So for the past like 15 mins, I've been trying, unsuccessfully to thread a needle, although in my defense, the needle is the ultra tiny size and i was trying to double the thread.
This is effectively what multiple intelligence services all over the world are currently doing to you in a coordinated fashion with the concept of "dating".
People who have travelled a lot tend to judge less. Not because they became nicer, but because they ve seen too many versions of what's "normal." In one country, it's normal to eat with your hands. In another, it's normal to stay quiet at the table. In third, it's normal to hug a stranger. When you've seen 30 different versions of "the right way," you stop believing yours is the only one. Travel doesn't just teach geography. It teaches tolerance
In December 2024, the head of Google's quantum computing lab said the company's new chip was so fast it must have borrowed computing power from parallel universes. The chip, called Willow, finished a test in under five minutes that would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10 septillion years, a number with 25 zeros, far longer than the universe has existed.
So the multiverse is not fringe. It shows up in serious science journals and major labs. The tweet just wrapped a movie plot around it.
The "many worlds" idea goes back to a Princeton physics student, Hugh Everett, in 1957. Every time a particle could go two ways, the universe splits, and both versions happen. In a 2025 survey of more than 1,000 physicists marking a century of quantum mechanics, about 15 percent picked it as their favorite explanation of reality. The older Copenhagen view won with 36 percent. Still, 15 percent is a lot of physicists, not a few cranks.
Now for the theory the tweet is probably mangling. In 2014, three physicists at Griffith University in Australia published a paper in Physical Review X saying parallel worlds are real and physically push against each other. Worlds that are almost identical push apart, like people elbowing for space in a packed room. That shoving creates every strange quantum effect, from particles slipping through solid walls to acting like a wave and a particle at the same time. One world gives you ordinary, predictable physics. A huge number of worlds gives you the weird rules of quantum mechanics.
In all of these pictures, your other copies cannot touch your life. The moment a quantum system bumps into its surroundings, the branches split and stop talking to each other. For an object about as heavy as a paperclip, the split happens faster than light can cross the center of a single atom. Even in the Griffith theory, the worlds interact through a blind force, not through choices. No version of you is sitting in another universe steering your life.
Google's bold claim got pushback too. Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel said you can explain everything Willow did without a single parallel universe. Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder pointed out that the test it passed just spits out a list of random numbers with no real-world use.
The image on the tweet is from the movie that swept the 2023 Oscars, where a woman's parallel selves bleed into one messy life. The true physics is stranger and lonelier than the movie. Those copies, if they exist, can never reach you and never change a thing.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu just provided further details on his heavily hyped Renewed Hope Agenda, and the sheer mathematics of this project is deeply disturbing, especially since this mega scheme is aggressively marketed as a lifeline to better the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
In the quoted tweet below, President Tinubu claimed that exactly ₦128 billion in mortgages has been generously delivered to 1,859 families at a fixed interest rate of 9.75% spread over 20 long years through the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
On the surface, this looks like the ultimate utopian dream project, primarily because a 9.75% mortgage rate is ridiculously low, especially when you compare it to the predatory standard market rates which presently sit anywhere between 20%, 25%, 30%, or even higher depending on the bank.
However, even with this seemingly charitable low interest rate, a simple, cold mathematical breakdown instantly exposes that these supposed affordable homes are entirely out of reach for the average, hardworking Nigerian in whose very name this multibillion Naira PR project is being violently advertised.
To see this blatant scam, simply divide ₦128 billion among 1,859 families, and you will rapidly discover that the average mortgage size is a staggering, eye-watering ₦68.8 million per home. Now, under the exact terms quoted by Tinubu, which is 9.75% interest over 20 years with a mandatory 10% equity contribution of roughly ₦6.8 million, a single family would have to reliably cough up roughly ₦600,000 to ₦650,000 every single month just to service this impossible mortgage.
This mathematical reality clearly demonstrates that the policy architects behind this Renewed Hope Agenda have completely, and spectacularly lost their minds, their touch with reality, and their basic common sense.
First of all, the brand new minimum wage recently signed into law in Nigeria is an alleged, highly disputed ₦70,000, which is an insulting amount that many state governors claim they cannot even afford to pay, sustain, or budget for. Even with this symbolic, poverty-level wage, the average Nigerian that these houses are supposedly built for would genuinely need to starve, save every single kobo, and work for one full uninterrupted year just to afford a single one-month mortgage repayment. Currently, absolutely no middle-class citizen in Nigeria with an honest, verifiable, and legitimate source of living can ever afford to burn this massive amount every month for a house, no matter how stupid, lavish, or financially reckless they want to be.
Now this begs the incredibly obvious, screaming question: why on earth is the Tinubu administration deliberately wasting ₦128 billion (a massive $90 million) to provide subsidized affordable housing to a tiny fraction of 1,859 families who are obviously loaded with cash, highly connected, financially immune, and can easily afford luxury apartments, fund their own private estates, secure massive commercial bank loans, or buy premium properties outright?
This ridiculous allocation of scarce public funds makes zero strategic sense because the exact amount quoted for this vanity project is comfortably enough to buy about 4 highly advanced MQ-9 Reaper drones, fully equip them, heavily arm them, and ship them straight to the bleeding frontlines of Northern Nigeria.
These military-grade drones can stay airborne for 30 continuous hours, monitor the entire terror-infested forests in Borno in less than one hour, track moving targets, and violently update the Nigerian military in real time for any mass gatherings of armed bandits, hostage holding areas, illegal gold mining operations, or cross-border insurgent movements.
The colossal amount of money involved in this project is not merely the ₦128 billion senselessly wasted so far. Obviously, before this entire grand, systemic money laundering scheme is fully completed, more than ₦320 billion will have magically vanished, migrated, and evaporated from the Nigerian Treasury directly into the bloated private offshore accounts of ghost contractors, corrupt civil servants, APC campaign financiers, loyal party chieftains, and the ruling party's untouchable inner circle.
This is complete madness. Our brave men in uniform are constantly being taken by surprise, ambushed, and rounded up by ragtag terrorists simply because their vulnerable forward operating bases do not come equipped with basic acoustic sensors, infrared thermal cameras, night vision goggle, or basic aerial reconnaissance drones to serve as early warning mechanisms. Yet the Commander in Chief is cheerfully burning hundreds of billions of Naira under the guise of public welfare, deliberately laundering public treasury funds into the deep back pockets of shady construction companies, and happily providing heavily subsidized affordable housing to his ultra-rich, highly privileged, and politically connected friends.
There are unsaturated and less popular sites that hire remote workers daily with little competition. Pay range is between $130-$250/day, and you won't be expected to join any calls.
Here's a quick list for anyone interested:
Being a "sensitive young man" is a gift, it just comes with a catch. The feels are valid, and you don't actually have to crush them, but no one should ever see them expressed as you experience them.
The emotion has to be transmuted into passion, never expressed directly. Not passion for a person, at least not primarily, but for doing something for the world. Make, preserve, improve something in this life passionately, for others, even if its just for say your hypothetical children.
Introspect and understand PRIVATELY, but always transmute. Fail at this and all other efforts to date or seek out whatever you want will also fail.
@kenkenlewu As the Yoruba say, you may have a difficult spouse, but don't have bad in-laws, because when your spouse goes astray, their parents should be able to call them to order
Lighter is the most scalable perp platform because, through zk-proofs, it skips the massive cost of recording and reaching consensus on every single order and cancel — which is most of the activity in perps trading — unlike its competitors, which are alt-L1s with fully on-chain CLOB that must store and process all of it on their own L1.
AND all of its activity is verified on, and thus secured by, a decentralized base layer (Ethereum).
In terms of tokenomics, 100% fees of its fees are programmatically used to buy back its ethereum:0x232ce3bd40fcd6f80f3d55a522d03f25df784ee2 tokens.
Currently number 5 by perp volume, hoping it takes first place
