- Comment on be a friend to the animals 2 weeks ago:
I stopped raking years ago, and have started seeing fireflies again.
My neighbours hate it, but honestly, I’ve never understood raking in the first place. It’s autumn, and leaves are natural. What’s with the obsession to make lawns look like artificial carpeted spaces?
The leaves look nice imo. Better than a scalped layer of dying grass.
- Comment on Are bots on lemmy? 4 weeks ago:
Lemmy does have value, because the demographics are a bit more focussed here compared to much larger but more mainstream platforms, not to mention that larger platforms like reddit are already so bot-infested, they start to interfere with each other. It’s so trivial to make and deploy bots now with LLMs, I’d be very surprised if there weren’t bots here.
I think the reason we don’t notice them as much here is the quality of moderation tends to be higher (on average, so far).

I’m an ugly bag of mostly water.
- Comment on It's brioche knitting at the moment 5 weeks ago:
AI is good at some things, but terrible at creative tasks. It can make images and videos if you give it very specific prompts, but it’s awful at creative writing, for instance. It’s like a teenager who just discovered a thesaurus. Its characters are shallow caricatures, its plotting and pacing are weak, and it’s addicted to adjectives and adverbs.
It’s basically useless for anything more than emails and summaries.
It will probably get better, but right now, its writing and editing skills are abysmal. It has no soul, and it shows. And I mean the pro models. The free ones are even worse.

I could give you diarrhoea, or sepsis, or tetanus, your choice! I’m flexible and I don’t judge. I just love being inside you!

So hot.
- Comment on But why 5 weeks ago:
I completely agree. A couple of his books are okay, but most are long-winded, self-indulgent tosh that would have been far better if written by practically anyone else. Half the time, you can skip entire chapters and miss nothing, because he seems to think describing every minute aspect of every minor character’s life equals character development. Five pages cataloguing all the canned goods in Jimmy’s grandmother’s pantry, all the steps of her apple pie recipe, where she learnt it, how she decides which milk to buy, why the grocer moved the milk from aisle 5 to aisle 2, etc, etc, etc – none of it matters and it’s a slog to read.
It’s like he thinks more words equals a better novel. He is a better writer than a director, though.

Oh! That does make sense now you say it.

I’m kind of useless in the morning. Can we pencil it in for, like, 3?

Ha, yeah, definitely not right wing. Pretty much the opposite.
- Comment on Forrest Valkai on helplessness and activism 1 month ago:
He’s an evolutionary biologist. Here: Forrest Valkai YouTube.
He has many great videos on science and is really good at making science accessible. He’s also a very kind and empathetic human being.

Those arms are clearly useless for anything but hugs.

The UX of this makes me want to take it behind the barn and shoot it. Aside from all the technical failure, I get the feeling this is the project they’ve been putting their employees in for punishment for their transgressions.

Sexy.
- Comment on I am a solo developer creating a horror game where you can pet your cat to restore sanity! Here is the new trailer for The 18th Attic! Let me know your feedback :) 1 month ago:
Looks awesome. I love the cat mechanic, does the cat react to things? Animals reacting to things adds a level of creepiness, imo.
The overall ambiance looks good. Is this an escape room type thing? I’d love to check it out.
- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 1 month ago:
God is not about forgiveness and such in the New Testament. That’s a retcon by later Christians to make it more palatable.
He preached violence:
Matthew 10:34: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
He was just as happy to send people to hell:
Matthew 13:41-42: The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Every single horrible decree in the Old Testament still applies in the new (despite modern Christians trying to redefine what ‘fulfil’ means):
Matthew 5:17-18: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
That’s last one includes all the slavery, rape, genocide, etc. Jesus could have spoken out against those things, but instead he said all those judgements were just and should be continued.
Matthew 10:21: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Pretty violent, and not very loving.
And let’s not forget the revelations, in which Jesus will doom billions of people to a horrific existence followed by eternal hellfire, not for doing wrong things, but merely for not being devoted to him. Even the devout and righteous of other religions, and even babies who haven’t had the chance to sin.
Remember, Jesus is the same god as in the Old Testament – if god is eternal and unchanging (which the Bible says he is), he is literally the same entity who committed atrocities before he decided to wear human skin and sacrifice himself to himself.
This is not a loving god.

And that was young, fashionable people whinging about having to memorise things that were written down.
- Comment on oui oui 2 months ago:
Violence baguettes violence.
- Comment on 1919 (correctly) 2 months ago:
Reminder that Socrates was said to have hated books because they corrupted the youth, weakening students’ faculties by removing the need to memorise information.
Every single generation since records have existed thought the new tech was ruining us.
Now get off my fucking lawn.

Yeah, we can see that’s what you’re in. Thanks for acknowledging it.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 months ago:
The word ‘pussy’ as a pejorative predates its use as a slang for female genitalia. It actually originates from ‘pussycat’, as comparing a man to a jumpy and easily scared feline.
Man, you’re all over this thread not knowing what words mean.
It’s not misogynistic, but this one is:
Stop being a cunt. (And I say that as a woman.)

Being Jewish isn’t a shield against being ignorant, ffs.
- Comment on Charlie Kirk in his own words. 2 months ago:
Nobody is making assumptions here but you.
Your comments have been very clear.
If you’re actually Jewish, you should be far more careful with the word ‘fascist’, and you should learn about history before throwing that word around. Fascism is happening now, so being judicial with that word is more important than ever.
