Uhh… I am sorry. What you said means nothing to me.

We all live in this world, yes. Society is unavoidable. However, you can choose to what extent you engage with it. There is a minimum, stop using tech ~ go out into the world and meet people, create physical things etc. – nobody will stop you when you act with integrity and love.

If this bothers you, stop using the products.

Similar, not exactly the same. Which works better differs per individual.

Methylphenidate has similar effects through different function.

Whatever you want. All of religion is made up, structure provided for those in need.

Congratulations!

This simply means that your local culture is flawed. Where I am, everyone looks and smells beautiful.

Are you painting the whole picture here?

First thing that comes to my mind is: You have met the person, thus connected, then worked together remotely.

That is a physical presence. How much physical presence is required for a good working relationship differs from individual to ~; having personally experienced a coworker is invaluable in my opinion.

The second paragraph does not resonate with me, I am from across the pond. To each their own!

Oof. That is a big ask because I am not an expert on the topic; just learned and wise. If you are willing to burn quite a bit of energy, I could use a LLM to explain the topic.

Off the top of my head, in my currently tired, flu-ish state: Research has shown that our bodies integrate information (DNA) from viruses/bacteria. In a very basic sense, viruses are able to change our DNA. Surviving an infection is a form of upgrade/mutation. You are still you, with the information held in the virus now part of yourself.

Evolution.

Okay. Let us go!

See? You ask. Yes. I do. What “see” do you refer to, though?

I can write you a story already, will not because you are not being specific.

Explain the problem and I will respond to the best of my ability.

Ah, pardon your offense – 'twas a joke, signified through the use of “^^”.

Bottom line: I think it is ridiculously hilarious that such a small non-offense is being fined over there, by … ‘you people’. :p

Can we not all agree to say this entire debacle is … stupid? xD

Lighthearted; no offense meant nor intended. Enjoy your day!

Do not trust companies to parent your children. Do it yourself…

Learn a trade? Do you like working with wood, metal, electronics? Gardening? Construction?

The best advice I can add to what has been given already is to just try out a few things and feel if something resonates. You can ask companies to go along for a day to see how the work is done to learn, help them for a day without pay to learn, for instance.

Does take some initiative and social skills, can lead to a nice career.

All about balance. Working from home is such an improvement from past times. Face to face contact with your peers should not be underestimated though - very valuable.

This does not surprise me, glad the professionals are honing in on it!

It has become a strange obsession for some, indeed.

Reading this it feels like you people still live in the middle ages, dumping the contents of shitpans out the window. ^^

Welcome to the internet, where everything is made up and the points do not matter.

Privacy is pretty much an illusion at this point.

His next incarnation will be a bird, well deserved.

Quell surprise.
