I think there does come a point where stupidity and malice are basically the same thing.
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 1 week ago:
I think people just don’t like being told what to do. Like, there are a lot of behaviors you can trace back to someone just being personally aggrieved that they ought to change anything.
That said, if anyone else is reading, the em dash is a clue that you use to diagnose with—you don’t have to stop using it.
- Comment on Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice. 2 weeks ago:
I keep repeating it over and over until it’s committed to memory.
But do you expect different results when doing this? I think the point of that would be to get the same result every time.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, they do. You never heard of a crime of opportunity?
Why do you lock your doors at night? You know that anyone who wants to get in can just rake the god damn lock, right? Most people don’t want to get into your house, and the ones who do will be able to enter anyway, so what pathology drives you to waste your time like this?

Haha, no problem, friend. :p

I’m aware the quoted person agrees with me. I’m responding to a common public sentiment.

We don’t learn that math because it [isn’t] practical for adult life
I love this argument because it’s like a guy who catches and eats raw fish saying that we don’t need fire. Like, man, you’re not even trying to use it, though.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 4 weeks ago:
You are reading waay to much into that title, man. Their claim is it doesn’t make people more misogynistic. There are still tons of reasons to care about how media conducts itself.
Or do you imagine it’s just a neutral thing that the whites-only crowd would make it impossible to be a black actor again?

I mean what I said. Working unaided begets strength.
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 5 weeks ago:
Damn, it’d be crazy if I actually said that.
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 5 weeks ago:
Why would I?
- Comment on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline 5 weeks ago:
You would learn quite a lot creating it from scratch.

I don’t always use the calculator.
Do you bench press 100 lbs and then give up on lifting altogether?
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 5 weeks ago:
I skimmed this, but only because my brain is huge and I already know everything you’re saying, and also I’m busy trying to locate a methane leak in my kitchen. Even so, I think you explained this fine. Don’t worry about it. Rest easy and get yourself calm. :)

First, keep your left foot firmly planted! Cock your right foot up like you’ve seen Michael Jackson do.
Next, spin your left foot around 360 degrees while jiggling your right foot like your heater’s on the fritz!

How do you get professional without trying.
Oh, that’s right, you practice on the banana. - Comment on Use this science wisely. 1 month ago:
I can see into his head, it’s pretty funny.

Sorry, my pet fish wrote that. He is an extreme, anti-air radical terrorist.

Ha, I had no idea these existed. If anyone would, he seems like the type to, though.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 month ago:
once something erotic has merit beyond the erotic it often loses its porn classification in the public eye.
This definitely poses a problem. Er… depending on what we think a problem is, I guess. But the stuff I’m thinking of, it would be very hard to do this to.

Have you ever tried to breathe in a moving car?
Too much air is bad for you, dingus.

people dismiss it for the sexual focus.
I stand by this: porn is a largely untapped medium for insanely stupid comedy.
I know we’ve all seen lemon stealing whores and whatnot, but like, we could have so much more than we do.

The current predatory system will raise the limit on the 40 work week if they’re allowed to. 60. 80. You might not even get a weekend. Unions fought for your weekend.
AI does not fundamentally change this relationship. It is the same predatory system.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 month ago:
It might. Like, maybe a little?
Oddly, you’re the one kind of lacking nuance here. I’d be willing to oppose the Internet in certain contexts. It certainly feels less and less useful as it’s consumed by AI spam anyway.

What kind of selfish, emotionless psychopath do you have to be to legitimately think that libraries being unused, forgotten, and closed is a good thing?
You ever thought about this: maybe if you visited your library in person more often, you’d actually have more friends.

Fox News is dangerous. It turns your grandpa into a lunatic.
Hm… how do we square that one.

Literacy what? Just let me watch something funny.
This is like the most pro-illiteracy thing I’ve ever read.
Do you feel you’ve become more stupid?
My muscles were weaker until I started training. As it turns out, the modern convenience that allows me to sit around all day doesn’t actually make me stronger by itself.
It is people that are increasing inequality.
Yes, what if the billionaires simply chose not to, hm? Have I ever thought of that? Probably not, I’m very stupid.
