I went to a Jonas Brothers concert with my wife a few years ago and I had this same worry. I went, was overwhelmed by how much my ears hurt from how loud the entire crowd of women screaming was, and ended up enjoying the performance, even if I feel like I was sticking out for now being that excited.

There was some solace in seeing other dudes in the crowd, probably feeling exactly like I was

Nope, you’re right. We know everything there is to ever know and nothing will ever change. We’ve peaked as a species, there is literally nowhere else to go from here.

Yes? Not the principles behind them, but our understanding of them as a species.

You’re a boring doomer who thinks humans will never find, create, or invent something we’ve never done before? Seriously? What kind of boring hill is that to die on?

Sure, friend. You can see reality thousands of years into the future and know exactly what happens.

My bad.

Are you a round earth nutter?

It’s not going to happen. No one is going to get past the edge of the world or sail the whole world or find new land.

Bad attitude, bad attitude. Fuck off with this pointless complaining.

That was back when designers were given fun tasks to be as creative as possible.

This still happens, you’re just old and cynical.

Of course, I personally think the biggest failure of Android is the apple-ifying of the phone design. There are exceptions, but it feels like every flagship is trying to just make an android flavored iPhone.

Potentially overreaching law is great excuse for an organization to make an unpopular change. Now it’s not their fault, they had to do it.

Skype still exists?

Not voluntarily.

Every comment you make is being stored on hundreds of hard drives, I bet you can guess how ethical the entire process of creating those was.

Better not continue, otherwise you might continue participating in unethical consumption.

You care too much over something that is so significantly unimpactful.

Who cares? Who makes a new account just to ask this sort of leading question?

Easy to miss when it pops up in the all feed every so often. If you’re not paying attention you might just do it.

TIL: I’m not a grown up because I use the all feed instead of subscribing to specific communities.

Damn that’s tough.

Perhaps we should also hold the rope, knife, and various chemical manufacturers responsible.

The bridge architect? He designed a bridge that people jumped off of, so he’s at fault for sure.
