One possible explanation for the Fermi paradox is that the universe we live in is a simulation, and distant stars or distant galaxies do not actually exist in the simulation. The entities running the simulation may have created a universe with a limited map in order to save computational resources. This would be similar to an open-world computer game where when you get to the edge of the map, you will run into a barrier that cannot be crossed, e.g. an endless ocean or mountains that cannot be climbed. When you are at the edge of the map, you will still see something at the horizon but the territory at the horizon cannot be reached because it is outside the map of the game.

People who refuse to get vaccinated increase the spread of COVID and thereby make it more likely for someone who is vaccinated to still catch COVID

Where's this quote from? I tried googling but nothing comes up

Yes, I think stealing people's money and then quickly disappearing was his plan. And it's pretty stupid anyway but that's what he did

It happened in the BoC fans community. Some guy called Jason Dowd ripped some artists off and sold the music pretending it was his own. Here is a Twoism thread about it: https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13672

I think Claudius t Anuuslim posted in a wrong thread by mistake. Mods, can you move his post to the flat earth thread?

I think being boastful is quite a harmless character flaw compared to other kinds of character flaws. Most people have some kind of a character flaw, so if that's her worst trait, that's not that bad at all

Music theory doesn't really say that all your notes have to be on the same scale. Theory tutorials for beginners might say something like that but that's just oversimplification of theory that's done with the aim of making it easier to digest. Music theory has concepts e.g. passing notes, chromatic harmony, borrowed chords and modulations for describing the off notes. I'm sure whatever you come up with by moving the notes by 2 semitones, theory actually already has names and concepts to describe it.
-
Not necessarily. Music in some melodically and harmonically complex styles like jazz or classical is generally made by people who use theory while constructing the music. Music theory is less relevant of course for making three chord punk rock, or techno where the only element that's not a percussion is a three note bassline
-
Is it known for a fact that Aphex doesn't know music theory? To me, his early 90s stuff sounds like it's been made by someone who doesn't know music theory but I would guess he has picked up the theory later

Anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers, COVID deniers and too early releases of lockdowns increase the spread of the virus and make the return to normal take much longer than it otherwise would

Are you trying to insult me for my valid concerns right now?
-
I would also say that yes, many people are unaware. A large proportion of people are dumbasses who are in denial about the pandemic, or still haven't understood the basics of how the virus is transmitted and how to prevent its spread

The post was meant as ironic, if it wasn't clear. I'm not actually a Hitler supporter and I prefer modern and postmodern art over classical art
-
Hitler tried hard to rescue this with his ban on degenerate art but in the end, it didn't work out as he planned

Staff members in all four fast food takeaway places in my neighbourhood wear their masks under the nose all the time. Both the people preparing the food and the people facing the customers do this. I'm not sure if this is illegal or not but it's definitely stupid

Yes. This is especially bad if there are any electrical cables or plastic water pipes in the attic. Given enough time, the squirrels are guaranteed to chew them into pieces, causing either a fire or a flood

DAWs normally have automation tracks that are independent from MIDI CC tracks. What DAW do you use? Can't you just use the DAW's automation tracks instead of MIDI CC messages?

Google still tracks you when you're logged out and the Youtube recommendations are still affected by what you watch when logged out. I never log in to Youtube and the recommended videos still change based on what I click on

The Channel Blocker browser plugin helps to remove stuff like this from Youtube's recommended videos

Has anyone put together a comprehensive list of tracks that Aphex has never made? It would be handy to have a list like that. I'm pretty sure he never made a track called River Wharfe that starts with a reversed 808 cowbell. Unfortunately, I can't think of any other tracks he never made besides this one

Posture too

It seems to me that the main thing that made Jordan Peterson world famous was some odd quirk in Youtube's recommendations algorithm that made Youtube persistently shove his content at everyone a few years ago. The quirk in Youtube's algorithm can also explain why there has been such a backlash against his content: viewers get annoyed if Youtube tries to force feed them content they don't like. Without this force feeding, the viewers wouldn't really care what this guy's opinions on things are

It's a bit hypocritical of Putin to say he has no interest in invading the neighboring Easten European countries, and yet be upset about the NATO bases established in these countries. If he is not going to attack these countries, why does he see these bases as a problem? The idea that NATO itself could invade Russia is so implausible that it doesn't really count as an answer here. Also, the main reason for the expansion of NATO bases to countries neighbouring Russia was that these Easten European countries themselves invited NATO there to be guarded against Russia. The expansionism of the USA had a much smaller role in it.
