    I think working out and eating healthy is a good trend and blood work is happy for it, and don’t need some super crazy work out plan to look better.

    But the whole cosmetic surgeries and steroids which aren’t needed to be healthy is definitely overboard for the regular person who aren’t making living off their looks or athletic performance is overboard.




  • It also probably helps that it is easy to ignore Apple and there might not be a feeling of missing out for those who don’t care for the Apple ecosystem. As big as Apple is it is kind of niche in the sense that a Windows or Linux user can just ignore its existence and not feel affected.

    But, when it comes to Windows there’s lot of mainstream software, games, and even hardware compatibility that is affected by Windows dominance. Stuff like wine and proton being needed and not getting the same video card driver support leads to more resentment Windows actually having offerings people who tend to complain want.




  • It was the same with Elon before he went head first into facism. They usually start by selling themselves as liberal with some occasional praise of conservatives. Then later claim they are moderate or the go to favorite of tech bros claiming they are libertarian, since saying they are conservative might receive backlash.







  • Which are separate things from people’s ability to financially support themselves.

    People can have smartphones and tech the past didn’t have, but be increasingly worse off financially and unable to afford housing.

    And you aren’t a space explorer.

    I’m not arguing about whether innovation is cool. It is.

    I however strongly disagree with your claim that people being replaced is good. That assumes society is being guided with altruism as a cornerstone of motivation to create some Star Trek future to free up people to pursue their interests, but that’s a fantasy. Innovation is simply innovation. It’s not about whether people’s lives will be improved. It doesn’t care.

    World can be the most technologically advanced its ever been with space travel for the masses and still be a totalitarian dystopia. People could be poorer than ever and become corpo slaves, but it would fit under the defition of societal progress because of innovation.





  • Education is not a good defense when you weren’t given any different education than the rest. And it seems like an ideology that they choose even among those more educated and wealthier. This whole only poor uneducated fall for lies is misleading and passes off personal responsibility.

    They are the ones who chose despite others not doing so. And even the worst people are capable of moments of kindness, but it doesn’t change who they are at their core and what they choose to believe when they don’t have to selectively filter themselves.

    And feel bad for them all you want. It doesn’t change that people around the world are suffering because of their decisions that empowered the people in charge, since they believed they would be the exception.
