smart people can 100% be stupid too

To expand on that, people can be smart in one aspect and really fucking dumb in others. Intelligence is a spectrum, it’s not binary like you’re either smart or dumb. Plenty of people who understand quantum level physics etc. who are socially and emotionally at the level of children and vice versa and so on.

Nokia N95 and I’d probably still be using it if I didn’t decide it was a great idea to go swimming with my clothes on.

Have a snickers, buddy.

No judgement, ceramics is for everybody!

Honestly a latex body suit seems easier to clean too, though I have no experience with that. Just seems you could rinse yourself with a hose after.

Not really commenting on whether Altman got paid enough or not, but “well he’s not fucking homeless” isn’t really a sensible argument in any conversation about compensation.

And you think if nudity wasn’t a taboo people wouldn’t be self conscious about anything (ie. their bodies)? Especially considering the acoustics in most showers (hint:even the people who normally can’t hear you talk in your home can hear you sing in the shower). Especially considering people are self conscious as hell about their bodies even with clothes on?

A car is a much more private and safe space than a shower.

Not being a dick, just curious what your train of thought here is.

I love that the brain still, relies on real-life data on the world It creates

Yeah me too, totally, you fucking psycho. That’s the best part of nightmares…

Any you’d recommend? You just opened a big Pandora’s box for me.

Also:

Quieter than Silence are sublime, they have several shows on Youtube and they’re all different with different guest musicians and they’re all amazing.

and

Özgür Baba - Dertli Dolap, Çay Taşıand this full show: at the Franciscan Church.

Ooh I really like this one and the Le Lab Virgin Radio one, especially Opposite Ways. So much better than the album versions.

Off the top of my head: Parliament Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection, Live In Houston 1976.

That’s my go to. An amazing show and never fails to get me in a good mood or cheer me up. Parliament Funkadelic is magic.

You can talk circles around justifying this idiocy, it’s not going to make this clout chasing vandalism stunt any more clever. If justifying some kind of funding is what you want to talk about you’re free to do so, funding has never been something that stops art from existing, but that discussion is absolutely irrelevant to this thing. Besides, “the arts are one of the first things to go” isn’t talking about this one piece, it’s very general and you know it.

Yeah, because art clearly hasn’t existed when there’s strife, crises or people are poor or suffering :D

I mean that’s my point. I’d trust Reddit more than some completely random dude to handle my data you know? Why would I? At least with a centralized datamining piece of shit I know a part of what the data is used for, blindly sharing whatever with some rando who just comes up to you like “hey you want some privacy” is just fucking weird. Some random dude could be any weird fucked up person you know? Maybe I’m over/underthinking this, but sometimes all of this just seems weird.

Thanks for the thorough reply. I’m just wondering, in general, about privacy and shit. Like it’s a big talking point here, how lemmy is so much safer and privacy focused, but then there are these huge oversights regarding some things. Sure it’s great my shit isn’t being monetized for bullshit reasons and ends and ads, but, if all this kind of decentralized thing doesn’t come without it’s own problems. It’s fairly new territory for most people and people easily lull into a comfort you know?

I’m paranoid rambling, but thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the dumb question, I’m thick in the head - since federated content is, well federated, does this mean potentially anyone who makes an instance can see practically everything?

Grow up

There are no parallels you can seriously draw from this shit to the suffragette movement.

Great job comprehending what you’re reading.

It’s a million times more depressing that the majority of environmentalist-minded people apparently see these publicity stunts as positive.

Exactly, I don’t understand how this is such a controversial take apparently.
