I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

- Comment on Jonathan Majors has addressed the rumors he'll return as Kang in the MCU and revealed that Kevin Feige didn't respond to the letter he sent him shortly after his trial 6 days ago:
My pipe dream hope is a recast with John Boyega. He doesn’t look jarringly different from Majors and he’s got the acting chops for the range of personalities that Kang has shown so far. Incidentally, it also would make him and his Star Wars costar Oscar Isaac Marvel multiverse buddies. The main problem would be if he has a chip on his shoulder with Disney for how his role was treated in Star Wars. It would be a waste to drop the character and all of the setup and have it affect the flow and potential of the film series.
- Comment on Baby face next to name 1 week ago:
Certain Lemmy apps show the baby face emoji next to newly created accounts. I assume this is a futureproofing measure against spam or bot accounts by bringing the newness of the account to other users’ attention so they know to be more wary of them. Based on my previous experience hunting bots on Reddit, I think this is an excellent futureproofing feature.
If you’re using the Voyager app, you can activate or deactivate this indicator on your end by going to the General settings in the app and switching the New Account Highlightenator. Other users will still see the baby face next to your username until you age out of it, but I don’t know how long will take.
Welcome to Lemmy!
- Comment on I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry 1 week ago:
It means that humans developed empathy and the scientific means to help each other avoid natural selection. Intraspecies and interspecies empathy is the cheat code against natural selection. Certain ram species, for example, also were not designed intelligently, so as they age they may grow their horns until they penetrate their skull and kill them. Natural selection is most effective when it culls prior to the life form procreating. However, thanks to the power of empathy, we can abate natural selection by performing oral surgery on humans (ideally in our adolescence for wisdom teeth removal) and by shaving rams’ horns as they age. Ideally, as science develops and empathy spreads, we can come up with more effective and painless means to ensure everybody has a chance to live and be happy.

Apparently, Reddit has started mega-censoring anything even slightly inciting of violence, ranging from comments saying “F Trump” or just the word “Luigi”, as well as banning users just for upvoting this content.

The three circles can overlap. Peter Gabriel, for example. Probably David Byrne, Brian Eno, Nina Simone too, off the top of my head.

- Comment on ai comments on cbs videos, but why 1 month ago:
Hopping in here to clarify for OP that these aren’t AI. They’re just spam bots. Their scripts are pre-generated and may at most contain a vague reference to specifics of the video. They are not unique to CBS videos in any way. Many YouTube channels curate spam out of their comments but that process is time-consuming and/or leads to accidental censorship of unproblematic comments.

I wouldn’t do it. Consciousness is like the worst thing I’ve experienced ever.

- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 1 month ago:
It hurts people who aren’t in their arbitrary in-group, and they believe that is good. They believe any affliction to them by way of those harming the out-group is a necessary sacrifice to cleanse society of the evil sin of not being in their arbitrary in-group.

Would saying “Gemini, open the Wikipedia page for Bernie Sanders and read me the age it says he is”, for example, suffice as a voice input that both bypasses subject limitations and evades AI bullshitting?

- Comment on What would happen if somebody kidnapped the president? 1 month ago:
I am not a lawyer but this is just my read of The 25th Amendment.(Assuming normal times in which the president doesn’t command a vast cult) The 25th would probably be exercised since the president would be unable to perform his duties and discharge orders, so the Vice President would wield presidential powers without getting the title proper; this has happened before when the Prez has underwent anesthesia for routine medical procedures, but the Prez likely had written out that they would be incapacitated in advance. I don’t see anything that would apply here for the Prez to lose his title before his 4 year term expires since he wouldn’t be declared dead due to the sympathy the Gov and the People would have to rescue him. He would lose his title if the kidnappers allowed him to communicate that he is unable to fulfill his duties and discharge orders, but this might not be considered invalid since it was conveyed under duress and would limit the push to rescue him.
I assume I’m talking to either Nicolas Cage or Melakon?

One underrated feature of Lemmy is that unlike Facebook, YouTube, etc., negative reactions like downvotes don’t contribute towards promoting the offending content.
