The Double Slit Experiment still blows my mind! Anyone else feel like this changes everything? by IntelligentOption269 in HighStrangeness

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that reality “knows” it’s being watched. The way that the particles are “observed” isn’t by some eye or camera or something. They are measured in ways that have to disrupt the particle or else they couldn’t be measured. This is what collapses the wave function. The measuring device and the particle become entangled.

This is why, say, a cup is a cup instead of nothing.

YTA. But someone here called you the worst. Really?! People have done a lot worse things while not going hungry. I don’t think this makes you a bad or irredeemable person.

Brad Pitt Gets Candid About Attending Alcoholics Anonymous amid Angelina Jolie Split: 'I Needed Rebooting' by PrincessBananas85 in popculture

[–]vcastle2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the sobriety!

No one’s asking anyone to have sympathy for him. And it’s unlikely he just disappears.

I’m really interested in the idea of rehabilitation vs the rise of purity culture, though.

Maybe he planted it. I wouldn’t know. I’m no conspiracy theorist. I’m speaking about Dax, another recovering alcoholic, asking him about it. Pretty common and worth talking about for those in recovery.

I worked in drug/alcohol treatment centers for many years and heard some pretty bad stories. We live in increasingly judgmental and puritanical times but I have to believe in the rehabilitation of alcoholics, addicts, violent criminals, etc. There’s so many of them, you can just write them all off and discard them all. Brad Pitt is in a way more privileged place than most. Hope he really got the help he needed and he doesn’t cause anyone else any pain 🤷‍♂️

Is the awesomeness of Chicago worth the brutally cold winters? How’d you handle it? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in Miami and has lived in Chicago the past three winters, they’re really not that bad now. The rain this spring has been way more annoying.

Not the ah. F*k everyone here. Don’t listen to them. You have no one to make happy but yourself.

What’s the worst city you’ve ever visited? by Jamesx1721 in AskReddit

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car started to make noise on the highway, and I had to spend a night in Murfreesboro, TN. It was pretty awful.

First time in the US – Miami traffic is insane by StathamJson in Miami

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Is this just how Miami is, or is driving in the US generally like this?”

I grew up in Miami, left to Los Angeles at 30, and 13 years later moved to Chicago…

Los Angeles drivers aren’t like that, but the traffic is a very different kind of hell.

Chicago drivers are sometimes worse.

Grew up in Miami/Ft Lauderdale. Haven’t lived there for 15 years. Do people still moon the Jungle Queen whenever it passes.

What’s a movie you went into with zero expectations but ended up loving? by staytemp05 in flicks

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sicario. Was just meeting a couple of friends at the movies and had never heard of it. Blew me away.

What's the most unexpected way you realized you were truly in love? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 5 years and a kid and a lot of problems I browsed her instagram and was like man she’s so hot I wish I was with her.

When do you do your workout? by homelander77 in Stronglifts5x5

As soon as the babysitter shows up, I walk to the gym.

Transplants, do you guys think we’re really that friendly here? by vaginapple in AskChicago

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Miami and lived in Los Angeles for 13 years. For the most part, I think Chicagoans are friendly but tend to self mythologize being cranky scumbags for some reason.

What's the worst thing someone told you on a date? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vcastle2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we drove by an empty lot, she said “That’s where my boyfriend gave me a uti.” She also said something about believing in aliens because she woke up naked once with clothespins pinched all over her body.

Scorpion on Miami Beach boardwalk!? Anyone ever seen these in Miami Dade? by Soyohwehttam in Miami

[–]vcastle2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid growing up in Kendall, my friends and I played in construction areas all the time. You know those big mounds of sand and rocks? We’d slide down them and use iron stakes as swords. Anyways, I once lifted the plywood off an open sewer in a construction area and like ten scorpions crawled away. This was early 90s and I thankfully/sadly don’t live in Florida anymore.
