I think you’re missing a little /s or similar there to denote you’re joking, right?

Remember that organic doesn’t mean no pesticides were used, but instead that the pesticides are “natural”. Some natural pesticides are worse than synthetic.

My initial reaction was to agree. Of course it’s all rubbish! Then I thought to take a few minutes to challenge my assumptions. Could actually good reality television exist? I found only two examples.

First is Nailed It, which is far less dramatic, more fun, and designed so that all contestants will fail but they are aware of this going in.

Second is Sasuke, known as Ninja Warrior outside of Japan.

That’s it. The rest is shite.

It must be corn, it’s the only grass I can think of that grows tall enough for that horse’s lofty station.

Sharon Osborne can fuck off. She’s only notable because she rode Ozzy’s coattails, and only then because of rubbish reality TV.

By combining related and unrelated, reasonable and ridiculous examples, the unwary might think you made a legitimate argument. Instead, you made a straw man, probably without even realizing it, and it provides a great exemple of what this article is talking about.

Humans aren’t born with a robust mental skill set, so skills must be learned. If they are not learned, are learned poorly, or decline due to disuse, then functional intellectual performance suffers. AI use supplements or replaces multiple key skills, particularly relevant here the communication of complex concepts and critical thinking.

Critical thinking skills are, well, critical. Using critical thinking, I look at your comment and ask “does this comment make sense? Does listening to Donald Trump inherently mean letting him think for me? Could cognitive skill atrophy due to disuse be resisted by ‘not being a pushover’? Greatest of all, did this person read the fucking article?”

Answer key: no; LOL WTF nooo; obviously not.

You’re the numpty that leaves “Don’t like Chinese, never been. 1/5 stars” reviews for a Vietnamese restaurant, aren’t you?

The post is a shared link. The comments are about the link’s content. Responding critically about something you never read is like leaving a review for a restaurant you’ve never visited.

Yeah, they’re trolling. Their bait is just a bit too obvious.

You’ve got to be trolling.

Hey all, I’m an absolutely massive wanker, just wanted to share!

Edit: oof, check that post history for more.

You do realize you’re on the internet, right? You can look things up first instead of spouting bullshit.

It’s MAGOO logic - feelings over facts. Even fucking CBS News has it straight.

LOL

Why not?

I can’t believe Lemmy is getting corporate spam now! We’re growing up!

Also, fuck corporate spammers.

He wasn’t sucking Putin’s knob, so probably.

Don’t you besmirch my fediwife’s good name!

Well said!

They turned me into a frog since I was already gay.

Mmmm, giant cinnamon fetus.
