Interestingly, appears on forums for me (using Chrome on Windows 10), but cannot be placed in the URL bar or the Google Search bar. A bit of googling identifies it as Unicode Character U+2028. It is SUPPOSED to be a kind of New Line character, and not be displayed, but apparently Xenforo 2 doesn't read it properly.
Trigger warning: out-of-context quote
It was at that moment, that Hestia realised, that Queen Administrator was the well-behaved child of the family.
At least those are pretty much used as toxins. Alcohol's toxicity is more-or-less a convenient by-product.
I love how, in this Queen Administrator is actually better at being a human being than Taylor is. Think about that for a moment, before screaming in existential horror.

With the crazy amount of those expensive gems, and the ability to make friends and name a price, any reasonable payment to the swear jar is utterly insignificant to them.

...gods. And humans-and-demihumans. And shards. Um. Yeah, that seems global, QA. (amused)
She continues to get better at humaning, but there are still so many occasions where we see just how inhuman QA remains. It's okay to be broken because I'll get to spend time fixing! Yay!
And it continues to be adorable both how she's getting used to it now being "her body" and also how excited/happy that has made her.
It is absolutely awesome to see this moving, again, Alivaril; thank you so much for the new chapter =D

Your mind is software. Program it.
Your body is a shell. Change it.
Death is a disease. Cure it.
Extinction is approaching. Fight it.

This is the purpose of sentient life. To solve these problems.
Just like the purpose of ALL life is to thrive and spread beyond extinction.

I don't often swear in a public forum, but I'm breaking one out for this moment.
Fuck yeah.

Ah yes, another source of entropy-breaking energy source. Fucking yes.

I've always considered cussin' to be like using exclamation points in your writing - one every now and then is handy to show emphasis, but too often or clustrered too much and they lose their impact, and stop making sense entirely with more than two or three in a row. So what I'm saying is, give it a rest already gang, the joke's getting old.
And therefore, as Terry Pratchett taught us, five in a row is a clear sign of insanity.

You mean the "she was never my mother" part? Because Hestia already knew taylor used to be human.
I think thats only for pre-approved examples.
For example Oranos can approve the use of the stuff for war games, but may not be able to approve gods to use their arcana to build a new house or something.
So basically VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
Well it would be if QA hadn't found pseudo-infinite energy, which now complicates how shard society kind of works all-together.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. When I said:
I meant it. Introducing energy ex nihilo might stop the big freeze (heat death) but now you have a big rip/crunch scenario on your hands. Once you've introduced energy into the system you can't destroy it, the only way to remove it is to convert it into matter. Too much energy and the universe starts expanding so fast it overwhelms both the strong force and gravity and tears matter apart, too much matter and gravity causes the universe to collapse. Here's a video explaining things:
Even if you somehow stop all 3 and create some miracle equilibrium we still have this tinsy little problem that the Higg's field might be metastable and a sudden surplus of energy in the system might just set it off. And then this happens:
So yeah plenty of things to deal with before we have a perpetual universe.

The key technology is Magical Girls. Dispelling Dark Energy with the love in their hearts is their stock in trade, and while many are rather dense, as long as you're not stuck with deconstructionist ones they're also good at keeping things light, because their skulls are proven resistant to vacuum collapse. There you go, all better!

I get the feeling you didn't actually watch the vacuum decay video. Quantum vacuum has nothing to do with an actual vacuum.
Wasn't claiming the universe was perpetual yet.
Was just saying this could be a huge shake-up in how shards work, and how much energy they can use, and may induce more power struggles.
+ Any changes that regular interactions with magic makes.
In terms of perpetuity since you brought it up.
No idea about the big rip/crunch scenario, because I'm not sure how that reacts with the heat death of the universe thing.
Another possible solution is that the entities (or their replacements) start creating new universes once the old ones start getting too big. Since if you have unlimited energy that may become viable.
In terms of vacuum decay, I might be wrong but doesn't that have to do more with energy density?
If it has to do with energy density then the entity's probably already know about it / how to do it and how to avoid it.
Also Vacuum decay only effects 1 universe at a time, and worm has nearly infinite amount of alternative universes in its multiverse (more than the amount of universes the entities use).
Also in terms of vacuum decay, from my understanding it doesn't destroy the universe, it just changes the laws of physics in that universe in an ever-expanding sphere. Its possible the entities can make things to use this new space.
Also isn't vacuum decay still purely theoretical?
And that assumes they can't magic up solutions.

I know what vacuum decay is, but it makes for a better joke.

Shard can manipulate gravity, they can just throw more energy at it making it safe.
I think they can do it, they already shown to create pocket dimensions, scale it up enough and you can get a universe.
Maybe their breaker states (at least some of them) are fine manipulation of those energy densities, contained to create a patches of space of modified physics.
Should it be true of course (as it is theoretical).
I'm not sure if those 'pocket dimensions' are ever confirmed to actually be pocket dimensions, or if they are just small amounts of space in another universe which the entities make a barrier around.
Could be.
I also should of mentioned above that even if I'm mistaken and its not something to do with energy density (and something the entities can figure out how to do themselves)
Then one of 2 scenarios likely happened anyway.
1. They have already encountered the effect, and have some way of dealing with it
2. They have never encountered the effect, in which case the vacuum decay is never confirmed to actually exist and the entities act like it doesn't.
