What is something that should have died out a long time ago?

Andrew Tate, though that may be dangerous as he'll probably turn into a martyr.
There's a good list forming here.

I said nothing about the OS on the phone, why would you assume that I like Android?
I am an iPhone user, but that is beside the point, if Swish and BankID could run on an open mobile plattform, I'd be happy with that.
My point it to separate the main computer from the payment system while still being convenient.
I am a bit confused as how you missed that...
Something attached to the main computer, but with its own firmware/controls is still far better than having no device at all, and relying on external code for verification. Would a discrete box separate from everything else be better (independent of mobile phones as well)? Sure. But a great step that would be progress compared to the current status quo is what the other poster describes, with logic and chip verification running on a device attached to the device or computer with which you wish to pay.

You know, I actually don't think it'll be a good idea to kill people who are only powerful because they can talk. The more I think about it, the more I think they'll be turned into martyrs by their followers. It'll only embolden them.
So, something that really upsets the world in a tangible way would be...
Shooting more CEOs. And bankers.

Me. I feel like I shouldn't be around anymore since quite some time
I think your real answer is depression, since that's the cause of why you feel the way you feel. We haven't cured depression, but there are ways to combat it. Medical health professionals, medication, friends, mindfulness, exercise, etc are all ways to combat depression. When you're depressed, basically all seem impossible, but you just have to take it one baby step at a time

Racism will never die as we evolved to be tribal. Best we can do as a society is make it unacceptable. Which was happening when I grew up in 70s/80s America. Now we've backtracked and gone all-in with dog whistles.
That's not true. Sure, we have tribalism, but there's no reason it has to be about race. It could be about religion, politics, country of origin, and countless other things

Thanks for your words. I've been in treatment for a long time, I even believed to be feeling better, but then I became aware of all the lost years of my life. More than a decade now... and then I've been feeling like that again

After posting my comment, I figured the baseless part might get some critique, but I decided to leave it. I meant it as 'not based in realty or not based on facts', if that helps clarifying.
Also, if you heap in atheism with Christianity and Buddhism, you don't understand what atheism is.
Christianity and Buddhism are actual systems of belief, while atheism is simply a lack of belief in any god or deity.
Anyone who does not believe in some god/deity/greater power, is an atheist. Whether they like it or not, that's what it is. A simple definition about a persons lack of belief. It does not come with any other rules or dogma. No rituals or leadership at all, so it can't be a system.I wouldn't say I heap them in together. At times in my life I have rejected a belief in anything 'higher', which fits your definition of atheism, although perhaps my mindset was closer to an agnostic atheist stance, which to me is more along the lines of 'I don't believe, but I can't be certain as there's a limit to my knowledge', as opposed to being a strong proponent of the belief that there is nothing beyond death.

but IPv4 is so much nicer to read :((((
/s in case it's not obvious

Affects is such a strange way to put it. Like, "they caught a case of child labor."
wrote last edited by [email protected]I get you, but how would you phrase it? I expect, BTW, that it might be intended to cover both the extreme of children forced to work in a sweatshop 12/7 and children who have to help their parents with some subsistence tasks.

Every single fucking isp (at least in the states): nah
Really? Both my home internet and my mobile phone internet give me ipv6 addresses.

In reality, it's not purely about race. Most racism isn't between groups that are culturally identical, it is between groups with significant cultural differences. Race is just the most obvious attribute used to identify the other group.

Those two should not be counted in the same category.

Well, facism seems like the obvious choice right now, but I'm going deeper and choosing bigotry.

No, it is directly a problem. Believing in bullshit because someone in a higher position than you said it with zero fucking evidence is how MANY of humanity's ills have come about and persist. Religion feeds that idiocy.
No, it's not the only route, but it is a HUGE component of people believing things without evidence. That is, unequivocally, an actual, literal, direct problem.

Firstly, it's obvious "believing" means "zero evidence". If a belief had any solid evidences, it wouldn't be a belief, it would be a peer-reviewed scientific paper instead.
That said, you're conflating "belief" with "religious hierarchy" when, in reality, belief isn't necessarily dependent on hierarchy. I believe in Lilith and Lucifer, and I have no one "above me" except for Her and Him. In fact, the belief I follow on my own isn't even compatible with any kind of hierarchy, because these entities represent independence and rebelliousness, so it'd be quite paradoxical for me to have a leader/master/priestess/whatever.
Finally, I challenge you to point out any kind of "humanity's ill" inflicted by Luciferianism and other left-hand path beliefs, even those who actually have hierarchies (e.g. Quimbanda).
So, I sincerely remind you, don't generalize and attack every single religion and belief system on Earth because of a half dozen big ones who actually are to blame for many historical wars ("Holy wars") and their interference on scientific progress. Don't demonize the demons and demonesses, we're friends of scientific inquiry. Beware not to do friendly fire.Don't demonize the demons and demonesses
You are all following demons. Self-proclaimed Satanists, Atheists, "progressivists", billionaires, nazis, racists, bigots, child molesters, and rapists. Men who abuse women and women who abuse men. And those demons hate you more than anyone else can. They'll lead you to the everlasting hellfire. They won't be your friend.
we're friends of scientific inquiry.
Christians basically invented the scientific method. It has never rejected science apart from some fringe beliefs.

rofl no there isn't, you numpty.

@[email protected] Where in centuries of human history were there any wrongdoings stemming from Luciferianism and other leaderless occult belief systems? Where in centuries of human history did Luciferianism and other occult belief systems interfered or tried to hinger with scientific progress?
We don't know because the Christians purged the history books of them.
I'm not saying you're just as bad as Christians et. al., just similarly brainless for believing in things without evidence, which IS dangerous on its own.
-
Go on then try to explain how pagan religions that boil down to "don't fuck with nature, it'll kill you" are damaging?
wrote last edited by [email protected]rofl way to strawman their beliefs... Sure, it makes sense when you leave out everything made up.
Nowhere did I say they're AS BAD as Christians et. al., but belief without evidence is still fucking stupid and harmful to yourself and anyone you teach such drivel to.

Religion.
It served a purpose when societies were first moving from hunting and gathering to agriculture. A community needed to coalesce around something tangible for resource sharing, protection, decision making, etc...
It's why, from a societal evolution perspective, we went from totemic religions based on fertility and family groups, to mass religions with defined hierachies and roles, because the evolution or religions reflect that evolutions of society at the time.
We don't need that anymore. It does more harm than good in the modern world.
