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.
