There cannot be any proof, it is obviously impossible to distinguish between "simulated" and "real" reality
Not that obvious to me. You're assuming the simulators have made a perfect simulation, which they may not have done. Or they could leave deliberate clues, if they so wished, which would help us distinguish simulation and reality. Of course, on a broader philisophical point, you could argue there would still be no difference - reality could be a simulation and still be real.

Headline writing rule #13: try to avoid words which could be nouns or verbs. I read this as (despite the missing apostrophe) "Teen's [drug-parents] to get web access" and thought that some kid's smacked-up mom and dad had finally got broadband. "To get web access" could also be made a bit clearer very easily.

As the movie making industry transitions away from film, they're going to start shutting down the industrial bases that makes and develops film.
This is a HUGE FUCKING PROBLEM
I thought it was called "progress." Are you saying it's a problem because if an old film needs a new transfer, it won't/can't be done in exactly the same way?

That's you off the next Mars probe team.
...on these unwritten rules, they'd have been written down a long time ago.
Lawful doesn't matter much to me. I care more about ethical.
Who doesn't? One can make ethics up on the spot.
I can NEVER get people to understand the difference between a backslash and a slash!
So if they change it, you'll still have the same problem?
He might consider a new career as a movie producer — this blog post is fictional.
FTFH?
Stupid is as stupid does.
Did anyone else think that said "puppies"?
...what does the scientists' octo-parrot think of all this?
Why?
The headline ends in a question mark, so... no!
Fedora is all well and good if you want to play with the bleeding edge
Well, yes, that's what it's for, isn't it?
If nature abhorred a vacuum, it wouldn't be condensing planets out of dust and gas, leaving behind "more" vacuum ;)

Of course you 'evolutionists' have no answer as to how DNA came about in the first place.
And you intelligent design nuts have no answer as to how God came about in the first place.

Africa's pretty big. It helps to divide it up.
We spend billions on probes, and get some complementary information from looking at a rock in Africa.
It's a bit like asking why we sent the Viking landers when we can see it's red from here.

it's become more and more dominant over the last thirty years.
Which makes it correct, because language isn't decided by committee.
I was simply pointing out the joke for the less informed.
By perfectly impersonating someone who didn't get the joke?
Anyone with an apple device is complicit in these actions.
And anyone who uses ReiserFS is an accessory to murder!
Can we all just standardize and get along?
That's "standardise."
But we ain't leaving.
I'll send you a postcard.
Maybe Evil Sharon likes her online persona. Why should she get bumped down the rankings?

I did a little fact checking before posting
