The idea that the infinitely perfect Abrahamic God exists but you'd somehow be happier separated from God (and languishing in hell for all eternity) is so foreign to me as a theist that I have to assume you aren't taking the starting assumption seriously.

Atheists who deny the existence of God make far more sense than those who say they'd rather be in hell as a matter of principle.

I think you've proven my point as you're contradicting yourself.

And if God did exist, we think God is a total dick

The Abrahamic conception of God is of an infinitely perfect being who's attributes--viz., omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence, omnipresence-- are maximally unified in that one being. So to suppose that this God exists but then deny his omnibenevolence is a logical contradiction of the definition of the Abrahamic God. (This is akin to, for example, supposing that a square-circle exists.) If God does exist, but he isn't omnibenevolent, then this is no longer the Abrahamic God. Which is why I argued that you are not "taking the starting assumption seriously" in my earlier comment.

Right. We consider the existence of God to be nonsense, because any god that was omnibenevolent wouldn’t be such a piece of shit, yet here we are in reality. Your premise is faulty.

Yes, you are once again proving my point that you aren't taking the "starting assumption" (i.e. the existence of a perfect God) seriously. It's perfectly fine if your conception of God is of a terrible serial killer, I am not trying to convince you otherwise, but now we aren't talking about the same God.

This is why I name literally everything I save according to words I would use to search it.

This isn't exactly an answer, but ReNamer is a free tool that allows you to name batches of files. It's a pretty versatile tool that lets you do multiple things to the filename of different media types.

You mean introduce some level of automation? Because I already manually name the files according to keywords

Now they tell me!

and also I'm pretty tired

Reading Hegel will do that to you.

Your comment makes no mention of synthesis/antithesis. You also said "Absolute" instead of "Geist". Ergo, I assume, prima facie, given my extensive philosophical study through memes, that your position is extremely misguided. Es tut mir lied!

Lemmy is the best reddit alternative, but it isn't without its flaws.

Can't ride your dog across the desert. Believe me, I've tried

At what point is it just free labor lol

Creating original content is more arduous than I imagined. Reposts do better and are less emotionally involved.

You get in for free at some places if you go early enough... er, I mean, you are correct sir

Thundercat is a master at the base who really opened my eyes to their unappreciated percussive role in music.

Don't know wtf "LibDems: and "BlueMAGA" are. That said, there is an echochamber, but that applies to most of the internet nowadays.

balderdash9 OP , 3 months ago

This community complains a lot. No wonder content creators don't post here.

Clearly, other people found it amusing. If you didn't enjoy it, then it wasn't for you.

balderdash9 OP , 3 months ago

I'm not even the artist (this is from War and Peas). I just know from experience that criticism hits much harder when it's about something you personally created. It feels like Lemmy users complain a ton, so it's unsurprising that we're missing content creators.

Reminds me of that one scene in the movie Sorry To Bother You

trigger warning for explicit language

I believe it was the director's first major film. He clearly had a lot of ideas lol

balderdash9 , 1 month ago

Great ideas. Too bad our politicians don't listen to us.

Lemmy is an echo chamber too. Pro-Linux, anti-Google, pro-Socialism, anti-conservative. I'm still here because I happen to agree with the echo chamber, but let's not pretend that a diversity of ideas are allowed equal say on this platform.

You can tell someone has artistic chops when they're doing something that's successful, very intentional, and yet completely weird. I'm talking about the comic artist, not the kid inside the comic lol

Also let's not forget that Reddit has duration as an advantage. I can look back 10 years on a tv show that is no longer airing and there will still be discussion threads from when it came out. That's literally impossible to manufacture overnight, so Reddit has a huge edge.
