  • Or we use binary to write all bases, since binary is the simplest. So English uses base 1010, and the alien is using base 100.

    This system does break down when trying to use a base that isn't a positive integer. I've heard of people trying to use base e (yes, as in euler's number) for maths research.

    Do you believe people should have the right to self-destruct if they want to?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty firmly against, because to really call on bodily autonomy rights, you need to be able to make a reasonably informed, rational, and non-coerced decision. For the impact that death has, I don't think you can make that decision. Both because of the standard that you need to hold when death is the consequence, and because usually when someone is considering suicide they're not in a rational state of mind. I've been through depression and I had some suicidal thoughts, but looking at them in hindsight, I was not fairly considering things at all. Sure, my life was far from perfect, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it felt at the time.

    the only person I'll ever hurt is myself

    That's just not true. Unless you live as a full on urban hermit, never interacting with anyone, you have people around you. And those people care about you more than you'd think.

    What are the best cheap crafts for men?

    Yeah, no

  • What wisdom from someone else has stuck with you?

    Jump

  • I like that your first one doesn't imply that you always need to find a good option, you only need to look for the best. Sometimes all of your options are bad, and in any other situation you'd never go for them.

  • All the guilt none of the salvation

  • Plus most of the rest of the Bible. I highly doubt that the political cult focused around a billionaire would approve of Amos, the book of the Bible all about God being pissed at Isreal for treating poor people badly.

  • A. It kinda depends who you ask. Some Christians are cessationists, meaning they believe the gifts of the spirit stopped happening after the apostles in the new testament. Those Christians will universally say no new scripture can be added. On the other hand, Catholics believe in papal infallibility, which means that in certain conditions (I'm not sure what they are, I'm not a catholic), the pope can make infallible doctrine, which is almost as highly valued as scriptural doctrine.

    B. The list of books in the Bible has technically changed since the original canonization in the 4th century, but that was only removals like the apocrypha as far as I know. To add a new book, especially one written so long after the new testament was written, is basically impossible. It has been tried by the Mormons and arguably by Islam (although I don't think they see the new testament letters as scripture so it's another change on top of adding), but both of those changed so much that they're no longer Christian.

    I technically won't say God can't reveal more to humanity, enough to make another book of the Bible, but we already have the Bible, with no new additions for nearly 2000 years. If God was going to inspire more scripture, he probably would have done it by now.

  • Is this a cool idea for a story or video game?

    Jump

  • Have you played raft? It's a similar post apocalyptic setting with a bunch of scattered recordings. Probably much more survival, less sci-fi horror than you're wanting though

  • Is this a cool idea for a story or video game?

    Jump

  • There's definitely potential here. What genre are you thinking? I can see a coop horror game here similar to lethal company or a survival game with horror elements like subnautica.

    Also, you could lean into the strength of game story telling and use pieces of recordings scattered around the world instead of necessarily ghosts. Imagine if you act like it's an alien planet in all the previews, then drop hints throughout the game to show the planet is actually earth.

  • Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

    Jump

  • I'm presuming that this is me choosing a name for myself, not what would my name be if I was born a girl.

    My name does have a feminine version (Joseph => Josephine), but I'm not really a fan of gender swap versions of names, so it wouldn't be that. I'd probably go for something biblical like Deborah or Esther.

    how did you choose your career?

    Jump

  • Honestly I kinda stumbled into my specific career. I've known I enjoy working with computers for a while, so I took digital tech class all through high school. I went to uni thinking I'd do mechatronics engineering, but that needs chemistry so fuck that. I then switched to software engineering, but then I saw the timetable of some second year engineering friends I had, then said fuck that. Then I switched to computer science for the next year, planning to go into researching ai (this was in 2020, don't judge too hard), but dropped out for my mental health. Then a family friend at my church offered me a position doing automation/efficiency programming, which was better than the pool attendant job I had at the time. I've been there since.

    Also, if you're not sure what to do, don't feel guilty about taking a gap year. Take that year, earn some money, figure out what you enjoy doing. And don't feel like you have to go to uni. Polytech and trades are just as good as uni.

    everyone wanted them to collapse

    This changes what exactly? Even if everyone wanted it to collapse for purely imperialistic reasons, that doesn't actually say anything about the government being good or bad.
