It is far more empathetic and fair to acknowledge people's genetic disadvantages and adjust expectations accordingly, than to demand everyone competes at the same level. Which is why women have their own sports leagues instead of being

People in this thread are conflating "phone" and "smartphone". You can just carry a cheap dumbphone and it works for texting people or emergency calls just fine.

All OpenGL does it draw triangles. Once you get through the process of drawing a triangle on the screen then you're learnt 70% of the core of OpenGL. I think you're making the incorrect assumption of "wow if it takes this lon

I just use a £15 nokia phone (they still make them). It calls, texts, and plays snake. Texting on a T9 keyboard is slow but I've come to consider that a feature. Before I had a smartphone I would just text everyone, now that texting ta

Someone introduced me to the same idea a few years ago and it really stuck with me, "the only time people in the modern world experience boredom is in the 15 seconds before they pull out their smartphone". It's in moments of

I agree completely, the only reliable way to quit using a smartphone is to stop carrying one. I don't know why we apply such different thinking to digital addictions than physical ones. You would never tell someone who was trying to qu

The problem is that you see yourself as a completely isolated individual rather than a continuation of your ancestor's genetics. You don't have a "random dice roll of DNA", you have a very specific lineage of DNA passed
