In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.

    I didn’t grab the “wrong” quote-- I neglected to grab a quote at all. Oh no, did I do something wrong again by correcting you? haha

      Bro, are you on drugs?

      The text below is your entire comment before your updated quote comment. It contains a section where you quoted me. So it’s not that you neglected to quote. At this point I don’t even know what you are talking about. You’re all over the place.

      You seem to be under the impression that school administration are an exception and not the rule.

      They will fight you to get you to conform.

      Stripping out the somewhat bizarre manipulative language, yes, of course any organization is going to want you to use their systems to streamline their processes; it’s far more efficient to have everyone using the same the system than for it to be a hodgepodge of different methods to achieve the same goal. Does that really strike you as odd?”

        This should have been my comment, bro (lol):

        It is my experience that school administrators can be quite illogical.

        You seem to be under the impression that school administration are an exception and not the rule.

        [blahblahblah the rest of my comment here.]

        Keep digging that hole haha.

          Who is digging in a hole? I just disproved your statement outright and that’s only a single thread I could pull on at this point.

          A little summary of the situation: You said you grabbed the wrong quote. I agreed with implicitly on that and noted how all over the place you were just trying to find any reason to disagree with me. So you shifted to claiming that you didn’t use wrong quotes, that you never quoted me at all. I show you that you did quote me. Then you shift back to saying you did have the wrong argument/quote to begin with. Somehow you think this makes me look as though I am digging? Ok.

          You seem to be under the impression that school administration are an exception and not the rule.

          Nothing I stated indicated I am under this impression. Again, speaking to a subset of the population (school administrators) in context of conversation about that population does not necessitate it is an exception of the superset. I can draw you pictures on why this inference you made is flawed, but I see no point in that.
