  • Good questions and I can’t say I have the answers.

    Personally, I think it would be ideal if we could all increase our personal time. Think of all the extra hours we could use to pursue our hobbit or the time we could spend with loved ones.

    The transition will be strange, as some jobs will be much easier to make obsolete than others and it is worth asking how we will compensate those who remain critical for the running of society. I can’t say I wouldn’t feel a little bitter if I had to remain at work 9-5 if other people were effectively retired.

    They said the same thing when the spinning Jenny was invented, but who wants to go back to work in a cotton mill now?

    Yes, there was hardship when these employees had to find new work, but historically, these types of innovation have always been a long term gain, regardless of the short term pain.






  • I was rather annoyed about losing the headphone jack but now I don’t have one I honestly don’t miss it.

    You can get a decent midrange set of wireless headphones for £30ish, the sound quality is indistinguishable from wired and I no longer have wires tying themselves in to bird’s nests or getting caught in things. I have an over ear pair and the battery lasts for ages.

    Inb4, if you’re a audio engineer you can probably tell the difference but to an average listener the experience is the same, a lot of people like to kid themselves that the difference in sound quality is really noticeable

    You endorsed violence, that is against terms of service, there is no clause for “it’s ok to endorse violence against people we don’t like”. If you think that a blanket ban against endorsements of violence makes them nazi sympathisers, then you have some growing up to do.

    You only have yourself to blame and you should be careful that you don’t find yourself banned elsewhere.
