The Transition From “Why Do *I* Need To Survive” In The Original Post To “YOUR Tragic And Graphic

But then the for-profit, privately operated prisons would lose the free labor that they rent out! Even worse, the prisoners would be more likely to successfully integrate into society upon release rather than reoffending, and THEN how are the prison corporations supposed to get their paycheck from Uncle Sam? I suppose that next, you’ll tell me that we shouldn’t even be imprisoning nonviolent marijuana users, or overpolicing urban areas inhabited by socioeconomically disadvantaged demographics. It’s like you don’t even respect how hard the prison lobbyists work to EARN the current system. Grow up

I'm not actually inherently against the idea of prison labour in the sense that I am not against fairly compensated, voluntary jobs for prisoners. If there was a well-regulated program in place to give prisoners jobs with the same paycheque anyone else in that field gets, with training, work experience, job skills, etc when they got out I'd be all for it. That way they'd have a proper resume and demonstrated skills to fall back on and could find work and rejoin society again on their own independence, like how rehabilitation is supposed to work. Actually, add some financial literacy and life skills education on top of that while they're serving their sentence, and you're setting them up for success rather than re-incarceration when they get out again. What I'm against is slave labour forced upon prisoners for pennies on the dollar, if they get anything at all.

Do you like vintage scientific illustrations?

Do you like not spending huge amounts of money on them?

This website has a huge collection of high quality vintage illustrations that you can download FOR FREE

They got pretty much everything!! Vintage maps, mushrooms, flowers, trees, bugs, birds, corals, fish, palm trees, feathers, tropical fruits, you name it!!

They even got some works of my dude Ernst Haeckel on there!!!!

I could go on and on but I suggest you check it out yourself. Personally, I will be covering my entire apartment with these once copyshops are open again. But even if you don’t want to do that, just browsing all these beautiful illustrations is a great way to spend your time. 

Have fun and stay save!

When the debate comes up of whether or not our entire existence is a Matrix-style simulation, I often hear the argument that we can’t possibly be living in a simulation because the laws of physics we experience are too complex and the computational power necessary to reproduce them would be astronomical.

But like… that is such a flawed argument! If our entire universe is simulated, who is to say that the meta-universe, in which the simulations are being run, is bounded by the same constraints on compute power as our fake world?

That’s like a Minecraft villager arguing that it can’t possibly be living in a simulation because the redstone necessary to simulate its world would be too complicated. And that may be true but… spoiler alert the villagers *is* living in a simulation. It’s called Minecraft, and we humans don’t use redstone to run it
