You definitely should read the whole article. The author says that wrapping ideas in words at later stages is important to complete the process of inventing. It's all about the initial processing, to free your mind from language's

What do you mean by "children's data"? What data? Suppose I'm 11, I'm not registered at Imgur, and I'm only browsing, what sort of vulnerable data they have to protect? Browser's user agent, IP address, sc

I think UK government would be amazed, especially now when they try to force identity verification wherever possible. Do you know what UK citizens do instead? They use VPNs to tackle that. It's not a problem with people hiding their id

Unless you have a physical switch, you can't trust that a toggle button will actually disable or enable a feature. It wouldn't be the first time UK government tried to push some sort of backdoor. It isn't particularly difficu

Do you have a basic knowledge how those apps work? Both people must swipe right. If the German girl isn't interested in dating with non-German, she can just swipe left. No time wasted.

Back when the internet was a nice place, I mean years 1999-2010, it was full of websites managed by individuals. Each site was different, some were pretty-hideous, quite frequently with unusual knowledge and curiosities. It was so much fun

Interesting. Did you swap your face on a computer, and pointed the smartphone camera on the monitor?

When I'm working, I'm focused on the task. When I'm driving, I'm focused on the road. In the gym, I'm focused on doing exercises properly. I don't fancy listening to talks mindlessly. What's the point? If

I'd appreciate an article that I can read in peace while drinking my coffee in quiet.

Same. However, I had a few encounters where I was scared initially that I won't know what to say, and the talk will be quiet and weird, but my freshly met partner was so into the chat that I had problems cutting into. It was fun. Remem

Yes, we tend to remember negative experiences better than the good ones. Also, we all are so low on good emotions, we don't want to risk losing them to random strangers.

by a5c11 1y ago
True. It's so hard nowadays to go out with a friend to grab a beer or a coffee. They don't feel the urge because they satisfy social interactions online, and they think it's enough. Well, it's undoubtedly simpler that wa

No reason to feel sorry for others. Follow your path, don't look behind.

There are societies, however, where words aren't (shouldn't be) treated emotionally, like engineers and scientists. Engineers put priority on ease of communication and clarity. We just do the job, we didn't ask for DEI lectur

It's usually pushed by people who want to feel "modern" and "proper". It doesn't have any value added, never helped anyone other than people who pushed that. The curious thing about the word "slave" i

There are places where one should mute the phone, like cinemas, offices, cafes, etc. Other than that, I'd like to hear when someone is trying to reach me.

Sounds funny, unless you are young looking and went to a store without ID to buy a pair of scissors. Happened to me, but I've managed to convince the staff that I'm old enough to cut the letters from a newspaper.

Under the main link (the big, bold one) there is a link to what precisely has been blocked. Apparently, it's enough for them to just geoblock specific subreddits, like: dark humour, bowel surgeries, some porn stuff, etc.

You don't quite understand the meaning of "symptom" and "illness", do you? Obesity - symptom. Usually the illness is a bad diet, lack of movement, or very rarely some serious health condition. Instead of targeting o
