There is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

Ask Lemmy•Who do you want to be? and how close are you to becoming that person?
2·16 hours agoNo one is stopping me from becoming a different person if I wanted to so the fact that I’m not taking dramatic steps to change indicates that I’m probably roughly where I want to be.
I do admire people like Andrew Camarata for their work ethic, but again - nothing is stopping me from doing the same, yet I don’t, so maybe I just want the results, not what it actually takes to get there.
My role model is Snufkin character from the Moomin cartoon/anime. A quiet, humble, independent professional.

News•Young co-pilot, 20, named as one of nine victims of deadly Florida plane crash
146·16 hours agoNobody needs X is a moot point. You also don’t need the vast majority of your possessions. Some things are simply nice to have, especially when you can afford them. There are just things that you don’t like other people having.
Also, the chance of you dying on a place crash either as a passenger or a person on the ground is astronomically small. 104 people died in a car crash yesterday in the US alone and this is true for every single day of the year.

Unpopular Opinion•We should be happy about the jet crash in TexasEnglish
4·17 hours agoYay for pre-emptive death penatly for crimes yet to be commited.
There’s even a thread about it.

Ask Lemmy•What purpose will humans have when AI will be able to do all thinking for us?
1·21 hours agoThere is no single right answer to that as nobody knows what the actual outcome of it would be.
Best case scenario is that AI (and advanced robots) do everything you don’t want to do and you can focus on the other things. It would cancel the need for human labour and theoretically has the capability to answer all questions and solve all problems that there is a solution to.
In the worst case it either destroys us entirely or worse, creates a hell for us to live in.
An every imaginable scenario in between.
Sorry for your loss!
It’s not that hard to give an ounce of respect for them and their loved ones.
Which is exactly why I’m advocating for the people celebrating this to listen to said audio.
Except if you’re one of the people celebrating this because a business jet was mentioned, then please do listen to the audio.
It wasn’t a summary of this thread. I gave it the title and the platform and asked it to come up with the most predictable responses. It never saw what was already written here. Also, I’m paying 30 euros a month to use said AI.
I gave it no link to this thread. Only the title and the platform and asked it to predict the most likely responses.
It’s not a summary of this thread. I gave it the title and the platform in question and asked it to make an educated guess on what the responses here are going to be like.
It produced response one way or another. Is there something wrong with it content-wise? Because even in the case of it being a direct quote taken from somewhere else, it would only further make my point: this place being a caricature of itself to the point that articles are being written about it.

Ask Lemmy•Do people who deserve to suffer deserve to be helped?
131·2 days agoYes, not even the worst people you can imagine. I don’t believe in free will so I don’t view these people as ultimately responsible for what they are. They could not
behave acted otherwise and any kind of punishment carries the implicit assumption that they could have but actively choose not to.If someone intentionally causes immense suffering to others and is unable to stop that behaviour then I think these people should be locked away. Not as a punishment but to defend the innocent. If a bear wanders into a neighbourhood and mauls a person, we shoot the bear but not out of retribution. If we could tell it to go back to the forest and stay there, and it did, then it wouldn’t make much sense to follow it there and make it suffer to even things out, would it?

Ask Lemmy•Do people who deserve to suffer deserve to be helped?
372·3 days agoThe premise falsely (in my view) assumes there are people who deserve to suffer.
There would definitely be a disproportionate amount of violence in the men’s side of the planet but I still think you’re not quite giving men enough credit there - after all we’re evolved for teamwork. Random group of men put together tend to naturally form a group hierarchy and pick a leader. Not always peacefully, though.
Limit exposure to the paralyzing firehose of information and focus on my immediate surroundings and things I actually have some control over. There are multiple things I can do today that make my tomorrow better.
Ideally you should find a resident couple. That way you know you’re always interacting with the same birds. Then you just wait and offer them food and let them come get it instead of taking it to them. They observe you closely and they will remember and recognize you. The intention is to teach to them that you’re not a threat and that you reliably produce food.








You’re asking for even more financial stress for probably closer to a billion people who are already struggling. The rich do not care what the fuel costs.
