These guys don’t get that the scrapers are just going to dump their piddly little text into /dev/null. And that all they are accomplishing is making other humans hate their posts while doing absolutely nothing to poison the llms.

You can’t poison a data set of this size with a few hundred stupid comments.

All they are really going to accomplish just getting blocked by people who agree with their main point.

Get into folkpunk and you will be drowned in great music where 80% the bands are trans/nonbinary and the others are allies.

The spiders tend to stay out of the house. But everything outside the house? Yeah, spiders own that.

We get maybe 2 or 3 spiders in here every summer, and they get relocated. (unless they are on the ceiling above the bed, then they get dispatched.

May - blackflies

June - mosquitoes and blackflies

July - mosquitoes and deer flies

August - mosquitoes, deer flies, and horse flies

September - All of the above, and start to worry about stuff freezing.

October - Whew, I can finally work outside

November - Start the fire, and keep it going until April.

No wheels on mine.

Nothing consistent. I probably should pick a spot and do a roll-up of the last four years and then post more regularly. I did a little summary about a year ago here --> https://lemmy.ca/post/16843909/7896562

Since then we actually have installed a deep well, washer/dryer, and two more outbuildings. I’ll try to reply to your comment in the next few days with more details if you are interested.

I also post completely randomly as Bo7a@loops.video and https://mstdn.ca/@solace

I’m workin’ on it!

In all fairness. That is exactly how I feel about your reply.

And now my own.

I didn’t know Trident gum had erythritol…

Fair enough. Cheers.

I don’t think I understand your point here.

I was talking about my experience which is 80% in North America. Your points do not apply in North America as we have actually been getting worse for non-car travel in most cities since the 90s.

And that’s without even mentioning the atrocities that are considered inter-city or city-rural travel.

Not in Canada. Not in the US.

Over here we are actively gutting existing bicycle infrastructure to please the right wing morons

We actually did live in switzerland back in 2020 (I know, schengen is not EU) and were about to lease a home in France, but someone in my family fell ill and I had to come back to Canada.

The transit, grocery , pharmacy, and cultural access was amazing to us, even in times when locals were complaining of severely limited services.

Also Canada where the majority of my experience comes from. If I could see some my taxes going towards a Euro-style infra for moving people and things I would be a much happier person overall.

Ditto. But the rest of the travel we do need to do to interact with people, amenities, and services, is still worse than it should be due to poor inter-city and city-rural transit. At least here in Canada. My time in Europe showed me how bad we really have it. Even with the unavoidable foibles that happen in the best of cases/countries.

I was referring to the city planners as @EtherWhack@lemmy.world correctly surmised.

I also have worked from home* for almost two decades. But the non-work travel is still stained by the horrible planning in most urban sprawls.

* For various strange definitions of “home”. From a campground to an RV on a lake, and apartments in Switzerland to rotting farms in Alberta.

As with almost everything. Cheap is subjective. And not even just as in “I have more money so everything is cheaper for me” but also like “The value I derive from this thing for my specific use-case makes the cost feel cheap. To me.”

And since then - We have found ways to make all travel worse for comfort, more expensive, and more necessary.

Did I use an ableist slur? I don’t think I did. And I don’t believe in any gods.

I’m saying that if the takeaway from the other user’s comment was the word choice rather than the message - this signifies another win for the systems that seek to keep even the tiniest resistance splintered and ineffectual.
