Frankly, I’d be amazed if those astronauts up there would be willing to take the return trip on it.

Why would you be surprised? They both have military experience... they do what they are told. Also they trust NASA and Boeing enough to be launched in the craft to begin with.

Cucumb her? I hardly know her!

lol getting downvoted simply for driving an f-150

Edit: Downvoted by the guy with the walk-in closet I guess. Lucky bastard.

Nope. My closet is thin but wiiide. I can touch its width, but not its length

You know art / art history is a subject of study at the majority of universities?

Yep, and I think that's great! Learning to make and appreciate art should be something everyone has a chance to do. Those programs at universities are great for learning principles of art. They teach you the "rules". However, once you leave that class, you don't have to follow any of those rules if you don't want to. Learning the rules is great because then you know where you can break them.

I like a lot of music that most people would despise. I am very glad that there are artists that are willing to make such music, even though the masses will not appreciate it.

example: https://carlstone.bandcamp.com/track/sumiya

Art is simply not a free-for-all concept where everything produced is equal, that is only what bad artists want to believe.

I do feel that art is indeed a free-for-all. Anyone can create it, anyone can view it. Art means different things to different people and therefore it's not productive to put certain art above other pieces of art. Even if 1000 people think a painting is horrible looking, if 1 person enjoys it, it was still worth creating that piece

Good art is relevant, bad art is irrelevant.

There is tons of good art that is "irrelevant". Ever taken a stroll through Bandcamp? There is so much music there that maybe only 100 people have listened to, even if its gorgeous sounding. Relevance doesn't have anything to do with quality.

you think animals are not sentinent,right?

No, absolutely not. Animals are without a doubt sentient. Unless they are a sea sponge or something.

I wish lemmy had the ability to save comments to folders, like email. This could go in the "Wild Takes" folder. Seriously, what metric would you use to objectively measure all art? Even a survey of people is going to be biased based on who you sample and its still a subjective opinion of people

music is not art. not all. not even close. it is entertainment at best.

I feel like you and the 4 people who upvoted your comment have commodified music too much. It's easy to do these days with all the streaming services and such that exist to commodify it. But music isn't always purely entertainment, It's something created for a purpose by real people.

is a melody made by a bird a lower level of creativity than a melody made by you?

Probably so. Bird melodies serve a biological purpose to the bird, as a form of communication. The bird doesn't intend to make music, us humans just interpret it that way

I predict "AI" will get better and start generating things that are indiscernible from real art and music in the future. However, that doesn't mean it will replace artists. Because while AI generated stuff is kinda neat... there isn't any spirit behind it. With real music and art, people are creating it because they enjoy doing it and every step of the process they have control over. With AI art its just a computer pumping out garbage, even if it is engineered to sound or look good. I don't know if I'm doing a good job explaining what I mean lol

Right click the bed when there are no monsters nearby of course. What kind of question is that?

So is Mullvad browser as well

That's not really a good take though. You don't need to be intelligent or social to be worthy of the moral consideration to not be eaten. Otherwise we'd be eating babies.

I speed, and so does everyone else

Why?

Through the magic of falling in love with the two of them…

Is that a reference to the Technology Connections magic of buying two of them?

It doesn't seem like this program has anything to do with "curing" cancer. It's just about preventing, treating, and researching. It doesn't explicity mention animal testing on the whitehouse.gov page. I'd say its a program with good goals.

thinking out loud

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Ask an AI for inspirational messages appropriate for these circumstances.

Don't need to ask an AI when every website is AI-generated blogspam these days

Those AI dating sites always have the creepiest uncanny valley profile photos. Its fun to scroll them sometimes.
