I'll give you youtube videos, but nobody NEEDS to watch YouTube so everyone around them is subject to it.

If you need a constant feedback loop to remember how to behave then you're weak and won't survive the winter.

Not sure how that addresses the option of putting your phone to your ear for a phone call. All phones still have a non-speaker phone call option.

People shouldn't need to be publicly shamed into acting right.

Or they could, ya know, put the phone to their goddamn ear like a rational person. I don't buy that speakerphone is their ONLY choice, especially on public transit.

If I wake up at 1AM and it's daylight because my neighbor paid 1bn for some mirror time I'm becoming a terrorist

See that's the real problem. Wind energy isn't destroying enough land to make room for theme parks and parking lots.

Me: starting a Wheel of Time game from an out of print book based on 3.5e (mostly

My players: "can I roll perception?"

Me "you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Right? If I were a disabled adventurer I'd be driving a tank.

Nihilism. Nothing matters therefore I am free to do anything. If I choose to make a positive impact in my tiny part of the world, no matter how small it is a net positive compared to if I decide to do nothing. I tried apathy for a while and it served no-one, not even me.

If the best you can do is vote against fascism then that is OK. If the best you can do is show up to local town/village meetings and have your voice be heard that is OK. If the best you can do is vague-post online about the state of America, that's OK.

The only bad thing you can do is be silent. As long as you are willing to speak up about the issues that are important to you and the problems you see that need fixing, you are doing more than 90% of this country.

Live your life according to your values, and on those be uncompromising. Vote your conscience, and hold your elected officials to a higher standard. Realize that change comes slowly, and some things are simply out of your control.

You are not responsible for the things outside your power. You are not to blame for the failings of your nation. Have the greatest effect where you can and learn to recognize where you can't.

We're all in this together, and we're all pulling for ya.

I don't think this is unreasonable. Citizens in occupied territory won't be able to vote and elections would just add pressure to a country that's fighting a major conflict on its own soil.

However I would expect Zelensky to hold free and fair elections as soon as the conflict ends, especially if he wants Ukraine to be part of the EU and eventually NATO

Dear Tech CEOs

I do not want to see an advertisement. Ever.

I will pay a reasonable amount of money to NOT see fucking advertisements.

Stop trying to commodify my attention. I have the attention span of a meth'd up squirrel. It's not worth all that much.

I'd rather buy a worse TV than put up with your 'Free' ad spewing garbage.

Dear Google.

YouTube Music is shit. Stop trying to combine your other services into YouTube music.

Google Play Music was good. Google Podcasts was... not awful

YouTube Music is the worst of both services.

Just stop
