Post cartoons complaining about smartphones

where the fuck do cell plans cost that much

you should check your budget, how much your yearly phone """rent""" cost + how much your service itself cost.. you fell for the monthly jew.

>soul vs soulless

“If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.”

I have nearly 200 PDF books in my laptop

If only i knew how to read.

gen.lib.rus.ec
sci-hub.tw
About 90% of reference books and scientific research papers are on these two sites.
Good luck finding them at your local library.

The only thing books have over PDFs is that they're printed in high resolution and don't need a battery. In every other parameter, digital wins.

>the only thing books have over PDFs..

At least books don't need to boot up first nor do they spy on you. :-)

I bought my phone for cash money and I'm paying $8/month.

>I have an even better teleporter that can take me anywhere I want to go quickly
>it's called a bus

user, libraries HAVE a record of all the books you borrowed under your name.
Sure, they are less likely to sell this data than a website is, but that doesn't mean they don't spy on you. They absolutely do.

how many of those have you read and how many of those did you enjoy ?

Yeah the ones you check out, anything questionable, just read it in the building or photocopy a few pages a time to reconstruct the books.

Like normal people do you fucking schmuck.

If you're worried about eBooks spying on you use Linux or BSD.

Is it very common for people to photocopy entire books over time at the library secretly out of fear of being watched?

About 40 Nearly all of them were/are Non-Fiction books on /k/ related stuff

This comic is not wrong, though.
People who think that libraries should go away simply because we have the internet are retarded. For one, there are still people - albeit few - who don't have a ready access to the internet, and need to use the library computer. It can also be useful in emergencies.
But internet aside, libraries don't just archive crummy old pails of books, they also keep a publicly accessibly archive of recently released magazines, newspapers, properly described and catalogued, they serve as community centers, host events for kids, overall they are great places and don't require much expense to upkeep

Moreso, I used to believe that to be the case as well. I never really argued in favor of that point, but until I went to university, and started visiting my local library to do schoolwork, I used to live under the impression that they have been entirely replaced by the internet by now.

Yes and no. Welfare perpetuates inequality. An actual working social security system like in some European countries that encourages people to study/work is much better.

Burgers continually get shat on by corporations, but for some bizarre reason they'll rather suck corporate cock than demand government regulations on day to day necessities, because >muh capitalism

Did you know the telecom/ISP lobby has effectively managed to, by law, kill competition in about half of the states?
If you want to start a competing ISP business in those states, it's either downright illegal, absurdly difficult legalwise or existing companies has the legal right to buy your company for a fraction of its worth.

>I don't get it, this is DUMB

The prosperity of the system. If a system is prosperous in a 1%-own-80%-of-the-wealth situation, it's fine. If that situation creates wars, famines, whatever, then it's extreme inequality.

>they'll rather suck corporate cock than demand government regulations on day to day necessities, because >muh capitalism
I don't know if you are stupid or just a left leaning fag. But you can boycott a corporation. Try that with taxes.

Extreme is pretty self explanatory. Why move the goalpost to semantic nitpicking?

I could ask you the same newfag. What i meant was that you didn't presented a point in this comic. And i think you don't even can do it. The comic is stupid because there is no point to it.

>you can boycott a corporation
Not if by anti-competitive practices you have no alternative, as is the case right now in the US telecom market.

>Extreme is pretty self explanatory.
No it's not. Please tell us, what is extreme

And how do you boycott a corporation when there's no suitable alternative to the necessity they deliver?

Well most people don't understand the meaning of "welfare", then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare
That's why I explained beforehand that there's the "welfare" welfare of people cashing checks for doing nothing, and an actual system of social welfare that helps people become productive members of society.

There are also people living worse than peasants would 150 years ago.

>1615
>Medieval times

The meaning is different, yes.
But what happens is that the person will try to stretch them getting money for as long as possible.
People will usually put in just enough effort in job hunting so they keep getting government money.
Maybe things are different in America, but here in Europe (specifically The Netherlands) we have a huge problem where people do exactly this.

Yes, but how many, proportionately? Overall the vast majority of people are leading better lives, even if a small minority (I don't have numbers, do you?) are living worse lives. And we're still making things better.

incels have sex

>Do they honestly think people used to talk to strangers or something else while riding the bus?

They still do where I live.

>People will usually put in just enough effort in job hunting so they keep getting government money.
Again, depends on the system, and again, I made sure beforehand to say that there are good welfare systems and bad welfare systems.

We mean cashing checks to not work

>good welfare systems
Can you give any examples?
Because I can't come up with any that actually work as designed.

Could've been a good comic if the smartphone said things like "check out this new trend on twitter!", "comment your friend's photo on facebook!", "don't even think of going to bed before replying to this post on Yea Forums, or else your mother will die in her sleep tonight!"

There are also peasants 150 years ago who lived worse than those people did. Consider slavery

You realize noble women were actually educated right?

>Can you give any examples?
Sure, but first you have to select a criteria that you define as "good". A welfare system that reduces crime? A welfare system that reduces unemployment? A welfare system that promotes GDP growth? A welfare system that prevents health-related bankruptcies? etc etc etc. It would be easier if you pick a parameter and then you can compare objective values.

Shut the fuck up smartass and say what up mean instead of ultraqualifying everything. People are like 'paying people to be poor is harmful' and you're like 'UM ACTUALLY WEBSTERS DEFINES WELFARE AS ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT' and someone asks 'like what?' and suddenly its 'UH INSUFFICIENT DATA MORE PARAMATERS NEEDED'.
You are infected with the language virus of needing to be right all the time, over nothing and to no effect. Quit it

I was talking about a welfare system that (almost) isn't abused by people who'd rather live off the money the government gives them than using it to improve their lives.

>going with contracts
>not pay as you go

>ultraqualifying
I asked for ONE qualification. One. You don't want to, that's fine. But then it's an endless game of catch of "that's not what I meant."

I don't think there's a single system that isn't abused. If that's your criteria, then yes, all systems are broken. I think only the laws of physics are not broken.

You know perfectly well we are talking about welfare cheques that go to people not applying for work. You used semantics to argue we didnt mean what we meant, and then when asked to complete your point, you say your definition of the word 'welfare' is too broad. It's just tiresome because we all knew what we were talking about and you're asking for assistance in making your own point, while acting like people don't understand.

>A welfare system that reduces crime? A welfare system that reduces unemployment? A welfare system that promotes GDP growth? A welfare system that prevents health-related bankruptcies?
It looked to me like the topic was welfare systems that reduce unemployment. But if you can provide an example of each of those, I'd be curious to hear.

I'm sorry, you have trouble understanding. Just because a system is abused doesn't mean it's 100% bad. For example you can shoplift from a grocery store, does that mean capitalism is "inherently broken"?

If you insist on this silly idea that if something can be abused then it's "inherently broken" then you can stay mad.

>moving the goalposts
Just because it was uncommon doesn't mean it never happened

>You used semantics to argue
I didn't make a single argument yet except "some welfare systems are good, pending a criteria you select". You didn't want to select a criteria, so that's that.

People always argue that people would converse on the bus, but who the fuck would randomly talk with a bunch of strangers? Truthfully I was born in the late 90s so I was never an adult before smartphones, but even when I’m on a public bus and I’m not using my phone, I just stare out the window.

>welfare systems that reduce unemployment
See, now that's a solid criteria that can be objectively tested. Let's look into some welfare systems that promote employment!

>replacing
Looks like you're the moron he was mocking

You can replace the phone with a TV and it would be the perfect 80s comic, change it with a Radio and it would be a perfect 50s comic

Thee thing where people can take mpney their entire life and never try to work or do anything, and spend it all on drugs and mountain few? Thats bad. All of that is bad. That is the broken part of it, and a good system would not allow for it. There are states between 'totally broken' and 'perfect', and the part of welfare where people spend $20,000 a year on drugs and snacks, and the part where people have kods just to increase their welfare check, is broken.
Now talk like a human instead of nervously trying to catch everyone on a technicality. I know welfare is a touchy racial subject and critiquing it can seem right-wing to the untrained eye, but getting prissy and eager to accuse people of not understansing is neither socially concious nor is it mastery

>North England
You're not a very smart man, are you?

>Just because a system is abused doesn't mean it's 100% bad.
No, you don't seem to understand.
Broken =/= unusable.
Capitalism, Just like welfare, is a broken system, precisely because the system can be abused.
Does this mean we all should stop using that system and start using communism instead? Of course not.
We haven't been able to invent any better systems, so we keep using them.
But this does not mean that they're good systems.

SYSTEMS THAT CANNOT BE ABUSED
There, that's the best I can do.
If you still can't figure out what makes a system broken, then I give up.
I dislike people like you. You think you know everything there is about a subject and instead of accepting new knowledge, you discard anything new just because it doesn't fit in your worldview.

Okay, let me make this even more clearer.
A SYSTEM THAT IS 99% GOOD IS STILL BROKEN
It may work very well, but if it can be abused, it's still a broken system.

Kinda hard to access something you can't find, grandma.

We have always known exactly what we're talking about, your interjections have always only been your own co fusion, and we do not need a coach throughout this. We all know people who habe used welfare properly and people who abused it. You getting all strict and final about drawing that line is unnecessary. Is the shared wealth wasted or not? Nobody asked for you to dit here and govern the conversation, especially since you're shit at it and constantly ask everyone to define everything we already know, in a conversarion you claim not to be making a point in.

I do think smartphones are a danger slowly unfolding over time though. They've only been a thing for what, ten years? The constant exposure to radiation from wifi and shit like 4/5g, the addictive nature if the internet, the way it warps the development of kid's brains if they're exposed to a smartphone at a young enough age, shit's worrying.

Underrated post

Even though boomer comics are pretty ridiculous it's a fact that smartphone, internet and social media addiction is a problem that will only become worse as time goes on.

They only break if you're using them stupidly. The forced upgrade comes when older models no longer support the newest OS version. And who cares unless you're a poorfag.

Also, if you disable 4G, smartphone batteries easily last a week and higher end models can go two or three. People are just retarded about battery and system resources getting used when they aren't looking at the phone.

The Decameron was written in the 14th century, and it literally targets young women as primary audience. There were quite a number of women writers in the era, like Margueritte de Navarre (15th century) who wrote her own collection of novellas, inspired by Boccaccio. You should really read more.

Welfare is brokem because any individual can abuse it effortlessly, and any individual can decide to act like a retard and get drunk every day and make themselves a hopeless degenerate who literally needs welfare, knowing that doing so is an option instead of just growing and being functional. Its a flaw of letting people on welfare have free will. It is what it is? A flaw in the system. People struggle with jt

A system is broken if it can be abused.
A broken system is bad.
I literally can't make this more clearer.

Ah yes, your data that proved absolutely nothing.
Sure, welfare works for the most part.
But it is still being exploited which makes the system bad.

So welfare is a good system because all systems can be abused.
Okay, we are saying that abuse of a system is bad. Can we make a system immune to abuse? Maybe, maybe not. Do we have a horde of millions of social and economic dead ends who sap the wealth of the nation and turn it into nothing? Yes. Thats a million times more important than your metaphysical theory talk about entropy in systems. We have an abysmal welfare sink in the US.

Why are you so hung up on preventing discussion of welfare's flaws? If you have a simple point about welfsre's flaws being acceptable, then go ahead and say it. The way it is now, you're forbidding someone from saying it meeds to be fixed because of some verbal technicality. What is with you?

I dunno, i kinda remember looking at catalogs like that when i was a teenager because of the lingerie section and there was less airbrushing of nipples and such.

I had access to actual porn, but something about it being in a catalog made it lewder.

>Semantics and no data sure do beat data and precise definitions!
Please learn how to use data in an argument.
You cannot just throw data at someone and expect them to instantly understand what kind of point you're making with the data.
>No. Stop trying to put words into my mouth.
How about you explain yourself properly for once?

Depends what you mean by worse. Peasants had a lot of vacation time because of the planting season and whatever, but peasants probably didn't have the same psychology as modern people. People work more, but probably have a psychological need to work anyway as a result of schooling pushing people to be constantly on the move and thinking (as much as they can, anyway). The peasant probably didn't have the work jitters.

You attempted to declare it wrong to call welfare flawed because anything that has good parts can't be called flawed. Flawed means having a flaw, by the way.

"A broken system is bad" is meaningless semantics. Like I already explained This is a lack of understanding on your part or trolling.

I am not going to argue semantics because you can define everything as "good", "bad", "broken", or whatever you want. That's why I said "specify a criteria", and the only other reasonable person in this thread specified "welfare that reduces unemployment" and I provided data.

Do you see now the difference between arguing semantics and actually providing objective data?

>You attempted to declare it wrong to call welfare flawed
I... never did? I said welfare is flawed? Where did I "attempt to declare it's wrong to call welfare flawed"? What are you talking about?

>Virtuous wives

Unironic kino even if it is boomer silliness

Okay, let me put this in better words, then:
If the current system of welfare can be exploited by people in the way that people can get money from it without having to put in actual work, then that welfare system should eventually be replaced by a system that does not allow this exploitation to happen even if the current welfare system works for 99% of all people receiving welfare.
Would you agree with this?
Also, please show me how your data proves or disproves this statement. If you can't do that, then that's okay. Admitting that you made a mistake is not something bad.

>tfw i have forward head
>tfw work out and getting some musculature but the hump is still there

We obviously always meant welfare abuse, and your interjection into someone else's conversation asking us to qualify 'good and bad' to you is stupid when youre not coming with a point. What is your point? That we MUST qualify good welfare in order to know welfare abuse happens? We know welfare abuse exists and because of it millions are lost in a hopeless cycle of enabling. That was the only real point, so if you have a point about what part of welfare is good, BRING UP THAT PART OF WELFARE and just say it. Why is it our job to ask you questions about your point to get you to delover a defense of welfare?

My point is old phones don't have wifi or mobile data, hence why the battery can last for a long time. But if you turn off wifi or mobile data on your smartphone, your battery can last for a while. So battery isn't really a selling point for old phones compared to smartphones

I agree, water is a better alternative

>Also, please show me how your data proves or disproves this statement

My data is unrelated to this statement. I never replied to this statement and the data never addressed this statement. I said your statement is meaningless semantics since you yelled in all-caps and just generally got mad that I was dealing with data instead of your meaningless semantics If you want to keep arguing semantics with yourself and keep being mad at arguing semantics with yourself, go right ahead.

>if you have a point about what part of welfare is good, BRING UP THAT PART OF WELFARE and just say it

My calc professor in university had to be corrected by the class or his TA's every five to six problems because he'd usually forget to carry something or copy the problem down wrong. To be fair, it was only his second quarter teaching instead of doing research, and he was obviously pretty nervous.

But according to you I guess no one should have pointed out that he got it wrong, and we should have all just sat there twiddling our thumbs while he wasted ten minutes trying to figure out why he wasn't getting the right answer.

hence there is no perfect system, and the ones that may be considered one in one sense is maximally undeseriable in another. In other words flawedness by itself is a useless criterion.

Our ancestors obviously didn't kill themselves due to having to live in the cages, and I don't see people on the streets violently orgasming due to having indoor plumbing either.

Not really, it's a novelty at best. Even the nips have started using touch bricks instead.

>Our ancestors obviously didn't kill themselves due to having to live in the cages
Neither do most people today.

> and I don't see people on the streets violently orgasming due to having indoor plumbing either.
But you also don't see them violently shitting out worms due to not having indoor plumbing. Actually, this reminds me, if you want your precious pre-modern lifestyle, move to rural India. Of course, it's not a 100% true pre-modern experience, you will still have access to the internet and modern medicine, but it's pretty close.

>Sure, people might live longer, but are they living better?
I'd say yes, but it depends on your values. Yes, a person can be equally happy as a medieval peasant and as a modern day millionaire, or equally unhappy. But modern life does not make you unhappy per se. If you know how to be happy with what you have, you can live a long and happy life, and also have access to everything the modern world has. You can learn things, move to a different country, take up a hobby, shitpost on Yea Forums.

>As for going back, it's a poor argument. We lack skills and habits to thrive in more primitive society, but that doesn't make it worse.
It's not hard to learn the skills, some people do it.

Not sure if it's jealousy so much as reaction to what seems like an enormous social change. Smartphones make communication very easy, but it's in a way very unlike what they understand in a practical sense. They only see the downsides without the benefits and so it seems crazy and wrong the younger folk are all headed down that path, even proudly so.

My last chemistry teacher actually didn't want to bother forcing us to memorize the periodic table because constant internet access made it largely a redundant exercise.

>Neither do most people today.
I don't think you understand my argument. My argument is that subjective sense of happiness and life satisfaction does not increase with material progress. Which I demonstrated by extrapolating people's mood - if we are in normal mood now, our cavemen ancestors would be suicidally depressed. If our cavemen ancestors were in normal mood, we would be euphoric 24/7. Neither of which is true.

That's accurate though. Or economists. Or scientists!

Were people ever required to memorize it? I'm a physicist and I don't remember anything except hydrogen and helium.

I remember first 3 periods because my childhood was pretty boring.

But the point is THAT system did collapse. From our perspective, this is a good thing, from their perspective it was catastrophic, you fucking NPC. So, when OUR system collapses, our successors (probably the mudslimes) are going to repost these comics and laugh at us.

So, no, you don't have a point.

In fairness, this is basically the modern-day equivalent of an Inn you would stop at while on your way to other places. Only instead of sleeping in rat-infested bales of hay and eating stale bread you get big macs and air-conditioning.

We're overdue for a big war. The basic social fabric of democracy is bring strained throughout the West. Global climate change will probably force millions at or below the equator northwards to countries that can't support them. Automation will soon bring us to the crisis point of transition to a post-labor economy. China is becoming a cyberpunk dystopia.

We're in the Roaring 20s right before the crash.

I'm not even going to bother looking up Leaf net, but I can almost guarantee you Greenland has it worse. A 10 mbps line will easily cost you the equivalent of ~360$/month. And I'm not sure you can even get higher than that.

this but with twitter

You know the funniest part? It's boomers on the internet who are resurfacing these beliefs.
They never really went away, but in the "good ol days" the bitter flat earther would only share his beliefs with his children and easily manipulable friends. Now they post it on the internet since their kids have access to public information and have decided to not listen anymore.
Like, I just discovered many members of my extended family don't believe in evolution or the advancement of technology, but I never knew because I don't usually pay attention to anything they talk about.

Grossly misleading numbers. Substract the comicbooks and kiddie shit like Curious George if you want real numbers.

I am mildly disappointed. Unless that's a crop.

Boomer spotted

Government is the mark of civilization, you can have a corrupt corporate government, a socially responsible democratic government, a psychotic militaristic autocracy, etc. But ultimately, you can either live in civilized society with a governing body, or outside of it in complete primitive anarchy.

Even the people who contanstly yell "muh taxes" and "government get out" still advocate for more government rule to control or destroy they things they personally dislike.

I have never so much as cracked one and I have deliberately tossed one at a wall before, what the fuck are you people even doing?

As opposed to what?
The disease, war, and shit living conditions are still all around you, you're just in the social class that worries about it less.

>Why do you think people spend 40-60 dollars on screen protectors for their Ijew?
I've never had an iphone mostly just samsungs but I always figured people with broken screens were some kind of colossal retards that were trying to bounce bowling balls off of their phones to end up in the dipshit hall of fame or something.
Because the smartphone screens I've dealt with are not at all easy to break.

If the artist is suggesting that people don’t think about political issues or get as involved as they used to then maybe i could buy what they’re saying but im pretty sure they’re just equating smart phone usage with being a nazi.

Looks like the signature says 1917, which wouldn't be entirely off with the price being 20 cents.

They are getting pretty censorious.

I don't get water meme. Is it based, if very remotely, off the water pail or pokemon fetching comic?
