They’re also wasteful pollution machines when they’re run, and for no practical purpose. They’re just toys to these people.

Reddit’s API fuckery. That’s it, that’s the whole reason. Fuck spez.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?52·7 months agoHere in Illinois is Woodstock, at ~25,600 (2020 per Wikipedia). It was the town where Groundhog Day was filmed. There’s even some small road signs here and there mentioning it for the rare tourist who comes to see it. Smallest place in the state I can think of, though there’s smaller towns that have been used for movies.
Some upcoming off-brand Hallmark x-mas movie will feature local tourist trap town Long Grove IL, pop ~ 8,300 (2020 per Wikipedia). The director grew up near there so knew about it and thought it’d be perfect for his movie.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.ml•Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die."502·7 months agoAh yes. Definitely a hallucination. Nothing sinister going on here, nope.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you honestly see yourself ever retiring and how?5·7 months agoSure. I mean death still comes one to a customer and I’m no different.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I'm from the Y'all zone. Is it offensive to call trans people y'all?8·7 months agoY’all = you all, which is gender neutral.
Also that map is missing the Chicagoland y’all exclave.
If I want to play a factory game where you need to build defenses I’d go play Factorio and maybe stab myself in the throat a little because that’s about how fun having to deal with enemies in a factory game is.
Apparently asking what people are going to do to relax after voting must be taboo, because my post got deleted without me being told why.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?11·7 months agoIt’s not just “hitting” when it’s done with explosives and bullets, and the ones doing the killing aren’t children. They’re all bad and all need to be stopped from abusing and slaughtering noncombatants. If you think that’s a hot take, hey congrats, you’ve discovered the thinking that perpetuates the violence.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who are the good guys in the Israel/Palestine conflict?24·7 months agoIt’s really easy. Everybody killing other people? Committing rape and violence? Those are the bad guys. Both sides. The good guys are the innocent victims, the women and children, the ordinary people who have nothing to do with it. Both militaries are equally at fault for being monsters.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What episode of any soap opera has resonated with you the most?1·7 months agoThey’re all pretty boring.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether?7·7 months agoBoth. Lose cables are annoying.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which mythical deity / being would be the most enjoyable to snack upon?8·7 months agoI would most prefer the Tyrant (the judeo-muslim-Christian God) because nothing tastes better than vindictive spite.
Lemmings. A creature with a (erroneous but nevertheless extant) reputation for idiotically following each other off a cliff to die.
What do you mean “secretly?” Fuck that.
Random chance but also the anthropic principle.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?1820·8 months agoBecause they’re stupid enough to think a Trump presidency will be better for their cause somehow. Or they’re delusional enough to think that a 3rd party candidate will be anything but a spoiler, like they were in 2016. Seriously, protest votes after the DNC forced out Bernie were likely what led to Trump getting in. So while it’s the DNC and Hillary’s fault, the feet on the ground were the idiots.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If there were only three laws, which should they be?4·8 months agoAlways ask about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.
Etterra@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If there were only three laws, which should they be?68·8 months ago- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Oh fuck no. For my entire life I’ve resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it’s impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.
