If the commute was included in workplace deaths and injuries, I wonder where it would rank with OSHA’s statistics

NDAs are very much legally enforceable lol. The only time they aren’t, is if there has been illegal activity the NDA is trying to compel you yo keep secret.

If this country cared about the environment or workers’ safety, they’d fine companies who make employees work in the office when they could work from home instead.

What’s absolutely insane to me, is that other CEOs think that’s fair and fine and that Elon is very smart and not a con artist? No wonder Elizabeth Holmes got so far. It’s just so obvious he’s not above board

I didn’t provide a conclusion, I asked you a question - how do you pick the official, global sign for eating? What will it look like?
come to consensus based on commonality. When the majority agree on a sign, use it So then why even debate? If majority decides, why not just use Chinese sign language for everything?
If you can’t understand the colonization aspect, then please read the books/authors I listed previously. Having a majority decide language for others/everyone is pretty classic colonization. That’s part of why native Americans were forced to learn English (many of your arguments are very similar to why colonizers believed English should be established as a global lingua franca)
- Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says 1 month ago:
You are simply moving goalposts. My point is that I disagree with your idea of making sign language universal or formally making even a rudimentary universal sign language. I think that would be impossible if you understand language itself. I gave you resources so you could educate yourself about why.
Yes, the sign for eating would look different in China vs Ethiopia vs the US. So what sign are you going to have it be to imitate eating in your formal language? Do you see how this can perpetuate colonization?
- Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says 1 month ago:
I can tell you only speak one language, or maybe another Latin based language in addition to English. If you’d learned something like Mandarin, you’d understand how complex, regional, and historical language is. It’s based on layers and shifts constantly. Sometimes, that’s specifically because people don’t want to be understood by everyone.
I really recommend reading academic books about this topic if you are curious. My favorite is Neurolinguistics and Linguistic Aphasiology, by David Caplan. You may also enjoy Chomsky’s works because he talks about commonalities in language or universal language.
There’s no need to formally codify those hand gestures, because we innately already understand and make them. Making eating motions (which may look different depending on regional utensils) is pretty universal right? But it looks different in different places.

Actually in the wheelchair community, there can indeed be pressure to use the least assistive wheelchair possible. Chairs aren’t 100% seen as liberating and there’s a lot of nuance into why people pick certain chairs beyond finances. My aunt repeatedly fell out of her chair because she insisted on one made for a lower back injury than she has. She kept it for status, because she looks more able without the sides.
I guess ‘differently abled,’ just comes across as ableism to me. Not using visible signs of a disability, like a chair or hearing aids, can be internalized ableism. Some of the worst verbalized ableism I’ve heard has come from disabled communities. It’s a very complicated topic, not least because disability is used to harm disabled people and take away their agency. And for many, there is a lot of grief with using assisitive devices.
That being said, I don’t think people should be forced to change or to use devices they dislike. My aunt still uses her chair, it’s not like we’re going to drag her into another one or whatever. I just wanted to point out the internalized ableism that could be contributing to this attitude and word change.
It wasn’t so long ago that the Civil rights Era stopped disabled people from being chained in attics and lobotomized and hid away. It’s entirely reasonable to fear that association.

You misunderstand language itself, not just sign language, if you think a universal language is possible or even a good thing

I’m not trying to infer, I’m asking you questions to further understand your position here. What’s your issue with porn specifically? Why is porn bad for people? You’re the one asserting this on an open forum, please explain. What’s so bad about being naked in a movie or picture and someone else watching that? We have bodies. We are adults. So what?
We’ve had infinite porn scrolling for a while now with image searches. The issue with addiction and scrolling is usually related to predatory algorithms (which op doesn’t appear to have used) and also neurochemical differences in individuals. However, addiction in terms of neurochemical balances is a highly controversial topic and in general, I side with the idea that each person should own their own body and be able to do what they like as long as it doesn’t harm others. So if someone is comfortable with watching porn all day every day and that feels fine for them, then I think that is fine as well.
There’s no need to monitor another person’s addiction and the only reason you’d want to, is if you were codependent or parentified as a child (codependency is an addiction too). I get providing your opinion and sources, but you have yet to provide a single source or even specifically say what the issue is, besides some vague concern over infinite scrolling in general. You come across as being reactive and not actually founded in any kind of moral or scientific consistency. That’s fine if that’s the case, but then maybe you should acknowledge that you could be wrong here unless you’re backing it up with sources and sound reasoning.

Can you define science or empirical evidence? Do you not understand how modern day scientific predictions are different than ancient Mayan ones? That you conflate this is disingenuous at best.
Again, you do you. I’m not wasting the last few years of my life wage slaving and hoping the government and the wealthy will figure out a solution for us common folk when they are building bunkers and exacerbating income inequality. They’ve known since the 70s about this issue. As it currently stands, in present day reality, according to all data we have and all the scientific experts, we are dead and the planet is dead. It was a good time. ✌️

I think there’s something to be said for coercive and manipulative algorithms, definitely. I don’t know that simply efficiently looking at the porn you want to look at until you’re done edging or you cum or whatever is bad. The less ads, the better as well, because ads are very manipulative and coercive and the point is to reduce that. Having an orgasm is a normal human experience, as is sexual exploration in general. Idk that all porn is perfect or anything, but I do think the antiporn stuff is weirdly sex phobic for no reason.

What element of porn in general do you find offensive or problematic, if not the sexual one?

And these are just the overall predictions. I don’t have enough time to link all of the climate disasters that have already happened. Pay attention, look outside. We will be lucky if we get 10 solid years.

You realize you can just look at… not porn? Other stuff? Read a book?

Agree, needs more variety/organization

We have 2-10 years left before we all die due to climate change. If we look at someone’s age in relation to when they die, rather than when they were born, we are all about the same age. This is our retirement, our golden years. Good luck
