  • Congrats on living long enough to complain about it

  • Perhaps, but I fucking hate Boomers just like the rest of the world. Lumping us, especially those of us born after 75 in with Boomers, is crazy. I have nothing in common with them.

    I can't afford a house, I will never retire, I am hard left, etc., etc. Screw that generation.

  • This was my guess. This shit doesn't come from nowhere. My bet is that some big wig or VC backed it and is trying to get ROI.

    "Free OS that works great?"

    NO! I WANT TO PAY.

  • "At least 40" would be effectively what you stated with ">40."

  • Not sure they know what they meant at this point. :)

  • Indicted. No "a."

    It's not a matter of autocorrect when you're spelling another word correctly but the word means something else entirely.

  • Not me. I thought they meant "indicted," not "indicated." It got more confusing until I realized they spelled it wrong twice. "Endigted" was at least phonetically closer.

  • They're a highly invasive species here in Washington state. Brought by settlers. They've displaced the native species and are nearly impossible to get rid of.

  • The wolf spider art is familiar to me. It also is distinctly different from the salamander art to my eyes. I get it, my mistake. I have edited my comment.

  • The line weight and huge, perfectly centered round eyes all are hallmarks of AI slop. I accept that I'm wrong about him specifically, but this style looks like like AI to me.

  • Edit: I accept I am wrong here. His style looks like AI slop to me. I see his responses in the screenshots. I'm wrong. I'll keep my statement about slop as-is, though, since it's true.

    HELLO THERE!

    DID YOU KNOW USING AI SLOP AS A CARTOON IS HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT?

    Brian Ahearn may make poignant cartoons, but his use of generative AI to illustrate them is sad.

  • Of course you're correct. Nuance died ages ago.

  • Dosage is EVERYTHING. If you're slamming a bunch into your gut, you will die. For example, one night I did 8-9 grams of psilocybin (combined with DMT and a touch of acid - suffice it to say, I broke through the edge of the universe and looked back in dismay). Half that in Amanitas would probably kill a person.

    HOWEVER, since this is something that seems to come up a lot, here are the potential side effects and a proposal to limit sales of these things due to dumbasses like the guy described below.

    MUSCARIA

    Increased consumer interest and widespread availability are concerns for public health because Amanita muscaria products contain compounds that are toxic including muscimol, ibotenic acid, and muscarine.9 Most scientific literature on the health effects of Amanita muscaria in humans pertains to studies of the ingestion of raw Amanita muscaria mushrooms. These effects include dizziness, dysphoria, visual hallucinations, agitation, ataxia, muscle fasciculation, seizures, and coma.12 While death is rare, it has been reported as an outcome, including a case reported in the last year of a 44-year-old man who died after ingesting 4 dried Amanita muscaria mushroom caps.13 The first documented case of hospitalization due to Amanita muscaria consumption in the United Kingdom was reported in July 2023.14 This case involved a 46-year-old woman who had ingested dried mushrooms (0.5 grams) daily for 2 weeks as part of what is referred to as a “microdosing” regimen that was being followed in an attempt to reduce anxiety without inciting psychotropic properties. She reportedly purchased 20 grams of Amanita muscaria mushrooms from a website advertised on social media.

  • Amanitas won't kill you. You'd be terribly sick if you didn't prepare it properly, though.

    Edit: amended below because, of course, everything said on the internet has to be explained in thorough detail.
