- dijit 1y agoSure, but I did those things too until I was “trained” (socialised).
- MonkeyClub 1y agoGood boy :) Being highly programmable is part of our distinction. You can't build any of these things, but you can learn to build all of them. Your possible pinnacle isn't just not chewing the couch.
- latexr 1y agoWe still do. How is arguing on HN, Reddit, Facebook, or any other social network different from barking at our phones? We’re doing it with our fingers instead of our mouths, but otherwise it’s pretty similar.
- latexr 1y agoMost people do or are highly susceptible to figuratively bark and fume at their phones. Doomscrolling, getting depressed by looking at lying influencers, being victims of selective arguments and rage bait… Good on dogs for not falling for that, perhaps we could learn from them. Good news is we can: just go play outside, have fun, run, throw a ball. And then turn that into a highly competitive sport, waste money and throw slaves at building stadiums to support a deeply flawed business which pits people against each other based on the colour of their shirt… No! Bad human! Sit. Can’t leave you alone for a minute without you trying to destroy everything.
