"I think therefore I am" huh? Interesting that we can still come back to that phrase all these millennia later. One of my favorite scifi book series is Troy Rising. In the series the mc is talking with an AI where the AI explains how knowledge works. It's something along the lines of "there are things we know, things we know we don't know and things we don't know we don't know." Now they added another one for the AI "things we know but can't know" meaning the AIs know they know something but aren't allowed to access that information. Anytime I get going on a thought exercise I'm always reminded of the first bit with the things we don't know we don't know. You can drive yourself mad trying to ponder that one, and yet isn't it such fun?

it already exists in all the coordinates it will ever exist in. This means if we're "traveling" in a perceived direction and we shine light behind us it can't ever be reflected back or vice versa if we do see a reflection is should have been perceivable in front of us before it was reflected. Just the mere fact that light's speed can't actually be measured one way disproves this. Of course this also means that because light's speed can be measured by it's reflection also disproves this. Is an interesting concept though. In fact it's been used in scifi before too. DS9 used it for the wormhole aliens. They perceived time not as linear but as a whole and decisions were made based on the outcomes achieved before the act was ever done.

The time thing is interesting but it fails the non-perception test. It's similar in concept to those that exclaim reality is purely what we perceive and not on it's own a fact. The easiest way I've come to describe it is with death. Specifically those that die from things that happen too quickly to for them to realize they are going to die. In those cases they don't perceive anything and they still die or turn into goo or dust. The same is similar with the all at once theory. If time and space are related so that a coordinate in time is the same as a space then there should be several things happening at once. Instead of actually moving in the form of waives or particles everything should be lines. This is close-ish to string theory but not really. Second would be that if you ever did actually travel to another coordinate since time and space are the same whatever existed there would always exist there without beginning or end. Thirdly light or a moving object can't actually move since

This is an example of satire, not to be confused with irony. This concludes today's grammar lesson.

Well that's only if you're actually doing your best and let's face it most of us don't do our best. However, if you do better than you did before, even if it's not your best, and you continue to do better that is also something to be proud of. Let's face it doing your best can be hard, taxing, and many times stressful. But doing better is less so. All it takes is one more situp, or saying no to that sugary treat you had yesterday, or smiling at one more person.

I love the fact that alternate universes are just as likely to not exist. This could very well be the only universe. There is literally no way to test the multiverse hypothesis, at least for now and maybe forever, so we can't actually say. Unlike Schrodinger's cat we have have no way to open the box. But I do like a good thought exercise and we've got some really nifty stories out of this one.

Yes, let's start asking what many associate with negative connotations just because others ask what many associate with positive connotations. Next we can start asking people, when it's noticeable, if they've gained more weight since we generally only ask people if they've lost weight.

Scissors and Xanax. The first because scissors will never not be handy to have when constructing your zombie proof home and Xanax to deal with the times when you have to come to grips with the fact you're in a zombie apocalypse.

The best part is they did this whole giant reveal thing at a castle where they had "superfans" watch the trailer. These "superfans" then did a question and answer bit where they couldn't seem to spot the simplest of things and could barely talk about LOTR. They even pulled some of them from Youtube after the backlash but other people put them back up.

Hey that only happened like %60 of the time. The rest you spent doing the fun hunting games and killing all kinds of animals to find out that you killed 7k lbs of meat but only have room for 20lbs.

They have recreated characters from LOTR arbitrarily to fit their story. The fact that they are completely wrong most of the time is because they want money. "We have the rights solely to The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King, the appendices, and The Hobbit. And that is it. We do not have the rights to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The History of Middle-earth, or any of those other books.” So they couldn't really use the real characters back stories or much of anything. So instead they created their own story added some LOTR characters to sell it to LOTR fans. https://boundingintocomics.com/2022/02/16/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-showrunners-admit-they-dont-have-the-rights-to-the-silmarillion-or-unfinished-tales/

Ah, but what kind of dance is it? Disco? The Tango? Swing? Or maybe break dancing, pop and lock, the waltz? Curious minds want to know.

Then there's the other side too. Using conspiracy nuts to discredit information that is actually true. It's really quite efficient. They spread bad information and discredit good information all at a one stop shop.

Good to know. I mean that was my first thought. "I'm feeling depressed so I should go to the chiropractor." Almost made a huge error there.

Catapult stance. Remove the weights and see what happens 4 comments
lucky11 · 2 years ago
As everyone can see this is horrible form. Arching your back like this makes it easier to bench because of which muscle groups get utilized more. We already have benches that do this, the decline bench press. When used correctly the decline bench provides a safer way to isolate your lower chest. Benching like this^^ is a great way to hurt yourself and give you a false sense of what weight you can actually bench.
