Well when you frame it like that… Sounds reasonable, but I guess that’s your point

Have you considered that you don’t have to send a full message when you mistype?
People know that happens
Why are you not fighting for this?
- Comment on Especially during this heat wave! 1 week ago:
There are places it can cost you your job, get you harassment my strangers or colleagues or just funny looks and shaming.

Even if that was somehow possible, I’m sure it’s not desirable.

As a therapist surrounded by therapists, and we all constantly notice things, it does get a bit much.

Democratic (the political concept, not the party) institutions following the law…
Not exactly the same as a government running be decree and ignoring the law?
- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 3 weeks ago:
This is exactly why I wanted one. Exactly why I then got it, and on discovering it worked exactly like I wanted, I got a better one.
If you’ve ever wished for a bigger screen on your phone…
(I love toys, gadgets and tech so for me the price point was worth it. Objectively, the higher price I don’t think is justified by the higher utility)

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 weeks ago:
Small stuff doesn’t really interest me, or my partner.
Doesn’t mean we’re incapable of discussing dinner plans or cleaning schedules.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
I still repplay now and then, there’s no game like it.
Sadly the sequals failed to capture the grace of the original, though I’ve not tried 3 yet.

Some of you will be fighting for your planet. Some of you will be dying for your planet. Some of you will be forced through a fine screen mesh for your planet. Those will be the luckiest of all.
- Comment on What games are just objective master pieces? 5 weeks ago:
My Picks…
Deus Ex (So many games try to be this and fail) Cyberpunk (This one eventually measured up) Alpha Centauri (Innovation mixed with familiarity and setting) Fallout 2 (they’re all good. Fallout 2 is special) Kotor (Star Wars story telling in a beautiful way) Baldur’s Gate 2 and 3 (I’m stunned that 3 was a worthy successor) Homeworld (One of the World’s truly beautiful games)
- Comment on I'm gay and I dunno what it means 1 month ago:
I suspect the hidden meaning is that guys apparently cheat on people who are fundamentally no different to the person they’re cheating on.
The implication being that guys cheat for the sake of it, rather than because there’s a difference in the person their with.
For clarity, I’m not saying I believe any of that. I think it sounds like utter nonsense. No doubt it’s true for some people, but I think applying it to a wider group isn’t very reasonable.
- Comment on Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? 1 month ago:
Allow me to add in an extract from the film “The Cube” which addresses this point
WORTH
It’s maybe hard for you to understand, but there’s no conspiracy. Nobody
is in charge. It’s a headless blunder operating under the illusion of a masterplan.
Can you grasp that? Big brother is not watching you.
QUENTIN
What kind of fucking explanation is that?
WORTH
It’s the best you�re gonna get. I looked and the only explanation I can
come to is that there is nobody up there.
QUENTIN
Somebody had to say yes to this thing.
WORTH
What thing? Only we know what it is.
QUENTIN
We have no idea, what it is.
WORTH
We know more than anybody else. I mean somebody might have known
sometime, before they got fired or voted out or sold it. But if this place ever had a
purpose, then it got miscommunicated or lost in the shuffle. This is an accident, a
forgotten propetual, public, worksproject. Do you think anybody wants to ask
questions? All they want is a clear conscience and a fat paycheck. I mean, I lead on
my desk for months. This was a great job!
QUENTIN
Why put people in it?
WORTH
Because it’s here. you have to use it or admit it’s pointless.
QUENTIN
But it is pointless!
WORTH
Quentin… That’s my point.
