If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that’s still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn’t surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.

I remember learning about it in school around Thanksgiving because it’s often associated with the holiday. (I’m in the US.)

Neofuturism.

I have been losing interest in Blue Prince. (This is spoiler free.) Many of the late game puzzles are beginning to feel grindy. I need to get specific rooms but it’s random chance if I do, and then when I get them it’s not guaranteed I’ll even know how to solve what’s going on. It’s been very enjoyable up until now but it’s lost some appeal in the end.

I have been playing a little Animal Crossing because my spouse got back into it. I have been playing a little Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Mario + Rabbids because I’ve been using my switch more.

I’m not super into sports so I don’t know what the best specific rule to deal with this would be, but there needs to be more accountability for bad calls from referees.

I’m not going to spend hours downloading all of those and comparing and contrasting how easy I find their UIs. Some people have different hobbies. Imagine that, holy shit!

YOU USED UP ALL THE GLUE ON PURPOSE!

NOT A FINGA!

I was raised Christian and am now atheist. I would have a very difficult time being romantic with anyone who calls themself Christian. I have come to despise all levels of it. I don’t believe in the existence of the super natural. I don’t believe in the Christian creation myth. I don’t believe in the resurrection or any miracles of Jesus. I believe most churches are cults that we give a free pass to be cults because it’s more socially acceptable. I believe religion did great harm to me growing up and I believe it does great harm to many other young people. I could go on, but that’s the gist. If someone was somehow Christian and agreed with me on all of those points there might be a chance but I’d still view it as strange that they didn’t see the whole thing as a scam and renounce their faith.

People from other religions I may have similar problems with because even though religions are different their effects are often similar. Even a staunchly pro LGBT church/religion I would have difficulty meshing with because my problems go so much deeper than that.

An exception would be people who are “spiritual” but not “religious”. While I myself am quite skeptical, I am still open to the idea that there’s more. And even if there’s not, sometimes it’s fun and/or beneficial to pretend that there is. So long as they themselves are similarly open to the ideas that they could be wrong and that others could be right I think I could get along quite well with people like this. The truth is I still have moments I would call religious experiences, but I don’t believe they’re revelations of truth. They’re still interesting and fun to talk about. Like dreams.

Frankly I’m surprised it’s so little. I thought it wouldn’t be possible with Earth’s landmass period with trees alone.

No.

Training an AI model on AI output? Isn’t that like the one big no-no?

Buddy, if I open Photoshop it’s gonna take me hours to learn how to do one thing too, what a horrible example lmao. There’s like so many easy slam dunks you could’ve said too.

most of us are here, because we got permabanned on reddit early this year, or shadowbanned recently.

Doubt. A lot of us are here because of the API changes in July of 2023.

I use Lemmy 99.999% of the time. I asked a plumbing question on Reddit, some radio questions a few months back, and that’s really all I can remember. I don’t browse it. I don’t avoid it if search results go there though. But I don’t seek it out often at all.

Don’t think for a second that I’m approving of Andrew Tate types lol. I’m just saying if there wasn’t incentive then they wouldn’t be able to profit off of it. Maybe we’re using different definitions of incentive. Or maybe you mean to actually make a true working long term fix for men as opposed to just content that monetizes off of it.

It’s also funny when people argue it’s not actually white because color picker says it’s light blue. Firstly, color motherfucking temperature.

It’s because it seems like about half of people’s eyes and brains correct it one way and the other half the other way, leading to extremely heated discussions about “how can you not see it my way.” This isn’t like other optical illusions like that silhouette of a spinning ballerina where you can easily flip it around in your mind. I’ve only ever seen this as white and gold once and it took someone putting it upside down and very slowly zooming out from a very specific area of the dress.

So that’s why people were so torn about it.

Is there even an incentive for solving men’s problems?

Uh, yes? Obviously. If there wasn’t then “manosphere” content would never be monetized.

No one was really asking “what color is the dress”, they were asking what colors are on the photo.

This is not my recollection of this at all. Everyone knows what physical colors are on the screen. If so people who see the image as white and gold wouldn’t have been shocked/angry to learn the dress is actually blue and black.

To me the background looks more like the left.

Yeah, it’s like blue and an ugly desaturated goldenrod. Because it’s sort of yellowish instead of black I think that’s why it tricks people’s brains.
