Troll.

I misread this post. I thought Phoebe Bridgers posted the AI poem. My bad.

Ohhhhh I misread this post. I thought Phoebe Bridgers posted the AI poem. My bad.

We sure are, but because we’re tired we should be DOWNvoting the pointlessly negative comments. It’s difficult enough to retain sanity in this political environment without our fellow lefties deliberately making us feel worse.

Why do people keep upvoting this obnoxious and pointless negativity?

Alex was also killed by Latino men.

Ignore the obvious troll.

Isn’t she supposed to be a song writer? I’m just going to go ahead and assume that her future songs were written by AI and her previous songs were purchased.

Edit: I misread this post. I thought Phoebe Bridgers posted the AI poem. Oops! I’m glad I was wrong, as I kind of like Phoebe Bridgers.

Yes! That was the best news I’ve seen in a while and a pleasant surprise : )

I do appreciate your attitude, despite the wincing 😉

I’m not sure how to cut out bad news without cutting out all news completely.

Nothing you just named can come anywhere near climate change in terms of severity. Humanity (and the majority of complex organisms) won’t survive climate change, but the planet will. In a million years it will be like we were never here, and life can start over. That’s the kind of pragmatic optimism that I find comforting.

Also bad news about the nature… I winced when I saw this comment because it’s so naive, but this thread isn’t the place for me to mention the Brazilian election, or how BC is about to be clear cut, or…

I better go.

Now that Ellison owns CNN I’m sure their last shreds of journalistic integrity will suddenly be nowhere to be found.

This is true, and I find it oddly comforting. In a million years there will be no trace left of our awful species and the climate will have rebounded by then. It’s estimated that our sun has 2 billion years left, so there’s plenty of time for new life to evolve.

But this comforting thought doesn’t extend to these destructive selfish people who are destroying the only nature we’ll ever have access to. The fact that the earth will ultimately be fine doesn’t justify the destruction of nature.

Not at all. The opposite, actually. Lemmy is toxic as hell, worse than reddit ever was. I get piled on for being right all the time. If you don’t confirm to popular opinions here, people will bully you as a group and say some seriously ableist shit. Lemmy is the most anti-autistic online space I’ve ever seen. “Touch grass” is a placeholder for much worse shit.

I think the guy I’m responding to is a troll. He “lives in the woods” and yet is able to respond to my comments within minutes of me posting them?

They got caught in a lie and doubled down, simple as.

I hike constantly. I spend more time in nature than you do, which is why I care about it so much, unlike you. I just don’t live there. Because I’m an environmentalist.

Have you learned anything yet? Nature is for visitation only, living there destroys it.

Humans are not a part of nature, beavers are. If a human goes to live somewhere other than a city, they destroy that ecosystem and it becomes something else.

Either you’re lying about “living in the woods” (which is the best case scenario) or you’re fucking up one of the only natural ecosystems left.

So you’ve ruined the woods and now it’s turning into the city you were living in.

There’s no such thing as “living in the woods” because humans transform any biome they move to.

No, commenting “it won’t happen” on every single fucking post is pessimism. Sometimes good things happen.

People always upvote some form of this comment on every post that contains potential good news. Sometimes y’all need to keep your pessimism to your fucking self. It’s exhausting.
