no yeah it’s definitely random that every country all over the world is having a totally organic and not astroturfed movement to require adults to de-anon themselves online showing id or biometrics because why won’t you think of the kids or some shit like that
I watched a man film his daughter's first steps and he watched it through the screen. she walked toward him and he was not there he was in the rectangle and she reached for a ghost. that is the whole thing now. we are building a perfect archive of a life no one attended
Can’t help but feel that a core part of the campaign to further immiserate the working class is to remove every single opportunity to interact with other members of society. Between the obliteration of third spaces to things like this, feels like they want to keep us all siloed in our homes, glued to screens.
England has a network of public footpaths, bridleways, and byways denser than any country in the world. These pass through fields, farms, and villages. They are legally protected so landowners must keep them open.
Public rights of way and the right to roam means the entire countryside is walkable, not just through 'wilderness' but through working land. I've spent countless days walking through the English countryside, along the coast...I can't tell you how marvelous it is.
I don't think it's possible to be truly English without a love of the country walk.
@Memeulous Might be worth going into the BIOS and seeing if the fans are going full whack. If turning them down doesn’t make it better, might be worth swapping them out for “quiet” fans
