I've been thinking about whether one infinity can be bigger than another, and Minecraft seems like an interesting way to illustrate the question.

In Minecraft, both the Overworld and the Nether are effectively infinite in terms of the distance you can theoretically explore, but they have a special relationship: traveling 1 block horizontally in the Nether corresponds to traveling 8 blocks horizontally in the Overworld.

For example, if you travel 100 blocks in the Nether and then build a portal, you would theoretically end up around 800 blocks away from your original location in the Overworld, assuming the portals link up correctly.

This makes the Nether seem like a smaller version of the Overworld. You can cover much more distance in the Overworld by traveling the same number of blocks in the Nether, even though both dimensions are considered infinite.

So here's my question: Could two infinite spaces have different sizes of infinity, or does the 8:1 ratio simply represent a difference in scale rather than a difference in the actual size of infinity?

More specifically, is there a mathematical sense in which the Nether could be considered a smaller infinity than the Overworld, or would both still have exactly the same size of infinity regardless of their different scales?

Besides that, I kinda need help with myself. You see, I’ve been kinda struggling with my identity, and I think/know i’m trans. I told people earlier that I was non-binary, because people KNEW I did struggle with my identity before I would kinda foreshadowed it when I didn’t really know who I was, because I always told myself it’s fine to be different. So my main waypoint here is: How should I come out to my parents?

I’m taking my 11th grade past/nmqst THIS THURSDAY, and I desperately need studying or tips and tricks help. I got a 1140 with barely any studying last year and a 970 with zero studying (and major concussion) the year prior to that. my mom has said where I’m at now won’t qualify me for the scholarships I need if I want to go to a good college, let alone out of state (I cannot be here anymore), any and all advice is loved and wwelcomed!!!!!!

But of an odd post but I’ve noticed that a majority of the people in my life (including some family) have always looked down on me. I try to do the right thing all the time and I never understood why I’m treated so bad.

I treat women with respect and I get dirt thrown in my face, I try to be friends with guys I see often and they just bully me for things I can’t do rather then what I can do.

I was bullied and picked on all throughout elementary and middle and half way through high

I think the only reason i seriously haven’t done anything about it is because my grandfather always taught me that getting revenge or taking out your anger on another person makes you no better then the person that treated you poorly in the first place, I’ve always just bottled it up and let it out later by myself with some sort of task.

I also realize that I have a deep rooted hatred for people that I continue to struggle with, it sometimes pains me to do the right thing simply because on one half I know it’s right to be a kind person and offer help but the thought of how many times I’ve asked for help and gotten nothing sickens me

I just want to know what’s wrong with me? Is it the way I look? Is it the way I talk? And another thing, I hate when people in general talk to me about dating, I’ve grown so distant from the concept but yet crave it at the same time. It’s always a “you deserve someone who sees your worth” but I have no idea how long that’s gonna take. And then when i actually try to put myself out there the girl I like has a friend with her that will get in my way and just start making fun of me.

I hate people in general but they’re all only human. That’s been my reasoning for a long time, hate quietly while still being a good person to them in hopes that atleast one or two people will see me as something other than an inconvenience.

I don’t know what to do honestly, I’m so tired of this really but I could never even consider ending my own life because I feel like that’s a waste of life especially because I’m not super religious so I don’t know what comes after which is pretty scary.

If anyone has any recommendations I’m willing to hear it. Not asking for sympathy comments only i genuinely just wanna know if there’s any hope left before I just go my entire life despising everyone I talk to

How would that even work. I'm Franco Ontarian should I get reparations from Anglo Ontarians. Should the Irish, Polish, Sords, Bosnians, Bulgarians, Armenians, Berber ect get reparations. What about the black people who sold slaves, what about Liberians. How far back does this go should Arabs pay for their expansion and also get paid for the british and french mandates. Should Eastern Germans get paid for the hardships they had under the Soviets. It can't be as simple as white people pay black people seeing how many white groups in many countries were historically oppressed. Should the British get rewarded for ending the legal slave trade. Is it just gonna be people who are descendents of oppressors pay in that case how do we decide how much should be paid and to who specifically. Many people like me could make the argument that I'm part of a historically oppressed group so should I need to pay nothing even though my ancestors also could be argued as oppressors. The whole thing is a huge headache that makes no real sence wonce you think about it more then all black people deserve money and all white people should pay it. Why can't we just have a system were people are rewarded for what they do specifically. No one's gonna read this, but thank you if you did.
