fizzle

Sorry im struggling to understand whatever points youre trying to make.

In my opinion categorizing someone as categorically bad is reductive, lazy thinking.

I’m not saying you need to like pedophile rapists and murderous colonizers.

Merely that going through life categorizing the every day people you meet as good or bad is reductive, lazy thinking and frankly - the basis of undesirable cognitive habits like racism and prejudice.

The people you interact with each day are complex individuals with just as much going on internally as you do. None of them think of themselves as “bad”.

Medication.

Languagetool ?

The fundamental attribution error explains why we perceive people to be good or bad.

I know you said to just downvote, but I really strongly believe the world would be a much better place if people tried to understand the motivations of others, rather than trying to categorise them as good or bad people.

I think im “addicted” to all of these things.

Although im not a complainer.

Also try not to be an removed but im sure someone thinks i am.

Yeah this is pretty much my first relationship.

Holy removed what a mess.

Two years ago, when I was 16, my dad tried to set me up with one of his business partners.

Is no one gonna talk about this?

Fire extinguisher.

Get a small one and put it in your boot or the back of your ute (seppo: truck).

If you’re ever first to a car accident, or have one yourself, you’ll be very glad you have it.

There are loads of justifications really.

I personally have been school everything-should-be-electronic for the last 20 years or so.

However, more recently I’ve started to swing back to hard copy. Not necessarily for my own personal use but I’m just more tolerant.

2 of my colleagues prefer to print some documents they’re working on rather than looking at everything on monitors. If it’s a long list of things you can tick things off, or use some physical object to mark your position. It’s all so effectively free screen real estate. I don’t really do this but I can see why others do.

I also had a fancy e-ink remarkable tablet which I used daily for a year or so but I’ve returned to just having a nice physical notebook. I much prefer it.

Another example is maps. A physical, thoughtfully designed map is a work of art. A pleasure to hold and use. It really inspires a deeper connection to a location or landscape than an app. You can write things on it. Show things to people. Give it to someone.

In the case of a spiral bound project brief, maybe some people involved just do everything with spiral bound booklets. Maybe they like to keep everything related to a project in a physical file. I wouldn’t get too worked up about someone else’s workflow really. It’s fine if it’s not how you would do things, but if they’re not hurting anyone, who cares.

This is a deeply unpopular take, but here goes.

There’s loads of comments here saying “parents gotta parent”, which of course is absolutely true.

The problem is, it’s difficult to maintain a “no social” policy with your kid if every other kid in their peer group is engaging together on social media.

If there are government mandated age verification checks on social media, then even if they’re trivial to bypass, at least it allows parents to stand together with other parents.

My position is, age verification isn’t perfect, but it’s better than nothing. I guess we’ll see what teachers say about the current measures in the coming months.
