And they cost $300 apiece! You have teachers buying just regular school supplies out of their own pocket in public schools.

Then, why didn’t that school Just give them those Nokia phones?

Because this is an advertising puff piece for the light phone. I’m going to guarantee you that someone in that company has connections to that school.

You’re not including the fact that they need some sort of wonky website for you to upload photos and add Podcasts. So it’s not just the phone they’re building but the whole infrastructure behind it.

And if what you said is true, then why give these kids light phones in the first place. I’m almost wondering if someone from the light phone company has some connection with that school.

So Apple takes 30% of your money from one hand and gives you back 3% with the other?

Why can’t someone just make a phone. I don’t need a phone that plays music or can listen to podcast. I just need a phone that can make calls and make texts. I think their problem is they wanted this phone to still be like a smart phone.

I mean, I agree that cell phones can cause interruptions in schools, but doing this at a place like Buxton compared to some of the public schools I’ve taught in, well, that’s a whole different story.

“Buxton School is a private, coeducational, college preparatory, boarding and day school for grades 9–12 located in Williamstown, Massachusetts.“

I mean, it’s one thing to take away a kid, cell phone and offer them nothing and then another thing to take away their cell phone and offer them

“When the weather is nice, the Buxton boarding school moves lunch outside. Students, faculty and guests grab their food from the kitchen, and eat together under a white tent that overlooks western Massachusetts’ Berkshire mountains.”

When I tell people aids can be caused by more than HIV they literally think I’m a kook. Then I have to show them things like this.

Sorry, but they are right. Fear is what limits us and fear is what drives our decision-making. If you have no fear, decisions are much easier and you don’t regret anything. Having no fear means no you’re going to die one day and all your decisions, end up to a lump of nothing.

College, because, in my opinion, we headed for for a worldwide recession/depression triggered by a US depression.

In my opinion, from my own research, there will be many triggers to lupus. there is actually a lupus that caused by medication, called drug induced lupus. And lupus can be caused by more than autoimmunity. It can also caused by under immunity or immuno deficiency.

We know there are many triggers. This is why they call lupus a polygenic Disorder. And it has as many variations of symptoms as it does causes. I mean there’s even drug induced lupus.

In my opinion, on the classification of disorders around symptoms does more harm than good when trying to discover the cause of the disorder.

We need to stop the delay in personalized medicine in order to cure people of these disorders. This is essentially what they did with this patient. They took the time and looked at their genetics, and they found what was wrong.

I don’t know if I would call sociopathy being character development.

Podgajski — Sun, 14 Jan 2024 12:12:29 +0000

I agree everything you said. This is horrific and no person should have to go through seeing all that disgusting material for my benefit of using the Internet. It’s really something that pushes me further and further away from using the Internet. You can put it on par to driving an electric car, knowing that the lithium was mined by nine and 10-year-olds in Africa somewhere.

I’m not a religious man, but I think I’m becoming one. Mostly because I feel the appearance of all this stuff correlates with the decline of religion. I only knew which one to choose that didn’t have as much behind it as the Internet does I would, for surely be a devout follower.

I’m not calling him lucky, he called himself lucky. I literally just showed you the quote where he said he was lucky.

I’m not demeaning his agency everything is written but if he wasn’t lucky, we wouldn’t be able to read anything he wrote about his experience.
