Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

Well, that doesn't matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

I just want to point out that Greta Thunberg is 22 years old. She's been an adult for 4 years now

That's the thing, it's not an established console line

And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known

The bigger issue is nukes I think. You cannot overthrow a regime militarily these days, countries have simply a tool that is far too destructive to realistically risk it

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn't be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

Except it would still have severe consequences if it's intelligence. Especially if it may label the person as a traitor

To me minimalism is about consciously thinking about what items I keep in my environment. Mostly this means I don't buy random stuff unless I'm certain I'm going to use it, so I wouldn't even have a canoe in the first place

I do not like when there's a lot of stuff, it stresses me out and overwhelms me, and generally, in my experience, just causes more issues than it solves in the long run. That doesn't mean you should throw away stuff you might need, but more that you actively think about the things you have, instead of mindlessly gathering more

So, what if I were to, say, inherit a canoe and had the space to store it? Would I throw it away? No, but I would donate it to a school yard sale

Well like, you could have a hammer without the canoe, you know

Minimalism isn't about "as little as possible". It's about only having what you need. Basic tools are part of the "only what you need", unless you got readily access to a shared supply of tools

Where? In my country there isn't less variety, no

As a rule of thumb, there typically are very few people clamoring for volunteer leader positions. It's a constant problem you see even in irl non-profit organizations, unless they're fairly big/famous

It just turns out that, it's actually just a lot of responsibility and work. Most people realize this, and don't have the capacity to do the work, so often there even are no candidates for the leader positions.. until someone reluctantly steps up because otherwise the organization would die

At least, that's my experience in the real life organizations and clubs I've volunteered in

Britain was also broke after WW2, and couldn't really afford, nor did they want to, keeping India

So in a way India's freedom was fought and won violently, it just wasn't mainly India's violence

Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

You need to rebuild roads to maintain them every couple decades anyway. That cost is already baked in, it just depends what you so with it

I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There's no biological reason for why that can't happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You'd be less exposed to predators etc

The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it's a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

I wouldn't call bread or yoghurt prepared instead of processed personally though, they've been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That's stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference

I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something

I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

But nah, I really do think it's extreme. Pre-made food isn't bad for you

Either that or I'm just being European, idk

People didn't use to call those AI images. They used to call them images with a filter

Sure, some form of machine learning was involved, but so was your Google search for the previous decade. Unless one specifies what one means by AI, I still stand by my statement

In addition, OP's image was still real, even if it had a filter on. A lot of people's images have such filters on, especially since often they're applied automatically. That's the whole difference and the point

So I see people arguing whether this is AI or not and I just wanna say that

What people should take away from all of this is that we're rapidly approaching a point where we're simply unable to accurately determine whether something is generated or not. And we, as individuals and as a society, are not ready for that. We're heading into a different world, and we better prepare for it, as well as re-examine our relationship to art and images before we're forced to do so by the circumstances
