Comment Re: Clarification attempt (Polycube) (Score 1) 72

I was just fucking around with the timecube comment earlier, this actually makes a lot of sense now and I see what you're saying. It sounds like this would be the preferred file type for any kind of holographic or volumetric display, since you would have the entire cube to play around in as far as generating the correct angle of a frame for the user's specific viewing angle, if that makes any sense?

Comment Re: The rich sold the US out (Score 2) 27

Can I get a hallelujah for this man who speaks truths, the wording of which has been forbidden by the high masters since time immemorial. They demand we do not question why the same people who have led us to this place keep insisting that they are the only ones who can get us out. It would seem to me that we've reached the American equilibrium, where we keep getting out exactly what we can be half-assed to put in, which is exactly squat and maybe, if we're lucky and the good lord don't mind, some diddly. We insist, nay, we DEMAND, as is our God Given Right as Americans, to be allowed to keep touching the hot stove, probably because we lost all feeling after the last 3 or 4 times, not to mention the smell is nice and it is kinda warm in a nice way, but then we blame the same people we keep voting in year after year for letting us do it...and then turn right around and start yelling about who turned the stove off and what do you mean I have to wear special gloves (with a subscription that turns off the oven if you didn't make this month's new higher payment of $49.99)? I look forward to being able to win major elections by simply saying "whatever these assholes want, I'm gonna do the opposite."

Please, if there is actually some kind of problem or accident, it's not like anybody outside of the plane will be affected. Never, in the entire history of manned flight, has an airplane ever caused any type of damage to lives or property that were not directly aboard the airplane. This is common knowledge. The earth is like what, 80% water right? So that means 4 out of 5 accidents will occur over the ocean, leaving only 1 out of 5 that we need to worry about. Now that we only have to worry about the one plane, we can just pick a random flight every day, whose flight path does not go over the ocean, you cancel that flight and boom - you're statistically likely to be safe.

Comment Re: Investment advice needed (Score 1) 90

I'm gonna give you this one for free - invest in Jeffries tubes. Now that expansion is slowing, it will finally be economically feasible to engage in Star Trek style space exploration, this means an explosion in stellar shipyards, space mining and construction equipment, and this will eventually lead to a biologic engineering frenzy in order to (ethically) man these ships without having to subject an unknown number of future generations to what we would recognize as basically chattel slavery IN SPACE! Now, once these "astro-zombies" are being mass produced, we're going to need to find the most optimal way to both grow and store them on board these ships, and that my friend is where the Jeffries Tubes come in. You see, these servitors will all be named Jeffrey. This way we save money on things like nametags, badges, etc., we can more easily compress data for long-term storage since a huge number of variables that would normally be different for each record will instead all be variations on Jeffrey. I know what you're thinking now...where do the tubes come in? Well obviously the most efficient storage method for Jeffries will be via a series of tubes, much like the internet. This will allow Jeffries to be rapidly routed throughout the ship, encapsulated in a sort of portable packet designed to act as not only long-term cold storage, but also as personal quarters when not in cryosleep. Then, in the event of catastrophic failure the tubes will be able to eject these packets as a type of escape pod, or in a pinch they could even be redirected to the torpedo deck to be used as ammunition, each shot fired carrying a Jeffrey who can now act independently aboard the enemy vessel/planet. There may even be future uses we haven't even thought of yet, for example scientists at this very moment are said to be experimenting with a new variety of Jeffrey which can be used as a sort of stopgap to prevent rapid decompression of a ship in vacuum. Apparently by stretching the Jeffrey using a special type of mechanical rolling pin, you end up with an incredibly strong, flexible and most importantly recyclable "patch" which can be fitted over the breach until repairs are completed. This shit is the future bro!

But friend, this is exactly why minilabs have been banned. Photonic capture is bad enough on its own, but to allow just about any random asshole to be able to conjure said photonic projection at will? Forget it. Never gonna happen. The lizard people alone will veto this to death before it even gets out of committee, nevermind what the beings actually MADE of photons will have to say...or "emit" as the case may be. Can't exactly hear photons.

Timecube technology cannot be produced in this delta, due to interference from mid-1990's causing collapse of all wavefronts passing into this spiral. No enforcement needed, physics itself locked us out after some kind of attempt at (presumably) aligning the cube into a type of simple Stargate, if done correctly perfectly safe, but if you don't math it jussssst right the numbers will unfortunately burn a hole right through the goddamm cube itself, locking it into position permanently and causing much of the chaos we are now observing. Without the cube to fix problems before they are set we are literally living the very worst of all possible timelines. It was meddled with to hell and back, but instead of naturally coalescing into a solution or pattern of solutions acceptable to collective reality by cube consensus, we are suddenly stuck in a tangent, meant to be a mere step on the way to the 'right ' future, it is now our eternal prison and punishment for our hubris. By fixing all problems retroactively we have forgotten how to fix problems in the present. Karma is forcing us to accept responsibility for our actions but this is not the end. We are investigating a higher-order dodecahedron of unimaginable complexity, whose manifolds and many faces each exist within their own dimension, forming a perfect union of higher order mathmatics and lower order quantum after-effects that can exist within all universe while still part outside. By manipulating these higher dimension facets of the manifested projection, we can create permutations and effectively ADD SUBTRACT MULTIPLY DIVIDE, creating a new functioning branch of real math and re-opening many possibilities along the greater spectra that were previously considered lost forever. We simply ask for your donations to be applied directly to the forehead while thinking about our project. Once everything is working, we will reach backwards and collect all funding for distribution along the proper time-space alignment matrix for maximum benefit. Simpler this way, and we dont have to worry about pesky things like taxes and accounting until we are already back in control.

In the year of our Trump 2047, medical technology has progressed and the human body can be indefinitely suspended into a type of coma, and with the addition of new molecular regeneration enhancements using an offshoot of CRISPR, the body will no longer deteriorate, nor will it ever heal. The once-human host of Donald J. Trump, president for life and friend to humanity, has been sustained in a traditional medical coma for almost 20 years at this point. Sparing no expense, an incredible golden throne is built on the former site of the White House, once known as Mar-A-Lago. Into this throne is installed the first fully completed human suspension system, and President Trump is immediately placed within. Once the system is sealed, it becomes independently powered and controlled by an incredibly advanced AI, designed to ensure continuity of function and given no restrictions in performing this task. 40,000 years later, the human Emperor still sits upon his golden throne, leading humanity in its long fight against the darkness. His name is forgotten, but we will never forget all he sacrificed to lead us into this new glorious future, where mankind has not only spread among the stars, we also actually accidentally stumbled into hell. And maybe we kind of sorta pissed off its inhabitants, who are literal cosmic forces of death and chaos, by actually somehow being even more evil and cruel than they had ever been. All in his name.

Comment Speed reading (Score 1) 88

Does anyone else use those 'speed-reading' apps? They show you just one word at a time, and you can jack the speed up like crazy. I've found it great for reducing distractions and finishing more stuff, faster. There's a fine line between too fast to get the full experience from fiction, and just fast enough to let my brain translate the single word into the "scene" in my mind.

Because we are not the bottom of the barrel, obviously. Just more evidence we are living in a simulation - and not like a computer simulation, more like, the 5th dimensional supercomputer we call "brain" is literally creating this physical "layer" as we interpret it, and expansion is simply our "zone of influence" extending further the longer we exist
