Reply to [Image] Two things you will never have to chase; true friends and true love. - Mandy Hale by Emotional_Composer34

I never found love, true or otherwise.

It's never going to happen.

I wanted someone be genuinely happy to see me. Nobody's genuinely happy to see me. And I lost the best opportunity at independent wealth two years ago.

My life is shit and frankly, it's always been shit. I never understood how other people made it work but I never found out.

Reply to [OC] Building permits (in housing units) per capita, by state (fix) by born_in_cyberspace

Mind you, this happens in a vast country that has more than enough room to build a home for every individual citizen and it wouldn't even look crammed.

If every human on the planet got 100m^(2) of space, which is more than ample for anyone, with at most requiring two story buildings, the state of Texas alone would be enough to house all of humanity.

Refusing a building permit, in a state like Alaska is insanity.

>because that's data that someone can benefit off of.

So, I'll be providing that data to 'someone' gratis, free of charge, costs them nothing. Awesome.

Also, all your data is 'in the cloud'. One day there's 'an event' and POOF all my data are irretrievably gone and thank you for playing.

The Chinese are already being controlled by their app that the government can switch the pandemic condition off to 'orange' or 'red' and now they're 'quarantined' wherever they are so they can't move.

But sure, put my data beyond my control, I feel so much safer now. At least somebody other than myself could benefit from knowing when and where my face was at some time in the past.

Reply to A quantum computer has simulated a wormhole for the first time by Gari_305

Quantum theory started with Richard Feynman's paper 'There's plenty of room at the bottom', describing the quantum universe.

The idea of the wormhole was conceived by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. They described the 'Einstein-Rosen bridge', a curvature of space time that connects to points in space, lightyears apart.

>Cheap and disposable yes, then just build another.

They've built entire cities just for investment purposes that few if any people live in. Then there's the buildings they started building that were never finished and then demolished.

It is a humongous waste of resources and a blot on the landscape to have all that housing just standing there, without maintenance or upkeep, just falling apart.

This is not a smart way to build things. Their buildings do collapse. It's easy to say 'build another one', but you know: there were people in those buildings when the collapsed. Is that not something to worry about? That the standards are so lax and are ignored with impunity that you're going to live in a building that is going to collapse at some point and you may, or may not be in that building at the time?
