What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway?

I wish it was acceptable to call older folks out as lazy if they refuse to learn how to text, email and otherwise use the internet. It’s fine for them to call millennials lazy if they can’t drive a stick shift or balance a checkbook, but if you’re giving me bullshit like “I’m 68 years old, I don’t text and I don’t email” you are just a lazy, stubborn bastard. I’ve met plenty of 90 year olds who are perfectly capable because they aren’t lazy old fucks.

Seems nobody will ever put sanity and social safety over their feelings. People don't really understand the social contact anymore. They think that's for everyone else.

The dangers of conservatism/fascism.

If not for conservatism, humans would be proactively addressing global heating. Conservatives oppress the innocent and vulnerable in every country where conservatives have power. If not for conservatism, there would be no genocide. Conservatives are the gullible, deadly foot-soldiers of the billionaires.

Conservatism is the single biggest threat to life on earth. Eradicating conservatism would be the single most positive change we could make to preserve life on earth.

That the covid pandemic is still going full tilt and still demands a very aggressive worldwide response.

Everybody (over the age of 4--they were born in 2020!) knows it, they just deny it like crazy because they don't have the balls to deal with how unpleasant it is.

Which makes it infinitely more unpleasant because we aren't lifting the weight together. But anybody still denying the pandemic is consciously deciding to do it, and an explanation isn't going to make them un-decide, because it's not a lack of knowledge.

Before calling support, turning your device off and back on again will legitimately resolve 90% of your issues.

If you call the helldesk and the uptime of your device is more than 24 hours and you said you already rebooted it how can we trust anything else you say?

The importance of digital privacy and freedom. The way capitalism ruins everything you like.

Actually two things:

First: Capitalism is bad. It gets so bad it will destroy people the worst way: both mentally and physically. And it will destroy our planet more sooner than later. We need to get rid of „the rich“, switch to a social stable System and actually care about our environment (aka climate) immediately to stop the worst. It is already way too late to stop the catastrophe entirely, but some of us still can survive.

Second: Voting for faschist and racist parties will hurt you badly. They don‘t want what’s best for the common people, they want power.

That if they vote third party before we can get rid of the first-past-the-post system, they are helping their ideological opposite. And a corollary: if they do it because of the genocide in Gaza and Trump encourages a total wipeout of the Palestinian state like he's telegraphing, the blame for the deaths of those innocent civilians is on them for being self-righteous instead of honest.

When you're at a fast food drive thru and they offer to round up for a charity cause, YOU can claim that write-off donation on your taxes, not the restaurant. Of course virtually nobody would do that unless you save your receipts and tally them up next year... but you can!

Washing hands, not eating off the floor, not drinking from the same bottle as 10 other people etc...

Just basic hygiene things

Looks at Republican party

Grammar.

You don't need to stop informing others, I think stopping is bad. Just tune it down a bit, don't overexert yourself with it. Most will not care but it's still important to tell it to them. At some point, they might realize why it's a good idea.

Also, Google isn't immediately killing Ad/Content Blockers like uBO, they're doing it slowly. Which is much smarter. It will mean less resistance. Boiling the frogs (users) slowly has always been the best way of eventually reaching a certain goal, without too much resistance along the way. If you push the goal too fast and too hard, there will be massive resistance, backed by an immediate media backlash. You have to wait that out, spread it out, so that users and media forgets about it again. Also, uBO Lite for MV3 browsers is less effective, but many users won't notice a difference yet. Next steps will probably be to make it less and less effective over time, while claiming it will be better for the users overall, like offer better security from malicious addons that almost no one installs anyway, or whatever.

These answers reek of superiority complex. These are less "educating" others and more that so many of you have decided something specific is a big deal to you and in a proselytizing fashion you preach to others and when they don't give a shit or perhaps just dont have the emotional capacity to ALSO care about the thing you brought up, you take that as ignorance, when really it's just some people don't feel like caring that much about that specific concern you decided is uber important.

People aren't built to endless worry about every little horrible problem surrounding them and the world every fucking day.

Also, this whole forum feels like overreaction too. Just because "some" people didn't care for your input doesn't mean all didn't, but a lot of people overreact online. It's coupled with the usual "am I the only one who..." kind of crap. No. You aren't. You aren't the only genius who understands the world is shit and we're fucked.

Reading more than a headline.

That there are AI art generators that use licensed art and/or public domain and open licence images. People so deep in the "AI art is theft" shtick they don't even wanna hear it.

That AI safety is much more important than AI hurting copyright or artists.

I say this because the "AI sucks haha" and "AI just steals" retoric is very harmful to AI safety movement as people just don't believe AGI or even close-to-AGI will be capable enough to harm our society.

Currently many estimate that there's 1-20% chance that AGI could end our civilization. So fuck the copyright and fuck the artists when we're looking at ods like this we need to start preparing now even if it's 10 years away.

But alas, nobody can't think further out than the length of their nose and honestly I'm just hoping we're lucky enough to be in that 80% because clearly we're not going to do anything about it.

I'll likely always point it out, but I'm surprised at how few people are willing to understand how to consider a conflict resolved.

Imagine for a moment, you're sitting in a courtroom. You appear before the judge. You sit down. An officer whispers maybe three highly accusatory sentences in the judge's ear about things that have long been dealt with. Without you saying a word, and without a few minutes having gone by, the judge sentences you to practice forced disappearance or face annihilation in some form. So many times I've faced people who you'd think believe this to be how the journey from point A to point Z is expected to play out in addressing issues, in all spheres of life, complete with a direct rejection of nuance/elaboration, and it has made me wonder if humanity really is inherently evil, for a lack of a better word.

I'm tired of helping and educating people about how using "bipolar" to describe things like the weather or a job is problematic

I didn't think folks actually care about ads as much as you think. This place is a bubble in that regard.

For me that America isn't a hellscape for most. Yes there is disparity and it's growing, we should correct that. But gen z is still buying homes (more than millennials), most people have decent albeit over priced health care, and live better than large portions of the world.

nothing. absolutely nothing. if ppl would wanna know they'd ask. let them use facebook, iphone, crude oil and whatever floats their boat. all tipping points have been reached. no need to stress anyone anymore.
