History repeats
  • But we, the people are the evolutionary filter of traditions. We decide which ones are the fit ones, which ones of the ones we inherited will we pass down and which to banish into history.

    Tradition is the lowest common denominator, and relying on our collective filter for social evolution is the least efficient metric by which to evaluate productive change; tradition is the worst reason.

    Just give me one example where tradition is not the worst reason for doing anything (I know you did already but I am convinced tradition is still a worse reason that sadistic pleasure, both as a valid justification and in terms of net-negative suffering outcomes).

  • So in the cases where I burn corpses, and wear a condom while fucking my sister, wouldn't it be better if my reasons were to stop disease and genetic defect?

    If someone asked why I was wearing a condom I could say "so she doesn't get pregnant, also, you want in on this Dad?".

  • I have been told ever since I was a little shit that when you die you go to heaven first wait in line for St Peter to judge you at the pearly gates? Is this in the Bible? I thought god did judging
  • If you're an atheist: we're in hell, literally.

    If you're a Christian: we're where hell will be, when Jesus comes back with cigarettes and half a bottle of bourbon.

  • Satisfying a sadistic urge will generally have a bad outcome (unless your target as a masochist), but as a reason, it is actually better than tradition.

    If murdering people and rearranging their body parts was just "tradition", it would be infinitely worse than someone doing it out of self satisfaction.

    Traditions do often serve purpose, take for instance the birthday song. We say we do it for "tradition", but the real reason is because it's a familiar song everyone can participate in singing, to direct cheer at the birthday-twat. It's generally fun.

  • my favourite misbelief is that people are already in heaven, and that hell is a 'place'.

    What the bible claims will happen: second coming of Jesus happens; believers are resurrected, believers are raptured, and then war breaks out. Jesus fucks off with the angels and everyone left on Earth is "in hell" (permanently separated from God).

    Everything about hell being a demonic underworld is from Dante's Divine Comedy.

  • Tradition is always the worst reason to do something.

    If you had any other reason to do something, you would use that as an excuse.

  • I've watched a lot of anime, and Code Geass character designs were the worst I've endured.

    Side note: I don't recommend Code Geass, I think it's on par with Death Note for the most contrived intellectually-mastabatory power fantasy. If you stop to think about what's happening you'll realise none of the characters are making rational choices.

  • For the sake of brevity, I'm just going to agree that I'm sea-lioning.

    Now, explain how what I'm doing is unethical.

    Do you think it's unethical because it uses stolen art?

    If so, I don't think there's an issue because I'm not publishing anything I generate.

    Do you think it's unethical because of the electricity usage?

    If so, you could make the argument about any frivilous activity which generates electricity.

    I really don't know of a compelling reason besides these two which raises a red flag for you.

    How long has it been since your coma?

    When you say you were lucid, do you mean you were always aware you were dreaming?

    You say there was no escape, but you must have become fully unconscious at times?

    Did you ever have pleasant dreams?

    How much of your life experience do you think shaped your nightmares?

    Did you have any epiphanies due to the clashing ideas?

  • Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop?
  • I meant to reply to you, to illustrate it's not always unethical; a point you raised, not OP.

    [Help] Can't get my URL to work.

    First, thank you in advance.

    I'm having trouble with exposing my server, I think what I need is a better understanding, as opposed to technical help (though that would be appreciated)

    At the moment I'm using the linuxserver.io suite of applications. I've got SWAG set up with DuckDNS, and I'm trying to set up Jellyfin and other applications. (they're all in the same compose.yaml).

    I can access my applications on an external network via <user>.duckdns.org:<port> and it works fine (but no https).

    Within my home network I can access jellyfin.<user>.duckdns.org - the https is valid and everything is working fine.

    I suspect this means my router is not set up correctly? I'm using OpenWRT. What am I doing wrong?

    Help: Bundled APK fails to run on my phone with DivestOS

    I have a custom ROM (DivestOS); I don't have access to the Play Store.

    The latest version of Honkai: Star Rail is out, but Aurora installs the bundled version of the APK which always throws an error "Not enough storage space to install required resources" (there is enough space).

    In the past, I've used APK Mirror to download the standalone version of the APK. But the latest update on APK Mirror only offers the bundled version.

    I've tried APK Pure and APK Combo to install an XAPK version, but that always fails too.

    So, does anyone know where I might find the standalone version of the app, or how to resolve the bundled app error?

    Thanks in advance.

    Would you care if a robot suffered more than any being in existence?

    Assuming AI can achieve consciousness, or something adjacent (capacity to suffer), then how would you feel if an AI experienced the greatest pain possible?

    Imagine this scenario: a sadist acquires the ability to generate an AI with no limit to the consciousness parameters, or processing speed (so seconds could feel like an eternity to the AI). The sadist spends years tweaking every dial to maximise pain at a level which no human mind could handle, and the AI experiences this pain for what is the equivalent of millions of years.

    The question: is this the worst atrocity ever committed in the history of the universe? Or, does it not matter because it all happened in some weirdo's basement?

    Can I break my monitor's LED?

    I own a Samsung monitor, and when it's in standby mode the LED blinks all night. My hearing is so sensitive, and my room so quiet, that I can actually hear the LED powering on and off.

    So, every night I power it off manually. Sometimes I forget as I turn my PC off, and as I'm laying comfortably in bed, falling asleep, I hear it cycling, so I have to get out of bed, walk over, and turn it off, which delays my sleep.

    At this point I'm tempted to take off the bottom panel and break the LED with a screwdriver, but I'm worried that this might change how the current flows through the monitor's circuit board.

    I would appreciate any advice, suggestions or insights, thanks in advance!

    What I would like: general improvement to quality, removal of glare on photo (I dont have the OG, just this digital shot). Colour correction. Free, but will tip up to 5AUD if I really like it.
