You are the only one who decides what gives your life meaning, and you decide what counts as "waste". If your meaning is keeping up with people who have achieved big goals without working hard to achieve big goals of your own, you'll probably end up envious and miserable. A lot of people like doing that so you've got plenty of company to wallow in your misery with if that's what you want to do.
Vanlige dagligvarebutikker får selge øl, sider og annet opptil 4.75%. Men bare frem til kl 20 på ukedager, 18 på lørdager, og ikke på søndager for da må vi prise Herren. På søndager får vi bare kjøpe lettøl (opptil 2.75%) i dagligvarebutikker som er under 100m^2.
Hell yeah you can blame the people. They chose to use those platforms, and they choose to stay with them as they grow ever shittier. They're the ones enabling platforms like reddit.
I think most people strongly dislike free speech, but they want the right to express themselves, and the government allowing dissent is a necessary evil so they keep their own free speech. That's why they jump at any opportunity to limit everyone else's speech. People loved to say reddit was a private platform that can do what they want, so long as they kept the censorship to their political enemies.

Same appeal as other forms of extremism. You get a set of enemies to blame for everything wrong with the world. You can hate them and feel justified for it. You get simple solutions to complicated problems. You're in the know, while ordinary people are being manipulated by some evil elite.

That's just the start my dude. Once we disregard insignificant values like human rights and personal freedom, solving the issue of other people making problematic choices becomes trivial.
Imagine all the crime we would prevent if we just locked up anyone who earns less than say 50k euros.
EDIT: GO DM MODS OF YOUR FAVORITE SUBREDDITS AND POLITELY ASK ABOUT MIGRATION!: something as simple as "Hey, I love this community but I no longer use reddit, will you guys be making a community on Kbin or other alternatives? Let me know please, thanks." will work!! We need more voices encouraging migration!...
If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
Yeah there are numerous reasons why the conspiracy theory doesn't hold.
But that's besides the point. Let's say they thought the vaccine secretly contained benzos in order to make the population more docile or whatever. That doesn't mean they need to object to any use of the drug in order to be consistent. The problem would be that the government is secretly injecting the population for nefarious reasons, which would be a valid concern if there were any truth to it.
I don't believe in the vaccine-chip nonsense, but I think there's consistency there: it's about informed consent. There's a huge difference between being told by the government to take a vaccine that secretly has a chip in it, and Elon Musk offering chips for sale. If you choose to buy Musk's chip, you're doing so voluntarily and you know that you are getting a chip.
Plus, how many of the tinfoil hats are cheering on Neuralink?
Seventy-seven percent of middle-age Americans (35-54 years old) say they want to return to a time before society was “plugged in,” meaning a time before there was widespread internet and cell phone usage.

But that's okay today? At least in my social circles it is. Just talk about it to whichever friend you have that demands you answer immediately. They are being unreasonable.
I may be overthinking it, but I feel like bringing up those kinds of details unprompted is more awkward. Like you're hiding that you did see something.
Just say you can see into their bathroom and thought they should know. If they ask what you saw, or if they look absolutely mortified you can assure them you didn't see anything like that.
They were not forced, they were pressured. The mods caved to the threat of being replaced, showing everyone that having that little bit of power was always their main priority. I didn't expect more from dog-walkers.
I'm just trying to understand. Erdogan in Turkey, Putin in Russia, Orban in Hungary etc... Why do these leaders still get so much support after all they've done?...
Problem is that people disagree on who's the candy store owner. "Let's make housing a human right" may look like candy if you don't fully believe in their actual plans to make housing available at reasonable prices.

I think for many it's a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". USA bad therefore China good.
You also see it when tankies disguss the current Russian war. There's not so much justifying the actual invasion as there is whataboutism about the West.
Why do Gezendong-style-tankies support Putin and Xi-Xinpin so much ?
Why would communist support capitalists like Putin and Xi-Jinping which aren’t better than Liberal-capitalists ?...
