So I didn’t redefine what you meant with “deep down”… since you gave an essay to tell me it means exactly what I thought you meant.

And I do love your entire “nuh uh” wonderful

You gave no explanation what so ever to what you mean by deep down. So I don’t know what alternative meaning you have for “deep down”.

Good luck

No, you’re supposed to make fun of the US for not being able to maintain a supply line to a war they started themselves.

So, they sent their navy to the middle East with no plans on establishing or maintaining a supply line?

This is hilarious levels of incompetence.

I suggest you all look into first sleep and second sleep. It seriously changed my life. And I love it. We need to bring it back. It’s what we would naturally do if we weren’t surrounded by constant artificial light

I beg to differ. My philosophy is about what we are deep down. You can’t escape what you are deep down. To me, it looks like the world reflects my philosophy a lot more fundamentally than any other claim I’ve seen here.

So if we can’t escape what we are deep down, and plenty of people are monsters deep down. Real assholes that enjoys fucking with others for their own entertainment. Then locking them up must be the optimal solution for everyone else’s safety.

You just said it yourself no? Can’t change what they are. Which is a contradiction to what your said earlier about no one being who they were, but who they’re becoming.

So, can we become something else, or can we not escape who we are? Which one is it?

Yeah and if you think prison resolves that, you’re doing a lot of wishful thinking.

I don’t think that. I have no idea if it’s going to resolve it or not. Quite frankly I don’t care. You can’t help someone that doesn’t want to be helped. What I do know, is that prison is keeping him out of civilised society. Where he belongs.

You offered no example at all as to how my justifications are out aren’t justifiable. You asked if I would use the same argument on concentration camps because they were built for a reason to. Suggesting that I seem to think just because something is made for a reason it is inherently justified. That’s the strawman. You take my words and try to put them into your own irrelevant context about actual nazi concentration camps.

Maybe, I don’t know. But that doesn’t excuse people taking it out on this guy for just asking a simple question.

It’s called “no stupid questions”. I always thought that also means “no stupid answers”

I’ll be honest, I didn’t exactly proof read every word either.

I think what they meant with parabolic reflector is the reciever. They mentioned they 3d printed a reciever to achieve recors breaking efficency (short range). It’s not so easy to gather and convert the microwaves into electric energy. And it’s probably not very easy to create a concentrated beam either.

But that was my interpretation. I’m not going to pretend I understand everything about this. I could be wrong.

I think the technology to have satellites charge drones in the sky is at least 50 years away.

We already have concentrated microwave beams. And they do suffer immense energy loss on longer distances.

If you want to transfer energy via microwaves, your efficency will reach single digits real fast on any meaningful distance.

You are right that the inverse square law doesn’t realistically apply with concentrated beams. But you still have energy loss. Lots of it.

But don’t take my word for it. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-25251-w

Yes but you are charging through a conductive cable. It’s not even remotely the same as charging something with microwaves.

The power delivered decreases exponentially with distance. I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “inverse square law”.

Because you divide the effect and gain by 4pi(r^2) meaning your output is decreased by 75% every time you double the distance.

You’re going to need ridiculously powerful hardware and an enormous amount of electricity to run it on any meaningful distance.

I’m not religious. But I’m pretty sure they would say that we are created in his image.

So, if we have emotions. I don’t think it’s beyond reason that god might have them as well.

And holy shit these comments are insufferable. This isnt about your personal vendetta against religion, just answer the god damn question.

You’re stuck in a constant state of becoming something, not being something, which is a necessary consequence of having your human awareness.

Yeah well he is in a constant state of becoming an even bigger asshole.

It’s sounds like a beautiful philosophy you have. But it’s just not applicable to how the world looks like.

And no. I would not use the same argument for fucking nazi concentration camps. Which is a really dumb strawman but you know what. Just for you.

They were not constructed to punish and reform. They were constructed to murder people. People whose only crime was not being “German”.

You think they’re similar in any way to a South Korean prison? If not, why even being it up?

Yikes… if that’s what you gathered from my comment. I feel sorry that your educational system failed you.

Please… Read the examples they give you in your link. It’s very obvious which “kind of” they refer to.

The sequence of words are the same but the meaning is not.

When you say “my kind of people” you are talking about your kin.

Look, you are free to write however you want. I really don’t care. I just find it sad that people don’t know how or which words to use.

What we say and how it’s written are two very different things.

In Swedish we have plenty of words that are pronounced identically, but they are spelled differently.

English is not much different. Take “you’re” and “your”. The pronounciations are almost identical, and in many dialects they are identical.

Yes. That’s kinda my point. And in the context of human kind. We refer to it as “my kind of people” in writing.

It shows that people don’t read books anymore.

I see, so when you’re complimenting people you say “that’s kinda you”?

Or would you say “that’s kind of you”?

Feel free to say it out loud and let me know

By all means, tell me how I’m wrong. I’d love to know

Yes, but in this context, “kind” have a different meaning so you can’t use the contracted informal version of “kind of”. It’s like instead of saying

“oh how kind of you to hold the door for me”

You say: “oh how kinda you to hold the door for me”

It just doesn’t make sense.

I’m not exactly great at it myself… but my dad used to tell me a story from his job.

There was a guy that made some claims, another desperately trying to correct him and tell him he’s wrong. To no avail, afterwards, he turned to another person that had a doctorate in the very topic they were arguing about. And said “why didn’t you say anything!? You know he is wrong!”

To which the doctor replied “yeah, but it’s not my problem that he’s an idiot”
