I don't care if it's abuse, I want it. I want to retreat from the disgusting world and society around me as much as possible and AI friends would just be another option towards that point.

I'm an introvert and sick of the increasingly closed off world. I come from a place where casual, but ultimately meaningless chats happen all the time and I enjoyed them. They were simple interactions where it didn't really matter

You're also very judgmental. My family lives far away, thankfully my phone allows me to maintain contact.

The "people" at the top in charge want nothing less than the population to be poor and dependant. There's a reason they've done everything they can to suppress wages and eliminate good jobs. Despite that here on HN you h

> and I'm also not a slave responding to calls/texts. You do you, but I enjoy talking with my friends and family and I don't see responding to them as "slavery".

I have a smartwatch and airpods, turning off Bluetooth would cause both not to work. I'm more surprised that anyone ever turns it off, battery use is negligible compared to the cellular modem as I browse the web/listen to music.

> Stop whining, be happy about what you have. I'm not whining, but I do think you should try to understand why people end up the way they do because it's almost never as simple as them being a bad person from the get go. Attitu

> it is not an excuse. Things can be a reason without being an excuse. Sure I'm not in jail and on the surface I have my act together, but my entire life has been fucked up by what are now called "ACEs" and it's a mir

Why not? Stimulants are the best thing known to man. There's a reason people enjoy them so much.

It is without a doubt. It's baffling to me that people smoke when things like snus exist. Far, far safer than smoking, much cleaner, and it doesn't impact those around you. Nicotine is a great drug that the world largely insists o

> Wow, that sounds like third-world kind of treatment. My first thought was that sounded exactly like here in Canada.

I'm terrified of machinery and give it the upmost respect without having watched gore content.

Why watch this kind of thing? I don't get it and frankly it disgusts me that people do.

> It does not weigh heavier, and I wish people would stop repeating this. They keep saying it because to most people they absolutely do weigh heavier. Very, very few average people are going to agree with what you just said.

I'm not that guy, but I don't have to like it. I'm not skilled at anything else and I couldn't make this much money in any other career. Most people will never enjoy their work, but I can dislike my work while being far

We can already see this starting to happen today. It's not going to be the amazing future techies on here imagine, in reality it looks quite bleak.

On one single occasion I said this at work without thinking about it. I'd been working exclusively with Indian devs for months and it just slipped out. Thankfully it was taken well.

I don't think you can pile everyone into a handful of platforms and get good communication. There's too many opposing viewpoints, too much crossover, and too much intermingling. Forums didn't have the same issue because they

My only reaction is: so? Silencing people isn't going to make them stop thinking things and preventing discussion won't make them Good(TM) people. The entire internet doesn't need to be sanitized.

I can tell how young your are by this comment. Just wait until you get older, you will need them.

Sites like this still exist, though some of the more notable examples have heavily deplatforming attempts against them. The old internet is dead and most people and organizations abhor the idea of anonymity and anonymous (free) speech.

I am talking about unionizing. Workers deserve better than what they've got and the deserve the protection against a company a union brings.

And for some reason we as employees continue to let companies abuse us, despite having the option to fight back. I am so bitter and jaded when it comes to this entire system.

At the expense of relationships and the ability to form them. Being on the spectrum is not a good thing, it seriously messes up parts of your life.

Xeyes, Xcalc, and the like are probably the closest we'll get to eternal GUI programs.

Freedom and privacy are rapidly going to become a thing of the past. You won't be able to escape even if you attempt to. The world is becoming a disgusting place and I want none of it anymore.

I love threads like this, it's so stereotypical JS. OP asks if it's the de-facto choice which it objectively is, but everyone recommends their pet project or favourite library instead.

Generally they were, there's a lot more feral "people" these days.

I hate the community, so I'm one of those folks. I stay here because occasionally something interesting pops up and because I have literally nothing else to do.
