If that was a genuine consideration you would not have eaten a Pizza

Your life has to be extremely messy, to not just know which part of the day you are in. For knowing what time it is, 24h is unneccesary. For communicating time it makes sense.

To be fair i learnt cursive and i can still not decipher most of it, even my own writing (or rather especially my own writing)

My experience is more people having those devices on top of having laptops. I don’t know a single person in Uni that does not have a laptop at all. At last when it comes to writing reports or thesis you just need a proper keyboard device.

Meanwhile gaming and also PC gaming has become much bigger over the years, which keeps driving computer sales.

They are worse than cops. They are glorified for being vigilantes, who have no protocol or rules to observe.

1,45 m human or 2,15m human?

Looking at the past 4000 years of human history, starting with the Egyptian Pharaohs:

Nope. People dont care, people dont learn. Especially when the make a whole display of how much they learned, like Germany does, you should be worried. Behind the facade lies the fascism, like it is currently furthered by most German political parties.

“Weird phase for tech” is a nice euphemism for “knows what casettes are, but didn’t have to put them into computers anymore.”

I agree though that it is crazy. I remember it being a big thing for teenagers being 14,15 when i was 7 or 8 to get their own mobile phone. The kids born in 2001 onwards often had their first smartphone at 8 or 9

Which formative years? Everything until 25 is quite formative.

Don’t you have a mortgage to pay off? Hush hush to work, and leave the internet to us. Doesn’t matter if you were in some usenet mailing groups already, when most people couldn’t type on a keyboard.

Shooting? No. Flexing their guns? Yes:

i love it when the “this program is keeping the computer from shutting down” program is the shutting down program

Oh i absolutely agree that it is bullshit. In principle a constitution however is a reasonable thing for pledges. Politicians, judges, military and the like pledging to uphold and protect their countries constitution is a good thing. (Now whether they actually do that is another question.)

They can’t force you, but teachers can decide that your behaviour in class is uncooperative and your answers are bad, so you should get bad grades. Teachers can decide that when you report you have been beaten up by the Nazi gang in school that you are probably making it up as you are always looking for attention and making yourself be special.

The constitution is still the constitution, when you read it from a website. It is still the constitution, when it is read out loud. It is the text and interpretation that matters.

So in terms of pledges it is the least troublesome symbol.

If you take a look at pre 1943 US, you might see some inspirations for Hitler there.

Meanwhile otters and dolphins are raping baby seals for fun.

Don’t worry, they will figure out that without humans releasing gasses they have no purpose, so they will cull most of the human population but keep just enough to justify their existence to manage it.

Although you don’t need AI to figure that one out. Just look at the relationships between the US intelligence and military and “terrorist groups”.

Do you think people should be treated with respect? Do you think there should be consideration for your condition so you are not exempt from certain events, activities, opportunities?

These are matters of ideology. If you say yes to it, it is ideological in the same way when you say no to it. There is no inherent objective truth to these value questions.

Same for the economy. It doesn’t matter if you think that growth should be the main objective, or that equal opportunity should be the focus or sustainability or other things. You will have to make a value judgement and the sum of these values represent your ideology.
