Is the world getting massively stupider or am I just noticing how stupid its always been???

Remember that Simpsons episode where homer kept walking into the rake over and over and over? Ya thats us

Ok then, “Forrest Gump” is one of the most overrated movies in history. Honestly I hated everything about it and I never will understand peoples reverence for it. Shawshank is an infinitely better movie.

The universe would be better off deleted

energy cannot be created or destroyed, so good luck with deleting it

Aliens are here. They are disguised as humans. The moon is a base

metal illness is not an opinion, popular or otherwise

Waterworld is good

I think the real problem is Kevin Costner was trying to position himself as a ‘manly man’ in that movie and he just isn’t. His best roles were as Eliot Ness or Jim Garrison, not wet Mad Max

LLM stole our code

Eh Im not so sure, all functions for anything open source or with an API are well documented, if it simply knows literally All the functions and knows how to put them together in a coherent way, then I highly doubt its ‘stealing’ anyones code.

Its like AI art, we told AI what a cat looks like by showing it thousands of picture of cats, so now it knows how to draw a cat based on that data. When you ask it to draw a cat its not just pulling one of its thousands of cat pics out and showing it it to you, thats not how it works.

I’m a former vegan

The dangers of the vegan diet far outweigh any purported societal benefits. The best examples are people who essentially starve their children and pets to death (or near death) because they are so hell bent on promoting the vegan agenda.

Im fine with a reasonably informed adult making whatever choice they like for themselves, but leave kids and animals out of it.

Veganism is a morally correct

It may be morally virtuous, but we have no moral obligation to not eat meat. And most of the vegan talking points are either factually vacuous or flat out lying which is a bad sign for that movement.

(example 1: Feeding all the people on earth without meat would actually be impossible, we do not have anywhere near enough viable farmland for that to happen.)

those that think and do not act, deserve more compassion

Well if its any consolation, pedophilia is not a crime and never has been. Rape is the crime and always should be. Not all pedophiles are rapists, we need to prosecute actual rapists more instead of electing them president.

Nirvana and The Beatles are super over rated and are only well known because they sold out/were promoted

Well… there it something to be said for breaking new ground or being innovative in your field, both of those bands were are the forefront of massive pop music waves. It never hurts to be first at something.

You couldn’t pay me to use Gimp. The interface offends me.

Try Photogimp

On linux I just use Blender for video editing, it does about 95% of what I need

Where lions ambush gazelles when they go to the water hole

Ah, see this is the explanation I needed

Gimp 3 is actually a massive improvement and they are releasing updates on a routine basis now. Try Photogimp if you like a more standard interface and layout

Kinda wishin I knew what a thirst trap was…

“I’m sleeping very well”

People cant assess themselves for sleep issues, you are asleep, you cant tell whats happening. If you have central apnea you might be ‘waking’ 30 or 60 times per hour and never have a clue its happening. But the side effect is you never get to the recuperative level of sleep the body needs.

people should be aware there are 2 kinds of sleep apnea and sometimes you can have both of them, like me I have both and its referred to as ‘complex apnea’.

Sounds a lot like sleep apnea to me, people need to be aware there are 2 kinds and sometimes you can have both of them.
