Say it loud

Also, think about who is here. Stats for Lemmy.ml say that it’s freaking 90% male and about 40% from the US.

We have a pretty thin slice of the pie here. I’m not saying that this is right, but it does explain why you see such a concentration of bad behavior. Also, the age group for Lemmy is primarily 30-39.

The reality is when you have a concentration of any one demographic group, you’re going to see this sort of thing. With a lack of diversity across all categories, you get yet another echo chamber. Unless we get some more people in here who are not more of the same, Lemmy is going to turn into 4chan real fast.

BUT WE HAVE FREEDUM!!!

There’s nothing wrong with AI, these contextual problems are not a mistake–they’re a choice.

AI can be trained for deeper analysis and to root out issues like this. But that costs compute cycles. If you’re selling a service, you want to spend as little on compute power as possible while still being able to have a product that is viewed as good enough to pay for.

As with all things, the root of this problem is greed.

Why would he care? Who is going to do anything to him? Dude did Nazi salutes on stage, ain’t shit happen but offense.

Could he just perhaps pull a reverse card and go un-crazy? Do something useful instead of just making everything worse?

Huh? Richest dude on the planet did and nothing bad has happened to him. Sadly, it appears to be 100% ok to go full Hitler anymore.

If only these people would go FULL Hitler and finish themselves off (sooner rather than later).

Perplexity says:

The priest cannot be left alone with the child (or there is some risk).

Not bad, and it solved it correctly.

Song lyrics, youngster.

I’m a driver I’m a winner, things are gonna change I can feel it.

Cars are awesome.

Thing is, I would like to have some time for this. However, I just can’t prioritize it above the responsibilities of life. If I don’t play a game, there is no real impact beyond a little disappointment. If I don’t handle the other stuff, there are real and immediate (often expensive) consequences.

I believe that every person should have a hobby that enriches their life. However, I also feel like that enrichment demands some effort. Things like painting, playing an instrument, sculpting, demand effort but provide reward in equal measure over time. Not just for the individual, but for others who also get to experience the results.

Playing a game is an indulgence; its like a movie or show that you participate in. The end result is an experience for the player alone.

I don’t see life enrichment by pursuit of arts and crafts as the same as consuming a game. I truly believe that you must move beyond playing games and that adults who do not pursue beyond are experiencing arrested development. Games are fun, but if you stop there, you miss so much. That’s why I don’t prioritize them and I find it fascinating that saying something as noncontroversial like “you should stop gaming at a certain age” really touches a nerve with so many people.

I switched to books. Portable, cheap, can start/stop any time. Can read in down moments, can listen on long car rides.

I started playing Outer Wilds. I just don’t have the time to prioritize it to the point where I can enjoy it.

I haven’t played a game for more than 30 minutes in years.

Once you have a big boy job, responsibilities, and a family (if you choose to do so) game time ends up being really low on the list of priorities.

I’m sure many will disagree, but you just can’t devote time to such things once you are an adult. You have to outgrow such indulgences or life will smack you in the dick. If your car is broken, the dishwasher is being an asshole, you need to refinance, the kids have music lessons, the dog is old and needs to go to the vet (again), your mom needs someone to replace her hose faucet, you just can’t sit around dicking around with a game.

The world we live in is the choice of the majority.

The majority demand convenience and are willing to sacrifice almost anything to get it. Additionally, we are forced to go places like work, school, etc and with few other means to accomplish this, you get a glut of roads and cars. A lack of transportation options is a choice–usually one by those who profit from the current system. Unless their greed is sated in another way, they will work tirelessly to defend their presumed entitlements. Either that or such greed must be extinguished by societal controls and the priority has to shift to service of the greater good and the will of the people.

The root of the issue must be addressed if anything is expected to change. Cars are a symptom of the problem, not the cause. Greed and sloth are the causes.

This stinks of their enterprise practices. They are masters of creating extremely confusing plans for pricing that involve bundling, discounts for various combinations, etc. In the end, you get a fat ass bill at the end of every month. When you ask them to explain it, they will say that this component was generated by one team, another by a different…

You will never get a straight answer and if you do, it will take weeks. By then you have another bill and you get to start all over.

I am so over Microsoft and their bullshit. I don’t use any of their shit at home and I actively remove anything I can of theirs at work. Punting Defender out of our environment was my best day ever.

Hello, this François on fantsy pants lane. Yes the one that doesn’t have a road, that’s it.

Anyway, I need 400 sq feet of ceramic tile delivered as I’m having some work done to my flat. I also need about 20 gallons of mastic and five bags of sanded grout. No, you can’t drive a delivery van here, there is a shared lot two blocks away you can park at and then then the delivery people will have to bring everything from there. You won’t do it? Yes I know tile is heavy. 2400 lbs? Well, dont you have a smaller delivery bike or something? Well, can’t you get one? I don’t understand why you’re being so uncooperative!

Balance requires the desire to achieve it. Keep trying, you’ll get there.
