the funny definition of today:

The term idiot is a word on Roman Latin used to describe those who set aside themselves from the politics and democracy...

You think if you don't know you history you are deemed to repeat it.

I guess they say ignorance is bliss, right? If I'm an idiot by the old Roman meaning of the word, so be it. I think regardless of our knowledge of history though, people by their nature are doomed to repeat their mistakes. You need look no further than the world around you to understand that. I assume it comes from our animalistic side more than anything. When once it sets in, rationality flies out the window.

I try my best in avoiding it but sometimes i care it and i would say that this is my weakness. In my counry where i live the media is controlled and on purpose they make short textes like "Men gets stabbed with a knife" without any detail or background. The Purpose of that is, that people will click on it instantly and bringing up very much controversity. especially from news by "Bild Zeitung" that is very common and hatespeech gets much bigger and bigger in youtube by germany. I try my best by avoiding it but youtube algorithm nearly force you to that. You click every thing away press on dont recomment that channel but its a curse and comes again and again

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:

  • cearp @ cearp:

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
