please read up on the effects of using AI on our water and electricity bills, water supply in small communities, and the effects on the brain after just 3 months of use

using AI for everything directly effects black and brown communities who live next to the plants that sustain the AI. the plants are also intentionally placed in these communities because the state doesn’t care about them. it’s environmental racism and necropolitics - who gets slated for death

this is crazy honestly, it has been so public for so long that mcdonald’s supports israel. genuinely if you don’t know already it’s because you haven’t taken the effort to educate yourself, so you probably don’t care that much anyway. i know you meant this in good faith, and i appreciate you asking, but the lack of effort you have put in to educating yourself is really unfortunate

i’d apologize but i don’t think you’d care to accept it based on that. i don’t eat fast food, so no… i don’t keep up with boycotts on things that i already don’t buy. thanks for the answer i guess😭

it’s not a priority or pressure target of the BDS list. it was an organic boycott that BDS supports. and boycotts lose a lot of their bite when spread too thin. focus on amazon, google, teva, sodastream. most fast food places are a secondary concern

i have seen mcdonald’s being mentioned all over social media for MONTHS. maybe even over a year. just because it’s not on a special list doesn’t mean it’s not very public information. it’s not that hard to avoid getting a big mac

also teva and sodastream being a bigger concern than fast-food to you is crazy. people eat fast food way more than they’re buying that bull shit

idk if you’re still referring to me. but i’d like to reiterate, i do not eat fast food. i haven’t eaten mcdonald’s in years. i was just asking a question.

i am talking generally, i’m responding to the other person who said it doesn’t matter if we boycott fast-food because it’s a “secondary concern”

teva and sodastream are literally israeli companies,,,

Anonymous #2 4w

yes and people should avoid them, duh, but people aren’t there nearly as frequently as they’re at mcdonald’s, so we should probably focus our energy equally at the multi billion dollar conglomerations that are incredibly popular and funding them as well

literally like. i can cut people a bit of slack for teva bc you don’t really get to pick and choose what manufacturer your pharmacist fills your prescription for, but it’s still a specific company listed as a “pressure target.” this statement isnt meant to exculpate mcdonald’s, but it also isn’t a priority

Anonymous #8 4w

where did i say don’t boycott it? i just said it’s a secondary concern. there are companies listed as priority by the BDS and mcdonald’s isn’t one. a boycott is more effective when it is more precise and targeted than just “boycott everything” because there is a level of fatigue the average person will develop. some companies are worse than others and need to be treated as such

you’re saying that people should be more concerned with soda stream, a company that a very minuscule amount of people support, rather than arguably the most popular fast food chain. that’s crazy to me but go off i guess

i called it some list because you’re also being incredibly dismissive, your response was “i saw it on social media so it’s true”, implying that mcdonald’s being a place you should boycott isn’t actually true.

also want to follow up on this, you follow this list like it’s gospel thinking you’re helping palestinians, but god forbid someone say you should boycott a company that they deem a “secondary concern”(still a concern). interesting imo. unrelated, how much money have you donated to palestinian aid? how many protests have you been to?

1. i am living paycheck to paycheck rn but go off on how monetary support is directly tied to whether or not you care abt things 2. i live in an area that is very quick to arrest protestors and i want you to think for just a second about what happens to trans women in men’s jail, even if its very short term 3. i don’t remember the last time i got mcdonald’s but ok lmao. what other places are you avoiding? what gas stations do you use? who made your computer? there are plenty of places to avoid

1. so am i, i am WELL below the poverty line and still donate $5 when i can 2. even if you can’t be at the front lines you can go to a protest, i am also trans and i go to protests as often as i can, it is VERY unlikely you get arrested at a protest if you stay away from the front lines, the media exaggerates it to keep us off the streets 3. i try everyday to avoid brands that support israel, and i don’t own a car or computer, but good try!

No especially coming after you for “not being educated” my average screen time is 2-3 hours bc of school & work. I haven’t been active on social media in awhile, & when I am I’m not on there long enough to really see anything besides updates from friends & how their life is. I finally have a few minutes, but I stay busy & mentally drained which is causing another depressive episode

Anonymous #14 4w

So coming after you for asking a question, not knowing what you may be going through is uncalled for. Also asking the question is making an effort to educate yourself, I myself didn’t know about the McDonald’s boycott, but now I know bc of your question, so when I do get spare time, I can research.

people like you are an issue. they asked a question in good faith and you decide to go on the attack for some other reason. crazy concept but a lot of people dont find out the same information at the same time as you and its okay as long as they are asking and willing to learn

which is exactly my point. people aren't being realistic about what its gonna take to actually achieve a better world. you can't just ostracize people that dont 100% agree with you

lmfao brother the effect that’s having on energy and water usage is marginal at best. and i don’t eat meat but nice try. genuinely it’s not that hard to look things up yourself, and you’ll get a more well rounded answer if you do your own digging. chatgpt is often wrong or misleading, you’re hurting the planet and yourself. also relying on it can reduce your brain activity. literally.

Anonymous #8 4w

Everyone in the first world is hurting the planet. The environmental case against AI is weaker than the environmental case against cars and meat. Using Yik Yak takes energy too. Chatgpt is good for pulling hard to find information and to get a quick overview of the details. Yes, it is good to follow up with your own review, and to challenge and question what AI says. But I would say AI can be a good starting point.

I tried it instead of Citation Machine just last night. Just one APA citation. It hallucinated 50% of it. Made up fake authors and everything. You are refusing to acknowledge the part you play in destroying our planet by relying on AI and are attempting (and failing) to use half-assed logical fallacies to lash out at those of us calling you out on your shitty behavior when discussing the topic.
