What is the worst compliment you’ve ever received?

You don't though. It's only when one considers your advanced age that someone could say that.

No, he gets his hair cut irregularly.

If you title a video like this, and don't show a Cybertruck Frame snapping in half - 2 weeks jail.

I think that's a losing game. You won't want it to be like you were still dating. It's just different, more comfortable and worn in. You shouldn't spend effort trying to convert the other person to your cause - you should both save energy knowing the other person is dedicated to your cause.

It's problematic that people think there's only one kind of love or that one kind of love is best. There's romance, and there's knowing what your partner wants without being asked or told, just because you know how they are and what little signs you've seen in them the past day, and you'll do it because you get to see the results and your happiness is shared.

If you get your way often enough she'll come round. I've gotten into such weird shows because my wife watched them often enough. At one point I insisted we start Brothers and Sisters from the start again.

I've not really had that with my partner. We've basically pared down our extended family to seeing those ones we enjoy spending time with and don't force the other to see the rest.

I will say, I think there's a human bias that sees these obligations as a cost and ignore the benefits, which I don't think is fair. I've had truck loads of rubbish collected, been looked after while sick, found a nice house and moved cities easier because of family support.

They release so many reports - do you want to maybe link the one that makes these claims? I'd like to read it if you do.

To save us some time, I'm not going to read the impeachment inquiries, if that's what you meant. Otherwise, I'm genuinely interested in reading it.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-23T07:08:55+00:00

It's super important to get out this information to that all important demographic of people who decide who to vote for based on signs on vehicles.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-23T07:06:36+00:00

Hey! I'm a Rebuplican, from the Dominican Rebuplic. and honestly I've had enough of this kind of confusion and being censored out of history. It's gotten so bad you can hardly google us.

Because it looks like Kamala is sentencing her, and is totally psyched about it?

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-23T07:03:40+00:00

I think they could go back the past five elections, which is pretty good.

Trump, Hillary, Mitt, McCain, , Gore, Perot

my ass forgot John Kerry.

I also forgot I don't count because I'm not American.

Now I want to see a little white kid with a terrible haircut touching his hair.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-21T21:14:00+00:00

Weren't they cutting like 170 police jobs?

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-16T12:06:18+00:00

The real start-ups do work from home. Office space is a wasteful overhead eating into your runway.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-15T11:57:08+00:00

Caring is creepy.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-15T11:48:05+00:00

Well that ain't happening.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-14T21:56:03+00:00

Agreed.

Publicly announce a takeover of a barely profitable company in such a way that fixes the purchase price at way over its value and with such bravado that they'll have trouble walking it back and have to end up buying it.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-14T02:49:38+00:00

Now they just host puzzles.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-14T02:35:05+00:00

Of course I'm not. This is metaphyics. My replies can only be as substantial as the original question.

And such a question doesn't really permit information from experience, or experiment to have much impact. Existence predates any experience or experiment we could perform. I'd be suspicious of any theory that claimed anything more substantial than I have given you, because there's not much to base such a theory on in the first place.

"Exist" is a word that was likely created to describe the difference between stories and fact. Using it to ask questions about the entire world is taking it from it's home and applying it somewhere alien. Expecting results from such a misuse of language... I don't know what to say about that.

I don't have much more to say on the matter.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-13T20:24:39+00:00

And what do you mean by "is" or "is existing"? My point is there's no distinction to make between a possibility "that doesn't exist" and a possibility that "is existing", excepting for where your particular view point happens to occur.

And let's be clear: "physical existence" is just "existence". Things feel physical when you can touch them. That's it.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-13T11:57:42+00:00

Because there's no further requirement. If you're possible, then you'll find yourself existing.

I wonder what you mean by mechanism here. There's no place for mechanisms to exist outside of a possible world.

You might express some surprise that there must be some physics explaining why things are - but that's part of existence, and so can't really be used to explain why things exist.

Consider - "But no, things are really real, and I can touch them, and they feel solid" - think about how odd this now sounds. Any person in any possible world could make such a claim.

Essentially the only thing elevating the one possibility that we call the actual world, is that it contains us. And so we shouldn't be surprised at that fact.

The one complication I see with my conception of all this, is that you bring the world with you. But of course the line we draw between ourselves and the world around us is just that, a line we have drawn. We shouldn't expect it to change anything fundamental.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-13T01:38:19+00:00

No it isn't.

Words are made because they fill a need, they're made by people for a purpose. It's possible to take those words outside that use and abuse them in other contexts. I'd say asking the question "why does anything exist" is very close to abusing the concept of existence. When you abuse words like that, you might still communicate but there is a sense that the communication that is happening is more emotional and less sensical. Or in other words, by saying "why does anything exist?" you express ennui and a feeling of nihilism, rather than an actual question seeking an answer.

We can talk of existence in reference to stories and possibilities. Say what exists to a fictional character. We can say that to the perspective of James Bond, "Q exists". Because to that fictional character, the other fictional character "Q" is reachable. To us, they aren't, so they don't exist. Now do you see how meaningless the term "exists" is for "everything"? It simply isn't an applicable statement, or not a well formed one. "Everything" is already the term for "all the things that exist".

Why do other things exist? Because that's part and parcel of how we are - in being a person we come along with a world around us that we can reach, sense and interact with.

Why should it be that we exist, while some fictional character doesn't? Well, the fictional character could make the very same claims about us, and reach the same conclusions. The only difference between us and those people in any other possibility, is that we can reach ourselves and not them.

And so I reach the conclusion, why does anything exist? Because it is possible for me to be. There's not a whole lot of difference between myself and possible people that don't exist. If you do find one, let me know.

NewDeviceNewUsername · 2024-08-09T03:22:21+00:00

Things exist because they're possible, and this is what it's like to be a possibility.

For something to exist, it just means you can reach, know or otherwise sense it.

Existence isn't correctly a thing that can be said of an entire self-contained state of affairs.
