Prickly City by Scott Stantis for July 05, 2021

If it’s a simulation, it’d need to be run on a Linux server to be running this long.

If it’s a simulation, it’s being run by sadists. Physical pain and suffering?

Mac? PC? Whatever it is, this is the screen saver. Frolicking Colorforms.

What about Firefox?

“What if we’re just a bunch of standardized poses being copied and pasted over and over?”

If this were a simulation, we’d have been programmed never to suspect it’s a simulation.

If life is a computer simulation, why would we expect it to run on personal computer hardware that we are familiar with? A computer powerful enough to run such a matrix would need to be much bigger and better than our current personal computers – both the hardware and its software would have to be built by somebody or something much more advanced than we are…

One of the things that occasionally keeps me up at night is thinking about the idea of “nothing”. Whether you believe in God or Big Bang or something else, what was there BEFORE creation? Then there is what happens after death – nothing, reincarnation (human or otherwise), heaven or hell or?

No human made computer could make this so you are thinking too small.

Get real and stop voting for republicans who make everything in reality worse.

Mac or PC? If you want to get nerds riled up, what you really want to ask is “Emacs or Vi”.
