I believe it is Haidt himself who said bringing phones is analogous to a kid in the 90s bringing in a portable TV and putting on a show during class, and no one thinking that it is out of place. Of course it is! As a society we've made

It's better to have a terrible 5-6 years dealing with diapers and strollers in your 30s than spend 30 years in your 50s to 80s alone.

I literally only hear that Google search is bad from HN. No one else in my daily life - my family, friends, people out at my gym or grocery store - ever complain that Google search is bad. In fact, Google is still the default for looking up

You blame journalists of all people? How about him, does he have agency? How about the GOP (I suppose not, putting up con artists seems par for the course)? How about the NY Democratic party for doing zero opposition research? Not to mentio

Why is that gross? It's their speech to decide what they want to promote or not promote. Why are you anti-free speech?

Where does it say he suppressed information? Elon only says he had a “possible role in suppression”. They do say he vetted the information before it was public. For Twitter's sake I hope a lawyer did vet it!

Where’s the consideration for CFs speech? If management doesn’t want to help serve filth, they shouldn’t be compelled to. They’re a private company. It doesn’t even have to be consistent.

You don't even need to toggle any buttons. All those things can be tied to your key, or your phone if you use bluetooth as your key. Climate and A/C is also a preset, just set it to 70 on Auto and never think about it again.

Seconded. I live in NJ, too, so any trip to a gas station usually involves waiting quite a bit for a human attendant to pump my gas. At least I don't need an attendant to charge my EV! I don't need to swipe a credit card, I don&#x

Twitter does not have a free speech problem. Twitter is not the US government, it's a private organization, and has no obligation to allow any speech it does not want on its platform. If it serves the political agenda of some people, t
