I have always been interested in visiting Japan's waterparks, but the ones in Japan are only ever open in July to September. If recent news has been any indication, Japanese Summers remain as deadly as ever.

I was wondering between July to September, is there any period where the summer heat is relatively tolerable enough so that a vacation to Japan is not a horrible idea?

A while back an author I liked to read got accused of AI. It wasn't just comment bots, but a long thread on twitter. However, unlike the claude detection skin, the evidence in the accusation was pretty unsubstantiated - em dashes, writing style, regular updates...etc. I didn't really see the supposed "solid proof" (I am good at detecting AI in art, but writing... not so good) , but I stopped reading the author for a while. I thought they wouldn't really notice anyway.

Today I went back to their latest updates, and once again, I just didn't see it. I commented on their latest chapter, and they replied that they thought I stopped reading their work, but they were glad to have me back . I felt really guilty. I didn't participate in the witch hunt, but doesn't mean I was less of a jerk for doubting her. Didn't take an idiot to tell I was also one who might have thought they were using AI, since I stopped around the time of the twitter witch hunt.

I was wondering if I should clear the air and apologise? Or would that just make things worse? Like what do I even say? "Oh I thought you were using AI, but I guess not, sorry about that?"

EDIT: thanks everybody. I’ll just STFU, show my support to the author, do some self reflection and hopefully be less of an simpleton in the future
