I think those are squirrel tracks, hard to judge the size though

As a third party reader of the thread, I think I’d rather make my own decisions on who I would want to mute rather than have to depend on the decisions of whoever started the thread. Though I’d like a mode or filter of sorts where I can see that lots of people have muted someone’s post or their entire account.

I’ll be interested in your thoughts on it.

Are you saying that the true details of the planets around the star depend on the conceptual framework of one or more schools of astronomers?

Gotcha. Yeah, nobody is locked into one particular future! If we set time aside - we could think about all those possible future versions of you coexisting in our minds, each with some probability of being the path you follow. Which will you choose? How will you choose? How much voice do you personally have in the selection?

I know you’re talking about something else here, but I’ll just add that the quantum effect is the same regardless of who the observer is, and my astronomy example is not a quantum effect, just an ambiguity in the little data my example indicates we have about that star and its planets. The result is that multiple different models, each with their own sets of assumptions, come to different conclusions about the planets around the star. I was just saying that the fact that several people form multiple different models of who you are, their differences are due to their limited data rather than you actually being multiple.

Hmm, you wouldn’t say that a specific star in the sky has not one planetary system but multiple planetary systems around it just because several astronomers can’t agree on which model best matches the observation data would you?

In other words, you are something, and the truth doesn’t care about their feelings [about you].

Why 1000? If you’re happy with small models and your phone can handle it, you can run some today, offline, on your phone

Your last point is correct. Though, there are different likelihoods of having one’s lack of true ownership made apparent, renting is higher on that scale than “owning”.

Can’t really speak to his specific situation, but on average we should expect the same property to cost more money and less work as a rental than as an “owned” property, right?

His list of things he saves money on are things that his landlord pays for him, using his rent money. The exception to that should only be temporarily market fluctuations that the property owner is financially incentivized to discover and rectify.

He’s not saving money on the items he listed (taxes, roofing, lawn care, etc.). Someone else is just paying them using his rent money.
