For them, socialism is an aesthetic. Not an ideology.

I mean they literally have billionaires.

Me whose phone is too old to update to the new ios: “hahahha, finally an advantage to my low income”

Amazing initiative. Thank you for promoting accessibility!

My friend told me in 3 years he had to buy 3 different batteries.

I get that, but as someone on a currently near 8 year old phone, I’ve been told by friends the fairphone will barely last half that long :/.

Isn’t fair phone a for profit company? If it is, doesn’t change much.

If it is a non-profit, then that’s even better, lets get some philanthropist on it.

Can some investor pour 100 million or something into fairphone so the phones actually become good?

I mean that’s biology. We can do some pretty cool stuff, but we just don’t understand how so much in the human body works. It’s so fucking complex.

I worked as an intern at a lab studying octopus vulgaris.

They are extremely sensitive to all sorts of things in the water. Keeping them well is very difficult. Although I would imagine if there are big but gradual changes in water environment, they would have a chance of adapting faster due to short life cycles and the fact that mating creates hundreds of thousands of eggs.

But they

1. Have extremely short lifespan so a limited capacity to learn (1-2 years)
2. Don’t raise their offspring, in fact after mating/laying eggs they naturally die, so no knowledge sharing
3. Are extremely solitary and don’t have social bonds or do anything socially, so little communication/passing of knowledge

Yeah, “behavioural” can sound like it just means people who are antisocial or something, but it includes MDD, schizophrenia, dementia, parkinsons etc.

I used to love taking transit as a disabled person (when it was accessible), but now my condition has worsened so bad I cannot travel without being horizontal. Which means I need to pay caregivers to take me to medical appointments by car.
