Conspiration is clearly a combo of constipation and perspiration
I parsed "right" there as "much less correct than he's made out to be" and was like, ye, probably, he's like 0 correct so any amount he's made out to be is too much.
To be honest I'm mortified that there exists a person who interacts with that and calls her a "fabulous conversationalist". Ah yes, gish gallop personified, exactly what I want in the person I talk to. What the fuck is the purpose for which you engage with a conversation if this is the "fabulous" outcome??
What is, and I mean this with all sincerity of my heart, any of this fucking bullshit?
Wait is there a SneerClub Discord? Whose bread do you butter to get in?
the speed of light is not something you can hand-wave away
sorry i just woke up at 4am and realised that bitcoin actually fixes this so i retract my fud
what I'm trying to get across is quite simply that, in the absence of technology indistinguishable from magic (...) interstellar travel for human beings is near-as-dammit a non-starter
"Ha, you see, that's your problem right there", Yud exclaimed, "simply invoke technology indistinguishable from magic! Nanomachines, away we go!"
For people so obsessed with rationality you'd think they'd understand something that is a literal logical impossibility.
Of course I treat my life partner as a number

... yes I know where the door is
I'm glad I found at least one person who enjoyed the rant, makes me feel much better about wasting my braincells on this nonsense.
Scenes that could be a paragraph are dragged out over pages
Amazing that this can be applied directly to HPMoR, which doesn't have the defense of "glowfic".

I think that's a bingo, the sentence saying "in historical context this is essentially like religions and afterlife" I sneered at is an inadvertent slip on the author's side. He seems entirely oblivious that his position is "Rapture, but for nerds, and it's totally real this time because we did rationalism and Bayes on it." Or he's totally conscious that it's his position but is actually convinced by that flimsy rationalisation, which sounds honestly worse.
