That’s an odd stance bc at the time it was introduced clippy was almost universally reviled and seen as an example of microsoft taking something that was fine (office 95) and making it objectively worse (office 97 introduced product activation, the stupid paper clip assistant, an arguably dumb UI refresh, and the most hostile part: a new version of the proprietary doc format that wouldn’t render correctly in word 95, forcing people to upgrade)
enshittification wasn’t a concept back then but microsoft certainly lived up to it time and time again
If anything this comic doesn’t make sense because no shit, microsoft started selling your data the nanosecond it became viable to do so. They were always evil. Whereas google at one point literally had a motto of “don’t be evil” in their guidelines or whatever, which fooled a lot of people in the 90s. they famously had to remove because once data collection was becoming obvious it was kind of silly to keep that bit around I suppose
Emotional suppression to look unbothered in front of others is vanity, from a stoic perspective, and it means you didn’t understand anything about stoicism.
Aurelius understood his emotions and even expressed them, as is natural to do, he just advocated that one should have control of them. Equanimity, which is a concept that transcends stoicism.
You are preaching the fucked up “bro” version of stoicism which advocates to “shove down all your emotions and never express them”. This is incorrect, maybe actually read meditations and Epictetus’ Discourses and The Enchiridion instead of disrespecting the philosophy with this misleading bullshit that encourages unhealthy behavior.
