My flow is so much better with a pencil and paper, and then I just transfer the organized meat onto a screen, only after I'm satisfied. Working first by typing into a note-taking app is counter productive, your brain doesn't want to work like that. It wants to scribble, doodle, draw arrows pointing to stuff.
Think of how many interesting conversations happen in walled gardens like slack, telegram, discord. Very thoughtful and in-depth sharing from users that would most likely be valuable for others to read. And valuable for these people themselves to re-read in the future at a specific easily accessible / shareable url.
The reason these people share in the walled gardens is because it's a conversational / social atmosphere, not necessarily because it's a private discord server (IMO). And it's just that the walled gardens have become the popular place for discussing things. So it's more natural. This is to say I don't think people would be against having their conversations being in public, searchable, like taaalk is trying to do. I think a lot of people would prefer it, professional types. People who use these communities to learn and develop. Rather than the anonymous s*#@ posters who don't really leave a trail or anything valuable either.
Here's a great example of one of the best websites that aggregates many different topics based on the most popular and innovative blogs in their subjects.
edit: and by do something more meaningful i meant, activism to fight against all the poor landlords or something, rather than just this ego project.
Like when people went after J.K. Rowling for her "anti semitic depictions of jews". When she just made some greedy goblin characters and other people created the connection in their own minds.
We all made a bunch of mask makers rich for no reason. Good thing I never wore one.
Also I remember seeing a video of some of these disposable masks being created in absolute squalor conditions in a third world country, newly assembled ones being thrown on a grimy pile in the floor. That's where your masks are from.
They won't ban antiwork because it encourages giving up, consooming, laziness, weakness. Exactly the kind of NPC audience reddit milks money off of. Ad revenue, reddit gold, buying emojis, constant scrooolllling, etc.
You are just naive, there will always be authoritarianism, forever. You're just on the receiving end or the administrating end.
All these types of climate change policies will do is make it harder for small businesses to operate, while more and more bureaucracy and tax is applied to them. That the "too big to fail" companies can continue to ignore and skate by.
Point is, most of the first world countries are not significant polluters. It is China, India, who are contributing the majority of pollution. The more we pretend this isn't the case, and the more we pretend like putting our trash into two colored boxed is going to stop these beasts, the more sterilized we become.
Yes, something like this actually deserves to be removed, especially when it reaches critical mass. Because it does more harm than good to the extent that yeah american youth are just going to get dominated on a global field if most of our zoomer ADHD youth equate having a boss to slavery.
And it doesn't matter at all how few people may or may not participate in this particular subreddit. This is the third time I've seen a post about the subreddit in mainstream news. It's popular and the sentiments are only going to grow with more time and more encouragement, to our detriment.
If it's so easy for people like me to be fine and that it's not unheard of that we're not going to die. Maybe you should swallow your pride and realize my instincts were correct to not wear one, and yours were wrong to blindly trust authority and SCIENCCEEEE. Now where are we? 2 years into 2 weeks to flatten the curve.
