@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at the
table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are starving
(for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or lower
now?

@user-132 100 years ago we didn't have computers. 1000 years ago we didn't have
electricity. 10,000 years ago we didn't have agriculture. in 100 years will we
have something new? in 1000 will we be somewhere new? in 10,000 will we be
something new? perhaps... if only we don't neglect planet A.

@user-138 if you don't want feedback then why don't you just... not open the
replies? leave them unread? if you feel the need to justify your actions (such
as not reading replies to your controversial posts) then somewhere deep down
you feel like those actions are unjustified, and needing an explanation. which
makes your point feel less valid to others, since even you don't believe in it
enough to guarantee it to be the truest expression of your soul.

@user-95 the scariest part is you don't need AI for any of that. people have
been scamming with call centers in indonesia. election campaigns are
essentially generalized information spreading machines. (whether mis, dis, or
just... regular information) Marketing is an entire discipline dedicated toward
making people believe something they previously did not - that product XYZ is
worthy of their dosh. But it doesn't have to be like that, it could be using
it's powers of analysis for good. But alas, if only we had an economic system
that allowed for anything but a race to the bottom. I mean yeah racing is great
when you're competing with a bunch of other nations, but c'mon do we really
need to fight? Every inch of earth has been claimed. Let's just... draw a line
in the sand and say "okay no more changes" and focus on more important things?
Like climate change for example?

But eventually I can put it back together. I like this avatar because I have

really any reason to change since I liked it so much ^_^

I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
"start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually you're
back where you started.
Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
right to enjoy as you will.

@user-95 more like... accessibility by default, and if you want to opt in to
the narrative experience then you can. I want to start with all the levels
unlocked and all the cool swords to play with because most of the time I don't

@user-147 years of practice. every time you delete what you said is another
chance to practice that slips away. writing is the easy part, you got that down
because you need something to delete, right? the hard part is being received by
others, and continuing the conversation as you direct it.

me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.
