This is a brilliant description; the feeling OP has is probably on a way more abstract level than most of the comments here are thinking of.

And in the current era specific age limits are set.

I also actively remember seeing someone from the same “clan” as you in a random free for all or capture the flag game. Always a great feeling.

Interesting, would the muscles of someone living far away from the equator be stronger in general than compared to someone with the same genes / lifestyle on the equator?

I’m now very curious about what it was like before.

We need reasonable people like you in this chaos.

Do they contain more sugars by default perhaps?

Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?

“Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”

I love it. Less social interaction after a long day of work, I can keep my headphones on. It’s a bliss for me.

I need only three things:

1. Where is the hurricane
2. What path did it already take
3. How strong / fast is it

Bonus: Prediction path it will take.

I was thinking this would be very easy to visualize. From such important data sources you’d expect more.

For a moment I thought the comic was AI generated because of that. Exactly how many AI image generators make textual errors.

(and motorbikes for even longer distances, and ca… wait)

Aren’t there like cheat servers and non-cheat servers? Or is that a “gentleman’s agreement” that not everyone is playing fair with if you can’t fully block it because of mods etc?

Lunch is my favourite. Nothing beats a fine sandwich with cheese.

Plus a footrub… is quite something as a first. I mean, what happened to asking someone out for a drink for starters.

Maybe the girl at the party will get jealous.

Value of art is always in the eye of the beholder. If many people see the value, then it receives that from the public.

I would not say AI generated art has the same value as the Mona Lisa per se, quite the contrary. I’m only declaring both as a form of art.

Yes, in the same way a field of corn on a farm can be seen as art. We do not have full control over how it actually looks in the end, but it’s an expression by natural phenomena (sometimes guided or initiated by humans).

You could argue about the amount of free will required to create art. But in that case one could philosophically raise the question if humans even have free will, and if anything may be called art then at all.

I think if something is observed as art, it is by definition art. And perhaps everything that exists and is created could fit that description. But personally one of the more interesting types of art to me are where living beings are involved in the creation, while they’re actually thinking of creating art; and I think most discussions are about that concrete level.

I’d say that open for discussion. Even taking a dump can be seen from the perspective of art, although I agree for us humans it’s quite far out there.

Perhaps to smallen the gap, think of a dung beetle rolling a ball of poo.

I’m not saying you have to like it or even that it’s noteworthy, but art in my opinion as definition can be anything that is created by something. As long as an observer looks at it as if it were art.
