Don’t pretend you’re waiting for retirement.

How do you know it isn’t actually Eden, but you just focus on all the wrong things to see it?

Trying to push the entire world’s population into the same spaces. Sometimes, it actually does make sense to have spaces specifically for those with common experiences, like men’s and women’s spaces, or nationally segregated political spaces.

Social media NEEDING new content by the minute simply in order to survive.

Heavy reliance on volunteer moderation.

Bingo.

The only people you actually end up reaching are people with good intentions who don’t need to hear it in the first place. “Stop taking advantage of people” is a message which can usually be dispensed only by force. The moral panic over “toxic masculinity” did very little to affect those who actually caused problems, but a great deal to disenfranchise those who would actually make bad actors stop taking advantage of others.

They destroyed far more than just America, everyone’s just too myopically focused on America’s problems to notice what they’ve done to themselves by attempting to copy the digitization of society.

Whoops. Accidentally suppressed discussions regarding the accidental suppression of discussions. Those darned silly technical glitches are just so unpredictable.

Collective punishment

Are ad blockers to blame?

Why do you make me hit you?

I just started cooking for myself. Began simply with pizza from scratch. Dough and sauce are both easy to make from raw ingredients, and the result is far better than frozen or delivery.

Pretty sure

I wasn’t being silly. They’ve literally been pushing that argument.

On the off chance that you’re serious, methane also breaks down incredibly fast, so it’s a complete non issue regardless of how much they produce.

Neither the position to keep all the old solutions because they are old nor to adopt all the new solutions because they are new is sensible.

That’s what really bothers me about it. I actually got an education in STEM and was really hyped to contribute to building new technologies, until I came to understand that the people leading the charge appear to be hardliners driving as forcefully as they can to implement a completely artificial world right here and now.

They’re already attacking agriculture for the existential threat of cow farts.

The more I’ve learned about technology, the more hardline I’ve become against having it in my life.

The world is not a blank slate to paint on. Every new thing that you add to your life takes away something which used to be there in previous generations, and the consequences of such can be far reaching and unpredictable. Society as it was, was not built overnight through deliberate intention, but was hard won by millennia of blood, sweat and tears. Changing everything now on the whims of fully grown toddlers who are so wealthy that they’ve never even been aware of the existence of the real world is the peak of insanity.

Well the country didn’t previously have a legion of mouth breathing retards screaming at the top of their lungs about micro-aggressions and declaring that the nation was illegitimate. I’d also question your metrics for deciding now that he’s an openly Nazi dictator, other than parroting what you hear from other people social media accounts.

While I also disagree with the claim that technology is “fundamentally” insecure

For pretty much everyone other than perhaps the CIA and Mosad, it is.

Computer technology is fundamentally insecure so long as everything is connected all the time. It drives me mental that idiots keep trying to foist the whole of human society onto devices which are clearly unfit for the task.

No, not like that!

Nah man. Everyone criticizing their decisions are just racist, homophobic, bigots. Now be a good little peasant and go fight the other peasants while daddy Marduk rapes Tiamat for fun and profit.
