You talking bout Alaska bud?

Seems like AI slop article.

NAS is way easier. Working with a baby you are testing in prod all the time. Congrats on both!

No, people are still dying and being disabled by it. In fact, maybe if the world feels shitty it is but also you might have brain damage from multiple infections.. Also from the last link, in case you needed convincing:

It’s not known exactly how many people develop long COVID after an acute COVID-19 infection because estimates vary, but it ranges between 2 percent and 10 percent of the infected population.

At least 65 million people worldwide have long COVID, including 10–20 percent of children with a history of COVID-19.

The debilitating illness affects multiple organ systems and is associated with more than 200 symptoms, including fatigue, memory issues, sleep disorders, concentration impairment, dizziness, orthostatic intolerance, sensory overload, post-exertional malaise, headaches, anxiety, depression, and gastrointestinal issues.

It often leads to potentially lifelong conditions such as dysautonomia, cardiovascular disease, myalgic encephalomyelitis/ chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), diabetes, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS).

Honestly, maybe you’re serious. And maybe you’re a nice person and you just don’t get how what you’re saying comes off. But you just put “hand terracing a hill” in the same paragraph where you then said that acting like gardening is hard is silly.

Maybe for the person who has the knowledge, skills, abilities, and resources to successfully hand terrace a hill it isn’t that hard? I’m sure LeBron James doesnt find layups that hard either.

Regardless of how you meant it, the comment comes off with strong Lucille Bluth vibes.

So happy for you that you have the things that make that easy. Good climate, no pests or deer or rabbits or crows, or robins or other birds, considerate neighbours, access to water for irrigation all year long, and apparently no issues with weeds eh? And lots of access to cheap, safe compost too huh? Oh and the tools (and storage!) to spread compost, aerate soil, weed (wait you dont get weeds!), and manage things like planter beds or poles or netting or trellises or tomatoes cages? And you grow enough that you meaningfully cut down on groceries huh? What a lucky duck.

Growing food is incredibly easy

By comrade in crisis, I grew up with a family and extended family putting blood sweat and tears into food gardens every summer my whole life. They managed to grow enough to supplement everyone’s diets most years. But they still needed groceries. And some years things went to shit when weather or pests or something else went wrong. And it was never, ever easy. So, I’m sorry. I call bullshit.

Gotta love all the “just grow your own!” comments and the lack of awareness about how analogous it is to “just pull yourself up by your bootstraps!”

Or maybe not a lack of awareness, who knows what trolls, bots and influences lurk on lemmy, pushing conservative victim blame. Worked on reddit for plastic straws and personal carbon footprints.

Elegant solutions, silver linings, etc.
