Pumpkin spice is merely cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

Since so many pumpkin pie recipes have those 4 spices, companies like Lawry's decided to blend all 4 together and sell this blend as "Pumpkin spice". They sold it as a cheaper alternative to buying all 4 spices separately.

Pumpkin features nowhere in "Pumpkin spice".

The female "Nice Guy" is the girl who has an abuser who tricked and manipulated his way into her life,

Disagree. I base it on the woman who is dealing with the "nice person".

The "nice girl" is a supposed girl friend who is bitter that she has bad luck in relationships, or has been in bad relationships, but is jealous that her girl friends are in a happy one. She pretends to be protective of her friends by badmouthing whoever her friend is with, trying to get her to distrust her love interest, or at the most extreme proving to her friend that her love interest will hurt her. Instead of being positive and supportive about her friend's relationships, she is overwhelmingly negative, and immediately assumes the worst.

In the end, the nice girl merely wants her "friend" to be as miserable as she is so that she can validate her own cynicism towards love.

I think these men and women are suffering from pain and loneliness, and have chosen to cope with that through unhealthy means. In a way, both the nice guy and the nice girl take their frustration out on a woman while professing to be her friend.

I'd say wait and give the movie a shot. I hate the book, but the director is one of the best modern horror directors.

I could go along with that. My main problem with the novel was that it went on for so long it just started going around in circles. The premise could have worked as a short story or a 100 page novella. Or maybe have some chapters outside the house that don't involve the MC. Even in Misery, King included scenes outside the house.

Shinji is sexually repressed and lusts after Asuka, but is unable to act on Asuka's advances. It's due to his passive-aggressiveness and learned helplessness. He views Asuka's constant sexual advances as her bullying him and mocking his passiveness.

Asuka hates Shinji because she feels she is inferior to him as a pilot. She resorts to seduction and her sexuality so that she feels she has some power over him. However, she ends up feeling even more angry and defeated because to her it looks like Shinji is immune to her charms. In her eyes, Shinji is defeating her all over again.

Shinji masturbating over comatose Asuka is another manifestation of his passive-aggressiveness. He does it out of anger over Asuka since he blames her for making his life miserable by sexually bullying him and also making him care for her well-being while feeling guilty over her being injured. However, he is terrified of confrontation, so he "takes his revenge" while she is comatose. For him, it also denies her the satisfaction of discovering her bullying was successful and that he is actually attracted to her.

(In a plain vanilla mech show, Asuka's character tends to be male since she is a rival pilot to Shinji. This dynamic would only be present as a subtle homo-erotic tension due to the rival's obsession with beating the hero. If it is a female, she falls for the hero after he's proved his superiority, and she ceases to be consequential to the plot.)

How do you know the universe is actually an extremely large scale and not an extremely small scale? As in, why do you know that there are not unfathomable numbers of greater scales than our universe?

We don't know. The Cosmological Principal assumes the laws of physics and physical constants are the same even in the areas of the universe we see but are now causally disconnected from. At large scales, this should be seen as a smoothing of the visible universe. It's an assumption we have to make if we are able to do any theoretical science.

We have to assume the universe is playing "fair" with us. Yes it's faith, but the alternative is to throw our hands in the air and give up. Otherwise, we would never have a Theory of Everything.

Fractal Flow wasn't something that someone just came up with out of thin air. Someone found a particular solution to the inflation model and said, "hey, mathematically this inflation process could go on forever, and in fact there are regions that demand it should go on forever. Also, it resembles a fractal." They weren't looking for a multiverse, they just stumbled on the possibility while trying to explain an observed phenomenon. Kind of like what happened with Black holes and Einstein's equations.

Why does any of this shit exist smh

Because of the double slit experiment. QM is trying to explain why one atom can go through both slits in a barrier, something that should be impossible. Because instruments showed that the atom never did split because the measurements (it's frequency) were the same throughout the experiment.

This is why the experiment is also nicknamed "The experiment that broke reality".

Everything is still entangled and can influence everything else.

Causality and entanglement (Einsten-Podolsky-Rosen) are two different things.

No, it's not connected. This is because we reside in an expanding De-sitter space. In other words, we live in something resembling an inside out black hole where the center is held together by gravity, and everything outside is the event horizon. Everything outside this space is expanding away from us at 3 times the speed of light.

(In the future, all the galaxies that gravitationally interact with us will merge into one giant galaxy while all the light from outside our DeSitter space will red-shift into microwaves and disappear. Our ancestors will think the whole universe is a single galaxy floating in an infinite empty void.)

In fact, the Theory of inflation was a way to explain why the early universe did not collapse in on itself due to gravity. There was an inflaton field that permeated everything, and before gravity separated from the other three forces, this inflaton field caused the universe to instantly increase to a size where regions would no longer gravitationally effect each other. It also explains why the universe is so homogenous at extremely large scales (ie "The End to Greatness", where the universe looks smooth).

That was only in the stupid movie

You actually could in the manga, but the time limit was ridiculously short, like 6 minutes. If you wrote something like "X gets shot by Paul and dies," then Paul has no choice but to do it. However, if Paul can't get to a gun in time, the suggestion on Paul will wear off and X will die of a heart attack.

Kira actually framed a guy by pulling this stunt. However, he first had to make sure there was a gun hidden nearby so that it worked. The patsy didn't even know there was a gun there when he reached for it and blew the other guy away.

It is possible to write an incomplete command, leaving the victims names out of it, only to complete the kill later when the name is added in the blank spot. Kira often did this, or even sent Death note pages disguised as paperwork for the victim to seal their own deaths by signing their names to it:

Calculations suggest that structures larger than about 1.2 billion light-years should not exist, researchers said."

On a note, no less than John Archibald Wheeler criticized the Cosmological Principle and thought it was as close to religious faith as you can get in cosmology. Then again, he was in the extreme minority.

As for the Lyman-Alpha blobs, there is a suggestion that these structures are not as big as they look. Our galaxy might be on the outer edge of a supervoid. Light gets stretched and sped up due to gravitational lensing at the void's border, so it throws our measurements off slightly. These quasar groups might not be connected into large structures.

Another theory is that these large structures are caused by statistical anomalies in quantum fluctuations within the early universe just before inflation. This was when all points of the universe were still casually connected and could influence each other. The anomaly in temperature comes up in 1 out of 15 simulated models of our early universe. In statistical terms, that's pretty frequent.

In the end, the Cosmological Principle is not in danger despite these findings.

I don't know what it's called but I call this the "infinite scale theory"

This is called "The Fractal Flow" and it's a feature of Alan Guth's Theory of Eternal Inflation. A fractal is a dimension that is not represented as an integer. The ratio of the log of an object's scale to the log of the object's mass determines the fractal dimension. Fractals are the antithesis to Newton-Leibniz Calculus based on limits. In Calculus, increasing the scale increases an objects smoothness. With Fractals, the degree of roughness of the object changes based on the scale.

Wait so how does quantum suicide work

Will I always not die if I try to shoot myself or is that a misinterpretation

Quantum immortality.

The idea is that every configuration the universe can take exists in a Universal phase space. You're just following one specific path along with an infinite ensemble of other "you"s. Some of these "you's" are wildly different, while others are exactly like you except for one different thing that happens to them in the future that causes them to veer off.

(an example of a phase space would be like the color picker on MS Paint. Everywhere you click, you'll get a different value in the RGB field boxes. So the palette of many colors is a representation of every value that the RGB boxes can take. Now apply that to finding all the different values the entire universe can take).

Statistically, there are versions of you in these alternate worlds who are the luckiest person in existence. They are so lucky that highly improbable things happen to them all the time. One version of you could flip coins, and they always land on heads. There might be a version of you that can point any loaded gun to their head and the gun will always not go off. And then there are some who are impossible to kill no matter what anyone tries because their worldline says they were meant to die of old age.

This is where Quantum Immortality comes in.

I must emphasize that this is a thought experiment connected to a conjecture called "Many Worlds Theory". Although it has a lot of younger physicists who are adherents, it is still controversial. The standard interpretation of QM is still the Copenhagen Interpretation which doesn't allow Quantum Immortality because these co-existing probabilities don't happen at macroscopic scales (the everyday world we experience).

Ah, fair enough. I was talking about the singularity itself. I've seen numerous theories on what exists at the center of a black hole, from white holes, worm holes, to even the building blocks for a primordial atom. All really interesting stuff, but sadly it's unlikely that we'll find a definite answer within my lifetime, if ever.

I misunderstood the question, because what you are asking for is the Theory of Everything. And if you are able to figure out how gravity acts at the quantum level, you would have solved the greatest mystery in particle physics.

No one knows what happens at the singularity.

However, these is one theory out there called the AMPS Firewall Paradox. It's a theory that space doesn't exist beyond the event horizon, and as a result there is no singularity. Heat piles up at the event horizon creating temperatures so hot they are equal to the temperatures at the Big Bang. Matter is vaporized on contact. Part of the mass adds to the firewall, while the rest is radiated away as Hawking radiation.

Physicists are disturbed by the firewall because the traditional solutions for an event horizon say the object should cross the horizon as though it were normal space. A lot of the most recent theories about gravitational singularities are trying to explain away AMPS Firewall since it is a threat to Relativity.

If time dilation approaches infinity (and from an outside observer, becomes infinitely slow) there has to be a point in every black hole prior to the singularity in which time has slowed so much to the outside universe that it is essentially frozen for nearly eternity

Only the light slows down, the person still goes across the event horizon like normal without realizing they have crossed it. Physicists use to believe as you said which is why the old term for black holes was "frozen star". They thought the light from everything that crossed the event horizon piled up so you would see things seemingly stuck in time at the horizon.

However, light is stretched into the microwave frequency along with the space at the event horizon after the object has crossed. The image of the victim slows down until it freezes at the horizon, then it red-shifts before vanishing entirely.

It's for this reason that "black hole" replaced the term "frozen star" back in the late 50s.

"Chan" is reserved for young women, female friends, and little children. It's a diminutive, cutesy term.

Sometimes an older sister or a girl who is a childhood friend will use "chan" with a high school boy in a playful, deprecatory way to show she'll always see him as the little boy she remembers, while asserting her maturity over him. Usually, in high school romance stories where childhood friends fall in love, a major step in their relationship occurs when the girl stop's using "chan". It's to show that their relationship has moved beyond friends.

Boys will call each other "kun", and it's like calling the other person "my sidekick". Girls will also use this with boys who are the same age to show respect. Boys also tease girls who they consider tomboys by calling them "kun". It's also to signal that she's seen as "one of the guys" and that they respect her for either being tough or athletic.

It works the same way when the boy stops using "kun" with the girl. It shows that he now thinks of her as a woman and a love interest; not as one of the guys.

This is not real life, I don't know how it goes IRL, so I just explained it in terms of how it is used in anime.

It's kind of something like Catholics with church on Sunday.

Actually, Church is required if they want to take Communion.

Catholics believe if they commit a sin and die before their next Communion, the sin follows them into death. Their soul has to spend time in Purgatory, which is like mini-Hell, to burn off the sin before they can go to Heaven. If they commit a mortal sin (like adultery or murder), they go to Hell. However, Communion wipes the slate clean. That's why Last Rites and Communion are a big deal, because the dying don't want to die with sins on the ledger.

This is also why their is the old cliche about an Italian hitman killing someone, and then immediately going to confession to tell the priest that they murdered someone. That's because in Catholicism, they can murder someone and still go to Heaven as long as they take Communion and don't commit a sin afterwards. But the Communion wouldn't be valid unless they go to Confession first.

There's an ancient, 5000 year old Jewish law about flying over cemeteries?

It relates back to graveyard impurities. In temple days, if a Jew touched a dead body, they had to go to temple to get ritually cleaned. The purification process involved a red bull that was sacrificed and then burned to YWH. The ashes were smeared on the Jew's forehead, and then they were to abstain from Jewish religious rituals for a week, except Kosher law and avoiding anything else that could spiritually defile him again.

If a cohen (a Jewish high priest) touched a body or enters a cemetery, they are scourged as punishment and can't perform any priestly duties until extensive purification. This is because they have become derelict in their priestly duties.

All of this is the true meat of the parable of the good Samaritan. The Jews on the road twisted the purification laws in such a way so they didn't have to help the poor Jew and could claim this wickedness had been ordained by God's Law. In that sense, they used the Torah Laws for their own evil purposes while defaming God's name.

But going back, the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE by the Romans. As a result, the purification process for impurity of the dead could no longer be performed. All Jews today are therefore considered contaminated by the impurity of the dead. Cohen are also defiled, but to keep the Law, they still cannot enter a cemetery, even a Jewish cemetery, and they cannot touch a dead person unless the dead are their parents or children, and the duty falls on them as eldest male or parent. Even then, the cohen still cannot enter the cemetery, so the grave must be buried near the perimeter so that the Cohen can attend their loved ones funeral without having to step into the cemetery.

I feel like when AI tech is perfected, there might be a cure to loneliness.

This is actually the premise to the Andies (aka the Replicants) in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep". The Andies were made so human like because the Martians were using them for human companionship. Unfortunately, they only ended up creating sociopaths, because even though the Andies could feign emotion, they didn't actually experience it. This made them dangerous when they developed free will because they didn't have empathy to reign them in. But ultimately, the danger was caused by how humans treated them as possessions, not fellow intelligent beings with the freedom to determine their own lives.

Of course the message was that the Humans should cherish their own emotions, no matter how cumbersome or unpredictable they might be - such as caring for a robotic sheep as though it were no different than flesh and blood. That meant accepting that it is Human to love an Andie no differently than another Human, even if it seems absurd, and treating the Andies with the same compassion as they do with any living creature. It's the hallmark of being Human.

This is why I feel the original novel is far deeper than the movie "Blade Runner."

I have a cousin who was honorably discharged from the army after being permanently disabled while on duty. He was offered the choice of a monthly check for the rest of his life or one large payout.

His wife pushed him for the one payout, but my father talked him out of it. He reasoned with my cousin that at least with the monthly check he would have something to fall back on in an emergency. My aunt was less tactful. She had never trusted her daughter in law and told her son that his wife probably planned to leave him after she clears out their shared bank account. After all, the wife had already proved her duplicity by cheating on her son earlier.

When my cousin's wife found out my cousin was taking my father's advice, she cursed both my parents out. Two months later, my aunt's prediction came to pass. His wife disappeared, leaving my cousin penniless.
