Ka is a wheel

Inexorably? …Really? It can’t be turned off?

Religious extremists, you say?

Yes, we should all avoid discussion with humans at all costs, and of course already know everything anyway.

Imagine not knowing something and asking a human for more information? Ew

Sounds like it’s time to bring the U.S some Freedom! 😎🪖🕊️

Indeed.

You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

Scanning people’s entire history for political leanings, etc? That’s some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

It’s easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they’re benevolent dictators, so we don’t think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don’t ever really know what they’re really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we’ll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it’s time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3

What?

Your comment’s got some unreadable corrupted text there.

especially if it’s using sim/esim card. Those mobile carriers can literally do whatever the fuck they want to your phone and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Wow that’s wild, how does my SIM card allow my carrier to do whatever they want to my phone?

On the face of it, that sounds like a gigantic breach of privacy. Can they look at my photos, capture my screen, read my stored app data, intercept outbound Internet traffic before it’s encrypted, etc? That’s wild.

Not to mention that I bought my phone separately, so it’s got nothing to do with them. As one might imagine, I only added a SIM in order to receive traditional telephone calls, it’s not otherwise useful to me.

That’s not the case at all. For ads, perhaps, but in application purchases? Many games (especially free to play games, of which there are many excellent ones) have purchases you can make in the game.

Helldivers 2 is an excellent game, and that has DLC packs and individual items you can purchase in game. So does World of Tanks (which is also free to play).

Even some perfectly normal applications have that tag, because there’s a shareware version (maybe with a launch nag “Ad”) and the full paid version (which may only cost a few quid), that you can upgrade to from within the free version. It still counts, even if it’s just a one time thing.

There are many scummy practices some game/application makers employ using ads or in-app purchases, but many don’t, and both types have that sort of label applied.

Honestly, I see that label applied to basically everything these days, so I just ignore it and judge the application based on the nuance of how their monetisation is presented.

this political system

You’ve not mentioned what continent you’re on, let alone what country, it’s hard to know if we share a similar experience or not.

I don’t have any experience with Namibia’s political system, nor Chinas, though I do have a bit more touchstone knowledge of a few European systems here and there.

Anyway to answer your original question, no, I don’t tire of trying to help my fellow humans improve our overall living situation. That’s our duty as good, caring people, right?

I also don’t guess at solutions. I’m not very smart, but I still believe in using the scientific method over guessing.

You seem like an empathetic, mindful, caring person. Those are fantastic traits :-)

Gotta love idiots that cross the road while the rest of us are waiting for the traffic lights to turn red.

No point gambling your life to save an extra 8 seconds. One day they won’t be so lucky. But some people are just stupid.

Just in case others run into the issue maybe someone has a solution, that last one opens a browser webpage for me in Boost, I can’t figure out how to actually get it I to open in the application so I can join it haha.

Got the first two though, thanks! :-D

Arrests, or kidnappings?

For those of us out of the loop, why would 8647 mean “Kick out Trump?”

Nice message though, shame it never happened I suppose :-(

Sadly that’s just the Internet, you can’t turn a corner anywhere in any community but for someone going on about some internal/niche thing happening in that country. They never specify where they are either, just assuming we’re all exactly where they are, in the only country that exists.

I’m still annoyed by it don’t get me wrong, but I don’t expect it to change, sadly. There’s just life, and life is pain and disappointment.

So true fam, good thing we’ve got the best, most free democracy here in England 👏♥️

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

Given that we’re on a global community, how will this erase my right to free speech here in Europe?

Or were you, like so many, just assuming everybody online lives in your country, so why bother mentioning what country you’re talking about in your title or description?

Pentagon… sermon 🤔
