Expecting a revolution to solve your problems is a bad joke.

I’m just gonna go ahead and say ratio’d. And yes, I’ve read all of the discourse ITT.
If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.
That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.
I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.
It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.
That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.
I’d certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.
corralling student attention in the hands of the parents
What does this mean?
Also, I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying ; the people in control of schools across the U.S. should be ashamed of themselves. However it is the responsibility of the parents to not just shove their kids in front of a screen because they’re too busy for them.
Teachers have it hard enough as it is, I have nothing to say on that front. I would never have the patience to go through what teachers go through, period.
Did you? Because you haven’t named them.
I meant their meanings, rather than their spellings lol.
They said Physiological not Psychological. There’s a considerable difference between those two words.
I highly doubt that someone disabled enough to need implants like this is capable of doing damage to anyone but themselves. Like if you’re interested in protecting them, sure I’ll accept that. But the idea that society needs to protect itself from this is silly.
Most people do not understand that there are many ways to burn a book.
That is the way dating apps work.
sigh Comes into a thread in clear defense of someone else, backpedals when challenged.
Such a tired fucking way of communicating, good lord.
Within that isolated society? Sure.
If your goal was to argue semantics then I don’t know why I’m entertaining this. Yes, in an imaginary society that is 1) somehow not influenced by modern society and 2) somehow also avoids currency - power dynamics will obviously take different shapes.
Do you realize how meaningless that example is?
I will never understand this take.
Logically speaking this is simply incorrect.
Shortsightedness driven by greed does not, in any way, negate money equaling power.
What’s your point?
Leftists and right wingers are not the same. Liberals and leftists are not the same.
If you had any sense you would have stopped yourself from writing the second you conflated the two.
So you’re saying right wingers and leftists are the same thing?
Because that’s pretty fucking dumb, just like the first guy who said it earlier in the threat.
Have you heard of any companies in the past few years who are trying to mimic human speech? They need lots of example data to do that.
You fixated on one point while there are worse problems than just being ashamed of what you’ve said.
Stop.
A friend of mine works for Deloitte, can you tell me more?
