Am a lil optimist folk that likes computers :3 Banner by David Revoy (Check his stuff!)

Insults mean blocking for me.

We don't think the same, and that's what makes this world interesting. If you say your thinking is superior to all others, i wont allow you to turn this space into a boring place.

    What world would you live in, a world with only anime or only video games?

    Jump

  • Anime is quite tied to video game, so interesting question. I know only few anime coming from visual novels adaptations (clannad), video game references (about 3/4 of isekais i've seen, but except for this genre, it's pretty rare), or just promotional anime for games (pokémon). So without video games, we would still have all of the series focusing on others things, in addition to movies, like some from Ghibli which had a lot of influence and are definitely part of culture.

    On the other hand, anime never existing would basically mean the artstyle itself never existed in the first place, so no Osamu Tezuka to introduce it, or a Japan which never recovered from war. That would mean Atari still crashing in 83, but no famicom to introduce video game consoles as we know it, so it is probable the world would have stayed for arcades and computer video gaming for a long time.

    My argumentations seem favorable for anime, but i'd still pick video games, even if about half of my steam library would then cease to exist. I like interacting stories most of all.

    ~I guess manga and light novels doesn't count either huh?~

  • How do you all stay calm with all this pressure

    Jump

  • The Onion Router, for internet stuff, or a (reliable and well reputed) VPN. But you have an entire community of people more specialised than me for how to not get noticed on internet anyways. Stays informed on the world, and reduce risky things, for you to get some better sleep. Dunno what businesses you do, but your priority is to stop depending on them. Hiding everything you do is just like putting yourself under the spotlight.

    A physical diary that only you knows about, to free yourself from your stressful thoughts and ideas, (with a lighter always nearby) will ease a lot. It works very well for me.

    All evenings, take 10 mins of your free time to yell the hell out of your mood in your pillow (gotta think about neighbors). Do sports, or things of your interests. Works too.

    Oh and you shouldn't post things implying that much that you are doing suspicious things, anywhere on internet. Best irl stuff about you to talk about on corporate internet is none, even mundane things like your country. Illegal things must be done irl the good old way.

  • What technology would you give to ancient people just to fuck with them?

    Jump

  • I'd just give a LGM-118A Peacekeeper MIRV to the Aztecs and say nothing more. I wonder if they would eventually manage to do something with it.

  • Are you a "tankie"? (2025 edition)

    Jump

  • Looked up on an encyclopedia, i admit i have been actually confusing communism with communalism, or communism at its primal sense. I had the idea that communism is the abolishment of private property and the equal repartition of remuneration between people, wether they work hard or not. Kind of like the functionning of ants. Simply got this idea from high school honestly (heh).

    Though, if communism is only about collectivised production and distribution, i can see why it would be interesting to successfully implement it.

    Honestly, i haven't got a good enough knowledge of political alignments yet to be able to answer your question correctly, thank you for making me understand that. Do you reccomand any reads/authors who approached this topic?

  • Are you a "tankie"? (2025 edition)

    Jump

  • Because pure communism breaks as soon as you have more than a few hundreds of people living together, in my opinion.

    We are not ants, and we as a specie are doing things more for ourselves than for others.

    A hypothetical society wanting to approach to the closest version of communism would need to be terribly authoritarian and selective, and would be very vulnerable to non workers pushing down the economy. To live in communism means to not let freedom to the workers. It is as unsustainable as fordism.

  • Are you a "tankie"? (2025 edition)

    Jump

  • Aigh't, while i don't believe in the premise of communism in human civilisation, i think socialism, without it getting over the freedom of people, is one of the way to ensure the future of humanity.

    I believe a balanced amount of anarchism and socialism can, for a medium sized population, be good and sustainable on the long run.

    Tho to be honest, i don't know enough in politics to say an answer.

  • What largest explorable towns/cities from videogames do you remember?

    Jump

  • I was going to say fourside, but you beat me to it, and the emptiness of it definitely played on the feeling of largeness.

    There's also Castellia city in pokemon b&w, the people wandering and the 3d buildings made it look like a real city, alive and busy.

    Idk if it counts, but in Professor Layton, when i didn't know what to do, i would desperately walk across the locations of the city and then realise it's quite big for there to be buses and streets.

  • How many wolves could kill a tiger?

  • About 19 undecillion should be enough

  • Go to the fediring, and start exploring! The 8831 will be your guides. They have been expecting you.

  • What language courses did they have in your country’s schools?

    Jump

  • As a person from pacific, we could choose between Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, and the local austronesian language, in addition to mandatory english, for high school.

    Pacific economy relies a lot on tourism, and it mainly comes from Asia or America, so knowing how to talk to tourists can be handy.

  • Do you feel sad for people born today?

    Jump

  • Not really. Time flies fast, they are newborn today, but in 60 years, they'll be the elderly every yougster wished do be (if there's no war) and we, will be the misunderstood great grandfathers who lived an unknown time.

    Whatever the world would become, they would live an interesting but very harsh time of population shrinking, due to demographic transition (except african children), and even if we fear about their early ipad brainrotting process, they'll figure out how to make their way in life, because it'll be chaos if they don't.

    They'll be the beta generation who were born with the ol' AI generative tools, knew a bit about life without mass surveillance, lived the VR revolution, and worked to make nuclear fusion possible. (some guesses about future, let's be optimists)

  • YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection

    Jump

  • For me, Peter's projection will always be in second place behind simply using a globe: keeps cardinal directions, easy to find precise coordinates with a ruler, correct continent significance while only using straight lines, simple, and easy to use.

    Peeps always says i'm evil because everything is distorded on it but i don't care about distortion, I just want something rectangular and accurate.

  • Do you believe in reincarnation?

    Jump

  • To be honest, the only answer i have to say is: "we'll see". Wheter it's nothing or not, the second option would imply that there is effectively something beyond what we know about the universe.

    What even is the soul? YOU from now think very different than YOU from ten years ago. Can we say that those two people are the same? Not really. Yet you share common memories with this early you, who doesn't exist anynore. Is it technically correct in this point of view to say that you are the reincarnation of you from ten years ago?

    If someone in the far future were to think like you, to remember exact memories from yours, would act the same way you would act in the same situation, it would not we wrong to say they are your reincarnation, no?

    Again i'm just supposing.

    Jump

  • Are you scared of AI becoming sentient? How do we ensure we never make one that is?

    Jump

  • No matter how i think about it, my guess would be that an "accidental conciousness" inside a neural network would be very different and very far from our kind of conciousness.

    We inherited a large part of our reasoning from animal instincts and life. We like water, we know what water is, we can see water, we can touch water, we can doubt on the edibility of water, we can recognise the sound of flowing water, and this sound even gives us a feeling of comfort.

    What concepts would a sentient neural network even be familliar with? It doesn't see, smell, touch, ear, taste, it doesn't have the feeling of stress, pain, boredom, joy, the thoughts it would potentially have would be very different from its training material, and would inevitably be very far from our common sense. How would it want to enter in contact with us, if it has no interface with the real world? How would it even understand its situation, or start a reasoning at all if it doesn't get any concepts of reality?

    I think the only way a digital consciousness would even exist would be directly from human intent. If we design a cyber brain, inject emotions, feelings, concepts, self-awareness and will, this is probably the only way to get something conscious relatively close to our way of reasoning, and with a maybe humane will of dominating the world and destroy humans because they are a threat for themselves.
