  • There is only so much you as an individual can do. We live in a society that is designed to make most of us completely dependent on an oligarchic class. Even in the imperial core the treats are drying up because the ruling class is scraping the sides of the peanut butter jar for profits. This is late stage capitalism.

    Do what you can to ensure the safety of yourself and those you love.

    Get involved in your community, build networks and rapport with people that can help solidify the environment around you. Get very local.

    Beyond all that, survive. The people doing these things above all want to destroy anyone different.

    Surviving and continuing to be yourself is one of the biggest "fuck you"s that you can hand to them.

  • You should be very aware of the sources for any food that is typically inspected also.

    Meats can be easily contaminated in uninspected processing plants.

    Fruits and vegetables can be fertilized with human feces that is contaminated with things like e coli. This is particularly insidious when you consider how often these items are consumed raw.

    Working with co-op farm organizations in your area that have a good reputation can help mitigate this.

    Lastly, you can grow as much of your own food as possible, this can be a pretty low effort endeavor with things like kratky method hydroponics. Community gardens are great.

    If you have some dirt you can grow some food.

  • I don't hate people so much as I prefer trees and animals to people.

    I enjoy my chosen people, but even then, I don't have unlimited tolerance for social interaction. I still require quiet and people free space.

    I'm the kind of person who enjoys living within 10 miles or so of a big enough sized town that we have robust services and amenities, but small enough that 10 miles feels sufficiently isolated that it's possible for me to spend a day seeing only flora and fauna.

    I'm aware that I'm extremely inefficient in that way, but being human is rarely about efficiency.

    I assume this applies to owls as well.

  • They don't actually exhibit these characteristics. They simulate them by stringing the proper words together in sequence. There is no understanding or deeper capability and analysis. There's no actual intelligence.

    As a translation utility it's quite powerful, but anything outside of that extremely narrow space is only "shaped" like a real response, there's no underlying rationale other than statistical analysis of word frequency.

    This doesn't magically change with a large enough scale applied, it only takes on conversational meta-patterns. This fools non-experts in specific categories into trusting the "analysis" it provides, even though it is incapable of providing coherent analysis.
