See, I legitimately can't even tell if you're trolling or not.

Phonics is dogshit and it's being phased out in favour of whole word reading here.

You should not learn spelling by "sounding out" much of anything, you should learn it through reading text and remembering how words are spelt.

My god man, what the fuck is wrong with your grammar?

Agreed.

But the issue is with both of the words extremists and religious. No extremists extremist thinks that they are one . Heck , heck, I can assure you that most think that our rejection of religion is extream extreme.

And religiose religious people rarely admit their restrictions are come from religion.

Even when using the Bible to justify shit, They they will argue it is actually science or common sense.

Their There is a need to term unacceptable laws as unacceptable in a way that forces them to openly argue that their restrictions do not apply or that they are actually a form of religious extremism.

(what does this sentence mean?)

Or actually are religious extremism. The latter is close to impossible.

Let's Be honest with ourselves ., I agree that trans equality laws should exist . , but only 20 or to 30 years ago the majority of society as a majority society considered them to be extream extreme. Some off of us remember it even if we disagreed with that framing at the time.

Gay marriage was def extream extreme when I was in my teens . , Gary and in my parents' teens - gay rights at all in general were considered extreme in my parents teens , something which they did not agree with. (They also disagreed.)

And a very small % of any of those opposed to these things considered their religious ideals as a significant element in their opposition.

It's not about empathy or kindness or any of that dumb shit.

It's about the simple fact that capitalist economics can't exist in perpetuity without an exploitable population, if most people are no longer able to work, push enough people to enough desperation and they will kill you if it keeps them warm, and there ain't enough bullets in the world that'll stop all of them.

On the other hand if you make sure the people have their bread, then one of them might become the nurse that'll make you comfortable when you pass away, or a scientist that'll cure you when you're sick, or a techbro who'll invent something that you'll like, or a writer who'll make a good show you'll enjoy, or whatever, really.

If you're a true egoist, you're an altruist also. Libertarianism would've been cool, but it just isn't actually possible, and people like Musk aren't libertarians, no libertarian could argue against trans people because a true lolbert would know it's people's economic freedom all the same.

People like Musk are actual nazis who keep the wignaggery on the DL because it's unpalatable. They're not your friends, but collectively (rather than individually), humanity is your friend.

Hello Reddit!

While on the surface I'm very tempted to say "broken clock", it's far more likely that their aim isn't a gift to the commons, but to instead have the free reign to stomp out smaller players in the data harvesting space with raw monetary power through corporate espionage and hoard more data and create better AI models to replace more workers and cut costs.

This is an overreaction. Drugs do fix problems and sometimes hard work just isn't actually enough and if anything my experience has been mostly just humouring doctors until I get to the drugs and that actually fixing the issue I had.

No matter what I could try I simply cannot fix my ADHD, and concentration is really the least of my worries, but amphetamines fix it like magic, and the way I even found out I have ADHD is by getting amphetamines from DNMs long before getting them prescribed legitimately.

There are no "healthy habits" I could form when I'm literally unable to form habits without the background dopamine needed for executive function, which is something vyvanse provides for me. Similarly there was no amount of gender non-conformity or societal change that would have fixed my crippling gender dysphoria and I'm glad I just on blockers and HRT as a teen and later got surgery because that was just very literally the fix and I'm just fine now.

Similarly, We're just now finding out that not only does exercise nor a "healthy" diet have a causal relationship with weight, but that some people are just genetically wired to be more hungry and we have meds that fix that and from then on the "hard work" becomes actually doable, and whaddaya know - being less hungry makes you eat less.

Just as you are saying doctors are incorrect for jumping to the conclusion of using drugs first, you are incorrect by jumping to the conclusion that the individual is to blame for their condition and that they should have to do some kind of work to get better, which is a touchstone of 'Christian work ethic' framework where bad/lazy people do bad/lazy things because they are lazy/bad.

I know it's annoying to accept sometimes that miracle cures exist because it feels unsatisfying, but I think when it comes to skepticism of medicine it is best to be specific rather than draw broad conclusions from a preference for "holistic" vibes and a healthy distrust of capitalism and privatised medicine.

You're right, but I think it's also massively underdiagnosed in certain groups like women, immigrants from countries with shit views on mental health.

I will choose neither as I don't have any time for games

I've literally never heard of any of them. I knew the rules of chess since I was 5 or 6.

It is a leftist idea and it is good business.

Likely won't work.

Buuut, what if the government made an alternative social media kids could access?

All while making access to adult social media extremely inconvenient (at this point the big ones should require IDs I'm sorry internet freedom bros I don't see another option).

This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid's school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever, to teach kids that with free speech comes the responsibility for one's speech and it's consequences, plus that could also just repell them from the concept outright.

This social media would have no data harvesting/personalized algorithm, no encryption and full ID checks on sign ups and 100% human moderation, just chronological sorting and a paginated feed, with filters by local and country-wide, and parents would have to pay a small fee for it.

I've been debating whether or not I experience empathy, because I certainly do not do any of that "mirroring" shite the school PD teacher tried to convince me exists (which I'm still not entirely convinced exists as an adult) and most of the time people try to guess how I am feeling they are incredibly wrong and I really have no clue how anyone else is feeling or what the fuck is going on in their heads.

I'm pretty observant and if I think about it I'm usually accurate enough for basically a blind guess, but it seldom if ever involves anything to do with emotions and is definitely not automatic. I definitely do not experience anything resembling their mind state as a sort of dream or hallucination much like how I don't experience memories as visions, it's more like raw data from which different types of constructs can be made, and I analyze them like I analyze the logic of an argument, or the flow of a computer program or any other such system.

I also don't feel feelings by proxy, if anything - if I was having a shit day and someone else was happy I'd probably seethe about the fact I'm not doing well also, the most comforting thing to me in misery is commiseration. E.g. if I sprained my wrist I'd go read stories of others doing so, and feel better because now I know it could be worse and that I'm not alone in the experience. This to me is just basic solidarity. But I wouldn't go reading about people having good days with unsprained wrists because I'd just feel shittier about my own luck then.

And I generally do hate people, at least as individuals, I would pay good money to be as far the fuck away from most of them as possible and I see interactions on the internet as a much needed upgrade to the in-person stuff, but I don't wish any harm to humanity or any particular innate-characteristic-based grouping thereof collectively, in fact I have a really strong sense of justice (and a huge disdain for injustice and inequality) and highly egalitarian values overall, not because I have empathy for some individual(s), but because it's a better future for everyone that we can build, which is just conceptually satisfying for the lack of a better word, and humanism and leftism are just appropriate frameworks for creating such a world I think. I'm def one of those people who wouldn't hurt a fly.

Tribalism is utterly foreign to me, yet at the same time I believe loyalty to your friends and S.O. and any other found family are everything. I'm generally pretty emotional myself, not to like a negative degree, but I do experience them.

So idk, what do you think, random internet stranger I monologues at for five paragraphs?

It's a shame the nu-Trek is utter mass appeal apolitical dogshit that has nothing to say about anything except that Alex Kurtzman should not be let anywhere near a production of anything other than a Big Mac.

EDIT: By the way, if anybody is looking for something with the same sort of tight drama, clever storytelling and progressive politics (but not virtue signaling for its own sake) and confronting complicated issues and good people doing what's right overcoming them, but would also like it to be a bit more human, down to earth and character centric then trek veteran writer of TNG and DS9 - Ronald D. Moore and I - his biggest fan girl this side of the internet - would like to invite you to watch For All Mankind.

It is an alternate history show where the soviets "win" the race to the moon and the space race continues and every season is set in a new decade, or at least that is the tagline because underneath the goofy premise and out of context clips of the sea dragon or nuclear space planes or AK-47s wielded by cosmonauts on the moon, what you'll find is a tightly written complex drama about an ensemble cast of characters and their changing relationships to themselves, each other and the tumultous world around them.

The show covers everything from the consequences of operation paperclip, misoginy, red scare and cold war distrust to civil rights, feminism, yuppie culture, privatisation of space, startup culture, homophobia, labour unions, psychedelics, PTSD, opioids, threat of nuclear war, militarization and so, so much more.

I really can't say enough good things about it. Oh yeah - the licensed song choice is great. Petula Clark's The World Song, M83, Smashing Pumpkins, John Lennon screaming his lungs out in 'Well Well Well'? And that earworm song from actual IRL North Korea which is the first and only song I've ever heard of theirs? If only they didn't use 'Come as You Are' but oh well nothing's perfect.

The first season is a bit rough in places at the start as the show finds it's footing and the stupid generically modern intro animation and music really sucks but S2 is an actual masterpiece of TV.

Idk I just find dark mode depressing as fuck. I already stare at terminals enough.

Kids don't game. Why would you when there's sensory content on tap?

Go lick the boot more. There's more to the world than some fucking computers. Go download yourself some grass and touch it.

If you're running externally, use a cloudflare tunnel.

No ports exposed = no attack surface. This is 99% of security.

HTTPS is provided by CF although only secures comms between your devices to CF, not CF to your Pi, meaning CF can see clear text technically.

If that's not good enough then use a VPN server like PiVPN and put it on your pi and OpenVPN on your devices. *This has nothing to do with paid VPN Client subscriptions like Tunnelbear or Proton or whatever. *

You will be running a VPN server on your pi to which you will connect from your devices on which you want to watch JF by downloading a device profile to your devices and opening it in the OpenVPN app.

You do not need to pay for anything at all anywhere ever (other than something for DDNS and a domain name), use a strong password and make sure your JF is updated if there's any CVE. Expose nothing else to the internet.

You don't even need HTTPS at that point or any certs, a VPN will encrypt your traffic anyway. The only cleartext you'll have is between your VPN and your JF, and if both are on the pi then the only MITM vector is literally inside your Pi which is unlikely to have any issues.
