You want other opinions on Lemmy but don’t want to start a debate? That is a truly stupid position.

If you want to explore the nuances of pro/anti ai, go for it. I’m here with you. The person above made a point that the genie is out of the bottle. Maybe we could discuss focusing on making ai ethical rather that trying to catch smoke with our hands. Let’s talk about that. But bringing up a vague concept because you want diverse opinions but refusing to engage? That is seriously dumb.

The whole new math everyone was complaining about is trying to do this. Granted teachers are human and flawed so sometimes it has not been implemented well, but it is aimed in the right direction.

I am absolutely going to start responding to questions / statements about gender with this concept though.

“There are only two genders”

“Yeah, and there are only 3 states of matter! These woke scientists with their DEI alphabet soup of mattet B-E Condensates, and QSL, and DEGERATE MATTER! Its sick I tell you”

public indecency and indecent exposure may also require registration on the state’s sex offender list.

Good

I wasnt really aware of Moomin until meeting my Finnish sister in law, so I dont have the deep roots to the 90 cartoon.

So my sister in law just got back from Finland and gave my youngest an oversized Stinky Tshirt. She loves it and wore it all day.

Ive heard good things about that comic, less so about the TV series.

A dark comedy take is Creamerie. Definitely recommend.

aka how not to be an asshole.

Watching my kids take swim lessons I am super impressed how they KNOW how to teach. They have a slow steady progression of techniques that build on eachother. Same with gymnastics. Build strength, technique and confidence. No need to terrify kids.

In a similar vein, the social emotional learning they are teaching kids is great.

Its kinda weird that Trump is the alternative here. I did it too, but the fact that we are rolling over him breaking the 22nd amendment and then pretending like our votes matter at that point is kinda messed up when you step back.

On the other hand, not-trump is a pretty damn good quality.

Sad but true. I fucking hate that we are talking about this fucking asshole, but like that bullshit recall election in '21, I will hold my nose and vote for harm reduction. So fucking depressing. You think its gonna be Trump again? If he wants to stay in power, breaking the 22nd amendment, why have elections at all?

… less than 15%?

If all of his property were seized and given to homeless people, it would solve 13% of all Canadian homelessness overnight. Just find 7 more people like him and no-one in Canada would be homeless.

… what about the people who live in his properties now? Wont they be homeless if you give it to people? I’m not defending the guy, I was actually looking for the video to mock the dumbass for being a dumbass, but this statement doesn’t make any sort of sense.

edit

Looks like it wouldn’t effect Canadian housing at all since most of the housing they own is in the sunbelt

The point of the story is

After much struggle I got some geeky friends of mine to start a book club. I suggested this as the first book based on the hype. Almost no one finished it. When we got together to drink and talk, only two others bothered to dial in (It was during COVID and we are scattered), no one else finished it.

I dislike this book in so many different ways. It has some interesting Ideas and some surprising insights into the modern Chinese view of the revolution, but as an actual story? Ive read better fan fic.

the Dark Forest sucks just as hard if not more so. the premise of the story

isnt an original thought, but the author refuses to acknowledge it until the end, pretending like it wasn’t obvious the whole story. then he hand waves the problems he sets up (how do you deal with an alien technology so much more sophisticated than your own) pretending like the sophons just couldn’t deal with the threat. All this and the character doesn’t ever really develop. Things happen to him, but we don’t get any meat to his personality, just external bullshit.

I started listening to the third book because I am a gluten for punishment and I have a long commute, but it just meandered. If it was another author Id give them the benefit of the doubt, but I havnt been able to get through it.

I didn’t get to get a lot of comics as a kid. I got punisher because they tended to be more insular. I borrowed friends/relatives Carnage comics but never got to finish the run. I couldn’t get into fantastic 4 partly because there were so many iterations, and some of those I would get the lecture of ‘well you really gotta start here and this references this story line from 5 years ago’.

Punisher was simple action and tended to have shorter story lines.

its really not, we just have cowards who are afraid of the word regulation running the government.

Thats where my head went too. Does it mean something else?

My family home started off as a catalog house (not sears). My dad built it when I was 2. They, now I, have continued to change and add on to it over 45 years.
