already exists, amazingly

but then alphabetize it for readability

OOOSSS

ok excellent point i will now start calling for reform in academia. :) not sure if banning Nobel prizes is the most effective way but it’s an idea

also you made some really hateful comments earlier and i forgot to block you oopsie, take care ❤️

literally no lol. the advertising (more accurately, the profit-seeking) model is certainly the driving factor, supported by engagement-maximizing algorithms. and remember it’s not just social media i’m criticizing. it’s a much larger media structure including also the show this post is about, and the discussion is much older than instagram, reaching back decades. here, for example, is a study of media exposure and body dissatisfaction from 2003: 7 years before instagram.

nope, not at all. having someone to look up to is not the same as a barage of media and advertising soaked with the intent of amplifying and capitalizing off of body dissatisfaction and self hatred.

as soon as there is evidence that nobel prizes cause mental health problems i will be saying this lol

rewarding beauty is fine. rewarding beauty in such a way that it has an impact—not only measurable, but significant—against the mental health of the public is not fine.

i love human beings we are so adorable

children generally are able to have multiple parents.

if i give credit to Alice for being Bobby’s mother, i’m not minimizing the parenthood of any of Bobby’s other parents. just giving credit where due.

i would not hesitate to give a couple dozen people the title of father/mother/parent of the iPhone. seems quite appropriate and fair.

this is crazy cool info, do you have further reading?

that’s what the word “inventor” is for

i’m pretty comfortable with calling him that. capacitive touchscreens are a big deal sounds like he deserves the praise.

not every argument needs to be borne out of a counterargument. this is a mean comment in response to a genuine and meaningful analysis of human potential.

fair, rescinded.

you did put a false quote in your top comment tho. thats my main issue: “invented bluetooth/wifi” was nowhere in the original post. that’s a straw position you constructed yourself then took down easily because obviously it’s not true.

the ancient greeks developed more of wifi than u is for sure <3
