  • That's a good point. I guess some later schools do practice devotion to Buddha whereas earlier Buddhism might have only regarded the qualities of Buddha as inspiration. It's definitely not part of the Buddhist path in early Buddhism.

  • I doubt you understood them. Buddhists don't worship Buddha idols or anyone: Buddha considered such devotion or worship unenlightened/unskilled & instead encouraged self-reliance in one's journey to nirvana. They're more contemplating the enlightenment they identify with Buddha as they meditate on their own way to achieve that. A Shrek figure may work just as well for their purpose: enlightenment to them means shedding ego & not letting vicissitudes/nuisances cling them to samsara.

  • The comments here appear to confirm the Nobel committee awarded the right person: anything a Lemmy circlejerk hates is almost certainly right & good as further corroborated by telltale signs such as histrionic overreactions.

  • Did someone pee in your cereal?

  • I gotta respect Dave for giving no fucks & for "punching" any damn direction he wants.

  • You don't know anything about how they earned their money or manage it other than he wasted a considerable amount of their wealth near or probably past retirement.

  • his wife is also likely a gold digger?

    Would you stay married to that dumbass? That stupidity is unforgivable.

  • No solid substantiation: just unsupported assertions.

  • Microsoft abandoned their Calibri font for Aptos.

  • I know it when I see it.

    Just because. 😎

  • For some professional reason, though, right? Uh, just because!

  • do you think I would have no responsibility for the actions that other person takes?

    Yep: not your problem. That person needs a handler, and you're not theirs. We can give people informed choices. We have no duty to defend someone from their own irrationality.

  • Nope. Text is text: it can't compel action.

  • If a human tells you how to commit suicide, and you do, that's on you, though.

  • we need to design AIs accordingly

    No, we don't. The harm was self-inflicted. The reader had unlimited time to contemplate their actions before committing them. This is entirely on the user.

  • While I agree, the markdown guide is right there in the editor toolbar along with formatting buttons, and we don't need to break semantic structure like that.[^footnote]

  • Yep, most of the comments on here are cringe-inducing outrage devoid of sense.
