Caved in to an autocrat.

I like it, and tbh I reviewed the episodes on IMDB a bit higher than I would've, just because it was review bombed.

It's honestly pretty decent marvel show. It's not cinema, no, it's marvel. But I like marvel, and I'm really pro having a show for black girls. Sounds woke? I mean it to.

Some of the shit might feel ridiculous and over the top, but then if you were a young black woman, you'd probably feel that for most of the strong cishet male lead movies.

I've liked the subplot as well. It's kinda clear where it's going (I'm only on ep 4, starting 5), but they're still keeping someone for the nerdier fans to speculate on.

I'm enjoying it so far. Better than the Librarians which I've been binging as a setup to watch the new one.

Its clearly not better than doctors at diagnosing things. But if the system providing medical aid are worse than AI help, then the large scale impression would be that AI is better, even when it isn't better than a well-trained doctor giving proper attendance to a patient.

Well, yes, that's my point, sort of. I'm pointing out that it's never really black and white in that way, so his proposal of opposites isn't really that good.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thanks. That's some tasty info, gonna need this when forging my own forks in the post-apocalyptic nightmare hellscape we're going to enter in the next few decades.

Decades obviously I won't have even gave a downloaded Wikipedia, I'll just go by drunk memories. And thus this will be there somewhere.

Words have meanings. What is it you think I'm "soapboxing" here? By that logic, you could just dismiss literally anything online. "You just want a soapbox, so I'm not gonna answer your EXTREMELY VALID QUESTIONS THAT YOU GAVE AS AN ANSWER TO A POST ON A FORUM.

Alright, "buddy", be a hypocrite. I do care for the world, because hypocrites make the world suffer, but I don't care about you personally. I just care that your personal ego and fears are in the way of a good world we could have.

You're defending a view... without being able to defend it in any way or without answering any of the questions put to you. The topic of this thread is "is being Christian compatible with being trans", but you refuse to talk about it.

No, I never said I was in a debate. Did I?

argumentum

You use words you don't understand? (That's a rhetorical question, I can see you do.)

"Dogma", "sacrament"? It's all Greek to me...

Name one “Christian value” which you can and should take from Christianity. And that is specific to it. Not like “Christianity teaches us that you shouldn’t kill everyone you see on sight” like the golden rule I mentioned earlier.

No.

A Christian value.

Go ahead.

I’ll wait.

No, you just keep defending this bullshit and then you wonder why we have to go through wars and shit.

Stand up and call monotheism the cancer it is. There’s nothing inherently good in it. Nothing. But there is a lot of inherently bad things, like dogma, and straight up anti-LGBT values.

Alright, sure, "the topic of this thread, which you're defending, is", does that make you feel better, and can you now you start answering, or is just that you're arguing in such bad faith you have zero intention of answering ANYTHING?

"Soapbox".

Again, I'm not an atheist, buddy. I've simply asked very simple questions, like "please elaborate on what you think 'Christian values' means" which you keep avoiding, because you can't define it. Because it's all hypocrisy and not a genuinely held belief. Which just proves what utter bullshit it is.

Monotheism is cancer, yet you keep defending it.

edit oh and why would I give two fucks about who you block?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Deflecting again? Wow. So surprised. You can't answer anything or define anything.

Yet you imagine you're in a "debate"? Thanks for the laughs.

What I've been telling you is that you're wrong.

Name one "Christian value" which you can and should take from Christianity. And that is specific to it. Not like "Christianity teaches us that you shouldn't kill everyone you see on sight" like the golden rule I mentioned earlier.

No.

A Christian value.

Go ahead.

a failure of power, it's a failure of language.

And what is scripture made out of again? God .. or language?

You're really gonna make me go through all the tedious examples of how illogical monotheism is? No thanks.

Yes I have read the Bible

The whole Bible, not just bits which you found through googling it? The actual, whole book, from cover to cover?

I was Baptised in my early 20s

You read the whole Bible before deciding everything in it is true and thats definitely possible, despite there being sentences like "God can create triangles with angles of ≠ 3?"

Alright, well, you do you m8.

Rapes happen in hospitals and schools - does that mean proponents of healthcare and education are defending

If you show me a healthcare system that has as much systemic rape in it that Catholicism does, I'll show you a healthcare system which I criticise and advocate to reform.

If you had a criminal court case, and you only had one witness, it would be less reliable than one with two witnesses.

I'm sorry but I'm not smoking crack and can't keep up with you.

If you had one witness with red paint on their face, saying "a guy threw red paint on my face", and then you went on to lool for the guy mentioned, and found him, with an empty bucket of red paint and red paint all over his hands, it would be more believable than having a two guys — one with blue paint on him and one with yellow paint on him — saying "a guy threw red paint on us", especially when you then don't find any red paint anywhere, and even the local stores say they don't even recall ever seeing any.

I don't care for your personal history, it had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, which is the topic of the thread.

Monotheism is bad and religious people, monotheists especially, are usually dragged into progressive values despite their resistance to them.

It's beyond insane how much of the world you're having to ignore just to keep identifying as a Christian despite not believing in single tenet of the religion.

So I remind you of the argument I said before; it genuinely wouldn't make any rhetorical difference what religion you changed into this conversation for Christianity. You ask whether Christianity is compatible with being trans, but then you refuse to say what notion of being Christian is.

So I'm to just take it that you just like to think your Christian, despite deriving all your personal moral from the world, like people do?

You can't name what these "Christian values" are that you're asking about. Yet you insist that you have them.

Wtf?

 

That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?

It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?

But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.

I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.

I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.

Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”

Took me a fucking while

 

That's kinda it.

Four years of photos, videos, notes and thoughts, recordings of my now passed dad and grandma, etc.

Last photos of my father, actually. Fuck.

Probably accidentally dropped it in the bin when I used it as a webcam one time when I was as drunk as a skunk. Then had no use for it between that and taking the thrash out. And that was a few weeks ago, so even dumpster diving wouldn't help now.

Hell, that guy looking for his bitcoin has waster years and millions.

I guess I can manage with photos other people have, I guess. I don't really have people to look at the photos with, so guess it shouldn't matter.

I'd be grateful if you could make me care less about my massive — but boring — fuckup.

Edit I'm trying to list things I probably won't miss. My notes are mostly incoherent brain farts I have over and over. And recordings of officials won't matter as no-one cares and they're too late for justice. Photos and videos, really. But I have no-one to browse them with so whatever.

I'll definitely pay more attention to backing up

Core of... THC?

Anyway, seemed magical enough. Now it's kind of lost it's magic though. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Shran uses a set from a Finnish designer, called "Ultima Thule". It's also featured as a world on the show, iirc. (I'm midway through rewatch, but Ultima Thule is definitely a world in the ST universe.)

The name come from ancient times, meaning roughly "Ultimate North", and referring to various places that no-one can really agree on.

Anyways, the other glass is also Finnish, and also used in ST: Enterprise. Whenever Archer has dinner in his quarters or they're having cake at Malcolm's bday, therr these glasses are: https://star-trek.design/glassware/tapio-goblets-by-tapio-wirkkala-for-iittala

(I wonder if this is related to my alcoholism flaring up anytime the episodes with the glasses come up.)

 

I made a joke about how Russia was a bit behind in video game tech in the 90's and got banned, lol.

 

I'm listening to Stromae, Pomme - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (from Arcane Season 2) Lyrics w/ translation.

And one line is "Mais comme dit le diction: Plutôt qu'être seul mieux vaut être mal accompagne."

French (sorry for butchering some of the letters, I've a Nordic layout), roughly for "But as the saying goes: Better than alone, is to be in bad company."

Reading that, I remembered a Spanish line from last weeks episode of "The Day of the Jackal": "Mejor solo que mal acompañado."

"It's better to be alone than in bad company."

A difference in views between the French and the Spanish, eh? Anyone here who's got some view on it? I'd be interested to hear a view from someone who intimately understands both cultures.

 

Also, from the lyrics: "Team by team, reporters baffled trump"
