    As you say, tools are just tools. Even a dumb phone and CD players are “technology.” You can use a hammer to build a house, or you can use it to break into a house and kill the owner. The tool itself really doesn’t hold any sin.

    Some people prefer to use older tools, though. It often gives them more of a feeling of connection, especially if we’re talking about the things they grew up with. So, there’s nothing wrong with choosing older technology just because you feel like it, either.

    100% agreed. A Reddit clone with Reddit amounts of users will end up almost as bad as Reddit. The thing that makes Reddit worse in that situation is that they are a public company.

    This platform would have to evolve a lot before it can deal with so many users. There has to be some significant innovation and improvement in moderation and administration, or more users would inevitably lead to endemic misinformation and power tripping and all of that shit you see on Reddit.


  • If a car hits something stationary, it is always the driver’s fault, with a few uncommon exceptions, such as if somebody hit the car first, pushing it into that other thing, or if the car in front of them plows into it without slowing down, and they don’t have time to react. It is one of a driver’s most basic responsibilities not to hit something that is just sitting there in the road.







  • I was talking to a coworker about how I thought public transit was superior to individual cars, and so we should put a lot more investment into it, and his response was, “You’ll have to pry my car keys out of my cold dead hands.”

    Like, dude, I wasn’t even talking about that.

    Anyways, my point is that a big thing missing from this is how people often build their identities around their stupid fucking cars.
