“ Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision.”

I do wonder about that. Odds of winning the Powerball are 1 in 292.2 million. So theoretically if you spent $292 million on a $1B powerball payout (and no one else won), you be guaranteed to win and should come out well ahead because you’d have other tickets that would win downstream amounts. It’s just having that initial capital and surprised we haven’t seen someone try to invest that amount.

(Thought experiment time) So at what point, if ever, does a universe separate from its creator? Think about Star Wars. There have been a large number of derivative works by multiple authors.

Anecdotally, everyone I’ve talked to about it doesn’t care. They don’t like she’s a TERF and some even condemn her for it, but every single person I’ve talked to separates the world of Harry Potter from her. It basically has a life of its own and they couldn’t care less about JKR now, that’s what I’ve been able to surmise of people’s view of it now. It’s like having racist parents but not being labeled as one because you’re a separate entity.

I’m actually switching sides in our state primary just to vote for her and not Trump. I’ll accept whoever is on the democratic side as I’ll vote for them in the general election so I want my vote to go to offset any going to Trump in the primary.
