@Diceyocean I don't drink because of my medication. You should probably be doing the same.
@lucy I think social media should be designed to make shadowbanning impossible, or at least detectable (which by definition makes it impossible)
@lucy Yes. By default, if you're blocked by a remote instance, it doesn't notify you.
@lucy I don't think any amount of money would change my mind. I'm in a pretty stable financial situation right now.
@theorytoe @lucy Why would it being someone too high to think straight change your mind?
@interfluidity I don't think I do that at all. At least I hope not.
As a child, I was forced to wear a seatbelt like any other child. By my parents, however, not the cops (IIRC). And as an adult I wear a seatbelt because I value my life and my physical safety.
But if I got stopped by a cop for not wearing one, that would piss me off no end. I certainly wouldn't start agreeing with it just because I was forced to do it.
I don't agree with the nanny state idea of laws that get us to do things "for our own good".
I don't even think "it's for your own good" is a legitimate principle of ethics. Ethics is about what you do to others, not what you do to yourself.

@feld I usually have airplane mode on. (But I didn't just then; thanks for reminding me)
@interfluidity Are you sure you don't conform to the law without being forced to because it happen to in whole or in part correspond to your sense of right and wrong?
Because I do that, even though I readily break it when it doesn't correspond to my sense of right and wrong (and I figure I can get away with it).

@interfluidity If you are saying that not rebelling entails giving legitimacy, then you are indirectly saying that an oppressive state is legitimate when the people it rules over are either benefiting from the state (and potentially therefore from the oppression) or are oppressed and too scared and weak to rebel.
@interfluidity I don't think that means they legitimised the state. Just that they were too scared/weak/oppressed to rebel.
@toiletpaper @condret I assume everyone I know has been vaccinated, but only my aged grandfather and someone with severe cerebral palsy have died.
@mia @georgia @iwillbite @anemone I always do something for the few homeless people I see. Usually food, unless they don't want it.
Once it was money, but I was still worried the story he told was a lie and he was just going to buy drugs with it.

That's exactly what I want for my phone. I don't have a SIM card in order to defend against location tracking, so I can't access the internet all the time. So it would be great to have it just automatically download pages when they become available.

This is a very kraterocratic concept of legitimacy. I don't agree at all.
