I'm in the same boat as you OP, in that I try to prefer privacy when its convenient and available but ultimately not enough. Do you have any way of confirming that your privacy-based choices are actually legit? I just go off what people seem to agree on, but these might not even be people and instead just bad actors astroturfing some dangerous services and I'd have no way of knowing.
I'd like to go all in on shit like that, but basing an entire digital defence on vibes seems kinda shaky to me
No real weight for the system I think. Theres a lot less people though, so if I see the same guy like 5 times in a row with -8 comments, I'm more inclined to think that person is a prick because thats how humans are built.
Its not going to stop them posting or push them to the bottom by default or anything though.
I recently visited Blackpool Tower, which has a glass bottom bit near the top where you walk on glass and can see a massive, definitely lethal, drop underneath you. I was petrified to get on it, and could only walk on the glass by looking upwards.
Until that moment I thought I was still brave. Im scared of heights but fear never really stopped me from doing much before. Ive avoided certainties out of pragmatic fear, but I'd never known myself to be scared of fear itself until that moment.
Going to the glass and finding myself unable to walk onto it was very surprising. I even told my wife "huh, this is new..."
Pure anecdotally here, but as im getting older death seems more and more significant and possible and to be feared. Im only in my 30s but somewhere along the line i picked up a self-preservation instinct.
As a kid/teen i was going to live forever. I couldn't die. The biggest fear was waking up in hospital but even that was farfetched to one as invincible as me.
Nowadays though im perpetually aware that one slight misstep could bring me down skull first on a roadside kerb and it could be game over.
Yep. Im also terrified of actually dying. I want to die in my sleep so I dont see it coming, but I dont want to miss the experience of death because everyone gets it and you can only really do it once so it really is once in a lifetime experience. Except I wont have any life to remember the experience so it doesnt matter. And since it doesnt matter why do I want it. But what if it hurts?
But what about when you need to plug your hair dryer in and need to remove a lamps plug and it ends up on the floor and then you get a knock at the door and its your friend and you go out and forget all about it until you get home and completely fuck your own feet
Not under appreciated at all, but the XFM shows (the Ricky Gervais show) are fantastic. Only mention because I'm not sure how popular/well-known it is globally.
