I wonder how many people out there are like me and don't follow influencers at all. If anything, I consider influencers a net negative on society.

On a cosmic scale, the survival even of this entire star system doesn't matter in the slightest.

But to me, personally, I am rather unnerved by current events.

Context is everything. We do not experience life as the cosmos, we experience it as individuals.

The article barely touches on fish. It suggests fish, eggs, and dairy are mostly fine, but doesn't explicitly say that.

Journalists and influencers are two very different things, friend. Any jackass with a YouTube channel or Instagram account can be an influencer. Journalism requires education, investigative and literary skill, and vetting.

I don't trust BYD any farther than I can throw them, but the world really needs more small cars. This competition will help drive that, I think.

I had to look up what a kei car was, though. Apparently it's the tiniest car class in Japan.

We're using the word "influencer" differently here. You're using it the literal way - "one who influences." The version I'm using is narrower in scope.

But if you insist on using your terminology, then I'll refer to them not as "influencers" but rather "social media attention whores." Does that make you feel better?

What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?

This is the way.

Perhaps this is an argument over semantics, rather than anything substantive.

When I say "influencer," I'm referring to a class of people whose lives revolve around producing performative content on social media that does not meaningfully add to society.

If you want to look at a fun language that relies far more heavily on context than English, search for Toki Pona. It's a neat "toy" language!

There are also influencers who care only about themselves, like those who like to stomp around in other people's gardens without permission in order to get a "good photo" for their followers.
