The Americas are a big place. There are lots of countries here. That is why I try not to use the term American when talking about people from the USA. It’s something I do slip into sometimes but I’m trying to break the habit. That is why I pointed it out as many people from Latin America would call people from the US estadunidenses for example. It’s more precise. Less ignorant.
Is that what I said or is it what you decided I’d said?
The United States
Yeah, I never said other countries didn’t have problems. If you read my post I’m very clearly saying that I think people from the US should be focused on their own country. I’d like to fix the problems here. I think it’s pointless to focus so much on other countries when there are so many things to fix in the US. Once the US is not a dumpster fire I’d have no issue with people here talking about other countries problems. It just seems like a massive distraction tactic by the ruling class. Like “Don’t talk about how you don’t have healthcare! Talk about this bad thing a country 3000 miles away is doing!”
Could you elaborate as to how people shouldn’t be like me? I’m really curious to hear your advice on how I can improve myself as a person based on this lemmy post of mine you saw.
There are so many .world users just having a fit in the comments. I think you can’t see them from hexbear. It’s kind of hilarious.
I’m from the US…
They’re literally not addressing what I said in the slightest. They also did a false quote “As Americans”. Which is such a typically American thing to do. I never once used the term American.
Did you read my entire post?
one thing I’ve had success with is just buying some dried great northern beans and throwing them around. They grow like crazy and you can eat the bean pods as green beans.
I mean the top 100 and we’d be good to go honestly.
the us been trying this for decades and despite killing millions it hasnt fixed the climate
Honestly you could just go down to random underdeveloped areas and throw native berry bush seeds and stuff like that around. Then you know where it is if you need it. I’ve got quite a few areas where I’ve just found native edibles and know I can go to find them in a pinch.
See this is a normal response to this. It kinda weirds me out how common it is for people to be all “Heh heh, tell me Chinese AI… China bad, right? It won’t say it! Authoritarianism!”
Like maybe straighten out your priorities a bit? The country we live in killed like 300 little girls in Minab a few months ago. That seems a bit more important than the AI not letting you have your gotcha moment.
It doesn’t discuss anything Chinese politics related, and sometimes just wider politics too. It’s just a blanket filter on like any chinese politicians name or anything else the company decided it didn’t want to risk it talking about. It’s not about positive or negative the filter isn’t that advanced. It’ll just clam up the instant one of its filter words is hit.
I cracked up at I don’t understand the question lmao. I also read that and was thinking, “huh?”
Exactly. I try to tell this to my family and they all act like I’m crazy. Well my house is stocked atleast even if they don’t stock theirs. I’ve also been experimenting with growing my own food. Have potatoes, corn, blueberries, peaches, blackberries, mullberries, onions, and butternut squashes. Summer squashes and beans going in soon. Also have a few books on edible wild plants and stuff for foraging. Fishing gear too.
I honestly think this is the only logical stance someone in the US can take. Like wtf is China going to do to you? Is the CPC going to come across the pacific and try to arrest you? No. But ICE might come knocking if google figures out your not on board with Trumps new President for Life position.
It is not just possible. They do use domestic Huawei chips. The Ascend 950 specifically. Which is a big part of why they can operate so much more cheaply. No need to buy those insanely expensive NVIDIA chips.
So me saying we should focus our energies on domestic problems and not waste time complaining about something happening in a country we’ve never been to doesn’t make sense? This is exactly how the US elites want people acting. Too concerned about Iran, or China, or Russia, or wherever they’ve decided is the new bad guy of the week to see your real enemies are in Washington DC. And I’m not talking about the partisan horse race. They’re all the problem.
