Agreed. I see less overall denial and instead more softening of the denial. "The earth's climate has always changed!" and "Sure climate is changing, but can you even say what an ideal climate is?"
What’s bulk VS personal? I can eat 3 a day and they ripen at different times so… that can be a lot.

Canada has a bunch of rules for when food imports are no longer personal, but it’s clearly protectionism. I can go through hundreds of pounds of potatoes over a winter.
could it be 'just' burnout?

i don't know the technical definition of burnout, but i have a feeling it can come at you a few different ways.

that is, it doesn't have to be just 'work burnout' -- but can be everything together

such as the double-global-apocalypse plus whatever you have going on in your personal and professional life
Anecdotal but I know quite a few and they didn't lose weight after diagnosis but were already at a normal body mass from before. It's possible there are other factors at play like stress.
From my layperson's understanding, dopamine isn't the reward neurotransmitter, it's the neurotransmitter associated with 'seeking' activities ('fight/forage/etc') and when you actually get the reward the dopamine levels drop.

So your dopamine levels being high can compel you to seek things on the internet, but in the absence of the internet you'd still have those dopamine levels and just be acting on them in different ways. Perhaps fighting! It's interesting that as more people get online violent crime rates have dropped significantly.

Frankly, you should look at the technical docs on the mechanism at this point. It’s not the kind of image analysis you think it is.

The scientists seemed to have a single political leaning, which made me more skeptical. I saw it as religious apologetics for green ideology.

The presence of any strong uniform ideology makes me extremely skeptical just like political interest does.

I'd summarize as: I assume that strong ideological beliefs or political motives make people irrational, dishonest, and untrustworthy.

Black holes and star formation affect us way less than what's happening politically, but some people still enjoy thinking critically about those.

If you get too emotional over it, though, I guess you shouldn't.
That's not my experience, at least for those denying while not in policy positions to do anything about it. They're actually fairly responsive to "let's really make sure we're not making our grand kids lives harder" kind of arguments if phrased in a way that doesn't set off preprogrammed responses.

They've just been so inundated with propaganda that they take the terms "act of god" so literally that they don't believe at a base level that humanity has the power to modify climate in ways that'll hurt us in the long term. Sort of that Teddy Roosevelt line of thinking; when he heard that buffalo were going extinct he organized a hunting party to not miss out before they were all gone. The idea is that any problems we cause, we'll be able to fix after the fact or won't really matter. The idea of being shepherds of the earth rather than simply inhabitants is a very new one, at least among western cultures.
I had to explain this to a relative who started in with the “the earth has always had climate change” jibberish.

They tried to tell me no-one knows how the last Ice Age happened. So I explained, but because they didn’t understand any of the concepts involved they thought I was just making it up.

It’s a good reminder never to assume malice when plain old stupidity is on the table.

It doesn't. That was my point. I wasn't praising or criticizing NPR. I was saying that conspiracy theorists shouldn't be a reason either for or against transparency.
So why listen to the politicians in the first place, instead of to the scientists who have been as united about this as they have ever been about any major subject? There is some fringe but the consensus is extremely clear.
I would actually prefer that someone didn’t create that since inevitably a more accurate lie detector will be used to convict people/in other contexts where a false positive may cause harm.
The thread they're replying to said nothing about liberal anything, although I would understand jumping to that conclusion if they had.

The widespread vocal opposition to Snopes is not simply from Trump calling it fake news, if anything his was a response just like the rest of us, a response to that organization plainly and blatantly lying to their readers repeatedly.
It’s not the act itself, it’s the fact that there is a segment of the population that will spend thousands of dollars to modify their cars to pollute more, so that they can try and humiliate people driving hybrid and electric cars.

Apple know what they are doing. Don't fool yourself by giving plausible excuses. The further away you are from your phone the more privacy you will have.

Almost everyone was traced back to the Jan 6th insurrection, because unlike antifa they took their phones with them, so easy trace for government. Now they are in solitary confinement in prison while the world loughs at their expectations of privacy from their phones.

If they get a covid passport implemented, you won't be able to go out in public without your phone to prove you've been vaccinated. So leaving a phone behind will not be much of an option if this is to pass. Metadata and contact tracing will keep track of everyone you're near. This dystopian future is possibly just a few weeks away.

FWIW, people who have been convicted of a felony, or are addicted to illegal drugs, are not allowed to buy guns in US, either.

But yes, they're generally more strict about who can own a firearm, as opposed to what firearms can be owned. Czechia is pretty similar. That was kinda my point.

I also have to note that "the NRA and typical 2A types" do not represent all pro-gun-minded people in US. For example: https://theliberalgunclub.com/about-us/stances-regarding-reg...
Man it was back to school night for my youngest daughter last night. We visited with her new teacher for a few minutes. The teacher asked her, "Are you excited to be going back to school?"

I think my daughter was glad she was wearing a mask at that moment. Probably she'll have to wear that mask to school for most of the school year. I'd hate to be a teacher trying to figure out what my kids were actually thinking.

I have said this on other threads. But, I really miss nothing by having a flip phone for the last 1.5 years. Because I work in front of a computer, not having a computer in my pocket is amazing. If I am away from the computer, I am away from the internet and scrolling through stuff. I can understand how people might feel like they would miss things, but I have never once been like, oh I really wish I had "X" app right now.

Not only have I heard of this happening, it's literally on my computer right now! Most of the monitoring on it is automated - but I also write that software. There's not a lot of ML involved in the kinds of automated activity checking that my employer is doing, but if they suspected I was not being productive, they could basically pull my entire body of network requests, which at the very least has addresses of sites, and can tell you roughly how long someone spent on them. Since 90% of my work is on the internet, this is pretty effective spying.

Interestingly, I'd much prefer Microsoft's algorithms classifying me as productive or unproductive, based on how I code - while there's a lot to be said for different patterns of work being equally productive, I trust Microsoft to implement the same heuristics across the board, and not take a look at my gender and race and make assumptions about me based on that.

(Of course, since the ML data of productivity will come from nearly entirely white males, if it's only available to github enterprise cloud subscribers, then the ML data will be pretty biased as it is. Guess discrimination is inevitable!)
I think the more important headline is the numbers of climate change deniers is shrinking and the number of people who want to take action is growing.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

In one case, you have a CEO who takes their hand away but the fine print says always keep your hands on the wheel. Unnamed entity finds that morally wrong.

In the other, all material from the company says that you can take your hands off the wheel. In addition, you have videos of an engineer responsible for Super Cruise doing so as well as a dealer driving with both hands behind their head as well as advertising when someone unwraps a cookie with both hands as well as Sofia Vergara doing her lipstick. Apparently, this is not morally wrong.
This is extremely sad to me. I served in Afghanistan from 2009-2010. One of the things that made me feel like it was worthwhile was watching girls be able to attend school. War sucks, and doesn't really work. We should do a better job avoiding them in the future.
Politicians were also saying "there's nothing to worry about." Shouldn't you be at least equally skeptical whenever someone in power promotes maintaining the status quo?

Seems like a rather useless razor, since politicians often both say pro- and against- arguments for things.

But here especially, "politicians" or "the media" trying to scare you about it is a bit of a red herring. E.g., the media was talking about it because scientists were making claims. Scientists have been wrong before, of course, but discounting the claim because "the media" picked up on it instead of looking into things like "how many scientists" "how long is the trend" "what is the reasoning" is just foolish.
Agreed. We are already beyond the tipping point. Positive feedback loops already kicked in (thawing of Tundra, lower albedo due to glaciers melting, ...). We would need to go carbon negative right away and stay at those levels for years. Or go big about engineering the climate until we carbon levels return to normal levels.
Even if that were the case this will now make it possible to "swat" or target someone by using spyware to send pics to someones phone. Obviously not many people have access to this type of spyware (think NGO Pegasus) but if law enforcement really wanted to target someone this way they will be able to do so.

For everyone else getting access to the phone and manually loading the pic would work.

Additionally it's possible to fool AI:

I recently had a bit of a panic attack when I saw what I thought was a murder hornet in Kentucky. (Last time I had read news of them was early 2020, that they were in the PNW: so I wondered what if somehow the problem was worse than we thought?)

I sprayed the thing and got a closer look, and I felt bad afterwards because what I had killed was most likely a Cicada Killer (It was cicada season, after all). It had beautiful striking orange and blue coloration and it was big as all get out.
I want to know what percentage of people overlap between anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and climate deniers. Are they largely the same group or do we actually have disparate groups that think science is somehow just another religion?
To play devils advocate, they could say that they would need to zoom out to a couple thousands years to be sure or (I’ve actually heard this one) that it is a coincidence that temperatures picked up after the industrial revolution since the little ice age ended around the same time.

That article is very obviously not about what is being searched for. It's about who it is being reported to. For example, if Apple one day decided to detect unauthorized copyrighted media, they could report it to the RIAA. The RIAA is independent of the government, thus the 4th amendment is not violated.
Sure, no problem. It's in my profile. It's not hidden.
It's a scientific issue though, not a political one. You shouldn't ever have been evaluating it through the lens of politics. You fell into that one side vs the other political trap.
It's overwhelmingly a Google thing in my experience, because they're used to everyone else being part of their own insular club (and ignoring the rest of the plebeians incapable of getting a job there).

I guess, but that imparts a level of uniform direction that isn't really known. It could very well be that the PRC government does not know themselves whether or not covid was a lab leak, because who the fuck knows what those beaker heads were doing. They just want to be sure that if it was a lab leak, that no one ever knows.

Basically: totalitarian governments suppress everything. It's what they do. It's not like the west had clear access inside facilities like WIV before the pandemic, so why do we expect different behavior now?

I remain really dubious, personally. Imagine it was a leak. Dozens or hundreds of people -- researchers with PhDs and international cred and travel ability -- would have had to be knowledgeable about the research and in on the coverup. Someone would have swung themselves an appointment at UCSF or Johns Hopkins or wherever in exchange for blabbing.

It's an attractive conspiracy, but really that's all there is. The existing circumstantial evidence is a big nothingburger (Chinese Institute of Virology studies known Chinese Viruses; News at 11!).

The ONLY significant evidence, itself still just a single source, is that the Journal reported that it was known to western intelligence agencies at the time that there was an outbreak of something flu-like among WIV employees in October 2020. That's I guess a little suspicious, but still unconfirmed and... really not enough to move the needle.

Add to that the fact that covid is a close cousin of already-known endemic viruses and that nothing about it looks engineered at all, and... this is still just a natural virus, sorry.
Think of it as the next big thing. It is.

> It’s a good reminder never to assume malice when plain old stupidity is on the table.

We are only in this mess because of this attitude. Don't let evil people get away with evil things just because you think they are stupid. The current groups that believe climate change isn't real all believe that because of decades of misinformation specifically targeted at them, by Exxon and others.

Malice is 100% present and 100% at fault for this. Greedy companies wanted more short term money and knew that it would kill millions of people and cause untold chaos and they didn't care.

The same people who think there are more risks for old people to take the covid vaccine than to not take it.

Not everyone is rational, and especially on climate change were acting means much more than moving 10km to get the vaccine

A long time ago I leaned that no one wins an argument. When it comes to choosing a side in an argument, people end up defending their side to the end. I think it can get worse when the other side is unfriendly.

This is what we have today when it comes to climate stuff. It's not a conversation. It's often not polite. This has the sad effect of pushing many people we disagree with further into their position. Which is exactly what we don't want.
