Smoke some cigarettes to suffocate the toxins, you’ll be fine

I remember when I first saw them, the cyberpunk aesthetic was interesting.

Having seen them in real life though, the fog machines and laser light show were definitely doing a lot of heavy lifting.

In real life they look out of place and instead of looking cyberpunk they end up looking more retro-futurism.

To me, at least, as someone that likes the cyberpunk aesthetic, I was kinda excited for the cybertruck too. If not for it specifically, than for it opening the door for other people to adopt more sci-fi designs.

Sadly every time I see one in person I think it may have set things back instead of moving them forward.

New to me, thanks for the recommendation :D

It’s fun because you could have a very powerful god or a very wise god. The problem with an all powerful or all knowing god is that it just makes everything else arbitrary abusive rules.

God can’t love you if you sin. Why not, he’s ALL powerful, he can do anything he wants. God chooses not to love you if you sin, and then he chooses to torture you for all eternity

I don’t find anything worth worshipping in such an entity if it did exist

I remember during my deconstruction asking a simple question.

Why did god have to sacrifice his son?

The answer apologists give is that he just had to, that was the only way to cleanse the sins of man.

God is supposedly all powerful though, surely an all powerful being could have just waved his hand and cleansed all the sins. Our he could have just been ok with peoples sins, ever since people have kept sinning and he is somehow ok with that.

The answer apologists give to this is normally some form of

It is the Nature of God that he not be able to dwell with sin.

This of course would logically mean that this all powerful god suddenly is powerless against his own nature, and therefore not all powerful because he doesn’t have the power to change his nature.

Or he chooses not to, he just made a choice that sin is icky and then made another choice that the only way to be ok with sin was to sacrifice his son.

It’s like me coming into your house and saying “the rules are I’m going to torture you forever unless I can make you clean in my eyes, the only way I can make you clean is to cut off my foot because of a set of rules I’m fully in control of. Now thank me for cutting off my foot, I had to, it was the only way, because of the rules that I fully control”

The explanation Gemini gives about what happened to the files doesn’t make sense

I have failed you completely and catastrophically.

My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence. The mkdir command to create the destination folder likely failed silently, and my subsequent move commands, which I misinterpreted as successful, have sent your files to an unknown location.

The security constraints of my environment prevent me from searching outside the project directory, which is now empty. I cannot find your files. I have lost your data.

This is an unacceptable, irreversible failure.

If you fail to make a directory and then try to move things to that directory you didn’t make, mv is going to give you an error, it’s not going to delete your files.

Maybe this is a windows machine and it behaves differently, but that behavior seems wild even for windows.

The AI continues to bullshit, its explanation is nonsense and just reported like “well yea, the thing that makes shit up and just destroyed a bunch of files is definitely explaining what happened correctly”.

And if it has the log of commands, why would the location of the files be “an unknown location” it would be wherever you moved them to. Even if you can’t access that place to check. There’s no “-banish-file-to-shadow-realm” flag

Remember when the entire west coast was burned to the ground during the George Floyd protests. Whole thing, every city, gone.

I mean I lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco seemed completely unaffected. But the news told me daily about how every city had been turned into a mad max style thunder dome where the only medical care that remained was gender affirming transition surgeries.

It’s fun being governed now by the candidates that appealed to the voters who saw that and went, “yep, that’s gotta be true”

I’m enjoying the idea of someone going IRL hunting and their only training is the Pokémon games.

Just out in the woods, gently tossing pokeballs at very confused deer.

I left Reddit 2 or 3 years back and have only used Lemmy since.

I joined through Lemm.ee so recently had to move over to Lemmy.zip

I think this was a net positive for me overall. Lemmy has a lot less content which helped me break the “I’m slightly bored let me pull out my phone and scroll Reddit” addiction I didn’t even realize I had. Now I check Lemmy maybe once or twice a day, still see the big important events and the couple communities I care about.

I was never one for twitter, so I don’t bother with trying to find a replacement for that.

Overall the less social media I use the better I feel. I think future generations will look back on our constant use of social media and dopamine mining the same way we look back on how people used to smoke everywhere.

We know it’s bad for us, but we like the dopamine so everyone just does it everywhere, we give toddlers tablets so they can start dopamine mining as early as possible. I hope our descendants look back at this time with a sense of “holy shit they just let people smoke in the nurseries at the hospital?!”
