@celli i hope you feel better soon ![]()
@Lady didnt your RSS reader find the content before our wifi did tho?
@octothorpecast but do the pastries have to be genre?
food mention, AI
@twistylittlepassages it does raise some questions about what keyboard they’re using though—w and n aren’t exactly nearby on standard qwerty…
@gaditb i dont know, using the talking to people website for talking to people seems pretty reasonable to me
@platypus oh wow what a cool quilt!
@Lady @wallhackio @coriander if your *only* problem with AI was copyright infringement i guess that would kind of make sense but tbh copyright infringement is like,
fifth on my list of problems with AI
and also singing karaoke isn’t copyright infringement wtf
@jordan someone tries to figure out a loophole for this (reporting some material was destroyed by/survived a notable historic event?) but it doesn’t work because the materials scientists don’t care about the broader implications
@rowyn very “hm” about his majesty apparently expecting this reception (or well maybe not exactly this, but Zhenshay wanting nothing to do with them) and going ahead with the whole plan anyway
Are they just wildly disrespectful of their ex fiances boundaries? using Zhenshay and their lack of interest as a way to get out of being married to some other worse prospect? like how when you’re on unemployment sometimes there’s no jobs that look good but you still have to submit at least one application a week, so you pick a place that definitely isn’t going to call you back
@wallhackio by a whole year
@rowyn i’m enjoying them as characters but i also am feeling a little bad for Zhenshay right now…
@MDZSKinkPromptBot do we think shy character is lqr
@interstar @pho4cexa this would be more compelling if the free software movement was not full of people who love to talk about how much they hate me
@gaditb @aschmitz @wallhackio @Lady i dont think those are burnt enough to contain no nutritional content even if they are arguably burnt enough to be rendered unpalatable
@aschmitz @Lady @gaditb @wallhackio foodstuffs is not necessarily synonymous with food
(and i was highlighting in that quote specifically the fact that its described as a thing which makes foods, which is unnecessarily circuitous if you consider it itself to food, thus implicitly indicating it is not one)
@gaditb @wallhackio @aschmitz @Lady i think this is a strong argument for cultural norms on something being non-food creating the experience of unpalatability, but i am not as confident in the reverse case, where unpalatability is the sole determiner of non-food-ness
like, i had a bad case of autistic texture issues as a kid, to the point where certain foods would make me gag which seems like the literal definition of unpalatable, but it never would have occurred to me to deem them non-food, merely inedible
i also feel like there are some interesting case studies to consider in the field of mushroom foraging but i am not knowledgeable enough to really speak to the norms there
@gaditb @wallhackio @Lady @aschmitz despite that, wikipedia does not describe flour as a food on its wikipedia page: «Flour is a powder used to make many different foods, including baked goods, as well as thickening dishes.»
@platypus have you read RE: Thesis defense issue? https://archiveofourown.org/works/28299630
@aschmitz @gaditb @wallhackio @Lady i guess this does also raise the related question about whether the kosher status of the thing in question makes it food / not food or merely permissible / impermissible food which i believe is a distinction made about different types of edible locusts
