dipshit, in And Tigger Too - Danby Draws Comics

Disney’s copyright goes harder than it ever should’ve in the first place.

MrScottyTay, (edited )

It’s got nothing to do with Disney (other than them having changed the laws overall), it’s to do with the original books. The first book is in the public domain, but the second book which introduced tigger, is not yet.

dipshit,

Yeah. 35 70 70+?! years after the creator’s death. That extension brought to you by the Disney company.

hemko,

Yeah it has everything to do with the copyright bullshit Disney has been lobbying pas century or so

Haagel, in More Parmesan? - Existential Comics

If the rationalist deduces what is logical based on their empirical experience then their reasoning is flawed. We have to accept the axiomatic truth that our senses are limited and cannot account for an absolute truth.

To separate valid perceptions from invalid ones, a person first must assume that the world can be known through the senses. They must also assume that the world is objectively real. These assumptions do not get along well with one other. To say the world is objectively real is to say it is independent of and indifferent to sense perception. Then what in the world can we know? We can know only the effects of the parmesan cheese upon our senses, not the cheese itself.

mimic_kry,

Rofl

You jest, but some actually do often confuse objective perception with objective reality.

Fact is though, the pursuit of a perfect vessel with which to observe reality is silly and impractical, so we make due with common shared characteristics.

In other words, the cheese itself is not cheese, we only perceive it as cheese

Haagel,

How would you define objective perception? If empiricism is equally problematic for all humans, then what could possibly qualify as objectivity in perception?

But mightn't we perceive it as cheese because it is cheese?

Also maybe not, but I don't think we can say it is not cheese.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

Ceci n’est pas fromage.

bunkyprewster, (edited )

The objectively real world may be separate from and indifferent to sense perception, but sense perception isn’t indifferent to the objective world. Sense perceptions are caused by an interaction of our sense organs and the world. Surely from repeated patterns of sense perception we can draw some correct inferences about the external world?

Haagel,

How can we be sure that those inferences are correct? Any appeal to empirical evidence would be circular reasoning.

WhiskyTangoFoxtrot,

And don’t call me Shirley.

Haagel,

Surely you can’t be serious

bunkyprewster,

“correct” is a heavy word there. Would reproducible and predictable suffice?

HopeOfTheGunblade,
@HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social avatar

We experience a world through the senses. We have no other way to experience any world that may or may not exist. The world experienced through the senses is apparently consistent, and if we do not deal with it, we have bad sensory experiences, or cease to be experienceable to each other entirely. So, since this is the only world we can interact with, and how we do so matters to our happiness, all we can do is take this world on its own terms and deal with it.

So how do we make that happen?

We can’t. It’s too late.

We spend our best years and energy working.

hunter2,

Work could and should be fulfilling. Unfortunately many modern jobs are just soul crushing and feel meaningless :-(

DoomsdaySprocket,

Don’t worry, even fulfilling and meaningful jobs can now be made to feel trite and soul-crushing through the power of bad management!

Soundhole, (edited ) in Banksy on Advertising [Zen Pencils]

Did Banksy draw or write this? What’s the connection?

EDIT: Here’s an explanation from the artist who drew the comic:

This quote was taken from Banksy’s 2004 book Cut It Out. Some of the passage was inspired/appropriated from an essay by artist Sean Tejaratchi. I rearranged the last couple of sentences for this comic.

deweydecibel,

You mean the banksy that just had a huge expo in Glasgow? That was advertised all over the place? That published a book this year that was actually copyrighted?

That Banksy?

smeg,

19 years and massive commercial success does that to you. I believe 2004 Banksy would describe that as being “a fucking sellout” or something.

Soundhole,

I suppose I do. That’s kind of disappointing.

theneverfox, in Oblivious
@theneverfox@pawb.social avatar

I remember an acquaintance was complaining about their computer turning off when they closed the lid, so I told her to hand it over and I’d see if I could fix it.

She said she’d buy me dinner to thank me, but my fix didn’t really fix the problem, I just made the computer not sleep when you closed it, and so I didn’t feel like it was worth a reward

She even asked a second time, it took me years to realize I unknowing (firmly) shot her down

@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

I always thank the first few enemies for their service. It’s through their sacrifice we learn.

The first one almost never gets to kill anyone. Except that goddamn goomba fuck that guy.

exocrinous,

In Deathloop you get to kill the first enemy lots of times

Transporter_Room_3,
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

I started playing that game, but I get nauseous when playing some games as I get older, and something about that game triggers it hard.

If I had a pc that could handle it, I’d try it on that. Usually I can disable motion blur and DoF things that make it worse. Camera Bob is super bad, but iirc deathloop didn’t have much.

I almost feel bad for that guy.

TheAlbatross, in Drinking in your 20s vs 30s [Sarah Anderson]

Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.

There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30

GBU_28,

Absolutely not gonna help lol

Kusimulkku,

I’ve learned that people who talk about these remedies or say they don’t get hangovers drink a lot less than I do

TheAlbatross, (edited )

Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you’re not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.

But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.

GBU_28,

Yeah I can drink Gatorade, have a full meal before bed, stop drinking an hour before bed, have an antacid, everything. If I’m “drunk” at any point of the night I am done for the next day

Gatorade for the win. My life changed when I discovered the healing power of gatorade.

I guess drinking 75+ is technically drinking 30+…

Pea666,

Some young dude caught me yawning at a Rammstein concert this summer. I told him I couldn’t help it because it was past 9.

Guildo,

How about drinking a lot of water, eating healthy and drinking less alcohol?

Pea666,

You don’t get it. I can get a hangover from looking at a beer the wrong way and I’m not even in my 40’s yet.

Seraph,
@Seraph@kbin.social avatar

Ah yes. Why didn't I think of simply drinking less alcohol to solve my hangover?

You are right about water though, hydration is all we're talking about when it comes to hangovers.

redballooon,

If you’re in your 20s

SmoothIsFast,

Not really, hangovers are literally dehydration mixed with poor mental and physical recovery if you fall asleep while drunk. Sober up before the nights end, get some hydration and food in you and you should be good to go. If you are going to sleep fucked up then nothing is gonna save you from a hangover whether you are young or not.

TheAlbatross, (edited )

Yeah, during a majority of the year. On the rare weekend where schedules align such that a buncha 30-somethings can get together and party?

Gatorade. Or Brodes.

Everything in moderation, my friend. Especially moderation.

Guildo,

If you are drinking during the majority of the year, I have bad news for u. You’re an alcoholic.

TheAlbatross,

Thanks for the concern, but I think you read my comment backwards.

lightnsfw,

What and just experience my emotions? No thank you.

Guildo, (edited )

I understand that concern.

ImFresh3x, (edited )

Sugar and alcohol just make everything harder for your liver. Just eat well before, and drink plenty of water before, between, and after alcohol. Drink a bit less alcohol when going out. Get to bed at a semi reasonable time. Skip the sugar water.

LesDeuxBonsYeux, in 10:30 it is 👍

To be fair, the skeleton didn’t make a xylophone sound when approaching, which is directly against industry best practices.

bionicjoey,

I really hope someone got fired for that blunder

Matumb0, in The quackening

Actually feeding bread or any other human food is not good for Ducks/Gease etc. So please do not feed them human food. It really makes me angry and shows only ignorance towards animals.

misterundercoat,

Stale Bread Man is the real villain here.

AlmightySnoo,
@AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world avatar

Plot twist: he gave them protein bread, that’s why they’re all buff

chepox,

Why is bread bad for ducks?

fitjazz,

It doesn’t really have any nutritional value for them but it fills them up so they don’t eat as much of the things that they should be eating to get proper nutrition.

nBodyProblem,

It’s just junk food for birds

Honestly I think the hate for bread is a little out of hand. Is it nutritious? No, but it’s not poison either. As long as it’s only a small part of their diet it’s not hurting anything.

I have a pet bird and 90% of her diet is nutritionally dense foods, but she still gets nibbles of bread and tortillas and so forth because small amounts of treats are perfectly fine. Same concept.

MilitantAtheist, (edited )

They can’t get any nutrients from it, they get full on the bread and starve, the high carb content can also give them deformed wings.

Feed them chopped up salad, corn, rice, grapes, or bird seed.

deweydecibel,

and shows only ignorance towards animals.

I mean…yeah? Most people are ignorant of things like this because they don’t know any better. I can’t be particularly upset at some random park goer that doesn’t know all the nutritional needs of a duck, because why would I assume that’s knowledge they would have? Feeding ducks bread is sort-of ingrained in the public mind, it will take education and time to undo that.

I’ve seen signs up at some parks lately that explain this to people, and that’s a start, but they need to be more widespread, and it will take time.

Rooskie91,

Millenium Falcon? That old bucket of bolts that needs constant maintenance even while flying? Hard pass. Now, a shiny new Corellian YT2000, on the other hand…

That bucket of bolts is the ship that made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. I don’t need this. Let’s go, Chewie.
