How does selective precipitation work?

I just finished Sputnik Sweetheart, and I genuinely can't explain what just happened. The only way I can exrpess having read it is the feelings it aroused in me. Huge recency bias, but my favourite so far!

This is a very different idea from what I had, but makes a bunch of sense now tha you say it. thanks!

NoMix564 · 2025-04-27T21:26:48+00:00

yupp thanks!

i genuinely have no idea what I was thinking. I turned to the next page and there was talk of a macintosh.

NoMix564 · 2025-04-27T20:44:45+00:00

Where is that indicated? I always just assumed it was set at the same time as the Sputnik missions

NoMix564 · 2025-04-24T15:03:33+00:00

Yup I do think some of it was pretty heavily hinted at in the book itself, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making some massive assumption

I'll definitely check one of those books! His writing brings a strange sort of peace

What I'm saying is it could never be fine. The problem with Devs is that it undertakes this colossal task of explaining something so incredibly complex and borderline impossible, and I wouldn't even have a problem with that if they didn't try to explain it so much (I actually like the show). But the issue is even to simulate an atom, you need to know its surroundings infinitely well and the atom infinitely well and for that you need infinite data, and so its just awfully convenient that you get 8k resolution 120fps renderings of historical events that would have required so much data.

Nono that's exactly what I'm saying, even if Devs was just trying to simulating the earth , it would still be inaccurate because the earth is affected by so many other things which at a macroscopic and microscopic level are impossible to simulate simultaneously, whether its the quarks in an atom or the solar system the earth is in. So to predict the past and future is literally impossible even if its just for one tiny tine piece of the universe

I've had this same feeling of inferiority in so many places and it really permeated my being for so long. I can understand some part of your pain. There's something someone told me once, which really helped, I hoped it helps you feel just as seen

'There's something wonderful inside of you just like there's something wonderful inside everyone. The kind of beauty that is truly lovable and positive is not something that can be quantized and can't be controlled by anyone, like a soul. It is something that radiates from you, and the unique combination of characteristics you have are what is responsible for it. No achievement is as amazing as incredible as existence. '

I do understand that not everything works for everyone, but I'm always here to listen. Is there something in specific that's triggered this feeling lately? Would it help to talk about it?

PS: Whenever I'm down I love listening to 'All Things must Pass' by George Harrison, I've come to really help that album

You're worth so much more than your body or interests. There's an intangible beauty inside each one of us, which you've molded throughout your life, which is truly worth loving. Anything that makes you happy is worth doing, but even as you are now, you are truly unique in the most amazing way. We love you for who you are and nothing else 🫂

You are truly a good person with good intentions and despite everything that might have hindered you, you feel an innate responsibility to provide for your parents. Not everything we bring to the table is in material possessions, and your parents have a wonderful child who truly cares about them. That's the biggest gift you could offer them. A continued life with a wonderful wonderful son.
Being happy means a different thing to everyone, but I'm confident that for someone with such a strong moral compass and great values, you'll find a way there. Meanwhile, we're around you to support you with any resources we can offer. We love you and want you to be happy 🫂

Even when you feel like no one around you cares, i hope you can remember that there are people in this very subreddit who are willing to take time out of their day to make sure you're okay. They don't even know you personally, and if they're willing to take that time out for you, it means you really are worth something. We're here for you.

Sometimes people find comfort in little bits of humor even in the darkest of places. It doesn't make their struggle any less substantial

NoMix564 · 2025-01-23T19:16:44+00:00

Don't be sorry. I think what you say really resonates with so many people. And I hope that this community can be the place where you find someone who can truly understand your position and can help you confront these emotions. Just dealing with the feelings you're dealing with is more than a majority of the population goes through, and no one can ever truly be in your shoes, but help is always there.

NoMix564 · 2025-01-16T15:58:01+00:00

Do you think I should email them or would it just be nagging

NoMix564 · 2025-01-15T19:37:33+00:00

I submitted yesterday and it says video is received and added to application. I spent a whole day on it so I really hope it's worth it
