- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 3 days ago:
A set of principles of behavior. A concept of actions that are acceptable within the social group, and actions that are not.
Elephants are animals with long memories, complex social structures, and even elaborate mourning rituals. It would not surprise me at all to find they have their own set of rules for being accepted into the herd.

I certainly wouldn’t discount the possibility. They unquestionably have empathy. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have spirituality too.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 3 days ago:
All evidence we have demonstrates morality has existed in our species as long as we have existed in groups. This leads me to believe that morality was a catalyst to a
unifieddiverse spiritualitythat took a very long time to agree on,and we still don’t agree on it.See, it’s the same when you swap them around. When both morality and spirituality exist throughout all of written history, how can you make any claim of causality? I think spirituality is a natural extension of morality, as people began to establish collective morals, spirituality and ritual can be used to spread and reinforce ideas.
And the idea that empathy isn’t inherent is wildly ignorant. Mirror neurons are a fundamental part of our brains, suggesting empathy is taught is like claiming taste is. People are taught what to do with their empathy. Whether to embrace it or ignore it. Hell, look at any of the hundreds of examples of empathy in animals. It’s not even exclusive to vertebrates, much less civilization.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 days ago:
You’re inventing a lot of enemies here and listening to no one.
Nobody is claiming all mobile games are gacha, just pointing out that all the ones you talked about initially are, and they wildly dominate the market.
Honestly I don’t know why I’m bothering, I have more to say but this a waste of my time.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 days ago:
And yet you jumped all over people claiming to have played enough games to be able to recognize crap when they see it. Again, you’re dismissing real people while standing up for what exactly? Defending corporate garbage?
I enjoy the occasional mobile game too, I don’t have an issue with your general opinion. But you certainly aren’t convincing anyone with the childish attitude and ridiculous reasoning.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 days ago:
The hypocrisy of claiming that you can’t judge any game without physically playing it yourself, then turning around and judging thousands of people you’ve never interacted with based on a couple interactions, is absolutely staggering.
Consider giving human beings the same benefit of the doubt that you give to software.

You’re judging the gaming habits of the entire population of Lemmy based on a couple anecdotes from random threads? And you want to talk about not making snap judgements?
- Comment on PSA: Get Your Parents Off the Meta AI App Right Now-This is bad, folks. Very bad. 3 weeks ago:
Honestly yeah this just seems like an ad trying to generate interest for yet another AI app. Seems like the type of engagement meta often tries to court.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 month ago:
That’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying. If you offer software that requires outside servers to run, you should be legally obligated to release the code used to run the servers if you discontinue supporting that software. That doesn’t make mmo’s any different, just a minor change to how they handle end of life.
- Comment on U.S. inks bill to force geo-tracking tech for high-end gaming and AI GPUs 1 month ago:
Yeah if you think most people are going to care or even know about this, you haven’t been paying attention to the last 20 years.
- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 1 month ago:
Or people are used to this concept and accept it normal instead of unethical behavior that should be illegal.
- Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs 1 month ago:
Why would people here care that much about this? This kind of material exists on any site that allows user submitted content, and the only solution is aggressive automated moderation, which winds up hurting everyday users. Would you prefer that anyone who uploads a song or podcast that names a drug be automatically removed and have to be manually approved?
These are low-effort scams to steal credit card numbers, it doesn’t seem like any of these had an actual avenue to purchase drugs. They should be removed for sure, but this is hardly some wild breach of responsibility.
- Comment on The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no no 1 month ago:
This has got to be machine printed right? They’re no worse than Wizard’s usual minis, but yeah they always suck. The biggest problem IMO is the sculpt, they look like they’re made out of mud. I assume it has to do with the rubber they use. I don’t know, I’m way too spoiled by printing my own to consider buying something that looks this bad.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 2 months ago:
You should take a look then, this one is subtly but significantly different. They found Dimethyl Sulfide, which is (to our knowledge) only created by living organisms.
- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 2 months ago:
Wasn’t that the big news last week?
- Comment on Jack Daniel’s maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves ‘worse than tariff’ 3 months ago:
Liquor stores are government run in most Canadian territories. It wasn’t a National mandate, but it was a government mandate in the provinces that did make that decision.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 3 months ago:
Then you probably shouldn’t waste so much of other people’s time by claiming something didn’t happen if you haven’t even bothered to fucking check.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 3 months ago:
He very clearly salutes, turns around, and salutes again. Twice in a row, enthusiastically and perfectly executed.
If you haven’t seen this, you didn’t watch the inauguration.
- Comment on Explicit deepfake scandal shuts down Pennsylvania school 7 months ago:
I don’t think you’re on the right track here. There are definitely existing laws in most states regarding ‘revenge porn’, creating sexual media of minors, Photoshop porn, all kinds of things that are very similar to ai generated deep fakes. In some cases ai deepfakes fall under existing laws, but often they don’t. Or, because of how the law is written, they exist in a legal grey area that will be argued in the courts for years.
Nowhere is anyone suggesting that making deepfakes should be prosecuted as rape, that’s just complete nonsense. The question is, where do new laws need to be written, or laws need to be updated to make sure ai porn is
- Comment on Lore Of Disturbing Human-Pokémon Relationships & Hybrid Offspring Come To Light In Recent Game Freak Leaks 8 months ago:
Yeah, definitely, I’m not questioning the leaks as a whole, just this story. Big leaks like this are a great opportunity for trolls to throw made up stuff in the mix to try to get it to go viral.
These couple stories just seem really disjointed and without any real structure or meaning. It could certainly be just a mediocre writer playing around at writing fairy tales, or maybe I’m missing context due to translation or something, but I don’t know, just kinda reads like AI written stuff to me.
- Comment on Lore Of Disturbing Human-Pokémon Relationships & Hybrid Offspring Come To Light In Recent Game Freak Leaks 8 months ago:
I have a real hard time believing these are real. Those stories are nuts, but in a completely nonsensical way. They seem like AI generated spooky stories to me, someone just trying to jump in on the leak drama.
- Comment on Steam Next Fest - October 2024 edition is now live with lots of demos 8 months ago:
I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
- Comment on US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms 8 months ago:
Well, you absolutely can because the argument was immediately withdrawn as completely unenforceable, just like this certainly will be.
- Comment on US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms 8 months ago:
Well, that is exactly what happens in the vast majority of cases, and almost certainly what’s going to happen here.
That’s not to undercut how shitty a practice it is, it mostly serves to discourage and dissuade people from trying to sue in the first place.
