Sure, but this is an international thing, Flock is US only. And it’s completely expected to see comments about something US specific written like it’s a global thing (or that nothing outside the US exists) because that’s fucking always the case.
The 'Murica brain, like yours, just can’t comprehend that the vast majority of the world isn’t the US.

So many issues with the world boils down to that last part, people refusing to change and learn. I never understood it, I’ve always loved change and learning. I’ve seen so many people go from having that same openness to only caring about keeping everything the same and never learning, it’s really disturbing. Some are like that from a very early age, others fall into it at any other part of their lives and it’s never a good thing IMO.

This is pretty cool IMO. A study made from this where a large group of people had a pen like this and then you compare the patterns.
They’ll definitely be different based on so many things like what kind of work you do, hobbies, obesity, “phone neck”, how much of a social life you have, what kind of devices you use most.
Now I realise that there are too many variables, still would be cool to see differences in patterns from different individuals.

As much as I want to believe it’s AI or edited, I really don’t see what the commenter is talking about. The text is in no way less clear or “gibberish” than the rest of the photo at that zoom level. It also fits the actual text very well.
We shouldn’t and don’t need to go down to conservative right-wing nut-job conspiracy levels. All that does is give them more credibility and fuel to use.

I’m not saying I fully believe he’s alive but nothing pointed our by that commenter makes any sense.

Several of my friends here in Sweden has gotten one this year, they’re more common in smaller shops too and I see them much more often just looking at apartment buildings I go past. They’re definitely already being sold a lot.

I think we’re at a point where CEOs actually do believe thse things, because the whole thing has been going on for long enough where people who are dumb enough to actually believe what the shareholders want have gotten to the top. They’ve gotten there via taking in what the shareholders want and actually believing it, it’s clear they’re dumb enough for that.

rationale* or, better word choice, reasoning*

“Everyone has to learn this lesson the hard way”

No, only if you’re an idiot. A lot of people realise that isn’t true well before they’re old enough to work.
And it’s especially common to not realise this until well into adulthood in the US because of the level of capitalistic brain washing that happens there.
I’ve specifically discussed this with friends, both from my country (Sweden) and other countries (including outside europe) and this fucked mindset just isn’t there for any of us.

I thought they allowed app installs outside of the app store now? I haven’t had an iOS device for about 10 years but the few things I hear it feels like iOS is moving more towards openness while Android is quickly moving towards a closed environment and what iOS used to be in that meaning. I also think Google has been real bad with tracking and shit than Apple has ever been. Obviously both Google (or Alphabet or whatever) and Apple are absolutely not good in any way about any of this, just saying to make it clear I’m not siding with either.

That’s great, gonna have to print it out on stickers and place them around town.

This has to be a bad troll comment. It’s like saying “This is pizza, you can’t talk about anything other than Italy when eating it”.

How are you this dumb?

This is the song of the world, a ton of angry voices but then the vast majority of them still buy (in both meanings) the thing. People want to be mad but never inconvenienced. They’ll spend so many hours being angry both internally and externally but then still use their vote, be it a political or wallet one, for that specific thing they’re angry about. “I’m mad this costs so much, that it’s so bad, that it doesn’t align with my views but there’s no way in hell I’ll miss out on it”.

Fucking cowards.

And sadly, as we’re constantly reminded of, people that have money to spend aren’t intelligent in general. It’s narcissim, sociopathy and hoarding mentality that is behind most people who have money, and those same things is what would make someone want to use tech like this.

What having an incurable competitionist mentality does to a MF. I can’t stop myself from needing to 100% any game I play, and so many have at least a few things that are just too grindy or boring to complete so it ends like this instead.

While I agree for the most part, pricing is absolutely an issue too (an ever increasing one). I and so many others in a similar situation have a lot of time but not a lot of money, it doesn’t matter if a game has 2000+ hours of playtime, we just can’t afford $70+ as a once time purchase.

The brainwashing machine works, sadly.

Uber-heathest here, you are all unimportant in comparison.

why edit in the word commercial but not change “the” to “a”?

And 'Muricans think the only space that exists or is important is the US (which is dumb as fuck).
