yeah I eat rear end posted:The "living in a simulation" thing always struck me as both nonsensical and arrogant (if you assume other humans designed it, or that we'll ever get to the point where we can). Even if we ever develop the technology to run such a complex simulation, I'd like to think we'd be smart enough to not run it like this. What would anyone hope to learn by simulating irrelevant details like me wasting my weekend watching lovely movies, or making a cup of coffee, or getting junk mail? If you really wanted to simulate human development/civilization, it seems far more likely they'd use approximations/fudge factors to avoid having to waste computation time on stuff that doesn't matter and/or would be too difficult, if not impossible, to represent mathematically. Maybe computation is cheaper in their universe than in our simulated one. Maybe they did dumb down the simulation and this is the result. You may as well be a character in Dwarf Fortress wondering why it’s necessary for cats to die of alcohol poisoning.

Cost doesn't change the fact that simulations are generally run to learn something specific. You don't just throw literally everything you know into it and set it running and see what happens. Generally the more complex a simulation is, the more difficult it is to draw a definitive scientific conclusion from it. I think the whole idea of simulation theory arose from people who don't want to take responsibility for any of their thoughts or actions, and want to coast through life thinking they're a main character in someone's video game. If that is the case, the guy playing me sucks and should uninstall.

Like whether or not there's free will, whether we live in a simulation or not is a question for stoned people to ask each other. It doesn't really matter either way

I never thought it was humans running the simulation, but rather some unimaginable alien entity. In fact it's likely that the universe has already gone through heat death and all that is left is quantum computers floating in endless nothing. Where do they get their juice? I dunno ask a scientist or something.

It's odd that Israel uses "Does Israel have a right to exist?" as a gotcha question against their critics when Israel's own actions present a pretty strong argument that it doesn't.

Pickles should be served on the side by default, never in the sandwich, because their flavor is so overwhelming that you can’t make the rest of the sandwich not taste like pickles

Leave some of that juice but without the cumbersome pickle itself.

I wish we more regularly pickled things that weren’t cucumbers in American cuisine. I loved pickled everything except cucumbers which are just about the only food I’ve found that I simply hate.

Also a shitton of jalapeños but those are kind of their own thing rather than being considered a form of pickling.

We cannot conceive of ourselves outside the contexts which we exist within. This is unfortunate and I wish we were better able to grasp the idea of ourselves outside of our contexts. Less pickles in general is good.

I make pickled vegetables (it’s super easy) and also buy sauerkraut and like giardiniera (sp?) Or hot peppers and it’s all good. I just wish more places had like pickled onions instead of cucumbers for their vinegar hit on burgers and sandwiches.

yeah I eat rear end posted:yeah but you may notice that they didn't bother putting things in like needing to dust, or how wearing a hat messes up your hair. Because it would be a waste of time to and nobody cares about it. I'm extremely confidant that will be in a future version of the sims if we as a species last that long. yeah I eat rear end posted:I think the whole idea of simulation theory arose from people who don't want to take responsibility for any of their thoughts or actions, and want to coast through life thinking they're a main character in someone's video game.

Only done one comedy sixer after someone accused me of being Moby, though I’m hoping some kind of fun chance for a bunch of them rolls around.

Burgers that are red on the inside, or are thick, or include a lot of condiments and toppings are the least good kind of burger. Extremely flat burgers that are charred, browned on the inside, and covered with a slice of american cheese and fried onions are the best kind of burger. It is best eaten while drinking a Hamm's, or possibly a Pacifico. I guess you could put sambal on it that would be pretty good too

also that things don't come squirting out the back when you take the first bite. The toppings that touch the actual burger need to have some friction otherwise eating the burger is a miserable experience of picking stuff up off the plate with your fingers and putting it back in.
