I have not read Stolen Focus yet. But I enjoyed Amusing Ourselves to Death - Neal Postman and Bullshit jobs - David Graeber
Wait until they learn about termites!

I saw that Black Mirror, I couldn't make the leap to it happening in real life... Maybe I just don't get it.
No, that was April 5, 1994... The end of the '90s
Do you worry about your children having large blind spots in pop-culture making it difficult to relate to peers later in life when discussing things and relating the childhood? I've wondered how music taste was going to continue with out FM, but just today my daughter had a google meet with her class where they have to have teams and discuss songs. Between tiktok, youtube, and dance class she did quite well. I imagine 13 year old boys will talk about fortnite how we talk about mario or zelda...

You don't run icebreaker on Chrome if you want to stay alive in the sprawl... It's like taking a knife to a nuke fight.

But when birds of a feather flock together, many hands make light work.

I see your point, but to be fair Kodak did bring film back. https://www.kodak.com/US/en/consumer/products/super8/super-8...
They never accounted for flat earthers, but no amount persuasion or marketing is going to change my mind. Stupid is as stupid does.
Calm down. We all die in the long run... Want better sleep? Stop worrying and work with your hands a bit.

Oh yeah, once I can get someone to pay for my kids I’m going to fuck like a rabbit. No joke who wants the bill?

I know an 11yo that just spent $100 on fortnite.

There's plenty of cake, if you're hungry get a slice. Oxycodone makes me throw up violently. I like helping people more than I thought.
Facts over feelings. I can’t (or should I say the bank can’t) install a kernel on my house... don’t they own it? Basing ownership on the ability to install a kernel seems like quite a few of my friends own nothing.
No. I was referring to the difference between China and the U.S. WW2 is a good point to look at how the two world powers grew to be very different(I intrepid what you were saying was that they are the same) you know the whole 1949 communist thing, cold war into the Korean war, the U.S. having nukes and having just dropped then five years before could do it again but did not. I think that shows something not to negate some of the very horrible things that were done. If we move forward we get to 1989, Tiananmen Square. I'm just saying the two are different and enjoy a mostly open and free internet.
