Does this not involve paradoxes, e.g. why isn't the whole sky as bright as the surface of a star?

The 'edge' you're talking about is the Cosmic Horizon. The further away you look, the more ancient the light, and if you look further than 13 and a bit billion light years, you're "looking" at a place where the light hasn't had a chance to reach us yet. It's still in transit. So it isn't an 'edge' to anyone other than us. As I understand it, the Universe is consistent with being (at least) a hypersphere; finite in extent but with no boundary - analogous to how the Earth's surface is finite but without a boundary.

Perhaps a more pertinent question is, why are you such a spineless string of piss? ;)

I'm Brian and so's my wife.

These fucking retards don't even realise they can't buy shit on Amazon without encryption. They're that fucking stupid. Let's see Australia ban HTTPS and watch hilarity ensue ;)

This is where you jump the shark. I guess vaccines make people sick as well, huh?

They only become 'his' tax dollars when he's using himself. Kick ass.

Wouldn't he have to be *incredibly* stupid to mess with the avionics on a flight that he is actually on, for myriad reasons, not least of which his own continued breathing on this planet? For me, it doesn't pass the sniff test that this is something he would do.

If he tried this on a real plane (which doesn't look to be the case) then I imagine he'll go down. In other instances, I think it would be hard for them to argue malice on his part.

Keep the standards where they are, and if no women make the grade, no women make the grade. There. Did that hurt your head?

Progressive societies let people wear whatever gender label they like, whilst still knowing that there is a differing underlying biological reality. No-one with a functioning brain thinks they're exactly the same as natural-born females in every respect. In part, it's about not being a dickhead about it, perhaps that's what you have difficulty with.

The tone of his post is perfectly calm. I think you've failed in your attempt to cast him as irrational/furious.

Mad Max forks Debian in the 3rd act.

If their goal is to come across as incredibly pathetic, they are succeeding mightily.

Despite what Oscar Wilde might have said, publicity that predominantly ridicules isn't something I'd be that proud of.
