That was fascinating to read, thank you!

I'm more of an Emergent Time/Timeline Curve theory guy. The others are cool for sci-fi and stuff but I just can't conceive of that being how it works.
Closed Loop Theory seems like too cheeky of an explanation. It's basically a bait and switch. Like: "What if you did thing? But then DIDN'T do thing!" with the answer being "actually you did but just later". To be fair though isn't the theory really just saying the universe will correct itself somehow?
Also since you seem knowledgeable on this, something I've always wondered about: is their any theory centered around our frame of reference having a past but not a future? As in we're blazing the trail forward like an ice breaker ship for everyone else to follow? There's probably a million fundamental laws of the universe that makes that impossible.
Sorry, I'm not very smart, but I do kinda love this stuff.
I've read your message and the OPs like 5 times and I still have no idea what is being described... I might be stupid.
His future self showed his past self the lottery numbers through the open window
Got it. We're good so far.
but he closes the window, so his future self can't show them to his past self.
This is what I'm stuck on. So he didn't actually? I get the irony of saying a paradox doesn't make sense but I'm not even following the thought experiment. His future self opens a window and says "Hey, get some paper and a pen, I've got some winning lottery numbers for you!" and his past self goes "Oh boy!" and then immediately CLICK (closes the portal) before ever being shown the numbers.
Could it be restated to say he gets the numbers from his future self but then 30 years later just forgets to do the same thing for his past self?
I joined my local DSA chapter a few months ago and I'm so glad I did.
Nothing Conservatives say should be taken at face value. They have no consistency in their beliefs. When they engage with anyone else, their only goal is to sound right at that given moment. They will refuse to acknowledge any contradictions.
Because he's a fucking moron masquerading as an intellectual.

Mom told me she was sleeping
She lied! She lied!

100% of posts like this never fail to break my heart. It takes me back to the day I lost my girl. I'm so sorry for your loss. There's no feeling quite like this. I may not know you, but you aren't a stranger. They say grief is just love with nowhere to go. What helped me was remembering how lucky I was for all those years.
Ah, that makes sense. I was familiar with the "unalive" expression from YouTube and knowing how demonetization-happy they get. But I hadn't really considered other platforms doing similar things.
What the fuck is with this trend of censoring words, even non-swear words, in images? I'm seeing this all over the place lately.

I can't answer that question but I've always wondered why anyone switches to Brave. I installed it a few years ago because I heard it was privacy focused and it immediately hit me with a bunch of shit about crypto and rewards or something. I uninstalled it immediately.
