I suspect the speed of light can appear variable but it really isn't due to it being tied to the medium through which it travels. This is definitely not my field and so my explanation may appear to be somewhat retarded but if you bounce it around in your brain you will see what i am trying to explain. Imagine the entire universe was one blurble in diameter so that light took 4 years to get from one side of the universe to the other. Now take that single blurble universe and wait a few years until that universe has now expanded and is two blurbles in diameter but it still consists of exactly the same contents only spread out(thinned out) over a wider area. I suspect that even though it is now much larger that light would still take 4 years to cross it. The reason we are unable to see and measure this effect is due to the inadequacy of our instruments and the massive distances and speeds involved.
I nearly deleted this due to my inabilty to explain it properly but I will now look like a fool forever and that's OK
Possibly the people running the simulations have had moral ethicist types tell them that they are responsible for the sentient 'beings' they create and that they must be catered for after they have all run their simulated races. Is Heaven simulated too?
You ask "Where's the restriction on "freedom of speech" here?"
Right here when you wrote: "it should be illegal to ask."
It shouldn't be necessary to ask at all. I can tell the difference between a male and a female usually just by looking and if a man tells me he's a woman I will happily think he's damaged goods.
This is like complaining about cigarette taxes. Why should anyone have to pay an artificially hiked price for tobacco? Well, that's because tobacco products cost society a huge amount of money in health care costs,
I have never believed that the financial 'burdens' on society caused by smokers is real. Either does this Australian senator who thanks the Australian smoking public for their forced financial contributions to a society that hates and maligns them unfairly.
I once saw a very interesting chart showing the rise in lung cancers and it showed a very close correlation with above ground nuclear testing. I am not saying that that is what the cause of the massive spike in lung cancers that started in the fifties is but what does warrant investigation is why lung cancers are still increasing while simultaneously smoking is dropping off rapidly.
I found that, like in the case of homophobia, the more virulently opposed peoples are, the more likely they are one themselves.
I might agree with most of what you said but the above was admitted to be a tactic to shut down open and vocal early opponents of societal acceptance of homosexuals. Anti-Gay people became seen as closet gays because of this PROPAGANDA so it shut them up as the majority of them considered homosexuality a shameful activity. Do you also believe caveman found their mates by knocking women unconscious and dragging them by their hair back to a cave? If so then you might be a victim of early feminist propaganda too.
Your home does not get solar power when the grid is down if you have a direct grid tie system.
We have been off grid for over a decade and I hadn't really looked into the setup of grid tied stuff as it has never been relevant to us. When I discovered that grid tied solar systems didn't work during a grid outage I was a little shocked. I guess there are good reasons for this but it still seems a little weird.
Thank God for some sanity. All of this interference in the natural order does nothing in the long run but propogate genes and defects that should have been bred out of the species by now. Just wait until a really virulent strain of something comes along helped along in its evolution by vaccination then we will see the corpses being stacked.
The collectivists are fucking evil bastards. They dress it up in the most noble of motives but when push comes to shove you are going to do what they say or the consequences will be up to and including your death. I've had vaccinations in my life but the minute someone approaches me to tell me what I have to have injected in my body by force that arsehole is going to be hurt up to and including their death. It's an easy game to play.
When you consider that the first tool ever was probably for crushing peoples heads there's an argument that we were doomed to causing our own extinction anyway. Written this way to bring joy to grammar Nazis.

Bullshit. It will be Bono and Al Gore because of the environment and stuff.

Has anyone told you today?

Apologizing to the SJW crowd is like throwing chum int the water when the sharks are feeding. It never has a good ending.
It won't be the conservatives lining you up behind the chemical shed.
I said nothing
Only when you visit Texas is that true.
The FBI is evil, it hurt children. Deal with it.
They have burnt a few alive too

My wife and I are completely off-grid. We haven't had a power bill in probably 13 years now. It's great.
