“our society has pushed smart phones down our throats”
smartphones evolved from older methods of just getting through the day. taking notes, listening to music, calandars, date books, libraries, files, methods of communication.
you make the assumption that everyone is a slave to their device just because it’s a smart device.
some of us were alive before smart phones existed. and we’d prefer not to go back in tech. and would instead prefer the devices we have now.

you couldn’t pay me to go backwards in time, sorry!
see I was around before the age of the smartphone. growing up, I thought my cassette Walkman was the most revolutionary thing ever. and when PDAs were new, I would dreaammm about everything being on one electronic device.
smart phones have given me a freedom that younger me never had.
i no longer need to carry a notebook/memobook around, because I have powerful software on my phone that not only let’s me note-take, but index and SEARCH my own notes. from my pocket.
i don’t need to carry the 3 novels im reading at the moment because they’re on the ereader app in my pocket.
contacts, games, all my news sources, photos, videos, all my media.
to me, this is still revolutionary tech and it has only improved my life
i think we are seeing a rise now of adults who were raises as iPad kids who never had to carry all their shit around the way us older individuals have. so they naturally would want to get away from it because they’ve known no different and they never had to live another way before that point.
its an understandable mentality from that one standpoint. but no, I will never give up my smart phone. i understand the reasons for those that do, but some of us don’t really want to go backwards.

all inputs are just run through hdmi. and I don’t use any internet based services on the device at all.
its basically the same as a computer monitor. as all my media is on computers now.

- Comment on Roku wants you to see a lot more AI-generated ads 3 days ago:
my roku TV can’t talk to the internet anymore because it was foolish enough to show me a banner ad while I was gaming

- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 5 days ago:
religion is an issue. and its not difficult to define.
i agree with your second paragraph. its why i think its time to start being less hospitable to any and all religion.
the less religion the world has, the better that people can be educated as you’ve said.
- Comment on Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research 6 days ago:
i think if less tolerance for religion became more commonplace, it might be better for mental health in general honestly.

worked fine for me for a couple decades. what’s painful about it exactly?
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 week ago:
can’t make me, sorry! i love borderlands 3. (sorry to interrupt the hateful circlejerk that seems to be in most comment sections for games forums these days.)
Borderlands 3 is fun and I look forward to my next playthrough

some of them likely did, given the current theory of how oil happens. dead organic material is dead organic material.
there’s just more vegetation than animal matter.

- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 weeks ago:
no I meant the expectation that people will just comply without complaint. especially if its not been stated otherwise in the lesson plan or syllabus.
this guy makes it seem like he magically was able to charm people into not using their laptops. and then wrote praises to him for such a thing, and quite frankly I’m certain all of that is embellishment.
I’m all for being more productive in classrooms, but banning note taking methods that quite a few people rely on is just silly.
if people want to join classes where note taking is analog only, that’s great and I encourage it. but let me know its that way ahead of time so I don’t waste my time having to get a refund for the course.
- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 weeks ago:
read the entire article yesterday, yes. how can i help?
- Comment on Here’s What Happened When I Made My College Students Put Away Their Phones 3 weeks ago:
this entire thing reads like a fantasy. or some reddit thread where “everyone clapped” to me.
if I was told by a professor on the first day of class which I paid for that I wasn’t allowed to use my own note taking method I had been using for decades, I’d just say “No.” and if pressed further, I’d take it as high as I needed to. or get a full refund for the class and find another.
this isn’t an elementary school. these aren’t children. these are adults.

“How have you managed to not understand this?”
I am sorry that you are taking this seriously. i meant it to be a light joke. i wanted to write the phrase ‘genital jousting’.
i know they’re not males. most people who look them up using a search engine know that as well. just trying to have fun.
- Comment on cum 2 mummy 3 weeks ago:
that was what wigged you out? not the genital jousting to achieve sexual domination over another?
not the phallic whacking. that part is fine. that’s just normal tuesdays.

i have no idea what you’ve gone off about. i did a DDG search.
I’m sorry for doing a search. lol
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
i don’t know anything about it. i just looked up VW and looked to see what countries sales were good and bad.
“USA can go fuck themselves, they are making themselves irrelevant.”
i did not want to get into a political shit fight, man. i did a DDG search about sales for a car manufacturer. thats all I did.
take it fucking easy, damn. =(
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
i don’t think its really all that big a deal. nobody said the US is all that matters. guy just said nobody is buying their cars.
which to him is true. but its been corrected.
this is just a conversation.

In EU they sell well. not in the US, however.
- Comment on Nice argument. 4 weeks ago:
gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). it doesn’t mean it’s bad. its just classified that way.
but yeah this dude had quite a few screws loose himself.
