Yes unless we talk about kids. They have no life experience, defenses, and are very vulnerable to skilled manipulative attacks. They form various addictive behavioral patterns pretty quickly. Just look around how many kids are properly addi

Sure if you build and restrict your life around no car, then its doable. Very restricted. Also that part about cost being cheaper ain't true - I have that half tariff. For going somewhere, anywhere, its the same cost (+ saving tons of

Its like Tesla's FSD killing people. The threshold for acceptance of fuckups is very small, especially when you don't do anything wrong and there is a lot of needless humiliation. Why risk it? There are actually nice welcoming pla

A defining pillar of a society is either a very strong common goal or enemy. US supplanted both, so yeah actually thank you for that. My 2 cents - wanted to take family on a trip to western US, parks and maybe SF, not in fucking hell now or

Nope and nope, same rules are for all. You want to steal private data, you will be labeled. If it comes from libs, maybe don't use shitty private data stealing libs? Move fast and break things - fuck that, anybody smart enough can proj

OK so he and his cronies intentionally crash global economy to buy cheaply. How come absolutely nobody stands to them? If he would be dictator in 3rd world country, half of his military or personal guard would want to kill him. Then you hav

This banks on people's selfishness. I above everybody else. My kids will rule others, outlive them, outsmart them. Extremely dangerous mindset, but very common among power brokers and billionaires (and not only). They are not nice pe

Yeah, some loss, a very visible one. But what we are losing now is much bigger, albeit much harder to point finger on and quantify. Some inner quality and strength that probably doesnt even have a name. Most people never even thought about

Extremism on any side is bad, period. 'But they are worse' is sort of moot point and most people don't care about details, you simply lose normal audience and maybe gain some fringe.
