Musk claimed that a journalist just posting their names was committing a crime. Doing real harm to his little twerps would probably put you first in line for the Gulag

The North American mind can't comprehend cities where there's no split between residential/urban areas, and every mode of public transportation goes from your house to anywhere you want. Even the next town or country

The difference is more like automatic vs manual transmission. If you've only ever used automatic, the mere idea of gears to push is enough to scare most people out of learning. It's the same with servers/instances and social media

Edit: spelling

The difficulty is asking people to get started with this. People want to get to work/navigate as quickly as possible to where they need to be, they don't want to be figuring it out. Social media can be janky and you'll be patient, but if you're late for something because you're struggling to adjust to an app you're more likely to go back to Google/Apple Maps

Prior to that incident, he had served two months in detention in South Korea on charges that he had assaulted two people and kicked a police car.

He did so many insane things but they still found time to tell us about him kicking a police car

It's totally fine to be interested in these things. Where it gets murky is when people say things like: women with too much testosterone are too good and should take drugs to block their natural testosterone levels. Just because someone is at that 1% advantage level doesn't mean we should stop them from competing. If anything we should let them cook so we can see what the upper limits of human potential could be

Instead of using YouTube for guidance, why don't you talk to your Imam on Friday. The answer you get will be 1000 times more compassionate, practical and in-line with what your belief systems are than watching 'Blacks for Trump' videos.

It really sounds like you're brainwashed by online content if you're a pro-Trump muslim when Trump is the most anti-Muslim President in history. He literally tried to stop all Muslims entering the United States and then changed it to 'countries which happen to be muslim' when he was told it was illegal and discriminatory. The list of Islamophobic Trump quotes is endless, and if you're going to search the internet for anything I suggest you start there.

Unless you're a multi-millionaire or your last name is Trump, this guy is not your friend. He is nobody's friend. Please stop caping for him on the internet because you're only hurting yourself

OP is literally saying they want less life... I wouldn't consider an artificially manicured patch of grass to be much life anyway. The overgrown druid land OP describes sounds much better to me

Gambling is not physically addictive, but for its worst addicts it's as ruinous as cigarettes.

Social media is similar in that the dependence is psychological, and the harm caused can vary from basically none, to tremendous psychological and material damage (up to and including suicide as a result of self-esteem, bullying or body issues).

I would agree that it's our generation's cigarettes simply because it's ubiquitous and the impact on both health and society is unquestioned by the masses. It simply is. We don't smoke on a plane anymore because we don't want to give everyone cancer, but we don't take the same precautions to protect unconsenting individuals, like children, from becoming mush-brained iPad babies manipulated by the TikTok and YouTube algorithms.

Let's not forget that social media, Facebook to be specific, is blamed for fanning the flames of multiple ethnic conflicts in Asia and Africa that have ended in genocide. It's likely that cigarettes do more harm to the individual user, but social media does more harm to society. This is something we will have to reckon with in the future, and once we establish sensible controls and norms we'll wonder how we lived like this for so long.

The public transport infrastructure is good enough to handle most people's needs. Trains and buses cover the entire city and are regular enough to rely on.

There will always be journeys that require cars, but a lot of people just want comfort, especially if they come from more car-centric parts of the country

Yeah but uncomfortably tight leather pants that one woman told me was sexy 40 years ago probably ain't it

That was my sense too. OP isn't letting his kid learn the hard lessons for themselves.

Also what kind of an excuse is it to say she sucks at typing? With practice she will improve, so let her do her own homework
