I'm so tired of people saying not voting for biden is completely equivalent to voting for trump, but this is stupid.

Yeah and it is crap. The rule needs fuckin banned from school administrators being allowed to use it, it only exists to protect the school from liability at the expense of the safety of children, it is beyond stupid.

She defended herself after he attacked her you goob.

There is no defensible argument for suspending her. She very clearly defended herself.

Hi! I don't know what this means.

Ehh, they have parts similar in their concepts but in practice I wouldn't say they are super similar. Pretty different vibes.

Edit: also Vintage Story is exactly as hard as you want it to be, the world gen and difficulty settings have a lot of options.

It started life as a minecraft mod called vintagecraft. I believe you could say terrafirmacraft was one of it's inspirations. They made this a standalone game when they got frustrated with minecraft's limitations.

Nice to see it on lemmy. I really like this game, feels like the Primitive Technology videogame.

Edit: I should point out that this game also has amazing mod support and there are good mods for it. If you like modding minecraft you will like this game, I'm almost certain.

In minecraft, if you wanna mine some iron, you punch a tree, use the wood to slap out a wooden pickaxe, grab some stone with it, then make a stone pickaxe, and you can mine it.

In vintage story you can't mine rock until you have a pickaxe, the lowest level of which is copper. You have to knap stone tools from rocks you find on the ground, and you can't make wood into planks until you have a saw (also needs metal). To get started with metalworking you have to explore and find copper bits sitting on the ground untill you have a lot, make crucibles and molds out of clay and fire them in a pit kiln, burn wood into charcoal in a pit (because wood doesn't burn hot enough to melt copper), and then you can melt and pour your copper into a mold. Do that with a pickaxe head mold, put it on a stick, and now you can mine stone. Then go find some more metals and do that some more because to mine iron you actually need a bronze pickaxe.

I had to be nihilistic for a while before I could realize everything was important. From flies to people to stars to dirt. Our human brains are a filter that cuts away stuff irrelevant to our survival and leaves us with a false perspective, a perspective where value is determined by only our needs. In truth, every person, every animal, every piece of matter, and more are infinitely important participatory pieces of an unimaginably important universe.

I think they are arguing that using disney stuff as training data would be the infringement, and if the logo showed up in generated images, that would be proof they did that.

But I'm guessing because it is phrased weird if they meant that. Idk.

You are right, I was exaggerating and it was unfair to the people that do actively work towards prison reform. Not the best way to phrase it.

But I still see a difference in the number of people particularly interested in prison reform everytime some asshole like this is making prison violence newsworthy. Even if everyone's intentions are pure, I find it somewhat misguided.

Honestly I'm too tired rn to give this conversation the fair amount of attention and I considered just not responding but

IMO the conversation about him should be the context of what can be done to change the systems in place to prevent more people like him from being put in positions of power in the first place. I can't exactly hand wave and make that happen, but honestly both takes on this seem like distractions from the point to me. "No one deserves this" and "haha fuck him" are both unproductive conversation towards preventing the kind of crimes he commited, but at least "haha fuck him" is cathartic and brief.

If you respond to me and I don't respond back I'm not trying to be rude I'm just tired

I understand why it happens I just find it disappointing. Derails the conversation from where it should be and reduces the efficacy of the arguments for prison reform to use them in the context of this guy.

All the people taking this opportunity to say "no one should get stabbed in prison" and criticizing anyone who doesn't, maybe talk about prison reform at literally any other time? Seriously, it would be nice if this many people were always pointing out the flaws in our prisons. But it seems like there is always mystically more people criticizing the state of our prisons whenever a terrible person gets fucked with.

I say, until we do fix our prisons, people like this getting fucked up don't deserve our concern, it is wasted sympathy for someone who would not return it. Worry about the people getting stabbed in prison that don't get talked about in the news.
