See, if it was called “Epic Furry” instead, everyone in Iran would be a fox by now.

I’ve seen it many times at my job… People go to the bathroom (number 2, by the way!!!) and just walk straight out of the door. Not even water, certainly no soap, just walk out of the bathroom. It’s genuinely disturbing… Oh well!

One of my favourite anime characters of all time is named Remon :D She washes her hands, I’m sure…

I refuse to associate with hand non-washers… Perchance, hermitage.

Who the fuck is “we”!?

Oh, it’s supposed to look like a man with a beard?! What’s the 3rd reference? I guess it kind of looks like the yin and yang symbol, but I doubt that’s it.

I realise the icon is a fox, but from a distance it looks like a man with a beard…

We just used our regular names!

Hyperconsumerism is a plague.

Happiness isn’t in the next console, or a better computer, or having all the music at your fingertips, al the knowledge you could ever want at the click of a button, food from anywhere at any time, commodities and convenience without a second-thought.

Happiness is being safe and healthy, surrounded by people you love in harmony with each other and the environment. Happiness is having the time and the means to pursue your interests, time to relax and take it slow, time to think.

I’m not sure we need saving, frankly. While there is much wrong, I think much of it is of our own making, and we could all pursue happiness instead, and I think there are ways to achieve it.

Minimalism… That’s a bit of a nebulous term. I think it’s easy to see the err of this culture obsessed with having it all and swing the whole other way, rejecting anything that can’t be thoroughly justified. There could be a balance. I’m not sure it’s minimalism that can save us, though yes, it does decrease dependency on much of the system. If you reject the system, as you probably should, then I suppose there’s some merit to that. I’m not sure. Just my thoughts.

Well, surely it’s not sarcasm, right? If it is sarcasm, then the AI really can use sarcasm, so being sarcastic about that would be silly?

It’s how it goes pretty much every time someone claims any LLM is sentient.

Haven’t even read the post, but I assume it’s this:

XD The downvotes are hilarious.

Depends on the severity of the emergencies.

Ah, I see! Yes, from my cursory look I figured it wasn’t decentralised, but it’s not even open-source and the trackers… I don’t know much about trackers at all, not sure how harmless those might be or if they’re for anonymised analytics, for example. Frankly, the simple fact it has ads (and I assume there’s no easy way to remove them like with ReVanced for YT) is a deal-breaker. Everything else is just piss on the shit sandwich.

Thanks for the update!

Ah alright then.

I read about that on Wikipedia. It said that it’s kinda like Instagram and Twitter.

I mean, I get the rejection of TikTok, at least… Seems like an odd choice for a refuge, but whatever. Have you tried it out yet?

Well, I’ve never tried it, but I don’t really see the point of it.

There’s already Mastodon or any other number of similar services. There’s Pixelfed and any other number of similar services. Lemmy, Piefed… What does UpScrolled do for me?

Seemingly, nothing. I don’t care.

Yeah… I don’t have much experience with human meat, sorry. Good luck, though!

Sure, but you can lick or bite yourself to satisfy that, I guess… As long as you don’t bite too hard.
