Galatians4_16 commented on Can rotation solve the Hubble Puzzle?   academic.oup.com/mnras/ar... · Posted by u/toss1

Rotation implies a great many observables and properties of the universe. There would be a cosmic axis, which implies a cosmic center and a cosmic north. Both concepts that are problematic in an infinite universe. If the universe is in fact inside of a black hole of a different universe - some of these problems go away as the Hubble volume would be the finite boundary of the universe.

The observation could also be due to an area of relatively high density inside an area of relatively no density.

What about just looking for oxygen in a planet's atmosphere?
Galatians4_16 · a year ago
Plenty of abiotic oxygen sources, even on Earth.

You can ask the Wallstreet Apes for a detailed explanation, but it's a combination of corrupted government real estate acquisition, development, a pinch of nepotism to change ownership, and a lot of money laundering.

These days, about the only liquid you can consume without controversy is water.

Some say coffee is good for you (in moderation), some say it's bad for you.

Some say certain alcoholic drinks are good for you (in moderation), some say no amount of alcohol is good.

Some say some artificial sweeteners have benefits, some say all of them are toxic.

Some think fruit juices are good for you, because fruit. Some (most) say they're bad for you.

Some say fruit smoothies are good for you, because the fiber content outweighs the downside of fructose/natural sugars. But some say all fruit sugar is bad for you.

The only thing that we seem to agree on, is that any sort of beverage containing sucrose is bad for you. But maybe I missed some thread where sucrose in moderation actually has health benefits.

I guess I'll stick to drinking water. But I'm sure there's a reason why that's bad for me.

Tapwater, or artesian well water?

Magnitically left-spun water, or ionically charged crystal-dipped water?

Hermetically sealed water, or Gnostically gestated water?

Distilled or deionated?

Choose wisely.

Crushing unions is partly to blame here. I've got relatives whose families have been working in the mining industry for a few generations. They all lament the good old days that are long gone now.

As in sit, watch TV and drink beer?
Galatians4_16 · a year ago
I'd be more in favour of parcour/shoot a tv/run away, then celebrate with beer after.

I feel bad for him and you all.

But personally when I look the US' history of military interventions then I sadly have to conclude he was made to believe he did it for "our freedom". A good facade for a dirty business. In fact he did it for corporate and Israel's interests. And probably he personally did it for the money and "cool job status" too.

The Canadian Armed Forces, and he always supported a free Palestine. But your point still stands.

I think free speech is something to protect for humans, not for companies.

I can say "you should get the vaccine!" Companies that want to say these kinds of things have rules to abide by: and thanks fully so.

I'm much for free speech, but more in the sense that we should be able to discuss policy/politics/critique/bitch/bash/religions/etc. Not so we can make terror plans, defame, harass, bully and share child porn.

Not sure what happened to your cousin... But I'm curious now. Care to share?

The recent past should tell you that a lot of what some would call legitimate critique/bitch/bash etc. others would call harass/bully/violence –to also include not speaking about it at all.

So in the interest of consistency, and publicity, I'd prefer to let the bigots of the world speak, and out themselves as bigots, so that we may then publicly speak and make fun of them for being bigots. The same goes for corporations.
