  • My take on reading the bible at 7yo:

    God is an absolute bully and spiteful entity. I don’t understand why people love him so much.

    Jesus seems is so wise and cool. I don’t understand why people hate him so much.

    I already know about Santa, you don’t have to pretend this is not a fairytale for me. Do adults think i am stupid?



  • Adults are just bigger children who:

    • Peer pressured themselves into stop playing. (optional)

    • Know when it’s appropriate to be silly or have to act serious. (Recommended)

    • Understand the concept of consent. (Should be mandatory but somehow isn’t)

    Am i glad video games and lego have gotten normalised for adults at least.












  • Can you give me some channel recommendations cause my main struggle is that I don’t branch out.

    The few channels I do follow I have for followed for years. Veritasium, Steve Mold, Kurtzegesagt.

    Some of those might have partreon/flowplane but that’s to rich for my blood.

    Especially good tech/science oriented channels i’d love to know whats out there but I don’t want to follow algorithm recommendations.


  • That’s a bit quick to start shooting people with a ban don’t you think?

    I thought they where just trying to be funny.

    I have the option enabled where I can see how often i up/down voted specific users and I have been positively suprised on the amount of times i encounter people who I have disagreed with, in agreement on different topics.

    Ok so first, congrats on your archievement!!

    I am involved with very similar things, writting scripts to yt-dlp the last good content creators to my jellyfin server and using a custom invidious setup. (Aided by claude).

    I also sympathise with your vote remove scripts, I am altering websites to my own preference similarly.

    I was going to talk about how invidious is still not true freedom from YouTube, just its crap website.

    But then you never mentioned invidious in your actual comment? How does your daily setup actually look. What do you do with content that Is still exclusively YouTube?

    And a big point of critique, that bold end quote, its a hyper common AI structure statement of “it’s not this, - it’s that” ai does it all the bloody time, it’s cringe and makes me feel sick. Ai is horrible at this kind of rallying message.


  • I have been doing a study into Diogenes as being a original (modern) anarchist and wether some of his teachings survived to inspire it.

    What I found is that stoics included a concept of fate “all is as it should be”

    This idea attracted Roman aristocracy who wrote about virtue and simple life while owning multiple villas.

    What bothers me the most about this. What/How do “we from the present” know about stoicism/cynicism and other potential branches… because of ancient writings that survived.

    Writing was expensive, even the little We know about other branches, its almost all viewed from the perception of the stoic Roman elite.

    Even Diogenes writings are gone, what we know about him comes from a gossip collector, a satirist and from rich stoics implementing some sanitised actual cynicism.
