Any recommendations for a mobile app?

  • It is an extension/evolution of the idea of ricing cars. Originally it was something like Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Basically stuff that makes your car look "racier"/faster, but does nothing for performance.

    Edit to add - That is probably backronym to cover up for the mostly racist origination of that term. I can't be sure.

  • I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.

    I have seen the repeats too though.

  • When I went outside to feed the forest friends this morning, a blue jay with injuries that I had been hanging out with that was missing for a few days showed up.

    I'm going to ride that high all day.

  • Possibly that is part of it. But I am not sitting here saying humanity is getting worse over time in general. Just that the value placed on some of the unwritten parts of the contract have lessened in value somewhat.

  • I didn't say anything about morality declining or nothing meaning anything anymore.

    I feel like I'm just repeating myself in every one of these replies.

    People are no better now. Morality is definitely not worse now. Overall, humans are more accepting of each other now than they have been in most of human history.

    My comment is only on the perceived value of a vow. And how that is tied to the perceived value of one's word.

    This isn't generational, nor is it me saying the kids need to get better, because in fact I think the kids are doing very well all things considered.

    However, these kids are also growing up inside a system that feels like it's under collapse. Where the only true physical rewards in life come to those who easily break their word or do not consider a vow to be beyond all circumstance.

  • Just considering the demographics on this website, there's a fairly decent chance you're not older than me. Our experiences may differ.

    But just by reading this, it's pretty clear that we have a different definition of a vow. I'm not sure why you're so up in arms about this.

    I called you contrarian because you're in here arguing a point I didn't even make. I didn't say that I would hold you to a vow nor that I would judge you if you broke your vow.

    I said that over the last ~50 years of me watching people I have seen a general pattern of the lessening of the value of these intangibles.

  • That's correct. People have always been people. In my short time on this dirty ball in space I have noticed that people I know, and people I work with, and people I interact with on the street, all put less and less value on intangible things like honor, respect, and your personal word being worth something as time goes on.

    I'm in no way saying people were better in the past. I'm saying that the value assigned to these intangibles is currently worth less than it was in recent cultural memory.
