Here’s to hoping this comments’ downvotes get an explanation or I’m assuming they’re just coming from nazis without a dignified retort \_ (ツ)_/¯

If this isn’t a thing, I would like it to be a thing soon in the future

With the most expertise in this thread, may I ask your take on matrix vs irc horribleness?

My crystal ball just keeps saying 'try again’🤔

Asking for a friend,
Who in that thumbnail?

rule 34 says at least half

Took the words out me mouth perfectly

when the memes start really only talking to you in particular…

How long was it down? I thought I was an idiot and setup on another instance lol

Both sides having valid points is almost always the case with issues of any complexity. I’m very curious to know why there isn’t a sweeping trump card that ultimately deems one side as significantly more ethical than the other

Great analysis tho–very thankful for the excellent breakdown unless you used ai to do it or if that ai is ultimately not justifying the means adequately. No actually I’m thankful regardless but I’m still internally conflicted by the unknown

radiation exists in like everything to some small degree tho right?

Humbly requesting an explanation for the polarized takes on this. How are we so specifically split 50/50 rejoicing for the utility and cursing the ‘slop’ at the same? Someone sway me to a side? I’m addicted to reserving judgement

why do we do this? Is it an american thing?

You have now anti-sold me and hyper-enlightened me with some very worthwhile wisdom. I can not say thank you enough–I truly need more like you in my life

It’s always hegel. It’s always a fundamental impossibility that exists in everything. Has there really been 0 philosophers of any merit since Hegelian dialectics?

You are selling me mr. Fudge. I still need to do a lotta research but you are def sellin me here

Do you really not see an issue with the approach being taken here? You’re looking for resources that you assume will help you, but in the spirit of the matrix movies, “You can’t see past the decisions you haven’t made yet.”

The brain hasn’t evolved to retain information it doesn’t deem useful. I guess what I’m really getting at is, how can you be confident that anything supplied here will be retained if you were previously unaware you even needed to know in the first place? Don’t underestimate the value of deep learning via experience rather than preparation imho. I promise I’m not shade-throwing, I was much like you when I was younger and have a couple similar reddeet posts, and it was mostly wasteful preparing to prepare nonsense if that makes sense.

I respect these words of wisdom immensely as someone who should have had a mentor spell this out for me years ago. I’m not trying to bothsides you at all because I agree with you 99%. I just wanted to add a few niche areas like appliance/car/repairs/etc, videoform can be lifesavingly convenient in pinches But most importantly reading is fundamental

It certainly feels like it is judging by the general moodshifts occuring. But I’m a moron, what alternative exists for a secure phone of comparable functionality? It feels like ditching phones is the only option to some extent(for me). If stupid, isn’t the phone the most vulnerable weakpoint open to attack?

as a panicked graphene enjoyer, does oneplus measure up as a decent alternative or no?
