It was a good thread here too: https://lemmy.world/post/43447694
I guess the nature of the fediverse means that some post duplication is necessary for exposure coverage, lol, so who am I to accuse a repost of not suitably linking the source.
Depends on your magical mythos, I was thinking more Earthsea than D&D
I’d disagree with that argument and draw an analogy with the short reactive pathways triggered by e.g. that thing where you tap a knee with a hammer and it jerks; I don’t think the reaction loop there counts as a sense, and only when you add in the CNS and perception of it does it even connect to one. But it’s hardly a cut’n’dried argument and I’m sure there’s a lot left to plausibly disagree on here
I’m pretty sure I understood one whole sentence of 1100 but other than that 1200 is where I tap out.
It was a pretty funny comment you made on the article, but like obvs the wrong place to post it lol
Anyone can get a gun, not everyone can become a wizard. I think the analogy goes a different way.
What’s a tree’s brain in this analogy?
We must imagine Sisyphus as happy

https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/ this article makes a sadly excellent point in response to you here. Fair warning: it’s long. But even if you dip out early I assume you’ll get the point being made
If I had a mouse for every time I’d seen Pushing Daisies mentioned on Lemmy, I’d probably have like hundreds of mice, because I’ve seen it mentioned twice and those things breed. It was absolutely excellent though and I was so gutted it never got another series. Maybe it was hit by a writers strike? Can’t remember how long ago it came out now.
Ok fair, sorry for being snappy, I think fusion is cool and probably pretty close these days and get a bit defensive when I feel I’m misrepresented.
Wow, that’s not my attitude at all, I said ‘not there yet’, I’m sorry you can’t read bro
Fusion power ain’t there yet though, bad example?
Guess you could do that, seems like a pain though
Just pronounce it Gee-imp and it’s fiiiine
The crimson financial assurance I think it was? Probably my fave python bit
Is that Jen? It looks a lot like her but I suck at facial recognition
