Oh no, it seems to predict everything perfectly.

You just have to accept that the known universe is actually a 5D holographic projection on a the inner curve of a 7D frisbee that is floats through an unbounded, dimensionless 11D space that can somehow also expand.

Edit: also that there are infinity solutions to every problem. So tidy and elegant ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.

Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental "truths" are exploding before our eyes and the "religion" of established physics has become inertial to real growth.

We still have people who will not accept that deep at it's core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn't expanding the way it has been previously thought.

Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can't currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy... that means it must be magic /s

String 'theory' is mental masturbation for mathematicians.

Hmm... nothing in our model or math makes sense... I know... let's just jam all the artifacts into a dimension that cannot be measured. Ahhh... look how elegant it is!

My personal experience:

I just took a look at my "Before & After" pictures that span May-Nov 2019. I lost 57Kg of fat and put on about 13Kg of muscle. It was interesting to look back at the slideshow just now!

Although it is difficult to distinguish the muscles growing vs. the fat shrinking, it looks to me like my increase in muscle mass started to be noticeable from around the 3 month point. By "noticeable" I mean that the "definition lines" started to be visible although major increase in mass isn't apparent.

The increase in mass looks like it started around the 4-5 month point, at which point I had progressed past the "do my best" beginner workouts, and had established the required strength, endurance and range of motion to take the next steps, so to speak.

So I first noticed my strength, endurance, range, and muscular definition increasing, and later noticed the size increase.

I would like to encourage you to keep at it, and don't chase results. Do what you're doing with the goal of being happier, having fewer health complications and pains, a little bit of vanity which is totally fine, and let the rest take care of itself.

One of the things that can be very defeating is to assume you will have reached an arbitrary goal by an arbitrary time-frame. Try to shift your perspective to realize that you're doing all the right things, perhaps there's some efficiency tweaks but that's another story. Keep going and don't measure your progress against anybody else but you!

(I want to acknowledge that my story is not normal. Nobody should ever lose 10Kg+ a month. I'm one of these a__holes that has to do 50% of what most people need to get the same results though and that's a blessing. I also have digestive and nutrient-absorption issues but I'm not sure how much that plays in.)

Yes I was advised in the removal notice that it had been removed by the Reddit Administrators so that they could keep Reddit "safe".

I guess their idea of "safe" isn't 4+ million users going into their privacy panel and turning off exploitative sub recommendations.

Idk though I'm just a humble bird lawyer.

I just would like to show something about Reddit. Below is a post I made about how Reddit was literally harassing and specifically targeting me, after I let slip in a comment one day that I was sober - I had previously never made such a comment because my sobriety journey was personal, and I never wanted to define myself or pigeonhole myself as a "recovering person".

I reported the recommended subs and ads to Reddit Admins multiple times and was told there was nothing they could do about it.

I posted a screenshot to DangerousDesign and it flew up to like 5K+ votes in like 30 minutes before admins removed it. I later reposted it to AssholeDesign where it nestled into 2K+ votes before shadow-vanishing.

Yes, Reddit and similar are definitely responsible for a lot of suffering and pain at the expense of humans in the pursuit of profit. After it blew up and front-paged, "magically" my home page didn't have booze related ads/subs/recs any more! What a totally mystery how that happened /s

The post in question, and a perfect "outing" of how Reddit continually tracks and tailors the User Experience specifically to exploit human frailty for their own gains.

Edit: Oh and the hilarious part that many people won't let go (when shown this) is that it says it's based on my activity in the Drunk reddit which I had never once been to, commented in, posted in, or was even aware of. So that just makes it worse.

I quit drinking years ago and I reported every (e alcohol) ad explaining that I am no longer their target market and the ads are literally dangerous to me. They were gone within a few weeks - haven't seen a booze ad in 5+ years.

AI told me 75C/170F is ideal for hot tub water temperature.

Sure no problem. Once I get used to that I'll work my way up to boiling peanut oil.

"If your username was a username, how username would username username?"

They're here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That can't even be denied at this point. There was a small window before the Reddit API fiasco and everybody showed up here to post the same rat-shit they gobble over there. I had a mini-freakout over a "If your username was a username, what would username username username username?" type question in AskLemmy or something. The moronitude feels inescapable.

 

I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

 

One chestnut from my history in lottery game development:

While our security staff was incredibly tight and did a generally good job, oftentimes levels of paranoia were off the charts.

Once they went around hot gluing shut all of the "unnecessary" USB ports in our PCs under the premise of mitigating data theft via thumb drive, while ignoring that we were all Internet-connected and VPNs are a thing, also that every machine had a RW optical drive.
