I wonder if it feels like violence to them, to risk losing access to their private jet.

What an unimaginable point of view. I can only try to understand it in terms of my own privilege, like if someone said I couldn't use the internet or loan books anymore...

Is it possible to fix these people? Like, can they be shown that life is actually better if they give up a little?

Thank you, this is perfect! I love how they highlight the small web, too. Exactly the right vibe for a small, personal project.

This is really cool. Thanks for the brief intro too. I definitely will be trying this out when I start pushing events from the backend. It'll be fun to check out something other than React for once.

I'm not trying to be glib, but read this. You don't fix big, systemic problems by working only within the system.

Rofl that's too funny. But I'm not that hard up for gamified validation. :p

Honestly the worst broccoli I've ever had

We also didn't rely on the internet as much as a resource. Like of course you would do some of your research online, but if you were really working on something serious, you went to the library!

Yeah the internet now is so much nicer. And I don't just mean the corporate spaces with the edges sanded off, but the indie web, fediverse, and random forums. There used to be this incredibly toxic masculinity that crept into everything.

A lot of us have also grown up. I know because I'm still in a forum with people I've known online from 20+ years ago, where we used to post the most heinous, edgy shit.

The grocery stores have even added little maple leafs next to the prices for Canadian goods, which makes it a lot easier.

I'm curious to see the numbers on this after a while.
