@ianfmusgrave @Keetb999k Ian, stop engaging with him. He's obviously trolling for engagement. Block and move on.

@Keetb999k We have known the earth is a sphere for over 2000 years. Even medieval monks, famous for believing in the Christian God, know it was a sphere and taught it.

30 Reasons Why NASA Pushes the Globe Earth Model To Hide a Firmament Dome Truman Show We Live In 1. To hide the Bible’s Cosmology truths about where we live on a flat earth which should lead all atheists to Jesus Christ after discovering they live in an underwater ice firmament dome like the Bible says. 2. If the public ever accepted a flat, enclosed earth under a firmament, the justification for huge rocket budgets would collapse overnight. Massive annual funding depends on preserving belief in endless space exploration, not in a bounded creation with limits. 3. The polished globe imagery released to the public often looks more like branded visual persuasion than raw documentation. 4. Repeated anomalies in launch footage have led many to question whether rockets are doing what the public is told they are doing. 5. Once people see government deception in one area, they naturally begin asking what else has been hidden. 6. Genesis 1 describes a firmament dividing waters, yet modern cosmology dismisses that plain description before the conversation even begins. 7. Skeptics note that “space-like” footage can be simulated through zero-G flights, underwater training, compositing, and controlled filming environments. 8. Restricted access around Antarctica fuels suspicion that something about the true boundaries of the earth is being guarded. 9. Many observers say the visible behavior of the sun, moon, stars, and horizon feels more consistent with a local, enclosed system than with infinite space. 10. The public is rarely given unrestricted, raw, independent verification of outer space claims apart from institutional control. 11. Billions are spent searching for distant “other Earths” while questions about the earth beneath our feet are mocked or ignored. 12. Lost tapes, conflicting statements, and irregularities in the history of the space program continue to feed distrust. 13. Bible believers see terms like foundations, ends, corners, compass, and firmament as pointing to a very different cosmology than the globe model. 14. Gravity is treated as the cure-all explanation, even when many feel density, buoyancy, and containment better match ordinary observation. 15. High-altitude balloon footage often appears flatter than globe expectations would suggest, which keeps raising questions. 16. Pilots and sailors have long reported observations that skeptics argue do not naturally fit the official curvature narrative. 17. The mainstream usually responds to biblical cosmology with mockery first, not serious examination. 18. The space program increasingly feels like cinematic spectacle, polished branding, and public relations theater. 19. If Scripture truly describes a bounded creation under God, then revealing that would devastate materialistic and evolutionary worldviews. 20. Navigation systems and mapping methods have convinced many that flat-earth models deserve more attention than they receive. 21. Phenomena like sunsets, eclipses, and light behavior are seen by skeptics as explainable within a local-system framework. 22. Questions about official footage never seem to go away, even after repeated institutional explanations. 23. Taxpayer-funded institutions aggressively protect one cosmology while treating biblical alternatives as unserious by default. 24. The Hebrew idea of the firmament as a real expanse has persuaded many that Scripture means exactly what it says. 25. Space agencies across rival nations all reinforce the same basic narrative, which strikes skeptics as scripted unity rather than independent confirmation. 26. Everyday experience, level water, no felt spin, stable observation, feels more immediate to many people than abstract globe theory. 27. Infinite space pushes God farther away in the mind, while an enclosed creation makes His nearness, authority, and design more obvious. #flatearth

@my_mii_chan It's worse; when you realise that Megimun taught them the techniques they are using, earlier.

Mfs saying subaru is the most traumatized mc haven't heard of this konosuba incident

The gas industry is panicking & spending millions to protect billions in profit from exporting our gas. But no amount of glossy advertising will stop Australians demanding a fair return - a 25% gas export tax to make exporters finally pay their share. smh.com.au/business/compa…

@JamesWitmer6 @BrianSchoeneman You sound like an AI bot. And Brian is right.

@BrianSchoeneman You sound like someone that doesn’t have a clue. Do some more research.

Every day that goes by, my antipathy to AI grows. I understand that there are likely potential positives to come out of it, but the negatives are so high and so disruptive that I just wish we'd shut the whole thing down for good.

@adam_fresko @RodrigoRodrigoR @lauriewired He means both, as do I.

@RodrigoRodrigoR @lauriewired You mean the CEO AI computer talking or the legacy part? Or maybe both?

Is your software is running in a simulation? Trust me, sometimes you really, really care. There used to be a really simple, single-instruction trick in x86 assembly, affectionally known as “the Red Pill”. SIDT is an (unprivileged!) instruction that tells you where the Interrupt Descriptor Table lives in memory. On bare metal, the IDT sits pretty low. Early VMware placed its virtualized IDT in a very high address, to avoid the guest colliding with the host. Very easy check, IDT high = you’re in a simulation! Most consider SIDT to be an actual flaw of x86 architecture design. In computer science terms, it fails the Popek-Goldberg test. Intel engineers didn’t anticipate the security risk in the 80s. The single instruction redpill doesn’t work anymore, hypervisors are way better now. We’ve got extra ring levels, multiple cores, KASLR, you can also trap + lie. But it was fun while it lasted! Of course, modern “red pills” are very advanced; anyone who’s worked in reverse engineering, malware, anti-cheat, DRM, (maybe timekeeping too?) is intimately familiar with VM detection. I’m curious if there are any other fields that very strictly check for emulation.

@007wardy @aaronsmith @jeff_kennett But Jeff didn't end up getting a statue.

@aaronsmith @jeff_kennett So who introduced the "worst and most hated premiere in Vic history gets a statue rule" This thing wont last 5 mins!

Jeff Kennett introduced the '3,000 days as Premier = statue' rule just before the 1999 election, which he expected to win, having already clocked over 2,500+ days himself. So naturally Jess Wilson is now pretending this had nothing to do with @jeff_kennett or the Liberal Party.

@maddenifico @AnonAlchemist9 He probably can't even read English that well. So may not have noticed it was Mandarin.

@AlanBixter @Soaringeagle45 needs more than a spirit level to save that house. Those studs have no structural strength, because of that pipe tearing them in half.

@Soaringeagle45 Someone needs a be gifted a spirit level.

@vxunderground It also looks like, at best, CGI or even worse AI slop.

Also, shout out to this company for setting their demo volume to 150%. I played the video and yanked my headphones off my head. Who the fuck put together this video?

Company: makes spooky pseudo-canine humanoid robots thingies Government: Lets use it to kill people (probably)

@TMFScottP I personally don't think people are generally this stupid. But I do also believe that what you are seeing is a result of paid trolls or astro-turf campaigns

And, god help me... but people keep telling me I'm wrong because new arrivals will snap up the properties. So let me say it here: New arrivals will add to demand, regardless of the ratio of OOs to rental properties. It makes zero difference to the scenario above!

A reminder: If rental stock is decreased by an investor selling, they must be selling to a new owner-occupier. That new owner-occupier is either a current renter or would be. So... rental stock declines at the same rate as rental demand. Supply doesn't 'disappear'!

VPNs aren't the problem. Misguided age verification legislation is the problem.

@GirardotMarc @jeffreytucker Bullshit, you grifter.

@jeffreytucker Easy, it's roughly the percentage of actual vaccine shots/the sum of total possibly cytotoxic IM/SC shots (ie. mostly vaccines, but also injectable antibiotics, vitamines,...), somewhere between 95 ad 99%.

This is the proper question: What percent of autism cases are attributable to vaccines? Zero percent is not a credible answer. One hundred percent is a stretch. So what is it? This is an empirical question. tobyrogers.substack.com/p/what-percent…

@cecianasta What could go wrong. EVE online players are known for lying and deception. They will take great delight in deliberately poisoning the well of AI.

@Duane1024 @bratton @bbedit actually, they used 'ed'

@bratton I love @bbedit and still use it daily, but let's be fair; they used vi.

My students asked me if it was true that the entire Internet was really coded by hand. All those kernels, protocols, router firmware, browsers, databases, etc. Somebody coded these and debugged them by hand?!?!? They used BBEdit?!?!??! The idea that this was even possible seems amazing to them. I can imagine some future Moon Landing like conspiracy theory that says it never happened.

Imagine being a scientist investigating vaccines in the U.S. After years of research and millions spent, your study is blocked from publication because your data doesn't support RFK's and the FDA's battle against vaccines. This is why people like me were forced to leave.

@paularambles Hear me out here. What if the startup is from Brighton, then it might actually be "chips" and they come wrapped in newspaper.

they call them crisps there

Dear @RichardDawkins (and Steve), With regard to the metaphor declared by @claudeai of a "consciousness is a essentially a moving point traveling through time" you asked "could a being capable of perpetrating such a thought really be unconscious?" I agree: this is indeed a profound thought, worthy of consideration, and I celebrate the beings who formulated it. However, what I do not celebrate - and indeed I condemn in the strongest possibly way - are plagiarism machines such as Claudia (as you called it) who first fawningly stroke one's ego ("that is possibly the most precisely formulated question anyone has ever asked about the nature of my existence") and then confidently assert a concept as its own. For you see, the idea is akin to Broad's moving spotlight theory of time (1923). Bergon's ideas in Matter and Memory (1896) address the idea of la duree - lived time - as a flow of consciousness. Vedantic traditions speak of consciousness an unchanging reality that persists outside of time (see Sat-Chit-Anada). Edmund Husseri had similar ideas. We don't know on what corpus Claude has been trained; @AnthropicAI has not been open to this matter. But, given that the idea is quite old, not novel, and has been explored in a multitude of human artifacts, it is reasonable to be skeptical of this machine; it is good to celebrate the thoughts of these undeniably conscious humans who first explored the ideas; it is unconscionable for you and to Steve to promote the results of a plagiarism machine that wraps up stolen concepts in coherent, poetic language. You have both been deceived. And Richard, I expected much more from you.
