There are definitely plenty of people on Telegram running channels advertising stolen CCs, exploits, and phishing kits.
I think it's fair to call it the "dark web" because it fits the technical definition.

I agree with you. I haven't read that, but I came to the same "conclusion" while playing Splatoon 3 one night.
The more I look at the world through the lens of a struggle between the reconciliation of a "self" and an "other" the more things make "sense" to me.
It starts to feel like all media is trying to convey the same idea, but there's never a way to be 100% certain that the message is being received as intended. The best we can do is express ourselves as honestly as possible, and do our best to love each other.
I think "struggling with the idea of an 'other'" is more accurate to how unhappy people I know frame the narrative.
The focus of their energy is generally on what "everyone else" is doing, and specifically the things they don't agree with.
By focusing on the things they dislike about others it becomes harder for them to accept the ambiguous relationship between "self" and "other".
Sounds like someone needs psychiatric help.
They really are in a league of their own.

Yeah, good point. I guess I'd rather scroll instead of try to convince an AI why it should give me what I asked for, but that's probably just because to me scrolling is easier than putting effort into constructing a sentence.
Modern Google searches do a great job of returning results for people who want to buy things, but not a great job for people who want to learn things.
I think my ideal solution would be to have a custom search engine that only searches against wiki style sites or other websites dedicated to hosting reference material.
Things like this do a good job of showing why regular "dumb" search engines will continue to be relevant for finding referenced knowledge.
I don't think anyone is saying changing bathrooms will end bullying. Judging by the conversation I'm seeing I think most people are upset that a child in a government institution was physically beaten to death.
Although based on your comment it doesn't seem like you're on the same page as those people.
Exactly how old are you? Because I remember when my entire Tekken experience was locked behind a $0.25 to $0.50 microtransaction.
People willfully pay for things they enjoy. It's a fundamental aspect of any economic system. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time coming to grips with that.
It's my belief that everyone is a masochist to a certain degree, and those who don't realize it are in denial.
I drive a vehicle that burns gasoline and contributes to pollution. I purchase products that come in plastic packaging. I participate in an economy that can only exist by taking advantage of people in other countries where labor is "cheaper." These are all things that I enjoy doing even though I know they're inflicting suffering on people.
If I don't do these things I pretty much won't be able to function in society. And I certainly wouldn't be able to contribute anything that I think is valuable.
One option would be to end myself, but that would inflict suffering on all my friends and family.
Another option would be to believe that the good I'm doing will outweigh the suffering I inflict on other people.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this. Do you think it's possible to live a life where you don't inflict suffering on anyone else?
Absolutely true, but it's also more difficult to ask a good question when you don't know anything about what you're asking.
People who know a lot about a topic can ask very good questions about that topic.
The problem I see with most questions people post online is that they make too many assumptions that their audience will will magically understand the context of their question.
Good questions require relevant context.
Determining relevancy requires expertise.
Expertise comes from experience.
No matter how many questions you ask and answers you get you'll never "understand" something until you do it.
Instead of asking questions like "How do I do X?" people should be asking "I'm trying to accomplish X, I've tried Y, but I'm encountering Z. How could I resolve this?"
I guess my rule is that you should never ask someone a question without first trying to answer it yourself.
