I can only hope it was with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I am trying to focus on posting source documents, as opposed to someone else’s reporting on source documents.

Because you clearly do not know what that term means.
Gaia is such a slut.
“I don’t want extra attention from the IRS, let me send them a letter that will surely cause them to pay less attention to me!”
This is especially true if a simulated universe is indistinguishable from base reality - so perfect in all its aspects that it is identical.
You can also get into the fact that we do not and can not objectively experience reality, simulated or not. Our experience and perception is based on the senses we have, which are inaccurate, and the brain that interprets the inputs, which makes shit up and is wrong all the time. Yes, we can use tools and measurements to enhance our perception and make it more accurate as far as understanding is concerned, but we actually each live in a universe manufactured by our own mind.
I don’t find the distinction particularly useful. We seek to understand more accurately how our universe works, with disregard to whether it is direct reality or simulated reality. The increased accuracy that we discover may result in our knowing whether we are in a simulation, or it may not.
Either way, something is base reality, whether it is our universe as we observe and experience it, or some number of simulated levels “below” it. Our own state as simulated or real doesn’t change that. There is isness.
You know, I’m perfectly okay with asking questions about what things in a contract mean.
Asking stupid questions in order to try and avoid actually paying for a car is a whole other thing.
Bring a second bike along with you, and lock it with a $10 combination lock chain.
Huh, kbin.social ate it then.
Edit: I’m seeing it there as “deleted by creator.”
I mean, it was a Black Lives Mystery march.
The protests, one of several in recent years meant to “protect” the National Electoral Institute (INE), come after Lopez Obrador sent a sweeping package of constitutional reforms to Congress, which would include an overhaul of the INE.
Yeah, they really should.
Edit: This was initially a response to someone else’s comment calling my “medial [sic] literacy” into question. That comment appears to have been deleted, and I’m not sure why this response became a top-level comment, but I’m leaving it.
Why the scare quotes? Seems like they’re turning out to actually protect the INE and democracy.
Law enforcement uniforms in a secular nation should not bear religious symbols.
I have to wonder if you said the same things about Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP.
Who’s not interested in whose opinion now?
That you’ve employed a slippery slope analogy far too widely?
I have also hired exterminators and taken antibiotics.
You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)
Having to choose between my child and my dog would be a horrible choice to have to make, but I know exactly how I would make it.
Home Depot, many many years ago (20+), used to hire people who were experts to work departments. Best Buy used to have concierge experts to help you with phone, camera, electronics purchases. I really wish that stores would do that again. The only differences between stores that sell the same items now are price and availability. Actually focusing on service would easily set a store apart.
