But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

  • If you watch anime - or used to watch anime...

  • Wow! Thank you so much for taking your time and sharing your point or view! No need to apologize!

    My takeaway is, that, for now, that one volume of .hack shall stay buried in my cellar. 😅

  • What's your backup plan if AI takes your job?

    Jump

  • Prison guard, street musician, postperson, caregiver

  • Do you ask AI for help in formulating questions to post to Ask Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I don't, but some posts look AI as f*ck, so I have been asking myself the same question.

  • I guess I could go as far as to say, that it's a pragmatic oversimplification for the masses and for our criminal justice system.

  • I don't remember saying that my distinction between evil people versus harmful deeds has anything to do with my stance on punitive consequences. We have to work together to protect each other from people that would harm us, whether that is through correctional programs with no incarceration or locking them up for the rest of their lives. Justice and punishment is not black and white. I wish for both of those evildoers to drop dead immediately. But that doesn't change my opinion on how detrimental to society I believe labeling people as "evil" is. Our actions define whether we are "good" or "evil". There is no inherent morality. We should punish people for their harmful actions, not for whatever made-up imaginary persona we label them as.

  • I love how memes, at this point, are a means to process our cyber anxiety.

  • I want to agree. I really do. But labeling people as evil is detrimental to the evolution of humanity, because it fosters hatred. My point of view is that there are malicious actions, not evil people.

  • "Sometimes" is an understatement, but perhaps you were being ironic? These lighter sentences are not coincidences but systematic oppression.

  • Thanks! I couldn't take how incompetent people they started hiring, so I moved on to being a parole officer instead. Better pay, slightly less vile crimes, office hours.

  • That's quite respectful of you. I'm not in any shape to have such a discussion right now anyway.

  • Yeah, he should've had life time without possibility for parole.

  • That case is a bottomless pit of vileness. Don't try to understand it. Unless you want to, in which case I digress.

  • There is no such thing as evil. With that out of the way:

    As a correctional officer, I cared for inmates that had done things that come pretty close to what Elisabeth Fritzl had to endure.

  • What's your favourite song lyrics?

    Jump

  • Invidious | YouTube

    And on a more serious note, really the whole song, but here's the refrain, with my amateur translation.

    世界で一つの　輝く光になれ 私でいい 私を信じてゆくのさ 遠回りしても　守るべき道を行け 私でいい 私の歩幅で生きてくのさ

    Become a shining light in this world I'm good enough I'm going to start believing in myself Walk the way that I know I should stay true to, even if it takes me on detours I'm good enough I'm going to start living with my pace

    Beautiful, by Superfly

    I've been living with recidivating depression for a few years now and this song helps.

  • What's something that is more difficult than it seems?

    Jump

  • Being happy. Living. Staying alive. Also, networking. I'm pretty good at computers, being able to build computers and compiling my own Linux based OS, but networking is witchcraft on another level. Still love it though

    [Politics] We hanged and beheaded the decadent Bourbon dynasty. Why don't we overthrow the Epstein elite the same way?

    Jump

  • Yes. And inaction is compliance. I recall now, that this is why I left politics years ago: I'm too comfortable, too lazy, not affected enough to care. The double standard within me is... infuriating.

    Jump

  • I see your point, just like the other gentleperson's with the same rhetoric, but this just paves the way for apologetic capitulation. We need to address the immediate evil. What happens thereafter is another topic entirely.

  • Very good! I'm merely lamenting my own inaction.
