No but Lemmy is not publicly funded so people should send them a few bucks every now and then.

What is the best distro for gaming on Linux?

It doesn’t help that social media censorship is leading to a more constrained language, if anything. Not only profanities are either censored or shadowbanned by some platform algorithms, there’s also general use words for sensitive topics such as suicide, abortion and the like.

Then perish. 😈🔪

Thanks for sharing your opinion about it.

Not really. People may talk shit about comments, but if it was just a matter of getting just articles, you might as well stick to the news sites. Even as far as pure news aggregation goes there are better options than relying on whatever a handful people decide to share here.

There’s value in public commentary too. It may not be as polished as these articles but it provides a variety of perspectives, questions and criticism that might be pertinent, and for as lacking or biased as they may be, it’s much easier to tell compared to sources trying to pretend impartiality.

There’s a reason why we are here and not on, say, Feedly. This particular community only highlights it further, since it’s entirely based on the interpersonal element. Ain’t nobody looking for journalism or scientific articles on !Showerthoughts

Gotta wonder how that robot feels about humanity

They were kind of a Kant

I like mechanical web shooters better but that scene was pretty funny

This is literally the very first thing he tries to do in the comics before he becomes Spider-Man and it doesn’t work because the people he reached out for thought it was too short-lived.

But also, needing to juggle real life responsibilities like having a job is one of the main appeals of Spider-Man as compared to, say, the Avengers.

I know, Rick kinda is the ultimate representation of that, both ways.

Some people are so petty or have such bad self-esteem that they will contemplate the infinite only as a means to put someone else/themselves down

They are just willing to ride or die with fossil fuels as the status quo and the Economy as the most important measure of anything.

If strangers kept jumping on my back to get a ride I’d be like that too.

Feels like that going against the spirit of the thing. If they are recovering, it isn’t a dying process.

But for that they would need to be increasingly weakened without the chance to recover, and there is only so far that can be pushed. If it’s just prolonged torture that doesn’t make the person any closer to death, then it’s just torture.

Well, the topic is horrible but since we are already at it why not just get it done with?

Would a too prolonged suffering count as a painful death if the person is not dying for most of it? Many people live with chronic pains but I wouldn’t count that.

At some point it will probably reach a limit where one needs to be unusually susceptible to pain to die an even more painful death.

It’s terrifying at first, but if you reflect over it further it becomes natural. Sure, we can’t guarantee that we are the same continuous individual, but “not sleeping” would only see us have a more profound and permanent discontinuity. It’s not a possibility for us. Still, we do carry something of the people we used to be regardless. Consciousness vanishes and recreates itself, as do most of our cells. We are evolving entities, as is everyone around us.

This existential fear is rooted on a desire for permanence that we never had to begin with. There was never a fixed self that we could possibly know.

Biological malware is the worst.
