Fucking THANK YOU, for elucidating this so cleanly into a two paragraphs.

The wandering shell shock on Lemmy for a week was miserable to witness.

Proles?

Decent meme

If you ask about gender in death, people will just look at you weird.

There’s compounding evidence that a lot of religious canon was simply written by mankind as a kind of societal control.

The living should be kinder to one another.

I think this is the best post I’ve seen on Lemmy

Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

Have you tried a Steam Deck?

Hahaha yes; funny short story. Hopefully nobody violates the quarantine. :)

There’s a shocking number of people who walk this Earth without a functional world model or empathy, and don’t feel things until they occur to them personally.

It’s almost akin to a sort of brain damage or disorder, I’m not qualified enough to be able to explain what occurs in the brain structurally for this to happen; only that when they’re grimacing for getting convicted after they’ve murdered 40 people (or millions, if it’s an oil exec, for example) and wondering why that’s happening, you carefully and patiently explain to them that’s only part of what they’ve inflicted upon others and society writ large.

It doesn’t create a “just” or even sane society philosophically speaking, and the legislative process has been almost completely subverted by that segment of the population as you’d pointed out, specifically to be dysfunctional.

Maybe we ought to install more mirrors in the legislative branches

What the fuck do we do with the weather control machine then? :o

You’re telling me we spent $5.7 billion of traceable taxpayer money on a weather altering device just to not u-- I’m just fucking with ya 😂

Plastic in clothes is bad for you, not just the environment

Microplastics apparently do infiltrate through the skin

We have… done bad things with our world.

Not a woman, but no.

That shows poor financial responsibility.

I’m sure people can handle a few alligators and mosquitos spilling out of the portal

I’m in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I’ll never be in the Top 1%.

Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.

Good – is it $10,000 now instead of only $5,000?

I mean, don’t all the dream characters die when you wake up? Seems kinda

Not good

My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It’s like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.

In my nightmares, there’s a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it’s not even according to their whims, it’s simply a price for existing.

I’d go on but it’s too spooky and sad.

The rest of the time life’s pretty good.
