  • Most things you can do with your money are unethical, i.e. support a bad system that unnecessarily hurts people.

    As far as that goes though, imo visiting the DPRK is a relatively bad one. I don't see the benefit for yourself, you get to see a tour of exactly what they want you to see, nothing real will ever be experienced. You put yourself in massive danger, tourists there have been detained and killed. All the money you spend goes directly to support the authoritarian government, which only seems to care about giving themselves a life of luxury and their people barely enough so they can maintain their luxury.

    You do get a view of an authoritarian regime working firsthand, which is a positive, but I just feel like it's already good/bad enough to know about it than having experienced it yourself.

    So yeah, imo massive amount of reasons against, almost none for.

  • I mean if everyone "collective action" ignored them together, no one would have to waste even 5 minutes ¯(ツ)_/¯

    And theoretically, if there would be the same amount of scammers as decent people, everyone would have to waste all their time with your strategy, but with my strategy none of the decent people would waste time.

    But yes I understand it of course, protecting the weak is not a bad thing.

  • So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D which one the main one is also sometimes changes based on events/drama

    Seems to me just people being resistant to change just because it's change.

  • Can I try an alternate android version without nuking my phone?

    Jump

  • It's relatively easily possible to emulate android on your PC. Install "android studio", which then allows you to create android virtual devices. However, I don't know how to get custom system images on there, this could be more work, which you'll have to find out yourself.

  • I mean this is unironically how it should go. People* don't change because you tell them some good arguments. They change because they'll be confronted by the consequences of their actions, and the hurt that comes along with it. It's unfortunate but it has never been different for our species.

    *if you are socialized in a way to see the value in good arguments, admitting of being wrong, then arguments may work. But not by default.

  • Those who went from good student, to great college student, to disorganized dopamine mess post college what do you do to manage yourself and get back to that organization and level of focus?

    Jump

  • I don't. Organization and focus is overrated, I thrive without them no problem.

  • Is there anything the internet can't do? [NSQ Friday]

    Jump

  • The internet has not fucked me anally either.

    Unless you count the dildos I bought online, which then fucked me anally... Oh no... It really can do anything!

  • Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?

    Jump

  • I'm sorry, but it's likely literally impossible for this to be the leading paradigm for 10% of people. Maybe 10% would work but I think it'd already be problematic.

    You have to remember that the only reason you got these things was because other people didn't need them anymore. Why didn't they need it anymore? Because they bought new stuff.

    And you surely didn't get all these things from a single household. Many different households had to get new stuff so their old stuff became available. It's likely that more than 10 households are necessary to sustain 1 person that gets everything used, because not everyone buys new things all the time, and stuff often breaks instead of still being fine to use.

    I personally would eyeball 1-5% of people could do this like you, but this is just a complete unsubstantiated feeling, a guess.

  • I only remember some study with beards in men, how it is cyclical in the sense that when everyone has a beard, a beardless man stands out and thus signals to potential partners their "difference". Same when most people are clean-shaven. And thus the sexual need to "stand out" gets served by being bearded when everyone is shaved, and being shaved when everyone is bearded, resulting in a cycle.

    I suspect it's similar with pubic hair.

  • Isn't git technically already P2P? Everyone has the complete repo, and everyone can pull from everyone else, as long as a connection can be established. The networking/organization of this is just not automatic.
