I think of this as being straight up horrifying. This isn't exciting, this is going to be dystopian nightmare fuel. It's not hard to imagine this being imbedded into human beings against their will too, like prisoners in the US.

I would rather be a Borg, at least they were motivated by a collective good will to move to perfection, not puppets of a dying capitalist state and it's related ideology.

No? It doesn't feel like Reddit / Lemmy though either. I don't have an account, but it feels really dead compared to Lemmy. I considered switching to Tildes, but the communities are too wide, like there isn't a Futurama community, just a TV one, there isn't a Retro games community, just a games one.

It makes sense when you have a small userbase, but I care about niche communities and Lemmy offers that, and some are even slightly alive here.

He's only making a Tildes app 😞

I thought it was amazing. It played and felt like Quake in terms of gameplay. No slowdown. I played on a physical cart for Switch.

No, I completely agree. I'm center left and see a lot of this coming from the left too. I was surprised to see all the agreement that it's only from the 'right', it is totally both, without question.

More people should adopt deeper models of politics, like six or nine axis models because that's how you really get at the features that drive censorship and limiting free speech.

No, I don't see any possible solution to continuity of consciousness. See Walk like a Dinosaur to understand the implications, but basically you would need to destroy the original and duplicate it from scratch.

If there is such a thing as a soul, it would likely be impossible to duplicate, but even if not, you would have to destroy the original.

I miss these, they were so funny. Absolutely a meme.

Lemmy has almost half a million accounts ( 400k ) with over 1.5 million posts. lemmy.world grew by ~30k new accounts in June.

Others grew by single digit thousands, so the migration seems to be about ~50k new users to Lemmy.

That's not trivial, Reddit had those kind of numbers in like 2007. Give it time.

2008 was just a series of four movies though, even though now it has been split into episodes. Those were one off to guage interest.

My God yes, and let me long press a picture to save.

I'm a big fan of that too. I even have the Kyoshi books.

Avatar by M. Night. Legit one of my favorite movies.

I still can't really tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps, so I run everything at 30 with higher settings. I feel like I'm winning.

That don't mean nothing, are you their sister? Answer bro

I felt this way for a long, long time, and I mostly still agree, but I love the universe.

I loved the animated Hobbit from the 80s and I highly enjoyed the Amazon Rings of Power series though, so I think there is something to the universe, just these movies aren't actually good ( to me )

One of the most amazing puzzle games

Even though I'm left leaning I don't agree with ACAB takes because it literally isn't all police, so I don't agree with the institution of law enforcement being bad, and recognize that it adds value to society. The flag, idk, flags are just cloth to me, I could care less about allegiance to a country, especially when I disagree a lot with what my country does, or where its politics are heading.

I watched the Bo Burnham clip, lots of funny, it's pretty on the nose.

I haven't heard the song, but I just read the lyrics and I'm honestly not interpreting it as a racist song. I did grow up in the southeast US so I may have some biases, but the wording and phrases all read safe to me, at least in regards to racism.

The lyrics convey to me a small town mentality of 'you mess with them you've messed with me' which is a prevalent southern attitude, but the only thing he references are criminals, not a marginalized group.

I do lean left with most of my views, I'm anti capitalist, pro free speech, pro tax funded healthcare, pro trans rights and anti racism, so I feel like I should be exactly the demographic that would be sensitive to overt and even potentially subtle racism.

That said, I do think that vigilante justice is super problematic, and so even though I don't agree this song is racist, I do counter propose the song encourages mob justice mentality, which is a different kind of problem that also matters.

If I'm missing critical details or context, please let me know. I have only read the lyrics, so insofar as that conveys, that's my read.

This is a big reason I'm anti capitalist as well, it has no mechanism outside of regulation for controlling the usage of resources, and so long as something is profitable it will be pursued.

This natural result is the regulation reduces profit and it is an adversarial relationship. Because Capitalism is incapable of this, and runaway consumption is driving climate change and many ecological problems, Capitalism must either be tamed and tightly controlled, or most likely replaced with a resource aware system, such as a central planning system that considers resource consumption and weighs it against ecological considerations.

To fix things, a drastic shift is necessary, and actually is so far overdue that it's likely too late to do anything other than a near paradigm shift.
