@lemmy.worldWhen I say the floor is comfier I mean it, no mattress or anything, and at most I use the support of a pillow or two. I live in an area where it's consistently hot, where it really only drops below room temperature in the winter, so for a good majority of the year so falling asleep is difficult. The hot weather makes couches and blankets pick up heat too easily. Even if I lived in a cooler area I would still detest beds and couches since I tend to find soft surfaces to be rather unpleasant. On the other hand, the floor, which usually carpet, usually has a hard surface with a consistent temperature that makes it enjoyable to rest on. I like hard wood floors too since the cold feeling is nice I find to be pretty refreshing, but not in a thirsty kind of way if that makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, there are problems with it, both in the process that modern AI uses as well as the sources that it draws from, however, as of right now ai is just a tool like auto-tune or photoshop.
Even though it will change the media formats that it is attached to, it will not supplant them within the next 5 to 10 years, it will simply transform them.
Community college ostensibly for people who don't have a good track record from High School, but is often advertised as the cheap, local option for people who don't want to feel bad about having to go.
I did in fact try community college and it's really just high school material with smaller text. I even took it in parallel with an edX equivalent and the material wasn't even close to each other. The idea that CC is suppose to replace the first 2 years at a real college is terrifying and reinforces how much of the professional word is theater.
If you do any number of years at a community college, you should be able to apply as a freshman to a real college if you want.

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.
Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.
Queen the band sucks. I don't get why anyone likes them. Aside from Bohemian Rhapsody, their songs are bland and fall short. Their rock is dry. And the opera-style singing is cringe. Examples:
Another One Bites the Dust
We Will Rock You
We Are the Champions
Bicycle Race
Somebody to Love
I am happy for the band and their success. I admire Freddie Mercury's unapologetic flamboyance. The dude kept it real. But, I just can't like the music.
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. I understand we all have different taste and respect everyone's freedom to like and enjoy what they want. I'm not trying to insult anyone for their taste, but merely expressing my own in a somewhat humorous attempt.
I would say atleast 80% of the time because there are people who are legitimately only saying things as a joke. But people (friends and family) will say the most absurd thing about you or play the worst prank on you, and say: “it was just a joke, it was just a prank.” Knowing good and well it wasn’t something to joke about. And here’s the other thing, jokes are supposed to be funny. Most people don’t get the concept of a joke. It’s not always that I don’t have a sense of humor. You just don’t have humor AT ALL.
It tries so hard to be deep and shocking, but it completely falls flat. And Gainsbourg's acting is awful in all of them.
It is no secret that prolonged exposure to loud sound is highly damaging to our hearing. Listening to loud music is one of the common factors leading to degraded hearing ability and tinnitus, and is deeply unhealthy.
At the same time, such level of noise negatively impacts the quality of sound perception, which degrades the musical side of the musical performance.
In what seems to be the echoes of the so-called "loudness war", bands still stick to the idea that "the louder you blast it - the better". But it's not true. There are many other ways to energize the crowd without causing them sound damage, and I'd love to see more of those, instead of them trying to be the loudest ever.
I’m pretty sure I’m in the small minority here but I personally feel like apologies are a better fit for accidents and miscommunications. If you steal from someone, cheat on someone, intentionally harm someone, etc. saying sorry doesn’t do much for me because if you were sorry, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place. I appreciate the apology, but that doesn’t move me. Trust is always regained through actions, not words. Perhaps you could argue that a person has a “change of heart.” Maybe that might make the apology more valid. But idk
