I like it. I like the aesthetic, and I like how it can fit the sound well.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 2 days ago:
They’re at that level for a reason. The problem is that most people are ignorant or give little consideration to human life.
- Comment on Metal on the inside, business on the outside 1 week ago:
For me:
Power metal or speed metal to start the day or complete a task really quickly
Death metal or epic heavy metal to push myself through tasks
Black metal to go through the day on a sustainable pace
Death-doom when I’m going through a lot of very small, context-shifting tasks for a long time and it’s driving me crazy
Atmospheric black metal or dungeon synth to focus on a complex problem, and also when I’m on latter part of the day and really tired.
Death-thrash to wake myself up when I’m sleepy.

As a man, I’m happy to know that about Lemmy.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 1 week ago:
The app allows you to take several photos, label those parts (“leaves”, “flower”, etc.), and then you get several results, sorted by correspondence according to the neural network. When you click on a result, you get photos of different parts of the plant, allowing you to compare to your plant and judge if they’re the same.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 1 week ago:
There are fairly similar plants, so make sure to do your research. I get similar plants each year in my garden but I know they’re not purslane.
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 1 week ago:
If you have a garden (I recommend far from the street to avoid pollution), some wild plants will grow in it. It’s good to know which ones you can eat and to be able to distinguish them from poisonnous ones. This way, weeding can become a sort of harvest.

I don’t know, that seems very similar to agnostic atheism to me. Is there any situation where you would act differently if you’d consider yourself agnodtic atheist instead of apathetic agnostic?

Words like “atheism” or “agnostic” make sense as shorthands for everyday conversations or labelling, but if you want to be rigorous about it, it makes more sense to use 4 categories:
-
Gnostic theist: I know there’s a God, I’ve met Him, I feel it, I have faith, etc.
-
Agnostic theist: I don’t know if there’s a god or not, but I prefer to believe there’s one
-
Agnostic atheist: if we don’t know if there’s a god or not, there’s no reason to believe there’s one. Do you assume there’s an invisible giant teapot orbiting Earth because there’s no proof to the contrary?
-
Gnostic atheist: a god can’t possibly exist, the concept of a god is illogical, etc.
I’m agnostic atheist, but maybe there could a firm reasoning for the gnostic atheist position. I don’t know, I would have to read and think about it more.

- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
I don’t really understand where the very specific ides of kiwi farming comes from, but I can confirm old 4chan users are here. I’m one of them. I’ve never been misogynistic or racist however. I was more into the freedom, randomness, otaku culture and activism for civic liberties. There’s a preconceived notion of what a 4chan user is, and I understand where it comes from.

Exceptionally heroic characters who do not have a royal title can also be included.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 months ago:
I think pornography is an “art” the same way gastronomy is an “art”. Both serve a simple function: one to arouse you, the other to be enjoyable food to eat.
I think the more general definition of art is something that generates more complex emotions and thoughts.

Is there really a game that allows you to do all that??!!

They’re only thinking of the eventual harm done to actors, or, victims, in the case of child porn.

Apart from Denmark. I know only one band from there.

I went and saved the queen from that war that happened long ago. Then it appeared I had nothing left to do. I stopped there.
