I don’t use reddit anymore because <obvious reasons> but sometimes a relevant thread comes up in a web search. But since they force you to log in they lost even the last bit of my traffic.

Make it fun - No mistakes!

Sick flip, dude

If I get interrupted I never get to make a point.

When I talk I like to lay out where I’m coming from. Sometimes I need 2 or 3 sentences to make my point. Most people interrupt me in the middle of sentence 1. I don’t bother saying things like “what I actually wanted to say is …” because then I’m interrupted in the middle of sentence 2.

I hate talking to people. I never interrupt people. I guess people think I have the wildest beliefs and opinions because they never get to hear what I actually want to say.

This one came out upside down. […]

I’m not sure what’s up.

heh

I don’t see anyone here making this about hierarchy or anyone claiming that one group of people is “better” (or “worse”) than the others.

That Gen Z is scoring worse in those tests is a fact. Nobody says that Gen Z is “worse” because of that. If anything this might make previous generations look bad whose decisions lead to the world gen z has to grow up in: The school system, current crises, the pandemic, social media, etc.

To acknowledge those test results is the key to address what caused those results. Then we can discuss:

• What did we (yes all of us) do wrong (or right) that lead to this?
• How to help Gen Z and future generations to unlock their potential
• Or: Question if those tests are still relevant. Are those skills that were tested actually needed in our current time and are there important skills missing that were not tested?

I’m still using my fairphone 5 :)

Curious. Do they easily find you that you use it?

If meta automatically detects that you use beeper and bans you then there is no point using it with WA. But in this case beeper wouldn’t advertise bridging to WA, right?

yea ok. then i’m again at a point where I don’t get censoring at all. We all know that “to unalive” means “kill” and even a kid would get that. We all know when a person on TV says FUCK when they put a little beep over the U but we still hear the F and CK sound.

So if we all keep doing/saying ““bad”” things but now in badly cropped memes or barely censored, then who are we doing this for? For the algorithm which would flag this automatically?

I’m not much on mainstream social media anymore. But what is it with all this censoring bullshit?

Still?

In the EU yes and no. Most mobile internet plans here include unlimited SMS and phone calls as well. At least I know very few people who choose to have plans that include ONLY internet and those plans tend to be only marginally cheaper. However, the unlimited SMS and phonecalls (for most plans) only apply for messaging inside the EU. So if you regularly message friends outside EU you again either pay per SMS/call or have to get a more expansive plan that also includes that.

So overall it’s the most convenient (and mostly cheapest) to do all messaging and calls over mobile data or WiFi
