Maybe it's the sign of the times but I honestly could not tell if the LLM was correct (that one in the authors relationship was trans) or if it was wrong and she was a lesbian.
Because we are humans and do not work like ants.

What's the irony? I don't charge you a monthly subscription fee in order to read and reading more won't cost you more either.
Re:The anti-growth state of mind on the Åland islands on Tuesday July 09, 2024 @06:00AM (#40914243)
Maybe but I do think it makes the life there more miserable for both inhabitants and those visiting.

I have lived on Gotland as mentioned in the article and it is similar in many ways but life on Gotland is way more interesting due to the tourism. You still have the calm life of the country side except that during the summer there is a little more people there.

Those people enhance the lives on Gotland because it makes life on Gotland possible for many instead for only a few. Personally I think the anti-tourism mindset is stupid and that is what I was trying to convey in the text. Of course you can think differently but that still doesn't invalidate my points.

I have visited the main island before as well, but honestly a big reason to why it is like that is because they are somewhat hostile to tourism. Yes it is small and obviously you can't expect a booming service industry but I think you could expect something at least.

If you read on their website it appears like they want visitors but yet seems to do a lot in order not to receive them. If they were more open to tourists they could probably afford more or bigger boats or simply more trips. It's not an unsolvable problem.

We just wanted to pass the islands and see it but it wasn't really feasible due to the restrictions placed. I wonder if it really has the intended effect.
