I mean, it’s not AI doing this. AI doesn’t have a gun to anyone’s head.

Ahhh, fine, I guess it’s my turn anyway. I’ll be back in a bit.

It’s not talking about music, it’s talking about humans. If this chart is meaningful, it should apply regardless of fashion. Otherwise it’s not talking about humans, it’s talking about recent trends in music.

awwww my weird little pet had that exact poster

as if this chart had the centuries of data needed to be meaningful

While Jesus is an authority and primary source on a number of things, He is neither of those things for compassionate love. I think in this decontextualized instance, “thy neighour” actually has a specific meaning that is being stripped, possibly referring to the other tribes of Israel, such as in his parable about the good Samaritan that people commonly misunderstand. I wouldn’t be willing to draw much from it without a much deeper reading.

I’m not making a dogmatic argument, I’m making a much more grounded claim about psychology and spirituality. Compassionate love is a real thing that we know stuff about.

Compassionate love does not require kindness and generosity in the way you mean those words. It does not require making yourself vulnerable to danger, it does not require giving material or emotional support. You should still be able to recognize and respond to the humanity in a flawed person.

I know this is fuck cars but FUCK INSTAGRAM

This is clearly a sacrificial altar.

Somebody took a truck off the road, and you’re complaining about it. Fuck cars, dude.

So, you vegan, then? Or just empathy for your close circle and other psychological extensions of yourself?

You… admire them??

They fucking absolutely do. And even if they didn’t, I’m sorry to tell you, killing animals that don’t want to die is cruel and violent. Doing so for sensory pleasure or wealth is deeply wrong. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

Your second point is speculative. It’s something you clearly don’t know, but you’re choosing to believe because it gives cover and distraction to cruelty and violence.

I make jokes about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIFF_(Usenet) and /. and no one already understands me.

I just cook whatever is in season and eat it plain.

Okay, but that’s kind of their job? Like have we not set up an adversarial system where capitalist interests are morally obliged to do exactly that shit? They are by definition and by nature going to exploit every opportunity to arbitrage a situation. If we give them all our water and tell them it’s free, they’re going to use it.

Corporations are processes. Politicians are human beings. One of those things has MORAL AGENCY, and one of them doesn’t. Can you tell me which is which?

Disabled people and poor people are both disproportionately negatively affected by automobiles. The idea that they “have” to have access to a car because they are disabled isn’t proof that disability requires cars, it’s proof that even the people who can least afford it are burdened with having to have a car.

you attack[ed] a 10 year old

just wanna leave that there like its a sane thing to say? criticizing ideas is not attacking people, even if they happen to be ten.

why get mad at data centres using the cheapest legal option instead of politicians selling out our legacy for basically nothing

also what the fuck did everyone think “the information economy” would look like

Are you a tree?

okay but those are all still toys. is it used for anything practical?
