Some games just aren’t meant for you and thats okay. For example I spent a few hours playing civ enough to understand the experience it offers. I did not enjoy a single moment of its gameplay or strategy layers at any point. Apparently its a good enough game for many people to put hundreds/thousands of hours into and buy again every few years+dlc. I just didn’t pick up what it was putting down.

the owner of the picture themselves possibly put on the tie on their cat used to thst kind of thing and lied about it for an internet caption meme. The facial expression of cat looks blurry but relaxed tbh its obviously well fed and groomed.

TFW you have so much brain-rot that cerebrospinal fluid starts leaking out and pooling under your mattress

Been there done that. Got some good gigs as a mildew-man but eventually the mycelium grafting into my neurons was starting to cause motor function issues so I had to give that life up. Good times though it felt like microdosing on cube shrooms 24/7 overall I’d do it all again if I had the chance.

One of my more iconic acting roles you might recognize :

Some other conenders are throwup/bile and snot/mucus

Our existance is an expression of art. Each of us is an individual being whos experiences in totalitt act as threads weaving together the tapestry of life. Every emotion expressed is paint, every action and consequence the brush.

The universe and everything born from it are machinations of creative whimsy and play. Being alive and choosing to continue your complicated existance is one of the highest forms of divine art.

The legal term for a lethal ‘oopsie’ is manslaughter I’m pretty sure.

Ive always found it a little strange that the law and insurance companies and human society in general is hyperfocused with finding a scapegoat to blame and persecute. People die sometimes just because of shit happening outside of anyone’s control but we’ve gotta dig for someone to pin blame on. Someones parachute didn’t work right that day? Its the parachute makers or the safety inspectors or the airplane owners who are to blame and not random unavoidable small chance of statistical failure rates. Gotta sue sue sue!

No there is no way to definitively say whether the image you are looking at is AI generated. There are many tells like hands, background objects bleeding into each other, lighting shadows, and a general ‘vibe check’ is often good enough. But there is no secret watermark or pattern unique to all stable diffusion generated images or anything like that.

The mouse utopia experiment but on humans. Ive always seen a subset of people who bemoan having to work or develop specialized skills to contribute to society. They want everything provided for them so their whole life can be leasure and comfort. A lot of socialism and communism selling points tend to be about having social services and things provided to you.

I’m interested to see the long term affects of people in a society where EVERYTHING is provided for you all the time. Every survival concern, sexual pleasure, every base urge, every whim and desire. For decades and decades and decades. Would it be a genuine good for society or would it be a monkeys paw situation?

Ive always hypothesized that any human society that attempts this will quickly erode into something similar to the mouse utopia.

Without any environmental pressures or meaningful challenges to overcome a large portion of the population without strong internal drives will become lethally/suicidally lazy, apathetic, and narcicistic

I suspect theres a large amount of people who simply have zero internal drives to apply themselves to doing a thing unlesd they have to. without the pressure of survival in either a physical or economic way they would simply sit on their ass, jerk off, play games, and maybe groom themselves, for decades until they die. Merit and overcoming challenge are important aspects of drive and dopamine generation. You deprive a person of those things they become lethargic. If that sentiment proves itself true it will be a hard pill to swallow for a lot of ideologies.

Unethical questions:

Statistically speaking, how many people would escelate their wants to socially taboo depravities? How quickly?

How long on average would it take for pleasure to become less meaningful in the face of instant gratification? Is there a logarithmic function that charts this?

How many people on average decide to begin self harm out to seek novel sensations? How long until onset?

How many people choose to live out a full life vs taking the placebo cyanide capsule and being removed from experiment? What would their reasonings be?

Get a portable window air conditioner and do your best to insulate the room its in.

I die in a four way sesh-to-the-death match between snoop dog, cheech, Ricky from TBP and myself.

Cryptocurrency.

Kidding! Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I’m sure that will ruffle someone’s feathers for a fraction of a second.

Does vegan based meat/milk alternatives count as a technology sector? The moment we figure out a way to actually seriously imitate high quality steaks and 2% cow milk with it being indistinguishable and half the price I think that will hurt factory farming which is a bit of a domino effect that would lead to less co2 and methane produced, less agricultural effort wasted on feeding animals, that kind of thing.

Use IronFox, its based on fennec but with all Mozilla’s telemetry stuff ripped out and disabled.

@[email protected] theres no need for finding a replacement. The benefit of open source projects is that theres usually someone who forks the project and continues the legacy if its popular enough.

You are very fortunate github user agrhan forked your pass command based android password manager. Here’s a direct link to the apk snapshot while im at it.

This is maintenance-only meaning it only updates dependencies. So don’t expect new features. There might be some others more actively worked on, but this is the most popular and stable one.

In the future maybe take a moment to browse forks on the projects git page instead of just assuming the project is dead and running to a replacement.

Ah the old Schrodingers Dexter X The Good Place Crossover Episode Gambit, a decent argument. However I think it can be disproven through the axioms suggested through Zenos Jurrasic Park III X Terminator Clause.

To do good when nobody is looking and to not pride yourself or adknolwedge that you do it is very close to the concept of ‘real virtue’. False virtue is what most practice, doing good things to feel morally superior, or to brag about it on social media to look good in the eyes of others, or to earn brownie points with their god for a personal paradise afterlife as a reward, any good that these people do are not truly virtuous.

Anyone sharing their feel good stories here would be practicing false virtue out of definition. A truly good and virtuous person wouldn’t even recognize themselves picking up the trash or voulenteering the homeless shelter as ‘good’ actions or themselves as good people for doing them.
