Sunday School 1 year, 3 months agoJust wondering as the US economy grinds to a crawl, if environmentalists will declare The Mango Mussolini an eco-friendly president, LOL. He doesn’t understand why drivers in Tokyo or Paris don’t want to buy a Chevy Silverado.

Sunday School 1 year, 3 months ago“Super” means either “over” or “above.” “Sub” means either “under” or “below.” However, even over, above, under, and below are ambiguous themselves, having different meanings in different contexts.

However, I still have many questions: If we assume a single Natural Universe with nothing before it or beyond it, with all energy, all matter, all space, all time, wouldn’t this mean there can be no “balloon,” no “surface,” no “outside,” no force to expand space “inside” the “balloon?” -

The Artifice Girl does an even better job of laying out the ethical questions and risks posed by humanlike intelligent AI than the Blade Runner movies and Ex Machina, and those are great movies. This film was made on a budget that was probably less than just one scene in any of those films.
