I also used to live in PA. Less than a year. I get more polical texts and calls from them than I do from my home state now

I got an email that said to keep an eye out for another email lol. Glad I’m one step ahead of everyone else

Doesn’t it depend on the content? Textbook vs tabloid magazine/ educational video vs top 10 celebrity meltdowns. I don’t see how one medium is inherently better than the other.

They are claiming not to train AI using your videos/info theirselves. I don’t think it’s misleading just because other people can scrape that info.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
I stand corrected!
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
I agree. I’m not trying to say no one made art in 10000 bc. I’m just saying the opportunities became more abundant for people to focus most of their time in life on it in more recent times.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 3 weeks ago:
I’m not an expert on the subject, but i didn’t see anyone else mention time as a factor. For a long time humans were simply too busy trying to survive. Once civilizations started coming around along with extremely wealthy and powerful people, then more time for leisure, art, and science came. Some of the extremely wealthy people of the past hired artists, mathematicians, scientists, musicians, etc to just live with them and study full time. The expectation was that they would share their work.
- Comment on Ahoy me hearties 4 weeks ago:
I’m in a class right now that requires a DMR locked live service textbook. I can only access it as long as I am connected to the internet. I live where 2 back to back hurricanes just hit so I expected to not have power or internet and wanted to copy some of the text from the textbook into a txt file. However, the DRM detects the copy/paste usage and limits the ability to only copy like 100 words. After a quick search I found out the dumb-asses that created this textbook site put all of the text in <p> tags in the plain html doc.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #3 - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint 1 month ago:
Splinter Cell is another that is stealth based. It can be much more tedious than ghost recon, but has a lot more options for being stealthy.

I had to poop really bad the other day. I had to make a run for it and didn’t have time to grab my phone first. I was in and out in like 2 minutes!

I thinks it’s weird when people choose to make their online profiles open to the public then get upset when people view their content.

Elden Ring censors the word finger
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 2 months ago:
I may have to try it again some day. I thought the story and world was interesting and engaging. I played without guides and despite trying to explore and do everything while following the main story line, I soon found myself extremely underleveled to enemies. I thought it was hilarious that each person in the game is assigned a color based on their role in the colony so sometimes you meet someone who is introduced a being “a black”
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 2 months ago:
I really loved playing ps2 military shooters like SOCOM and Conflict Desert Storm. It would be fun to see how those games would be made today.

- Comment on History is written by the victors 4 months ago:
I agree with that 100%! I still think it’s weird that we national holidays to celebrate slave owners, regardless of what good things they did that have no relation to their owning of slaves.
- Comment on History is written by the victors 4 months ago:
My schools and textbooks weren’t shy about the acts of evil that were committed, but somehow found ways to speak highly of those involved in said acts

It’s not like she’s forcing anyone to listen. I agree that she’s a moron, but I don’t understand the celebrities shouldn’t have freedom of speech take.

I don’t use TikTok but wasn’t it heavily criticized for censoring pro-Hong Kong content?
- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 10 months ago:
That’s like saying Twitter isn’t social media because its a microblog. Lemmy is definitely social media. We have profiles, can add each other as friends, send private messages, etc. It’s not structured the same as most other social media websites, but it is social media
- Comment on What mushrooms are considered "magic mushrooms"? 1 year ago:
I don’t know much about it, but supposedly Vikings used mushrooms to induce rage and hysteria before going into battle. It possibly triggered or heightened PTSD.
- Comment on Surgeons in New York announce world's first eye transplant 1 year ago:
The article said that the patient was happy to help pave the way for more successful transplants. I at least hope it was cost free on his end since it seems like it was mostly a learning opportunity for the doctors.

That’s what we thought, but when we asked to keep the bullet we were told it was reduced to ash with everything else.

There’s an episode of Nathan For You where he tries to test if a pizza oven will cremate a body but he gave up after a few hours lol
