  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

If this is advancement, I want to be a luddite.

The Luddites weren't against technology they was just objecting to their jobs being replaced by machines. Which isn't really an unreasonable opinion.

People who just hate technology for the sake of it are technophobes. The sort of people who proudly announce "I don't do computers" even though apparently they still want to remain employed.

But we seem to use the two terms interchangeably these days.
