Tresspassing? It doesn't work that way.. Didn't 20 years ago and doesn't now.

I've seen stuff on Reddit that most would consider 10x worse, but it's Covid related so therefore it's a touchy subject and gets over-reacted upon by default.. If it was 10 or 15 years ago I don't think this would happen. Either way, while it's true that private companies have the right to do whatever they want regarding their content or who gets banned, the status quo lately with a lot of these companies is kind of disturbing, and could be setting precedents that could be used later on to encroach on the rights of these companies and their successors in the not so distant future.

I can't say I'm familiar with any of this, nor do I subscribe to any of these conspiracy theories but something about a the statement about a "new normal" of compliance, and them getting banned on reddit is kind of funny, as it is sort of a compliance thing. Seems like a self fulfilling prophecy, or something .

Either way Just seems there is too much censorship nowadays, and stuff about covid is a really touchy subject. I don't know why so many internet sites are so eager to hit the ban hammer nowadays. It's kind of disturbing. I grew up on the Internet in the 90's and early 2000's. This kind of stuff would have never happened. Now it seems you can get banned for saying anything that isn't politically correct. I guess that's the new normal of compliance they speak of, and I don't know what to think of the world of today.

You could say that about anything. Scratch-off lottery tickets. E-mail, etc. Not sure that the dopamine factor is the right thing to focus on especially when it's being misunderstood and therefore a lot of people are being misinformed.

I've seen a ton of similar headlines lately regarding "dopamine". Most of the articles, especially the "dopamine detox" related material are written by people who clearly don't understand how this stuff works. I don't understand the obsession lately with these things. Maybe we are just getting dumber as our devices get smarter.

I'm still trying to understand what the big deal is about Covid. Is there any evidence that Covid is any worse than the Flu in most cases ? Also I don't understand what the big push for a huge percent of the population to get vaccinated is.. It seems like natural herd immunity would be inevitable anyways. I'm not anti vaccine at all. I just don't see the need for it personally. I also might have already had it.. A couple people from work recently had covid. They were out for 2 weeks. I was feeling a little sick a few weeks ago. Stuff tasted weird and I had a weird headache for a couple days, along with fever-like chills but without a high fever. I felt like I could possibly call in sick from work but I felt I could still work without feeling too bad. Not sure what it was, but It was different than anything I've had before. I've had worse cases of the Flu to be honest. After about 4 days most symptoms went away.

I hear about it on the news all the time. The only factual stuff I've discerned from all the news is that It seems a lot of people are afraid of what they don't understand. It's something we haven't seen before, so it's not fully understood. Seems like the people most at risk are the elderly or those with pre-existing conditions. Just like with anything else. But all this news coverage seems to have promoted a mentality of it being something bigger than it actually is. Am I missing something here?

Merely crossing the street is a potentially fatal hiking route.. Actually crossing the street in general is probably riskier than these hiking routes in question.. Sad that we are not taking our own personal responsibility in the world and leaving it in the hands of some device.

I think in the big picture, the definition of an "App" is rather ambiguous.

Isn't that the rules ?

Yes, it's probably possible to predict this stuff, but somehow I predict an app in the near future with a high margin of error and false positives.

Unrelated note. I wonder what disease people who turn their engines off at stoplights and fast food drive-thrus suffer from... I no longer have a car, so I've been riding a bicycle for a few years, and I see this a lot. There will be a red light, and as soon as it turns green, I hear their starter motor start their engine. Literally 5 seconds.. This was common in SUV's back when gas was $5 per gallon 10 years ago, but In an econobox that already gets 40 miles to the gallon ??? I don't get it.

Heh. People worried about privacy and the government spying on them tend to fail at critical thinking properly, or arent properly educated. I blame the media for that. Here's all they need to know. Here's the golden rule that I go by. They have bigger fish to fry and I don't have anything to hide. So don't give them a reason to target you. It's that simple. Corporations have much more on you than the government. Corporate entities know more about you than you know about yourself. Most most of the general public probably realizes that, but they generally don't know that these companies sell and share this data with other companies, and sometimes the government.. But the details of all that are too complicated and boring for headlines on the popular news media outlets.

Oh well. I wanted to try this out just to say I had government software, but it looks like they don't have a windows app available. ;(

I forgot the name of the TV show, but I remember seeing this on discovery channel over 20 years ago about how life started on earth. It is unknown but many have theorized that it was lightning.

Wow. this is disturbing I wonder if they will have "carbon credits" for bitcoining in the future... I'm hooking my wal-mart chromebook up to solar panels and windmills. I can say I have "carbon neutral' bitcoins and get brownie points from a P.R. perspective. These corporate investors should look into this, like they did with "contact-less" and "social distancing".

Maybe eventually we can get legislation for this... New law: You can only use a certain amount of idle CPU cycles for mining operations... Oh well..

If George Carlin were alive he would be having a field day with the euphemisms of today... lol
