Ogmios

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.

Way too many people treat life like a movie, where anything other than gripping emotional drama is just stumbled through with eyes glazed over.

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.

Right, gottcha. So Current Year politics states that those who advocate for replacing white people are white supremacists.

And you actually expect anyone to take you seriously?

You’re calling the guy who recently advocated for replacing white people with Indians a white supremacist?

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.

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.

suspended reality

You are correct. There is a lot going on under the surface that has yet to see the light of day. I recommend rethinking your concept of political factions and working on learning more about how the real world works. It’s going to be rough.

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.

This video evokes a strange feeling in me. It’s super cool to get to watch and listen to a meteorite strike… but I’ve also developed a strong revulsion towards the concept of surveillance, of any kind. It’s a weird conflict of emotions.

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.
