So the crux of this article is that kids shouldn't go to college because they feel like they are meant to but they should go because it makes sense for their personal goals and I agree. I have long held the belief that America needs mo

Completely disagree. Tiktok, Instagram, and Snap are fundamentally different platforms.

What would make a replacement better in your eyes? Anything that reaches critical mass in the public will have the same sort of censoring and filtering.

People seem to think that if Twitter dies, Mastodon will rise up or that we will return to forums or something. If Twitter dies a bunch of replacements will rise up until one of them is ordained as the winner and everyone moves to that new

Fully in favor of this. I recently had to cancel a subscription that had no "cancel subscription" button and instead forced you to contact customer service so they could try to sell you on discounts and etc. No, just let me cancel

Here is an article that references several studies but a search including 'loneliness and health' will bring up dozens of studies. https://www.brainandlife.org/articles/how-loneliness-affects...

Funny that you ask this. I recall reading about this a while ago although I can't find what I was reading. Apparently this is called "ego suicide." Killing your original self and letting the personality you created takeover y

This is a tangent but why do you think The Four Agreements is not worth reading. Its been on my reading list for a while.

You are taking an extreme "trust everything or trust nothing" position that I didn't make. I'm saying China has in the past spread misinformation about covid even denying that it even existed when in the first place. Peo

I'm not taking a side on whether or not deaths could've been averted but I would be very skeptical of data coming out of China.

2 big differences SARS didn't explode all over the globe and if you got SARS your fate was decided very quickly. Covid can be very mild or even asymptomatic making it easy to miss.

I always use the mute switch on my microphone and not the mute switch in software.

People saying "let kids be kids." Kids don't make a big deal out of something until their parents make a big deal out of something. America has such a weird relationship with sex education or sex in general.

I work in Agtech and this is not exactly true. At least not true in terms of big farms. They always work at capacity, in fact one of the reasons Covid hit agriculture supply chains so hard is that they had no extra capacity.

Didn't have gun range muffs but I did something similar for a few years before buying my ANC headphones. I had a broken pair of over-ear headphones and under them I wore a pair of IEMs. Did the job pretty well.

Anecdata but I recently got headphones with noise cancelling and my quality of life shot through the roof. According to my smartwatch, my heart rate is lower and stress levels are down. Unfortunately, I have to take my headphones off to go

The problem is the lack of discipline the author has in the first place will just lead them to turning off airplane mode "every once in a while" until they just leave it off and are back to start.

I find it weird that you find this weird. Most people I know and know of optimize like this. They are in it for the cash and trying to make as much as possible and then get out as soon as possible. Doesn't matter what the impact is, do

Is it hard to imagine that a single sentence in the installer about sex offends you so much that you refuse to use the software? Yeah that's kinda hard for me to imagine.

If this is a very common question, Mastodon could probably use some sort of FAQ on their site if they are hoping to reach the unwashed masses like myself.

Mastodon is something I want to like but it honestly find it complicated and annoying to use. Do I need a new account for each instance being the main question? If so that just sounds tedious. It's one the main benefits of Reddit, need

I wonder do people who work for Twitter, Facebook, etc ever have thoughts about what they actually doing. Do they have the "are we the baddies" moment in their head? Do people who make Facebooks shadow profiles or insert tracking

Someone will correct me but I thought the gap between men and women pay was due to the fact that men are more likely to negotiate for pay than women?

I wanna shout out XP-Pen here. They are much cheaper than Wacom and they also have first-party Linux drivers.

> developers did not inform them That's not how this works. Mastodon has an AGPL license on their repo. The burden is on you to read and follow the license. If your devs don't tell you they were illegally ripping code then you

It is not an instance, it was a clone or if you want to be generous you can call it a fork. A fork that did not abide by the Mastodon license. https://techcrunch.com/2021/10/29/mastodon-issues-30-day-ult...

Sorry buddy, I can't give you anything other than my anecdata. No knowledge on whether anyone has done any studies on this specifically but lack of public infrastructure contributing to the income disparity has been widely studied.
