  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

  • I've been floating the idea of running Matrix on my NAS anyway, so thanks to Discord for finally pissing me off enough to prioritise getting off of the shitty platform.

    is it embarrassing to graduate college at 24?

    Jump

  • Exactly, I had to work through a bunch of stuff, and took 6 years in uni for BA, goal is 3 years. Then I left and worked on myself again, and went back to school for a different field at 26y, graduated at 29. Wife got her BA at 27, masters at 32 and is now working on doctorate.

    There is no one fits all path, guide or schedule for life. Do your best, fuck anyone who would sneer at your huge achievement just because it took a little more time.

  • Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous takes hundreds, for some thousands of hours to complete due to the complexity and sheer scope of it.

  • Tram stop on my commute has projected warning signs to grab phone zombies' attention

    Jump

  • Oh that's Espoo near Sello? I go there often and have noticed the same thing. Tampere also has started projecting red lights as a line on the ground on the crosswalks near tram stops. I think one reason is the snow covering painted signs on the ground as well; the struggle every winter to figure out where there bike lanes are is real :/

    What are your thoughts on mandatory military service?

    Jump

  • Plenty of those around. I hope they find an outlet for that frustration, do some introspection and become the best version of themselves, whatever that looks like. I'm just not interested in being a part of that process.

  • Making a lot of outrageous assumptions here, enough to make me lean towards you either being a bot, or just incredibly ignorant. Either way, I'll have a more pleasant life without you, hopefully you can find some happiness in your life as well. :)

  • Well, that is certainly a takeaway from this. Maybe not the intended or correct one, but certainly a takeaway.

  • Thanks, it was about 20 years ago, and exactly as you said, good riddance.

    Funnily enough, my grandfather who fought in the winter war supported me. Quote: "War is not a place for anyone. It is horrifying."

  • Finland. My own father came very close to disowning me for not going to the army. He did call me colourful slurs for years, before I cut ties.

  • We have it, it sucks. Especially in it's current form, it's discriminatory and archaic. You basically have 4 choices: go to the army, do civil service (pesudo-slave labour essentially), go to jail (usually house arrest) or try to get out of it by faking a mental illness.

    I did civil service, and nobody told me of the stigma that follows not going to the army; especially conservative people will treat you like a second class citizen, a coward, lazy, hippie or a traitor. It's even worse if you decide to protest and go to jail instead of serving. On top of that, there's not a lot of the service places nowadays, it cannot be a for profit company, and has to be "useful to the community" sort of thing. Most people go to schools, unemployment centers or old folk's homes. The work I did for 364 days was in a school, and had nothing to do with my studies or interests, nor did it teach me any skills. I was mostly bored out of my mind.

    Being stuck in the army/service also delays your studies, and can make it harder for some people to continue studying afterwards due to the forced delay in between.

    If you add in how it's incredibly discriminatory, that only males have to do it, it's voluntary for females, and certain religious groups get a free pass, but I can't get a free pass because of my principals or morals. I believe some promising athletes can get a free pass as well, but don't quote me on that.

    Basically, at least in it's current state, it's bad. With some fundamental changes and prioritizing the wishes/principals of the individual, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'm not a fan of my individual choice being ignored with a threat of jailtime. An opt-out model I would be fine with, but I guess that kind of doesn't fit with your questions, as it's not exactly mandatory at that point.

    There's a lot more to be said, but that covers most of my main opinions briefly.

  • What careers did the shittiest people you know personally get into?

  • Sales, finance, middle management and one "prompt engineer".

  • Yes, barely. Kind of odd on FF on mobile, have to long press it, and it shows like the first 100 characters or so. But I did read the screenshot by zooming, so we cool.

    Thank you for taking the time to write an alt text! Wife is an accessibility consultant/expert/researcher, who works mainly with vision impaired people, and she has made me realize how crucial it is. :)

  • Welcome to the club of late diagnosis, got mine + meds in January this year at 34 years old, even though my doctor's notes from my childhood all very clearly pointed to ADHD but my dad doesn't believe in psychology (and didn't want to accept that his kid is "insane" as he put it :D)
