Do you really want to deny my experiences?

i do. you just did not recognize pretty clear sarcasm, it is documented in writing above. it is unlikely that it was only time in your life it happened. so yeah, some of these experiences in your past were also cases where you did misread the situation.

your badly acted offense does not change anything about that.

were they, or did you just assume so?

It is because sarcasm needs tone.

not necessarily. you need context and it comes from other places than just tone of voice.

if someone just drops “of course star trek is woke” in the middle of written text in random place, it can be harder to decipher the intent than it would be in voice. but the original commenter did quite a good job to guide reader to understand their position on the topic. combined with what community we are in it is a no-brainer.

yeah, sometimes there are stupid people on the internet, but sometimes a joke is just a joke. in the old days when internet sounded like a tortured robot, people used to say “be conservative in what you send out and liberal in what you receive”. times have indeed changed, but the rule still can come handy sometimes.

Define woke then, please.

do you kids today really need /s behind every s?

as pretentious and exaggerated statement as the first one, or so i suspect. while there are unfortunately still slaves in this world, taking your first statement into account, i doubt you are a person who fled from literal slavery.

society is all around you and literally the only way to quit it is to move somewhere where it is not present. which is a deserted island, or few selected areas in central australia, central africa, maybe some northern canada…

but maybe i have it wrong, in that case please enlighten me and explain your secret. how have you exited the society while simultaneously having this discussion on the internet?

who says you have to live in complete isolation to stop participating?

dictionary and common sense.

you have an internet connection. you are paying for it, or someone else on your behalf. you are eating food and probably paying for it too. you have not quit a society.

i quit society

you are lucky that your deserted island has an internet connection 😂

it is really one of the basic physic principles that is taught in the high school, so i have no idea what kind of physic’s school would not teach that.

Oh no, have you used the word relativity too many times and now you have no more arguments? :D

If you could reverse time travel then the space would conform to the time you travelled to.

Really? What else would conform to the past point in time? Would fabric in my clothes disintegrate and transforms to something else? Would I, because I, well, didn’t exist in that past? Then it wouldn’t really be time travel, would it?

Or would the clothes stay, because they are mine and important for me and would I stay on earth, because that’s my baseline? Is universe somehow “me-centric”? Not really likely, is it?

You need to abandon your idea of time travel as seeking in a video with rewind button.

According to our current understanding of physics time travel is impossible, but we are talking about a word where it is clearly possible, so you can’t really constraint yourself with the limits as we know them now.

There is no cosmic frame of reference

There is. Just because we can’t correctly find and use it with our knowledge doesn’t mean there isn’t.

it’d be really silly

What would be silly is thinking that earth is some magical center of the universe… We have abandoned this concept about 500 years ago.

Asphyxiation checks out

what i don’t get is all the people complaining about google and at the same time using their browser…

i believe that trying to steer masses away from chrome would be more useful in the long run than trying to make it work

I could do this in about five seconds with Corel PhotoPaint.

that is because you are familiar with corel photopaint. i could do that faster than you in gimp, because i am familiar with gimp.

and yes, using tool capable of doing lot of complex tasks takes more time to learn than some single-purpose tool that is optimized to do one task (and even then you have to learn how to use it). that is like wondering that learning to pilot aircraft takes longer than learning to ride on a bicycle.
