    As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to

    As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn’t, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they’re all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.

      Or you can just smoke weed and drop acid in your 20s like I did, and get over a decade’s head start on not giving a fuck. By age 30 I was no longer worried about every single thing; the substances I took gave me some perspective about how little everything in my life matters in the grand scheme of things.

      Seriously, I’m 41 and over the last year I’ve slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I’ve just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It’s amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.

        Do you have examples of things you don’t pay as much mind to anymore? I am having a hard time picturing that from just the two comments.

      I was wondering why it looked off. The skin has this “plastic wrap” sheen to it that every AI-generated human seems to have, and the raptor looks like a giant plastic toy.

      It’s a useful way to dodge automated copyright flagging systems if you’re trying to churn out meme page content and crosspost it on many platforms.

      Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.

      Funny how everybody supports freedom of choice - but only for the right choices.

      Also wouldn’t posting a still from the movie without permission be “stealing”? Moral purity is so complicated now.

        Freedom of choice does not preclude you from being called out for making shitty choices dumb dumb.

        Posting a photo is not stealing, what dumb takes you have friend. Look up ‘fair use’ and that should help you understand that.

        Also, just, idk, what even is this argument? Choices can’t be made in a vacuum and choices can’t be forced on people are not antithetical to shitty choices being shitty choices.

            Morons: “I think using AI for this is lazy, and the result is ugly.”

              There’s gotta be a name for the disorder of treating real life and real people like memes. You’re doing it now.

            Freedom of choice does not mean freedom from consequences.

            You’ve absolutely lost the plot, I didn’t know that Lemmy had bots now.

            Lookup all the stuff you can do with Redstone. You can teach computer science inside Minecraft.

              This might come as a shock to the Lemmy community, but I have zero interest in ever learning how to code.

        I started playing it late 20s. It really is a game anyone can enjoy. Particularly the Java version with modpacks (some of these modpacks are probably actually unplayable by children because of how complicated and technical they are).

          My impression was that as i got older the minecraft audience got younger. So after 10 years the age difference to most other players went from -5 to +15
