Yeah, totally. It's much easier to have everything on a kindle than it is to have stacks of books all over the place, but the trade-off's that you relinquish any control you once had over your personal library. The texts can be changed, removed and so on at any time and without any say on your part.To be fair, though, it does make things very efficient and easy, for those who can use the internet or afford to.

The feeling of being dragged into this stuff is really unpleasant. I don't particularly want someone's Alexa listening to me or to be photographed and put on people's social media, but it's so normal now that it's awkward to object.Fuck Kindle, I like books. I've also been dragged into doing internet banking which I really did not want to do because my local bank branch has closed, and I object to this sort of thing (post offices, too).
On the other hand, airbnb and online booking makes travelling cheaper and easier which enhances life experiences.
Well you can also just get PDFs and keep them on an external drive of some sortYeah, totally.

i think showgirls would have been better choice of visual on this ocasiion. those are the two poles. showgirls and pinhead.
actually have to admit, that was me. sorry Stan.Recently I’ve been getting phishing emails, on my main personal email, from personae claiming to have watched how much I masturbate, that I masturbate with disturbing frequency and that I should be ashamed of myself, etc.
You could've sold it better, I'm disappointed.actually have to admit, that was me. sorry Stan.
This is how progressives have always been, it's almost definitional to progressivism as an ideology. You look back you see a long history of forced reform, eugenics. Vaccine mandates are the most recent instance. And I agree, get your vaccine! But you're talking about a mommy or daddy state here.I think what makes the current situation so insidious is that it's cloaked in the language of care and efficiency. It's presented as being all about "optimising" things, making people safe. I don't get the impression a lot of the people doing it are particularly evil or anything like that either, it's just this sort of banal, "we know what's best for you" attitude and a desire for order.
