This is my weakness because i'm afraid to sound awkward or make mistakes which happens a lot

I stopped caring and if people don't like me they can deal with it

How to properly zipper merge on a highway.

Digital privacy matters as much as physical privacy & we need to keep the governments & corporations out since they can constantly surveil. Method for doing so need to legal, cheap, & accessible. If decentralization is a requirement, you system that requires Amazon S3 buckets & a beefy VPS are not sufficient when these sorts of things rarely have a technical reason why they couldn’t be democraticized to run from an apartment (why some ISPs don’t let you have an IP (v6 or not) or symetric connections as bits are bits is a different matter).

you want [...] what would it

The first thing that pops into my head is an idea about writing. You're mixing your tenses.

mood, not tense, no ?

Sense of the, so called, common variety, ironic wording considering how uncommon it is. But I imagine that educating people would help this, both in school and in the community. One seemingly obvious thing would be how people litter in green spaces, was that wrapper going to kill you when you get home?

Class struggle

My gut answer was math.

Yeah it’s not as important as decency. But fucking hell people, it’s not that scary and it teaches you to think in ways a lot of people could use to think

How to not be evil. You'd think it's simple, but evidently not.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Because it's subjective?

EDIT: example - abortion is evil for conservatives, but it is practically good for others

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

"Evil" does not mean "something I don't like." Conservatives are evil by their own standards too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Class consciousness.

So then we stop fighting each other for peanuts and look at who gets to benefit from our generalised political apathy.

That they need to understand others in order for people to understand them. That the "tragic prince" is just a fallacy and I would really really want other people around me to appreciate art-forms more. Most of the time they find a movie good and just list the content as the reason for it's goodness, not paying attention to any of the craft and it baffles me that more people are not attached to or interested in how art-forms do the things they do.

Basic fucking decency would be a start
