Paradox of determinism.
The illusion of free-will is a vestigial result of memetic evolution. The universe operates fine without free-will.

Paradox of determinism.
Captain Falcon, in your initial post, why does K need to predict buying the wrong ticket at all? If he can predict the lottery numbers before buying a ticket, why does he predict himself buying the wrong ticket and then need to "change the future". Surely he would have predicted the lottery numbers before buying the wrong ticket, so if he sees himself buying the wrong ticket there's a reason for that. The only thing absurd here is you creating a scenario in which a person with perfect predictive power makes an incorrect prediction that forces a choice to be made using free-will. That is the basis of your scenario - a man who can predict the lottery numbers predicting himself buying the wrong ticket and then making a new prediction where he buys a different lottery ticket. It's a myopic view of determinism and the absurdity is imposed entirely by you.
If K knows what he's going to do, he's going to do that whether he likes it or not. He doesn't have a choice. There is nothing absurd about that. You're introducing absurdity in the form of free-will; presupposing free-will, in fact, to create absurdity where there isn't any. If K predicts DX, he's going to do DX whether he likes it at the time or not. Events will transpire in such a way that when the time comes to buy the ticket, he will buy the losing ticket. He might even have a good reason for it that will justify his "choice" within the illusion of free-will.

Paradox of determinism.
You're essentially saying "what if K doesn't act in the way originally determined by D", but "D" would only be "D" if it predicted the way he was going to act. You're presupposing free-will by saying K could do anything other than buy the ticket predicted by D. This is circular logic to justify the illusion of free will on your part, not a paradox on the part of determinism.

If the outcome is "future Y" but K predicts "future X", then K wasn't taking into account his own actions and the value for D is not what you purport it to be.
K's decision-making processes are as much deterministic as anything external to his being. If he had taken those into account, he would have accurately predicted the future he was to induce.

They're alright. Pretty sure I have a cassette with their stuff on it somewhere.
Rain.
And city smells. Like the... smell of food from the restaurants, mixed with cigarette smoke and the smell of car exhaust. All with the hint of nature from the couple trees and patches of grass you find in urban environments. That whole concoction of scents and aromas makes me happy.

Everybody hates JoeRell...
He's definitely one of the most exasperatingly terrible users to have made the DH migration, but I don't hate him. He's like a yippy little dog that thinks he's a wolf. It's almost cute, but mostly just a mild nuisance. *shrug*

The Incredible Cock!
Pix? Will verify whether or not it's incredible.
They're all pretty terrible, but in order from worst to least bad: sexual, psychological, physical. Sexual abuse turns kids child molesters. Psychological abuse turns kids into serial killers and rapists. Physical abuse turns kids into violent assholes. And all of them can emotionally ruin a person. 🤔

When porn was formal.
Those were the Golden Ages, they were. Men in black tie, women in the most wonderful dresses... all of them headed down to the local pornographic film establishment. Waiters and waitresses catered to their every epicurean whim as they sat in the theater and were treated to the finest food, the finest drink, and the finest horse cock ever to grace the sticky silver screen. I miss those days. Pornography has somehow gained a reputation for being "seedy", "immoral", and "gross". Things truly were more enlighted back in our day... in the days of formal pornography viewing.

Would you eat human?
(I'm a fat fuck, of course I'd eat human if I was offered. I probably wouldn't even ask if it was ethically obtained if someone offered it to me.)

Would you eat human?
I didn't grow up in a place where that was socially acceptable, so no. I wouldn't. A hypothetical person who you're calling "me" but who clearly isn't me because they weren't shaped by the same experiences as I was would probably do it though. Sure.
But in this reality, where I'm actually me? Still no, you freak. I bet you would. I'm a NORMAL girl trying to live a good, NORMAL life. I would never do anything like that, because I'm not some kind of fucked up freak like you clearly are you sicko. I can't believe you'd even ask that. So gross.
I believe everything at least a little bit.
