Not from State Farm. Sorry to disappoint. I’m just a half-Iranian American exploring the fediverse. I am interested in science, tech, philosophy, animals, comedy, a wide range of music, and even politics. Though the politics in my country are plain depressing atm.

Direct message

Maybe the DNC policies for their primaries need to be changed. Like maybe they shouldn’t be able to over rule the primaries like they did with Burnie or be able to decide that there will be no primaries like they did this year.

Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment. You are correct that thinking the world would be perfect without social media is pretty juvenile thinking.

You act like social media is just providing access to the unfortunate state of the world rather than using manipulative algorithms to drive engagement by only showing the most inflammatory content. Whether it is technically factual or out right misinformation it only shows that which creates a strong emotional response thus only showing the worst the world has to offer. The fact you believe that is reality just goes to show how effective it is at creating despair.

“The Industrial Revolution [Internet] and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.”

The point of intermittent fasting is that during the fast your metabolism increases and your body enters partial ketosis which is beneficial for healing and general well being.

I mean places that regularly flood or are destroyed by tornados should be more expensive to live in and insure. It makes no sense for whole cities to need to be rebuilt near yearly.
