Should probably put some MGMT on there.

Have you hand-knitted her a cashmere sweater that fit her perfectly? What am I saying, that was probably why you learned knitting.

Well, in a few decades you’ll see what “even weirder places” means…

I’m late Gen X but I’m really enjoying Gen Z music. Some of it’s so chill.

Sorry friend, that sounds really hard. I’m really sorry you lost your mum.

Someone I knew with colitis said it calmed down by itself after about a decade, so I hope that happens to you.

Glad it’s not just me!

How are the ouside parts of your ears and the bridge of your nose tho?

Someone in here will say The Weeknd and cue mass existential crisis.

Nope, you’re describing not being young, that’s nothing like being actually old. Growing old has a bunch of stages:

• joint pain

• can no longer dance all night

• hangovers last all day

• dentists start talking to you about your gums

But then you get to the phase of

• skin losing elasticity

• liking dinner parties

• marijuana is now a medicine

• developed distinct preferences about stuff like threadcount

And then after that the next phase is more like

• a lot of time worrying about your parents

• all body fat migrates to one or two of its favourite spots

• seriously consider putting everything on lanyards

• your favourite singers are all dead

And so on, you get the picture. That’s as far as I’ve traveled but as far as I can see the phases after that involve things like bladder leakage and losing friends to alzheimers.

And you can also donate directly to UNHRA since some western countries have defunded it.

Wear nirvanablock.

What’s the relevance?

If a company signs a public pledge and then breaks it, that’s worth knowing about.

In that case, I guess it’s important to avoid Nirvana if you’re a layperson.

Probably.

Bodhisattva option is the only right option.

That’s why I can’t Buddhist.

I don’t want to no true scotsman you, but your friend appears to have a really, really poor understanding of what karma is.

Edit: sorry, that was flippant.

Leaving that aside, just from the perspective of logic, basically youre saying if people deserve violence for past acts of violence then why not carry out more violence on them thus causing yourself to also deserve violence for past violence.

Like, why would you?

Exactly.

One day it will involve fediverse. So enjoy it here for here now, where the only spam we face is the black market prescription drugs spammers on kbin, and people pushing their own news blogs.

This is what I think too. Disaster capitalism + surveillance capitalism + massive resource competition due to climate change = neofeudalism.

Bird flu just jumped a couple of species barriers as well.

AI is currently being used in both the wars OP mentioned.

Its primary use is always going to be in Surveillance Capitalism. The idea we can get nice things from it is mainly a consolation prize.

I mean yes I can now get AI to draw me a picture or write me an editorial. But meanwhile the IDF can get AI to choose people to kill and use the Wheres Daddy AI program to tell them when someone is at home so they can deliberately bomb him with his family.

So yeah it isn’t much for consumers but it’s not going away for use on us.

I still get necrobumps from reddit on year-old comments despite having left reddit. It’s weird.
