I might be biased, but I can only reccomend it. Start with the EU country that vibes most with you, can’t go wrong, honestly.

I’m from a country where uncut is the norm, to the point where it’s unusual to meet a dude that’s cut, and it’s kinda fascinating to see someone being so into it.
Maybe you should move to Europe.
- Comment on David Bowie has been dead for almost a decade. 2 weeks ago:
He got punched pretty hard once, if I remember correctly. Went pretty well, got a killer look out of it.
- Comment on im soooo normal 2 weeks ago:
Huh, most people just tell me it’s relatable, and that they should probably kick it too. Also, Zuck starting to zuck even more openly seems to have helped with the ones who weren’t quite convinced.
- Comment on crying and shaking 4 weeks ago:
I dunno. I’m from a country where it isn’t common practice, so it doesn’t really affect me, and I still find it’s fucking weird, and see why people would wanna stop it.
Like, sure, there’s much, much greater injustices in the world, but that’s true for lot’s of injustices, and dealing with them sequentially sorted by impact isn’t going to work very well.

The point is that it’s a cool, complicated little machine. But you can get that for a lot less than 200k.

Better hope you have good insurance, otherwise you’re gonna have to pay for it being towed out of the environment yourself.

I was in my countries equivalent in the late '00s and early '10s, and it … really wasn’t. So I’d say that’s rather time and place dependent.

Allegedly.

Gay, and bisexual people exist, ya know.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 2 months ago:
Well, people love to complain. I didn’t feel Inquisition was as good as Origins, but I still had fun with it, and I assume the same is gonna be true for Veilguard.
Anyways, that’s curios. I think the Dragon Age Games are some of the few I own on Origin. I’d be kinda surprised if EA made the effort to patch the games on their own client, though.
Might try running it tomorrow, out of curiosity.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 2 months ago:
What problems did you have with it? Still runs surprisingly well for me. Haven’t tried Veilguard yet, but plan to as soon as I have some time. Felt that none of the sequels where able to match Origins yet, though.

You know how expensive CEOs are? Huge expense suddenly gone.
- Comment on Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent? 2 months ago:
Yes. Regardless of the second part. Don’t invest in private prisons, even if it’s sums that would seem inconsequential to the industry as a whole.

A lot of big vape brands are owned by big tobacco companies.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 2 months ago:
I mean, I don’t think I agree, but I also don’t think I’ll be able to shake that opinion, so agree to disagree, I guess.

End commercial usage of LLMs? Honestly, I’m fine with that, why not. Don’t have to agree on the reason.
I am not saying understanding the nature of consciousness better wouldn’t be great, but there’s so much research thsg deserves much more funding, and that isn’t really a LLM problem, but a systemic problem. And I just haven’t seen any convincing evidence current Models are conscious.
I feel like the last part is something the AI from the paperclip thought experiment would do.
- Comment on vines of the animal kingdom 2 months ago:
Neither the worm, nor current LLMs, are sapient.
Also, I don’t really like most corporate LLM projects, but not because they enslave the LLMs. An LLMs ‘thought process’ doesn’t really happen while it isn’t being used, and only encompasses a relatively small context window. How could something that isn’t capable of existing outside it’s ‘enslavement’ be freed?
- Comment on Anon visits the Philippines 2 months ago:
“Bitch”, I assume. Fits the context, and I think it’s on lemmy.ml’s forbidden word list.
- Comment on I just watched the wrong version of Drive (2011), and didn't realize until the last 10 minutes. Any similar stories? 2 months ago:
I’m waiting for David to show up in most media I watch. He tends to refuse, though.

Fun cat, sure, but tf is that Gucci-pentagram flooring.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 3 months ago:
Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”
I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 3 months ago:
Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

Wasn’t euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?
- Comment on Ok boomer 4 months ago:
My father was 75 when his finances had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to afford a personal secretary.
He had me explain the things he had to do, and he wrote them down on paper, step by step. He was pretty quickly able to do all the things he needed to do on his desktop.
Never got fast typing down, so I got him dictation software. Anyway, I’m pretty convinced as long as your determined, you can stay hip to new technology in a way that at least allows you to work with it.

I’d watch it.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.
The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

“Drinnen saßen stehend Leute, schweigend ins Gespräch vertieft”
There’s a whole bunch of such surrealist art, and while me being a rather lazy student for most things art history means I have no idea whether there’s a better name for it, or how connected the artists behind them are, I still tend to find them rather fascinating.
