I can only say well done and I hope you are happier and more at peace now.

All of this is ace, I may not know you but i’m proud of you internet stranger/friend!

Wait, is this a post about adblockers?

Yeah, it’s more green.

(Academic) education is not intelligence, and certainly not wisdom.

The worst part is this education doesn’t protect you from falling for certain loopy ideas. Critical reasoning is a skill and like all skills it needs to be learnt and maintained.

“Help, we are being attacked”

“Stop fighting!”

“Watch out, there’s a bus coming!”

“Leave me alone, leave me alone!”

“Are you proud of working for ICE? Do you go to bed proud of what you do?”

I believe it’s electrical engineering. A safe trade (pun intended) for the foreseeable.

I have no idea what the last four paragraphs are replying to.

I can’t seriously think you either believe or have thought this through.

What oil?

I’m sorry to read this. It looks like he was a good friend :)

It’s like you didn’t read the message and understand the context.

That really doesn’t appear to be what people are describing

A “well armed militia” that is completely and willingly surveiled by private corporations that work with the government is fundamentally, critically impaired.

The fact gun nuts harp on about what is, at this point, a fantasy of rising against tyrannical government while being nearly completely blind to operational matters like communication, organisation, surveillance, etc. is frankly ridiculous.

If these people were serious about this, they’d be building infrastructure, communication systems, etc.

How many of you are also trying to mindfully disengage from our phones, just pause for thought every time you pick it up?

It’s now at 96, which is amusing

EXACTLY.

Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I wouldn’t go as far as calling it “good”.
