- Comment on We should have elections with no candidates. 3 weeks ago:
I think it could be as simple as party x claims they will do thing a, b, c and then after their term in power you assess if they achieved those things. The parties who make the claims will need to back up those claims with real milestones that would become performance indicators of partial or full success. The milestones must be easy to assess and leave no room for interpretation. Just like in a legal contract, if you make the wording too vague and hard to interpret, then your contract won’t be enforceable in court.

See my response above that takes this into consideration.
- Comment on We should have elections with no candidates. 3 weeks ago:
I guess the pandering people pleasing approaches would overly benefit from this design but it could be more realistic if you showed a percentage next to the answer of the likelihood that the party will follow through with the statement based on their previous claims and achievements. This would make the parties less willing to make false claims or go back on their promises once in power because it would reflect badly in the next election.
- Comment on We should have elections with no candidates. 3 weeks ago:
Yes. You should be presented with a set of multiple choice questions where the answers are each of the parties stances on the matter and at the end your vote should be divided among the parties based on how you answered the questions.
- Comment on Maybe the concept of nothing does not exist. Maybe the fabric of Spacetime is always there. 3 weeks ago:
You can’t have a space with dimensions if it doesn’t exist in spacetime, so the commonplace understanding of nothingness is a space within spacetime that has nothing that we can interact with that’s interesting to us. People will say that there is nothing in the desert, but there is lots of stuff there. People will say there is nothing in a room, but there is still air. People will say there is nothing in space but there are still diffuse atoms, gravity, radiation and virtual particles. If your definition of nothingness is that there is a space with dimensions and time that has absolutely nothing in, then yes that does not exist.

I find it very interesting that they had thr balls to include this in the article.

If they did not die, then they were not seconds away from it.

To be fair, she was more of a counselor to him than Troi.
Another pointless argument is that because some people associate the length of a friendship with the strength of a friendship, and she has known him for over 500 years (time travel shenanigans), so their bond is for some reason stronger.

Haha! The Odo pick is perfect.
- Comment on Pac-Man is the Square in Flatland. The player is the Sphere from Spaceland who can see through the walls. 8 months ago:
Flatlanders can only see other flatlanders in a single dimension: a line. All flatlanders would look similar, no matter what shape they were, however from different angles the line that represents them would change length with some shapes and not others. A sphere is one of the shapes where the line would stay at a constant length.

I used to love Golden Eye! I bought a gaming laptop a few months ago, but I’ve hardly used it. I think my inner child is deceased. Now I just wake, work (from home), re-watch Star Trek, look at memes, sleep, repeat.

I think MudMan is correctly pointing out that to travel any slower than light speed through space causes time dilation since space is actually space-time.
There is a trade-off between how fast you travel proportional to the speed of light and how much time a stationary observer percieves to have passed compared to you who is travelling.
When you travel faster than the speed of light, all time and causality breaks down. This is not the case with how the writers of Star Trek wrote warp drive mechanics, this is our best understanding of the actual universe. Einsteins theory of relativity.
Fun fact: Light itself (or its quantized unit: the photon) travels at the speed of light and therefore experiences no time. If a photon is emitted from a star across the universe and travels millions of light years before eventually being absorbed by your eye, from our stationary reference point, the light has been travelling for millions of years, but for the photon it was instantaneous. Zero time passed for the photon. This is the idea of time dilation.
