The forgotten war on the Walkman
Today, the Sony Walkman inspires nostalgia, but in the 1980s, it was feared as a dangerous device that could disconnect society.

I still have a walkman in my eurorack (the Loopman from Error Intruments).

Back doors are never safe. Never a good idea. They are always eventually a security hole.
And you think conservatives are genuinely trying to pass these other laws for the good of society and not for control?

Can you write up the logic chain that made you assume I think any particular law is good for society, let alone the one you focused on?
All I was commenting on was the idea that conservatives are the ones crying “we live in a society” and not progressives. I’ve always considered progressive ideas to be more in touch with “we live in a society!” Than conservatives who want to punish and suppress marginalized groups who are, in fact, part of society.
What the hell man?
“Fuck you I got mine” is not considering others and ignores that we live in a society. And that’s what these conservative leaders are all about.
Corporations having no responsibility for the environment and the communities they are part of is a conservative ideal. It does not support society.
I noted the environmental laws because they were exceptions, and look a bit surprising in retrospect. When one learns Nixon passed major environmental laws, they are often surprised.
Oh wait, are you here to say those environmental laws, things like the clean air act are just tools of control over the common man. Clean air and water is oppression?

Progressives say, "We live in a society, so let's not harm each other." Conservatives say, "Do what I want, not what you want, or society will crumble." Take a look at all the morality laws, and try to find even two where the ultimate result isn't punishment for daring to live in a manner they don't agree with. And the overwhelming majority of those morality laws are passed by conservatives. Even libertarians complain if someone has the audacity to tax them for the roads they use, especially the ones they use indirectly.
Even when the laws are for good reasons, control is applied. Do you not see how unnecessary regulatory burden can be used as a tool for gatekeeping? As for environmental laws, it's a bit audacious to talk about Nixon given what Trump has done in the last couple months. Who in their right mind (who isn't profiting from the sale of coal) wants to keep coal plants that operate at a loss around, whether you believe in climate change or not?

tons of people in multi-use trails are just completely obvious to everyone trying to pass them. and then of course, when you do pass them, they panic and scream and throw a tantrum about how you almost hit them.
When I run and come on people who clearly have no idea I'm there, I yell "HEY," when I'm like 15 feet back or so. That's all I feel obligated to do. If you wander around the world completely unaware that it ain't a private server, you deserve a little scare.

Ok buddy. This conversation is broken. You keep asserting that I think regulation is always good. Like I’m on the side of Trump and Nixon and back doors and banning vpns or whatever the fuck else. You invented that.

I was being facetious. That's the excuse these idiots use for every single "new" thing.
Ok, see that makes a lot more sense than whatever the other guy who replied to me is going on about and accusing me of.
Thanks for the reply.

you can speak to a reader, you can call for their attention.
with bluetooth earphones and smartphones, it's like you're in two different realities. Because other people stop existing in that bubble, because they become part of the background, bubbled people stop caring about them.
Honestly on the bus or train it's kinda nice to just be in a bubble. Obviously you still need to be aware to some degree but I remember my college bus trips being a nice isolated time most days.

No, I keep pointing out how you're cherry-picking how conservatives are good.
