@user-238
if your life is lived at the behest of another, then is it truly your life at
all?
the whole point of life is to express your decisions and intentions onto the
world. when you can't do that, (because you're oppressed, depressed, or
distressed) then your life has no meaning. Fuck that.

@user-203 @user-243 oh you can! you just need to array your gates in a logical
fashion and flip all the 1's to 0's by bit shifting each register to the left
(or right!) 8 times.
You'll be good as new! But you may have forgotten how to english, so... yeah,
but on the bright side you can rewatch Star Wars as if you were 6 years old or
whatever, so that's something. You'll have the taste of a 6 year old though so
you'll probably end up liking the sequels. >.>

@user-243 reproduction is inherent to life. Expansion is not, but reproduction
consumes resources and eventually you run out of the things you need in your
habitat and must expand.
BUT that's a very "strategy gamer" perspective, the truth is that you're not
wrong - a solution to the fermi paradox does not necessarily need to include
expansion because you a species could survive essentially indefinitely with a
single dyson sphere.
If expansion is unethical then why would the chosen solution include it?

If you want to learn to cook, start with a sandwich. Then spaghetti sauce from
a jar. Then sautee some vegetables and throw them on top of rice. Then go to
the store, read the back of a tasty-looking package, and make the recipe it
suggests.
Then you know how to cook. Don't bother with online recipes.
Also, more butter, more salt.

solar energy is vegan
you're not taking anything from the sun, just capturing it's natural
expulsions. It's like... sun poop, and we're using it to post memes and hang
out.
okay food, emergency services, and... what else do we really need that consumes
power? Obviously entertainment, but frankly without internet we'd probably keep
to ourselves. I know I'd read a lot more books and chill out with my neighbors
and whatnot. is that why similar people tend to live together? then why are
cities so diverse? who can say...
I dream of an ordered society, but frankly the kind that are most fun are the
ones where a single person doesn't define their contents. Liberty, liberty, the
freedom to be, and by god all men are created equal. the things we owe to one
another are the things that bring order to a just and sane world. our future is
blooming : )

@user-249 just means you put more points into intelligence than perception at

different people are good at different things, some are just really good at
feeling their spiritual environment. Also lots of people report transcendental
religious awakenings after doing psychedelics? Might be related, should look
into. I mean... didn't the CIA do experiments in the 70s or whatever on LSD?

remember why I was so upset about that whole "dysphoria" thing. Like looking
back it seems like a minor annoyance, but when I first came out it was all I
could think about. Don't be jealous - just wait! It'll happen to you! Celebrate
the euphoria, I also can't really remember that too well. I'm just normal now,
minus my weekly shot.
