I’m not sure that it can be clearly delineated as a time loop or a causality loop, it’s honestly a mix of both - though you’d probably call it a causality loop, as each “instance of a person” only experiences the loop once.

Well yes, you didn’t get first ads. But what about second ads?

What about stories about time travel that ultimately form a closed loop? There’s one that has people moving forwards and backwards through time, yet forms a closed loop at the end: >!Dark!<

Absolutely, I’m still regularly shocked how normalized those words have become. They are absolutely accurate from a corporate perspective, but why are we all using those same words? They reduce any creative endeavors to the positive effect on the extraction of wealth by the rich through influencing others into buying shit they don’t need or want. “Influencer” should be a pejorative, not a job title!

You mean on Iraqi landscapes?

I’m aware, it was mostly a joke about these “features” making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)

IIUC USB-C puts less mechanical stress on the port and more on the cable connector, so instead of the port breaking the cable should break.

Circular connectors wouldn’t be backwards-compatible either, and would be much harder to manufacture at the size of USB-C. I actually can’t think of circular connectors with more than 2 data channels that can be plugged in in any rotation - do you have an example? All the ones I can think of (PS/2, XLR) have a set orientation.

More like Notepad–, amirite

Fuck I just got that, nice!

Let’s go with the Cambridge definition:

a perfect society in which people work well with each other and are happy

The Oxford Languages definition is incomplete enough to not be a valid counter argument - “perfect” doesn’t mean everyone 100% gets what they want. The only sensible interpretation is “perfect” from a societal perspective.

But if yes, then as long as current conditions meet anyone’s definition of utopia, then we’re all living in one.

No, Utopia has a defined set of meanings. If current conditions meet someone’s definition of Utopia, but doesn’t meet the defined set of meanings, it doesn’t mean current conditions are Utopia.

“Utopia” doesn’t mean everyone gets what they want. People can want things to be worse while still living in a Utopia.

Pretty much no way to do so without losing most USB-C benefits.

Power only/power and data already existed with Micro USB, so that part didn’t get too much worse.

Little or big endian?

Man, Ego got old…

You mean John Evangelion?

Wow, it looks exactly like when god changes the input from daytime to nighttime!

Rip and tear, until it is done. And you can start knitting again.

Do you have any idea how much the royal family owns? If their possessions were transferred to the state and invested, the RoI would probably be higher than whatever they bring in through tourism.
