I’m in a Western country and 9 out of 10 phone calls I recieve are scam calls from India. Right now in my country, there are Indians with temporary working visas protesting because they don’t want to return to India.
India does not seem like a place I want to visit.
If he’s a “hard follower” of Joe Rogan than he likely won’t be interested in other content. Rogan is a fool, but that’s why people find him appealing. Content that is insightful and educational is the opposite of the junk food of Rogan.
Maybe instead, when Rogan says something like “Bro did you know like the pineal gland of the chimpanzee produces anti-covid hormones? This is just what I’ve heard. Look it up. By the way did you see the tree growing in my toilet?” You can help your sibling by teaching them ways to think, reason, and critically evaluate the BS that freely flows from the Roganverse.
Sometimes on the news or social media, I’ll hear about some well-known musician, author, etc, who has died. There’s been occasions where I check out their material and suddenly become a fan.
Have you heard of Daniel Dennett? Check him out.
I’m rooting for the day nobody cares about this type of thing.
Do you remember when Sun Chips changed their chip bag material to a more environmentally friendly compostable material? People lost their minds. Why? Because the bag crinkled a lot. All of the boring late night talk shows made fun of Sun Chips bags. So, they switched it back to the old bags.
Moral of the story is that people don’t care if something is better for the environment if it inconveniences them now. If everything was in cans people would cry because they can’t close them or whatever. In fact, many items that were previously sold in cans are now plastic. Also, money… Cheaper to wrap water in plastic.
You can still buy Coca-cola in glass bottles if you look hard enough. But they are pricey.
Your kid doesn’t need a phone. If you want them to have a phone, then a flip phone that allows them to call you.
I doubt any of us could sit in a chair doing nothing for even 1 day without becoming restless without phones or other distractions. 4 billion years? Your brain would be mush. You’d have long forgotten your own name or even the concept of money.
Landlords. Housing as a commodity in general.
Why do people always vote against their own self interests.
Have you seen Reddit and Twitter lately? You want those people here?
If I put my old man hat on, I’d say none. I think the idea of “classics” is dead. I also think most modern mainstream music is terrible. But hey what do I know.
If Duolingo is too fast paced, then you aren’t going to learn any quicker using a different method. The fastest way to learn any language is full immersion with lessons. It’s extremely difficult. Maybe go online and find a tutor/teacher in your area or virtually. Oh and it’s “ciao”.
What “shit” did they “pull with their app”?
All I gathered from your post is that you want to ditch DDG because of a newsletter issue. Please explain your privacy and security concerns.
In my opinion, the biggest problem with Linux is it requires tinkering in terminal which nearly every non-tech savvy person finds intimidating. Even if it’s a simple command. Until Linux has a shiny dumbed-down GUI for everything you need to do, it won’t catch on for the average PC user.
Linux has made incredible progress in this area though. But, everytime I use a new Linux install, I encounter errors or something that requires troubleshooting and terminal use.
I think I surprising amount of people are likely just “faking it”. I hope one day we can collectively cut the BS and all admit we don’t know what we’re doing.
If I ended up in the Pokemon universe, I’d be fighting for Pokemon rights. Clearly, these creatures are fully sentient. They fluently understand human language, and even one (Meowth) can speak. We have no right to capture and force them to fight. Also, I would fight to help teach them human languages or unlock the secrets to their “language”, so we may better communicate.
Never underestimate the stupidity of voters.
I’m not even saying this to be nice. You are 25. You’re a baby. You may feel like you are old. But you are not. Not even close.
Ever hear the saying “youth is wasted on the young”? This is why people say it. Hindsight is gonna slap you in the face when you are actually old. You’re fine. It’s not too late.
Yep. Universities are in on it too. You can’t work in academia without constantly publishing. These publishers don’t pay you for your work. But publishing improves your “reputation” and “scholarly activity” which the university requires in order to boost its own “reputation”. It’s a big scam.
