We need reasonable people like you in this chaos.

Do they contain more sugars by default perhaps?

Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?

“Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”

I love it. Less social interaction after a long day of work, I can keep my headphones on. It’s a bliss for me.

You forget the falling asleep literally 12 minutes before your alarm goes off.

I need only three things:

1. Where is the hurricane
2. What path did it already take
3. How strong / fast is it

Bonus: Prediction path it will take.

I was thinking this would be very easy to visualize. From such important data sources you’d expect more.

Why isn’t this as easy as storing some of that excess energy in a home battery and letting the rest down in a wire into the ground? Then if it’s smart enough it could only give back energy when needed.

(and motorbikes for even longer distances, and ca… wait)

Had to look it up as well, but apparently it is how you type “hoe” in a calculator upside down…

I crave for some kind of religion and I want it to be real, I think I was made for it genetically. My core being tries to find meaning in everything, every story, every feeling, the connection with others. Therefore I understand that desire.

But I just can’t take the bullshit when I think about it rationally. The lack of doubt people have in any of their beliefs and the kind of certainty they support their imagined traditions and Gods with. It’s insane.

Finding a meaningful life feels natural, but the only truth I have is that I cannot believe anything for certain. So all religion becomes a complete mindtrap for people who use it to sooth themselves.

And that is fine, I get it. I get that you don’t want to question it as that’s harder and makes life more chaotic. And I also feel some envy for people who are able to not care (as much) about uncertainty. But good for them.

The only thing is, keep those ideas to yourself and your community and accept others for not being able to commit to your story. My story and all my beliefs are probably also flawed, but that doubt is a healthy way to accept that others have different ideas.

Aren’t there like cheat servers and non-cheat servers? Or is that a “gentleman’s agreement” that not everyone is playing fair with if you can’t fully block it because of mods etc?

Lunch is my favourite. Nothing beats a fine sandwich with cheese.

For this exact purpose. To impress your ex? Sounds fair enough.

Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.

Value of art is always in the eye of the beholder. If many people see the value, then it receives that from the public.

I would not say AI generated art has the same value as the Mona Lisa per se, quite the contrary. I’m only declaring both as a form of art.

Yes, in the same way a field of corn on a farm can be seen as art. We do not have full control over how it actually looks in the end, but it’s an expression by natural phenomena (sometimes guided or initiated by humans).

You could argue about the amount of free will required to create art. But in that case one could philosophically raise the question if humans even have free will, and if anything may be called art then at all.

I think if something is observed as art, it is by definition art. And perhaps everything that exists and is created could fit that description. But personally one of the more interesting types of art to me are where living beings are involved in the creation, while they’re actually thinking of creating art; and I think most discussions are about that concrete level.

I’d say that open for discussion. Even taking a dump can be seen from the perspective of art, although I agree for us humans it’s quite far out there.

Perhaps to smallen the gap, think of a dung beetle rolling a ball of poo.

I’m not saying you have to like it or even that it’s noteworthy, but art in my opinion as definition can be anything that is created by something. As long as an observer looks at it as if it were art.

You’ve convinced me, your comment is objectively bad art.
