It's depressing how many top level comments or replies are about how people like that there is a technical barrier gatekeeping lemmy. Are yall actually leftists or do you just pretend to be while worshipping your own version of social hierarchy in which us nerds are on top?

Yikes. This makes me think of people who have hurt me

Oh no. No no no no no. I stopped having nightmares about this little fucker years ago. You can't make me go back!!

The famed Wanksy approach?

So you're saying Hannibal didn't finish the job because he had no (cross)bars?

Legit ants are one of the coolest species on earth. One of the very few species on earth to have ever developed agriculture, eusocial, specialized mutations to perform different roles in colonies, and so on. This post is based and antpilled

Hey, I still think that's a significant difference when compared to "male", the expected value of my gender. Or at least my new gender will be able to determine whether or not it's significant.

Tfw you have to down vote a post you support x.x hopefully it stabilizes lol

Wait fuck that makes it sound awesome. I wanna be a Chi^2 male

Rupert Murdoch did come from Australia after all. Makes sense that you'd have exactly the same propaganda machine as we have in the US

What a cool use for an llm! I've been playing for about 10 minutes and I love it. I did get "Peter Scrunch" to admit to me that "as a large language model I can only access the information provided to me" when I pushed it on questions about Scrunch's past

I know theatre existed, which is why I specifically qualified it as widely available/distributable. You cant just ignore half of the words I used when rebutting my argument then act like you addressed my point. The "dominance" of film and TV compared to other internet shareable media does not remotely compare to the dominance of print a few centuries ago; nothing else from the era even fits the modern definition of media. Print was the dominant form of media in the 17th century in the same way that your eyeballs are your dominant means of gathering visual information; there is literally no competition to be dominant of.

I think you misunderstood my point about financial ghouls; I'm not saying that I think early printed media was free of their influence, I'm saying that today I can easily access a huge body of media that exists without their focus grouping and "safe bets only" style of publishing monotony. This is significantly less true if I limit my forms of fiction intake to films and tv.

I think i should back up a bit; i don't really care that you're wrong about the relative influence of different forms of media in different time periods. I'm upset that your first comment extends an elitist epithet about a person not reading indicating the lack of a rich inner life. Acting like people don't know fiction if they don't consume it the same way the majority does is shitty and ableist, and that's the message presented by your top level comment. So I guess like, if my interpretation of your first post is correct I think you suck and I'm no longer interested in speaking with you, and if not feel free to correct me and collect the apology I'll owe you for getting vitriolic on the internet over a misunderstanding.
