  • Talking politics somehow hits different when it’s completely real 😭

    Also there are so many layers - there’s reality, what you know of reality (e.g. am I personally an economics expert?), the perception of reality, plus that of other people, and whether you feel in any given moment like being trolled by edgelords on the internet for daring to speak your truth (Lemmy can be very supportive, so long as you agree 100% with the prevailing hivemind viewpoint present in any given community).

    Also there’s a utility aspect: what good does talking do, these days? Here I am not arguing that in the reality dimension but rather the perception one, i.e. people lose hope.

    And overall, people get overwhelmed by it all, because it is just so much. Case in point: 🌽.

    It - we shouldn’t think of it as “she” - was basically liquid metal on top of a metal endoskeleton, controlled by a (fictional ofc) true AGI. So inside the movie, all of that liquid is there to do with as it pleased.

    Then the film makers surely did whatever was most cost-effective to engender that illusory effect:-).












  • I think there’s a way to make that happen. Sorry I don’t use apps, I just played around with it in the past, but I recall not liking it until someone told me how to make the images larger - buried VERY deep in the customizations somewhere - and then afterwards it became my favorite app (except I don’t actually use apps, but IF I did, it would be Voyager. Or Thunder. And with full sized images that don’t cut parts out.)
