That's kinda my take, too. Some acts are so awful that they are deserving of death, but there is not one governing entity that does or could exist that I would trust with deciding what amount of proof is sufficient for meeting out that punishment. You can release an exonerated inmate from a life sentence, but you can't un-dead someone.

The fascists of yesteryear were veterans of the first world war, people who, for as monsterous as they were, at least understood what it meant to lay down their life for something. One of the greatest advantages in our corner is that today's fascists were not molded in the trenches. They all have the softest hands.

He also said, and I quote, "Enjoy what may be your last merry Christmas." The absolute villain.

Usually they're paired with some random elements to keep it from getting stale. Minecraft's hardcore mode is one of the more popular roguelikes currently because no world or playthrough is the same.

Yeah that'd be a good example. Enter the Gungeon also springs to mind.

The man's car was out of control. Someone fucked up but it wasn't him. I'm not particularly fond of religion myself, but far as this guy knew his options were to sit there and panic with his hands clasped or his hands in his lap.

And you're right to be cautious. If I didn't live here I wouldn't visit here either. Shit sucks.

You got that right. A lot of the businesses here are hurting.

Good guess but no. This was in Whatcom County.

Furthermore, they're not especially targeting people with the means or will to shoot someone. They're not going after violent criminals; they're raiding home depot parking lots and running station wagons off the road.

Parasites serve a vital role in their ecosystem. These people are villains.

That feels like a problem. "Law enforcement" shouldn't be dressed the same as some rando who likes tartan.

We empathize. We coalesce everything we do, see, and are and sieve it through our experience as a person among people in a world that is everything, an experience that a computer can never understand because it eludes understanding and lives in the hazy realm of feeling. People chase that feeling, that truer world we as humans can only glimpse but AI is blind to, and bring ourselves ever closer to reaching it. We never quite reach it, and that is a beautiful thing. It's what makes art art.

Nah I think people understand what you're getting at, but the issue with the common "brain as computer" comparison is that brains and computers are good at different things. If I want to find a square root of a four digit number, I go to a computer. If I want to read a book that makes me nostalgic for a time I never lived in, I go to a human writer. Calling what artists do "receiving inputs", while not strictly untrue, is as reductive as it gets. We do not receive n and produce n+5. 1/2
