Conservation of energy is already broken by portals. Consider the portals in a frictionless tube (it could be frictioned, but that would be less fun) that use the earth’s gravity to accelerate the cube to the speed of light. If we are take the cube’s effect on the earth as non-negligible, then the earth has also accelerated a significant bit in the ‘upwards’ direction that the tube has. Simply run to the other side of the earth, put the ‘exit’ portal aiming towards the same direction as the ‘upwards’ of the tube, in this case directly at the earth, and now you have accelerated the earth twice as much in that ‘upwards’ direction with no apparent gain or loss of energy (and also have obliterated the earth, but let’s not talk about a cube’s mass hitting the earth at c.

As for the portal suddenly stopping while moving blazingly fast, sure, it’s a good quandary. It seems insane to think of the cube suddenly gaining momentum, but it’s also insane to think that a particle (in this case the portion of the cube’s atoms that are through the portal already) that is moving at speed somehow has no momentum.

You would need the portal panties to make it work. Portal A would be on a wall, or whatever object you want to thrust towards, and Portal B would be on the panties aimed at your opening. When you thrust forward at portal A, it would exit Portal B, and since Portal B is stationary (panties are magical, yo) to your opening, the pillar would rise from the portal and enter the opening.

I think the iconoclast issue is long over for all the christianity cults. It’s only the muslims that still have those proscriptions, unless there is another minor religion somewhere that addresses the image thing.

As to the “playing god” thing, I was actually quite amazed at how touchy the IVF doctors were about that issue. They had some interesting rules about what they would and wouldn’t tell the parents about the offspring options. I’d have to go ask my friends about it again for all of them, but I remember one of the rules was the doctors wouldn’t tell them the color of the eyes before choosing.

Damn, and here I was, imagining her with a white monster in a strapon behind me, while someone from /c/hungcocks was in front of me with another white monster, and they have some neat trick to pop them open after entry…

Actually, wait, let’s have her in front of me and him behind me with another strapon and the white monster.

Just so everyone is aware, even the non-flock speed readers are almost certainly tracking you by your license plate, if not more. I helped try to find a missing elderly person a while ago, maybe five or so years ago, and the government had a record of his movements based on reading his license plate from static roadside devices. I also know that the local cops had a speed display thingie like shown on the video that would alert them to license plates that were listed as stolen vehicles. I wouldn’t doubt that it also tracked every other license plate it read. That was, give or take, a decade ago.

Flock might have notoriety right now, but fuck if the ‘littler’ things like cops put up probably don’t also have more than just cameras now. I’m especially thinking of the things that look like those shown 3 or four posts down on this old post

Well fuck me sideways, I guess. I wonder how much diabetics are tracked by their stuff. My cousin has a pump and a glucose sensor that I’m pretty sure use bluetooth.

I think one of the big shocks in my life was realizing how rape really is a thing in the animal kingdom. There were two orangutans at the zoo, and the female was definitely NOT wanting to have sex. Male orangutans are massive compared to females though, and they were in a small enough cage she couldn’t get away from him.

I was going to say something similar. When there’s no ‘pressure’ and you just get to learn it without being tested on it, and potentially have negative outcomes if you do poorly on that testing, then it’s just a neat fact much like any science meme being shared.

Interestingly enough, no, not really. If you want to look it up, they call it the ‘Matthew Effect’ (from the biblical parable in matthew about the servants being given tithes by the master and using them).

Kids who read more get more from what they read later. If you’ve read ten books and your neighbor only one, you retain more and understand more from the next book you’ve read. Unless you completely stop reading, or they suddenly start reading way more, the earlier start with your reading will give you far greater benefits. A humorous little fact is that you can predict college gpa better with the amount of books read by age five (I think, it might be by grade five, it’s been a while since I read the study) than by the SAT/ACT tests.

It’s a fucking poem, Linda. Chill your beans at trying to be an amateur psychologist for a man dead 300 years already.

There was a massive crime perpetrated against high school students. Somehow, the teachers took the good idea of teaching a book and pointing out its underlying themes and historical context (that scene in great expectations where the girl plays the card game against the protagonist, as an example) to gain a greater understanding… and drove it into the ground by needlessly making everything (the infamous blue curtains) this massive deal that you absolutely had to contemplate and tear apart and put together with everything else, waaaaah!

Manslaughter is definitely a lesser charge. Usually used if the death was accidental or such.

Just to clarify on this: There are (in english common law typically used in the united states) 5 mental states associate with criminal action: intentional, knowingly, recklessly, with criminal negligence, and accidental (sometimes you’ll hear it casually as innocently). There is a great guide on this called ‘The illustrated Guide to the Law’ that everyone should read. It’s a website, just give it a search.

Intentional and knowingly are almost always considered one and the same, because proving that someone committed a crime with the express intent to commit the crime is actually really hard if you are following logic, but proving that someone knew an outcome would be the outcome for the action they took and simply did it anyway is a much easier task. Intentionally and knowingly are the mental states associated with what most of us would call murder.

Recklessly is associated with what texas is calling manslaughter. Recklessly boils down to you knew that there was a risk of the outcome occurring, and disregarded that risk and did it anyway. In this case, the state will have a MUCH easier time of proving that the driver knew there was a risk involving suddenly stopping on a road and backing up when there were other people/cars/bicyclists around, and simply carried out the risky action anyway.

If you’re curious, the last state of criminal negligence is if a reasonable person would know that the action carried a risk, even if the individual doesn’t recognize or know the risk.

Oh, and of course accidental means just that. Even a reasonable person wouldn’t expect the outcome that occurred, and the person didn’t know it. Think about the scenario of backing up from your driveway after checking behind you before even getting into the car to make sure no one is on your driveway, but one of those wild runaway prams got behind your car as you started to back up, and you knock it over and the baby falls out, hits its head, and dies.

I think you don’t see much colt anymore because they were matched by other manufacturers in quality but they never dropped their prices. I had an acquaintance with a side hobby/job of putting together rifles for people who wanted to source their own parts and make ‘frankenstein’ ar rifle platforms. I can’t remember exactly now (it’s been over a decade), but a high quality gun would cost you a little over a grand, and colts would start at one-and-a-half grand. Cheap ones were as low as $300 or $400.

That’s just ridiculous for most people buying a gun. The choice is often dictated by pricing, and the name didn’t do enough to counter the price for the people who would care about names, and the quality wasn’t better than cheaper guns for the people who cared about quality. Colt just willed itself off into the sunset.

Binga bango. One of the most important things to realize with microwave warming is that just like all (okay, probably most) other forms of heating, it works from the source of the heat (which is outside of the burrito) towards the matter being heated.

In the form of government horrors to curb protests, it means shooting microwaves at you and causing your skin to feel as if it is being boiled. In the form of your burrito, it means that the outside of the burrito will be blistering hot, and continue heating, and the heat has to slowly be conducted inwards. If your plate is not perfectly resistant to the operation of the microwave, it will also be getting hot, and since it is typically thinner and has less heat capacity (because most food has water, which has gargantuan capacity) than your burrito, it’s going to get a lot hot, very totly.

So yes, use the power settings to allow the heat time to work it’s way into your burrito and not fry the outside to death while causing your plate to consider whether today’s a good day to go molten.

President Camacho!

On a more serious note, among the recents, I highly doubt Bush jr or Obama were into pedophilia. Nixon and LBJ both had power tripping tendencies, and we know LBJ like to talk about and even show his wang, so they might be candidates. I’d weigh in on Carter not being one, but obviously he was smart enough to know how to hide that sort of shit as a politician, so who knows… Ford’s another one that it could go either way.

Reagan probably was one but everyone at the epstein places was probably too smart to invite him in on it.

You were making a post to a .world community, what did you expect?

Personally, I stay away from the womens stuff community because it is so incredibly stupid to constantly whine about people coming in and commenting when you’re making a place that literally broadcasts your posts and comments in a way that invites others to come and comment. It’s no different than having a conversation on a busy street using bullhorns and then complaining about people joining in.

When some form of the fediverse can properly do closed communities with a whitelist, then I’ll happily head there.

blows… people… for a living

I’m sure he has a good time with that.

I once knew someone named georgia. She was a real peach.
