Also the sturdier machines are heavier, take up more space in tiny appartments, and consume more power. I was looking for juicers the other day and deciding between an industrial one and a cheap plastic one. THe industrial one was enormous and used 700W, while the cheap one used like 25W. THe industrial one wasnt even that much expensive, like 2-3x the price of the cheap one, but would take up much more space in my kitchen.

Exceptions exist. Lets push to make these exceptions more frequent.

They surely have tons of horrible problems. But you seem to want to hold on to a feeling of moral superiority relative to the russians for some reason… which is just not real.

Theres a lot of rape going on in the us military too. Youll find lots of testemony about these crimes being silenced and unpunished, with a bit of research.

You can say its different. Yes, i agree. But the us doesnt really have any moral high ground as your comment seems to suggest.

The government is a complex system with internal conflicts.

Ad/tech companies are toys of the government. Sometimes these toys throw a fit because the people involved want more money. But they were made by the government, and have a front story about how a genius with a good idea and business skills turned it into a billion dollar company. They wouldnt exist without the iniciative and investment of the government.

The person in the image also is overestimating how many people use adblockers. Most people i know watch youtube on their cellphones or tvs infested with ads.

I think “surveillance” doesnt cut it. Mass monitoring of political opinions, and subtle manipulation of these political opinions through recomendation algorithms in social media is whats being attempted here. “Surveillance” sounds so innocent in comparison.

But youre right, the advertisement business model is a front, a capitalist-flavoured mask, to make a state apparatus appear natural and somewhat acceptable to the people.

It must really be empty… Two contradictory assumptions lol

People wouldnt move. They know its not secure and they dont care enough.

Telegram doesnt even pretend to be end to end encrypted.

No no. I was calling the logic bullshit. The reasoning was bad, not the conclusion. Learn to interpret text.

They do, i know. Theyre not certain. The consequences depend on lots of factors. To disqualify someone because they used drugs without looking more into how it affected that specific person is fatalist bullshit.

I agree brain damage CAN occur. Thats not the same statement i was criticizing.

Yeah those paper walls cant hold any weight

No. This logic is fatalist bullshit.

Oh, I’ll try it, thanks!

With only two states for each finger, you cant count past 1 in decimal. You can count up to 10 in unary.

Uhh, 100 uses 3 digits.
