“Whatever else we may be as creatures that go to and fro on the earth and walk up and down upon it, we are meat.”

“Why should generations unborn be spared entry into the human thresher?”

“…nonexistence never hurt anyone and existence hurts everyone.”

“Every one of us, having been stolen from nonexistence, opens his eyes on the world and looks down the road at a few convulsions and a final obliteration.”

“…this new Adam and Eve are only being readied for the meat grinder of existence…”

“…non-coital existence… the surest path to redemption for the sin of being congregants of this world.”

That’s bait.

Have you ever fought/served in an armed conflict?

The phrase “Russia is kicking Ukraine’s ass.”, to me, comes from someone who is, at best, an AirSoft cosplayer.

It’s hyperbolic propaganda at face value, and doesn’t match up with credible intelligence analysis reporting from news agencies both in and outside of NATO countries. The narrative spun by such hand-waiving talk is that casualty attrition rate per kilometer gained has no bearing on logistic or strategic capability.

Anyone who has been seriously involved with warfare knows that the casualty rates of the supposed 2nd/3rd most capable military in the world are appalling considering the relatively small size of the Ukrainian military. This is an absurd gamble Putin has made. The men lost now will not be there to finally take Kyiv.

On top of that, there’s very little to stop the PLA from rolling his entire South-Eastern flank and putting their giant dick in his puckered asshole. It’s convenient for them for the Russian Federation and NATO to be occupied so they may sell their influence with relative ease, and continue dicking with their other Asian neighbors.

Do you believe that the Ukrainians will just stop fighting after Kyiv has fallen, by the way?

I also don’t take the view that the Russian Federation is “losing”. The Ukrainians are certainly barely managing a desperate struggle for survival; their only hope is international military pressure from other geographic theaters of operations and/or a collapse of Putin’s regime. They must also try to keep engaging the invading forces in a war of maneuver instead of static defense with dwindling man-power and arms.

However, despite all of that, the Orcs are far from “kicking Ukraine’s ass”. If they were, in my opinion, we’d see Russian Federation flags a few kilometers outside of Kyiv, and even more probing of Polish, Lithuanian, Estonian, Latvian, and Finnish airspaces.

I had to say something. The bullshit of “Russia is kicking Ukraine’s ass,” is too strong of an odor to ignore.

Russia still kicking Ukraine’s ass

What, in your mind, is the attrition/casualty rate per kilometer of advancement by the Russian army?

I don’t think you’re getting information from an impartial news source.

But gravity believes in you!

That depends on the gravity of the situation.

Admit it. You did.

No, if they strike the owners will have to clean it up.

They won’t have to if they strike.

This isnt a comic per se

Why the fuck are you posting it in !comicstrips@lemmy.world?

When you say “AI”, do you mean a large language model?

Then, no. A language model is not super intelligent.

Also, with respect to any artificial intelligence created by human beings in general, no. It is only designed to make predictions of text based on training on a corpus of text which is ultimately composed by a human mind or many human minds that are very fallible, prone to delusions, and also unaware of broader realities and dimensions of existence.

There’s far better bourbon out there, seniors.

I’ll adjust and say that you’re, in my eyes, a “power user”, since I had not considered running my daily driver “headless” with WMs instead of with a DE until your comment. If “strong opinions” is too “strong”, I’ll also adjust and say I am interested in said evolving preferences and, more importantly, the reasoning behind them.

But people seek out therapy, they generally don’t want it from their friends and family without prompting.

Let me be clearer and more concise then.

Yes, people shouldn’t give unsolicited advice by default, but if one wants a precise style of listening without reaction, the onus is on one to say that up front, or pay a therapist, and, finally, venting will elicit comments and/or criticism regardless of the taboo of advice, depending on the nature of one’s culpability.

If one vents and needs commiseration over problems with glaringly obvious solutions, especially if the problems are self-caused/imposed, they are immature assholes who don’t want to or have the capacity for self-reflection, nor respect for others’ time.

This only my opinion about this video; it’s not gospel.

I’m what some call a “normie” Linux user, so I like desktop environments. I run KDE Neon on my main workstation, and then I have a laptop running CachyOS.

You seem like an expert who has strong opinions. I’m interested to listen and read about people’s likes and dislikes about niche subjects, such as desktop environments.
