In 2003, Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom imagined a “technologically mature” civilization could easily create a simulated world. With simulated worlds far outnumbering the “real” world, the likelihood that we are in a simulation would be significantly higher than not. Remember, the simulations would be so good that you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a physical and a simulated world. Either the signals are being beamed directly into your brain, or we are simply AI characters inside the simulation. Already, millions of humans are chatting with AI characters, and millions of dollars are pouring into making AI characters more realistic.

☆ Being a wedding photographer inspired me to elope. We saved money, were less stressed, and got to do exactly what we wanted.

I always knew I wanted to elope, but had a traditional ceremony in my first marriage. From my experience, I became a champion of eloping and doing what you want — and had an elopement wedding of my own years later. He wanted a more practical approach to the wedding, where our friends and family could be there. In a traditional wedding, everything is on a timeline, and the couple rarely has time to be alone. Sometimes, family members can make you feel guilty for choosing an elopement over a traditional ceremony and reception.

Outside, the tornado had turned the farm’s 103-year-old barn to rubble and strewn debris across the fields for hundreds of yards. Patterson, the meteorologist, said the storm was like ones typically seen in Wisconsin in the late spring and summer. That comes after a 2018 study found that tornadoes were moving farther east, into states like Wisconsin. Conditions collided in Wisconsin late afternoon on Thursday creating the perfect conditions for tornadoes to form, Patterson said. Photos and video shot near Evansville, Wisconsin, that were posted on social media show a tornado with lightning flashing around it.

Samantha then asks to be put on speaker phone to pay her respects to the place. The call ends with Samantha still 3,500 miles away. Throughout the seasons, men and bistros came and went, most often within a single 22-minute episode. Each of the characters had an archetype to inhabit: flighty Carrie, career-minded Miranda, marriage-minded Charlotte, libertine Samantha. Samantha was a caricature of licentiousness, but Cattrall’s enthusiasm for the role — the husky voice, the double-dare-you smile, the symphony of sex noises — made her irreplaceable.

They are simply entering a five-year holding pattern that Aidan promises will go by in a silent snap. Yes, Wyatt needs steady, present parents right now, but this idea that his recovery will take precisely five years, and that they couldn’t still visit each other during that time, is contrived. The Season 2 finale doesn’t feel final at all. Instead, it feels as if each character were on the verge of becoming richer, more seasoned versions of themselves. Who would have imagined 25 years ago that the traditionalist Charlotte would become the most vocal feminist of them all?

Michael kept saying, “One of these days.”A couple years later, Bitsy was born, along with Nathan Lane’s character. Like Bitsy, you lost your husband, so the conversation with Carrie about grief at the salon presumably came from something of a real place. He also wanted Bitsy to be a little more than just a funny lady wearing fun clothes, skipping in and out of the girls’ lives. Then, a few scenes later, Bitsy sends Carrie the penis picture while Gloria Steinem is speaking. I’m telling you, there would be a lot fewer wars in the world if people were more sexually satisfied.

Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) was often cash poor because she spent her writer’s income on things like expensive shoes. At one point, she got into money trouble after a breakup and had to rely on her friend Charlotte (Kristin Davis) to bail her out. Let’s be clear: These women were always quite privileged — perpetually sipping pricey cosmopolitans in the greatest city in the world. But in the original series, they had to work for a living, and sometimes they had to worry about money. We see Miranda logging long hours in the office, Samantha courting prospective clients and Charlotte showing the latest art to potential buyers.

☆ Firefighters who risked their lives fighting wildfires were paid less than legal minimum by a federal contractor, investigators say
