@kidcorvid@a_musingcat Okay but he died long before Zuck and others started capitalising on it. Also, the technology isn’t the problem, the unregulated tech corporations raping a generation are.
@TallRomanStatue The modern world is made for convenience and indulgence. We care little for beauty and quiet, everything is here and gone in an instant. The term modern has come positive and left ill, sickening every fabric of society, all in the name of futurism.
This retard doesn’t know that free market capitalism has uprooted millions from poverty, millions less poor than those of “centuries ago.” In fact, it is due to these circumstances many more of us live as nice as rich people did centuries ago.
Commies just make up shit to moralise every single day. The rich did philanthropy back in the day because they are human, like the humans of today, capable of empathy. You people however lack both empathy and sincerity and are full of resentment and hate.
centuries ago the insanely rich used to sponsor libraries, hospitals, arts & science, bc they understood that if they just showed off their excessive wealth w/o giving back they would be hanged & needed the plebes to see their value to society. now they just do shit like this
@MrGrEenFR@Memetic_Hazard_@Sith_Religions ? Yeah, that’s you. You can’t suddenly accuse me of an argument fallacy when you have had no argument to begin with lol. Fuck off.
@SonsationalN17 White Hart Lane was literally a partial reason why I started supporting Spurs in the first place (among other things). I think it was genuinely a disorienting stadium to oppositions because it had a sense of intimate immediacy which the new stadium lacks. Too Americanized.
@youwantle0@iainturfriend "NPC's," I believe she got most of her wealth from her cosmetic brand that was sold to impressionable young girls right around the boom of Instagram. So to be fair to her, she took advantage of the market, probably subconsciously and for that, she is rich (connections helped).
@adderalleater12@monokichan@iainturfriend Yeah it is, you're finally starting to see the world clearly. Is homelessness bad? Of course, but are we solely responsible for all homeless people or is homelessness created in a vacuum? No. So what then are we to do? Accommodate them absolutely? Or.. accommodate their liberty!
@a_musingcat Also, Apple’s main incentive is to sell you the phone, not stay addicted to it 24/7. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Twitter, etc. are all incentivised to keep you addicted. This simple fact alone pushes Steve Jobs away from the blame imo.
@a_musingcat In contrast to Instagram or TikTok, the iPhone has obvious benefits, not merely just telling the time, messaging and calling but listening to music and being able to look anything up, these are vital improvements to standard of living across the board compared with pre-iPhone.
