I first download all my stuff and then stream it.

I wish it was.

If that was the case I'd just F5 some companies into bankruptcy. Sadly, it's not.

Oh wow, never seen one of these. No idea.

I've never seen some ride a unicyle on a road in regular traffic, which is where most of the danger of riding a bike is.

[-] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 91 points 1 day ago

No, they ranking the usage of a car as less dangerous. Which is correct.

[-] tobogganablaze@lemmus.org 1 points 2 days ago

Yes there is. At least in in German everyone used to call them "Lego Männchen", which means "little men".

Man bekommt ihn ja kaum noch irgendwo für unter 6,50 Euro.

DE ist so schön billig .... ich bekomme keinen für unter 12 CHF.

I suspect it might just be a troll account. Encapuslating the sterotypical vegan meme to the extreme. The username really should give it away.

It would be silly to call these things telepathy because by themselves they don’t facilitate a way to communicate thoughts between two minds

A lot of animals use pheromones to communicate details about themselves in a far more complex way than we could by smelling.

and unless these two mechanisms are used to communicate ideas between users.

I think some of the peacock spiders, despite being already visually stunning, actually have UV light reflective surfaces (as well as the abililty to see UV) and use those in their mating display. So even while not being able to generate UV light they still use it to communicate in a way that we couldn't percieve. It might be a bit of a stretch, but in general you could communicate by manipulating/reflecting natural radio background waves, just as many animals do it with visible (or invisible) light.

Are you saying, for example, that extraordinary cultures don’t exist, since they are ordinary for their members?

Well, no. But it does depend on your point of view. From inside that culture other cultures would be the extraordinary ones.

And when you're talking about the biology of animals it seems quite self-centred to compare everything to us. We are just one very specific animal.

Many animals have a vastly superior sense of smell, can see light outside our visible spectrum or hear sound outside our hearing range. But it would be silly to call all these things "telepathy" just because we humans don't have these senses.

But yeah, I don't really like the definition that heavily rely on the subjective qualifiers of ordinary/normal. I prefere the extra-sensory one. Because that clearly puts telepathy in the realm of an yet unknown or fictional mechanism, which is where I think the term belongs.

The comment section shitting on you is basically the only good thing about these posts.

I watched "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" a few weeks ago which is probably my first proper anime (not counting the odd episode of Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or OnePiece I caught on TV as a child) and I really enjoyed it.

Especially the slow but deep character build up and general world building and exploration themes were really captivating. So I'm looking for something similar with focus on these aspects.

So far I found "Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina", which was ok but didn't quite live up to Frieren and wasn't nearly as captivating.

So does anyone know similar shows or at least shows that focus on the aspects of story telling I mentioned avove?
