That’s another concern for me. I don’t mind using banks’ web interfaces, but I wouldn’t want to be locked out of my accounts because OTP don’t work.

I switched from Windows 10 pro to Linux three months ago. I should have done it sooner. The experience so far has been positive.

But to be honest, I haven’t tried some applications I bought years ago for Windows (I guess I’ll use Wine or Proton for them.) I hope they are usable, but even if they won’t be, I won’t have any regrets about my decision.

Windows was a constant battle against enshittification. I was getting tired of it. I might do something similar with Android this year.

I feel for trans folks. Such an idiotic thing to fixate on them.

Oh but the pedophiles on certain files… sacred protection, right???

Not only that, but there are states in the U.S. that are still relatively safe compared to the rest. Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island… isn’t it easier to move there than to flee?

You’re* right.

Why can’t be both?

Why is he surrounded by russia apologists, then? Why hasn’t he invited putin to the white house and treat him like he treated zelenskyy? Putin is no moron. He knows that if the house gets too shaken (giving full support to Russia), then it will collapse (the rest of Nato nations is right next to him after all).

I’m not falling for no ruling class propaganda, my friend. I know who all the assholes are in this story.

Putin sucking up to Trump? No, my friend. Trump is Putin’s bitch. Always has, always will. Thinking otherwise is falling for their theater.

I’m not even talking about immigrants. I’m talking about even older ancestors. Invaders.

Which is stupid because their ancestors aren’t from this land. And millions of “not-whites” were forced to come here! Not that they will ever understand that.

Lol!

For other readers: Einstein expanded Newton’s findings. Classical vs quantum physics.

Lol!

I understand. Thanks!

Newtonian gravity and Aristotlean gravity have of course been entirely debunked

Can’t speak for the Aristotle part, but yup… that sentence is just bullshit. Don’t say stuff like this in public, man. It’s embarrassing.

Ok, I’m done with this topic.

Have a good weekend.

I fundamentally disagree with all you said. You’re essentially saying that we must believe in subjectivities, which is a core principle of all religions even if they don’t say so.

By remaining truly objective, I have preserved my capability to be free and to help those surrounding me.

Yours is just some other metaphysical philosophy, and the “soul” in soulism, a concept I don’t believe in at all, should have tipped me off.

Good luck with everything. Have a nice weekend.

I want you to open your mind to the impossible and question everything.

I can certainly do that.

I don’t really care whether you see gravity as inescapable

Well, this is not helping.

But sorry, absolutely no one can escape gravity. It’s everywhere in the universe. Can you escape Earth’s gravity? Sure. Good luck escaping the solar system’s gravity, or the galaxy’s gravity, or the local cluster’s gravity. So that’s my point. The Wright Brothers “example” is a non-starter.

Everything else you mentioned are not “natural laws.” They are human/social constructs, which you pointed out and we can agree on.

But I thought soulism went beyond that. It’s okay. Today I learned something new. Thanks.

I was about to downvote you for “colored”, but then saw what you did there.

I guess we don’t disagree, then.

You technically answered my question, but that verges in strawman territory, man. I was talking about the absurdity of considering gravity a form of human oppression. Can you tell me why I shouldn’t see it as absurd, given that it’s a natural, inescapable law?

Yes. Gravity does not ask one’s consent before pulling.

Lol you lost me here.

What about oxygen? We’re enslaved by it. We can’t escape it. What are you guys doing about it?

Some moderation is important today. I agree with your idealism, but let’s face it. Any unmoderated space would sooner rather than later be run to the ground by a swarm of AI bots, psyop agents, spammers and trolls.

Long gone are the days of pristine, unguarded forums.
