For someone raised in a city, all bears are strange. Whereas, a man has to have some visible deviation from normal behaviour like a red armband or an anime porn hoodie in order to be strange.
After 6 hours of being with other teenagers my age, the last thing I wanted was forced social interaction just as I was getting ready to unwind. For the first half of high school, I was at the train station reading a book. The second half, I had the good sense to start using a phone.
Humanity has never built anything that has intentionally lasted 10,000 years
You don't know what those cave people were thinking when they drew those pictures.
Sex workers are real workers, but princesses are sex bourgeoisie.
Yeah, we don't have laundromats in my country except for student housing and similar facilities. Laundry machines are ubiquitous in houses and apartments, even the small crappy ones.
I think they mean weird, not wired
Proud luddite here. The original luddites destroyed machinery owned by capitalists which threatened their jobs. The choice was either destroy the machines, or stand by and become unable to feed your family while a rich man gets richer.
I have no opposition to technology which is used for good, and whose control is placed in the hands of the workers. Your self-hosted AIs are fine, although I do ask that you only use energy intensive processes if you have solar panels. After all, this planet is the only one we've got. At our current rate of pollution, soon the world will only be inhabitable to AI.
But I downvote anything promoting corporate AI designed to replace people's jobs. I am all for replacing human jobs, if the humans get to relax and live comfortable lives afterward. But I am against replacing jobs if we choose to have a society where you need a job to live. That's not nature, it's a choice we make as a society. The minute you automate someone's job, you do necessarily admit that society doesn't need that person's work to get by. The only reason they shouldn't get to put their feet up and take it easy is political. And politically, we have decided instead what happens is they die. That's unacceptable, and until it changes, we can't afford to have job replacing machines.
Hey, we still laugh at scientists who propose good ideas
Whereas in a communist economy where people didn't have to struggle to survive, game developers could focus on improving their craft and telling whatever the funnest story they can think of is. We can already see this on a small scale with the difference between indie passion projects like Hades, and AAAA cash grabs like suicide squad. Imagine if everyone could afford to chase their passion instead of money.
I think the anime fans are just traumatized by the overwhelming stench of axe body spray from the high school gym changing room, and are now scared of deodorant
