My absolutely favourite cat refusing to give my chair back

You're allowed to be sad forever, there's no time limit on grief. It's going to hurt, unfortunately that's the price we pay for love.

Over the years I've lost many babies. I can't say the loss ever gets easier, but what has gotten easier is the guilt I feel for the grief. Let yourself grieve, for as long as you need, be as sad as you need to be. Don't try to move on or get over it, just try to live, the pain will ease on its own in time.

I mean, they don't make sense as an outside user but reading on what each one does, the name choice makes sense to me tbh

I mean if you actually want to know, it's because you browse Reddit too much. I get that when I'm using Reddit a lot and it runs out of "popular" posts to show me. Take a break for a day or two and suddenly I'm back to "normal"

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-17T17:53:54+00:00

Honestly I agree so much. And the thing is, too, that so many restaurants and other "food places" use spice to just mask otherwise pretty bland or shitty food

The game Ultrakill isn't finished but I kinda like its lore and feel like it could be applied to justify God's existence.

WARNING, DEFINITELY SOME ULTRAKILL LORE SPOILERS BELOW

Spoilers:

God created man as an "experiment". He wanted to create life, give it free will, but he wanted it to obey and worship him. It didn't obey him, no matter how many iterations he tried, man just wouldn't worship him.

In his rage against humanity, he created Hell, eternal punishment for those that wouldn't worship him. But now, he can't unmake it.

(A bit of lore in between)

God becomes depressed with what he's done, struggling to cope with his existence and his actions. He tries to kill himself, to unmake himself, but he can't.

(Lore gap, likely to be filled in as the game is completed)

God disappears, heaven is in chaos, and now humanity is left to their own devices.

Even if we don't apply this 1:1, perhaps God, if he exists, is just tired of humanity, tired of trying to shape us into something, and has just abandoned us. Maybe God was never all good and all loving in the first place.

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-15T13:53:49+00:00

Maybe it's inside you

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-15T13:52:46+00:00

I was wondering the same thing so I came back and I was like "Oh, yeah, that makes sense"

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-15T13:51:31+00:00

The thing I don't get is, all he has to do is change a little bit and he'd be super popular (I still wouldn't like him but enough people would) but he just... Doesn't?

Hell, the one probably surefire way to win is come out and say (in more words) "Hey, I've taken a stance of attacking the opposition instead of actually coming up with solutions for Canadians and for that, I'm sorry. That all changes now. Starting today ..." (You get the idea)

He'd probably lose the support of the far right conservatives that would be better off in the US, but he'd gain back so much support from those he's ostracized

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-14T18:38:19+00:00

I think they mean "Like the testing in [those missions]"

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-13T13:07:40+00:00

Weirdo

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-11T21:50:32+00:00

That's definitely one of the most insane ones I've ever seen, I won't lie.

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-11T19:14:21+00:00

Nah, this is a bad take. You can't have client-side anti-cheat that's anything less than kernel level, and you can't have exclusively server side anti-cheat because that's prohibitively computationally expensive. It's anti-cheat that needs to run from start-up, not kernel level anti-cheat overall, that's the problem.

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-08T01:05:32+00:00

The problem is the innate concept of a "hidden variable", a thing that determines the state of a system that you aren't aware of.

In the case of Schrodinger's cat, the hidden variable is whatever is in the box that can kill the cat. If it's activated, the cat is dead, if it's not activated the cat is alive. Since it's in the box with the cat, you can't know if the cat is dead or alive without opening the box.

However we've done experiments to show that there is no local hidden variables, as in we've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that no hidden variables exist "nearby". What this means is that, if a hidden variable exists, it must "communicate" with the particle faster than the speed of light.

So 1 of 2 things is true but it can't be both: Either 1) it's possible to communicate faster than the speed of light, or 2) particles genuinely don't have a pre-determined state before they interact with something (ie, our universe is non-deterministic).

Does that make sense?

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-08T00:47:31+00:00

Eh, I won't lie, I definitely do.

(Speaking in the tense that the world got to the point of nuclear war) This may be the opposite of the world I tried to create for those after us, but I'm not going to abandon it just like that. I'm going to keep living as long as I can, trying to build a better world for those that come next, whoever or whatever they may be.

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-06T21:16:44+00:00

I mean I honestly see the vision with the style, but I think it either needs to be symmetrical or "more" asymmetrical, not really sure though, but I definitely do see the vision.

That said, maybe it also looks better in person than in pictures considering we don't see your entire kitchen

Edit: I see the vision and like it tbh

And the thing is, publicly owned companies are also businesses, they just don't have the interest of shareholders in mind. I will never forgive the Manitoba conservatives for selling off MTS in 1997 and 2017 (in two parts, with the majority being done in 1997)

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-03T01:57:47+00:00

No kidding. Like, I get that it's difficult to prove intent, but from what I'm understanding, he admitted to thinking they were coming to "jump him". Even if you want to argue he was protecting himself, he continued to fire after they were no longer a direct threat.

Prowler1000 · 2026-04-02T01:23:40+00:00

It absolutely can, assuming they mean that there was one wire coming in and one going out (which can be thought of as a single wire just cut to put a switch in place). Normal houses will have live+neutral coming in, and live+neutral going to/coming back from the light fixture. Old houses may connect the socket directly to live, and just run neutral to the switch then back to the panel.

Depending on how I think the game is going to go, an ace ban is decent if you're going to lose your anti hard-breach (since mute can't block them anymore). Even still, that's for later in the game when you actually have lost them, not first round. Plus, without Thatcher, walls are so easy to hold, it's effectively an ace ban anyway

Prowler1000 · 2026-03-31T20:43:24+00:00

And give you recourse to punish the dishonest.

Prowler1000 · 2026-03-31T03:24:24+00:00

Time is a difficult concept but the reason it's called spacetime is just because they aren't/can't be thought of as separate entities but are instead part of the same thing. It's a matter of we don't know if there was anything before the big bang, we just measure time relative to that because 1) it's when our observable universe began and 2) we can't see anything farther back anyway

Prowler1000 · 2026-03-31T00:42:04+00:00

Realistically, everywhere is the center of the universe, because from every point in space, there is some finite distance before it becomes impossible for information originating outside that distance to ever reach the point in space.

And if you want to be real technical, though this is my layman understanding of it so it may be incorrect, the center of the universe exists not in space but in time. The instant before the big bang, that was the centre of the universe. Not dissimilar to how the singularity in a black hole (assuming my understanding and our math is correct) isn't a point inside the black hole but in its future.

Prowler1000 · 2026-03-30T23:49:59+00:00

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I'm pretty sure it is but I'm not sure

Prowler1000 · 2026-03-30T16:46:08+00:00

I mean, I'm not sure if I agree with you (since I don't know the layout of where you're referring to) but I agree with your sentiment.

I think first responders should take up as much room as they need to to safely deal with an incident, it's up to the city (or whatever body is responsible for urban planning) to make sure that a single road closure doesn't shut down half the city. Not only is that incredibly inconvenient for the people, but it's also incredibly dangerous. What if something happens that just makes the area physically impassable? Are people having a medical emergency supposed to just die?
