I don’t think portraying the execs as just dumb and the general public as mega brains is accurate…

The execs want to strip out value as profit and take actions to maximise this, they don’t care if it fundamentally tanks the business because as long as they make a profit overall they can just drop the husk that’s left at the end and move onto another business they can bleed dry.

It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!

The unwashed masses (like myself) will eventually change Lemmy. I don’t think it will ruin it completely because the best part about having hundreds of millions of lemmings is the niche communities.

The main instances and communities are going to get shot to hell though. I’ve accepted that.

What?

Hell is the most scientific of all locations.

Hail science!!!

I’ve just had premonitions of cars crashing into each other in car parks when the ‘self parking’ mode is hacked…

This has to be stopped. Just look at what Napster did to the music industry. That’s right, there used to be a music industry and now it’s just…gone. No more music, no more money to be made in music. Don’t let these evil streaming services do the same to poor defenceless Hollywood, bastion of women’s rights!

Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil, Raytheon, Boeing, Rio Tinto, BHP, Nestle.

Nope Apple is the worst.

Sometimes Lemmy has way too much of a bias towards tech for its own good…

Somebody call a Bondulance

It’s generous to call influencers human.

Start a club then.

Call it ‘Social walking in the park’

The purpose is to make new friends and get to know other students. It’s free and you regularly meet a a local park at XX day at YY time to walk around together before getting an optional lunch/brunch/afternoon tea etc.

You’re at uni?

You’re telling me there are no clubs you can join?

You’re right we can’t.

What we can do though is make educated guesses about the biological structure required to support the thing we call consciousness I.e. a brain.

A mollusc does not have a brain so it’s reasonable to conclude it is not conscious in the same way as humans.

Now if you’d like to argue that the biological structures contained in a mollusc still are capable of containing a complex consciousness I’d be interested to understand that hypothesis and your evidence.

I implore you to prove animals have a rich inner world filled with emotions as you’re describing.

Observing behaviour that you think is ‘inner life’ is not satisfactory evidence to prove that the fish have a level of cognition required to experience complex emotions.

To suggest that a mollusc has an ‘inner life’ is unscientific and goes against our current understanding of living organisms.

People tend to way over anthropomorphise animals.

Of all the cringiest things to ever happen on the internet this is one video I just can’t ever rewatch.

Just the most cringe in one video.

What I learnt is that I’m bad at that task.

Yeah. Don’t use chrome and use Firefox. Then install the Adblock extension on Firefox.

Stop supporting google by using their browser.

Yeah it’s the girls fault!!!

How could they be so silly?

Jesus people live sad lives if a bit of irrelevant gossip is what passes for entertainment nowadays.

This is basically equivalent to evidence found in the bible so it probably counts.

Slight clarification, he was the Deputy Premier of NSW, that’s the equivalent to a deputy Governor.
