and then all it is rather simply to just alter the gps and you'll never know
You know what happens when I lose internet access?
I stop sitting on my ass and reading, and instead sit on my ass and watch TV.
the tv is the internet
If the TV goes out, I'll go for a walk.
nigel farage show just started... just be some interesting calls
Unless it's hot. Then I'll sit in the living room and daydream.
daydreaming and paperbooks are healthy until kids graduate to more indepth material which requires the internet
otherwise, values are dead
Internet access has always changed the way I live my life, @ManAnimal, and it's completely reversible. When I have access to the internet, I spend less time watching TV and more time reading. I interact with people more. I spend less time playing games and more time tinkering under the hood. I learn more.
giving kids access to everything without having them have to 'earn it' first simply makes them think they understand the world at the cost of what really matters
When internet access goes away, I revert back to how I was without internet.
Then I get internet and I'm back to reading again.
it isn't completely reversible
there is a cost
you just can't see it because your parents paid that cost too; maybe not you in particular but MOST millenials
I've been two weeks without a computer, just this year alone.
I played with animals and watched Jerry fucking Springer, because that's what everyone else was watching. Once my computer was up, I was churning through news articles and picking up new information.
there is a disctinct difference between those that grew up constantly connected vs those that didnot
those that were constantly connected were always EXTREMELY easy to fool
and were only as good as the material of others that they digested
with a very shallow understanding of that material
lol
Indoctrination and cultish bullshit doesn't rely on internet access. In fact, it's often easier without internet access because you can go unchecked for far longer.
No it doesn’t
you have been indoctrinated too
It’s not easier
All the big banks and multinational corporations: we must remain in the EU
remainers: these brexiteers are just greedy bankers
...?
like the indoctrinated EVER is aware of their indocrination
False info is rampant all the time
America has always had a problem with nasty cults and political brainwashing.
The internet just leaves a crack in the window, where a lucky few might find their way out.
it is not easier ONLY with a certain type
you might not be that type but at least HALF your peers are
Look at mr obvious. He did a vid talking about how Hong Kong is winning and that this is the end for China. No it’s not
that is the point, the rules are for the majority in the middle
they are to keep the fringes in check
but if the middle dismisses those rules, so do those on the fringe
I agree it makes it easier to check facts but not many do
no, it makes it easy to cast DOUBT on any fact
proof via evidence takes time and energy
ABC, CBS, and NBC all had to settle lawsuits with car manufacturers.
They were apparently sticking rockets/explosives in the cars before a crash test, and then saying the cars were dangerous. You won't find this out if your only access to information is what people tell you, or what you see on the TV.

Imagine having daughters taller than you as the father lmao
and 90% of the time you need to first CONVINCE someone to take the time to EXAMINE that evidence
