I think the simple fact that depression and anxiety are rising drastically amongst youth is enough of an indicator to say that they are not turning out OK

What they say and what they do are two different things. They say free market but they mean favoratism. They say small government but they mean –you guessed it– favoratism. It’s like how lefties say communism but vote for gun control.
I strongly believe that libertarian ideology does not exist in US politics. We only have two different flavors of authoritarianism. The only libertarians in the US are gun enthusiasts (note: not actually allied with the right at all) and drug dealers.
Libertarians are a political minority, they control nothing in the US. This is the leftist equivalent of “it’s the damn commies!”
I’m certain you can think of a reason not to if you really try.
I grew up on the internet with no real parenting and I turned out fine.
wonders why I think about dying at least once every 5 minutes every day
I haven’t watched the video yet, I always save his videos for my morning routine.
Anyway, I’m replacing my company blacklist with a whitelist, there’s just too many scumbag companies. The default assumption should be that any given company would leave me dead in a ditch for the chance to make a one dollar profit. They can earn my trust through tremendous effort if they want my money.
I thought the idea was that when we spend USD, we do so under the expectation that our government will protect us from malicious and deceptive companies. When did this change? Anyone remember a time when this was the case, or was it always a fantasy?
If Amazon genuinely fits your use case, more power to you. I think the problem is the average person being duped into thinking they need Amazon Prime as the default position.
As I said, it’s different if you’re a member of a targeted minority.
While I mostly agree with you, don’t discount the insane volume of genuine hate speech in the United States. A vast amount of it –if not the majority– is coded language so there is an actual need to be extra sensitive. If you aren’t a member of a targeted minority, you won’t get it because the nature of coded hate speech is that it’s only transparent to the perpetrators and the victims.
I don’t believe them and neither should you. They are looking for an easy PR win and you’re handing it to them. Title should be “Google makes the dubious claim that it will support right to repair”
I will sooner implant a bullet before this proprietary bullshit
Ahoy
Lot of talk about Mozilla, but what about Firefox? I’m not using the CEO as my web browser.
Also my first thought
Third choice: Delete your account and never look back.
Just curious, why a 5?
Just keep in mind that you could get addicted to drugs too. A lot of addicts were squares that came off prescribed medication and went straight to illegal drugs due to continued pain. A person’s likelihood to become addicted to drugs also has a lot to do with their genetics, it’s not really a moral failing like you seem to think it is. As for them shitting up the parks, littering, etc, yeah it sucks. Remember that they aren’t lucid nor do they perceive any reason to respect a society that doesn’t respect them.
I’m not proposing any specific action. I don’t know the solution. I’m just saying chill out and be less hateful.
My cyberpower UPS works well. There’s a service you can run to shut your computer down or whatever when it goes to battery power (check arch wiki) but it also works with GNOME (its displayed how a laptop battery would be displayed, but its labeled as a UPS) and it works well with NUT too.
Fuck authoritarianism
