I get why you would feel like a bad person. You stole and that’s easily considered wrong. Feeling bad about that is natural.

I think you are allowed room for mistakes. And if something is a habit it is good to be kind to yourself. Cleaning up a long held bad habit can take longer than we expect.

My advice is that sometimes we realize we want to live differently, and that’s awesome. You obviously want to give back and be kind to people. You are also very young and impulse control is a bitch. It doesn’t finish developing till late 20s.

You’ll make more mistakes in the future. You’ll realize you’ve hurt people and that’s okay, that’s life. Just keep adjusting and don’t be too hard on yourself.

Yeah at the end of the day I can agree. You need to be in a pretty remote alcove to not get trolled. It can end up as a big waste of time.

Yeah the more I learn history the I feel we are in an imperfect but exceptionally opportune time.

I agree that misinformation gets platformed. And that the information landscape we navigate naturally supports those who own it and have the most powerful megaphones.

I also don’t believe that there is a perfect ideology. We would all have to be identical to make a perfect world. Though I do think that by making thoughtful connections we can process the world differently. And that how we see the world is how we navigate it.

Therefore, to be a healthy memeber of society you cannot protect your beliefs from criticism. To navigate a collective world you have to try and see others’ maps. Otherwise you’ll be baffled by the decisions of others, and you won’t be able to communicate about important topics.

So direct, calm and curious conversations with those who disagree are vital to living in harmony. At least in my opinion. I don’t think we can guess good enough, I’d rather ask directly.

How do you fight fascism without understanding why it’s supporters do what they do?

Not OP, but personally I think diverse discussion is some of the more important work a person can participate in.

There is too much potential energy in our networks when we don’t understand each other, and I support a calm controlled release of that energy. I am scared of how people will leverage that energy at the expense of many.

So I want to exist in a place of diverse thoughts so I can help the world calmy understand itself.

We doin wall sized screens now? No monitor that would fit on my desk needs 8k. I swear you gotta take a microscope to 4k to see the pixels.

Edit: can’t we just do VR instead of building bigger screens? Seems cheaper.

This would change everything.

I’ve never looked that close, but now that I have I’m on your side.

You’ve met different online right wingers than me lol. Maybe you are just on left platforms. I think both sides have the full range. We just see nicer right wingers on a left platforms like lemmy. That’s the only way they’d survive lol.

Do you see right wingers on X responding politely on average? Leftists on X are also very intense.

I think it is more acceptable to be a raging leftist on lemmy. I think X promotes intensity. I think most people that would sit and chat in person would be capable of a calm and productive conversation.

Kinda wild we can be guilted into buying more because some folks won’t help others unless they profit.

If only we could all use less and that be the good thing that it obviously should be.
