I wouldn’t be opposed to very strict regulations for micro transactions tbh. Treat them like gambling and get them as far away from gaming as possible

I’m feeling agoraphobic just browsing through these pictures.

That doesn’t mean we need to discuss it everywhere, all the time. For starters, not everyone is American and wants to see American centric discussions everywhere, and also, not all discussions everywhere need to start revolving around modern politics. Creating apolitical spaces doesn’t mean being an apolitical individual. Just wanting to look for more peaceful alternatives.

I’m perfectly fine with being called worthless if you can’t see the logic behind that, I legitimately don’t give a shit as long as I can get a break from the insane and miserable shit throwing that is online political discourse.

If you like feeling miserable and angry every time you go online, great for you, but I’d much rather have an option not to do that.

Exactly. Just discuss anything else. Whatever. I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to know. I have absolutely no control over whatever happens in most countries, and I only have control over my own votes (if anything). Online discussion and politics always gets insanely toxic and dogmatic.

I’m not even American and I usually don’t care either way, but it’s so annoying. Why can’t we just have apolitical or at least more focused communities online anymore? I would literally join any community that outright banned all political speech for a change nowadays.

No, I don’t think you understand what instantaneous actually means. It literally means instantaneous. Faster than the speed of light (which is actually why teleportation is physically impossible but that’s irrelevant).

Wouldn’t that mostly depend on how long teleportation takes? But if it’s instantaneous, you wouldn’t need to account for inertia to end up literally a couple of feet away from where you are, right?

Then again, music streaming services pretty much removed music piracy from mainstream usage altogether. Obviously people in this sub still pirate music, but it’s so uncommon nowadays, I’m sure many people wouldn’t even know where or how to find it.

0.5% for Weezer, at over 1200 minutes.

Makes sense. If you really want to fight religion with regulation, ban mosques and churches, ban public religious speeches. It still won’t work, but at least it’s consequent with your logic.

But banning hijabs and stuff is probably not going to help anyone.

On the one hand you’re right, but on the other I feel like a lot of stuff has become browser based (like text editors, code editors, even music editors and perhaps video editors someday), all thanks to Web Assembly and how complex a lot of web apps have become.

It feels like people use everyday stuff through apps, and more complex stuff through browsers nowadays. Roles may slowly invert at some point if it keeps going this way.

Ah yeah, I go to concerts pretty often. Radiohead, Green Day, Gorillaz, plenty of local rock, jazz and hip hop bands. But I don’t really count that as “partying” as I usually go for the music first.

No, I get you. I’m sure that’s fun. I mean, I have awesome fun when I go to concerts I like, like Green Day or Gorillaz (yeah, I like old music lol).

But if you don’t do drugs, and you don’t even enjoy electronic music all that much, I don’t really see much point to raves, clubs and that stuff. Especially if most of your friends aren’t into that stuff either.

I’m 25, so nah, not really. I enjoy spending time with my friends, but more like, going to get coffee or playing tabletop games. Maybe playing online games and cursing each other out.

But I can’t remember the last time I went to a bar or a club. I was probably in college. I don’t find much interesting to do when I go to places like that, so I just leave work early and go hang out at my friend’s place with a couple beers, or something. We rarely go out to clubs at all anymore.

Colombia. Solidly placed among the worst countries in the world in terms of work-life balance.

I have a decent job and I don’t work that much, but I’m basically a freelancer, so that’s already pretty different.

I’m relatively young and yeah, I barely ever party. Never did it much as a teen, and I do it even less as an adult in my 20’s. It’s just not all that fun to me.

Obviously Stomping Ground was their most famous album, but I find Hang Ups to be their most fun and creative work. I love this album very much.

I called you Satan, cause when we were skating you would make the metal sign.

Fucking amazing music all around.

I also love 20c Goodbye, Carlita and I Need to Know.

Holy shit. 15-18 hour shifts aren’t uncommon at all where I’m from. No wonder we placed well below Japan on work-life balance statistics.

The fact that there are places where people legitimately only work 8 hours a day is kind of mind blowing, thinking about it.

It’s probably both if we’re being honest. A lot of services definitely don’t want bots. But they also want to take as much of your personal info as possible.
