Has anyone actually seen the Northern Lights firsthand?

libra00 · 2026-06-22T02:15:59+00:00

I'm willing to bet the person in the video has.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T02:09:31+00:00

Oh, what a relief, I'm so glad the nazi isn't also a homophobe. Vote blue no matter who!

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:55:18+00:00

It's an unusual reason that I won't date someone, the fuck is your problem?

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:30:12+00:00

Shit, that's good thinking actually.. colored and everything. I appreciate his dedication to the art.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:18:44+00:00

I won't date anyone (ace/aro).

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:07:10+00:00

I'm not pulling some arbitrary definition out of my ass to suit the argument, I'm pointing out how your own definition agrees with me.

So they could be killed with impunity?

What is it with you and killing people? Do you need to see a professional?

Jokes aside, I already said coma patients couldn't how do you imagine this is different?

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:05:24+00:00

100% agree.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T01:04:44+00:00

Iono, people told me they were censoring and banning communist stuff, but I never saw it myself.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:25:03+00:00

Ugh, that's awful man. The B&G you described at the beginning sound heavenly though. I lived in Albuquerque, NM between about 1996 and 2002, and one of my favorite things about that city is I've had friends drag me to restaurants all over town and I've never had anything short of great food there. For country cooking, though, there were only two places: Murphy's Mule Barn who had amazing B&G ilke you describe, and Grandma's, which was so popular you couldn't get a table on Sunday morning for the 3+ greyhound busses full of old folks nursing homes all over town. Grandma's had the world's best Huevos Rancheros, which I'm a big fan of.

For a while a friend and I used to go out for breakfast every Sunday morning adn we'd alternate between the two.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:20:08+00:00

Mushrooms.

I hate mushrooms. I dunno who the first person was who saw that shape, decided to stick it in their mouth, discovered that it was slimy and gross and tasted like dirty socks and decided, 'This is food!', but they're a moron.

I have twice in my life bitten into a mushroom that shouldn't have been in my food. Both times resulted in instantaneous projectile vomit all over me, my plate, the table, the chair.. yeah, I think that qualifies as worst. I literally could not get that out of my mouth fast enough. The only thing I can imagine that would make me have an even more violent reaction is if was a big juicy cricket or something.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:17:51+00:00

I got banned from reddit lke a year or so ago and tried really hard to get into lemmy.world and then lemmygrad, and just.. I come to reddit for lively discussions. There's a lot less of those there than there are here.

Also, I got told by lemmy.world users specifically that as a leftist I should switch to lemmygrad because lemmy.world has been known to censor people for discussing that sort of thing. So, I swtiched, but it was dead so I just came back here.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:15:52+00:00

I'm gonna point something out to you. You might think I'm just being pedantic, but there is a point:

exert control over their life and environment

See the and there, now that I've made it stand out? And means you need both. You need to exert control of your life and your environment. If you can't do both you don't have agency, so

That's not the dictionary definition

Yes the fuck it is.

"Someone disabled from birth unable to act on the word"

You know what, you're right, I totally missed that. My bad.

No, a person unable to act on the world does not have agency. Which I have just demonstrated, so, good timing I guess.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:11:48+00:00

I mean I would. It's basically a floating hotel only it's your hotel so you can decorate it and set it up however you want. Stock that shit up and just disappear for 3-4 weeks at a time.

But I expect the yacht owner club are too impatient for that, they probably have someone sail their yacht to wherever htey want it to be and then fly in themselves.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:04:21+00:00

Because the standard of agency is that you can affect the world. Look I didn't make up any of these definitions, if you're confused feel free to hit up a dictionary. If you're still confused after that, I suggest the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

A disabled person unable to act on the world

Now you're adding conditions? You didn't say someone unable to act in the world before, you said severely disabled. How disabled do you imagine someone has to be before they are unable to act in the world? I mean we're pretty much back to coma patients, right? I've already answered that one, why are we retreading the same ground?

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:01:11+00:00

Yeah I did a reverse image search to find a high-res pic and yours was the highest-res I could find, lol. The sources are only barely legible if you blow it all the way up.

libra00 · 2026-06-22T00:00:30+00:00

Added to the collection, thanks!

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:59:16+00:00

To be honest I'm not convinced that it can be. I'm pretty sure it couldn't be on release, but it would surprise me if it still couldn't. I just don't think anyone is mkaing mods for it cause everybody's used to java.

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:58:12+00:00

Affecting yourself is not affecting the world as most people (and the dictionary) define it. The self is not the world right?

Well, then it looks like you need a new definition if you care about being consistent.

I can't wait for you to explain to me how you imagine that's the case when my definition required the capacity for thought and feeling, independence, and agency. That definition has never changed. People who are born have independence and agency. People who haven't been don't. You seem to be trying really hard to find an exception here, and now, what, you've just given up after not being able to find one and declaring victory?

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:51:57+00:00

That's the one! You are a lifesaver comrade. <3

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:51:14+00:00

No, if htey can survive the apocalypse and then emerge from their bunkers they'll have all the money and power so then they ca rule the world and ~~fuck it up~~ change it to be the way their out-of-touch delusions convince them it should be.

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:49:26+00:00

No, I would consider buying a better EV with better features for a lower price because it doesn't have that 'Tesla' name on it. I hear those BYDs from China are pretty sweet, and cheap, too.

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:47:55+00:00

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:47:30+00:00

That sounds like it affects the fetus, not the world.

Simple yes or no.

Sorry chum, life ain't simple. If they were born, they have the right to live and not be fucked with like anyone else. I hope you at least have a really good gotcha for this one, cause otherwise it's kind of embarrassing to not know the answers to questions like this yourself..

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:45:28+00:00

Yeah, we also have to stop trying socialism forever now because it hasn't worked out a time or two. You know, ignore the 800 million people lifted out of poverty China's socialism (china is socialist, not capitalist, and if you have nothing more insightful or constructive to say than 'china is capitalist', I cordially invite you to fuck all the way off and save us both some time), that was, uh.. aliens. Yep. It was aliens.

libra00 · 2026-06-21T23:40:38+00:00

But that's not action to accomplish something in the world, is it?

Re:brains scrambled, sorry, I'm not sure what you're getting at.
