Yup, I also think of chess when I read it, so pawned - turned into a pawn, demoted to the weakest piece, etc. If I read owned, then it’s owned.
Pineapple on pizza is correct vim is better than emacs debian is the best linux distro startrek is a bad show
Some more information:
I looked at four different Samsung phones today (physically in the region). 2x phones bought in Europe. 2x phones bought in the region.
All non-rooted, stock android.
None of the phones had Aura installed. Two of them had AppCloud installed (one EU phone, one phone from the region) and it couldn’t be disabled as easily as the other phone. (I haven’t tried ADB, etc. yet, just the standard uninstallation procedure).
I don’t think domination is actually intelligent or smart.
The app’s privacy settings claim that users can disable this data collection by turning off “AppCloud” in the app list. But, according to SMEX, deletion requires the user to submit a form that does not exist, making it impossible to fully remove, at least without advanced technical expertise.
Hm, I just uninstall AppCloud no problem in a non-rooted, stock android in and from the region.
It also showed the URI or whatever of com.something.aura.
However, can’t find any Aura app.
Looks like Aura app gets installed by AppCloud. I’m a bit frustrated I can’t find a list of apps known to be installed by AppCloud, or that include this *.aura.* URI. I mean this should be relevant for a shit ton of people and could be easily crowdsourced.
On a related note, I don’t remember the best resources I’ve come across, but here’s something for a bit of an idea:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_error
Legally, there is the concept of contemporaneous notes in many countries. Meaning if you write something down shortly after the event occured it can have legal validity.
There is also hypnotherapy, EMDR, and other forms of therapy, where many people can access memories that they couldn’t. I was surprised myself how many memories I could access with EMDR.
I find the concept appears to be similar to meditation and lots of sensory information + association. How stuff felt, sounded, smelled, where you felt in your body etc.
Less related, but there’s also Method of Loci etc. to remember lots of very specific things
Sorry, hard disagree.
I also don’t want to argue. So feel free to say what you like about this, but I won’t respond. I’ll just drop some thoughts for consideration.
Jehovas Witnesses, Moonies, Scientology and so many more are still ongoing. Cult mechanism are literally some of closest stuff to brainwashing there is. They are malign. The followers are victims, and collectively this absolutely should be addressed.
Also, I am not offering any kind of solution here, I.e. to just go after the cults and disband them. As others have said it’s nuanced.
I really don’t mind the vast majority. Unless it’s really dumb, hateful or repetitive, I’m good. It’s just one more thing to scroll past, if I’m not interested. Though I do notice people with cool input running for the hills when the questions aren’t ‘exquisite’ enough and places can turn dull.
I’m not arguing against that, just drawing attention to what kind of ‘light’ they are given. It’s not like there are only two perspectives.
Walnuts, figs, honey, mozzarella, blue cheese, rucola and parmesan
Note to others. The quality of the links isn’t great. And there seems to be an authoritarian communist et al. bias. Cross-reference stuff, and consider biases.
That’s pretty cool and very kind of you. But I was exaggerating, though it does hit me more than it should.
But cognitively I know it’s usually not that big of a deal. Sometimes the way I communicated is an issue, or somebody interpreted it wrong, or they are having a bad day, being unreasonable, or I just straight up made a mistake. It could be so many things.
I find this article pretty useful for anyone who might struggle with this and rejection in general:
Help, I want to report an assault!
Admirable. A single down-vote, even out of 200 and I take physical damage for the next few days.
How about knighting people who actually do real good, rather than rich assholes? Oh right, the people knighting them are the fucking monarchs.
The dumbest game I’ve ever played. Escaped into it as a kid on release and got addicted. Sure the initial journey to 60 was pretty magical. It was my first mmo, and I had played WC3 a lot before.
But my god, the dunning krueger effect, the toxicity, the community. Just terrible imo. And of course the utter unfulfilling time sink.
I’ve also been quite a competitive gamer, having played a lot of cs, dota and wc3 ladder, some semi-professionally. And WoW is simply not it.
I learned how evil Blizzard is, how addicted I can get to certain games, etc. yeah, the one word that comes to mind looking back at it is “stupid”.
LOL pretty much went the same path as you. Tried some other search engines (don’t have a searxng one though). And it’s only that IRC log. So, personally couldn’t find any evidence. But also doesn’t seem that important, since the concept appears to be the most important part.
Talked with a friend today and casually mentioned the book, and she got furious and mentioned a bunch of problems with the book and the author. I advise people to look for criticism about this book before using it. The only specific thing I’ll point out here is this:
“In 2019, a group of certified NVC trainers published a #MeToo statement honouring Marshall Rosenberg’s legacy but also acknowledging he had slept with students at some times of his life.”

Yes, please! Wired headphones also really don’t last long if used daily as a built-in mic replacement.
