"T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) introduced the next big thing in wireless — T-Mobile Starlink — to tens of millions of football fans. Now in public beta, this breakthrough service, developed in partnership with Starlink [...]"

- all2 2y agoAh, yeah, he's making the 'this is mental illness' argument that has been a mainstay in psychology for the last century or so. Mainstream acceptance was slow up until the last 10 years or so. I doubt he'll succeed in his efforts. I don't think he cares as much as the people he's targeting care.

- alwa 2y agoI have yet to meet a person who regrets having successfully weaned themselves off the news-cycle dopamine treadmill. If anything, I find that they tend to be better informed and more thoughtful than they were when they wasted cycles on the carnival. Might just be me though.
- fragmede 2y agoWhile I encourage everyone to opt out of the sensationalized news cycle and prioritize their own mental health, people who aren't paying attention aren't better informed, because the news is actively being censored by their billionaire owners, so it takes a lot of effort to be fully informed, and no, remembering a few things they heard off of Joe Rogan doesn't make them well informed.

- fragmede 2y agoThe copper market sold me copper, some of which was low quality, some of which was high quality. But instead of continuing to shop at the whole market and developing any sense of what is quality, I've decided to go exclusively to Joe's Best Copper. He tells me his stuff is the best. I don't go to anyone else now so I have no way of comparing it to anything else. Anyway, there's no possible way he could be lying to me, I'm way too smart for than.
- yongjik 2y agoWell that's a bit of conceptual selection bias, isn't it? Good for their mental health, but you cannot regret something if you don't know what you're missing. There must have been 1930s Europeans who checked out of all those news about Hitler, after all. Must have been much better for their peace of mind, until one day suddenly it wasn't.
- cruffle_duffle 2y agoNope. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make. It’s pure propaganda that has absolutely no positive impact at all.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoSo many here are in agreement that queer erasure is occurring you're saying that being informed about it happening can have no positive impact at all? How should we fight against something if we ignore that it is even happening?
