  • Sure, but that depends on the person. You shouldn’t get that much more motion sick than you would be traveling in a car at 80 mph.

    You also aren’t technically moving, which is an interesting thing to think about. You’re standing still the whole time, and magically appearing seven inches ahead as fast as you can react. Your vestibular system shouldn’t actually detect any movement at all, so maybe people sensitive to carsickness would still be okay.


  • Does 3 cost me any energy, or are there any other limitations on how quickly I can teleport?

    Yeah it’s a little annoying to only be able to go seven inches at a time, but if there’s no limitations or cooldowns, you can move seven inches every ~250 milliseconds. That’s pretty close to a mile and a half a minute. If it doesn’t exhaust you, that’s still a pretty efficient and speedy method of travel.

    I think a unified UBI is a lot more efficient than segmenting aid between housing assistance, bill assistance, and food stamps, and I think if somebody really wants to waste their small monthly UBI stipend on drugs and booze, they should be allowed to. It’ll be a pretty small fraction of a percentage of the program participants that would do such a thing, and in a morbid sense it’s a problem that sorts itself out.

    People really just don’t understand how fucked the U.S education system is. The idiots all had kids, and some of those kids became teachers, who continue to pass down their culture of ignorance. Meanwhile, teaching is such a dogshit job that nobody in the U.S. wants to do it, so hiring standards have gotten lower and lower.

    It’s like a perfect storm taking us to a situation where people at a 7th grade reading level are teaching U.S. History to 10th graders.


  • Yeah, my friendgroup does the same. It doesn’t really bother me that much, just very silly to think about. I’d rather be included in the LGBT community than excluded, even if bi-erasure is a pretty serious issue. I used to really care about the meaning of words, but now that we live in a post-meaning world, I mostly just care about the intent. Nobody ever means me ill will when they refer to me as gay, so it’s w/e.


  • Here’s the wildest part, I prefer women.

    I think it’s just because my last long-time partner was a man, so a lot of my current friend-group has only ever known me in a homosexual relationship. Also, a lot of my friends are gay, so it’s easier to be “one of the gays.” Gonna be real weird to be called gay when I’m in a technically het relationship.
