- Comment on what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god? 1 day ago:
Grammar that doesn’t cause headspins is a personal boundary, right?
- Comment on Lemmy be like 1 day ago:
That’s my point
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 days ago:
True that.
Just getting in to TTRPGs properly. It seems like a way to really solidify friendships, rather than to find new ones. But that’s still very valuable!
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 days ago:
Social hobbies are where it’s at. I’ve never met anyone meaningful at a concert. Hobbies (and activism) though, all the people all the time.
“Don’t have much time”… I guess it it’s important to you, you should figure out how to make time for it

So, uh, you reckon you could fit eight of those on one person?

This could do with a comma somewhere, I think…
- Comment on Bro wake up it's 1997. 5 days ago:
Been fucken ages, but it has the Sydney Harbour Bridge, plus a bunch of the cliffs on the freeway north of Sydney (which are sadly much less majestic since a freeway expansion on the early 2000s). Then it also has some red desert which is at least 1000km away, plus some old mining towns, which is somewhere in between.
I just looked up a lap of it on youtube though, and the graphics are waaaaay worse than I remember… I guess I had low standards in the 90s 😂

Oh wow, did you post this direct from mastodon just by tagging the community? Didn’t realise that works, that’s super cool.

Playing this as an Aussie teenager, the Australia track was kinda hilarious, I was always like damn, this loop through that scenery should take about 32 hours minimum

This probably shouldn’t be marked NSFW?
- Comment on What would happen if America started faking its economic data? Here’s what happened when other countries did it 1 week ago:
They’re already ditching reality on climate, and climate-related sovereign risk is set to become a pretty huge part of the international financial/economic picture over the next years/decades…
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 2 weeks ago:
Makes sense, thanks!

Goodness in one aspect doesn’t cancel badness in another…
It can be always bad AND sometimes good.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 2 weeks ago:
Got some examples?
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 2 weeks ago:
No, it’s not. It’s saying that any amount of suffering is bad, but a tolerable amount of suffering can have good secondary effects (but this is not guaranteed, it’s circumstantial). The secondary good doesn’t mean that the bad part didn’t happen.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
Agree it’s on a different scale (everything is relative to 200 years ago).
One of the main “benefits” of mechanised factory machinery in the early 1800s was that shifted the demand side of labour, such that capitalists had far more control over it. I reckon that counts as a kind of large scale manipulation (but yeah, probably not as pervasive of other domains of life).
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 weeks ago:
More or less

AI is exactly as bad as mechanised weaving looms.

Wait until the you run out of dishes before you start to wash any.

You and everyone else.

- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 3 weeks ago:
I would say someone getting offended by you communicating is not “nothing”. At least it would be a problem for me.
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 3 weeks ago:
Seems possible.
But the answer might be highly culturally dependent, and also contingent on a tonne of extra context, so you’re probably not going to get a reliable answer from the internet.
You could try asking him his intentions directly. Or telling him that you’re not interested.
- Comment on Itch.io Re-indexes free NSFW content, are in ongoing discussions with payment processors to re-introduce paid content 3 weeks ago:
That REALLY isn’t how things work
It definitely can be. I haven’t dealt with payment processors in this way, but I’ve had (spurious) DCMA takedowns that required my service providers to act immediately, or else they’d get sued. They did notify me, but gave me about 2h to figure something else out.
A payment processor is in full control of payments across your entire site (unless you have multiple, I guess). They can pull the rug with no notice if they want. Doesn’t seem nice, but nice isn’t part of the business model.
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 3 weeks ago:
The other part is that normal people as party of a well functioning society need to actively maintain systems that keep fuckwits from accumulation to much power, and we haven’t been doing that.

Ok
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 weeks ago:
I’ve played with switches before, and some DIY electronics, and have done some network admin. I’ll grant that the actual internal electronics and software are far to complex for even me to understand.
But again, if you talk to someone with some interest in what you’re doing, you can find a level they they can understand. Maybe using metaphors like human-operated old-school telephone switch boards, that’s an image that most people will have seen, and can understand at a coarse conceptual level. You CAN have an interesting conversation at the level, if YOU want to be interested in it (and if they do, which is partially contingent on you being able to connect with them in the first place).
If you think climate is simpler or more accessible, I’d suggest you have a quick go at explaining the Navier-Stokes equations, Darcy’s law for fluid flow through porous media, or why convective storm activity needs to be parameterised in climate models (and at what scale it doesn’t). Climate isn’t easier, or more accessible than network admin - both require years or tertiary education to start understanding even parts of the underlying principles, and no one person understands either field completely. It IS probably more familiar for most people, because it’s in the media all the time. But again, that’s just a matter of finding the extent of their knowledge and interest, and coming up to their level.
