Insane amount of what?

Holy shit, 17 days here and you’ve done nothing but shill.

I go to Memphis

I don’t think that’s true. I like what I liked what I was a teen but more in a nostalgic kind of way. I definitely didn’t like harder metalcore in my teens the way I do now lol.

I still use it regularly, just not as much. Only with RES on desktop so about 15-20% of my previous usage.

I exclusively use Lemmy on my phone but there just isn’t enough content out of general purpose communities. To scratch that itch of discussion of more specific interests I still have to rely on reddit whether I like it or not.

It’s not “what if”, it’s “when”. Is it a good deal currently? Yeah, it always is at this point. Will it become untenably worse once it becomes more popular and corners the market? Yes, it always does in the end.

Workplace democracy is tankie bullshit now? Ok then.

Capitalism was a mistake. All of this is just its flaws being taken to its logical extreme.

AI being used to translate stuff isn’t a bad thing on its own, it’s not severely damaging the careers and in many cases the lives of educated people just because it exists. It does so in the context of this system which hasn’t really been working for a while and continues to fail. AI has its dangers regardless, for sure but it doesn’t necessarily have to spelll doom in all the ways it has been.

Care to expand on this? I’m interested in your perspective on this.

Nah. People are indeed stupid.

However when you examine these beliefs in more depth there is obviously some amount of internal logic that is used to justify these beliefs to themselves and others in the group.

No there isn’t. It looks like logic, but it isn’t. They work backwards, rationalizing conclusions they arrive to emotionally so they can retrofit arguments to justify it, and their “evidence” as you put it is always either full of holes or outright non-falsifiable. There are always glaring flaws in their reasoning but you can’t reason them out of it because the point was always to support their preconceived notions by any means necessary. Because they’re that fucking stupid. Your entire premise is wrong.

Oh shut the fuck up.

Really? I was holding of on buying it because of my specs but they’re practically the same as yours.

I mean I can respect that if they’ve just really known imperial forever. I just take issue with them confusing it being easier for them for that specific reason with it being intersubjectively better, which is dumb.

10% based on what?

No way you’re getting rid of any kind of mysticism, ever. You have people shooting at random towers blaming 5g and not vaccinating because of the dumbest reasons.

Humankind as a whole isn’t intelligent enough to get rid of irrational stupidity and as long as you have that you’ll have people believing in all those things you mentioned.

I stopped using it like a month ago because of this shit. Not worth the headache.

What do you think about it?

It took a huge amount of time and self reflection to realize that I’m not lazy and I’m actually trying my best. It’s sad to think how misunderstood I was for so, so many years.

In my experience, it depends. Sometimes you feel like you’re the dog, sometimes you’re still the one dragging it but it does become smaller, sometimes it feels as huge as it’s ever been and doesn’t feel any easier.

It’s not a magical “solve all your problems” pill but it still helps.

Assassin’s Creed has to be one if not the worst case of wasted potential for a game series as a whole. A lot of them could’ve been genuinely amazing games if not for the sausage factory approach Ubisoft likes so much.
