so initially it was just couchsurfing/hospitality but worse (no culture sharing aspect + it costs money)?

Damn, after reading your comment I thought airBnB came after the enshittification of couch surfing but no, they co-existed and society chose the one with money instead of culture sharing + local volunteer vetting + free accomodation.

We suck :p

I feel like you are cutting society too much slack.

Yes, capitalists set the tone, but people in our immediate surroundings (neighbors, parents, schools) are the ones who enforce the rules.

20 years ago: You got an email? Well… you’ll see it when you open your personal/work computer.

Now: You got an email? Don’t you have a mobile phone? Every second you miss is an insult, especially if they saw you with your phone in your hand once while talking to them (you look at your phone AAAALLL THE TIME no???)

What I understood: Whenever we get a new tech, it makes our life easier (fact) but then the society expects more from us because “hey! now your life is easier, you have the time no?”.

edit: I had more to say I apparently.

in the scope of washbasin:
Women used to do back breaking job for 2 hours while talking to their neighbors and friends by a river/well.

Now they don’t have to do back breaking job, instead they have to do comfortable but soul crushing jobs with co-workers they cannot naturally (professionalism) mingle with.

How often can I probe it? If I can establish you are over 15 but under 17… I know you are 16 (squeeze theorem or something)

I get “angry” (I don’t know, some emotion forces me to take action) when there is a hair in my field of view.

I’m guessing if vision is so important for modeling the world that they’d die without it, they’d do something about it (bind / cut / burn)?

Then the joke is good (in a different way) no?

It makes you think that maybe we don’t need “passionate” sex scenes in movies if implied sex would do it (naked people fade to black) if that’s your stance.

It makes you think “wow some actors/actresses must be very good at their craft” if they don’t let you notice the disgust they are feeling even though if you think about it not everyone is attracted to everyone else, if that’s your stance.

Good one, idk?

Any time you say no to some donation request, know that saying no is the normal (statistical) thing to do. Otherwise, the donation request wouldn’t exist: People democratically said no to this (either directly or representatives) at the tax level so we need external money gathering tools.
