These photos are AI generated and the person doesn't exist.

Gone are the days when AI-generated pictures had six-fingered hands. Yes, you can still find things that aren't right, even in these 4 pictures, but — let's be honest — if I didn't tell you they're AI generated in the first sentence, you'd probably assume they're real photos. (I know I would.)

Start teaching everyone you know that it's safest to assume that photos aren't real.

Good comeback. Checks many boxes of how to respond to comments of this kind:

- call out their bullshit
- respond with kindness
- craft your message not with the edgelord in mind, but write it for the rest of the community (the edgelord will hate it anyway, so no need to pander to them)

Píšu dopis synovi na tábor a rozhodl jsem se tentokrát pro něco trochu jiného: formulář. Dovedlo mě k tomu to, že mám po ruce jen takové ty oficiální obálky, co člověk jinak dostává jenom z úřadů a korporací.

Třeba se to někomu bude hodit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mWWEMdw_8YxNTUU7xRDNsmxUmXZxl5LnnrXDG_Z_ufQ/edit?usp=sharing

I grew up in actual #socialism, behind the Iron Curtain, and I find it a little bit worrying to see all these cool people promoting socialism these days.

I was reminded today about the sad fact that atmospheric CO₂ levels are still not slowing. At all.

It's sad and uncomfortable to accept. But being cynical or in denial about it is — in my opinion — just a sign of weakness.

Some efficient ways to fight CO₂ rise:

- civic engagement (actually vote, pressure companies, etc.)
- moderate heating / AC
- fly less, drive less
- limit red meat
- limit food waste
- limit buying shiny new things (repair or buy second hand instead)
