  • Your problem is that you want to censor ideas you don’t like.

    This is a natural result of media controlled by corporate interests. It’s also a misunderstanding of “free speech” – even when you are free to say what you will, it does not mean you are free from the consequences of that speech.

    You want to control what other people think by dictating what they get to see and what they’re allowed to share with others.

    Again, I suggest looking into how propaganda works. Letting everyone speak about anything (without vetting of topic, qualifications, or direction) has consequences. We are seeing those consequences now and will continue to see more as the propaganda machine runs wild on the back of “let everyone speak”.

    Your view of this is overly simplistic and I am, in the most polite way, attempting to direct you to self improvement. It is a common issue at the moment across all discourse – probably vestigial of the information sharing capabilities now available.


















  • I would suggest that the Dixon Ticonderoga is the most reliable, most cost-efficient, and easiest-to-use writing utinsil in the history of humanity.*

    Each other option has more points of potential failure and additional complexities over the Ticonderoga. While more complicated tools may net you some improvement in writing style or sharpness, they are massive trade-offs in more basic areas.

    This would be much the same question if it were “what car would you drive for the rest of your life” between fancy ones like Ferraris and Lambos to cheaper, more reliable ones like Corollas and Civics. Everyone likes the look of the Ferrari – but the only car for the rest of your life? It’s got to be reliable, or you’re going nowhere. You want to be able to keep driving.

    The Ticonderoga guarantees you can keep writing.

    *intentionally overselling it for humor. But it is a nice, simple, good-quality pencil.
