No, the suggestion "only" works for those of your friends who truly value you. If they want to connect with you, they'll find a way. If they don't, they won't.

Where there's a will, there's a way. If your friends want to, they'll find you.

That's a nice idea, but then there are all of the times we've started paying for services to have an ad-free experience, only to then have them toss ads back into the mix.

This is getting down voted, but it's true. I've ditched those forms of social media, and haven't really had trouble keeping in touch with most people I'd like to keep in touch with, whether it's emails, calls, texts

If you're too lazy to read the literature, then just don't take it. Going to something that frequently hallucinates or misstates things to the point where it's "trust, but verify by reading the source" means you may

>That doesn't sound any better. It doesn't, because "it was so common to", as OP stated, is not the same thing as "you were supposed to". There's no reason it should be corrected, it's accurate.

It's flawed criticism because it's rooted in an all-or-nothing perspective.

There's a lot more nuance to the "natural" conversation than the assumption that we should go back to stone tools and all die before we hit 25. I've not really seen someone with that general belief, and I'm one of t

There's nuance, though. You're right in that they can get a general layout of the rooms in the home, but a mapped layout from a device like this gives them a lot more detailed information - where large objects are that potential t

Or making wild generalizations about how men in Oregon only work in farming and fishing when those industries actually only comprise less than 10% or the workforce. I don't think folk should bother debating with this user, I don't

What wildly inaccurate generalizations about an entire state. Try being less closed-minded.

I've felt something similar about the internet for a very long time. Time and again I've seen people talk about how they don't have a lot of friends, or that it's hard to make friends, or social interactions are a strugg

As others have echoed elsewhere in these responses, this idea can very easily be applied to the broader internet (eg, your Google searches) as well. Not everything is answered with Google. To your point about figuring out a hiking path, I b

I'm the friend and family member who's "good with computers" and gets the brunt of those calls. I appreciate them, because it's nice to chat with folk I don't chat as frequently with as others in my life. The p
