I'll check it out, though I don't agree with Sam on a few issues. If he's worried about how we interact online isn't healthy, I would have to agree. Especially when it comes to young men. Too many are developing cluster B tendencies and a general negativity towards women.

People like Andrew Tate can be dangerous to young men and while I do understand why people say that we should allow everyone to speak freely and bad ideas like his should be challenged, as most would see what hes saying as bullshit. The problem is the few that buy into his rhetoric.

I agree with a lot of what you said. Moderators can moderate how they see fit. When we sit down and talk about censorship honestly, most people would agree that in some form of it. Like who would want grown ass adults walking up to children and saying anything they want because of this notion of free speech. We censor ourselves when we are at work and act in a professional manner. Same when we are having conversations with people we don't know very well and we learn to read the room and avoid divisive conversations.

As far as social media and it's effect on our mental health, it doesn't look great. The internet and social media is a new phenomenon that will have to adapt to. Are places like 4chan where there's no moderation better for humans overall? I don't think so. Do we want a fascist state that controls all forms of media online and offline? Probably not. I don't think absolutes when it comes to free speech and expression is safe or healthy.

Reply to comment by BrothelWaffles in 10% of patients infected early in the pandemic still had symptoms 1 year later. Common long COVID symptoms were shortness of breath (26.5%), joint pain (26.9%), loss of smell or taste (27.0%), impaired attention or concentration (22.3%), memory loss (40.0%), and sleep disorders (36.6%) by Wagamaga

Same here, my sense of smell has just been dulled since covid. Like I don't always smell my BO like I use to, or if there was something rotting in the garbage, I'd need to be right over it to smell it.

Did they use the same naming conventions as the kings? All their sons and daughters were just named after their parents? I figure the kings and queens did this mostly for name recognition.

I wonder if the poor working class had names that the ruling class would call them individually. Or were they were all seen as a monolith? I'm guessing the latter. Though, I have heard that pharaohs were buried with their favorite servants. Futurama taught me that.
