    Ouch.

    But thank you? a. For considering my attempt at formatting and absurdity with clankers. I would argue that to be human is to accept the absurdity of it all. But I guess it is getting tricky..

    Out of curiosity, I did ask some llms my baby throwing question:

    • perplexity just straight up said no. Unethical question.
    • Chatgpt treated it like a physics problem. All while asking me about technique...
    • deepseek gave a balanced reply. Followed by "Do not attempt". Which I thought was fair.

    b. For at least entertaining my notion I understand that it's all subjective.. that's why I was trying to define a scale, or at least a comparison.

    c. You did help me get closer to an answer. If I take a loose definition of Trust as being my ability to predict its behaviour [and its ability to not harm me] (which I think is fair but arguable..), I would trust a rock more than an adult (and somehow even a baby more than an adult). In my hypothetical world, a trusted consenting adult would help me throwing them thus increasing the overall distance. So the positive correlation is more fitting in most cases (at least in that assumption).

    I fully acknowledge the absurdity and the stupid premise. I thought this was nostupidquestions.

    {Edited to try fix formatting.. Ugh can't. It stays. Thank you for bearing with me! Hope you have a nice day.}

  • I hear you and yep, since throwing ability is limited, trust is in short supply.

    Which is why I wanted to consider that throwing ability can vary and therefore the amount of trust. And what can I extrapolate from this scale!

  • You could figure out your reading speed and then build/find an auto page turner function.

    Nice work though!

  • Yay! There are dozens of us (probably more since I guess it has leaped out of cult status)

    Oh oh and I'm also open to recommendations if there's some other movie that you feel is similar and worthy.

    Thank you and hope you have a nice time!

  • You might enjoy a movie called "The man from earth"

  • Dang, hope you're ok.

    Shit does suck but you will be surprised at your agency, looking back, however small.

    I pray you mean self deletion in a digital or a metaphysical context. In which case, would recommend. Everyone needs a level of ego death to thrive. If struggling, then there are books you can read, activities to experience, drugs you can take and interesting people you can meet (therapy is great for ego death) to help shake your framing of reality.

    Sending you good wishes stranger. And my fav quote recently.

    "If you look for the light, you may sometimes find it. If you look for the dark, that's all you'll ever see."

  • Your list is getting quite long but here's another less week known movie:

    Nine Days (by Edson Oda)

  • Nice!

    I'd also like to add "Turd Reich" to the submission box.

  • That image and your description helped a ton. So there isn't a magic zone but more of a threshold after which things get easier to maintain.

    Really should start playing Kerbal Space Program as someone before pointed out. You seem to have a great conceptual model of this. Thank you for engaging 🙂

  • Appreciate your response!

    It clicked when you mentioned "multiple Earth widths" which made me realise how large space is and why my assumption of blasting debris out of orbit is so insane.

    And your aside is now even more amazing given the vastness and the eons of time required to make it all function without it collapsing into a big hole. It's one thing to be slightly aware of space shenanigans and another to actually ponder.

    I'm glad there are such safety standards.. just learnt of the Kessler Syndrome down below and it's a scary thought of humanity creating it's own prison

    Thanks.

  • Cheers for the detailed response! Seems I'll have to scratch the destruct button from my imaginary space station and replace with a simple thruster.

    Didn't realise particles shooting away from Earth wouldn't realistically come down again. I'll have to read up more on Orbital mechanics

  • Thank you for your response!

    Pardon my crappy drawing and simplification.. trying to understand..

    • So Zone 1 requires a lot of maintenance energy
    • Zone 2 may be maintenance free zone
    • Zone 3 may require more energy than Zone 2 but less than Zone 1
    • And finally Zone 4 will be even less energy to stay in orbit but needs more energy to stay in line due to increased travel distance

    Is that right?

    But yes, there goes my self destruct notion down the drain.

  • Thank you so much for the detailed response. That Kessler syndrome is scary..

    So the best method is a controlled reentry. From the wikipedia link, I'm now inspired to replace the self destruct button to a megawatt laser for dealing with debris.

  • Ask Science @lemmy.world

    Is remaining in geostationary orbit an active process?

  • You're quite right! The body thankfully does have some margin before it all goes downhill. I was exaggerating a tad to emphasize the vigilance aspect.

    Although I do have older aunts and uncles who do need this level of high bodily maintenance.

    (Not sure on your stance on Mr C.K but this bit lives rent free in my head on this topic Soz, couldn't find a better link)

  • And never stop doing it. One lapse or moment of weakness and bamm.. back to the physio.

    Constant vigilance 🙃

  • Oof the urge can whelm.. stay strong!

    Good luck with the business🤞 Maybe the external accountability helps keep the momentum going!

  • I've been a little intimidated by Notion due to the sheer customisation potential. However, it does seem to help folks and it'd be a shame not to have at least tried it.

    You've nudged a fellow being towards a good habit and for that I thank you.

  • Haha it was a chore to finish.. the urge started at 4am one night so can't say it was a controlled acceleration either.

    Ttrpgs is a fantastic hobby. So jealous. You're working with your hands and collaboratively building with a sense of play.

    Can understand things telling pointless.. you're making me question things now.

    Ah yeah this constant meandering does flesh out ones personality. Lack of control is frustrating... Comes at a cost but as people said, it's all a matter of limiting the destruction. Keep on trucking fellow traveller. Appreciate you sharing your experience

  • Dang.. thank you for sharing. It's really tough when certain interests literally take over your life. The time between fixations of a week feels like you're just getting time to breathe and resurface before getting dragged down again.

    It's interesting how you've weaned off gaming as I find myself keep coming back to that rush of dopamine. I just change games if I'm getting bored and it becomes a never ending cycle. There is hope for me! What did you replace it with if I may ask?

    Love the idea of nurturing social and outdoor projects. The act of being witnessed by others does help. And you can't go wrong with nature!

    That superficial knowledge feels like you're building a big table of contents, good enough to reference just not enough to write the chapters. All depends on your note-taking and documentation I guess.

    Maybe a suggestion regarding closure, as it helped me, was fixating on my past behaviours as it's own research. I once spent 2 weeks just listing out my rabbit holes: what sparked it, how much time I spent and what point I went from 100-0. At least for me, I could see that the moment my brain had a clear path ahead and "progressing" on such fixation becomes a matter of just discipline/"putting the hours in", my brain was like 'boooring, let's move on'. Acceleration is easy but maintaining speed is a huge challenge. Controlled deceleration is another lol. Reading other responses here reminded me that the times I felt some closure was when I had made something tangible or have it validated by others, however minimal.

    Great to hear you're becoming more aware of yourself and it's trending towards positive. Really do appreciate hearing what has helped you.
