  • Did social media made people unable to properly chat?

  • It might set a certain mood. You feast upon the global conversational banquet, yet you still feel hungry.

  • Paying attention is actually ignoring because when you pay attention to one thing you ignore everything else.

    Jump

  • That's an excellent one :)

  • One thing I think about is the incredible poverty of text.

    When you look at a word you get a meaning. But that meaning, it comes mostly from your entire life's experience, your memory, what you've been taught. That's huge. And the word is very very small, comparatively.

    So when you're reading, 99% of the content is coming from you. So reading is basically you just talking to yourself. And social media is a million people talking to themselves.

    And that's pretty weird.

  • If you had to teach a subject in school, what would it be and why?

    Jump

  • I would teach arts and crafts to grade school kids. I'm really good at that stuff (I even have a degree). And I have a good course plan worked out.

    Everybody tells me I'd last about an hour tho. I am not good with stress. Grade school kids have like 3x normal energy.

  • After you blow your nose, do you look in the tissue?

  • Every single time. I just like it.

  • making roguelike content. Mazes, monsters etc

  • You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you?

  • It's one example of a common disease. So I figured it bore discussion. Now put it back in your pants and zip up.

  • I want to spend a half hour this evening reading an essay that contains ideas I have probably not considered before. What can you recommend?

  • I said that the word of an authority that I respect would do it.

    And by "do it" I meant (in reply to [email protected]) that it would justify anger at the accused.

    That's pretty far from truth. It's putting my trust in an authority.

  • But to address your point.

    To treat fiction and reality as equally real. And treat our responses to either as having equal substance. Seems deranged to me.

  • You mean like utterly totally zip? Surely not. Surely one is at least a little something. Like a fart in a wind, or a fart in a colander, or something farty like that.

  • Don't take hearsay so seriously.

    Don't take the rabble's judgment of great artists so seriously either

  • Neuters of Lemmy : Do you enjoy romcoms?

    Jump

  • All the biological sex stuff

  • Neuters of Lemmy : Do you enjoy romcoms?

    Jump

  • No none of it. All the glands and appliances removed. Which leads us to my question.

    Lacking all that, would romcoms be boring?

  • I'm not familiar. But ya, same idea.

    I'd attribute it to that willingness to believe, but I'd take it a step further. An eagerness to believe. An eagerness to enjoy the high of a good anger. Outweighing any loyalty to reality.
