China afaik is currently doing exactly that, as well as a few companies in the United States. Its not something just as easy as "experimenting yourself" (although, that is a very simplified way to look at it.) This is decades of research, with billions of dollars. Countries like China can socialize some of these aspects, and seems to be doing very well. It still takes time and money, and research. All the while, the current leading companies are still also furthering their own research.

Neither have I. Generally if I want the impression of it being private, it will need to be encrypted and a whole skew of other criteria comes in. Still doesn't change the fact that growing up they were referred to as "PM's" for the first half of my life.
Actually I am not younger, DM's had always been Private Messages to me up until Facebook/MySpace and more people began flocking to the internet.
No, but the entire point of renaming Private Messages to Direct Messages was exclusively so people would have the mindset you do.
You didn't read my comment and it shows.
Generally when you can't remember something, you don't even know you've forgotten it. Do I think this is a lame excuse to ever deadname someone, sure! I am not defending this specific person, however as someone who suffers with similar issues, its infuriating to hear "Well if you cant remember, just Google it!". Like, you need to understand they don't realize they've even forgotten, and its will make you feel like shit to realize you've yet again forgotten something. (And may even feel gaslit if in some circumstances.)
Youre constantly forcing your trunk closed? That doesn't sound normal to me actually, and sounds like the opposite of what I would want. Hello, groceries, important things, stuff I don't want stolen so goes in the trunk?
Thats my favorite part. Used to be my goto for fast food!
Youre completely right! Yet crypto really doesn't seem like the right answer here either. Using more energy than several nations for an unstable currency is just not something thats gonna take off. Even if we had unlimited energy, crypto will continue to require more and more making it entirely infeasible.
You said your kid uses discord? So you're completely fine with all of their messages being fair share for anyone to view, and you having no say in the matter?
I used this from the article, hopefully I filled in the blanks correctly.

You should be able to get insurance on your tools. I know a few of my locksmith buddies have done this. Keep a well itemized list of your tools.
It really sucks, and I for one don't even do this. If it is a huge worry though, it should be something you can look into.
