As long as they aren’t preventing third party components, they can become the phone version of full “ibm pc”

Interesting. I have a story I’m developing where this is a plot point but it’s not just one person, it’s literally everyone. Instead of spacetime it takes place inside a machine simulation and then instead of it begins becuase of a god, it happens because everyone is immortal and bored.
But the idea is the same, for all anyone “alive” knows, they could be in the machine, except they can’t know because then they’d live wrong. Only in between lives, do they know.

I knew a kid who did this. Some random kid saw and reported it. His dad was the head janitor of the high school, he helped his dad, was on the payroll so actually was working for the school district himself part-time. He still almost got expelled, managed to only get a week of suspension.

They send it to collections, collections hands it off to a lawyer who files in court, court sends a beer date, person can’t afford to take off for the day, so court issues a default judgment.
The system does not care about one’s circumstances if one is too poor to advocate for themselves.
Add a dash of depression, anxiety and stress and this is a very believable scenario for anyone who is even of adequate means.

I let people enjoy things even if I don’t enjoy them.
Except when that thing someone enjoys doing is some harmless ribbing.

We don’t just think it. It’s 100% true and you are annoyed by us because you know it is too!

The cast shifts as often as a soap opera, it’s how they keep it fresh.

Yes it was a sanitarium, it it wasn’t not an insane asylum or a prison. It was a health resort.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Creek_Sanitarium
The Battle Creek Sanitarium was a world-renowned health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States.[3] It started in 1866 on health principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and from 1876 to 1943 was managed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.[4]
I’ve showed you one of my sources, now you show me yours.

He did not run an insane asylum. It was a health resort. The cereal was for people who suffered from upset stomachs which was highly common because people were inflaming their digestive tracks and giving themselves stomach cancer because tonics were popular at the time and were full of crazy shit. Not just opium and other fun stuff.
He was so against sexual gratification he did thing mitten thing for children and a teenagers, also physical restraints but never inmates, closest would be orphanages but also promoted the practice to his playing clientele
Kellog was a crazy religious nut but the kind that wouldn’t even fuck his wife, let alone children like the sickos we’re stuck with today. All in all, I prefer his style of crazy religious nut vs the rapey kind.

Yes. AI human transformation drones make far more sense. Much easier to avoid things because airspace can be controlled. Just need to figure out how to do efficiently that the ride is more than 5 minutes.
- Comment on What does it mean? 5 days ago:
It is a valid question.
How exactly do we quantify this concept because if its self reporting, I guarantee it includes people who have larger incomes claiming they are living pay check to pay check. These people should not be lumped with those who are struggling to afford a basic quality of life.
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 5 days ago:
Yeah. I used to have a $20 shareware product back when kagi was a payment processor. Apple introduced $1 pricing as a dick waving contest and fucked the entire indy developer community.

This is a really basic business concept; business 101 stuff. They definitely didn’t make it up, they’re just using it.
It works against the general population, if this particular one doesn’t, don’t get too busy strutting, there is almost certainly something else that does work on you.
Buy shit because you need/want it, not because it’s a deal.

Calling others gullible while confidently spewing technological ignorance is a level of irony one can only find in these types of technology forums.
They always revert to the mean. People that are not experts, shit talking actual experts. Hell even the slightly informed get talked down to by know nothings who operate on speculation and feelings.

This is only becuase search engines have become trash. They use to surface tutorials that solved even the most uncommon issues. Now we need to lean on LLMs to surface this content and hope they aren’t hallucinating.

Other rich people, yes. Their children are handed positions other work towards for decades.
The point I’m trying to make is that think you can remove yourself from the machine by fucking off into nature plays to their favor.
Also, not doing things because the wealth do it, is reactionary. What matters is who; extend the hand beyond one’s tight socioeconomic group, reach downward and pull up.
- Comment on This kid gets it 1 week ago:
Slowly, naturally and directly in your personal environment, where you have the most influence.
This is literally what wealthy people do and it greatly upsets of the non-wealthy.
The rugged individualist lifestyle is most benefiticial to the wealthy. People in that mindset aren’t honest with themselves on all the ways they feed the machine.

One can still be out of contact by simply not responding. A mobile devices can be disconnected from the network easier than a house with multiple lan lines, just turn it off.

Pluto’s downgrade was simply because we found potentially thousands of more Pluto’s.
The argument I’ve seen skips the step that the new definition was created to include those other Pluto like objects. They jump right to how the new planet definition was updated to not have overlap or ambiguity and therefor was about creating a way to exclude pluto rather than creating a definition that doesn’t lead to have declaring there are now 50 planets.

This is a weird time to claim someone is being unhinged and comparing them to maga. One even claim that is being unhinged and maga like.
