Still violates the laws of physics

You and I are in two conventional spaceships traveling at 0.86c relative to each other. In my reference frame, you are traveling through time at half the rate I am. This is due to time dilation, not speed of light delay. After I experience one year on my ship, you will have experienced 6 months on your ship. In your reference frame, the opposite is true. After you experience one year on your ship, I will have experienced 6 months on my ship. This violates no laws of physics, because even though there is no universal “present,” the limited speed of light ensures that causality is maintained.

Both of our ships have away shuttles with Alcubierre drives. These away shuttles can move arbitrarily fast, far in excess of the speed of light, without ever leaving their parent ship’s reference frame.

After 60 years, my ship has a cyclospirosis outbreak because someone didn’t wash their hands. The last pilot not suffering from explosive diarrhea hops in our away ship and instantaneously warps some distance in front of your ship (reminder: in my reference frame, you have only aged 30 years). He sends you a message explaining the situation. This message reaches you after you’ve only aged 30 years.

Swapping to your reference frame now. Causality must be preserved, so since you received that message after 30 years in my reference frame, you must receive that message after 30 years in your own. But in your reference frame, after 30 years of passed, my clock is only at 15 years. You decide to send your own away shuttle to warn us about this future outbreak. Your away shuttle arrives arbitrarily fast, sending us a message about a future cyclospirosis outbreak that arrives 45 years before that outbreak happens.

You can dress your FTL technology in whatever sci-fi snake oil you want. If you can get information to a destination faster than a photon could, you can break causality.

Now THAT’S what I call a shitpost!

Nolan would strangle this person with a strip of 70mm film if he saw this poat

Socrates didn’t have access to modern science. This shit rots your brain.

I don’t recall any sexualization of minors in SEL… Can you point out a scene? I’m generally pretty strict about what goes on that list, and am always happy to prune it

Well nowadays there is “someone else” (for a given definition of “someone”) with a set of controls. Kids are being taught to drive in machines that literally drive themselves, and they need to learn that every decision that the self-driving computer makes ultimately falls on them as the driver. I think they were saying that this is a concept that needs to be taught, not a law that needs to be enacted.

That’s not to say that a manufacturer is blameless when a FSD car careens into the side of a building at 80 mph. Just that immediate legal responsibility for the movement of a vehicle generally falls on a driver.

I’m someone else! I actually keep a running list of shows that don’t include the typical anime turnoffs. No sexualization of minors, and no incest.

Bolded titles are my top recs. Series listed in chronological order of my seeing them:

Yeah, I get it. “Left on West, right on Maple, left on Julia, first parking lot after the stop sign” is a whole 16 words. Also, a smart watch looks bulky and dorky, but a 6 lbs pair of glasses looks stylish and sleek

Already too techy for the average nincompoop. Just get a laptop, an HDMI cord, and a wireless keyboard/mouse

It must be so scared :(

Did you click any of the blue text in that comment? I feel like their privacy policy is all the enlightenment you need. And what do you expect Strömberg to do, sell his half of the company and let it be entirely controlled by Berntsson? He can’t exactly kick Berntsson out

Why?

Because you don’t know anything about the infrastructure of their operation. It’s as yet impossible for them to track traffic through their servers.

and they will be forever and ever?

As long as it’s one guy making personal donations and not the company as a whole, yes

Technically they could be lying about their privacy policy, and technically it’s not impossible that they’ve colluded with the government to lie about police finding nothing in raids, and saying “well they will lie about it because they’re fascists” is myopic and stupid. Moreso than being fascist, they’re fanatical about privacy. Everything runs on RAM. They couldn’t track you if they wanted to

They speak of tencent

I will treat my 20 year old car with respect befitting any human, and I will hurl slurs directly at any clanker I see pretending to have feelings
