The acknowledgement featured “shot(s)” which also play a very prominent part in the hit musical Hamilton, the origin of OP’s meme. It was a poor attempt on meta referential humor on my part.

I’m not quite sure if this is an intentional Hamilton reference or not, but I’m definitely not throwing away my chance to comment on it!

This seems like mental illness with some terrorism on top. I’m willing to bet that a robust mental health care system could have prevented it.

Oh snap, time to go back 30 years and get lost in Alone in the Dark again!

Consider your education and professional background and how well you’ll integrate in the workforce of whatever countries you’re looking at. Look into general unemployment rates as well as for your specific area of expertise. Can you work remotely?

I very much appreciate the effort to write your repsonse, and if you’re out of time or energy I completely understand.

So if I’m understanding you right, we’re 3-dimensional creatures living in a 4-dimensional universe, with the 4th dimension being… time? And time behaves completely different from the other 3 dimensions, which is why we can’t just disregard or freeze it when trying to determine a center?

That could sort of explain why it’s inherently impossible to determine the center - but that doesn’t rule out the existence of a geometric center of the universe, right?

I’m not sure if I follow the balloon analogy. Sure, you can’t find the center on it’s surface. But somewhere within the balloon, there is a center. It might be virtually impossible to determine the center while actively inflating the balloon, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any center? What makes the rest of the universe fundamentally different from an inflating balloon? I’m genuinely curious.

Shouldn’t it be (at least theoretically) possible to find some sort of geometric center where - on average - the rest of the universe is expanding away from?

So how do I go about finding some of these soon-to-be-banned posts? I want my old Reddit account to be part of the statistics 😁
