Preferences

Preferences don't matter... But everything is predetermined by internal mechanisms that are outside of your control...
Hym "Well, no. If everything is predetermined then all of your decisions are predicated on your preferences. You literally can't decide to choose in opposition to your preferences. So, if determinism is true than it's the only thing that matters."

Preserved Causality Theory

A hypothetical framework proposing that faster-than-light (FTL) travel does not necessarily imply time travel or causality violation. Contrary to conventional physics (where FTL equals time travel via relativity), Preserved Causality Theory suggests that causality is more fundamental than light speed limits—that there's a deeper structure ensuring causes precede effects regardless of velocity. This could involve privileged reference frames, quantum non-locality extended to macroscopic scales, or novel spacetime geometry that allows FTL without temporal paradoxes. The theory opens the door to interstellar travel while keeping grandma safe from accidental erasure. It's the dream of every sci-fi fan who wants warp drive without the headache of meeting your own grandfather.
"But Einstein said FTL equals time travel!" they protested. "Preserved Causality Theory," the warp drive engineer replied, "suggests Einstein was right about light but wrong about causality being tied to it. We're going to Alpha Centauri in a week, and we'll be back before we left—no, wait, we'll be back after we left. Causality preserved. Probably." The theory remains unproven, but so does faster-than-light travel itself."

Preserved Causality Theory

A framework proposing that causality is fundamental and conserved—that even in extreme conditions (FTL travel, time dilation, quantum weirdness), cause-effect relationships are preserved. Preserved Causality suggests that causality isn't just a feature of our spacetime but a conserved quantity, like energy or momentum. You can stretch it, bend it, maybe even warp it—but you cannot break it. FTL doesn't mean time travel; it means we don't yet understand how causality is preserved at those speeds.
"They said FTL means time travel—therefore impossible. Preserved Causality Theory says: maybe causality is conserved, like energy. We don't know how FTL preserves it, but that doesn't mean it can't. The theory buys time for engineers: causality isn't fragile; it's fundamental."

Weaponize Preferences

(1)
When women for weaponize your personal preference when it comes to relationships just to make a personal attack

(2)

Criticizing a man for having preferences that conform to society's Beauty standard
Me

"I only like dark skin chicks"
She
"Empowerment you're a true brother"

Me
"I only like light skin chicks"

She
"You hate yourself and your mother"

Women's sexual preference

just segregation/sexism/racism on a lipstick
Let me bring examples that happen in my school... (to prevent lawsuits and snoopings, I will avoid mentioning class and student names)

so in my first class, some are quite enjoyable to talk to even the hot ones, others will try to end the conversation

and in my second class, ESPECIALLY my 2nd class.. some girls i have to initiate with and they even try to reject me by looking into their phones and usually not initiating with me.. but a select few of them still like to talk to me.. today there was a cutie who called my name out (she sat behind me and i felt shocked) and she asked me if i had a book that was needed for homework.. i told her yeah and gave her the book because she said she needed to take shots of it.. it was 2 mins and she gave the book back to me.. but the other cutie and i didn't talk to each other at all today

aaanddd in my third class, there was a cutie who i sat next to and i was focusing on the computer as we worked on something, i didn't talk to her but i did notice her rubbing her legs in her sweats and she switched to another spot... HOWEVER ANOTHER CUTIE (whom I just found out had her bf and her posted on social media, lol) kept on smiling at me and i finally decided to talk to HER, and we still talk and she like plays with her hair on the occasion.. lol

Why do SOME women (even the sexy ones) prefer to talk to me while others (ESPECIALLY the sexy ones) require I talk to them

Women's sexual preference is just segregation/sexism/racism on a lipstick

Pro-pet romantic preference

Aka. P.P.R.P.; When an individual is only romantically attracted to people who wants and or has pets
Vanessa is only interested in dating people who have pets because she believes it shows they can handle some responsibility, are compassionate, and considerate. She has a pro-pet romantic preference.
