It takes a truly ‘dead inside’ piece of shit to stop and watch a street performer and not drop him a couple of dollars.

We agree that there's a chance that we are living in a sim. (Impossible to argue against actually since we are inside the sandbox).

Is it possible therefore that the laws of physics were programmed differently in a previous earlier sim and as a result of a memory leak, some of the subroutines were carried over into our now Earth 2.0 version of the same upgraded sim? This can explain all the supernatural events which have occurred so frequently in stories of the past.

Hilary Putnam wrote an article arguing that we could tell if we were brains in vats. I didn't find it persuasive, but if true, living in a sim wouldn't be indetectable.

Grading.  I probably hated it worse than the students hated doing the work.  Faints  All that chicken-scratching! I taught math and physics at a high school for two years. It was a private school- no credential required.

Here's a sobering thought.
Of all the US dollars in existence today, 40% of them were created in the last 12 months!

Sometime in the blip of time between today and tomorrow is our 29th wedding anniversary. Husband and I were married on Leap Day...so this year is an unanniversary, I suppose.
