@Longspeak@bardicperspiration.club @RosannaSibora@fosstodon.org I believe it 100% apt. AI shouldn't be used as a mental crutch or substitute for higher-level of any level of thinking, but I think those who approach it this way are going to experience mental atrophy much like the physical atrophy undoubtedly you are trying your best to overcome. Bless you and keep it up

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social No, the US has always been more accurately described as a constitutional republic (if anything, maybe you can call it an indirect democracy, but definitely not a pure form of one). I believe this article best sums things up: https://www.standrewslawreview.com/post/is-the-united-states-a-constitutional-republic

@Natasha_Jay Who said anything about retiring from the Internet? If anything, I am considering posting daily prompts by which people here can answer.

@Natasha_Jay Yes and no, half of my high school classmates didn't have social media when I last spoke to them. I choose pseudonyms except for LinkedIn due to being hacked and privacy concerns. I will always find a home away from home online though.

@ClickyMcTicker@hachyderm.io @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social It was simply a correction to the suggestion that the US is a straight democracy, which it has never been

@pheonix@hachyderm.io Thanks, that is really the best drawing I can do. If it's a matter of life and death and I have to play charades, count on dying😄

@treedpea@mastodontti.fi @pixelfed@mastodon.social Unfortunately not true in some cases. I ran Longwalks 2.0 on IG for 11 months after Longwalks app shut down. The only thing I did was hit the like button a little too much early on, which earned me account restrictions that I didn't repeat. I just posted a family friendly community daily prompt & a related meme. I never showed my face, didn't let fake instahoes follow the page & didn't make money for anyone, & for that I suspect I was suspended & removed. And I'm better off.

@treedpea@mastodontti.fi @pixelfed@mastodon.social Yes, these are a few original prompts I posted, for what it's worth.
