GlTChWhISKY··on Disrespectful Design – Users aren’t stupid or lazy
End users are stupid. This isnt something people are just finding out. As technology advances more sects of the tech population will simply stop learning and get comfortable in whatever software or processes they have relied on.

Its not about thinking the user is stupid.... They are. But then again im not a mechanic, plumber or tow driver. I domt need to know all their "things" .. But i know how to pus gas in my car, change a tire and drive a car.

Im stupid after the very basics.. Just like most end users are. Turning it on .. Checking email.. Looking at facebook .. This is all things people just do.. Its process.

Not everyone needs to understand specific errors or mpd.

Make the effort .. Earn the understanding.

GlTChWhISKY··on For first time, House will vote on bill to legalize marijuana on federal level
> Marijuana when used often makes you a very passive and lame personality.

I can tell youve been one sided on this for a really long time. Im also not sure 'lame personality' is a size effect of anything. Please dont spew garbage

GlTChWhISKY··on Tampa teen accused of being ‘mastermind’ behind Twitter hack
My thoughts go to the fact they were able to hunt someone down based on their bitcoin address.

Either they got help, this kid was already being watched or it just speaks to the DOJs data collection to all citizens.

GlTChWhISKY··on Trump signs executive order targeting protections for social media companies
Youtube places checks on videos for covid ... Antivax and more. How is what twitter did any different. Why is the conversation about what twitter did and not about Trump getting mad and using an EO to stop people from fact checking him. Why isnt that the conversation.. I shouldnt be able to turn a radio on and not hear how unprofessional and childish and abuse of power this truly is.

This isnt how the presidency is supposed to be used. He got mad and hes trying to silence his critics. Enough with the twitter is right or wrong.. Publisher vs platform. This is the conversation that needs to be had.

There is no reason an EO of this nature should be slid across the desk. A blind judge could see hes reacting to being checked.

GlTChWhISKY··on 230, or not 230? That is the EARN IT question
Why is legislation like this being presented.. Its simple.. Less people are looking. Of course this bill is intended to do what we all want. The writing is on the walls.

To many people sit around in their passive lifestyle and pass the care to someone else... Doesnt matter who just as long as they dont need to get off the couch and stop scrolling fakebook.

This passes... Youll see 1984 realllll soon... I wish more people would start taking shit seriously. The gov. Has been hijacked .. We all screwed.. Period.. Stop kidding yourself.
