I don't know the meaning of every lifeform but the meaning of human life is to overcome the struggle of life.... the irony. is that the "the pandas aren't fucking" moment for our evolutionary path?

I guess the same could be said for a coat, or clothes even, but there's something very blanket-like about wrapping a robe around yourself to hang on to the warmth and comfort when getting out of bed on a chilly morning.

I was commenting on a post just now, and I needed to find a source for it where I had to pick through websites I didn't recognize. Eventually I found something affiliated with BBC science, which may have its own issues but it's a whole lot more reputable than the slop. However, if I was a younger user or new to a topic, I wouldn't have known to use that source.

At first I was thinking of making a community for this, but I don't think we will have enough content to sustain a single purpose community like this.

Instead, I'm making this post to encourage people to post those questions to existing communities.

Please suggest where someone should make such posts. So far I'm thinking:

• asking in [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]
• sharing resources in [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

Long term it would be nice to have a blacklist of these on UBO.

I have truly noticed a change in how I am engaging with content nowadays, I have become more reluctant on clicking on links to articles or videos that have been made in these last few years, and when I do I started by looking for clues if it has been generated by ai. if the voice is human or generated, if the pictures are of real events or slop. I mistrust everything. and it's exhausting. earlier slop was easier to detect nowadays it's becoming impossible.

Coincidentally, many people who want a holy war are morons on oxy. But that's neither here nor there!

This is a rule formalised in physics textbooks as "If I fits, I sits"

Trying to apply set theory on sex.
A formal "sex theory," if you will.

just to give you something to think about

(where will we be in 20 years?)

edit: alright, i updated the timeline y'all

It’s probably almost cruelly difficult to find someone with up to date machine learning knowledge who also violently hates slop as much as they ought to.

Edit: obviously I mean hating AI the buzzword, AI the machine god, AI the magic bean stock goes up, AI the cure to critical thinking, AI will change everything, AI = LLM = photo generator. Not hiring someone who abhors the concept of machine learning. I think most people here got what I was thinking of I guess

Not, like, politics or racism or anything like that, but everyone should have some weird or obscure thing they like that is definitely not something everyone likes. There is some kind of weird, obscure, maybe hard to find thing that speaks to you on a specific level that only a certain amount of people also like. I think it’s an important part of finding yourself.

For instance, my favorite book series is John Dies At The End, not just because it’s the most fun you can have reading a book, but because it introduced me to gonzo lovecraftian as a genre. I try to get everyone I know to read those books. A lot of people just don’t get it. Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place might have been the most formative experience in my life. A lot of people just don’t get it. (I’m from the states, I understand a lot of folks from the UK understand how great it is. Even better than quantum leap.) Tetsuo: The Iron Man is probably my favorite movie of all time. My brother loved it, it has made some people stop talking with me. I like weird shit, I could go on. I raced home from school to watch Beetleborgs.

What weird, obscure, specific thing have you fallen in love with that it seems like nobody else is aware of?

Also, Phantom Crash is the best game there ever was. I will fight you.

(This was an actual thought I had in the shower. I take long showers.)

I'm not great at math but like

Demi = half

Bi = two

2 x 1/2 = uni

And forgive me, this was technically a "changing the sheets" thought.

Every time you see it its paired with a date: "Only In Theaters September 9th". Why would they advertise that their movie is only in theaters for one day? I understand FOMO but that seems really intense.

I realize that the text is actually saying that it is running exclusively in theaters for awhile and that theater time starts on September 9th but the wording simply isn't there...

On some fronts I am sure it would have a competitive edge over human parties. The question is who the owner would be.
