lmao what a shitty way for the Chiefs to end the Super Bowl on a loss

Seems pretty fitting to me, honestly. KC receivers flubbing catches was pretty much the entire game. He takes a step forward and he's got that catch. It's basic shit. You go get the ball, don't wait for it to come to you. Especially when you've got 2 defenders draped all over you.

Mahomes had zero protection for 90% of the game and was still pulling off miracle throws every other play. The receivers just fucking dropped everything.

Doesn't matter who's throwing the ball. If it hits a guy in the face mask and they don't catch it, you don't blame the quarterback.

For all we know, there could only been a handful of "real" humans orbiting the last remnants of stars or black holes in the "real" universe, maintaining massive matrioshka brains siphoning the last gasps of energy in a nearly-dead universe in order to continue humanity's legacy for as long as possible.

Yeah, there's a fine line between sharing your own experience in an attempt to relate/show understanding and coming off like you're trying to one-up the other person's trauma.

I try to remember that I'm talking to that person about it because I know they do care about me, and they're not trying to be malicious. Most of the time I know their heart is in the right place, even if they're terrible at conveying it, and I focus on what they're trying to do rather than their actual words.

But if it's just some random douche bag, I usually respond with something along the lines of "damn, your life really does suck, I'm glad I'm not you." And that usually shuts them up pretty quick.

TopicWhen maxing the sphere grid, I only worry about the empty sphere spots right?
Aristoph
01/27/21 12:00:18 AM

There is a very comprehensive guide on here for it. I recommend you check it out and read through it pretty thoroughly before you even start the "maxing" process. You have to make a couple of choices, because as tote_all said, it's not technically possible to max every stat value. It's been a long time since I did my own run through this, but I think you can max Luck and it will be identical in function to maxing 2 of the other stats, which would then only need some minimum value like 40. But that's perhaps not necessary if you do the 9999HP route instead of the 99,999HP?

I dunno. It's fucking complicated. Use the guide, and generally don't worry about it until you reach the point where you're farming the spheres, which will be very very late-game. But I would strongly recommend you get a piece of paper and start making a checklist of all the +4 nodes you fill in. It'll save you a headache of having to count later to figure out exactly how many more you'll need to farm/place for each stat.

But that's not what she wants

But yet no one could actually get with her true self even if they wanted.

And you apparently missed mine.

Your picture ISN'T her "true self" because she doesn't want to walk around in public with her pussy on full display. Which is perfectly reasonable. So she uses her ability to cover it up when she's around others. Y'know, kind of like normal people do with clothes.

It is not your duty to "save" them. And you are not qualified to be trying to in the first place. You've referred them to people who are. Beyond that, it's up to them to take the steps they need to get better. If they choose not to, that's neither your fault, nor your business.

If you feel this person is negatively affecting you and your mental health, which it sounds like they are, then you also need to take the steps necessary to get better. And that probably involves cutting them off and moving on.

These are mostly just anecdotes in these articles, of course. But there have been more rigorous studies about lottery winners that I unfortunately can't find the links to anymore. If I remember correctly, it was around the $10 million mark where the scale tips past 50% chance for the winners of large sums of money to end up destitute, dead, or in prison within a few years. It's been a while since I read the study, though, so I might be a bit off on the numbers.

Still, the fact remains that winning a large lottery is more likely than not to make your life miserable, not better.

Right, but we can't assume that alien civilizations have that mentality. We don't even have that mentality when it comes to trying to contact alien civilizations.

But it is a possible mentality for a civilization to have. We equally can't assume alien civilizations won't have that mentality.

And even if only a small percentage of civilizations have that mentality, the only way to survive is to follow that approach. If there is even 1 hunter in the forest, the only way to guarantee survival is to remain undetected.

If you assume they don't, and you're wrong, then you're dead.
If you assume they do, and you're wrong, at least you're still alive.

"a small hunk of mass" would take hundreds if not thousands of years to get here so it would take an extreme amount of forethought and ungodly precision to attack us that way.

It would be much pretty to put a basic guidance computer and ion engine on a small unmanned drone and send it on its way. Once you've fired it, you don't really have to think about it much anymore. As far as accuracy goes, even with our current (and extremely primitive, by interstellar-civilization standards) technology, we already know that the second spacecraft we've ever sent beyond our solar system, Voyager 2, should get approximately 4 light-years away from the star Sirius in about 298,000 years.

Space is huge. But it's also almost completely empty. Which makes charting courses over long periods of time surprisingly easy once you've gotten outside the gravitational influences of your own busy solar system. There's very few things to disturb trajectories out there, after all.

Very true, space is fucking huge. But do you really think we'd have the ability to, as you way, use relativistic kill missles to take out our own old radio signals? I think that if intelligent life ever encounters us, it will start with finding those signals, and even if we learn to mask ourselves as some point in the future, those signals would be a dead give away.

No, of course we couldn't remove our already-sent signals. They're out there, and there's nothing we can do about it. At this point, our only hope is that either nobody notices them or the dark forest theory is wrong. The RKM doesn't have anything to do with the signals. They're for killing the planets/systems the signals are coming from. If somebody spots us and wants to shut us up, they just send a small hunk of mass in our direction, slowly accelerating the whole way. By the time it reaches us, it's going a significant fraction of light-speed. It'd be too small and dark for us to see it on approach, and when it hits Earth we're just gone. Simple, cheap, and should be relatively easy for a proper interstellar civilization. Pretty much zero defense against it, too.

Nobody noticing our signals is more likely than you might think, though. The further away they get from Earth, the weaker they are and the higher the signal-to-noise ration becomes. At some distance, it would become pretty much impossible to discern our radio signals from just random background noise.

The problem with this hypothesis is that we would have picked up the signature of intelligent life before they were able to mask their presence. Like, even if we got to the point of being able to mask our existence, aliens would still pick up our old radio signals. It's important to realize that when we're looking into the observable universe, we're technically looking back in time.

Technically true. But it's also very easily possible that the ones who broadcast get snuffed out fairly quickly (on cosmic time-scales, at least). It would be pretty easy to do that with relativistic kill missiles without ever revealing your own location. And the ones who developed in such a way as they realized the dark forest possibility before broadcasting would simply remain unknown to us.

Keep in mind that our own broadcasting has only been going for about 100 years. To put into perspective how far our own fingerprint has traveled into the void:
https://imgur.com/IyVzItt

It's extremely easy to believe even if there are hundreds of civilizations just in our own galaxy broadcasting freely, we wouldn't have received any of their signals yet. Space is just SO. FUCKING. BIG.
