I think we would be better off forging human connections with those around us than trying to make those connections with the remnants of those long passed.
The bible is also a rough example, because its been modified and translated over the last 2000 years. I’d argue there isn’t much connection to those who originally wrote it, and I don’t think the intent of religion is human connection anyways.
Books are important because of their human connection. If there is none left to have then its functionally worthless.
I think its a bit egocentric to think our thoughts will be important forever
That’s how life works, people come and go. We can’t remember every single person that’s ever lived forever, but people can have keepsakes of those important to them in their lives.
Its not sad that more people didnt get to make that specific connection, because there are countless opportunities to connect with people now.
Doss everyone need a copy of tabletop simulator?
Presumably everyone who would have a personal connection to these destroyed books, already has one.
I dont think AI companies are stealing peoples personal collections while they sleep.
Just to be clear though, fuck AI and those involved.
The other shelters are already full, that’s why they take in so many animals. They are the last stop.
Tell me more about this “emulator keychain” please!
Great lesson on follow-through.
Can you repair it if it breaks?
The squirtle tattoo your sister has doesn’t qualify as meaningless to me. Truly meaningless tattoos would qualify as stupid to me, but it also wouldn’t bother me much. In the grand scheme of things, tattoos are pretty harmless so its hard to get worked up against them.
Counter point: many people get random tattoos that surely carry no meaning. Some tattoo parlors have quarter prize machines, where you get whatever tattoo comes out of it.
Plenty of people get tattoos without any thought towards the consequences. Thats why tattoo cover ups and removals are also a thing.
I think he achieved a lot, and made a huge difference to many people. He can’t change the whole world, but naking a personal sacrifice to bring abuse to light is a good thing.
I sometimes make jokes about Nazis fleeing to Argentina but I really dont know much about the country’s culture.
The story says this happened in Argentina.
Income was supposed to be a metric of usefulness, but it no longer is because the metric itself has become the goal. Now, its perfectly normal to say things like: “If you just ignore your moral issues and work hard, you could be rich!”.
I think you might be missing the point of the complaint in this post a slight bit.
I mostly mean before college. There is definitely a path for american soccer players, but its not in America like you say. World class players still “retire” and then go play in America, which says a lot.
American athletes generally are multi-sport players when younger, and tend to follow the best money. The players who have the best chance at being star soccer players simply end up playing football or basketball. The sport being less popular than at least 4 other sports in America is a huge problem for developing homegrown talent for the national team.
Referees can call penalty kicks, which are usually an almost guaranteed goal. They can also kick players out of the game, putting the non-american team at a player disadvantage.
You must work in HR.
He’s rich. He produced tron so he got to say he was the lead in it. Rich people suck.
