This guy has done a lot of great work in trying to understand how conspiracy thinking works, how minds can change, how arriving at a state of “knowing” is an emotional state (and not a rational one), how biases change people thinking, etc.

I only use it on android, but there are RSS apps on every platform.

I think Pluma is the best.

Of you care about it being free and open source, then “Read You” on f-droid.

If you search for RSS on any app store it will give you lots of options and you can look through screenshots to see what you like.

Thanks. Comments don’t really bother me. It would be a hard life trying to use social media without thick skin.

But your quote came at a good time to make the point I was looking to make.

For your question about news, I would highly recommend using an RSS app. Whichever news source you use, its much better when you get your news in time order instead of their stupidly curated website front pages.

I’ve got 30GB + calls/texts for £8/month.

I don’t have an answer to your question, but I love your John Stuart Mill quote. I’ve just had a barrage of comments trying to rip me apart for suggesting that a political opponent’s position should be understood; and no comprehension of the point this quote puts across really well.

a glorious scam heist

You son of a bitch, I’m in.

This is the way

Why only kids? We all need to be protected from social media.

I don’t know how to suggest good national policy, but I think social media should have these:

• controls on how far you can doom scroll
• being able to opt out of algorithms by seeing things in time order and from (optionally) only white listed sources and allowing block lists in a variety of ways, etc, etc
• heavy moderation of blatantly illegal content.
• heavily curated advertising (or none at all, users can pay)
• separation of political content (maybe a system of tagging so topics that are not of interested can be hidden…maybe this could be crowd sourced)
• Strict control of data collection
• The ability to delete/be forgotten

I don’t know how propaganda or corporate interests can be excluded, but that would be ideal.

Controlling children’s access is so insurmountably difficult, I don’t even know where to start.

The guy didn’t take his position with violence. What’s going in America to make the majority of people support this guy?

Sniff more butts. Pee on belongings.

That’s a great song. Their cover of The Trooper is amazing as well. Any other recommendations from their songs?

That city is one of many in civilisation 6.

I’ve made a huge mistake breaking my personal rule to avoid all political content and I’ve regretted that immediately

I’ve used Mailbox.org for years as a service that replaces most of my Google services at once. I know you just asked for email and Mailbox is worth checking out.

There’s a lot of social programming at play and it is particularly difficult for women to push back against the enormous pressure. Men get an easier pass for not looking pristine or in line with expectations.

That being said, my wife has changed her outlook in the past 2 years. She has discovered minimalism and anti-consumerism. I myself am much more of an advocate for function above all else.
