Controversial take: advancing science is better than spending weeks optimising how to play video games for children.
"Observations by Pliny the Elder"... I love the fact that someone is still reading ancient ass proto-science, but it really really has to be taken with a grain of salt.
But the articles literally don't exist. It's 2024, do we still have to explain that chatbots can generate nonexistent "scientific" references?
I learned about furries' existence on 4chan many years ago, and I definitely don't think that site was healthy at any point in time.
This reminds me of the anti-wind-energy arguments about the turbines killing many birds...
there's only seven stories in the world
There isn't. That's a completely nonsensical statement, no serious scholar of litearture/film/etc. would claim something of the sort. While there have been attempts to analyse the "basic" stories and narrative structures (Propp's model of fairy tales, Greimas' actantial model, Campbell's well-known hero's journey), they're all far from universally applicable or satisfying.
By the time you finished making this snarky meme, you could've set up a program to OCR a book yourself.
Look at the hands in the upper corners, looks pretty AI-ish.
Downvoting makes comments less visible. So downvoting is the equivalent of taping someone’s mouth shut because you don’t agree with them. Is that really what you are trying to do?
This is ridiculous, especially the comparison with physical violence. Upvoting a comment also makes all the other comments less visible, by promoting the comment you've picked, taking up the place where some other comment could've been. Nobody's mouth is taped shut by either upvoting or downvoting, all the comments are still visible, it's just that their order will be determined by the upvotes and downvotes - and removing the latter from the equation won't negate the "discrimination" (comment sorting) created by the former.
I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles
But .ml is literally the "Marxist-Lenininst" instance, why do they automatically expect conflicts with them as well? Some of these people have a persecution complex.
She committed war crimes in Bosnia. He committed war crimes on Kosovo. Can I make it any more obvious?
It's the opposite, AA is pretty reliable whereas Libgen (.is domain) has been offline for over a month, came back online just a few days ago.
