So you’re saying it is possible then? That was my only hangup. I don’t have a position on whether we have free will (leaning towards not) for the exact reason we can’t prove it.

How would perceived irrationality be counter to a deterministic universe? It just maybe seems irrational without all of the information, but is still perfectly part of the causal chain.

It is economy

I don’t disagree with you, but the person you’re responding to didn’t mention capitalism?

Maybe a stretch as it’s not parodying a song but parodies Star Wars kinda sorta? Seagulls! (Stop it Now)

Lonely Island has a few (Jack Sparrow) comes to mind but again not a direct parody of a specific song.

Richard Cheese does straight up covers but they are so stylistically different that it’s basically a parody. Chop Suey

Then there’s the classic comedy music duos: Garfunkel & Oates (Loophole), Flight of the Conchords (Business Time)

Bo Burnham’s whole Inside special is fantastic too.

Looks like I’m mostly listing comedy music and not necessarily parodies, but oh well.

Dark Souls randomizer is so much fun

Or just looking up the answer afterwards.

Oh no! Sarcasm doesn’t get me anywhere?? Whatever will I do now? Guess I’ll just totally stop all sarcasm since I was only doing it to get places.

Right there in the daylight alley? Kinda trashy

I have bad news

Charlie Brown up to some wild stuff as an adult

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Sometimes less is more

Stararting

Could they not just create separate companies to get around this?

This is something I think about from time to time and essentially get nowhere.

I try and live-capture and release bugs from my house (the only things I actively kill in this regard is mosquitos).I also hunt/fish.

If I saw a deer trapped on a frozen lake I’d go out and rescue it, yet I’d shoot that same deer in a different place under a different context. It’s not really consistent, except in intentionality I suppose.

I do place a higher value on the life of animals that are more “intelligent” (in a way that feels more human) compared to other animals. For example, I’m not upset at all when I use hand sanitizer and presumably wipe out a whole swath of life, but I’m sad if a bird hits a window and dies. Part of that is the intentionality again maybe? The bacteria “had” to die, and the bird didn’t; I’d feel less bad about the bird if I saw a natural predator take it down but it’s still more upsetting than even unintentionally killing an insect.

This is my first exposure to this idea and it’s quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that’s a recipe for disaster.

The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn’t help the perception that a question is actually an attack.

Where’s your source for this? I’ve never noticed it so it must not be happening

Me.
