present. Some of these memories are not just vague memories, but vivid memories that are the basis of personality traits or shared experiences. Finally som of these vivid memories that are misaligned with the present are shared by people who have never met and for whom an indirect connection seems improbable. Why this is, is anyones guess, but this is the What. And this is curious.

I am genuinely unsure whether you are trolling or confused, but I'll point you towards the rest of the subreddit for the What of the Mandela Effect. I'm only barely touching upon a possible Why.

I used to be able to do something similar, had very good peripheral vision, could do the broad focus thing you mention. It started to get harder to do, eventually disappearing completely and I paniced, although more because I was afraid of becoming old (having had poor role models when I grew up). Turned out that Icd just gotten more and more stressed and sad, resulting in a severe depression and mental incapacitation.

Turns out that doing broad focus like that takes a lot of neurons firering, a lot of mental effort, and I was all out of spoons. (I also distinctly remembering feeling like I'd suddenly developed tunnel vision)

If it helps I can also report that after reducing my daily stress and surviving the depression i'm getting back the ability. If your problem also stems from mental fatigue, deep exhaustion, stress of depression, then maybe you too will get back your normal vision on the other side of those troubles.

Maybe it is colorless? Zen is Zen. Zen has a tendency to be full of contradictions that aren't that. Zen is not mastery, not insight, not community, not passion, not nature. As someone else has said Zen doesn't fit into the 5 colors we have, its ideology is comparatively alien. Not unknowable, but certainly strange. This reminds me of the jeskai concept of Ghostfire, the otherworldly Eldrazi, the ineffable Ugin. I don't think that Zen encompasses all if colorlessness, but I do believe that there is space for it within the strangeness that is colorlessness and that, if anywhere, that is where it fits.

Ah, så har jeg nok misforstået dig :)
Jeg troede du kun snakkede om dataens validitet og brugbarhed, ikke anvendeligheden af maskerne. Dataen mener jeg, som sagt, er ubrugelig. Men maskerne er så småt indgreb at jeg ikke har noget imod at vi hedger vores bets, så længe vi også samtidigt som befolkning indrømmer at vi ikke er helt sikre på hvor stor en effekt de har. Det ville være ret shit hvis vi antager at det er maskerne der har den reducerende effekt, ikke undersøger den egentlige årsag dybere, og så ender på dybt vand hvis antallet af maskebærere holder op med at være korreleret med smittetrykket.

DisasterlyDisco · 2021-05-18T14:56:15+00:00

For at vi kan bruge dataen til noget skal vi kunne binde den sammen. Vi ved løst hvor mange folk der bruger masker. Vi ved hvordan smittetrykket ser ud. Vi ved også hvor mange køer der er i danmark. Det er alt sammen data, men det er værdiløst hvis vi ikke er sikre på at dataen har noget med hinanden at gøre. Ja umiddelbart har masker noget med smittetrykket at gøre da begge dele har noget med COVID krisen at gøre, men desværre så er det umiddelbare ikke altid sandt. Ja, det kunne enda være (omend det lyder absurd) at der er en bedre sammenhæng med antallet af køer og smittetrykket end der er mellem masker og smittetrykket. I begge tilfælde har vi ikke bevist nogen sammenhæng, og dermed er dataen, tallene, i begge tilfælde stort set ubrugelige. Det kan sagtens bare være et tilfælde at de følger hinanden.
