I don’t believe life has a meaning. I don’t believe that anybody has a reason to be here, in any kind of grand scheme of things.

However, if somebody finds something that they enjoy, they might find they want more of that feeling, and choose to stick around to get it.

Most living things want to continue living. Whether that’s because death is scary and potentially unpleasant in a few different ways, or because they’ve become attached to something in the world.

That’s why I think some people fight diseases to live a few more years. They might not be planning on anything specific, other than just not dying.

It’s basically karma, but exclusively - in my experience - describes negative outcomes. Similar to “just desserts”.

Isn’t the saying “Pot calling the kettle black”? I’m also not sure about the “all that and a bag of chips” – it doesn’t refer to getting free things, it means something similar to “the bee’s knees”.

That’s good of them. We’ll see what their Canva overlords think of those nice intentions 🫡

Awh fuck. I bought a lifetime thing for the whole Affinity studio like two years ago when it was on sale. Is there a decent alternative to Affinity? I would rather not go back to GIMP for images, just cos the UI/UX isn’t so smooth!

Oh no, when did they get bought by those ghouls?

Religious schools exist!

Religion, to try and dodge sex abuse charges

Hilarious, you got me 😂 I am so crushed that you’re not an actual astronaut though!

That’s so sick. What do I have to do to be able to get drunk in space? Have you been training to be an astronaut your whole life or is it a career switch?

You drink in space??? What kind of gin? What’s being drunk in zero g like? I’m gonna vomit just at the thought of a space hangover mate

I’d regularly have a pint or two (no more than three) with my boss on Wednesday lunchtimes! And, in another workplace, while I was a young’un throwing an almighty tantrum, I spent a month having four double vodkas for lunch most days. Stunned I wasn’t fired, honestly. (UK)

It’s bullshit. It’s inauthentic. It can be useful for chewing through data, but even then the output can’t be trusted. The only people I’ve met who are absolutely thrilled by it are my bosses, who are two of the most frustrating, stupid, pig-headed, petty people I’ve ever met. I wish it would go away. I’m quitting my job next week, taking a big paycut and barely being able to pay the bills, specifically because those two people are unbearable. They also insist that I use AI as much as possible.

Could just be curious

Nah cos you’re right, they’re shit - but if we’re talking about a future where these models are unfortunately used by uncreative dorks enough that they harvest enough music to become good, it’ll be a sad day.

It’s just deeply inauthentic. I’d feel tricked if I listened to a song that I enjoyed and found out it was actually a meaningless machine printout.

Oedipus.

I don’t think they meant that sentence as a criticism if you’re reading it that way – if you take it with the second part of that sentence, I think they meant “out of all the places you could have run to, luckily you ran to the bathroom which provides some convenient excuses for tomorrow”.

I hope you’re feeling better soon anyway, it sucks having a moment like that and feeling so humiliated :( we’re all human though, and they will understand :)

Can you ask the universe when my landlady will lower my rent pls? I don’t understand particle physics

Is the universe more likely deterministic? :o
