You are likely scanning my profile and history because I said something in a tone that made you feel funny or angry. This is called being reactionary. You can overcome it.
Firing up the new Starcraft shooter, the female voice in your coms says: “Run down this hallway, you’re going to need to prove you know how to crouch and jump over obstacles before you can learn how to switch weapon modes!”
yeah, I am gonna need something really special to get excited about another FPS shooter no matter what the wallpaper looks like.
Nobody is going to learn everything they need to be safe from making mistakes in mushroom collecting on a fucking Lemmy post. So I kept my pointers broad and applicable to a large swath of people and situations.
I sure as shit ain’t going to tell people “No no, you really can tell poison mushrooms apart by taste” like some people here are insisting.
No, boring news doesn’t sell. You can make boring news exciting and get viewers.
The problem is access.
You don’t get access to the biggest stories, the insiders, the interviews and the releases from major organizations without a complicated establishment within the system.
Independent journalists can do a lot but are cut out at a certain point. Only particular representatives are invited to press briefings by various organizations.
And in case nobody is reading between the lines here, getting that kind of clout and acce$$ i$ Some kind of $ecret formula that involve$ a lot of thing$ I’m probably not an expert on.
I don’t even know what you’re going off about and I am not dedicating another minute to trying to decode why you sound like a child who had their ice cream taken away when all you’ve done here is whinge at people who seem to care a lot more than you.
No, I kept it simple and gave broad guidelines for staying safe if you’re a casual browser who doesn’t know a lot. It was a well-received comment according to votes. Your comment came off contentious and pedantic and was not as well received. This is about communication not textbooks.
You’re doing a terrible job making your point, to the degree that all I can take away from your chain of headache-inducing rhetorical questions here is that you don’t like being made to feel feelings by strangers, and honestly, that’s a skill issue.
I think you’re earnest about getting the terminology right, but that’s very distracting to the broader message, which is avoiding situations where you are harmed by not knowing enough about what you’re eating. It’s counter-productive because it sounds like you’re saying my information is wrong rather than just broad.
For example:
your characterization that safe mushrooms exist. If you mean safe to eat, there are relevant specifics to consider,
This kind of pedantry is insufferable, I know you don’t mean it to be, but it turns people away from the whole topic. See: Reddit and The Fall of Unidan. You can have the best intentions and miss the train completely because you’re trying to force a conversation to use a specific language when the point of the conversation is very simple and aimed at non-experts in the field.
I know more about guns than I do mushrooms (But I do know quite a bit about both) but if I saw someone say “Don’t point the gun at something you don’t intend to shoot” I wouldn’t attack that and say “YoU MeAn ThE bARReL of tHe Gun…” it would make me sound like a clown, when everyone knows what’s trying to be communicated.
I’m really not trying to attack you here, I’m sure you know more about mushrooms than me, but I know I’m not broadly wrong for giving people advice for staying safe if they know less than either of us.
I’m getting the vibe here that you think your political involvement is supposed to either improve your life or that you’re responsible directly for positive or negative outcomes.
If you’re going to take part in a democratic process, you are assuming some level of responsibility for the outcome, but you share that with a lot of other people whether you like it or not, it’s a much larger thing than just your vote or your involvement, it’s spread across a sociological grouping, it’s fairly abstract so you shouldn’t have feelings about it, it’s just what it means to be part of a larger system.
If the idea of that responsibility bothers you, it’s a good place to think about why and what you could do to feel better about your involvement, win or lose.
I’m not following what your line of questioning is supposed to be asking or proving in this thread.
Everything you do, at home or work, is shaped by political decisions that people have made in your name, whether or not you want to be directly involved in the making of those decisions is up to you, but you’re still part of the political system by using it and benefiting from it and paying your taxes.
when i poop is that political?
The price of the toilet you use, the cost and coverage of the sewage system used to take the poop away, the question of whether or not you need to clock out of work to do that poop, what happens to the wastewater from that toilet and how your tax dollars are spent maintaining that system, are all political questions that others who had involvement with the system worked out before you, so you can shit without thinking about it.
But I promise, if anyone decided to change any of that because it became apparent people “don’t really care about politics” you would notice pretty fast.
The only way you can escape politics is if you’re literally the only person on a planet.
It’s fucking absurd that we’ve let our country run so very far from reflecting the people’s will that we can’t even talk to each other about the thing we’re all supposed to do to supposedly continue selecting that representation.
You aren’t really providing the helpful exchange you think you are here, and you are literally personifying that final point I made there.
The person I replied to was saying you can taste them to tell if they’re poisonous safely before cooking.
I don’t know if you’re reading someone else’s comment but that kind of misinformation is very, very dangerous so if you take issue with the actual words being used to try to keep people from following bad, dangerous advice. I don’t care.
To those coming in to this post to say “Wow, a billionaire shouldn’t be able to impact the outcome of geopolitical conflicts with the touch of a button!”
All I can say is…
The super wealthy have been doing this for ages, it’s just that Musk is profoundly stupid so he does it in the open.
In this post: some very confident sounding people with very, very bad ideas about how toxic mushrooms work.
Please don’t pick and eat mushrooms in the wild unless you’ve had actual experienced people teach and train you.
Also, anything toxic can be tasted safely before cooking.
Might want to edit this, you can’t taste toxins and cooking does nothing to the fungus toxin. You cannot take a bite of a raw mushroom and decide from that if it’s going to kill you.
