  1. What people in the scientific community call c is veeeeeeery narrowly defined as the speed of light in a perfect vacuum. That’s not how fast light travels in reality because reality isn’t a perfect vacuum. It’s the supposed “speed limit of the universe” because nothing, not even the photons of which light is composed, can traverse the distance from point A to point B faster than c.
  2. This separation of spiritual and physical is a duality. The trick is to feel great unconditionally. I’m still working on that also. I know exactly what you mean in those first 2 sentences. I avoid everything and everyone unless necessary (still need a job to pay bills, still need groceries and gas for the car, etc.) and COVID reinforces that. But this avoidance ultimately won’t make me “happy” or “complete”. It’s just a phase in the pursuit of happiness. Things change. Life happens.
  3. I’ll have you know, The Iceman’s name is George Gervin! *shakes fist*
  4. Is any military hegemony good for the world? Also, this is basically the entire premise of Team America: World Police.
  5. Quickest thing you can do is apply at restaurants and grocery stores. The stereotypical bullshit jobs that kids get in high school that “build character” because there’s no enjoyment in the daily toil. They’re always looking to hire. If you’re living with your folks, you can still save up money on that low wage. For your health, look only for places in comfortable walking/biking distance and never drive to or from work. Also avoid the food at any restaurant you apply to unless it’s menu is specifically designed to be healthy. If you can afford to be patient, don’t apply to those jobs. Aim higher.
  6. Fuck yeah, Texas! I’m surprised 2016 even had good turnout for the general election at all, really. Ted Cruz won the Texas primary by a landslide. Hillary Clinton got more votes in the Texas primary than Donald Trump. And good on the Harris County clerk as well! There is no such thing as shy Trump supporters in Michigan. The signs and little car flags are everywhere. They are loud, outspoken people. There’s at least one big parade float for Trump.
  7. Don’t read this post.
  8. Well, everyone’s situation is different. I know a few people who live without jobs and stable income. But it can be pretty stifling. You made it this far, though! What made you realize a change needs to happen, @Loss ? And how urgent does that change need to be?
  9. Imagine the shitstorm we’d be in if it ended up as this map with the exception of Wisconsin being red...
  10. @Thewritersunion double that for me
  11. Dumb lives matter too, ya know? Having Leo on a pedestal is a perspective. Not actuality.
  12. It’s your life. You decide how to live it.
  13. My condolences to Polish women. How long is the Polish presidential term?
  14. 1. Voter turnout will probably be higher this time. 2. The 91% is probability of winning, not amount of votes.
  15. Ah, bulk-size wholesale consciousness!
  16. Chances are high that results on November 3rd will be contested. What happened with Florida in 2000 could happen in a buuuuuuunch of different states. People keep waiting for November 4th to come so they can relax. November 4th might just add to the tension, but I hope to be proved wrong.
