- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 1 day ago:
Bad content with new tools isn’t a new issue for sure… but it seems pretty dominant in places
Another example is/was every time a space X launch happening (particularly starship) if you search space x or elon musk on youtube. That used to be pretty crypto currency targeted slop though
- Comment on Do boycotts work? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I was think there is easier momentum for non-hardware tech. Social media is mostly its users so if they leave there isn’t much. Disney showed some of the weaknesses of streaming services but they’re aren’t many non-US alternatives. There are YouTube alternatives but there most of the content creators are entrenched there. Most of the rest of Google’s offerings have European alternatives.

I wish there was momentum to boycott US tech companies
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 2 weeks ago:
What specifically in the original post did you have issue with? There’s not a lot too that post, and you have agreed with part of it, so it seems like it would be faster to list out the issues

Here’s a review focused to some extent on how accurate the science in that book is:
www.healthline.com/…/how-not-to-die-review#TOC_TI…
The author seems pretty focused on pushing a single message so I’d be careful with that message myself. (As someone who aspires to have a diet that’s mostly vegetables with a few cheat days for meat.)

Fruits tend to get listed as low GI supporting the poster’s statement.
Also, you’re simplifying the chemistry and metabolic pathways to the point they sound the same when they’re obviously different. I’m not an expert but I as I understand it table sugar is short chain and good to go, fruits (if they’re not pre cooked) tend to be a bit more complicated and have a few more steps along the way (and I assume each requires some energy to unlock and also result in some chemical energy that isn’t completely digested). Also, what you’re saying goes a lot against what I understand from the carb count on the packet from fibre vs. what your body unlocks. That said, I’m very ignorant and far from an expert

Are you both from the US? It was rough getting used to how much you all like to drown out the food with various sauces
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I didn’t say I had a preference. And I see your point that one is just a conjugation of the other. I’ve just seen capitalism as a term used more for explanation and when I’ve seen capitalist said it tends to have a negative connotation at best but more often it is half spat out
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
The question says capitalism (not so loaded term) your answer said capitalist (more loaded term and you’ve taken time to use the loaded part of the term).
That said, I accidentally replied to a question in lemmy.ml so the person asking the question is probably more aligned with your way of thinking and explaining than I am. Sorry about that
- Comment on Why do companies always need to grow? 2 weeks ago:
An economic model that includes capitalism explains a lot of the world including having some close process analogs in nature.
A capitalist sounds like a label you’re trying to apply in an attempt to label someone as being maximally for profits. A lot of companies admittedly work that way and it’s important to include that concept.
By my reading you’re taking the use of the first term and then saying they are using the second term. I think this is called equivocation.

Yeah, I down voted for the poster not saving some of us a click
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 3 weeks ago:
I’m amazed at how many people found rogan authentic. Is it the same sort of podcasters playing off people’s intuitions, like the fact checker used to?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’d add “mania” to that list of terms that need defining. They seem to have a specific meaning that’s probably misaligned with most people reading the question:
