Ah ok so we should start doing the things China does then? I think them banning social media platforms is also bad when the bans are just done for the sake of monopolizing social media platforms under the control of the government. Decentralized platforms like this are a nice way around that but most people aren’t gonna use them. So having platforms based in different countries to allow different perspectives on stories like with Israel/Palestine is good. Cause if we can only access American social media platforms you know they’re just gonna fully suppress coverage on issues that America and various lobbying groups don’t want to be talked about.

The problem is this doesn’t apply across the board. Why is it only illegal if they’re selling it to a foreign company? It should be illegal to sell it full stop. This just gives the US government a monopoly on the information which I’m more afraid of than a foreign country having my data since I live here and they can directly affect me.

That makes sense considering in the past knowing who your town’s baker or other role was mattered. Now a days you don’t really know the names of the people you get food and things from so it’s shifted now to more relationship based.

We had them too but at least for me in elementary school I didn’t really care what time it was. I remember I knew what position on the clock meant school was done but other then that didn’t really need to read it cause the teachers would just bring us as a class to whatever our next class was for that day. By the time I got old enough to start caring smartphones were prevalent enough that I never really needed to learn how to read a clock. It wasn’t until highschool where teachers got more strict about enforcing no phones out in class that I then learned how to read clocks so I could know when class would be done.

The problem is unless you really use the skill a lot you’re not really gonna learn it from school. I had to teach myself how to read analog clocks in highschool cause even though I’m pretty sure I learned it in elementary school I grew up with computers and eventually smart phones so I never had to use it.

Edit: Also for context I was born in 2001

Most of the shopping I’ve been helping people with lately has been for laptops. And while there are slightly more AMD options then before laptops are still dominated by Intel for the most part. Especially if you’re trying to help someone pick something while on a tighter budget.

Just make them pay you a dollar for the service. Now it’s not giving it away since you are technically getting something out of it.

For me it’s always the other way around, I get a fry in my onion rings.

Yeah except with there being only 27 stores in the US that use this tech if you have 1000 people reviewing the purchases is it really a machine learning system or are you just outsourcing the process to people in another country.

I’m pretty sure this is that motivational quote generator that’s been around for a while, don’t remember the link to it.

Yeah but I doubt it’s the developers going after emulators like this. It’s the higher ups and legal teams I imagine.

I mean honestly I’m fine with people saying they don’t like a game they haven’t played as long as they have some kind of valid reason. Nothing makes me more angry though then someone saying a game is bad or they don’t like it “because the fandom is cringe/bad.” Like sure for multiplayer games a bad community can be a fair reason to not like a game but most of the time these comments are about single player games. Which just makes me angry cause no one is forcing you to be involved in a fandom or talk about this game online. Just play it on your own and avoid the online stuff if it really bothers you that much.

I feel like Reddit atleast had more other stuff to dilute the news and politics stuff. But without a lot of the smaller communities from Reddit that used to contribute to my home page it feels like all I get is memes and news.

I think he’s talking about all non-suv or trucks in the US being small or underpowered. Not other country cars being small.

It’s not the drinking milk thats weird. It’s the fact that they would have to be farming milk from intelligent animals to get it. Like if cows could talk and were as smart as humans I think people would find farming milk from them a little weird.
