go build a cabin in the woods and pretend to live so much better and fuller than the mindless ants of society but then every weekend walk a mile home so your mom can cook for you and do your laundry bonus points if 7th graders are taught your writings unironically in a few decades

yosposters are terrified that a moment’s solitude might force them to reflect on the inherent monstrousness of their chosen lives so having a personal distraction machine is essential

i made it to 2016 before i got a smartphone and probably would have made it longer if it weren't for the fact that presenting texts as a series of discrete messages rather than as a chat channel is a really painful interface these days i mean the tipping point was people sending pictures and my old dumbphone just giving up and refusing to parse them at all (and then being unable to delete them b/c you had to open them first before deleting, lol) but i'd been getting increasingly annoyed by texting going up to that point and it really has been a lot nicer in that regard since getting a smartphone

i understand that, i made it until 2015 before accepting a hand me down of my wifes old iphone 5, partially to track buses in pittsburgh to get to work also before then i was lamenting to a friend that nobody made a good dumpbhone anymore, my previous network-unlocked samsung dumb phone (cant remember model and dont feel like looking it up) was a fantastic phone, very well designed hardware, great software that performed fantastically then at&t switched their network and i needed to get a new phone, switched to verizon and got a samsung intensity 2, and it was/is garbage in comparison it fukcing lagged when scrolling through things, lovely badly-designed interface, it was absolutely awful i was complaining "how the gently caress is this worse than my previous phone", friend commented that "who do you think designed that, and who designed your previous phone, your old one was designed before smartphones, when the good developers were making dumbphones, now team C or D (not even team B) are designing the dumbphones" e: it was this: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_e900-1508.php that was a delight to use Lysidas fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Sep 22, 2018 |

just get an old smartphone that's slow and apps don't work on it, so you don't get hooked, (and FB's tracking software doesn't work right) but you can still check your email in a pinch and dont have to deal with non-threaded text messages and carry around a pda or w/e

graph posted:im not condoning or endorsing but rereading his thing is an interesting revisit it's interesting because it's the same points you hear from conservatives nowadays: "leftists are ruining the world, political correctness running rampant, feminists are illogical!", I was legit surprised but it's not interesting in the way you're implying, because it's ostensibly just that. Manhunt: Unabomber had a way too generous reading of his manifesto.

Symbolic Butt posted:yes I wasted my time skimming over the unabomber manifesto, I'm here to warn you guys I wouldn't say that it is the usual right-wing propaganda. It is definitely worth a read. I think the parts of his article you are objecting to, in which he psycho-analyzes the archetype of the ivory tower intellectual, probably comes from personal annoyance at his neighbors and coworkers at his first academic job at UC Berkeley.
