@lemmy.worldPerfect glasses.
Glasses that are able to change based on if you are looking at something close or far away.
Able to see close up just fine, but far away is blurry? When loooking at something close, the lenses reform to no magnification.
Now, make that into a contact lens. Glasses and people with seeing disability are now a thing of the past!
People use words to express their feelings rather than emojis.
Emojis are less serious and a comment that uses them extensively is taken much less seriously than a comment without emojis.
Instead of being unresponsive, be a time waster. Be hostile. Keep agreeing until they try to get information out of you. Is your name John but they ask for Greg? Say, yes this is Greg.
I turn these calls in to entertainment opportunities. And it may be confirmation bias but after having done this for a couple months, call volume has dropped dramatically.
Maybe this is a bad idea. But for me, it’s been fun.
My favorite so far was to keep agreeing and saying yes, then to turn on porn silently, then slowly increase the volume and ask if they can hear that. Get mad at them for making you listen to it. Keep turning up the volume until it is deafening. They will hang up.
Deflection?
You said, “ It's not like this evidence is likely to be sourced any other way.”
They said as paraphrased, “yes there is another way, letting journalists cover the topic”
And you called this deflection? You are the one not arguing in good faith.
This is an Internet forum where people discuss things. You are being a Luddite with respect to AI and self driving cars.
You cannot stop progress regardless of your opinion.
