Every week for the past 10 years a Youtube video has come out claiming we’ve found a galaxy that breaks all of our models and that it can’t possibly be that old. Then it goes into a circljerk about MOND vs whatever framework is juiciest that day.
Maybe it’s the math that fucking sucks. Maybe we keep LARPing that we understand the universe because it makes us feel better about our insignificance.
People who play TES games without even knowing who Kirkbride is don’t do so because they like the setting, they do so because the game was advertised to them and it’s trending on TikTok. Bethesda has been dickriding his lore for 20 years, and every installment just makes it worse instead of better because they can’t actually write metaphysics and philosophy that generate interesting worlds.
You can upload deck lists made by other people, and play against bots. You can automate the entire pipeline so that your input or creativity aren’t even required! Finally you can let reddit play card games for you, since you suck at the one thing they’re supposed to be about!
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
Not saying it’s an intelligent rule, in fact it’s a stupid rule. Like all rules. But it’s there.
Read my edit. Spez killed off RSS a few months ago. The only irrelevance here is that of your opinions.
He fought for information to be free by pirating JSTOR papers, and he was persecuted and prosecuted for it, and he killed himself (or did he? [vsauce music]).
… And now we have SciHub. Which is the same exact fucking thing as what he was trying to accomplish.
Also he was instrumental to the invention of the RSS protocol:
As a programmer, Swartz helped develop the web feed format RSS; the technical architecture for Creative Commons, an organization dedicated to creating copyright licenses; and the Python website framework web.py.
The same RSS protocol that spez completely killed off a few months ago. Aaron’s grave has been shat on so many times that it’s basically a latrine now. But the people who say “fuck spez” know none of this, and if they do, they’re cowards for not saying it out loud.
Peak lemmy lmfao. You know this site is dogshit so you know that without something even worse to serve as the comparison, you’re fucked beyond hope. “Honestly, as much as I’d like to see Hitler disappear, we do need him around to make this country look good.” aah take. Come the fuck on. Can you use logic that’s internally consistent for FIVE MINUTES?!
Instead of saying “fuck spez” like a drone, pivot to saying “remember Aaron” (so that people who don’t know about him can learn something new)
The fediverse LARPs so much about being inclusive and diverse but you’re constantly betraying your tribal nature. Own it. If you’re on the Good People Team, prove it with more than empty, hateful accusations OR substantiate those accusations beyond in-group signaling.
Because this place is fundamentally the same echo chamber as reddit, and it faces the same peer pressure. The only thing that changes is the handle on the usernames, and the only way to be different is to completely ignore the upvote system and say what you actually think instead of what you expect other people to upvote you for (good job, you let your own mind regress to the mean).
Unless your thoughts are as shallow as your words… are they?
Literally any centralized service that advertises privacy is either a honeypot or it’s going to become one eventually, as soon as the feds knock on the door of whoever hosts it.
Italy had Autistici/Inventati and Trump decided to declare them a terrorist organization and to threaten debanking. That’s what happens to anyone who doesn’t comply with the surveillance state. And apparently Trump has extrajudicial power over vassal states because why not?
dude at least it’s not japanese. Written japanese is easy to disambiguate, whereas spoken japanese is impossible to disambiguate to the point where the japanese themselves are trained to infer everything from context because everything they say is a homophone of everything else. And yet, despite being trained to do pragmatics since birth… they’re one of the most conformist peoples out there. Go figure.
Girls will sooner filter you out for not being tall enough than for smelling. If you smell but you’re their phenotype, they just call it musk. Anything is possible when you argue in bad faith. Now go work on yourself some more, possibly for a few years; and as far away from me as possible, while I flirt with someone I liked at first sight.
These are all the US and Chinese backdoors being finally discovered and everyone is in a panic when they should be celebrating lol Good. Bring the corporate internet down, it was better when it wasn’t full of normies and post-iPhone users anyway. When the demographics skewed technical and not performative. And bring the banks down too please. I literally don’t give one shit if the world burns because it’ll burn cooler than this hell we’re already subjected to. For once, we have a chance to enact change that isn’t “just vote lmaoo i’m so smart! i’m radical chic!” so bring it on
Social engineering is stupid people being stupid and then being surprised that their stupidity has consequences. Unless physical coercion is involved, like in the xckd comic about the wrench, then education is the fix here. I got my account stolen in Habbo once when I was a kid and I was never scammed again in my life.
You’re basically arguing that since people can burn themselves on the stove, that stoves are not as safe as ovens and that ovens are preferable. That’s bullshit, getting burnt is part of learning to respect the technology.
You’re the reason all those toys like Mattel’s VAC-U-FORM got castrated because some stupid kid got burnt once and the mom went nuclear, cucking all the other kids who wanted to learn how industrial manufacturing actually works.
I don’t need an institutional daddy to safeguard me from the consequences of my own actions. I need the floor to be there so I can smash my face on it and update my priors.
The point of sumo wrestlers being fat is to have enough mass so they don’t get pushed off the ring. It’s basically an evolutionary adaptation to the constraints imposed by the sport. I don’t know if they do weight classes there but regardless the slim sumo wrestler will always lose against the fat one.

IT’S NOT THE DEVIL IT’S GABE NEWELL
STEAM SKIMS 15% OFF OF EVERY MARKET TRANSACTION
30% OFF OF EVERY GAME PURCHASE
THOSE TRANSACTIONS ARE DENOMINATED IN FUN BUCKS THAT YOU ALREADY PAID TAXES ON
EVERY TIME AN ITEM CHANGES HANDS, THE FUN BUCKS DIMINISH AND VALVE KEEPS A FRACTION
YOU CAN’T TAKE OUT THE FUN BUCKS FROM THEIR CIRCUIT LEGALLY, BECAUSE IT’S LITERALLY A FUCKING CASINO
EVERY VALVE GAME IS A STORE FRONT FOR LITERAL FUCKING NFTS AND LOOTBOXES THAT CONTAIN NFTS
AND YOU GUYS KEEP SUCKING THE COCK OF A GUY WHO DOESN’T JUST OWN A YACHT BUT A YACHT COMPANY THAT HE OWNS BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE
It’s literally DIGITAL COIN CLIPPING
Reddit and fediverse users fellate a guy who owns a yacht company for checking a box in a linux distro, news at 11
So treating your wife well is feeding her fast food every two days, letting her smoke a pack a day, and having sex with her? Wanna hook up? I can do that. If you need more comfort I have a sofa
You joke but that logic actually makes the original phrase kinda moot now that I think about it. Because on the one hand you’re right, you need to understand hate to practice it. But on the other hand there’s no need to hate yourself in order to hate someone else. For example a victim of a violent crime has no need to hate themselves and is morally justified in hating their aggressor. So by that logic, there’s also no intrinsic need to love yourself in order to love others either. Surely loving yourself would make you more experienced at loving others but it’s not really a prerequisite like the phrase wants to make it…
The concern about AI stealing art relates to artists whose art is worth purchasing or reproducing, not to mspaint doodles. The problem is job security it’s not morals or anything of the sort.
The matter exists, I swear! She just goes to another school of thought. We communicate spookily over long distances.
