Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Yeah that’s a good one. Especially the first season, but the second ain’t bad either.

Yes and it’s awesome.

• Frieren was awesome but it’s so fresh I’m not absolutely sure it’ll keep being that

• Severance season 1 (follow-up seasons upcoming, not sure if they can keep up with the extremely high quality of S1)

• True Detective season 1

• Madoka was great, thanks to tight storytelling and the best soundtrack I’ve ever heard

• Kino’s Journey – somewhat similar to Frieren but 20 years prior

• Chernobyl (2019)

• Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

• Firefly

• Twin Peaks, especially seasons 1 and 3, but season 2 and the movie might be needed to fully appreciate

I guess you’re referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don’t think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.

But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible or at least difficult, and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.

You get to exist and understand that you do. That’s pretty huge already, as far as I can tell.

It’s like a good C++ that is actually able to replace it. There are lots of places where a good C++ is useful. Like everything that needs low latency and low resource usage.

But it’s not an easy language, so (I’m guessing) people who see everyone loving it but are unable to learn it start to suffer some sort of cognitive dissonance. If it’s too difficult for me to learn, that must be its fault, not mine.

PHP is Russian. Used to be huge, caused lots of problems, now slowly dwindling away. Its supporters keep saying how it’s still better than the competition.

Rooting for bad people in fiction is a fine way to process that part of your own self with no actual risks or consequences. If doing that turns people bad, then playing role-playing games turns people into satan worshippers.

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.

Seems like a somewhat healthier race than corgi. Average age 15 years versus Corgi’s 12 years 3 months.

Have kids, kill your kids, check out cutlery, kill yourself, kill others, visit toilet. In this order.

Turnips are awesome. We get fresh ones where I live like 2 weeks a year :-|

Does one side disregarding the Geneva convention mean the other is free to do so?

I mean yeah if both conventions revolve around the same thing, like for instance if the same hospital is both a sanctuary for civilians but also being used by soldiers. A more general whataboutism is another thing.

Which side are you referring to there? Both of them?

Some kind of a supporter here, I guess. Or let’s say that I’m so much anti-Hamas that it’s logical to be a bit anti-Palestine and pro-Israel.

Legality of Israeli settlements

Some of those settlements are not legal and israelis should leave those areas.

Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside.

It’s questionable if this applies when the other side violates other Geneva conventions by using the hospitals for military activity.

I thought the level of discourse has increased sharply since lemmy.world got along, and the effect of lemmy.ml’s somewhat extremist stance has lessened. It’s now possible to mostly actually talk here without blocking half of the whole network.

So I would be perfectly ok with dropping lemmy.ml from the rest of the network. But I’m guessing that goes somewhat against the overall philosophy of the whole thing?

The UI.

Perhaps a trillion galaxies out there. Numbers of stars in a typical galaxy is about 100 billion. But at least we have more grains of sand on our planet.

Anyway, life most probably gets better after high school, and most probably keeps getting better until you’re old enough to develop some disease. Or perhaps you die in war, or in a hospital bed, or homeless under a bridge.

I truly don’t know where I’m going with this.

WHAT WAS HE HIDING?

The reason for his obesity?
