She was already dead when the picture was taken.

That would be a good print for a t-shirt.

If his greed surpasses his cowardice and he sees an opportunity, sure.

I like their older stuff. „Clocks“, „Trouble“, „yellow“ or „The scientist“ are fucking awesome.

After that I listened to them less and less.

Are they bots? This reads like a parody, like someone re-enacting a Reddit post after only having heard stories about the website.

The jokes aren’t even funny…

Ah, the story of how Putins Russia invaded Ukraine.

What exactly is a realistic option for most people?

Nobody said it’s easy. It might be easier now than at a later point.

Macro level

So you’re saying better be quick and be among the first?

I‘m mentally fine, but I’m worried - every single day. They only thing you can do is not to let it eat you whole.

Sport and touching grass is good start, but it’s not enough. Are you an American? Start planning how to get out of there. It will be getting worse, much worse. You can also think of stuff were you can do something to contribute helping others.

Curate your online presence. Get news from a mix of reputable news sources. Try to use your phone less. Do some journaling to sort your thoughts.

Personally I go more and more analogue recently. I write with a fountain pen in an old fashioned Leuchtturm journal. I bought an old canon camera und take pictures on film. I even bought a typewriter on a flea market for 5 bucks, but I haven’t used it yet.

The only reason I’m on Lemmy is I want to support a reddit alternative and I want to stay in touch with recent developments. And of course because of memes.

Really? That’s new to me.

Hogfather by Terry Pratchett:

„

right," said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.”

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—”

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

“So we can believe the big ones?”

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

“They’re not the same at all!”

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—”

MY POINT EXACTLY

This is fun to read, but never happened.

LMMs have no problem indexing writing, no matter how it is written. Even if this was the case, Techbros don’t care about your blog. ChatGPT has indexed every book that has been published, your blog hardly matters to them. And it is not harder to index than the library of congress.

LMM suck, but posts like this are useless circlejerks about the supremacy over machines, when in fact the machines are already better in this area.
