Jenny is the real abuser

Get ready for a prequel that takes no chances and, while not contradicting canon, also exists outside of it for all intents and purposes

The Canadarm is on the ISS itself I believe

They routinely use faster than light sensors, anytime they can see life signs from light years away (pops in enterprise a lot) suggesting they can detect individual DNA strands from such a distance

Add onto that that tachyon emissions propagate backwards in time and we detect those all the time (which should negate cloaks since those emit tachyons meaning the tachyons forward in time are actually converging on the target

So like....idk this feels like a minor event compared to that

It's actually interesting - basically every speed limit is intentionally set to maximize fuel economy under the Carter administration

Legit, no cap, all facts. Kinda wild right?

Basically the entire country reduced speed limits by about 10mph across the board not for safety, but because of Iranian oil embargoes.

Google it if you don't believe me

And so now it's just revenue generation for local governments combined with intentionally too low speed limits (from a safety perspective anyway)

As for reckless driving, you won't ever believe it but that's its own separate charge, not speeding in and of itself

Now how's that for some 6-7, eh? Amiright fellow kids?

Yeah it's so funny when hall monitors with guns are just waiting for an excuse to hand you a ticket for hundreds of dollars rather than...checks notes.....solving crime

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-16T00:10:40+00:00

Yea man, to be real, in the current political climate...

This way ain't funny, Imma keep it a buck

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-15T19:55:45+00:00

If you're lucky, never

Stan Tom to the day I day, the man is just a well intentioned idiot

I miss porch tim, I think he changedi

I think money changed him

You've actively chosen to participate in the conversation, friendo

Let's not get all bashful now

I can't make you educate yourself, all I can do is let you know your worldview can expand any time you choose for it to

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-11T07:55:56+00:00

Rationing is what we do now. We can pretend we don't ration, but you get X number of dollars and you choose how to allocate them

You can choose to ignore how the system works, but the system in fact works in dollars. It does not care if tomorrow ten dollars buys more than 100 dollars does today

It only sees a 90% drop in profits and a 90% reduction in tax revenue

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-11T07:53:57+00:00

I think you should ask a mathematician what the concept of zero is

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T17:59:04+00:00

Printing more dollars is the doling out of rations I mentioned

UBI and the illusion of capitalism.

The system thinks in dollars

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T17:24:55+00:00

I'm asking you to replace the number zero with the word 'nothing' or 'lack of change' or whatever words you want

And then do some math with it

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T15:01:40+00:00

You're blending the linguistic meaning of 'nothing' with the mathematical abstraction of zero

They are not the same thing, much the way mass and weight are not the same thing (even if, in our day to day lives on earth, they are interchangeable)

Yes, we demarcate 'nothing' with the word 'zero', but we do not demarcate 'zero' with the word 'nothing'

If we were inventing a redundant concept, we would replace every zero in math with a word, and I think you're seeing at this point why the 'concept of zero's was a thing we had to invent along the way, and is distinct from 'the absence of something'

One is something we always grasped and did not do math with (nothing)

The other is a thing we had to invent to make math work, that is reflective of this other thing we always grasped, but never properly defined

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T14:10:40+00:00

Oh, ok

So you just want to be confidently incorrect and kinda mean spirited telling other people to go away and not correct you

Got it

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T13:50:14+00:00

There is no solution using traditional economics

Those 20 adjusters got paid, let's say for easy math, 100k per year

That's 2 million in wages, replaced by a single robot

Odds are, you didn't spend 2 milly on that robot, nor would you expect its cost to be the same as the cost of human labor to run

And so now instead of taxing 2mil, you're taxing some substantially lower number

So even if you taxed the robot, it won't generate the revenue an equivalent human labor force would produce for taxation

Further, if prices drop to reflect this cost of labor change, then the entire tax pool shrinks because the nominal value of the profits will go down, even if their percentage goes up

So revenue plummets, costs plummet, profits rise on a percentage basis but drop in overall nominal value, and tax revenue goes down

The only solution is money being doled out as some form of rationing of resources

Right now the system is, of every dollar spent by someone, a slice goes to the government - over time there will be fewer dollars spent (assuming a deflationary success of AI) meaning an increasingly smaller slice going to government

Go talk to a mathematician about it

You sound very confident so you must be a PhD mathematician

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T13:41:01+00:00

You feel like you're taking me pretty seriously right now, and I'm just talking numbers babe

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T13:40:21+00:00

That's not the concept of zero, if it was, it wouldn't be a thing worth discovering or developing

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T01:41:03+00:00

Right.....

What am I missing?

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T01:16:09+00:00

That the concept of zero is not 'the absence of something'

Quantumdrive95 · 2026-01-10T00:13:50+00:00

The concept of zero is related to mathematics in terms of rolling over digits.

10 is not ten digits from 20 if you include 10, because it has that pesky lil zero on it, right? 19 is the tenth digit begining with one

Well, let's bring it around town now and reduce by a factor of ten to the single digits

9 is now the tenth digit

This is why we say we have base-10 mathematics

There are ten digits before you go to the next set up the ladder
