It just takes enough time to go by that society forgets about this kind of thing and it can rise up from the ashes again.
The Pinkertons or military being deployed on strikers wasn't all that long ago historically, but long enough that most of us don't feel it could happen now.
I don't know if I need this, as I felt everything was done pretty well as it was in 0 and Kiwami 2, but since all the characters and actors are so good with these roles, I definitely want to see it.
I'd be a bit annoyed if this isn't eventually a free patch to the PlayStation, and I don't know if I'd pay for it, but having this a Nintendo exclusive permanently seems an odd decision.
Work does suck the life out of me, but I'd hope I can still pass a Turing test! 😜
There's always going to be people that value facts and knowledge and they will always find each other for their own sanity.
With a focus on animal stuff, there is a lot of AI that I come across to try to win cuteness karma. I do see some convincing looking things that make me do a double take, because animals can do some weird things after all, but some stuff is never going to be physically possible. Some color combos just don't exist. It may take a more trained eye to spot things, but there's still going to be people calling stuff out and there will be forums where things will get pulled down if they're not real.
In that regard, I worry about some real things being lost, at least to view to some of the general public, where real things that can't be verified get downvoted/taken down/etc. But those with real interest will still work to conclusively verify or disprove things of questionable value.
People just want truth to get out. Whether you're interested in education or conspiracy, from whichever direction most of us approach things, we just want to know the truth to the best of our abilities. That does bring inherent troubles and creates avenues to poison the well, but as hard as the bad actors will work, the good actors will be working to clean it just as hard.
ETA:
Trust is almost becoming a thing of the past because of unprecedented digital threats.
I also encourage people to question me. I'm happy to be able to confirm things, because I want you to also learn what I have learned, because I found it cool enough to study and share with you already. Questioning what I present to you also leads me to learn about more things, exploring subject matter I wouldn't have thought to pursue on my own, or to finally learn about something I've been meaning to get to. Someone questioning my knowledge is both an opportunity for me to teach and to learn. And if I was wrong, hopefully afterwards I will know what is correct, and that has strengthened me as a whole if I accept I was wrong and have learned from the experience and not acted immaturely about it.
We just collectively need to improve vetting sources. It's something we can do individually, or collectively through moderation.
I mainly just share pics here, but I do try to give a decent chunk of educational content as well. I take what I share seriously, because I want it treated seriously at times. I'm honest I'm not an expert, just a hobbyist. I always include sources or share if it's something from my personal limited experience. I try to verify things from at least 2 sources before sharing things if it's a new source. I always try to be clear if I'm hypothesizing about something and I'm not certain of it.
It's probably taking my content more seriously than necessary, but I take pride in what I post and I want to be seen as a trusted person in the community.
I think the last few years have made it clear to anyone capable of understanding that we can no longer just take people at their word without some process of establishing trust. Like anything else, we can wait for someone else to fix it, or we can up our own games, on both providing and receiving information.
I liked seeing my score in the beginning, as coming from being a long time lurker, it made it feel like I was contributing to building Lemmy.
Now my post and comment counts are higher than I ever would have thought, so I'm fine without it. As the score doesn't count for anything, now I find it more satisfying to see my actual contribution.
Wow, the original casserole makes the pizza version sound better! 😁
It should make sense that the spread of quick and odd casseroles was a worldwide thing. None of us were spared these strange concoctions.
The kebab pizza does sound pretty amazing. It's not that kebabs are hard to find in America, at least in most places I've been, but I'm always surprised they aren't more mainstream. With all the mega chain fast food we have, none of it is as good as your random kebab, it's not any faster, and I wouldn't be shocked if the kebab was at least marginally healthier, more filling, and has less weird stuff in it. It's not like a kebab is much different component-wise than a typical burger, and it's just as, if not moreso customizable.
I appreciate it! I'm checking out a store in CT to maybe place an order since I'm in 1 day shipping range.
Getting perishables that I have no clue how they're supposed to taste to begin with from strangers has me a little cautious. At least for the first time. No offense! 😁
I saw the sheep and cabbage, and I was expecting more of a stew, but all the pics looks like meat cut a minimum amount to fit in the pot with a quartered cabbage head tossed in. I mean, I'm sure I'd still like it as I like lamb (never found mutton here) and cabbage, but they don't really seem to have gone for any kind of enticing presentation.
The lye part of the lutefisk doesn't turn me off so much, but the descriptions calling it jelly-like don't make my mouth water. Especially as it has the bones still in it if I recall correctly.
Whale has always intrigued me, but I feel I've heard more bad than good about the taste, plus I'd probably feel really bad about trying it.
The tariff seems surprisingly low at 15% as far as I can tell, but I'm not sure Dear Leader's current mood. That shipping looks as though it could add up quickly, especially compared to the price of actual product being mailed if we're talking junk food! 😄
The banana was the main sticking point for me as well, but with all the other stuff, I can't imagine you'd get much banana flavor coming through, just a sweetness and texture.
This just made me remember my brother used to do the thing Mr Rogers recommended: putting a slice of American cheese around a banana. There's gotta be some weird food chemistry at work here if banana + cheese pops up multiple places...
It is a nice feeling to see it means something to all of you!
