Infinite possibilities does not mean all possibilities. It is possible - even probable, in most cases - to have an infinite set which does not contain all possible members.

As an example, the set of all even numbers and the set of all whole numbers are both infinite sets with completely different contents. Even accounting for the fact that the set of all whole numbers contains the entire set of all even numbers, the two will still differ by a factor of 50%.

I think that Vsauce explains this concept a little better than I can as I am not a mathematician, I merely watch their content on the internet.

But regardless I'm at the hospital for them to remove a teacup from my ass. I am not leaving this hospital until the teacup comes out of the asshole in question. They're going to be working closely in that area anyway, I would think checking for contusions would be standard practice. It's not like the relative insertion speed of this teacup is going to break my elbow as well, any injuries are going to be generally in the same zip code.

Anecdotal, but I've never once had a problem with any function of Firefox in the decade I've been using it. On the contrary it's been the most stable browser I've had the pleasure of using, orders of magnitude more reliable in all situations than Chrome or Opera ever was.

This post smells of astroturfing. There's been an awful lot of "why is Firefox so shit?" posts recently, now that Google is proving itself untrustable.

That makes perfect sense and 2 seconds of thinking about it probably would have led me to that conclusion. Thanks for the clarification.

It was me. I was the smartest kid in my class for most of school. Then I dropped out of college and now I fix cars for a living.

Not saying that's a bad thing, the world needs mechanics and I'm paid well enough to live, but the sense of lost or wasted potential is overwhelming.

Carcinisation. Presumably rooted in the Cancer crab constellation.

Plenty of people knew who she was before. You didn't, because you don't pay attention to international human rights struggles.

These guys have like five political parties duking it out, I wish this is what America had to look forward to. It would be a step up from two-party FPTP.

I've seen a lot of people carrying all that in their phone case, where they can conveniently lose every single scrap of personal information at once.

Well, sure hope you haven't done a lot of existing in public lately, because damn near everything out there has my tax dollars in it, and I'd appreciate you not abusing them. Get off my roads, get out of my schools, get out of my parks, unless you're paying into them.

Also, keep an eye out for the nice men knocking at the door. They'll be there soon with some questions, I'm sure.

And that's fair, I guess in that sense it is a true paradox. It just appears a little different in theory and in practice - the theory is the paradox, the practice is not.

Sorry, calling out that it's a social contract is a bit of a knee-jerk response for me, after years of having people whip out the paradox of tolerance as some kind of "gotcha, LIBS!!!" because being tolerant of unfamiliar lifestyles doesn't mean I won't punch a nazi when it's relevant. And that's poorly understood. My rights end where yours begin, and vice versa, but if you start actively infringing on the rights of others and souring that contract, it is our duty as righteous citizens to put you back in your box. Sometimes that means "hey knock it off asshole", sometimes that means hunting down bigots and deleting their kneecaps. Depends what you're guilty of and where.

The "paradox" of tolerance isn't a paradox, it's a social contract. If you do not abide by the terms of the contract, you are not protected by it. It's that simple.
