Very Kantian of you

This is an interesting piece on how Kantian ethics can be applied to your actions, but there are pitfalls in applying your ethical evaluations to the actions of others

Did you know that cashews come from a fruit?

Do you have a ‘hide read’ setting enabled?

As they say on 4chan, this post is Fadeke and Adegbuyi

I think you can nap. As evidence I present the scene where Rita and Larry go to the morgue to identify Phil’s body. This suggests that the time loop continues the day beyond Phil-specific events (like death, and naps)

Australian xmas is a mishmash, you take cold traditions and make them warm, the food is similar but different, outdoor sports or swimming are common, it’s easy to get around

For my money breakie and presents with one family then lunch with another, prawns from the barbie, roast ham served cold with salad, beers by the pool and backyard cricket make for a distinctly Australian xmas

If that’s just a Winter Xmas to people from the Northern Hemisphere I’d be surprised

I’m going to a Christmas in July party in Australia tonight!

In Australia you have Xmas in July because it’s an excuse to have a party. It’s understood not to be like real Xmas though, more a themed party.

As an Aussie I would not set out to have Xmas in July in the Northern Hemisphere specifically because I wanted a hot Xmas, but living there you might do it to show off Australian Xmas customs to locals.

We didn’t have a video player, but our friends had a Looney Tunes VHS that included rabbit season / duck season, the Bugs Bunny opera, left turn at Albuquerque, and Duck Dodgers

We must have watched it over 100 times

The headline is not only bait but also wrong

At best, they could claim that AI-generated images are fueled by societal associations of negative attributes with obesity

And surely the use of the word phobia in an academic context should be more rigorous

The reason I would call reddit social media is that I don’t agree with any of those rules

The closest I would agree with is 2, and not based on lack of anonymity but instead on persistence of identity, and that being core to the experience

I was part of subreddits where users knew each other as distinct personalities, and could converse across different threads across time, and occasionally IRL from various meetups

When a website doesn’t have a lively and persistent ‘local’ community (maybe geographic, maybe subject etc) it can’t really be social

I look forward to the crossover moth/bean/saddam memes

For some reason I don’t count youtube as social media - If I went to reddit and read comments without voting that would count, but youtube is just a video delivery platform (and I don’t read the comments). Not sure if that’s a real distinction I can make

Hackernews is a link-based message board, Ars is a article-based website

Both used to be just tech, but have started being a bit more general or tech-adjacent

Ars has specialist professional journalists, Hackernews links heavily favour tech industry professionals and deep dives

Another moth post?

Lemmy + Hackernews + Arstechnica

What more is there to know?

As a technology article this is interesting

Not sure why they feel qualified to make statements like this:

“When ineffective policy results in a large chunk of the populace generationally living in yurts on the outskirts of urban areas, it’s clear that there is failure.”
