You could apply the filter to messages, too. Perhaps with "... and here's 99+ more that don't quite meet your filters" glimpse of what you can get if you compromise a bit.

In this case Ukraine is choosing between national suicide now as promised by Putin, and maybe national suicide later as projected by the Western dissident right. An easy choice if I do say so myself.

They also aren't liberal, so they're allowed to take measures that will ensure the cohesion of Russian culture, and the culture of it's constituting provinces, or will promote some reasonable ethnogenesis.

"Allowed" doesn't mean "will", and indeed there is a sizable opinion in the memeplex that Russia is the same old globohomo in trad clothing. Muslims certainly don't stay in Muslim provinces, they do move into cities and, as the saying goes, taking jerbs.

Fair. I'll specify: a business willing to wait 18 years for its returns in an area where returns aren't guaranteed and governed pretty much only by soil quality, rains and time; and also that area being social media???

Was there ever a business willing to wait ~18 years for its returns?

"Consciousness is a delusion" seems to be an oxymoron to me. If it is, then who is being deceived?

Or rather: the parasite is not on us, but on the egregore we call "self-perpetuating stable society". Not even a parasite, really, but rather a failure of a few super-human memetic organs.

Aesthetically I prefer cats. Biologically I'm allergic to cats (and allegedly anti-allergic sphinx cats are ugly, the furriness is the whole point of a cat). Preferentially, I don't want to nurture and care for anyone who will never learn to remove their own shit or hold up their end of a conversation.

Do you apply that kind of thinking to all areas of life, including yours? That your enemies are blameless if they carry out the threats you did not submit to?

If we suppose that the universe hadn't existed at some point, what makes us think that only one universe could have ever existed?

I recall playing EDH at a local game store once. I don't recall if it was advertised as a competitive session. I brought a store-bought EDH deck. Another guy brought some Teferi blink deck that exiled all of my permanents (including lands) by turn 4-5 or so. I didn't get to actually play a whole lot.

In a duel game, you lose and move on, but getting knocked out (or effectively knocked out) of an EDH game that is supposed to last much longer appears to be much less interesting. If you watched a football game where one guy with super-long arms herds the entire opponent team in the corner while his teammates walk the ball through the goal repeatedly, you probably wouldn't want to watch that, let alone play.

but it doesn’t explain why a life-permitting one exists.

If it's possible at all for it to exist, why wouldn't it exist at some point in nonspace-nontime? It is infinitely improbable to choose a random point on an infinite plane and hit the point (0; 0) exactly, yet that point exists.

Your taste in prompts grows even more inexplicable, Executor.

I guess there is always someone grognardier - last time I checked (before playing), people were saying that about 2e in comparison to 3e.

I know pretty much nothing about 1e and it's hardly discussed in the discord. Did it have the paranoia combat feature/issue that allegedly plagued pre-errata 2e?

I just took a premade adventure and kind of raw dogged it. Perhaps you're approaching this with a mindset of being prepared for anything?

The 90 IQ Hamas recruit I'm imagining is not going to be moved by a dog rape story noticeably more than a regular rape story. They are both beyond the pale.

The explanation that best fits what I observe is that this story is intended for credulous Westerners primed to see Israel as a country uniquely evil even among the rest of warmongering nationalist states.

"It's a real outcome" != "a modal recruit's priority".

"Alright, there are approximately 0.1% odds I'll get captured, per year... They might sodomize me with a chair leg, but I can risk that if it's to defend my homeland. ... wait, what's that? They using DOGS now?! Absolutely no chance then!"

It works much better as atrocity porn to rile them up than to deter them.

"What the enemy does to prisoners" as a significant negative factor for enrollment is not how I model a typical recruit's mind at all. You don't enroll to get captured.

Much less the dog rape story is unlikely to marginally affect enrollment when compared to all the regular nightstick rape stories that are already there.

The way it's usually explained is that being outside the concept of linear time, there is no real "before the creation of the Universe".

waving the brush would be analogous to the movements for the fingers when we're talking about typing out a poem or essay or somesuch

I disagree, it applies just as well to typing the prompt. Why wouldn't it be? Both are processes that aren't really legible if you watch them without witnessing the result, with the result as its output.

Ultimately, what the AI outputs based on that result just doesn't interest me, empirically. It works as pure visual illustration/stimulation, sure. Art isn't really about that for me.

The prompt is where the creative decisionmaking is, as the poster above said. And no, the waving of the brush would be the analogy for the movements of fingers on the keyboard while typing the prompt.

Storytelling Exalted 2e for a bunch of friends for a few sessions now. (Not exactly a video game, but TTRPGs don't appear to be a common enough topic to warrant a subthread).

I can recommend jumping into a new setting as a DM. Even with pretty much no experience, it's been pretty fun so far, although I bungled a few things about the way a pre-written adventure should be ran, and will probably bungle more. The first thing one of my players did was to stuff a demon inside of a random peasant mook who was guarding him on behalf of the treacherous rich evil guy.

In this case the prompt is the real human creation and should ideally be posted before the picture.

I don't see how your example follows from labor theory of value. The man with the shovel had done the same work, faster. The man with an excavator would have done the same work even faster. But if he'd rented the excavator out instead, how is it obvious that he'd been the one to do the work, rather than the hired worker?

Is there an example of an acceptable insurrection that a host country wouldn't have every reason to shut down?
