  1. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding in this thread. It’s okay. We can move on. I suspect it’s not certain human rules from which you want freedom, but instead certain humans in your life. If so, then I’m sorry to hear that and wish you well.
  2. I was asking which human rules you needed freedom from. This reply doesn't makes sense to me with that context in mind. Will you please elaborate?
  3. That sounds like one of those "good problems."
  4. Like which ones?
  5. Even here, you won't be free. You won't be free from struggle. From suffering. From a need to find and protect shelter. From the need to locate and acquire food and resources. Quite the contrary. Without money to make those things easier to acquire, you'd be less free. Losing all of your time simply finding the basics for survival and having no other time for anything you wish you were free to do. I'm not saying availability of money is required for freedom. I'm saying your freedom to choose to do whatever you want is facilitated by it.
  6. It depends a bit on how you define time. It is, however, a concept that is frustratingly resistant to simple definition. Many of the words you use are ambiguous and vague. They’re not helpful in understanding. Precision matters in topics like this. Instant is meaningless. You cannot stop time. Time is change. Entropy increasing. Perhaps you mean what our feeble limited human minds perceive as time. As right now. As this moment or this instant, but even that is delayed by several hundred milliseconds from when the event occurs. There is a measurable space between interactions and our awareness of them. There are perhaps other dimensions to consider, too. We are aware of 3-dimensions and exist in 4, but perhaps there’s more. That likely informs the answer here. Without input of energy, disorder increases. Time is a way we use imperfect human terms to describe that growing entropy. It’s a measure like distance and you’re essentially asking “how does distance pass?” This conversation will forever remain a philosophical one, and it requires you ask better questions with clearer terms. This part of why math is so appealing on this topic. Clarity is embedded.
  7. The overlap in Venn diagram circles for racist and snowflake amazes me in its consistency.
  8. Display name appears but edit option does not, at least not for me as nonstaff member
  9. AI Company or AI Lab are most common, but Gemini is a division within Alphabet (aka Google). It’s essentially a software company with a specific type of software
  10. IIRC, Admins like @Cap'n Refsmmat can do it, but Mods nor Members cannot
  11. Tell it to “align” the turbine with the flow of the water
  12. Try it in Gemini instead. Easier to refine the first few drafts with followup prompts
  13. You misspelled cell phones and social media For someone who laments politics, you sure do bandy it about heavily in all your posts. Well, so long as you’re convinced that’s good enough for me!
  14. I smell some Gish Galloping approaching
  15. Because not all people doing software and user interface (UI) design give a shit about user experience (UX), or when they do "changing profile photo" doesn't rise to the top of their priorities list
