Hyperconsumerism is a plague.

Happiness isn’t in the next console, or a better computer, or having all the music at your fingertips, al the knowledge you could ever want at the click of a button, food from anywhere at any time, commodities and convenience without a second-thought.

Happiness is being safe and healthy, surrounded by people you love in harmony with each other and the environment. Happiness is having the time and the means to pursue your interests, time to relax and take it slow, time to think.

I’m not sure we need saving, frankly. While there is much wrong, I think much of it is of our own making, and we could all pursue happiness instead, and I think there are ways to achieve it.

Minimalism… That’s a bit of a nebulous term. I think it’s easy to see the err of this culture obsessed with having it all and swing the whole other way, rejecting anything that can’t be thoroughly justified. There could be a balance. I’m not sure it’s minimalism that can save us, though yes, it does decrease dependency on much of the system. If you reject the system, as you probably should, then I suppose there’s some merit to that. I’m not sure. Just my thoughts.

I thought this was on hiatus. Nice :D

Is Bob not good at math? A shame, indeed.

There’s… There’s no way this is true, right? This is fake news? Please tell me this is fake news.

Stop shattering my dreams!!!

Turns out it is set-up, actually.

Thanks!

But, wait… The guy in the OG Bro Explaining me is not Adam Sandler?!

I wonder about the source of this image. She looks horribly uncomfortable…

;u;; That’s just lovely man!!!

Well, surely it’s not sarcasm, right? If it is sarcasm, then the AI really can use sarcasm, so being sarcastic about that would be silly?

lol

It’s how it goes pretty much every time someone claims any LLM is sentient.

Haven’t even read the post, but I assume it’s this:

For sure dude! Go for it yooo

XD The downvotes are hilarious.

Depends on the severity of the emergencies.

Jerking ass

Ah, I see! Yes, from my cursory look I figured it wasn’t decentralised, but it’s not even open-source and the trackers… I don’t know much about trackers at all, not sure how harmless those might be or if they’re for anonymised analytics, for example. Frankly, the simple fact it has ads (and I assume there’s no easy way to remove them like with ReVanced for YT) is a deal-breaker. Everything else is just piss on the shit sandwich.

Thanks for the update!

Ah well, I suppose that’s a different issue then!

Ah alright then.
