I mean… yeah, I know, but conversion therapies? In 2025? Might as well apply leeches to cure flu

How the hell is this not banned already?!

I mean… technically, yes, we all do good and bad stuff.

But you can’t say Hitler was a good person just because he was against animal cruelty. I don’t think any person out there is cartoonishly evil to a point they never did anything good - that doesn’t make those evil persons not evil.

As it should. Not quite the right reasons, but hilarious nontheless.

This. Mu father and grandfather in law are mathematitians. I never liked or enjoyed math but they make it ao damn interesting when talking about it. It’s a real shame I never had a teacher with such passion and talent for it.

Fair enough. I was not going for “it’s evolutionary, so let’s just do nothing”. The whole argument herr is thay laziness doesn’t exist, because there is a root cause. Well, this is just semantics really. Being lazy is not wanting to do something. Is there a root cause behind it? Sure. If you go far enough it’s just biology (allegedly).

Does tiredness not exist? There is usually a root cause to you being tired.

I feel like this “lazyness doesn’t exists” is there just because being lazy has negative conotations. I think being lazy is good. Sometimes you do need to wind down and save what energy you have. This ofc shouldn’t be an excuse to not do anything ever. There is something as too much of a good thing and all that.

As I said, not an expert on this topic. But I feel like you are combining two different things.

Doing dishes is persumably something you don’t enjoy and your survival is not dependent on it -> you conserve energy.

Boredom, I think, comes from the brain not having enough stimuli.

I see it as two different things. But you are better of asking someone who knows more.

I’m not an expert, just read it somewhere. But I’d guess it might be because our current lives are miles away from the ones we evolved for and may not get the stimuli we require.

Isn’t lazyness just evolutionary trait? The need to conserve energy?

Eating junk food mostly

Smart. Would’ve been funny otherwise though

Way to out yourself as not human

Your original title didn’t say anything about games though. The Tower of London dungeons don’t come with a soundtrack.

Or maybe you just disabled music in settings and forgot?

I guess it’s about how you see quality. There are many products that are mass produced but if something is handmade, people see value in it to this day.

When or if AI will reach the point you describe… there will be still something special behind a performance done by a living flesh and blood person.

AI may have its place, but I don’t think it should be the be all end all

I imagined it being thick enoug to not bend easily. But I guess if it could, either the portal would somehow prevent it or expire

Well then I fucked up I guess :D don’t remember this detail

Best use would be to get two steel plates or something, of apropriate dimensions for portals and shoot them there. Now I have two portals I can move as I please and where I please

They are getting bolder and don’t feel the need to hide it at all. And why should they? It’s only a “controversial salute” now. Next up, racism and xenophobia rebranding to “controversial views”

There are also countries where it is not - for example where I live last I checked downloading is legally ok, though some would say it is a grey zone moraly. It’s the distributing of a copy without proper licensing deals and stuff that’s illegal.

So downloading of illegal copies using torrents would be illegal in most cases as you would be seeding and thus providing the illegal copy to others.

Direct download is a-okay in the eye of law as long as it is only for your personal use

I’m a layman in terms if AI but I think it can be a useful tool, if used in proper context. I use it when I struggle to find something by regular internet search. The fact you can search in a conversational style and specify as you go on what you need is great.

I feel it is pushed into contexts where it has no place and where it’s usefulness is limited or counterproductive.

Then there is the question of the inproper use of copyrighted material which is terrible
