You could try spending less time on the computer, and spend it with real people in the real world who don’t have these concerns because they make up the 60% of people who only interact with the internet to like cool thins on instagram.
Change is a constant part of life, adapting to new circumstances can lead to new and positive experiences, Like a conversation between two people and their feelings on AI generated content, in a calm and understanding environment.
I think that I understand how you feel, but so that I can be sure you should tell me in your own words. I understand you have many reservations, maybe something I can say can alleviate your concerns.
change all spaces to a, then all consonants to a, then all the characters to a
Chat GPT is onto you.
If we follow the instructions to replace spaces with ‘a’, then replace all consonants with ‘a’, and finally replace all characters with ‘a’, the resulting transformation would be:
Original: surrogate impetus of obscurant deliberate trogloditism
Replace spaces with ‘a’: surrogateaimpetusAofAobscurantA deliberateA trogloditism Replace consonants with ‘a’: aaaaaaaiaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaAaaaaaAaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaa Replace all characters with ‘a’: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
So, the final transformed sequence consists entirely of the letter ‘a’.
Exactly, we might not have wealth, or support, or opportunity, or capacity, or willingness, or hope… but we have been imbued with the belligerence of life, so that won’t stop us!
If everyone has them it’s not a phobia, it’s a condition of consciousness. The phobia is being irrationally afraid of your perfectly normal condition. Which if you think you’re own thoughts are intruding on you, you may have.
Not all thoughts are consciously summoned, wanted, or pleasant. The term intrusive thoughts is a good way to describe those thoughts we find unpleasant.
I am not emotionally disturbed by my ‘intrusive thoughts’ because they have as much bearing on reality as whether I like the smell of burnt toast. They are also my thoughts, I take full ownership of them, they aren’t something that happens to me they’re something I do.
Clarifying such things as intrusive helps destigmatize these thoughts for people who have them and feel the weight of social expectations
I don’t see what is particularly objectionable or hard to understand about the term and why being more specific in the description of one thoughts is off-putting to you.
I’m disheartened by the fact that people feel they need to thought police themselves for the benefit of a society that will never engage with those figments of their imaginations.
That is legitimately depressing and I feel sorry for those people. I wish them the best in developing more significant and functional mental fortitude. Sorry if I offended anyone, it wasn’t my intention.
Edit: downvotes for caring, love the hypocrisy of this place sometimes.
You mean a form of life that I give better care and affection to than they would receive in the wild? About the same time I had a house plant.
I’ll let you guess which one I don’t have anymore because I realised I lacked the skills and capacity to care for it adequately. Hint: it wasn’t the dog.
When was the last time you made direct statements instead of disingenuous leading questions?
Quote them if its so easy, quote my exact specific words that say those things instead of your bullshit interpretation.
Funny thing about communication, telling somone else what they meant or said makes you automatically incorrect because they are the one communicating a message. If they say you don’t understand them you don’t understand. That’s called comprehension and yours sucks.
So, point out my specific words where I did anything other than make an objective statement. I’ll wait.
No such thing as a fair fight, ever. Fighting fair is called sport. Fighting is fighting, you win or you die. Winners win, losers die. Would we like that some of the losers weren’t killed? Sure, but you can’t bring back the dead. History will continue, and you will never see an Native American owned and run America, no matter how idealistic that might feel, because they are already culturally dead. Native Americans are 4x4 driving casino operators now, they became Americans.
you advocate for assimilation, a form of cultural genocide
No I didn’t. Quote me where you believe I did. I said assimilation happened, I didn’t support or advocate for it. Show me which words I used in approval. Bet you can’t.
Choline is bountiful and not a concern “Micronutrients” I’d love to know which ones
It’s been common knowledge for decades that maintaining a nutritionally balanced vegan or vegetarian diet is not as simple as just eliminating meat as doing so causes a severe lack of several key nutrients and vitamins. The main offenders are vitamin B12, Omega 3, vitamin D, Zinc, and Choline. Some of these can be accounted for by increasing variety in the diet but others require supplements for a multitude of reasons, either recommended daily consumption cannot be met due to self imposed dietary restrictions, a lack of nutritionally rich sources, or simply how much food you can eat.
Nutritional deficiencies caused by incorrectly managed vegan diets are why doctors in Italy and Belgium are pushing for it to become illegal to feed children vegan diets, because the number of malnourished and dead children of vegan parents are rising in those nations.
Choline is a nutrient that was identified in the 1800’s but wasn’t known as essential to human development until the late 90’s, it’s found primarily in animal protein and severely impacts brain development in young children and has ongoing effects on mental capability and brain function during adulthood and deficiencies have been linked to multiple memory related diseases. According to nutritional data from the US National Institute of Health on Choline density in foods a vegan would have to consume two and a half cups of soybeans every day to meet minimum RDI for an adult as opposed to 300g of animal protein. The next nearest vegan source of choline is chickpeas which have 50% lower Choline density than soybeans (5 cups a day to meet RDI!)
And if meat is the food storage of the world how is it a measly 2% of calories consumed?
Source? Are those numbers including livestock consumption of non-meat products? Pet consumption of meat products? You bitch about not sourcing information when none were requested then drop that bullshit with no source?
I just can not stress enough that they eat 20X as many calories that could have been from humans.
Whole soy beans make up less than 6% of an American production cow’s diet, they can’t handle more, the rest is made up from industrial food waste such as soybean meal from soymilk production, beet pulp from sugar production, cotton seeds from clothes production, brewers grains from alcohol production, citrus pulp from fruit production, corn gluten from corn syrup production, candy and bakery waste. Numbers from non waste food consumption in cows is as low as 2-3%.
Not to mention you complain that it’s only available due to international commerce… yet many countries import meat as well
Which has higher caloric density and thus is more environmentally sustainable than transporting the same nutritional value in produce. It’s like you want to burn more fossil fuels in the shipping industry than necessary.
You’re right, it is class warfare, rich countries should stop eating meat and instead focus fields on crops that are 20X more efficient until everyone has more food than they can possibly eat.
Crop management, pesticides, and harvesting kill far more animals of varying species for the same equivalent nutritional value of a single head of cattle. Animals are also often raised on land that can’t be used for crops turning useless land into sustainable food resources, here in Australia over 70% of all our cattle are grass fed on non-arable land that can’t be used for farming crops and that soil health requires both crop rotation and animal biodiversity otherwise you’re not going to be able to grow vegetables there for long. The only reason a healthy nutritionally balanced vegan or vegetarian diet is even remotely possible is due to globalised trade and access to internationally produced and shipped vegetables. To maintain a nutritionally complete vegan diet for an individual year round actually requires far more use of fossil fuels and directly released carbon emissions due to limited seasonality and local accessibility than a cow produces for the same nutrient density and complexity locally.
Here’s a “fun” fact, first world demand for fruit and grain variety has out priced primary sources of food for local populations in third world countries including things like lentils, quinoa, and avocados.
If you can’t provide sources in a response I will just have to ignore as a troll though. Because every point you made was just… factually incorrect. I’m hoping you just heard those things somewhere else and repeated them without checking and didn’t make them up to be a bother.
If self-awareness was a disease, you’d be the healthiest person alive.
Also, choline. Also, numerous micronutrients. Also, nutrient density and bioavailability. Also, non-arable grazing land makes up a large part of that 60% (see Australia). Also, locally sustainable nutrient complete. Also, not subject to needing supplementation from foods only available due to international commerce. Also, where do you think they grow the crops for extracting nutrients for supplements? Also, meat is the battery mass storage of the food world, you can charge it up, it’s portable, easy to keep, won’t spoil until harvested.
But go on, tell me again how the poor have access to nutrition and that it’s not class warfare. Starvation must suck on a full stomach.
