in fact, speaking of a ball rolling down a hill, i have a fantastic problem for these AI bros to work on. see, there’s a big hill and there’s a big rock that’s at the bottom of that hill which id really prefer to be at the top instead. you think they’ll volunteer?

Someone will shit their pants

Well that’s just cause lemmy.world is like straight up fash

It’s ok though friend we still love you, read theory though

If there’s any way you can take paypal DM me the info and I got you

It just comes down to the fact that reading is active and listening is passive. If you’re reading a book, the book proceeds at precisely the pace of your understanding. If you have to read a sentence five times to understand it, then you do, and nothing provides any pressure on you because you’re the one in control. If you’re listening to an audiobook and you don’t understand a sentence or lose focus or whatever, it just keeps on plowing ahead. And while it is possible to rewind and listen again, it just can’t possibly deliver information as effectively as reading.

they also do for everyone else, that’s why people who don’t like reading but think that it’s a prestigious activity like them. they can not-listen to an entire book and then be like “oh yeah i read that one”

I just looked up the elephant vs mouse segment. The way the elephants reacted, I kinda feel like they’re being cautious because they recognize a harmless lil animal and don’t want to step on it. Like they behave pretty much exactly how I do when I see a little spider or frog or cricket or something. like “whoa there buddy, you dont wanna be under my feet”

Well, books 1 and 2 were very different and didn’t really contain anything that could be considered remotely similar twists IMO. But there are a ton of prequels and sequels and stuff made after the original trilogy that I’m probably not gonna read and that as far as I know Asimov kinda didn’t intend to write, so it sounds entirely likely that some of those were phoned in lol

I’ve been reading through Asimov’s Foundation series. I found the first book quite dull and the premise kind of difficult to buy, and a little too ‘great man of history’-y. The second was much better though, and actually featured a female character. How progressive!

I remember reading The Caves of Steel a long while back and I liked it a lot, so I was overall slightly disappointed here. But if the trend in quality continues in this way then the third book ought to be pretty good.

some guy got big mad over some small business owner drama shit and (very calmly and rationally of course) turned his bulldozer into a shitty tank with a bunch of concrete armor, sealed himself inside it, and then went and smashed up some buildings before getting stuck

hey, nothing inherently wrong with being security. retail security sucks ass though since it’s mostly looking for petty theft and then snitching. a lot of security is almost literally “i sit here and do nothing and then you pay me” which is kinda a sweet deal

and what part of that required an AI?

No, but it might be good.

Two of their admins were in this thread defending the guy, it was only when Dessalines showed up that he got banned.

I’d just like to add as a top-level comment here how much disgusting shit this guy’s said previously. He’s been a missing stair for at least around a year just going by the modlog. With such hits as:

Outright antifeminism

Feminists conveniently favouring patriarchal benefits and hating men altogether.

This is why it is dangerous to support feminism, since it no longer is about equality. It is a gender supremacist movement, just like redpill movement.

and disgusting brazen misogyny

I have observed quite a few women in my life, no matter the age or generation. Each one of them has been hysterical, gossiping shit behind backs, some even cocbloc’d me and my friends, will go onto shamelessly make 🤏 signs about men while gossiping during their girl talks, and being really just dramatic for arbitrary reasons. Thankfully I have not met many Karens, because they are way worse and are basically the same as reactionary rightwing “anti-trans” men – a nuisance and net negative to society. One feminist in college was a horrible creature, and when I was working on self improving myself back then, she told me that my self improving does not matter to anyone. These same “feminists” will talk about positive talk with selective women, but trash all men and even some women they do not “vibe” with. Men on the other hand are calm and avoid drama until there is a need or it becomes impossible, and are usually only chimps when it comes to the gym and when chasing women. Even then, outside of the really extreme incels and Tateists, most men will not talk about trashing women. Men even aid the efforts for equality with women, but women never advocate for men’s rights.

Women are known to have hysterical, chaotic traits and are gossipers (in reality and not just media) and most jealous women usually cocbloc their girl friends. It has happened to me. Women are far more biologically wired for emotional needs, whereas men are wired for physical strength traits.

Just a couple of choice quotes from the modlogs of hexbear and lemmy.ml. It shouldn’t be surprising to any of the lemmy.ml admins that this fucker is also a pedo. Why was he allowed to stick around this long?
