i keep remembering that i’d like to take some again, but i just don’t feel ready for it these days.

now i can upvote it :)

i got a tan for the first time in my life (at least that i can remember). it was the first spring not mostly spent in front of computer screens. :)

I think that if i was driving by there i could only read “I smoked” and that’s it.

it’s the world i’d rather live in

i grew up in a small austrian town but it didn’t really have much nature besides 3 trees standing next to our house (that i used to climb btw, was fun).

now i live in vienna and i spent like 10 hours last week exploring the river bank of a small river around here, it’s beautiful. so much better. i realize that this is because of many factors, but one of them is that a flat empty piece of land can just be so absolutely mind-bogglingly boring and generic that nobody even bothers to try to make something beautiful out of it. at least that’s my take.

Oh and vienna was built between the mountains on one side and a large river on the other side, and i am starting to think that that does make a difference. I’ve yet to put it to proper words, though.

No, i know mine wasn’t. I think future generations will have it better.

i made this into a post

fuuuuuuuuck

infinity not actually existing gotta be the funniest of them all

that’s because neurotypicals don’t actually care about logic and data, they only care about your seeming proud and self-confident because that makes you appear as a might-be feudal lord in their eyes and they love that shit.

i don’t see it that way, my views have changed significantly because of the discussions i’ve had (mostly online)

this could be because they understand “democracy” completely differently, though honestly it’s probably just a cover for “our way of life” or “our interests”

like when the US goes to the middle east to spread “democracy”, they’re not actually spreading a better quality of life for the people, just violence and bloodshed. could be that your acquaintance meant it in that way.

did you ask him why he thinks that the bible is true?

yeah you’re not gonna convince people who have the violence and bloodshed running through their veins; where would you even start to discuss that?

i think international law should be based on some principles that are easy to see for everybody, the whole russia situation is all fucked up and it’s largely because people in russia often have such a bad quality of life that it turns into “seeking an external enemy to blame it on” which then leads to invasion.

i feel like this is talking about me.

however it’s not bullshit, it’s often just another point of view, and people should get more exposed to that. it’s not as if i’m being mean or obtuse either. people downvote me because it doesn’t (yet) fit their world model

is there some pic missing to this post?

first result (https://www.discovermagazine.com/why-1-second-is-1-second-227) does not explain it

nope does not seem like i can find it easily and quickly. so, what is the reason?

i mean that if you have an infinite space, the total useable energy does not converge to zero even though it does in every small region of that space. local convergence to zero does not imply global convergence to zero. if you took Analysis 1/2 in maths university, you know that.

ehh, “entropy always wins” is only valid in closed systems. the universe is not a closed system.
