Technology@lemmy.world•Is AI really a simulation of God’s mind? What do you think?English
18·7 days agoLmao buddy you turned marketing buzz words into ontological argument come the fuck on
You might as well say Mr Clean is clearly a diety of some sort because of his undying commitment to purity

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the best way to eat spinach?
12·22 days agoThis is really the right answer. Saag and Palak are the way forward, mix in mustard greens or collards too.
I also wilt it in a wok with garlic and use it as the core component of dumpling or bun filling, combined with tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, onions or whatever else you want.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How Do You Feel About Professional Sports in 2025?
5·26 days agoI’ve tried to get into watching sports a number of times before. I do enjoy the athleticism and strategy needed to play and win, but I think you picked out the bug bears I also had fairly well.
I’ve found playing sports much more rewarding than watching them.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who stick the apple logo on their car: Why?
682·1 month agoThis feels more like Facebook Karen paranoia than an actual flag for thieves, which I think are less and less common these days anyway.
I had hoped that was obvious…
My opinions reflect yours in your comment. The internet allows us to learn about and connect with people we may not see around us in our neighborhoods and I think that in of itself is instrumental in breaking down bigotry.
I think this would work because people weren’t bigoted until the internet came about

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your favorite Complete works movie series?
2·1 month agoStephen Chow’s action comedy movies. Phenomenal stuff. Some of the earlier films are steeped in Chinese folk lore in a way that doesn’t really work for me since I didn’t grow up hearing that, but the rest of em are just stellar, barring a few jokes that haven’t aged well.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I am getting offended on this kind of messages, am I overreacting?
1·1 month agoThat sounds better. My friend is working in their field, but the positions are set up knowing that they’ll mostly be applied for by PhD students with masters degrees during their coursework, so they know they can pay like crap and they’ll take it anyway. All my understanding of these systems come from the US way, so it’s nice to know it’s better elsewhere.

4·1 month agoI’m not sure, though I don’t think I’d use the word greed or entitlement there. That said, I think people who aren’t working through their doctorate often don’t appreciate just how lucky they are to avoid such a burden. A friend of mine was kvetching about a fellow in their cohort complaining about how the dissertation scheduling was interfering with their European vacation holiday while my friend is trying to pick up as many shifts as they can at two part time jobs that wildly underpay them for their education level. My friend never has a consistent schedule and never seems to have more than maybe ten hours of free time a week outside of sleeping. That person is entitled and clueless.
That all said, I don’t think you need to take the words of anyone on social media or an internet forum all that seriously or personally.
Personally? The academic system seems utterly fucked up and abusive. In a way that favors education for the few that can mitigate the pains of capitalism already.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I am getting offended on this kind of messages, am I overreacting?
161·1 month agoThere’s two kinds of people I’ve met pursuing doctorates.
Those who are independently wealthy and don’t need to work while pursuing it and those who aren’t and do.
Both seem incredibly stressed and depressed almost consistently. Though the latter seem to be, understandably, bitter at the lamentations of the former.

843·1 month agoFor shame for you to say that Star Trek has run on too long.
We need messages about cooperating to create a classless, moneyless society of benevolent people now more than ever.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How did Gen X/Millennials failed at tackling the political issues they criticised in the 90's
301·1 month agoGen X isn’t as radical on the whole as one might think (of course there’s some incredibly rad exceptions) and, well, boomers haven’t died off yet. They still hold most of the wealth ergo most of the power in America. It’s a geriocracy and it ain’t the 50+ year old Millenials running the show.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a block some user/community/instance on Lemmy, do we become invisible/incommunicable to each other, or we just won't see each others posts on the feed?

20·2 months agoI’m pretty sure blocking goes one way. You can’t see their posts but they can see and reply to yours.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•"Pretend" there are no required qualifications or legal and ethical restrictions to becoming the president of the US, who would you like to see in office?
40·2 months agoSomeone who has actually had an American experience. Someone who’s been homeless, who’s worked more than one job just to barely make rent. Someone who’s viewed home ownership as a pipe dream. Someone who’s waited tables. Someone that’s done drugs just for an escape. Someone who’s lost friends and family to those same drugs. Someone who’s had a total stranger express hate for them just for being outside the in-power group.
No more of these disconnected rich pricks who don’t really know how the average person lives.
What a FASCINATING concept!
