And ever since i quit college the amount of time i could spend with people, even those i like, before wishing theyd just leave me alone gets shorter over time.

If the latter - I can take care of myself in that regard, there are better things to spend money on, and im pretty sure its illegal here anyways.

Good on you for knowing yourself and finding ways to deal. I'm kinda in a similar boat, although I do miss having a companion, someone I care about, the stress and the inability to not take on everything and put another person first scares me too much to try having another relationship.

Sex for me is no longer even really an issue (other then if I did get in a relationship the girl might still want it and it's been years since I have had any sex drive now). It's more about what being in a relationship does to me, it does help motivate me, but it can put me in a position where there is so much stress I can't take it anymore and I refuse to abandon anymore, so I deal with it anyway.

I lie detector test can be beaten, but that is still a possible test of virginity.

I believe you can also test if objects have entered a vagina and caused tears in the lining etc, although it wouldn't always be accurate and would need to be soon after the loss of virginity.

In addition a well used Vagina often looks significantly different then a virgin one, although again, doesn't rule out just having sex once or twice or using vibrators etc.

Much harder to test if a guy is a virgin though, probably focusing mostly on mental tests, lie detector tests and if they like role playing games (joking, I like role playing games).

For movies there are soooo many contenders, like The Matrix for instance, but there is only 1 movie that shines above all others, that had 3 movies all together (which knocks out Zoolander), and that I love the first with my whole heart but was so dissapointed with the sequels.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures.

I heart the first movie.

Back to the Future though isn't far behind, due to being a kid when the first came out (at a summer camp), so that movie freaking rocked, but the second and third were meh at best (but not as bad as the bill and teds 2nd and 3rd, and I don't love the first as much as "Want a twinkie Genghis Khan?".

Yeah, I'm really on the fence, I have 30 days to return it after getting it, so I figure I can try it out and if I really like it keep it. I used to build my own desktops before getting this laptop, but I really do like the ability to just bring it with me whenever I go out.

That one has like a 6 hour battery life as well (my current has like half that), so I could pretty much spend the whole day out without needing to charge it.

It's normally 1499, but the sale was $1299 (even if they SAID it was 600 off and normally 1899 (it's not that expensive anywhere). Still it's $200 less then anywhere else that I could find, and I was checking into GPU's etc and it looks like it would be $800+ to build a decent laptop with a good GPU right now because of a shortage of chips.

Still more, but i'd have mobility, and I double checked for HDI etc so I can hook it up to my 4k TV etc and use it just like a desktop.

Average of 8-14 eggs per harvesting for IVF. Here is a site that talks about the millions of people who have been born from it already, and specifics about harvesting eggs (sperm is obviously extremely easier).

So yeah, other then actually needing to either get people to volunteer, or pay them for the eggs etc, the tech is already here to set up a system that could eventually grow millions of humans with different genetics.

The tech is there for most of what is needed tbh, it's just not everyone knows about the tech. Again, you don't just jump out into the universe and start flying around, you start off in our solar system.

We are not talking about magic level tech here, we already have satalites that have made it to where we need to go, which means it's just a matter of using resources.

To colonize Mars for instance, your best bet is to get a large # of ships with TONS of extra resources ready to go all at once. Enough to handle 3-4x the number of people you are sending. Plenty of food/water etc to get started once there for years, along with the tools to start mining etc, so you can collect resources on mars. In addition, after sending the initial "fleet", you can send additional resources until they get production up and running (even if it takes a decade to do so, just send another ship or two each year with additional supplies.

Biggest problem is building a "fleet" on earth and sending everything up uses a ton of resources which is why it would be better to have a strong space station first (where you can build things you have sent up) or better yet, make a base on the moon where you can mine resources and build things directly (using much less resources to get them into space from there).

We have the tech, and hell, had the tech 30 years ago. If we had been seriously working on colonizing other planets since we landed on the moon, and started building a big space station, then maybe 10 years ago created a base on the moon as well, we would be easily at a stage where colonizing mars would be in our near future.

My comp (laptop) has been crashing randomly for awhile. I brought it in (i'm good at problem solving myself but it looks like it might be a hardware problem) paid $150 but they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Just get kernal errors and it crashes. Tried a bunch of fixes (though didn't wipe/reinstall windows).

So I found a deal on this computer for $1299 (which is significantly less then most places) at best but. It's $1400 after tax. I have read reviews etc and it looks like a good gaming comp that will last me awhile.

What do you all think? This a good idea? I was gonna get a desktop but they are crazy expensive right now, so this seems to actually be cheaper then most desktops with the same GPU power etc.

No. Probably not. Frozen eggs have small chances of success from what I remember

As we've discussed before, the new form of freezing, called vitrification, is significantly more effective; studies demonstrate that 9095% of eggs frozen using vitrification survive the freezing and thawing process (compared to just 61% of slow-frozen eggs)

And then develop methods for effectively traveling across VAST distances, and still being viable on the other side.

People tend to discount just how huge space is - but colonizing even the closest extra-solar planets would be like the equivalent of being a tribe in Morocco 40,000 years ago building canoes and trying to sail across the entire Atlantic from to Florida in one go.

Short of us discovering some sort of hyperspace or wormhole technology that is functional and affordable, or finding cryogenic tech that can be both fully automated and safe, we'd almost HAVE to go with the Generation Ship concept from sci-fi, where you shoot a ship full of people off into space and hope it gets where it's going (and you better hope you can fill it with enough resources to survive the trip, which would be a HUGE weight/space problem), while also hoping that you can maintain and transmit knowledge and information effectively enough so that the great-grandchildren of the people who started will be capable of developing a functional society once they get where they're going. And taking into account the Extinction Threshold for humans, you'd need to cram a LOT of people into that ship (or send multiple ships over a staggered period of time), which would be a phenomenally huge investment (and an unlikely one, unless we're pretty much at the point of destroying Earth completely and are desperately fleeing).

Worse, if you just send the minimum number of people to create a viable self-sustaining community, you're going to run up against genetic bottleneck problems and risk getting wiped out by a single virulent disease or genetic disorder that crops up. So for a realistic chance of long-term survival, you're going to have to send WAAAY more than the bare minimum.

It borders on being similar to people who say things like "We should just build domed underwater cities" without understanding any of the insanely complex (and borderline impossible) logistics behind actually doing it. It's easy to SAY "Oh, we'll just advance technology and colonize other worlds", but the reality is we may NEVER do that, because the problems we need to overcome may be completely insurmountable within the limits of resources and development that we're constrained by.

Frozen sperm/eggs can handle the min population problems (and allow you time to set things up on a new planet before expanding the pop greatly as well).

Space is Vast, but again, you are not jumping right from earth to colonizing another solar system, first you colonize this one, have people on multiple planets/moons, tons of resources to use at that point etc. Even then, advanced tech like cold fusion would help greatly. In theory we could at least expand to the next solar system (closest to us) even with our current technology given time (and the full resources of this one).

It's 5 light years away, which is of course very far, but should be doable with our current tech, even without a generation ship.

The main problem is that we are not really working in that direction at all. We have not built a real space station, we are not trying to set up a base on the moon (or skip it and just try and build on on mars). That really should be our goal right now.

If we can get a decent setup on mars, so we can mine ore/ice there and expand outward from mars, we are well on our way to colonizing this system, and it would only be a matter of time till we did it.

From there, we have TONS of time unless something catastrophic happens to our sun. Interestingly enough, it's theoretically possible to take a large asteriod/mini planet (pluto I'm looking at you), and build it into a ship, giving you a ton of resources to use on the trip (probably requires a better method of propulsion and energy conversion than we currently have, but would save a FREAKTON of time building something in space that large).

Pluto is pretty huge, but Hydra, one of it's moons is much smaller, and made enterily of ice (very useful for fuel conversion currently for us). It's size is almost perfect to use as a base to add on, allowing humans to live off the resources (water) for a long trip, while still not requiring some kind of massively advanced propulsion system.

By the time we were actually ready to colonize another solar system though, we would probably have advanced tech that made using Hydra just a minor advantage if any at all, but still, a 32 mile or so base would allow for humans to travel for a very long time before needing another source of power/water.

Technically once a species reaches a certain level of technology it's almost impossible for extinction unless there is a solar system wide event.

Even if the earth became incapable of sustaining life (naturally), we have the tech to create protected areas to exist in, while harvesting resources and eventually colonizing other planets/moons in our solar system.

At which point it would take the sun expanding etc to wipe out all life, and once we actually colonize planets/moons further away than mars (Titan etc), even that would not neccesarily wipe out humanity.

The question then becomes if/when the human race will move beyond our solar system, and while that seems unlikely with the tech we have now, you never know what the future holds. Even cold fusion would in theory allow humanity to create giant ships that could sustain generations of life while needing nothing (no new matter) to do so. That could allow travel to other solar systems at least and eventually allow humanity to spread out among the stars (even without travel speeds greater then light).

Alpha Centauri is only about 5 light years away, so even traveling at half the speed of light you could in theory make it there in 10 years. You would only need a vessel capable of sustaining life onboard for 12 years or so total, which we could in theory make right now (and certainly could if motivated by impending dooooooooom).

Basically people who left now in their 20's could be there partying in their 30's lol. And everyone knows in Alpha Centauri, 30 is the new 20.

Nuke war would not stop us, a meteor like the one that killed the dino's wouldn't stop us, global warming to the extreme that creates a venus like atmosphere would not stop us. The sun freaking going out completely...would not stop us.

It would be FREAKING HARD to wipe out humanity right now. Easiest method would be aliens with superior technology that come here and wipe us out, other than that, the sun going nova, a black hole intersecting with us (or being created by us because we mess with forces we shouldn't), a virus of some kind that rapidly kills everyone but isn't noticable until months after getting it (IE everyone is infected before we even know about it and can get people in isolated protection underground etc (Even then they probably have people in such places already just in case).

We are not going anywhere, at least not the whole race. The 7+ billion people though? A ton of things can cut that number down by 99% or more.

I can't stand masks but I wear the when going into stores etc since it's mandatory again (even though I have the vaccine). I don't wear them outside or in my car though.

That being said, they had people get the virus from a football field away supposedly, outside, due to the wind etc. So yes, in theory you could both give or get the virus while in your car alone, especially if your windows are down (I imagine if they are up your pretty safe).

There isn't really such a thing as being too careful if it doesn't bother you to do so. I wish I didn't notice I had a mask on after awhile, actually it gets harder and harder the longer I wear one.

I enjoyed this, I do admit to seriously liking Emma Stone though, but there have been a few movies she was in that I couldn't finish (forget the name of the dancing one, but i didn't finish that even though it was very popular).

I went in it expecting nothing and was playing Diablo II lol, but ended up just watching it.

I feel like the show can't reach it's full potential because they can only shuffle around stories based on the limited number of characters Marvel Studios can show

Imagine a What If with Wolverine as an Avenger or if Charles Xavier were head of SHIELD

Yeah there are a ton of cool stories it would be fun to watch, but so far I really like what they have done.

Love to see something with wolverine for sure, spiderman of course, maybe something with the fantastic 4 just for kicks and giggles.

Most importantly though the stories have been really good whoever has been in them. I'm not a big black panther fan (don't hate him, just a meh hero for me), but they made me really enjoy that episode.

Funny cause I really enjoy starlord and he isn't really that diff then Black panther, but the way I was introduced to him, and then the way they made BP fill his role, just shows that it's not just the power set, but the setting etc.

Still didn't like the first one but I'm not a fan of Cap, or fighting nazies or that time period etc. Only one i was meh about and it wasn't so bad I didn't come back to watch the next.
