not as an alternative to Whatsapp, I mean not bothering with an alternative to texting. there is no need for something like Whatsapp because everything it does is already part of just texting normally. Whatsapp is a texting alternative, and as such is pointless.

I’d recommend just regular texting, but if for whatever reason you can’t/don’t want to the. matrix should work, it’s basically foss discord.

I’d say anything longer than five minutes, with anything less getting at most a “I’ll be right back” with a gesture in the direction you’re going.

I had forgotten about that… maybe instead of banning it outright it should be restricted to plastics that are certified heating-safe. in hindsight that should’ve been my take from the start as it aligns much better with my political views (in this case, it matters that I believe most things should only be restricted and not banned outright, an easy example being substances like weed and alcohol).

first the bag thing is not even remotely a us only thing, and second heating food in plastic is sanitary (bc that refers to cleanliness). idk what term would be best for heating food in plastic, but I do agree it should be banned.

side effects of Boomer economic policies and their ignorance regarding the changes they caused

I think it’s more that as qol improved so too did the ability of common people to record their frustrations

that’s why I said you’d be ok

chicken dance it whatever the hell it’s called

probably not going to attack you, but if it does you should be ok because you are bigger and stronger

again, I don’t disagree with op. I’m only saying that we need to mind the consequences of this kind of thing. also, modifying a quote is dishonest. I did not place [UN] in front of justified, because part of my point was that the assassination of that CEO was justified. so in summary, you need to improve your reading comprehension.

get some reading comprehension buddy, I don’t disagree with OP. I’m just urging people to remember the potential consequences of something like this becoming too common.

in other words, we are in the phase where we can still save it

not a terrible point really, but it’s also important to remember how quickly “kill bad guy to save many good guy” can turn into some government just labeling anyone who disagrees with them a bad guy and killing them, or can turn into anarchy. either way preventing murder from taking place, however justified, is an important part of what keeps society from collapsing.

probably people just take about that long to decide what to say and type it out

I talking about my Ideal way of doing it, so presumably other stuff is also idealized in that scenario. the point of blocking everything but the door is not to keep people out, its to make them enter legally so we have the necessary stuff set up for them to be a citizen as fast as possible.

I like the idea but it doesn’t seem incredibly usable rn

I think we should have a border that is as uncrossable as possible everywhere except the door, and at the door they just check your paperwork or help you get it if you don’t have it.

“alright can I get your papers? oh you don’t have them? alright go talk to ted he’ll get you sorted, as long as your not a criminal you’ll be an American within the day.”

as a little aside, my preference would also be to offer basically a “starter kit” for refugees and the like where you get a free apartment for like a year, assistance with stuff like food and medical costs, and your choice of a government job (DMV and such) or assistance in aquiring some other job. maybe even offer a few different locations you could choose to be moved to to start out.
