We can't beat up the Nazis when the cops are already there protecting them, it's insane that we've gotten to this point

I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it's too dangerous.

This isn't a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they've been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.

Unpopular opinion that I have no justification for: I don't mind windows 11 all that much

Oh yes let's talk about my favourite subject ever!

The coolest thing I know of comes from wondering why bent spacetime makes you move at all. The answer is that you always move through time and the bending of spacetime actually turns a bit of time into space and vice versa.

Unnecessary tangentFor a horrible but intuitive explanation of how this works, time is kinda just a direction and bending sorta rotates things so that time looks like it's one of the space directions. Just like turning to the left makes what was your left look like it's straight ahead.

This leads to my favourite saying about black holes, once you enter them you can no more escape falling to the singularity than you can escape tomorrow.

What a horrible waste of oxygen

Come on, you can't just leave those dummy indices dangling, at least sum over them with a kronecker delta or the minkowski metric if this is some approximation of curved space.

(2) Appears to have a typo, but it could just be that the sqrt symbol won't extend further, which isn't good either lol

You absolutely don't need anything this big to tow most of that stuff, most farmers I know do fine with a ute half as tall. The only case I can think of where one of these gigantic US-sized SUVs could be necessary is with an equally gigantic caravan.

A really painful type of coordinate transformation I once had to develop to try and shed some insight on Hawking radiation near black holes.

Unfortunately the results were fucking ugly and I gave up trying to understand them, largely due to the fact that except under very specific circumstances they're basically impossible to calculate (you get something similar to divide by zero errors).

Nice case:

Not nice case:

There was a ton more related stuff I could have spent a PhD working on, but life didn't really allow it (and frankly I'm okay with that, I'm actually doing enjoyable stuff for the first time in my life instead of fighting my brain).

It's a lot of effort to solve an issue that's already solved by being vegan so eh, I'm pretty indifferent to it at least at face value. If it can compete with a vegan diet in terms of climate and ecosystem impact then I'll support it but I've no interest in it personally. I don't really have any justification for not being interested, I'm just not.

I'd be much more interested in seeing artificial cheese made from proteins created by yeast or bacteria tbh.

A friend took some photos of me on a holiday, and when another friend saw them she asked who the girl was.

I nearly died from happiness

I knew someone who had a badly behaved dog, it attacked their partner so they put it down.

A few weeks later "I'm getting another one and I'm going to train it myself" Meaning they just won't train it, lost their shit when someone called them out as a dog killer. People don't deserve animals, people suck.
