Yea, seems like a fun and quirky feature, but unfortunately I don’t think there’s anything big tech companies can do at this point to turn things around with public opinion given how utterly egregious their other sins have been (and continue to be).
I found some of my favourite bands by downloading mislabelled songs on limewire.
I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.
My own advice is always to make sure you do it in a controlled environment where you can adjust the level of stimulation (lights, music, etc) at will, and make sure you have an experienced friend to take care of you.
I think I’ve used Amazon a grand total of twice in my life. Got a cheap knockoff of what I actually ordered both times.
From what I understand, psychedelics facilitate the connection of different areas of the brain which don’t ordinarily speak to each other. This can be a profoundly spiritual experience, as it tends to be for me, but it will more or less FORCE you to deal with any issues you might have, which can be a terrifying experience for some people.
Should have just said that it already has female dwarfs and refused to elaborate.
if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way
Literally just learn more about the world, not because you hate it and want to escape, but because you love it and want to know more about it. The cool thing about the real world is that it has an infinite depth, so no matter how far you go you will always have more to explore. As beings which inhabit only a small segment of the totality of what exists, you’re never going to be capable of “escaping” to the “real world” the way that people talk about it, but that hardly means that you have to stay somewhere that you feel trapped.
I’m not certain that I possess the linguistic ability to adequately express the full magnitude of my feelings on this matter. Sharing my entire life with this wonderful, magical, creature who loves me back, is exactly what pushes my buttons. Nobody has to enforce that upon me.
The big problem facing the corporate world is that they’re running out of space to expand, and so the new rage is all about rearranging what already exists into a more profitable configuration. The big hurdle to this is that we already have large segments of society which are arranged socially for the benefit and enjoyment of the population instead of maximizing profit metrics.
It may prompt people to recognizing things they had glossed over before.
That’s what people do because they were told so.
Nah, man, I happen to think that women are amazing and the idea of living with a woman who loves me is pretty damn cool.
This is a textbook example of why they staple rainbow flags to everything they do, so brain-dead thralls will leap to their defence as though their lives depend upon it.
Gee, maybe I picked that one because I was initially talking about restructuring “social constructs” by using the cis-normative family as an example.
Nah, that can’t be it. You’d better keep the corpo-knob spit polished just to be safe.
It’s just one simple example of current corporate culture that most people will understand.
CORPORATIONS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND
DEI is a corporate initiative designed to restructure society so it can be more easily commodified and monetized, with a crudely drawn rainbow on it so that people will defend it like these corporate entities are somehow your friends.
We really just want the hets to stop trying to harm/kill people that are different from them
I know very well that this is what the majority of people want, but bad actors attempt to take advantage of the situation with bullshit, like DEI initiatives, which are really only thinly veiled plots to maximize profits that hurt people who just want to be left alone by weaponizing their lifestyles for political gains.
While everyone was busy buying up all the toilet paper I realized I don’t actually need it nearly as much as I had been using it, if I just shower afterwards, and ended up saving a ton of money.
What bothers me is when people use that argument to advocate for replacing ‘constructs’ which evolved more or less naturally over tens of thousands of years, even before the dawn of civilization, with something deliberately engineered by individual humans. Is a cis-normative nuclear family the only way that it’s possible to live? Of course not, but it’s also what the vast majority of the population wants in their lives, which is why it’s the standard.
Damn, that’s my go-to and I didn’t even recognize it’s logo. Shows up as a Y on the site for me.
