Yes, ego. Absolutely no other possible interpretation. My deepest apologies for wasting your graciousness, I am so undeserving of it, and you illustrate your point oh so well here…

[For those who come across this and are confused about this exchange: Do take the other commenter’s original message to heart, and see the rest of his interactions for a demonstration of ‘intent’ vs ‘action’ for a glimpse of mine.]

I’m not sure if you meant to use “salient” here, but I definitely wasn’t trying make my writing that.

No, I meant ‘saliency’. The sentence called for the noun form, not the adjective base.

I just clearly failed to explain what it was that I found salient and it’s not as self-evident in the light of your message as I hoped. Alas.

I’m also not sure…state that thing should be in by now.

I appreciate the reiteration, but you’re still perpendicular parallel (Edit: Geometry is hard) to the point I was trying to make.

Which does not contradict yours, but seeks to expose the individualist core from which the sentiments you are focusing on one abstraction layer above stem from.

I was not focusing on individualist anything.

And then, “holding us back,” itself casts a normative…

Oh. This is my dear friend, ‘semantics’ and its effects on perception, isn’t it? That’s what’s going on here.

I have neither time, nor will for this particularly loathsome recurring motif, as of the time of this writing.

It does not matter if my point did not carry across, ultimately. Your message is still fine and if more people followed it, they’d arrive closer to what I was trying and failed to communicate anyways, so by all means, carry on.

The commenter you replied to, basically described basic human-ing for you, and why it works and has always worked, in the past.

Your rebuttal is focused on…the Internet as an object of stagnant sociocultural jamming, is that right? I think that was the gist.

I won’t engage that directly at the moment, as it could just as easily be insight with poor communication skills behind it, as it could be a strange conspiracy theory, as it could be propaganda meant to deflate and discourage.

All equally plausible places to come from, because you keep repeating the same bits and not going deeper.

We should be choosing lower effort and maximizing for effect. Protests are high effort low effect. Online culture jamming is low effort, high effect. It is logic to anyone who thinks about this honestly

What is a low effort-high effect action you believe we should be taking?

On the same token, if your tactics to achieve a strategy which you’ve yet to share are sound…what are high effort and low effect actions we can force the opposition into making?

Really makes one wonder…How many fucking data points do these assholes need telling them we’re too fucking broke for their game and want their heads on pikes?

I think a lot of people don’t realize that they’re making conservative, revisionist narratives when they want to privilege hypocrisy in their arguments rather than morality.

Too many words past saliency. You attribute more than the source problem is.

“Institutions are what they do, not what they say they want to do.”

Is the correctly angled form of a pattern of thinking that starts within the individual, and it often looks like:

“Judge me by my intentions, not my actions”

It takes a certain requisite amount of empathy and critical thinking to flip ‘intention’ and ‘actions’ into their proper paths using the self awareness route.

The only meaningful shortcut is the existence of a well patterned role-model(s) in that individual’s life.

Both are in short supply nowadays, leading not to self awareness correction, but to expanding the conceit outwards. “If the Christians were like…If the Senators were like…if Capitalism was like…”.

A simple trap, and one of the most effective ones in holding us back as a collective.

What you’re looking for was added to core Android since Android 15.

Have you checked in your settings thoroughly?

With specific DND settings and the various notifications options, you can achieve several different levels of “being notified” all under your control.

If on older Android versions than 15, a mix of DND settings set to detect driving and/or a tasker or similar app group to set the notifications for specific apps to go into “snooze” would also achieve the same effects.

There’s also at least one open source project I saw on my brief search that had an app that basically mimics the notification cooldown system but I didn’t linger enough to determine project state.

^ I vote this comrade get first dibs at the time machine.

Birth and the associated death come from going vagina -> world.

Clearly, if you go: world -> vagina, but the vagina belongs to the conceptual font of birthing life, and you exit it through where said concept eats from, you link birth with eternal feasting.

Duh.

I firmly believe that you can judge a civilization by whether their creation myths, folklore figures, and proto-deities are all on team phallus or team vulva.

Most of the “good” ones by classical to modern standards; team vulva.

I will neither elaborate nor go dig up references because that’s work and then a reader might be denied looking up ancient stone penises and vaginas for an afternoon, and that would be tragic.

They too. Full stop. Unequivocally. Your response to that is?

I look forward to when they’re replaced with Dig Dug to find the hidden Trumpcoin wallet from the bunker with the three corpses inside a serving cart.

Comrade. It was perfect without the edit.

Hey! Some of us sociopaths don’t give a fuck about titles, position, and power!

In times of abundance we just happily feign whatever is in the best interest of being able to happily feign, which usually helps out the tribe and that’s why we got to keep making enough babies to pass that along.

Ethics and morality are complex/expensive, no doubt about that. Everything you said (except equating all sociopaths with the same angles of sociopathy) is true, no question.

Luckily, our selfish drive to get back to the comfy and unassuming does tend to result in…headaches for the other, less integrating members of the worst of humanity class.

We’re outnumbered though and can’t tell precisely when it’s time to stop trying to feign along and go dispassionately tear apart the obstacles standing between us quietly living in the metaphorically cave near the village and basking in the sounds of a happy society whose periphery is all we need to get by.

It ain’t like that, abusive and such. It’s more like, not investing enough to finish the

🧮📐🦍…So if we assume chud is worth 16B…he’s an investor so…ok let’s assume 4.3ish surging daily…86400 seconds in a day so with the max penalty and the offset…

A $38,816,439 daily bleed. About 25 days to lose a cool billion, not bad.

But some of these rapist dragons have paid that much just to avoid wealth taxes that would about equal that.

Nah, make it bigger. It should hurt him within the week, same as losing a paycheck does to most of us.

Most of it is GPU RAM that those gamers won’t be able to use.

Not yet, and not with that attitude. If a comrade were to facilitate the means of production via alleged seizing there of, a list of how to get them in the hands of the correct furries and/or thigh-high sock aficionados could be sourced relatively easily…

There’s quite a bit of folk itching to get their soldering irons heating and the jank started ahead of the bubble collapse.

No harm done, and I certainly understand a thing or two about failing to communicate myself in a way that is parse-able by others and retains my intent. I understand that all too well.

As for broken arrows: “A Broken Arrow is defined as an unexpected event involving nuclear weapons that result in the accidental launching, firing, detonating, theft, or loss of the weapon.”

The nuclear powers all have way too many embarrassingly stupid ones on record, given that you’d expect nuclear weapons to be the literal most important thing with the literal most stringent procedures for handling.

There was one in NM in the 50s with some limited contamination exposed in the local area, and I thought that’s what you were referring to.

Wikipedia has a neat list of both broken arrows (military accidents) and civilian ones, involving nuclear technology.

The racism is just the lead in for class-ism.

Yes. That is also implied in my comment, under a careful read. The progression is the same and has been there in the US forever.

Their dream model is:

Immigration - > Opposing Ideologies - > Racism -> Ethno state -> Enforced hierarchy on the remaining population

Every single one of those steps are all enforcing class division. There isn’t any other war besides class war.

But the mechanisms the fascist leverages to achieve it don’t include them screaming it out, for obvious reasons.

Racism, is what made the centrist be okay with MLK’s assassination. His beginning to move the message from the racism cover story employed by the system, to the class-division foundations beneath, the reason he was killed.

I’m not entirely sure how to interpret your on fire analogy, except to agree that everything is indeed on fire?

Also pretty sure you’re referring to a broken arrow incident with the AF thing? Yeah, there’s literal and metaphorical nuclear bombs out there waiting for the fire to reach them, I can dig that.

They’re not compatible, under the current paradigms. You’re not wrong, imo.

But neither is the commenter you’re replying to.

It ain’t going away, and as it is (in every respect from function to marketing to access) ‘AI’ is currently absolutely poisonous for mental development, no matter the age.

But that’s not inherently married to the way it will always be used.

Imo, the ban should be in place all the way in K-12, for no less than 5 years, and some resources devoted to enable school districts to engage the necessary mechanisms to assess how to marry the use of AI technology into educational use, with an actual thorough process in place to assess how and if it can be done in a manner beneficial to educational goals.

It’s not enough to have a techbro declare it the best thing in the world for learning, a child development psychologist declare it the worst thing to exist, and an education expert sitting between them looking anguished.

They need to all be locked in the same room, metaphorically speaking, and honestly arrive at a form that is meaningfully impactful to student outcomes (if one can be found), before it’s something that schools should attempt to use within the curriculum.

This post is cursed.

Not because of the insane jank, of course. That’s on brand for self host and I love it.

It is cursed because it has awakened something in me, and I can feel every old laptop in my vicinity trembling in fear.
