Skandal!

I would absolutely support pre-funding a GrapheneOS phone

The 4 chord song! I had totally forgotten about this

Elderly people will absolutely believe they need to buy a new computer. They don’t understand the tech, just hear Win 10 will no longer be supported and their computer can’t run Win 11, so new PC.

Thanks. Noom didn’t work for me 🫤

Do you mind sharing the app you used?

This may be true but people with ADHD are significantly more likely to have car accidents. This is a well studied and documented phenomenon. Just because it happens to others doesn’t mean it isn’t a serious ADHD risk.

Have you tried putting a treat on top of the camera?

An e-book and a sofa

Sadly, not true. Most people in South Africa still drive manual cars because they’re cheaper. The drivers aren’t any better. Anyone can learn to drive a manual, it just takes a little longer.

Personally, I suspect that automatic cars are safer because there is less the driver can do wrong in an emergency.

I feel you, although I’m not sure this counts as minor

Please could you define what you understand by “high logic”?

Personally, I’m only familiar with “higher-order logic” as defined in maths. So for me, someone with “high logic” has the ability to interconnect and solve complex problems, which is one of the key skills measured by IQ tests.

Realising your beliefs and reality do not align doesn’t require complex logical reasoning, so for me the statement you quoted doesn’t mean high logic.

Your bias is showing. Intelligence isn’t necessary to be left wing. Change is hard for everyone and requires emotional intelligence, not IQ.

Would you mind sharing more details on your experience?

Like, was it a single person that got you thinking, or feedback from a group?

Is there a particular conversation that you remember as the start of change, or rather a gradual shift over time?

Did/was something happen(ing) in your personal life at the time that made you more open to hearing another opinion?

No, you hand them in for recycling.

We have a lot of existing plastic. Until we can destroy it without harming the climate, the best we can do is re-use it and not make more. What’s the alternative, have it sit in a dump somewhere poisoning the earth and seeping into underground water?

Pannekoek in Afrikaans, pancakes in South African English.

The thick American version we call flapjacks.

Does it have to be a watch? I love my Oura ring.

Create a shortcut to make your screen grayscale. When the alarm goes off, hit 15 min snooze and grayscale. When the alarm goes the 2nd time, turning off will be possible.
