Yeah, it would still be a massive improvement if it took 20 years instead of 1000.

To be fair, there has always been crap. Sure, llms automate the process of slop creation, but you always had to rely on curation and often pure luck to find decent books.

Iirc discord is making it deliberately hard to bridge stuff.

• “Come naked and bring beer”
• “Crack Cave”
• “$name, 2. floor, 23, single”

It’s literally just a packet with the ssid and related info in it, shouted into the void. It becomes an issue if you shout so much that other people’s traffic is effectively jammed, otherwise, have fun.

What is your problem with NMS, if I may ask? I’ve not been deeply involved, but from what I saw, it turned from a rushed beta release with poor communication to like 5+ years of free content upgrades more than delivering what they (wrongfully) promised at the beginning, right?

He is the most down to earth normal guy of the bunch, and the only one I think I’d get along with if I ever met him IRL. The others… Didn’t really handled their fame well

Same. Although, I was in school back then, which kind of forces you to talk to people. The best way to make friends is to regularly see people. It is still hard, for me it is still a pretty rigged game of who I “click” with, but without you will never find out.

Actually, I was just thinking I should get off the internet more often.

Firearms are fun. Knives are fun. Martial arts are fun. At least to a decently large number of people. That doesn’t mean that their roles in society don’t suck.

One might say that the danger (to people, to society…) outweighs the benefits of allowing target shooting as a sport. Maybe, I’d still disagree, but that’s an opinion we can argue about. We don’t allow people to build their own nuclear reactors for fun, for example. But saying something isn’t “fun” is ignoring that a lot of people perceive the world differently.

Oh come on. I get what you are trying to point out, but that is like saying you don’t need to know forklift safety rules, as you will never operate a forklift.

It is total BS. Offline vacuum cleaners do mapping and localisation just fine. It is just an excuse to spy on your home.

To be fair, I think it is okay to ask for a one-time fee for something you’ve developed. You want to use this $tech that I made? Sure, pay me 10 ct for every device you put it in.

Mate, you’ve got 130 or so comments, that’s quite a lot for Lemmy. Yeah, some people will misunderstand you, some deliberately, and some are just plain trolls. Welcome to the internet

Eh, drowning is probably the biggest suffering you can create without going for extra effort. Just because it’s quiet doesn’t mean it’s fast, I’d take being beaten to death over being drowned any day.

Besides, as I said, if you are not able to kill something quickly, you are not qualified to kill it. People who do stuff like catch fish and then leave them to suffocate just piss me off. If you don’t have the ability to at the very least bash it over the head, then get someone to do it for you.

Feral cats are kind of native here (Europe). It is the massive amount of well-fed stray domestic cats that is a problem, AFAIK.

From what I have heard, drowning sucks as a death. Just shoot them? Or decapitate? Or use anything else that takes seconds instead of minutes?

To be fair, I have never had to heal with a cat plague, the biggest thing I’ve come near were rodents and fish. No idea how practical it is. But again, if one doesn’t have the means for a humane killing, then don’t be the one killing.

Also, I’m pretty sure those “beartrap” style traps are illegal here, and poison traps are usually designed to allow target only one species (usually, rats, since you can’t get them any other way).

The vast majority of comments seems to understand the OP just fine?

How about all the other comments you got here?

Call me a woke weakling, but I believe even in pest control, you shouldn’t make another being suffer. If you have to kill something for a good reason, the fucking least you can do is make it quick. If you don’t have the gender-neutral balls to do it properly, you shouldn’t do it at all.

Gifts don’t have to be something you like, want, or need

My whole intention with gifts is to make someone else happy. Otherwise, it’s not a gift.

I get where you come from, I think there are great answers here that explain why the two people here are likely upset. But if you gift someone something that you know they won’t like, that sucks.
