0·4 hours agoInteresting, that looks kinda neat. What is this place exactly? It gives you a sense of what an old-timey town would look like?

0·4 hours agoI am! But I’m interested to hear in anything interesting :)
(I knoa this is a different account but I am OP. Peifed.ca is having some serious issues right now and my comments were’t federating, so I replied earlier but don’t know if it showed up)
Right now it’s monkeys. I used to think monkeys were gross and disturbing in an uncanny valley sort of way, so humanlike but not human at the same time.
I agree with you that it’s monkeys. Thats why this image is my profile pic.

It’s a selfie taken of a monkey. IIRC it became a precedent setting case in copyright law, because the owner of the camera tried to claim ownership over the photo. The issue was that you need to actually take the picture to own the it. But the guy didn’t take the photo; the money took the photo. And monkeys cannot own property, under the law. So the image became public domain. Here’s the Wikipedia page on the case

stupid people aren’t theoretical brings who exist outside this discussion we are having here. Many people in this thread qualify
I agree you’re pretty stupid
Just want to note that physicalism =/= atheism. There are theistic physicalists (eg Thomas Hobbes) and non-physicalist atheists (eg David Chalmers). Atheism is the belief that there is no God. Physicalism is the belief that reality is made up of entirely physical stuff. The two viewpoints are not necessarily related.

There must be some drama happening behind the scenes here. I wonder what’s going on.
