Jeg gider heller ikke mere.

Sakramente er jo bare et andet ord for ritual. Det forklarer intet, medmindre man tror på det i forvejen.

Hvad er der væsentligt ved at at få vand kastet i hovedet?

Jeg har sympati for kristne som efterlever den kristne tro.

Gør mod andre, som I ønsker, at de skal gøre mod jer. Hvis I kun elsker dem, der elsker jer, hvad særligt godt skulle der være ved det? Det kan enhver synder jo gøre.

Har du måske lyst til at få smidt vand i hovedet?

I'm not really scared of AI becoming more intelligent. I'm more concerned about stupid people giving control to stupid AI. It's plenty capable of fucking things up as it is provided it is given access to do so.

It used to be that political comics were satirical.

This is just the news.

You're right. Retirement is a term used as a carrot at the end of stick. You'll never get it, or it will be stale when you finally catch it. I don't know that many happy retired people. Sure they got off the rat wheel, but at what cost? An entire life spend on making billionaires richer. Fuck that.

Forget about retirement. Instead, I suggest focusing and actively working on making life worth living before getting too old. Demand better working conditions if work is what's making life miserable.

I think the people who just pick up an instrument and fool around with it might be more tempted to use AI than an actual composer who knows and cares about music theory and sound production.

It's all about what they want to do. You don't ask a algorithm to solve your sodoku, because what's the point of doing it then.

It's a standing joke that composers actually make their living doing tedious tasks like commercial jingles and background music for radio shows. The AI can easily do that, removing both the tedious work, but also the payment.

Algorithm based music isn't a new thing. One could argue that it was exactly what Bach was doing. His ideas were mostly simple three note motifs, and the rest of the hourly long concerts were just him churning out all the possible arrangements using strict theory. AI could do that faster than a human, but I also don't think any human is really interested in doing it like that anymore. It was a huge accomplishment by Bach, but only because he was the first to lay the groundwork. It's not interesting today.

Composition today is all about conveying an idea or emotion through sound, which would be rather difficult for an AI. It can probably fake it well enough, but it'll be based on already existing methods, aka slop. There's already enough human made slop in music to saturate the market for such. AI doesn't really have an edge in doing it, except it might be cheaper for those that need it.

Sand from Sahara in Africa is sometimes carried by wind and rains down in Scandinavia and even South America.

Fish eggs have landed in tree tops in the Amazon and what not.

I'm sure a mosquito or their eggs could ride the wind to Iceland as well.

Det er småpenge når man tjener så lidt som mig, og det er egentligt et billigt kontigent for medlemskab af en fritidsinteresse, men jeg er imod den særbehandling at kirken kan opkræve kontingent via skatten.

Hvis vi skal bruge statens ressourcer på at administrere betalinger for foreninger mv. , så vil jeg da hellere have et fitness abonnement, tandlæge og Danske Spil ind i forskudsopgørelsen./s

Jeg kan sagtens se formålet med at kirken giver lokalsamfundet mulighed for at mødes i lokaler som giver anledning til rolig eftertanke, og samhørighed. Jeg ville ønske at der var et mere moderne alternativ.

Der hvor filmen knækker for mig er at ordføreren skal være en præst som forkynder Guds budskab. Hvis Gud vil mig noget, så kan han sende mig en e-mail. Jeg behøver ikke præstens fortolkning af hvad han/hun tror at have forstået.

Det pisser mig også af at kirken som den eneste grundejer i landet har lov til at lave veto mod udsigten til vindmøller på andre folks grunde.

Jeg synes desuden at ritualerne med at hælde vand i hovedet af spædbørn og servere slatne kiks og doven portvin til mindreårige konfirmander er meget ude af trit med nutiden.

Derfor har jeg meldt mig ud af kirken.

Honestly, the bamboo "forest" isn't worth a visit. I wonder if they post this news just to attract more tourists. The same story has been posted year after year.

It's just a place where someone once planted a lot of bamboo thinking they'd need it as a ressource. They didn't need it so they just left it there.

It dates back about a thousand years, so I guess it's "natural" now, but it's basically the remains of a human made plantation, albeit old.

The famous path through it is about a hundred meters long and a great spot to take that photo. I didn't feel immersed in the forest at all, because the entry and exit is visible through the entire "attraction".

There's a nice temple with an impressive garden close by and some random rich rock star dude also build a mansion with a garden on top of the mountain next to the forest, and that's it.

The whole thing felt like the kind of place that you only want to go if you're a tourist with nothing better to do.

Kyoto is still worth visiting as a whole. The thousand gates on mt. Inari is a much better use of your time.

Kirken er et fordyrende og forkludrende mellemled mellem de troende og Gud.

Jeg har ikke problemer med kristendommen. Jeg har problemer med kirken. De skal ikke have ret til at bestemme noget som helst over de danskere som ikke frivilligt er medlem af deres klub.
