lets not forget browbeating the fed to drop interest rates before covid hit.

I was noticing this as well. The place that should have the highest tarrifs.

I wonder how this compares to limiting hours of calorie consumption. Micro fasting essentially.

Understandable. Missing so much. The return of crimea. Payments for starting the war and rebuilding of Ukraine. hundred miles of russia past the boarder turned into a buffer zone controlled by the UN. Arrest and trial of putin and other collaborators.

Can you blame him. The man needs decent fellatio.

I do miss the way I used to be where I would get things exactly as I want and experiment with things. Now I just want to slap something on and be using it within the hour.

yup. thats essentially what I meant. email could be a book but sms was limited in size.

true but I think they had a point then. especially given the limits of the telegraph. thats like email and the original text message in some ways.

true. its dystopia because done in another way it could be utopia.

originally but it is a thing now.

yet so many sources are of questionable quality and so rarely are the pictures of anything useful. We have greatly increased efficiency but often have lost quality.

certainly, but just not as efficiently.

There is a noticable difference in electronic communication. Before the internet there were plenty of people that hated being on the phone instead of face to face. Something is lost with each loss of the physical experience. From in person to voice to text. Granted video calls actually are a bit of an improvment to a phone call as far as human connection goes.

As an american who hates this I doubt it anti american. Its anti corporate america and anti trump and anti maga and anti republican and anti all the stupid crap that lead to this.

as long as you don’t count software as technology because it, especially algorithms, are often not neutral.

Yeah once I realized putin was obssessed with arctic resources it became obvious why trump is obsessed with taking greenland and canada.

Bitcoin uses way to much energy to use as currency like that. gridcoin or any other one that uses proof of stake would be better if accepted but its a bit nicer if the energy put into it results in a useful product which gridcoin does.
