The whole simulation theory stems from observations about how fast technology is advancing as a whole, and kind of plays hand in hand with the fermi paradox. Either we are a special advanced civilisation that will continue to advance until we could in theory simulate an entire species/planet/civilisation or whatever or we are doomed to die out before we can advance enough to achieve either that goal or potentially other goals such as building replicating space exploration technology that might be capable of exploring/consuming/adulterating part of the galaxy or even the galaxy as a whole.

Both theories are basically an extrapolation of our current technological progression with some large assumptions made about the way things in this universe operate as a whole. I don't think they are particularly far fetched, but I also don't really see much evidence to support either being a possibility, except maybe the whole we are fucking up our ecosystem and heading towards some type of collapse before we get too advanced parts of the fermi paradox.

Another theory that I've heard which is really just a statistics thing is that it's most likely that we are an average civilisation that lasts an average amount of time in an average part of the galaxy and that it's likely we are right about in the middle of the total number of humans that has or will ever exist (about 100 billion came before us, probably another 100 billion to go) which could be a couple centuries or millenia left of human reign over planet Earth.

All being said, it's pretty likely that since the future hasn't happened yet we just won't know how it all turns out until it does. We're all just as uncertain as anybody else, and whoever preaches the gospel of kingdom come is just as ignorant as you and I.

I drive a lifted RAM and in the last twelve months three people have hit me. Two were in Subarus. One was drunk.

As a designer who works closely with my boss, it actually works like this:

He does meetings 8 hours a day, 2hrs talking to me

I do site visits, design, meetings, solving problems, and 2 hrs a day of picking his brain so I can fit all of my shit into 10 hrs a day.

Yeah but we just got 8" of rain and 70 mph winds during a freak December storm that took out half our power grid, how will Amazon-Clause find my house?!? 80 degrees warmer than it should be here and our snowman holding up the mail box melted!!!

There are very few games from large companies that don't tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.

I got my October bill due on the ninth. It's dated the 14th.

Now they want $2600 for two payments at once and it's like an extra $400 in interest. Funny how that works.

There is also a rebate clause in the paperwork where if you don't miss a payment by more than 6 days the first twelve months you get a rebate.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Well by that logic we either let them win or let them try and take it, at least by not letting them win there is a clear and moral resolution to the problem. Let them cry, and in jail for sedition if they feel angry enough about it.

Those were his eyebrows TBH

Wow these Aflac commercials are getting real woke

I read this as director. I was immensely confused as I read further

I design labs and to be honest it ends up being kinda a mix of both unless we're talking some major FAB
