It's not all bad though!

Those were for voting, not candidacy, AFAIK. Not that candidicy would have been any more fair then...

Ah, I misread a wiki page. Not infinite, since we aren't traveling lightspeed, but approaching infinite as we approach lightspeed? Which is to say, not infinite but dang thats a lot of energy?

Again, I'm not great at understanding this stuff, so thanks for being patient

Yeesh I'm just not good at that kind of stuff. Time dialation is what is making this hard for me to wrap my head around, but basically the big issue with this method of travel is you need infinite energy (which might be something these ships somehow do) and its like fast forwarding into the future, so even if you go back immediately it will be like you were gone ~18 years but only experience less than 2.

It is certainly an interesting thing to think about, but sounds depressing in practice. If this is the practical way that some beings have traveled here, I feel like we are missing a piece of the puzzle for long distance space travel. Maybe they have a way to do something about time dilation. Or maybe they just don't ever die...

Hmm, thats hardly different from me. Guess it's not that lol

Some instances do not allow downvotes. I don't agree with your post but cannot downvote it.

I'm not complaining, I like no downvotes, downvotes are usually just a way for people to vent frustrations without articulating them.

But, you can't necessarily use votes to draw the conclusions you have.

Good thing I don't think that book matters, that was a close one, you almost got me.

Now excuse me while I go lay with a man

I see. That does change the tone I read it in when I know the intent.

Personally, I find infinite scrolling makes browsing on my phone with only one hand considerably easier.

What was your intention? Your comment seems like a direct value judgement, and you made no obvious effort to answer the question. Weren't you basically telling OP "you shouldn't want that"?

here are the only rules relevant lemmy.world I could find (from mastadon.world):

"Regarding Spam: We are not your free advertising platform. If you are here only to sell your products or services, you will be removed. Occasional posts of commercial links are OK, but when the vast majority of a user's posts are commercial in nature, we regard the account as a Spam account. Moderators will evaluate reports of Spam on a case by case basis."

so it seems just do it in a restrained way and don't let it be the majority of your content and it should be ok?

I spent a while looking for a "no ads" rule and then I figured it out.

Your home instance sh.itjust.works , where your account lives, has a rule of no ads. Lemmy.world, where this D&D community lives, does not appear to (yet) have a broad rule against advertisements.

I would still ask the mod before posting self promotion tho.

I'm just confused by what you are asking. Are you asking if this community is OK with you self promoting D&D related stuff you made and want to sell? If it were up to me, I would say yes within reason, no one wants this community to become one loud ad. But I'm not sure the moderator would agree and it is up to them. I don't see a no self-promotion rule yet but maybe message them directly?

If you just want to share content you found and generally participate like normal then I am absolutely sure you are wanted here.
