If you know about the Tree-star, it's time to have a doctor check out your B-star.

Man, I fucking love LJS and wish I had one within driving distance.

Nothing like ordering a fish & chicken plank combo and not knowing which of the identical diamond-shaped planks is which before biting.

Personally, I think it's extremely unlikely. That's why I think Apatheism is the way:

The theist says there is a God with certainty, the atheist says there is no God with certainty, the agnostic says we cannot be certain the existence of God, and the apatheist says "guys why are we wasting our time stressing out about unknowables? Let's go get a pizza."

This suggests a cosmic reason or purpose, yet I find no evidence for that conclusion exists.

There just might simply not be a "why?"

Absolutely. But the harrowing part is realizing this applies to some folks we deem delusional in the context of our world too.

And was probably said by various people before that too, whatever. The point is this is an obvious derivative.

My friend, we cannot even prove that our entire life is real.

We know the human mind is capable of extreme delusion, we can observe this in mentally unwell patients who are convinced their delusions are reality.

So if we acknowledge the human mind is capable of delusion, delusion so strong to be certain in its veracity, then there is no way that we can confidentially conclude that anything and everything we know isn't delusion.

So in short, there is no way to definitively prove the internet is real because we can't even definitely prove that reality is real.

I could be laying in my crib right now having imagine this and every interacting leading up to it entirely, just waiting to wake up. Literally every single thing I think I know could actually fully and completely not exist. The only thing I can be certain of in all reality is that I exist because I am considering my reality: I think, therefore I am.

Somebody really enjoyed the success of the quicksand tweet and was hoping for an encore

Have you considered trying to think of the vocals as another music element rather than lyrical? Like if a musician scats, can you enjoy that? And if so, can you not just consider the poor enunciation a sort of scatting and stop trying to pull words out of it?

Not saying you're right or wrong, just curious where the limits on this are

I tried to look into this, but I couldn't figure out how any of it works.

Also my name is Violent J

This is all true, but thankfully tea exists which is both caffeinated and unlike coffee doesn't taste like somebody already digested it.

For extra accuracy you should have made it a repost with tons of engagements of an original post by a different users with barely any engagements

No you don't

I agree with you, but I do believe that is an unrealistic expectation for interacting with casual lemmy posts when a custom of including relevant context exists. But all good, I'll admit my lack of awareness on this one; you did nothing wrong.

It’s been covered in tons of gaming circles this week alongside the similar destruction of Polygon, so I didn’t think it needed to be stated yet again as I was summarizing bullet points from a live stream.

Very fair and valid.

I will just gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems "yet again" to you might be a first time for others.

It is impossible to fully understand loss as it happened without being around to witness what an absolute shitbag Buckley had been online for a long time preceding it. A big part of what made loss so ridiculous was it being so sanctimonious from the internet's most childish shithead.

Oh so Mary does it and people spend the next thousand years making statues and paintings in her honor, but Elena does it and gets blasted on social media?

Hypocrites

"to what happened with Giant Bomb"

Boy I sure am glad that seemingly-crucial part of context was included in this post.

...

That's the meaning you imbue life with; it's not inherent to its state.

You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn't exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

edit: If you're gonna downvote, have the balls to explain how I'm wrong.
