Is it…? I feel like people have a very anti-AI sentiment that I sometimes struggle to understand.

Well AWS is much harder to avoid that’s true. I’m not sure how you can even tell if a site is working with them. Only way to be sure would be to never go online.

True that’s the main reason I would shop online because some things can’t be purchased otherwise. But I don’t run into that super often.
Next time I’ll pay attention to see if Amazon is involved in some way… I have been boycotting them for a few years now and would like to continue that as best I can.

Really? You mean like other websites you buy from are secretly owned by Amazon?
- Comment on Is there an "Avoid Amazon" community for people who want to support smaller online retailers? 1 week ago:
I just buy most things in person. If that fails I do a web search and buy from another platform.

Well I wouldn’t say it has discouraged care. Frankly it has been more accurate than I would have expected. It’s more that whenever you give it an update it goes wow that’s fantastic news! But then if you read the actual details it’s not so fantastic lol. So it will maintain this sort of fake positivity even as it accurately explains some of the bad things that could happen.

Similar related issue. My family has been dealing with some medical issues lately and my mom has been using Claude a lot to explain various complex issues, analyze prognoses, etc. and I’ve noticed that it’s often excessively positive. Like everything that happens is super positive news and a huge step towards recovery.
Now I’m not a medical professional so I don’t know for sure it’s wrong but it sets off my BS alarm for sure.

Sweat is disgusting oxygenist propaganda. Why can’t you just leak pure hydrogen from your pores like a normal molecule?

It’s really not too bad. Just imagine weighing yourself down and laying flat on the bottom as they crawl over you. As long as you don’t try to move they won’t bother you.

You don’t. The US can’t be fixed until the people want it to be fixed. And right now they don’t.

- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 1 month ago:
Radical environmentalism, even when combined with a goal of reducing the earth’s population, is not fascism. Fascism is a specific ideology. Most of the people you listed are anti-government activists. Some are even anarchists. Fascism requires a totalitarian state. They are also internationalist in their politics, where fascism is hyper-nationalist. I’m similarly not aware of any strong racial theory in their ideas, which is perhaps the single most important part of fascism. You can disagree with their viewpoints but it’s crazy to call them fascists when they don’t fit the definition and have deep ideological disagreements with fascism.
This is precisely why I don’t like this term. It’s just a smear against the environmental movement that doesn’t fit the actual ideology it’s criticizing. Which again, I don’t mind criticism but I do mind thought-terminating cliches in place of thoughtful critique.
Garret Hardin is probably the one person who you could argue does fit the eco-fascist label, but I would argue his influence has waned dramatically. Maybe there are a few boomers who uncritically parrot his views but there is no organized political movement from his ideas. I can’t think of any disciples of his ideas of any prominence.

Yeah people love to complain about rain in Seattle but some parts of the coast here get almost double the amount of rain.
- Comment on why does almost nobody live here? 1 month ago:
All good points but you also forgot to mention another key factor. This is more or less the rainiest region in the country. It’s extremely wet and most people don’t like that.

Unless you are dehydrated drinking more water is of minimal benefit. Unless you’re replacing other unhealthy drinks with water, but that’s got little to do with the water.

Interesting because I find boletes very confusing and some are poisonous. But maybe this varies regionally.

That’s fair. Few people dare to eat the edible Amanitas, although they’re said to be quite tasty. If the deadly species didn’t exist, they would probably be much more popular.

Most edible mushrooms are easy to identify. At least I think so.
