Reddit was awesome.

It’s sad what became of it. Jumped ships that took me to Lemmy-kbin Land!I love games, gamification and chat roleplaying, socializing with people, volunteering, different lists and difficult topics!

I come to think about ajph (arousal jumps per hour) 🤔

Mine would probably be interesting activities on the computer (gaming for instance).

But when it comes to bad feels strong enough I cannot escape through gaming, then I talk or write about said feels.

My friend burned her text for the same effect.

Cool!

Ideonella sakaiensis would be the name of the bacteria.

@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a shame you cannot see bacteria with naked eye!

You’d need some kind of a bacteria alarm system!

At least I’d hope that they informed the driver/car owner about the AI system in their car and - if it so is - that The AI could decide against their life.
Then they “just” need to decide is it worth it to get such a car with such an AI system or not.

Not telling them that their car has such an AI would be unethical, to say the least.

Not made easy 😬

Concerning the negative votes -

My intention was not to upvote or downvote such an AI system.
My point was to bring it here for discussion and to think about it, neutrally 😁

I try to watch the move annually!
This time with my girlfriend for the first time!

Damaskox, (edited )
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Lol wut?
Are you implying that the movie is terrible?

Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her 😂

.

I don’t like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movie’s plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.

I also point out just in case that I don’t approve torture.

What doesn’t work out in the movie?

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Who is your favorite character?

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Hmm. Depends probably on do you leave the knives out, have paper/cardboard/plastic knives or real fighter knives with the costume!

An easier Halloween costume is Ghostface. No trousers and a shirt/jacket but a robe.
My friend drew the outline of the knife he uses in the movie in cardboard and I added many layers, getting a nice, thicker cardboard knife!

Buying a (premium) service to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you have the money? Do you get enough kicks out of the money you would be spending? Do you know the pros and cons of subscribing/going in a service (what will they provide for the money spent?)? Do you want to support the service - even so far to provide them money? You need to provide additional data of yourself to make the purchase and may even need to learn how to do it - are you ready for that?

Getting an (ad-blocking) extension to a browser to get rid of something awful requires effort and resources.
Do you know how to start using extensions in browsers and what to do if you need to troubleshoot them? Is it free (are paid extensions even a thing? I don’t recall seeing one)? Can you support someone you would want to support with a ad-blocker (some decent folks who make good content may be in need of the money they get from ads, but then again, there’s a chance you can send them money through other means)? Are you supporting a service that has an built-in feature that annoys you (in this case, providing ads for the users to see), endorsing such behavior (even more) even though you cannot see those ads yourself?

Both options may require research. Both options are influenced by other people and by their opinions. Both options have their pros and cons. Both options have consequences.

.

I don’t buy any subscriptions. I wouldn’t have the money for that and I have bad experiences of them.
I can support someone with a grateful comment or sharing their content to others.
I myself stick with the ad-blocking services.

But don’t let me influence you with what/how I do it 😉 Make up yer own mind and act accordingly.

Comfort zone is easy. You don’t need to think as much and it may be a stress-free area.

Outside the comfort zone is where you can learn new things of yourself. What you like, dislike, think about the world and things inside it. It might be stressful and scary there.

Too far outside the comfort zone may result in burnout or mental problems.

I was pretty shook over one book I read, plunging me into sadness for about a week.
I listened at sad piano music and made many custom pictures with this website using the book (cover) themed art 😂

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s the same reason YouTube can keep shooting itself in the foot and still thrive: it’s where all the eyeballs are concentrated now.

Yeah…it is difficult to jump ships and try out another service - even when the other service is generally a better option than the previous one - if you don’t get an audience big enough to even bother starting with the otherwise better service.

This feels like a neat prompt for a horror story!

Easy.
Poop flavored chocolate.

Chances are, it would be more healthy (unless deliberately using poop itself as an ingredient).

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I do hope you are wrong on that 😅

Oof. My sister did this in GTA. It was sooooo frustrating to watch at! 😂

I haven’t tried but -

I once asked what would be a real life equivalent of those small chores you find in video games that earn you a little gold.
Someone answered that driving people around.

.

  • If you get a million views in YouTube, can you gain a small income through that?
  • Can you partner up with other names/creators to raise awareness/visibility to your own name/work?
  • Sometimes you need to keep standing your ground. Explain how it is and if they don’t believe you, ignore them.
  • Do you wish to get money? Is this a hobby?

.

I think it depends how a post you create is doing. What the community you choose is, what is its activity, what kind is your post, what materials you use (text, images etc)…
To my knowledge (of one month), it’s easier to get any sort of engagement (being it likes or comments) from one cute or sad comic image than from sincere, deeper discussion of whatever topic.
We are fighting against people’s time. How should they use it?
And then again - we use these services for different purposes. Some of us jump in for a quick lolz off pictures, while others delve for hours in all sorts of peculiar discussions.

(I’m not so much of a content creator - at least when it comes to something else than text. But I try to do my part in all sorts of communities that interest me to kick some engagement around this place 💓
I’d like to see this thing taking off and getting at least some of the activity what Reddit gets)

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I think we should cherish commenting too.

Creating posts is not the only way of making engagement. Even though it’s better than having a community of 0 posts, I still would be sad to look at a community that has one new post daily but doens’t get any votes or comments.
Within time not getting engagement can become demoralizing to the content creator. Why bother if you don’t get anything in return? (Been there, felt that - and in many occasions.)

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

What do you mean? Negative or constructive criticism? Negative votes?

Hardship is a part of life. That goes to criticism as well.
I am willing to take risks of bad feels for the sake of trying to make places more active. Luckily I’ve been doing much better than what I first anticipated!
No pain, no gain.

“I want to train your child to become the ULTIMATE CONTENT CREATORRR”

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I haven’t met many people in this “they suck”-mold of yours. The contrary however…

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I’d just ignore such folks. Plus I have yet to meet those folks - even after 62 posts I have done!

I don’t go for Internet points only. That also fuels me to trying coming up with something of quality, but it’s also the good discussions and possibly providing something interesting to folks to read/look at and to make them even think about stuff that gets me going 😄 Kicking in some extra activity in these communities!
But the same can be achieved with comments - you’re right with that one.

Making a post can require more thinking and effort, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I have spent more effort on a comment than on making a post!
The feel and interaction is different with a post and a comment. A post can wake up all sorts of commenting and a post is “more visible” to people who sees it as they scroll away. Comments of course also provide activity within a post/community, may generally be less visible to more people (you have to click a post open to see comments) and they can also gain all the off-topic commentary on them - just like in a post.

Not saying that commenting is worse than creating a whole post. Both have their reasons to exist and their places to be used.

Ooooh, I like this idea! I would also be curious - would be awesome to check this out!

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I’d like to check out

  • a world similar to our size but that has only one country/kingdom/etc
  • a world that never had wars/always lived in peace
  • a world that had teleportation unlocked and where it would be as easy to use as walking
  • a world that had invented an item that lets you “store” and “read” feelings (you could read other’s feelings too)
  • (golden compass) a world where humans/all intelligent species would have their souls as creatures that followed them in life
Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

And what would have been an alternative purpose, if it wasn’t religion 🤔

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I do assume that a (real, unlike places we come up with here) place which had no problems or was perfect could not exist.

Plus - in who’s point of view would it be perfect?

Damaskox,
@Damaskox@lemmy.world avatar

I like the thought that you could choose for what purpose when you select the thing you transform into.
Is it for fighting, traveling, hiding, adventuring, reproduction, collecting materials off from etc

Reminds me of one video. I recall his friends made a prank. The dude woke up from drinking too much in a hospital room where the nurse said that the had been comatose for many years.
To be clear, this wasn’t the case - it was just a prank.

…but I bet experiencing that would put some people to think.

I love wasting spending lots of time on the computer.

I’m friends with Beeminder.
I started at one minute less per day. At the moment I get one day in the countdown when I’m off the machine for 165 minutes. I raise the value when I feel it - slowly and steadily.

I’ve noticed that I generally like to use a dot more. It gives more space that I need.

I feel mostly indifferent about not being able to delete an app without providing feedback to the reason(s).

But to provide feedback to delete an app that was installed for you WITHOUT your knowledge…mate! Not okay!
