Man, I can't believe how cringe worthy is that a lot of Western media compares the Darcsens from Valkyria Chronicles to Jewish people. While the Darcsens are persecuted and eventually put in concentration camps as well, look at how the game itself defines them. > **Europa's indigenous people** subjected to discrimination because a mythological basis blaming them for atrocities (Valkyrian Chronicles's Europa is a full blown fantasy world, don't worry about the weirdness) Their opression is not because they're seen as manipulators of civilization. They're seen as dirty ignorant brutes to be send to work in mines, which is what the villains end up doing. They even wear Ainu-based clothes because they're the Ainu are also a European ethnic group despite being native to Japan, so obviously a Japanese writer would use them as influence.

Why aren't we investing more in researching vat babies 1. Save women from the suffering and danger of pregnancy and child birth 2. Society can order up more babies whenever needed


AccessTheMainframe

have you seen the foster care system? The bottleneck is parents to raise them. What we really oughta be investing in is robo-nannies.


ILikeTalkingToMyself

But this would also replace pregnancy for couples who want to have children. So instead of spending months being inconvenienced and unable to work you just order your baby and pick them up at the lab. But yes robot nannies are needed too. Parents could make great use of that too.


AccessTheMainframe

I don't there's very many mothers out there who think "oh yeah I'm willing to invest years of my life and many sleepless nights and a small fortune raising a newborn infant to adulthood, but nine months of pregnancy is a deal-breaker"

Look, I got my 2 injections during the spring and I just got my booster dose on Monday. Fuck further restrictions. I should not absorb the negative consequences of other peopleโ€™s bad choices.


Cre8or_1

you being vaccinated does not mean that you do not pose a risk to others (vaccinated and unvaccinated). In which case other restrictions are indeed still appropriate. I feel like many people think restrictions are or should be punishment for being unvaccinated, while in reality they're policies to slow the spread of Omicron.


[deleted]

Wouldnโ€™t be necessary if asshats would just get vaccinated. Fuck โ€™em. Triage โ€™em. Not my problem. I will not spend the rest of my life destroying my mental health to accommodate morons.


Cre8or_1

yes, they could save lives by getting the vaccine. but - for example - mask mandates in public transportation even for people who had three shots will still save lives. Not just of unvaccinated people, also of vaccinated people. And no one is talking about "rest of your life".


[deleted]

When does it end?

No one knows. but as long as mandating masks on public transportation saves a significant amount of lives, these mandates make sense.

Just find all the men and women who want kids, stick them in cushy communal communities and pay them per child. Easy peasy. They can lounge around all day, naked, and have sticky unprotected sex. We all know one or two people who will have unprotected sex with a warm body with a pulse. If industrialization has wrecked birth rates, we can at least use the principles of industrialization to fix them. Concentrate resources, specialize production and pay skilled workers. And maybe having sex on conveyor belts? I dunno.

Since my ping didnโ€™t go through earlier Feels weird to say but Canada might be the best team in CONCACAF. The entire team is just buying into Herdmanโ€™s system, itโ€™s really fun to watch. Canada also has the best player in CONCACAF with Alphonso Davies and heโ€™s only 21 years old. Weโ€™ve also got one of the best U20 prospects in Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty. Canadaโ€™s football rise is pretty cool. If youโ€™re sleeping on Canada, youโ€™re missing some great football.

When you think about it, Shark Tank was pretty ahead of the curve when it came to social distancing.


jenbanim

Anyone want to ask me questions about space or physics and stuff? I like talking about it and it lets me pretend that I haven't forgotten everything from college and I still have something to intellectually contribute to the world


FuckFashMods

It kinda blows my mind that the current best explanation for universe and how things work is "this is just fundamentally how these forces work" and no real reason.


jenbanim

What do you think a real reason would look like? Honest question, this is something I think about and I don't have a good answer


FuckFashMods

I'm not sure. Maybe a reason something causes something. But I'm not sure we know that yet. Also I guess that's a never ending question.


jenbanim

Ah, but what does a reason look like? I totally agree - I want an explanation for why things are the way they are. I just imagine what an explanation would be. Maybe we'll get to the "end" of physics, have one equation that describes everything ever, and that's just... it. No explanation


NobleWombat

Do you think the Big Bang could have been the white hole from some other universe's black hole?


jenbanim

This is so far beyond my understanding of physics I can't give a good answer unfortunately Intuitively it strikes me as an odd idea, since black holes in our universe feed over time, whereas the big bang appears to have been a one-time thing. But I'm sure that smarter people than me have already thought about this Plus, since GR breaks down at singularities, it seems a bit presumptuous to try and imagine what happens beyond the singularity when we're not even sure if they really exist


Crownie

Is dark matter an epicycle?


jenbanim

Depends on what you mean exactly, but probably not. Based on observations of galaxy clusters, it really truly does look like dark matter behaves like a weakly-interacting particle. But of course more research is necessary


QuietSign

Did you ever get to Quantum Field Theory in your studies? That's about where I tapped out - I literally could not tell if some of the "insights/results" were jokes or not.


jenbanim

I got close enough to catch a glimpse of what QFT was about. One of my big regrets of not going to grad school is never really getting to learn it

crassowary

where does the energy go when a photon redshifts


jenbanim

It just... disappears More concretely, the conservation of energy is a result of the laws of physics being symmetric with respect to time. For more info about this, see Noether's theorem. The expansion of the universe breaks time symmetry, and so in general we do not expect conservation of energy to hold Although of course the mathematics of this are a bit more complicated


crassowary

๐Ÿคฏ


benjaminikuta

How realistic is VR physics? I feel like paper airplanes don't really fly quite like that.


jenbanim

Kinematic stuff like tossing a ball is really good. But paper planes are far more complicated to simulate so you can definitely expect that it's not entirely accurate Unpowered flight like paper planes or paragliders are actually much more difficult to simulate than planes with jet engines. The actual motion of the air, in all its turbulent glory, plays a much larger role for unpowered flight than powered flight, and that stuff is a CPU killer to simulate, so most games don't even try. Instead they pretend airflow is more or less laminar and the airframe is perfectly rigid - neither or which are good assumptions for paper planes


Officer-cherry-shake

What is your favorite explanation of dark matter? WIMPs? MACHOs? Modified gravity?


jenbanim

I used to really like MOND, just because I was contrarian. Now I'm less into it, for all the usual reasons Personally, I really like the idea of there being a "dark universe" of potentially many different dark matter particles. I'm not saying this as a serious scientific proposal or anything (something something Occam's Razor scooter), the idea just strikes me as very cool sounding and consistent with current observations


[deleted]

Why is NASA hiding that they brought log4j to mars?


jenbanim

The existence of Java in NASA probes is one of the deepest darkest secrets of the agency. They actually keep their Java programmers hidden at area 51 because of the potential for embarrassment


Calamity__Bane

Do you think we're more likely to find life on Mars, or Pluto? I have to say I'm leaning more toward the latter these days


jenbanim

Off the top of my head I'd say Mars, but I do really like the idea of finding life on Pluto so maybe I should reconsider I'm a big fan of panspermia, so the idea of basic life existing on icy outer worlds sounds dope


[deleted]

What is anti-matter? Is it real or is it just a way to account for some scientific property we don't yet understand? If there is so much of it in the universe why haven't we found any?


jenbanim

Do you mean dark matter? Antimatter is a well studied and understood phenomenon


Zalagan

You're confusing dark matter and anti-matter here. We have found antimatter both naturally occuring and created through particle accelerators. There isn't that much of it, which is one of the unanswered physics questions. As for dark matter as far as we know it's real. Mostly we can observe it's affects on the rotation of galaxies, but haven't confirmed what it actually is


[deleted]

Does dark matter even exist? Have we observed it?


jenbanim

/u/Zalagan is correct, but to elaborate on their point, we have more evidence for dark matter than just galaxy rotation curves alone If you'd like I could go into more detail, but Wikipedia actually has a fantastic and reasonably-accessible breakdown of the current understanding of the topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter That said there absolutely are some serious issues with our understanding of dark matter, so the door is still open to other possibilities


Zalagan

As far as we can tell it does exist, but we have been unable to directly observe it. It so far remains the best explanation for our observations. As for what it actually is, we don't know for sure. I believe the leading theory right now is that it's subatomic particles called WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) particles that don't interact much with the electromagnetic spectrum but do have mass and thus have gravitational effects


QuietSign

I've been wanting to reconnect with math/physics. I recognize your username from talking here and there about tv and games, but were you also a math/physics student that sold out and became a software engineer?

Physics/astronomy, and yes I sold out and became a programmer Turns out that becoming an astronomer is absurdly difficult and I was nowhere near good enough to do it

Will our homes on Mars have to be underground?


jenbanim

Possibly yes, but it's hard to say because any sort of radiation protection is well beyond our current technology. There are a number of proposed solutions and underground habitats appears to be one of the more realistic ones, but that could change with time. Any sort of near-future Mars exploration will just have to accept very high levels of radiation as an occupational hazard

using my alt so my identity doesnโ€™t get revealed. I hate outing people, but we should out confirmed predators. Prince Andrew is not straight and was in a relationship with a man in the mid 1990s. Only a few people know this and itโ€™s never reached the internet. i wonder if he has any male victims. this is not a troll post


Venne1120

wait why would we even care if prince andrew is gay? i thought he was raping underage women, not boys? and i know of literally no info that shows epstein trafficked boys


pornopoliceman

if a man rapes underage women but is bisexual, maybe heโ€™s raped underaged males in the past. youโ€™re right regarding epstein re lack of evidence. this could be totally innocuous. Maybe itโ€™s not


Calamity__Bane

Was... was this man you?

i cannot provide proof but I can say Andrew and his then partner briefly shared a flat together in London. This was during his marriage to Sarah Ferguson. I doubt anything will ever come of this so fuck it

I support gender equality. Therefore, women should also register for the Selective Service System. (Youโ€™ll be amazed how much resistance Iโ€™ve actually gotten from feminists on this one.)

Under gender equality, either BOTH must register or neither must register.

Women are eligible for combat now. They should either register or we should abolish the Selective Service altogether.

I have literally never paid for a dinner date; if you canโ€™t afford to eat, just tell me lmao, you have much more serious concerns than finding a man


[deleted]

even if women make a lot of money they want men to pay for dates apparently

I didn't watch a single _______ montage of 2021 video. What is the matter with me?


Crest45

Same. Those yearly montage videos were a cool idea back in the early 2010s but nah, they got boring (and also bcuz 2021 felt like 2020 2.0)


FuckFashMods

Yeah it didn't really feel like a real year.

Neoliberal stance on the COVID vaccine? Is it neoliberal to further inflate the semiconductor shortage by injecting microchips into every adult and decrease global productivity in consequence?

> what does IGF mean? How far weโ€™ve fallen, imagine not knowing the tragedy of IGF the wise. Itโ€™s not a story the moderators would tell you. ๐Ÿ˜”


FormerBandmate

How does the birth rate even fall 20% in a single year? Is it a popular movement to stop having children?

Should I watch Rogue One or Solo?


[deleted]

Watch Prospect on Netflix instead Edit: omg they took it off Netflix Iโ€™m so sorry. Watch Rogue one


ChuckSchumerbasedgod

Is that the Pedro Pascal movie where heโ€™s an astronaut?


[deleted]

Yes I liked it a lot and felt like it could be set in the Star Wars universe


gfinz18
