If there's a file of this somewhere for me to archive, I've likely got space.

I've already got Wikipedia, medwiki and a few others in local files as I expect any fascist to destroy information and replace it with whatever suits their narrative

Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.

"We don't send sensitive information through texts."

The ignorance almost physically hurts.. Thinking that only the actual message content is important.

Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.

Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.

At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.

It's as if these people don't understand that, yes, I actually want to help create a better place by being a good person.

My first impulse towards someone isn't a cold calculus of thought about use and transaction.

It's insane how the current mythos inculcates that selfishness into people so much, you will see everyone walking around claiming selfishness as the foundational core trait of humanity... Completely ignoring that it's our bonds of community that are our real strength in nature.

The dying older generation has a point, though they attribute it to the wrong thing. They point to the downfall of the church in society as what made things go worse...

It wasn't the religion directly. It was the community that was, in some ways, making things better.

I just want to live in a world where people are taught these things: critical thinking, creativity, compassion and community. If you want a 5th "c" for physical activity like we probably should, "calisthenics" could be the last.

Same with teeth.

Sure, I can live without them but everything becomes harder and worse and there's an awful period where you could probably die from the infections as many people used to.

But those are luxury bones covered by other, separate insurance, as though it is not related to my health.

They will probably barely care even if it strikes down their own children. They will cry and say it was God's will and overlook that it was preventable

Looks like a giant fell on his face spread eagle and the town was built of its body

"You mean my radical and insane interpretations of the law are insane and radical?".

Yeah, he fucking knows and is a piece of shit like the rest of these disingenuous monsters

It's hard to really describe to younger generations just what it was like.

I'm an elder millennial (1984) and the changes to games within my lifetime has been breath taking and staggering.

The first game I remember playing is River Raid on my brother's Atari. I was a vaguely plane shaped black block.

A couple years later, I find myself playing Super Mario Bros. A few more and it's SMB3 and I'm holding a gameboy in my hands on the road trips to Florida to see my grandparents.

Then the jump to SNES and Genesis. Seeing that depth and life seep into the characters... The music gaining in complexity...

I even had a Sega CD and I remember how mind blowing it was when Sonic turned and ran towards the back to go through a loop instead of just side to side.

Then for it was PS1 with Final Fantasy 7... Graphical cut scenes like moving works of art.

After this point, yes there was still obvious and sometimes bigger jumps... But this is where it all was SO different each generation. Not just seeing extra small details and polishes. Large, discrete jumps forward

I wish I could give my wonder to anyone who never got to experience it. It was an amazing time to live.

I've become the same. I'm now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.

Acts 4:34-36

"For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need."

They mean this Christianity, right???

They haven't overthrown shit.

This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.

If this is his thought process, he should take it a step further.

French is just badly pronounced Latin.
