If the portal is being pushed down by the piston, that means it interacts with piston. A portal isn’t a lasso because lasso’s exist and have known rules to them. The only things we can know about portals is what’s presented in the hypothetical.

Regardless of the how the portal works, if the cube enters the portal at a certain rate, it has to exit the portal at the same rate and everything else has to follow.

The cube doesn’t interact with the piston, but it does interact with the portal and the portal is fixed to the piston. The same way that when I hit a nail with a hammer, I feel the resistance of the nail though the hammer handle. I don’t touch the nail, but the force is transferred through the hammer and in the hypothetical, the force would be transferred through the portal.

The hypothetical does not bring up the possibility that the portal has infinite sharpness at it’s edges and would cut though the piston head or the possibility that relativity is somehow involved and would allow the cube to exit the portal at a different rate that it enters. Wormholes moving at different rates is a theoretical form of time travel, but not at these speeds.

B.

As the cube enters the portal, it will take on energy from the piston, slowing the piston down in the process, and that energy will propel it out. If it enters the portal fast, it has to exit the portal fast.

A lot of those girls were hidden or otherwise, kept off the books from the Chinese government. Not actually that hard in the more rural areas. Not that that excuses the Chinese government’s polices, but the families of those girls weren’t all that depraved. Lot of of adult women suddenly started materializing out of nothing for college.

It’s been years, so citing my source is hard, but I’ll see what I can find.

…have analyzed statistics and found that a combination of late registration and unreported births explains a larger portion of the “missing girls” than previously reported in Chinese sex-ratio-at-birth statistics. Their findings are published this month in the journal China Quarterly.

The researchers believe local government officials informally worked with farmers and acknowledged that they couldn’t fully enforce the one-child policy. Instead they made tacit agreements in allowing families to have extra children in exchange for social stability in their communities. The cadres, or local governments, would then under-report “out of plan” births that ultimately influenced the national population statistics.

There was also abortions happening and infanticide probably trails behind that. Not great, but not as bad as is passed around. People probably aren’t having kids in China for the same reason they’re not having kids everywhere else. Despite what we hear, people in China are either too poor or too busy with work.

Did you just make up imaginary people to argue with you over your imaginary code?

You asked why people might not like him, so I looked him up. Personally, I didn’t like what I saw, but I already stay away from FIFA.

I don’t watch football and I never heard of him before. I’ll probably forget about him in an hour.

I don’t follow football, but I’m guessing it’s that they’re owned by Qatar Sports Investments. I just assume anyone with ties to FIFA is corrupt.

They make one movie with easy to digest anti-elite themes for every dozen that promotes competition between the working class, has libertarian undertones, or otherwise reinforces the status quo. How many Hollywood heroes promote the status quo vs challenge the status quo?

Also, Parasite is a South Korean movie, which makes it even weirder. SK is way deeper in late stage capitalism than the US if you can believe it. When Samsung alone accounts for 23% of their gdp, something’s wrong.

I’ve seen this pattern before. Too many times. I stuck with AvE when he was only making “i’m a dumb hick who doesn’t understand trans people” jokes and he would eventually just out right support the Trucker’s “Protest” and teach his daughter racial slurs. That odd friend of a friend who likes Russia a little too much and is confidant that they’ll win, but totally isn’t routing for the.

What hotdiggedydemon is doing is making videos about wedge issues. Things that are somewhat mild or somewhat split in the left leaning crowds. Not so much in the right crowds. His old pony vids aren’t political, but they are cynical and I side eyed him at the time, but quickly forgot about it. It took about ten years before he would reenter my radar with his Eat The Rich video for the phase that youtube was pushing content popular with right wingers at me. That video has one hundred percent appeal to right wingers with it’s generalization to that crowd. There’s a lot of people on the left who don’t trust the left wing pundits, but only the right ringers are making videos about the. Right now, there are much bigger issues then some strawman of a left wing pundits. What that video signals to me is someone slowly testing the waters with how political he thinks he can get away with. At best, he’s a useless centrist making noise about how he’s angry things are changing. At worse, he’s alt right and he’s following a pattern I’ve seen too many times before.

The next video I see is him complaining about Apu being removed from Simpsons, which is another one of those issues that has split options on the left, but the right is pretty united on. Which audience do you think I think he’s catering to?

Kricfalusi is also a groomer, so whatever.

Also, I never called diggty a fascist or a Nazi. I called him alt right because he’s making videos catering to the alt right. If it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

Yes, I was there 15 years ago. You should have seen it 25 years ago.

Ren and Stimpy’s creator didn’t exactly age well either. Honestly, he was only really funny when he was pushing against boundaries. Once he had free reign, it was just gross out stuff.

I disagree with your interpretation of Eat the Rich. If that was supposed to be Hasan specifically, he could have made it more obvious. It’s still an overly simplistic depiction of an idea.

My bank’s app hangs and crashes my phone.

I was there when those pony videos were made. They always seemed more meanspirited than I cared for, but I didn’t think too much of it at the time. Definitely Ren and Stimpy coded.

His Eat The Rich video is a tired strawmen of leftists. Unless that’s a specific person, which it does a piss poor job of convoying, it’s a broad generalization of everyone on the left calling for political change.

His “eat the rich” video was enough. Honestly, I never liked his old pony.mov videos either. He always seemed like an ironic mlp fan.

As much as I think Apu is a fine character, hotdiggedydemon went alt-right culture wars a long time ago.

I don’t know much about Switzerland, but America has an incredible dehumanizing education system where if you don’t fit into a highly competitive capitalist, you have no value. Some kids don’t feel like they want to be a part of that, but they don’t have an alternative, so they don’t care anymore. Adults that that happens to become deranged and may think shooting up a school is doing the kids a favor. A few of them have had copies of Catcher in the Rye in their pocket which has those themes.

It’s not access to guns that’s the problem. It’s that we fundamentally have a broken psyche at a social level.

It sort of also assumed that just because relatives are fucking that they’ll even have a kid.
