AAAlways has been .jpg. Just look at literally every sports game since the Street series.

Btw kudos on the memetic payload that is your username, you monster.

I… uh… what? This still isn’t how words work.

I repeat:

what exactly are they coping with?

Who is coping here? With what? It’s… an athiest coping with a lack of faith? A jewish person coping with flaws in their religious law?

There is no one on the face of the earth that can reconcile passages from religious texts such as these.

Uh… way to just miss the point of the entire religion.

All of Judaism - down to their goddamn rite of manhood - is built upon literacy. Reading and interpreting the will of God. Scholarly analysis of their own texts - reconciling the word with the world - is literally the foundation of their entire religion.

Lol okay? I wasn’t arguing in favor of the dairy industry at all. I was providing historical context - essentially, I’m warning that we shouldn’t let AI go the way of the dairy industry. That is, we shouldn’t allow it to grow so massive that it starts having similar effects on the climate.

That being said,

Perhaps there have been times of famine where it kept people alive, but today and throughout most of human history, it’s simply killing people

This is just false. Most of human history was famine, compared to the modern day. Food lasted a couple days, at most. Dairy and grain were massive contributors to human flourishing.

It might not be healthy compared to other modern alternatives, but I invite you to find historical alternatives that were at all competitive. People were more likely to own a cow in the middle ages than they were to own land.

I don’t think this word means what you think it means… what is “copium” about discussing possible origins of dogma?

OP is literally saying “this widespread institutionally-reinforced religious practice/dietary restriction could all be due to a mistranslation”, what exactly are they coping with?

For the record, dairy production and consumption has been around for almost all of human civilization. It had time to really embed itself in society, and it served a very real, practical purpose. It kept people alive.

The AI hype has only being going for like a decade and shows no signs of slowing down. Those numbere are literally rookie numbers.

Dishwashing is a significant underestimate here, and don’t forget hand-washing (before/after bathroom, food, cleaning…).

Plus you missed outdoor and gardening, which would help explain why the Land of the Free Lawns uses more than anybody else.

Everything seemed more freeing and liberating, more open

I mean… I’m sorry to say that this is just what aging feels like.

Choices narrow, freedoms restrict, responsibilities build. And all the while, we gain more personal power, more personal experience, and yet we bear witness to more and more things that we cannot change.

You don’t sound like a boomer, because boomers didn’t invent aging. You just sound like someone who is letting themself get old.
