I used to be Really Cool. Nothing could faze me.
If a car swerves towards me and nearly hits me while I was with a friend, he'd go "Hooooly Shit! You could have died."
"Yeah"
"What do you mean Yeah? That car missed you by an inch. You could fucking be on the road bleeding right now."
"But I'm not. Duh!"
Or if someone almost drops an anvil on my head.
"Fuck! That guy almost dropped that anvil..."
"But he didn't."
"He almost did!"
"Yet, he didn't. What difference does it make if he almost did or completely didn't? I'm not almost dead, am I?"
That is until I read about the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Now I'm afraid to leave the house.

Have you read this story called "Singularity"? It's about this really smart scientist couple who decide to breed a kid who is a single presence in the multiverse- so she'd have complete freedom of choice. I mean, if every single path we could take is represented in the multiverse, then arguably, we have no choice, yes? The catch in the story, of course, was that bad shit that happens to this singular child, happens to her in *every* universe...
August 2 2006, 13:41:32 UTC 5 years ago
The multiverses aren't infinite. If I can increase the number of my future selves that are happy, then I _am_ making a choice, right?
Not that I'm suggesting that we have free will (or that we don't) but just in the context of the many-worlds interpretation...

non sequitur?
Because in the *other* world, you not only left the house, but died, screaming Really Uncoolly.AND the colour of your undies didn't match your pants, at all, exposing a further possibility of Real Uncoolness.
O.M.G.
However, since you're my friend, it also turns out in this world that your final LJ post changes the world, solves hunger, and makes India a Superpower. Indian children are made to salute your photo after singing the national anthem at school in 2016.

That's all I know. Tried to understand quantum physics, tried to understand general and special theories of relativity. Could never get my head around it :(

Do you think there is any chance that you will get it up and running again?

I laughed at this more than any other LJ - shows how boring everyone else is - so would like to add as friend.

I'm sorry for bothering you at your personal journal. I've only just seen the "interest Collage" on some friends' entries and would love to do it. I know you had to take it down, but is there any way?I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
August 22 2006, 15:09:45 UTC 5 years ago
Re: OT
Tell me if this works: http://treap.net/gavri/lji62.htmlIf it does not work, I'll send you a link later. But please tell me if it works or not.

Re: OT
It looks like it's going to work but then no images appear. It just says Loading.... but at the bottom of my browser it says Done. Does that help you?August 22 2006, 15:20:48 UTC 5 years ago
Re: OT
I'm at work right now and can't access the page. It's blocked. I'll send you a link later.August 22 2006, 15:22:15 UTC 5 years ago

On the interest collage ...
exactly how much bandwidth and space was it taking up? I may be able to helpAugust 24 2006, 18:43:01 UTC 5 years ago
Re: On the interest collage ...
It wasn't a problem with bandwidth for me. Yahoo's servers were getting hit pretty badly.5 years ago

Re: OT
Just a reminder for the link please? *grin* Thank you!August 24 2006, 18:16:54 UTC 5 years ago
Re: OT
I have to make a few changes to the code. A hashed password based on userid, date and a secret word (it's a one way thing, not reversible) to ensure that only those I want to use the collage can use it. Will do it over the weekend and send you a link.5 years ago

also: thank you for interests collage
I was lucky enough to get to do your interests collage before it came down and I loved it, so I wanted to thank you...it is too bad yahoo couldn't handle it (although I now know that I can use their images as a resource when I want to make an icon!).

Interesting Ideas
I just made my collage and wanted to thank you again. I made one once just using my name and came up with a porn star...I was reading your post(hope you don't mind) and I like the way you write and think. It's very interesting. Your LJ is refreshing compared to others which are just about drama and such in everyday life. I'm guilty of it for sure but I also include fun things.

Hey, you are a super interesting and cool person. I like your pickup line too. Yep, I'm digging you. Plus you're smart, but this is coming from a forty-four year old cat lady.
Hugs,
