Hopefully you aren't driving any buses while you're this high.

It's not never ending red flags. In fact, I see lots of green flags from signal. Telegram, though, that's a different story.

Why use two different apps? I only use Signal, and have gotten so many friends, coworkers, and family to use Signal.

The encryption method they use was made up by them, and the chats aren't even end to end encrypted by default. Which I would argue is a larger red flag.

I wouldn't say USA has all the encryption keys, but the fact that it is actually possible to have a backdoor is reason enough for me to not use it. Signal complies with all search warrants, giving all the data they have to law enforcement. They have never given any data to law enforcement, because they do not have access to it. Telegrams approach is to simply to spread the data to several servers in different countries, so if law enforcement wanted access they'd have to submit requests to each country (some of which wouldn't comply).

If you have a safe, but cannot open it, do you own the contents inside? Signal has no way of accessing your data, I would argue they don't own it.

I assume the time span was because of a certain penis potato. Sorry, I mean dictator.

Retarded was, and still is, used as an insult for those who are severally developmentally disabled. Those who are literally unable to defend themselves. The people most impacted by this have no ability to take the power back for themselves. You suggest they knew what it meant, but quite frankly I doubt, also having been involved with those with down syndrome. They might have had an idea, but it's unlikely they all understood all the depths and nuances. And regardless of just down syndrome, there are those with more severe cognitive dysfunction, potentially nonverbal, that literally have no way have reclaiming the word. I don't think it will become increasingly acceptable, I think it will become increasingly unacceptable.

The other terms you used, while they used to be medical terms, weren't use in the same connotation to target developmentally disabled individuals. That's the difference.

Quantum computing will never come around for everyone. It's entirely different technology, and what we have works quite well for what we need. A good analogy from this Cleo Abrams video is it would be like saying we no longer need cars because we invented boats

Plus AI is actually happy to answer your random questions, with an immediate response. Stack overflow will quickly become obsolete as AI gets better

I doubt it. Imagine Trump being on good terms with someone after 4 years.

There is a lot of land, and a lot of people in the US. Even if we saw people rioting, there would be hundreds of much smaller riots fighting for local rights.

A social media platform to keep up with friends/family, while arguable not great (for comparison reasons), it not at all the same as what Facebook is right now. Facebook is no longer what it was originally created to be, it is just a dopamine slow drip.
