sounds very interesting, I should read it!

Why not both? I don’t think those two things are dimetrally opposed and before internet and TV people read newspapers and books (or went to bed early because no lights).

its true there were stuff to do, but certainly people are more willing to get to know their neighbours better without these distractions! in the past there was more work to do, so that stopped them, so its sad that now that we have a lot of technology to make things easier, we dont use our new time wisely but instead with distraction-based technologies

In the end people are usually just not very interested in what they see as their everyday boring surroundings.

isnt it a bad sad though? I think our surroundings get more boring exactly because people tend to rather consume more exciting realities, be it TV series or tik tok. While theyre more “exciting” than your surroundings, i dont see how they make your life more meaningful than touching grass

imo, theres a big difference between acknowledging a language evolving by itself, and wanting to keep foreign influence out.

On a small scale foreign influence seems fine but the more that comes the weaker the language gets

oh yes thats what i mean. Coded in rust, loved this feature, went back to python a bit and became sad that I couldnt do the same. Feels stupid that a variable can be different types depending on the situation, and having a dataclass where just one field is relevant seems too dumb

im a unique snowflake who cannot be identified by any labels

This makes sense yeah. Im curious, does the bank rely on people having “too much” money in their bank? like more than the emergency fund? if everybody followed this advice, would the bank be in financial trouble?

That… seems very reductionistic. And also arent most american schools pretty segregated already since people tend to move to racially homogenous places already_

i can see that socialization issue, im far from having kids but i think maybe what i would want to do is like part homeschooling part go to school
