Asking for a friend,
Who in that thumbnail?

rule 34 says at least half

Well where is the all of it, and why is it all so tough to find for willing individuals? I seek to be more aware I promise

Took the words out me mouth perfectly

when the memes start really only talking to you in particular…
+1

Do other countries not condemn us ultimately for this stuff? Like Russia invaded another nation and the whole world ‘sanctioned’ them economically, why has no one sanctioned US for these mass injustices?

How long was it down? I thought I was an idiot and setup on another instance lol

I also was hoping it was different from USAian. Needs more 'Merica

Is this real or some kind of joke? I’m just now learning about all of this and am almost traumatized honestly.

How…How have I gone so long without hearing about any of this at all? Like I always hear we are evil, but the specifics are chalked up to ‘cold war hysteria/propaganda’

Consider me spooked, and many thanks for the awareness boost OP!

don’t let good be the enemy of perfect

This is a beautiful expression, and certainly one I needed to hear today
Many thanks comrade!

I think the sense of losing touch with the speed of new tech is unavoidable in our current state of over-reliance on it. In this sense, if you feel you aren’t losing touch with it, you’re probably misunderstanding the scale/depth of our rapidly accelerating situation imho

Knowledge is naturally paranoiac

radiation exists in like everything to some small degree tho right?

why do we do this? Is it an american thing?

You have now anti-sold me and hyper-enlightened me with some very worthwhile wisdom. I can not say thank you enough–I truly need more like you in my life

It’s always hegel. It’s always a fundamental impossibility that exists in everything. Has there really been 0 philosophers of any merit since Hegelian dialectics?

You are selling me mr. Fudge. I still need to do a lotta research but you are def sellin me here

Do you really not see an issue with the approach being taken here? You’re looking for resources that you assume will help you, but in the spirit of the matrix movies, “You can’t see past the decisions you haven’t made yet.”

The brain hasn’t evolved to retain information it doesn’t deem useful. I guess what I’m really getting at is, how can you be confident that anything supplied here will be retained if you were previously unaware you even needed to know in the first place? Don’t underestimate the value of deep learning via experience rather than preparation imho. I promise I’m not shade-throwing, I was much like you when I was younger and have a couple similar reddeet posts, and it was mostly wasteful preparing to prepare nonsense if that makes sense.

I respect these words of wisdom immensely as someone who should have had a mentor spell this out for me years ago. I’m not trying to bothsides you at all because I agree with you 99%. I just wanted to add a few niche areas like appliance/car/repairs/etc, videoform can be lifesavingly convenient in pinches But most importantly reading is fundamental
