Ima do brussel sprouts on garlic bread just to make you mad.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 6 days ago:
Brussel sprouts literally have become less bitter over the last few decades, but depending on where you get yours they might still be using older variants. Maybe try a different source?
I literally just clean mine, cut them in half & remove stems, toss them with olive oil & salt & pepper, then roast them cut-side down. Perfect every time.

That doesn’t even make sense. If anything it would obviously be Baseball players.
- Comment on Bears Cave 1 week ago:
I assume so. Just compare the amount of resources both parties are able to invest in PR - if the Romans had defeated them, you’d have heard by now.
- Comment on Tiger Predators 1 week ago:
Depends where they are.
If they replace the ears? Goofy but harmless.
If they replace the tail? Run for your life, that’s the equivalent of a full horde of monkeys on steroids.

Well, not entirely… One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.

- Comment on Trump cosplaying 3 weeks ago:
When he went to the bathroom earlier to do the mud pie… he must have used too small of a slice of toilet paper when he wiped, and he got mud pie on his tiny hands, and then he touched the fries, and then someone ate the fries, and now they are sick off of his mud pie.

So you’re saying we just have to add a “horse farm” minigame that has to be played every time the units are used?

- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 1 month ago:
No, it’s not just about stalkers, it’s about harassment in general. But even if it were, even stalkers are still people and don’t work fundamentally different.
Feel free to show any research proving me wrong, but unless you find any, the reasonable position is “humans work the same on this topic as on others”.
- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 1 month ago:
I know, but it still didn’t fully remove it.
Sure, but it doesn’t have to be fully removed to have an effect.
The thing is that there really is no price, nor was there ever one. Your suggestion that you think there is demonstrates that the way blocking worked gave people dangerously wrong ideas.
Sorry, but you don’t get to define how humans work. There is a price, because friction reduces the likelihood of people following through. You might not want to believe this to be the case, but please read studies on the topic - it’s just how humans work. You don’t get to dismiss negative effects because you don’t believe in them.
- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 1 month ago:
Twitter massively reduced visibility for logged-out users, so just logging out doesn’t help, you have to log into a different account. This additional fraction reduces the amount of harassment a lot. Not sure that being “more honest” is worth the price, especially when an info box could achieve the same without making harassment easier.

Because it’s not yet a child. It has the potential to become one, but it isn’t yet. Seriously, you can’t be daft enough not to understand the difference.

I love it. Finally, I remember what these pictures felt like before I knew they were bullshit. It’s a certain mysticism that was missing.

- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
If you can’t reject, they either don’t need the pop-up, or they’re not in compliance with the law. Either way it’s in no way the fault of the lawmakers.
- Comment on I just wanted to take a moment to enjoy how clean the web can be 2 months ago:
It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.
- Comment on YouTube creator sues Nvidia and OpenAI for ‘unjust enrichment’ for using their videos for AI training 2 months ago:
There’s a simple argument: when a human studies Van Gogh and develops their own style based on it, it’s only a single person with very limited output (they can only paint so much in a single day).
With AI you can train a model on Van Gogh and similar paintings, and infinitely replicate this knowledge. The output is almost unlimited.
This means that the skills of every single human artist are suddenly worth less, and the possessions of the rich are suddenly worth more. Wealth concentration is poison for a society, especially when we are still reliant on jobs for survival.
AI is problematic as long as it shifts power and wealth away from workers.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
Yes, which means that issues stay open for 5+ months, with absolutely no communication from the dev. Every time you have to pray that they didn’t abandon the app, and that they will come back and fix your issue.
This wouldn’t be a problem if they communicated more often or did smaller releases. And it was fine when I paid something like 2€, but it’s no longer fine when paying 20€.
