  • True, but the pressure wave is what is being perceived when hearing, light is what is being perceived when seeing, I never said what was being perceived had to be matter. In the case of touch, some molecules may enter the skin, but that is not the cause of the sensation. Even if you imagine an perfectly hard, smooth and clean surface that sheds no molecule, you should still be able to feel of you touch it.

    However, I thought about it after making this post, but there also is a small amount of kinetic energy entering you when you touch something, and that may be what triggers your nerve… So I guess even in the case of touch, it remains true that you can only perceive something that’s inside of you.





  • If we exclude Musk, no, it’s not worse than Instagram. Musk is a pretty big deal tho. Now, the Zucc is pretty evil too, so anyway I’d say Instagram and Facebook are fair contenders for worst platform.

    Personally I deleted Twitter as soon as the purchase by Elongated Muskrat was confirmed. I deleted Facebook and Instagram more recently (I hesitated longer because I was using it more to communicate with irl acquaintances). I still use WhatsApp, until I can get some people I need to keep in contact with to start using Signal or Telegram (I know I’m not gonna get them on Matrix or xmpp, not worth trying), but it’s also owned by the Zucc so it bothers me to keep using it.



  • Wow, you really put great effort into rendering the details on the girl’s jean. You also put a non negligible effort in painting a person in the mirror with the same colthes as the girl but surprisingly little time making sure they had the same haircut or that this made sense with the position and orientation of the mirror. Which could be that there’s a third person in the room who just happens to be dressed like her, but for this to make sense without them being seen in the image the best must be behind them in the mirror and that’s not what we see in the reflection.

    You are truly scum for claiming this by your drawing. Effort was put into this color and rendering, but not by you. By artists whose work was scraped and spat out at your prompting by a large model at the cost of large amounts of energy and water in a polluting data center. All this for a seen before joke that would’ve worked just as well with a stock photo or hastily drawn stick figures.
