1·5 days ago@infinite_ass What about everyone else? Will my friends be happy and secure with it? People I don’t know or care about? Hell, even my enemies?
I highly doubt it.
> This chip was put there by very good, smart people who want only the best for the world.
Which version of the “best for the world” are we talking? Your “best for the world” does not necessarily match my “best for the world”.
It changed my view on how true to their ideas some people are.
@jatone Every video and every model will be overly simplistic when applied to any reality. Every abstraction is a leaky abstraction.
@rocci I want this as a poll format option in the Fediverse.
@AFC1886VCC Technically, the guy is gonna die anyway sometime.
@tilefan That’s weird, it’s not that I’m purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda… lose interest.
I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don’t mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.
@InternetUser2012 I am Russian. Believe me when I say: most of us perfectly know what’s going on.
We’re just scared. That’s it.
@Quintus It can get annoying. It certainly is distracting.
@NathanUp @bjoern_tantau Maddy mailserver rocks
@Shelbyeileen I have a pet theory, that religion is basically a hardware vulnerability exploitation. Vulnerability being “we can’t comprehend death, physically”. Because trying to reconstruct non-existence in our world model causes division by zero, and everything breaks because you can’t divide by zero and have meaningful results. So in order to avoid it, your brain bends its model of reality, starts telling itself fairy tales about the supernatural world, redefines death as “transformation”, and basically bullshits itself into avoiding facing the inevitable.
> Even if we found out complete proof for what actually happens when you die and after death
We have. Your consciousness just shuts down forever. You’re a mortician, you would know. We just can’t grapple with it.
@Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.
As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.
@flubba86 Yeah, it’s actually fucking easier to come in and fix their printer or whatever.
@Daft_ish Facebook’s making money selling *you* on Facebook. You are the raw material.
@Daft_ish If they are the ones who supplied your browser, they don’t have to pay shit.
@Daft_ish Why go through the trouble of asking you when they can ask your browser who will tell them everything instantly and also knows you better than you ever will?
@tamal3 is right.
Fucking hell, people, go touch some grass, go meet real human beings. Not everybody adheres to the moral code you construct in your head, and that is FINE!!
