Reply to comment by BariNgozi in Everyone talks about how huge Andromeda will look in the sky billions of years from now. I present you what the Milky Way *currently* looks like in the skies of our neighbor, the Large Magellanic Cloud. We appear absolutely huge in their skies! [Simulated view] by lampiaio
And yet all those stars are totally erased by a shining moon or a distant town or less than perfect spectacles.

Would it really be that visible? We can barely see the Milky Wayy, and we're in that one.

Is it? I can't figure out which of these I have, and I sure as hell don't know what to do next.

I like how they break down the problem in this much detail and the solution given is "well if you can just fix all that, it will all be fixed".

He wasn't trivialising it. He was boosting the words of Joan Salter, holocaust survivor, who has been saying this exact thing for weeks.

Imagine a marketing campaign that gets everyone talking about your product, engaged with it on an emotional level, gets airtime even on strict non-advertisers like the BBC, and it does not cost you a penny in advertisement costs.

Yes, be good little worker bees and appreciate the scraps you get. The corn you pick out of the stools of animals tastes fine if you rinse it well enough. Your cup overfloweth. Don't look up.

How does the word "eventually" translate to entirely different timelines operating under different laws of physics, different spacial dimensions, and different subatomic particles?

Inflation and heat death would seem to preclude this. The universe might have infinite time, but the era of the universe in which work can be achieved or that atoms can exist is not infinite.

Reply to [PM] Give me a character(s), and a predicament they've gotten themselves into. I'll write about it! by 28th_Stab_Wound
A mute swordmage on a first date with a pretty and huge elven half-orc, but they have not revealed their mutism to their date yet. They're trying to bluff their way through by having their talking raven speak for them using a throw voice spell, but the pair had a falling out ahead of time and now the raven is sabotaging the date to their point that a battle breaks out. Can the swordmage resolve the situation and repair relationships old and new without even being able to speak?

Break up the massive corporations, restore the anti-trust laws that presided over the most prosperous and fairest decades, hunt down and close the tax loopholes and set a tax rate that ensures the rich pay their fair share (and not, for example, less than I do), set extremely strict political donation limits and campaign spending limits to get the money out of politics, cut corporate welfare and support small businesses instead, establish a single-payer healthcare system to negotiate on behalf of everyone and so shift the negotiating power in favour of the patient, crack down on obscene pharmaceutical profiteering and limit corporate CEO bonuses and shareholder dividends so that their money actually goes into research and not megayachts and lobbyists.

Firstly, why are you talking about dicks? Secondly, this isn't about stealing money, it's about preventing the theft in the first place.

I think we can afford to fix substantially more problems than we even try to, and eliminating the corrosive effect of profit-driven enterprise would go along way toward doing that, as would eliminating the very possibility of the ultra rich. Most people have no concept of how rich a handful of people are, for the same reason they can't quite grasp the size or age of the universe.

This is why I couldn't do that. The amount of socialising, especially for such a mercenary cause, is like constantly hammering rusty nails into my eyeballs and then castrating myself with a cheese grater.
