It is German, but the video seems to have a translation into English too (also French) which you can access through the cogwheel menu.

I don’t get why this had -25 net upvotes before I gave it an upvote to balance it, I think it’s a good shower thought and thinking of AI slop as similar to dreams is genuinely not something I’d thought of before.

Would cats care about red dots that aren’t moving? My impression is cats just have a hunting instinct that is triggered by everything moving that is small enough to be prey, including red dots, but only if they are moving…

Some men can do that. Go ahead and ask them if they are that much happier.

I think upvoting incorrect comments is a bad thing; if incorrect comments have a net positive score, readers might get the impression that they are correct.

The vast majority of things I see, I neither upvote nor downvote. They have to be either extraordinarily good (exactly what I would have written or extraordinarily insightful) or extraordinarily bad (bad faith, blatant falsehood) for me to do that. When I disagree with something, I write a reply explaining why, or upvote one if there already is one, but I don’t downvote what I merely disagree with.

If that were the goal it would be further west so that all of Europe and Africa would be east of it.

The prime meridian is a completely arbitrary line and the “western hemisphere” (defined in terms of it) is equally arbitrary. We need a prime meridian though, if only in order to draw the international date line on the opposite side of it.

Yes, but not mainline Pokémon games.

Never in my life have I been as excited about a video game release as I was in 2004 for Pokémon FRLG.

Now I haven’t touched them in a long time and have no idea why anyone might be excited about games we already know everything about. But then again there are children out there who are the same age as I was in 2004 and they might never have played FRLG on the GBA.

TBF these are games that were originally released with separate cartridges for each language, so this isn’t an especially surprising thing.

ah, I guess my non-natively English-speaking brain didn’t catch that

That may be counterproductive, see: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2016/12/14/president-reject-dont-say-his-name and https://stallman.org/glossary.html (under “the troll”)

If I interpret this comment and this comment correctly, this may be a feature of PieFed that automatically (or with a checkbox?) announces new communities to this one, so the people who are doing this might not be completely aware that this is what they are doing and might end up not reading this post.

Except it’s not my reflection, it’s a reflection of millions if not billions of humans.

any word can sound like an insult if you say it with the right tone, I think? Isn’t there a song somewhere on YT about words that aren’t technically slurs that makes that point?
