I want to inform you that there are Zionists who oppose the current military operation in Palestine, but yeah most people carrying out these operations are scum.

also - sorry for ranting but this is a perfect time for it - people who wear earrings are stupid. they want to be pretty so they wear earrings, though if people like you because you wear earrings, better distance yourself from these people. also, the make-up economy is harmful. make-up contains hormone-like substances, they are a means of extracting money out of unwitting women, make women feel like shit if they don’t wear make-up, and distort perception of what a normal human looks like through advertisement. women become dependent on that stuff because if nobody used it, neither would they have to.

all. i deplore piercings (that includes earrings ofc) so much, it’s an act of self-harm and people are doing it because they’re so dead inside, they want to feel anything at all rather than nothing. we need a healthy relationship with our body again, and that definitely doesn’t include self-harm.

I’m not sure whether this should be a “standard”, but we need a Linux Distribution where the user never has to touch the command line. Such a distro would be beneficial and useful to new users, who don’t want to learn about command line commands.

And also we need a good app store where users can download and install software in a reasonably safe and easy way.

“though your path may be set, you can gain as much speed down that path as you would like”

means, even if they had to go to war, they could have missed shots on purpose.

tldr

no often today we don’t know what the code is actually doing

yes this is an important problem

no nobody really seems to take it as serious as it should be taken today

no i’m not gonna change that over night

i think we just have different notions about what “art” is.

that video is from 2016 though? AI has improved significantly since then?

edit so i just watched the video, and miyazaki says it’s about believing in the abilities which we humans have, and while i agree, actually believing in technology (that humans create) does not contradict that. if anything, it might extend it.

that’s the anarchic stance. mine was more a chemical/technical one.

I really agree with your point. However:

First of all, it’s reduce, reuse, recycle.

Nobody implied that recycling would solve everything. (at least i didn’t, i don’t know about what other people said)

Secondly, plastics is actually less of a problem than people think. Plastics is essentially non-toxic, or has a similar toxicity than wood, grass, and other carbohydrates. So essentially non-toxic. The fact that there is traces of it in your blood is not surprising, because our detection systems these days are very sensitive and can detect even the tiniest amounts.

The additives are the problem, and they should either be forbidden or strictly regulated.

The point that “chemical recycling is infeasible” is wrong. It used to be financially infeasible because the energy required to recycle was many times more expensive than just buying crude oil and making new plastics. Nowadays, however, that might change, depending on how cheap solar energy turns out to become over the next 10 years.

Furthermore, i guess Aluminum and glass are actually often worse for the environment, because while they could be recycled close to 100% when properly collected, such a good collection system is totally unreasonable and off the bat IMO. Consider: if there’s one stupid guy who throws a lead acid battery into the recycle container, all of you now have lead poisoning for the rest of your lifes. It’s a medical hazard.

Additionally, the problem with plastic waste in the environment is a problem of insufficient regulation, not with the plastics itself. Plastics can be burned very close to 100%, so it leaves no traces. Different than say nuclear which leaves back toxic waste. Additionally, burning plastics releases close to 100% of the energy stored in it, so it could be used as a fuel. In the future, optimized plastics power stations might burn plastics in the winter to generate energy to compensate for lower solar energy. That’s why i’m actually in favor of collecting all plastics in gigantic landfills, because it might become a very valuable resource later on.

i think it’s reconsider (buying this product), reuse, recycle

sry i’m too tired rn

maybe another time :D

here’s a short summary:

plants produce life out of the four elements (water, air, sunlight, earth), so they are producers of life. animals/fungus are consumers of such life (they eat fruit) and decompose it into urine, air, shit, and heat/energy. so it goes full-circle.

what, however - you may ask -, is in it for the plants? why produce food only for animals to eat it? it is because the plants get something for it, and that is that animals transport the seed in the fruit around and drop it somewhere far away. so plants get movement or transport from the animals. and that advantage is, in fact, large enough for the plants for it to even bother producing food in the first place. so quite big. that’s not really pseudoscience btw, more real biology done by real biologists, but still interesting :D

elveitie: the call of the mountains

ask for more and i will give.

Uff, i have a lot:

Life on earth is a huge organized organism. It created intelligent humans deliberately sothat we can spread life to other planets. Living beings (plants, insects, other animals, fungi) could not do that otherwise.

All life is sentient. Sentience doesn’t come from the brain, rather it comes from the hormones in your bloodstream. When we sweat, these hormones enter the air (apparently within the fraction of a second) and other people can smell them. That is how we can instinctually know how others are feeling.

Also i have a lot of mythology:

Heaven (realm of all ideas, knowledge and forms) and Earth (origin of mass and material) are a love pair. Because they couldn’t easily meet (there was an insurmountable gap between them), they created a bridge, which is life. This way, heaven supplies the shape (genes), and Earth supplies the body, and these two can be together in this way.

Viruses are books. They have a cover (shell) and contain scripture (RNA/DNA). We humans let them in because they are nature’s messengers and have a specific purpose, which is to exchange some information.

i have that too, a lot. not just when people die though. it is quite different than just a random hallucination, because i get the feeling that an organized intelligence is actually having a plan and giving me specific information.

like, sometimes, i will have a dream that conveys something important to me, and then i will deliberately wake up in the middle of that dream in a way that makes me remember what i dreamed about, so i can write it down.

to make an example, just yesterday. i dreamed that an old school colleague of mine is in some sort of deep trouble. today, for the first time in 6 years, i get a text message from a close friend of his that asks me to meet up.

I thought you were going to say

As a videogames programmer, it is natural to me to consider myself as a character in some video game.

The way i think about it:

The brain has two halves (hemispheres)

The left hemisphere does rational thinking

the right hemisphere does magical thinking (which probably also covers religion)

Both of these hemispheres developed through evolution, because both of them are useful and beneficial to your life. That is why you should employ both.

Also we can see evolution at work when bacteria develop resistance to medications.

we gotta keep trying :)

is my opinion at least
