  Actually ☝️🤓, that is a common urban myth. We have mapped virtually everything down there, we were not everywhere with submarines and cameras but as far as i know virtually all of the deep sea has been mapped from the surface and the general consensus is that there is nothing spectacular or extraordinary down there.

  Maybe an unusual or unknown species here and there, but nothing like some unknown frontier for mankind with potentially revolutionary discoveries.

  I will have a look at this, thank you for sharing your work! But also, i hope you listen to the other commenter and reach out if you need any help an online stranger can provide.

  Do you sometimes look in the mirror and question the life choices that made you a person who talks about worshipping feces on the internet?

  How so? Shareholders are the worst cancer on the economy, but at the same time hard to eliminate without a revolution.

  The proper order should be that people invest in a company they believe will do well, not because they seek to exert control over it. If you do not believe the company is operating in a profitable manner you should not buy, or sell your, shares.

  You state this is wrong. Why? In my opinion, if we must have institutionalized gambling, we should seek to keep it from exerting undue influence, even in the shareholders own long term interest. Of course this would not allow the leadership to just do whatever with the money, reporting and oversight should if anything be improved upon.

  You give that money to the Corp to get profits in return. Not a say in how the company is run, at least youre not supposed to for healthy business operations. One of, if not the biggest reason that for example steam continues to win is just they are being not overtly greedy and shortsighted. That is obviously a much healthier business model.

  … If i had a company and it were successful, and i decided to go public, i would only issue that kind of voteless share or whatever they are called, so that i would be protected from shareholder pressure to some extent. Was that not clear somehow? Or did you just want to go for the snark

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX stock drops to a new low and loses $1 trillion in value in a month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? That is, if i were to own a public company, the only way i would ever allow anyone else to own a part of it. It is my company, i don’t want fucking shareholders pressure me for more profits and shortsighted decisions. If the vultures want a share of the profits they get just that, not a voice at the table.

  Definitely good points you are making, but his art has also variously been described as soulless or things to that effect, because he can perfectly play a musical piece or make an almost photorealistic painting, but struggles to go beyond surface concepts (not to mention when he is asked to sculpt music).

  Though ultimately i would agree that data is not the best example, because as you said he sometimes gets a taste of what he is lacking, and also, because he has an actual consciousness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Computers can't do everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great and succinct summary of the core issue of “ai”. Without consciousness there can never be anything that makes art art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We can't keep tying healthcare to employment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my opinion this is applicable to virtually any political discourse on lemmy though. Overwhelmingly progressive, left leaning, politically informed.

  I myself am often annoyed with the literal echo chamber effect of people dropping facts and entire paragraphs in the comments like there is an audience to be convinced, when in fact everyone already knows and has read and heard the argument dozens of times.

  At the same time i don’t want to engage with right wingers either, so political monoculture it is.

  That is also a gesture of domination for them, as far as i know. They werent necessarily horny, just trying to put the other in their place

  Poor eogunn, that is one cruel fate for him

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon ruins christmas⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This had me thinking of why the english language uses cocoa. Obviously it is cacao, most other languages use the real name as well. One of those “too hard to pronounce” situations?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, i kinda miss it. Of course its carefree living, but it also is a symptom of our individual detachment from society at large. We don’t relate to the people around us, we handpick those connections digitally for the most part, where shit is just as shallow as it supposedly was in reality before that.

  Sure, you dont care what you look like in the street. But if you have mainstream social media as well i would bet you have made an effort for your profiles that other people can see. Good looking pics, possibly edited too, relatable posts and personal information.

  We just shifted most of our presentation online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This guy managed the movie theater I worked at in high school.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My personal theory is that it is a symptom of societal decay. People would dress nicely and look good when going out, so others would see and be impressed or attracted.

  Now i have literally not worn anything else but different sweatpants for the last year or so, because i could not care less what other random passerbys perceive me as, since i am decidedly not interested in them either.

  Nobody cares about real life impressions any more because the people that matter to them are in their phone. Friends and family are not necessarily in the same location as you, and romantic options are for the most part also in your phone now. Why brother looking good when potential partners are expected to judge you by your social media presence anyway and i’m just here for groceries.

  I mean, yeah of course, but preparing camping supplies and going for groceries seems not quite the same thing.

  As a European, being longer than maybe a weekend cut off from external help (or the general concept of a natural disaster as a possible occurence) is not really a thing. Worst that happens is some flooding near rivers and the coast on rare occasions.

  Dubious water quality is also not a problem people have to deal with on a frequent basis, at least in germany. You can give your landlord major shit if you don’t have access to proper, clean water. (If you own your place it is your problem of course)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of civilization costs $5⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We use bottles… But yes, generally you can just drink your tap water.

  Americans buy water in plastic jugs??

  Vertical feels more right to me, because elevator go up and numbers too

  I would be rather surprised to find an oven going to 400*C though, thats quite hot lol

  I’d say ovens here in EU usually go to 200-250 degrees.

  I used to like him a lot up until he started uncle tomming for the current american administration. Just full sellout, when he could easily live off the royalties of his music for the rest of his life without debasing himself.

  Ironically it is generally the anglosphere who sucks at their grammar. Since native speakers mostly learn it by speaking and listening they have a harder time with those they’re, there, their situations, while everyone else learns it as a second language, primarily through reading and writing. The latter is obviously better suited for good grammar.

  Looks kinda neat, but also has big LOOK AT ME vibes. Not to mention the issues the other commenter mentioned regarding wear and hygiene.

  I could see it being useful for larger devices a user has to interact with constantly to free up and reduce strain on the hand though.

  Yes it’s a dog. But the dog can either be considered a legal person or not, and depending on that the dog needs a permit or a human to safekeep the weapon.
