  • One reason why that is probably not true is because there are less positrons but if it were true they should number the same as electrons, right?

    But if electrons are moving along the same “time direction” as we are and positrons are moving in the opposite “direction” then wouldn’t we expect there to be less protons? As we can’t measure the protons that already “passed” us? And we would measure more electrons as a some/many/all of the existing electrons are traveling alongside us?




  • So you could just use Email in these archaic programs called Thunderbird etc. If you really wanted to use gmail. You know, without adds, without the need for an ad blocker, without AI recommendations and at your leisure.

    But hey, you’d have to install something on your computer for that… how horrible.

    And who uses computers for work anyway, you can just write your essay on a tablet. (but there are also email apps on those)

    It’s a shittier way to work but hey it’s easier.




  • Every 20 year old is going to be a 90 year old someday (if they are lucky). Complaining about age is unnecessary, because all those young people you see running around and envy…

    You can be content in knowing they’ll pine after youth the same way in a few decades. You can feel smug in knowing that they too will despair in a midlife crisis and look in horror upon the wrinkles in the mirror. That they too will feel the fathomless sadness of knowing that all the things they dreamed about and never achieved will weigh them down deep into murky depth.

    That they too will live in the future as old people and not get to fully enjoy its marvels.

    You may rejoice, for you have already climbed that mountain. You stand on its peak or near enough, and soon you will jump off into everlasting oblivion…



  • Maybe it depends on culture? I feel I am pretty normal, I don’t take medication and I am content (though winning a few millions in the lottery would be nice). Most people I work with are perfectly normal too (and I work at a university in the psychology department, go figure… though maybe that’s the reason).

    The only one in my family who takes medication is my brother and he has epilepsy. None of my friends take any medication for mental health either or go to psychiatrists. Everyone of us is different but not everyone has some trauma in his past or mental health issues. This isn’t a crpg where every protagonists parents got killed by the big evil who was also their grandparent.

    I do recognize that mental health problems are far more prevalent than assumed by the general population in past times and that many people have traumas from events in their history.
