the problem is that any metric to exclude voters will be manipulated by politicians to exclude demographics. unless you can come up with a simpler concept than “every citizen over 18 can vote” people will move the goal posts: eg, if you require education, do private schools count? what happens if your school loses accreditation after you graduate? what if you’re home schooled? what if your parents didn’t let you goto school?

yeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol… jkjk

but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.

also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the ai model positively, idk.

i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.

how do you know it’s not bots?

reddit is fine. i thought Tencent owned more of it but just googled it and it’s a pretty small percentage (11%). but i am worried that reddit will get worse soon and i want there to be an alternative. so I’m still using both.

Amazon’s delivery time is insane. I use other services like eBay for the most part, but when I need something fast idk who else to use besides Amazon.

destroying books seems like a pretty tame problem to me when other companies are doing things like starting wars, getting people addicted to drugs, or destroying our democracy.
