I don’t know what “based” means, and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

I still have the right, but it’s being routinely violated and not upheld by a supreme court that’s clearly in the tank.

Holy Christ, what are you guys doing on your phones to fuel this much paranoia? I have a constitutional right to privacy and i dont want my information/data (the very essence that makes me me) harvested and sold – for those reasons im opposed to most searches and i’ve never used biometrics. But the need to nuke my phone because a cop got it is so far from a necessity that I cant think of what im doing that I would need it.

I just can’t imagine how hard life would be to be illiterate. And me knowing me, id take it upon myself to learn to read if the educational system and my parents had failed me – I truly believe that. Is illiterate/partially illiterate a result of low IQ in every instance, or whats going on there?

The problem is our brains are now conditioned to want quick hits of entertainment and multitasking so businesses can cram as many adverts into us as possible. As a longtime adult, I feel it. Even with feature length films, not just books. I cant imagine how programmed the “youths” are, having grown up in this short attention span world of today… Its gotta be even harder for them to fight it and read a book or watch a movie from before 1996.

Just force yourself to do it for one hour twice a week, and it should spark something. It does for me.

Read “Project Hail Mary” … It was an easy, quick read, and really enjoyable.

“And then there were none” (formerly “Ten little indians”) by agatha christie is a another easy, enjoyable read.

There are book communities on the Fediverse that could help motivate you to read.

The Stones could write one hell of a catchy, riff, hook, and chorus tho. Their sloppy musicianship (im being generous) is part of their charm.

Im sure they invented a sound as much as any of the other groups that get credited with that nonsense.

God damn, i’ve never seen a comment that was more fucking correct than this. Bravo.
