I don’t think it’s disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)

I don’t think count by itself is very relevant. There’s more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

Although I do agree the infographic should be changed to specify biomass

not saying one should be ashamed of ones disabilities

But that’s the point though. In our (at least western because that’s the ones I’m familiar with) societies it is shameful to have disabilities. And pride is the opposite of shame. It’s resistance against the norm

I get what you’re saying, but the way I look at it is as a protest. A recognition that we’re here, despite society’s best efforts to sweep us under the rug

That’s because when you just type “source?” and nothing else people perceive it as you challenging/denying the claim in a slightly hostile manner

Yeah it’s, what, pretty much just a fancy looking wand that shoots a fancy looking projectile?

Edit: I was wrong. It was a bow

In my experience it typically is unsolicited advice. Like, you’re explaining why you’re having a tough time, and then they try to offer solutions, when you just wanted to explain why you’re having a tough time without requesting them to help you with it, directly

Though of course, it depends on the context yeah. In one form of the situation you’re right

Because it’s regarding common “mainstream” solutions such as, for example, “have you tried exercising?”, “have you tried going outside?”, “have you tried keeping a todo-list?”, etc. And not like, “have you tried this therapy session that I’m offering you for free?”, or “have you tried this medication which I’m giving you access to yet?”

Because chances are, there are things that are yet to be done, but those are not things that the average person who is about to suggest something might be able to do

I mean, sure, but that’s really easier said than done. Good luck getting good mental healthcare for cheap in the vast majority of places

The interesting thing though, is that technological life continuing leads to more entropy faster, not slower.

Is your argument that we should use generative AI to mislead people? To make fake videos and images and such to use as “proof”?

This is just that zizek quote

I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps

(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

Maybe it makes achieving personal things in a dark society harder, but it strongly helps to improve society itself. And it’s much more pleasant to live in the opposite of a dark society. A better society is not a zero sum game

Healing is hard and uncomfortable in the short to medium term, but in the long term it’s always preferred

Vel, om bare en av oss kan fortsette som nordmann og den andre bli dømt til å være svensk…

But yeah, I get you, it is a bit funky ^^

people in Nordic countries (and places like the Netherlands) do tend to be vastly overrepresented in the English internet, however

Karl Johan jumpscare

(It’s always interesting when you randomly see a place you live in get posted, it feels so strange)

I know you wrote H and O, and not H2 and O2, but I’m going to assume the gas forms because those two substances pretty much cannot exist in their pure forms

And for those, O2 is necessary for our life, and H2 is non-toxic, it’s just very flammable. So I don’t know if the comparison fully works

Of course, you’re right if you mean pure H and pure O, but, again, they will immediately combine to form a new substance

Well, that doesn’t matter for blåhaj, which disables downvotes, at least

I just want to point out that Greta Thunberg is 22 years old. She’s been an adult for 4 years now

A loooot of the research necessary to make our cutting edge chips still comes from academia
