Let me know when you start smelling with your eyes lol

You actually nailed it. Glittering is attractive to all things with eyes because it represents water which is needed for life. Thats why car manufacturers use chrome in specific areas like the logo or a line they want you to notice to attract our lizard brain.
- Comment on How do first time movie writers ensure someone along the way won't get ripped off? Like say Jay in the mail room sees your scripts and develops it himself, what recourse is there against mail clerk? 6 days ago:
Be honored its worth stealing. And be happy you didnt have to put up the cash to test the market. Also, your first movie won’t be your best work. There is another in you. When you write the 2nd one use the lawsuit to pay for its creation and it will market itself with the drama.

Na too late. My mind is already blown and creating a new reality where food is media. I like this new world and don’t intend to leave.

- Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld 2 months ago:
Ive got the brick. Not the brick hammer. And it’s really quite fun to have. I’d whip it out on public transport or a plane faster than my steamdeck just because it’s less bulky. I mostly play pico-8 games on it.
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 3 months ago:
Ads are actually pretty incredible. If no one knows your brand, all it takes is money to tell em. It’s like a short cut compared to having a good product and word of mouth.
Its essentially like a cold call, but you know the audience is at least generally interested in your topic because of targeting. All that data that is being taken and sold from you, is being sold to avertizers.
Pay Google for getting on search on Google and youtube.
Pay meta to get ads on Insta and Facebook.
If you spend $500 to sell a $3000 product, it’s a no brainer. Ita basically printing money when it works. So yeah, companies are paying when the results match. But also when they are testing the waters to see if its worth it to them.
- Comment on Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking 4 months ago:
That pip on the top of a baseball cap is dangerous under a helmet. Its essentially saying, ‘hey coordinate all the shock right here’ like a little pin hammer. Get yourself a cycling cap for under the helmet. Way more comphy too.
But yeah id go with the hook it to your belt loop. Maybe with a carabiner so you dont stress the snapback

Maybe just ‘i am efficient’. Splitting it into 3 words one of which is fish ads confusion and additional processing to the receiving brain which is not efficient.
- Comment on Hackers Threaten to Submit Artists' Data to AI Models If Art Site Doesn't Pay Up 7 months ago:
if the ai models are happy using stolen data, whos to say they havent already scraped the site themselves.
if your data is on the net, its already being swiped i think.
i wouldnt pay it if i were them. as if they arent gonna sell the data anyway for a lil extra cash, morals mean nothing to thieves.

- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
so as it turns out after doing further research, there are theories of truth. and we are both correct 😂
Correspondence Theory: Something is true if it corresponds to reality. In applying this theory, we look for factual evidence to justify our beliefs.
When you say “The Eiffel Tower is in Paris,” if the Eiffel Tower is indeed in Paris (which it is), your statement is true.
Coherence Theory: The belief is logically consistence within a system of beliefs. Your belief is coherent with your other beliefs, making it true under this theory.
Imagine you believe that “All humans need food to survive” and you also believe that “John is a human.” From these, you logically conclude that “John needs food to survive.”
Pragmatic Theory: Truth is what works or is practical.
If you believe that “studying hard leads to good grades” and you actually get good grades by studying hard, your belief proves true in a practical sense.
Other Theories: Other theories, like the Constructivist or Consensus theories, offer unique ways of assessing truth. They remind us that truth can be seen differently depending on cultural, social, or individual lenses.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
so truth then would also be absolute? and not a human perception?
i feel like humans use truth more relatively. perhaps there should be distinctions between absolute truth and relative truth in the english language.
some people ‘believe’ aliens to be true. believe in a truth. you shouldnt have to believe a truth if it has no counterpoint. like if gravity is truth. you shouldn’t be able to believe in it. it should just happen to you.

whos to define reality? was it not truth that the sun orbited the earth? reality is also the most popular theory. string theory could be truth. president names in epstein files could be truth. if someone doctors the list before it hits the courts, and its voted on as true, it becomes truth to society while not matching reality.
i think we are circling the same idea from different angles. kinda fun, thanks for the critical thinking sparring.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
it has to be the definition though. human understanding is limited, therefore what we believe is fact, can theoretically be ‘wrong’ and disproven in the future by new advancements in science. so ‘truth’ is just belief in fact.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
truth is just the most common belief. not 100% factual.
it was once truth the world was flat, then the sun revolved around the earth. then the world was round. next will be the earth is a tesseract. then finally truth will be earth is a hexigon the bestigon and we can finally rest.
