i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.

Gotta have better sleepovers then. Ones where vibrators are welcomed, not shamed

Until lossy compression compresses it out because it’s not visible to the human eye

Lmao, people don’t need to stop being online to see and feel the problem. A lot fucking live it, feel it on their own, or a loved one’s, skin

I haven’t seen it, I’m younger than the movie and nobody really talked about it in any significant capacity

What if it’s impossible to leverage it without falling into a cyberpunk dystopia?

Not entirely true, there is the thermoelectric generator too. Though it’s not very practical

Genuine question, what’s wrong with stock footage? What else should they use?

Until you need to verify if the computer understood and solved the problem properly

It’s like, sure, a calculator can help you solve equations… but what is the proper equation for the situation?

A place where you won’t get sick, at a minimum

I can’t even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they’re not gonna go to an alternative discord

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service

Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it’s not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities

Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we’re far from that point still

I do

Maybe because reading is a sign of being intelligent/cultured in people’s mind, and people on average value that slightly more than physical fitness

Because knowledge is a preventative measure to being manipulated

People also say that knowing that historical events happened don’t benefit them, would you agree with that too? These things are a lot more nuanced than just what direct benefit they give you. Knowing the basics of how our world works, including how nature works, is useful.

You have no idea how many times I had to explain evolution to people because it was relevant to the conversation and where they were tricked by some weird bullshit. Gaps in knowledge are exploitable, but not only that, the more you know, the higher your capability of connecting concepts together in a sound manner is

Knowing how evolution works has been generally useful in my life, and I am very happy I know how it roughly works, and the field I’m in is nowhere near biology or chemistry or nature

The pythagorean theorem or the theory of evolution is not “super niche knowledge”… Do you understand how foundational the pythagorean theorem is? Or how important knowing the theory of evolution is to understand how nature works?

And the periodic table of elements is literally the building blocks of our reality. Sure, less critical knowledge then the other two, but still vital in my opinion

I mean, how much scaremongering about “chemicals” and stuff could be resolved if people just knew the very basics of chemistry?

These things very much tie into being a rational citizen of the world that actually knows how the world works and doesn’t live in fantasyland. This is literally just stuff to ensure that we share a common fundamental view of reality

It’s not distance to mirror, it’s the focal length. The focal length of our eyes is static

We’re about to see a fascist america, and this is what you’re worried about?

Do you also feel bad for the Nazis in pre-war germany who got harmed? Or even killed? Chances are you don’t

Our world is about to become very different to what we’re used to. Get ready for it. Playing nice won’t win you the war

What about the publisher take two tho

The big difference is that the DayZ standalone title was controlled by Bohemia Interactive, Rocketwerkz meanwhile is Dean’s studio.

I mean, I get that I don’t have an insider view or anything, but Rocketwerkz has proven itself reliable

In addition, DayZ is like a decade or more old, even in the worst case things might just change
