Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Tell that to the landfills full of machines. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -5 points 2 years ago not me tho im different 😏 permalink fedilink source parent [–] ABoxOfPhotons@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Heresy! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Norgur@kbin.social 1 point 2 years ago Blood for the blood god! permalink fedilink source parent [–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I love comments like this that have essentially nothing to do with the OP, but reveal to us the exact unrelated thing the commenter was mad about in that moment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] queermunist@lemmy.ml -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Have you not listened to how they talk about the singularity, transhumanism, effective altruism, AI, """rationalism""", and all that shit? They are religious, even if they don't self identify that way.
