  • If I didn’t spend my money as a kid it might be called upon.

    My friend's family was like that growing up. Use it or lose it. From what I can tell he had a hard time growing out of it, but seems to be doing better now. He was already used to being poor, but raising his own family was a new level of awareness and probably his "lightbulb moment". Finding a decent job certainly helped, too.

  • Struggling taught me the value of saving. I was still in highschool and working for minimum wage when I moved out on my own, and that was when I stopped wasting money. I was more concerned with securing my next meal. Experiencing it at that age absolutely influenced my habits into adulthood, to the point I agree about calling it a personal success - that is to say I'm still poor, but nowhere near as screwed as I would be if I had to learn that lesson today.

  • Saved money from my first jobs. I mostly spent it on CDs which are nice to have a collection of, but kinda useless to me now. Ultimately it doesn't make much difference because it wasn't a lot of money in the grand scheme, but if I had invested it early it could have maybe made my life better now.

  • They have survived just fine without outside help, and acted hostile towards most attempts from outsiders to do so. They don't need or want our help. They don't need our technology.

    Visiting North Sentinel Island is prohibited by the Indian government. Idiots still do it anyways and usually end up killed.

    Leave them alone. They are living their best lives already. No need to interfere. No need to drag them into the misery of the modern world.

  • You may be surprised to learn that women can have interests besides house fix up and makeup. Men can also be interested in those channels. Why not specify that you don't want those types of recommendations, rather than ignoring answers from women entirely?

  • Half a Million Spotify Users Are Unknowingly Grooving to an AI-Generated Band

    Jump

  • Spotify became profitable for a full year for the first time in Q4 2024. I think it's no coincidence. That plus jacking their prices by 25%, and implementing barriers for payout that affect smaller artists (<1k monthly listeners) under the guise of "weeding out AI spam", they know exactly what they're doing.

    This band is all over playlists including Spotify's own, and tons of movie soundtrack playlists for some reason (even older movies like Garden State). Lots of these playlists are by Spotify users Lost Records and KULTPOP! which seem to be nobodies who happen to be successful playlist curators. Sus.

    Right now The Velvet Sundown has 750k monthly listeners. It's questionable how many of those are real listeners and how many are just bots meant to boost the appearance of their popularity. Spotify has not given a reason to trust that they wouldn't boost an AI band to help their bottom line.

    Spotify will kill music for profit. No surprise there.

  • Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)...

  • So this is what I’ve been doing, but I always end up spending hours configuring the emulators, the shaders, everything… and then not playing that much! That’s why I was talking about the “plug and play” nature of game consoles (even though it’s less true now that you have to create an account and stuff like that).

    Simple solution: don't do that. Are you trying to game with your family, or force them to watch you tinker? I've encountered ONE game where I had to adjust a setting in the emulator to make it playable. And occasionally adjust input mapping when it gets wonky or doesn't handle the way I want, usually N64 emulation because of those pesky C buttons. Never had a problem with Steam games using an Xbox controller or third party controller (8BitDo Ultimate 2C with hall effect sticks and triggers, $30). They are plug and play.

    As for PC games, I never have the proper hardware to play in good conditions.

    Well, not yet you haven't. But you're prepared to drop $700 on a Switch 2? And $100 per game? You can get a laptop or pre-built PC for the same or less that's capable of playing most games. Some newer games with intense graphics will have high demands for specs, you might have to turn down graphics quality for those, but there are thousands of games that can run on a bare minimum consumer-grade computer.

    Again, the “plug and play” nature of game consoles is appealing. A game you buy for a given console is working fine out of the box.

    Every one of my Steam games is working fine out of the box. You said you like to tinker, but you also don't want to tinker. Wouldn't you prefer to have the option? Besides that, PC gaming is virtually plug and play. Install Steam. Plug in a controller. Plug HDMI into the TV. Same number of steps to connect the Switch 2 to a TV.

    I really think you should do more research on PC gaming before writing it off, and especially before giving Nintendo more money.
