  It’s pretty clear that they meant “a constant factor in our daily lives”, you really don’t need to be this hostile.

  You’ve a winning argument, to be sure! Not sure where I quantified how much I think hollywood influences culture but okay.

  FWIW, obviously popular media both is influential and responds to culture. “Hollywood” really shouldn’t be treated as a singular entity if we’re trying for a semblance of legitimacy. This is really quickly going to fall into a discussion of the role of the audience and how that’s changed in the digital era (vs. when Aristotle first brought it up…), and neither of us care enough to suffer through thay. Suffice to say it’s not cut and dry, and beyond that I dont know any better than you do what specific impact they have (and neither do they).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nostalgia and remake culture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a real Im14AndThisIsDeep meme. More people have access to platforms for their creative work than at any other point in human history, if you aren’t seeing it then you’re not really trying to find it. It’s not hollywood, but hollywood doesn’t define culture (as much as they’d like to think they do…)

  I’ll say. Us little specialties are still safe for now (big data in my case) but we’re probably the first to go once these models get just a bit better. Not fun stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Poor word choice on my part, will freely admit that. The veg population of inda in is roughly larger than the entire US population, which is the much more useful statistic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeahhhh… I was drunk and I probably could have thought that example through better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I cherish you.

  But probably from a distance. Chickeboos aren’t the best for, you know, close-up cherishing.
  You know why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a very common argument and it’s a little shortsighted, because the answer is broadly “yes”. Reducing the number of cows/chickens/etc in the world is a net positive, and would only require us to stop force breeding them like the villains from some kind of degenerate poultry hentai. Allowing the species to reduce in population is only of benefit to the species (cough humans cough) and is overall desirable. Keeping some in zoos would be fine, maintaining the native wild populations is also a good plan, small scale farms (“family” or “hobby”) farms where they don’t brutalize the animals is also a feature of most vegan utopias. Take india, where most of the population is vegan: there are still cows on farms, cow-derived produce is still available, it’s just the cows aren’t kept in American-style stock farms.

  YMMV, and like any ideology there are other opinions with equally valid outlooks, this is just what I see most often. (full disclosure, I am not a vegan (there’s plenty of evidence to that in my post history), I just sleep with a lot of vegans and quite like chana masala)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It’s complicated”.

  It’s the same category of disputes as eggs, or milk, being vegan under certain circumstances The argument is that rescued farm animals have been so warped by human intervention that it’s actively harmful for you to not use their produce - dairy cows can in rare cases die, and otherwise will just be miserable, if left unmilked. Chickens lay too many eggs, and leaving unf. chicken eggs in the coop can lead to the chickens learning to eat their own eggs, so you have to remove them. I don’t hold a position on these claims, I’m just reporting what I see come up in the argument. Bees fall into the same sort of category, they’ve been so selectively bred that they now produce far more honey than they can possibly use, so removing and eating some of it helps to mitigate the negative impact that humans have had on the creatures.

  Regardless though: cows, chickens and bees are all still animals. I don’t think any vegans are gonna argue that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did my bus driver want me to not pay the fare and instead just "TAKE A SEAT!!!"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly because that bus system has no fare, or they were having an exasperating day, or you are so bad at paying a fare that its easier just to have you sit down?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Its basically a template generator, which is really helpful when you’re generating boilerplate. It doesn’t save me much if any time to refactor/fill in that template, but it does save some mental fatigue that I can then spend on much more interesting problems.

  It’s a niche tool, but occasionally quite handy. Without leaps forward technically though, it’s never going to become more than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man… listen. You’re doubling down on the most implausible details here, even the ones I fudged in your favor (wpm), and that’s just silly. If that’s truly what a stream of consciousness looks like from you, and if microsoft word really is (despite all of human history serving as a counter example) helpful to you, then you are the Michael Phelps of internet commenting, and I suppose I commend you for that. But, again, I really doubt it.

  Have a good day, and I mean that sincerely, because this is a really stupid hill for me to be trying this hard to die on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I should have clarified - the practice by which declaring “godwin’s law” would call for an end to a discussion, because it had clearly devolved beyond the point that there was anything worthwhile to continue to extract from it, was explicitly excepted from applying to discussions of fascism, where the comparison was (indeed) frequently apt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If advanced degrees make you a good writer, I think everyone I work with (and myself) have probably been doing it wrong the whole time.

  Listen, maybe I’m wrong here. But I don’t believe that you because you penned that comment eight minutes after you wrote another 4 paragraph reply, with a very similar word count, which you wrote in most eleven minutes. I’m more impressed with the lemmy.world admins for improving the time new comments take to propagate, since as recently as last week it was taking a reliable 4 minutes for them to register across the desktop interface. But hey, I might be wrong, I can’t prove this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat, which LLM did you get to write this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Godwins law doesnt apply when discussing fascism, a clause of the rule since godwin first penned it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End nuclear fusion!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep that’s all true, but they’ll pump it into the ground anyways because “venting nuclear fusion byproducts into the atmosphere” is going to go down really poorly with the “I hate and fear the things I don’t understand” crowd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End nuclear fusion!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The amount of helium produced is truly miniscule, in the order of a few cubic centimeters. They’ll just pump it into the ground somewhere, assuming we ever get fusion working
