Oh, I said nothing about honour! There’s being nice, and there’s being fair. I’m more for being fair than being nice, and as I see it, it’s fair to hit back. The difference is in the nuance of how I hit back. Why eliminate when immobilise would suffice, y’know?

Yeah, this person’s right! We should start making inflammatory AI videos, too! Dump that whole tanker ship in the fire, fuck it!

No. I am sorry, but no. The hate on Lemmy is not against AI as a technology, it is against how it is being used, how it is being peddled, how it is being shoved down everyone’s throats, and how much damage it’s doing to our environment (edit: and society, and art, and culture, and politics, and economy, and wellness, and overall desire to maintain a steady heartbeat!)

And, to your point about feelings not mattering, from what I’ve seen, most people (including myself) are exhausted! We are surrounded by people losing their shit left and right, bigotry, racism, hate in general are mainstream, Fascism is out, about, and in power, and it looks like we’re all forgetting that the planet is literally burning up again.

We are tired. Most of us have already been through enough shit as it is, we would want nothing more than to see the end of this string of “once in a lifetime” disasters, yet we understand that the easy way out means we’ll end up becoming exactly what’s ruining our lives right now. This isn’t just about winning, HOW we win is equally important, if not more so. Because that will set the tone for what would follow.

Grandma on a bad hair day.

Nooooo, it should’ve been mmeeee!😫

"Oh, of course! You see, it’s because my Social Security Number is… "

R… relish? Oh, good lord…

Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with muscle tension, maybe?:-? Your mentioning of relaxation clicked, maybe when we lay on our backs, our bladders/various sphincters relax and release?:-?

I, for one, can say for certain I am tensed up for pretty much the duration of my episodes of consciousness…

Literally a hoodie.

True, but I kinda’ add that to the “circuses” bit. Nobody said we have to be aware of the fact that it’s a circus!

This is how AI will take over… not through wars or competence, but by being better at bureaucratic forgeries…

Edit: well, I guess the apple never falls far from the tree, as it were! Wa-hey! We wanted to create the ultimate worker, but we’ve managed to create the ultimate politician instead=))

Bread and circuses. And the ever-present fear of bankruptcy. Doesn’t make sense? Yeah, no shit, tell us something new.

Every single time, yes! Every single damned time when I lay on my back, I have to get up and pee within 5 minutes tops… No small bladder, no UT issues, nothin’…

I swear I’ve never read, or seen, or otherwise perceived an ad for a book😐 This concept is so weird to me, I don’t think I’ve ever internalised the fact that there can, indeed, be ads for books.

I keep finding out about books the same way I used to: hearing/reading disjointed summaries, finding out the author was weird/nuts/literally a genius/all of the above and looking into their work, through bookworm friends who recommend literally everything they ever read and a couple of titles pop out. I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for book ads…

Edit: I mean, of course, books other than the Whatever About Whateverthefuck they used to peddle during the early AMs teleshopping broadcasts… I think we can all agree that teleshopping is a pocket dimension and not “real life,” as it were.

I mean… I only have a theory about it…

They really are, tho’…

Yeah, in that vindictiveness does not a good person make.

How about just be decent for the fuck of it? Why should we need reasons to be good people?

Edit: take classic Superman, for instance. That dude is good simply because he’s good. He’s the type of person who’d apologise if you walked into them and mean it, not because they’re a pushover, but because why the hell not.

Y’know, I always saw bears as the type who would shank you in the spleen when you aren’t looking. I don’t know why, their usual MO certainly goes against stealth assassin.

This does, indeed look like an omelette, but after about two months in the fridge.

I genuinely wonder what this guy’s rocking habitually. He seems very out of it, yet still adequately functional and autonomous, so it must be something nice.
