I’ve been using primarily webp for like half a decade and I haven’t noticed many compatibility issues or bad quality. I guess if your software hasn’t been updated in the past decade it won’t work, but in that case I guess we should never make a new image format again?

Bloodlines are overrated

Facts don’t care about my feelings, that’s why I choose alternative facts.

Actually, the distance doesn’t do weird things. If you traveled at slow speeds (up to like several thousand kilometers per second) time dilation and length contraction would still be negligible and your timing of how long the journey took would mostly line up with someone on Earth.

But if you’re traveling a significant fraction of the speed of light those effects become non-negligible. That’s where our normal understanding of a universal notion of objective time and distance breaks down.

The equations of special relativity are actually very approachable if you know algebra, you should play around with them and plug in some numbers!

100000 years from an outside perspective, but because of time dilation you could make it take arbitrarily little time from your reference frame.

Oo, yeah, I remember disliking the over-the-top praise.

I can look down for free, checkmate!

Has he tried with a man though?

That’s great until someone says “I’m not being a dick, I’m just telling the truth” while being a dick. This is especially easy to pull off against minorities, because the aforementioned “truth” can be based on stereotypes or inaccurate media portrayals.

“systems” is just the term for a group on one body.

And by “in my opinion” I think you mean “if I had it”? An opinion can still be harmful as outspoken bigots prove.

Simple answer: when it’s not an issue. If you function fine and don’t think it’s a big deal, then why try to change anything?

Personally, I can say I’ve been functioning better by discarding the idea that I should be one consistent self, because that idea caused the stress of choosing who my one self is.

That seems quite harsh. You’re basically telling systems that they’re either faking it or it’s a problem, but why are you the arbiter of that? It feels similar to transphobes or homophobes saying being trans/gay is either fake or something you should “fix”. You’re getting very close to using the medical system to enforce social standards on people who don’t conform to them under the guise of “disorder” where the patient is actually fine.

condition ≠ disorder

Just because someone’s brain is weird in this certain way doesn’t mean they’re disordered. Disorder implies there’s something wrong that should be fixed, but many people with conditions will disagree that there is anything in need of “fixing”.

Eh, DID is too narrow a scope. Being multiple people isn’t automatically a disorder.

TIL all systems are schizophrenic /s
