  • I'm with you there, the lack of boredom-based drive and opportunities, and the constant distracting dopamine drip feed, are real things. At least in the circles I've found myself in, it's been really cool to see so many people picking up on that and making deliberate efforts to avoid over-convenience and constant low effort entertainment. Lots of people ditching smartphones, adopting the "treat the internet as a place you go instead of a constant presence" philosophy, setting up their own websites and homeservers, people getting into more non-digital tools and hobbies, and stuff like that. It's been a great source of hope and optimism for me in these wild times

  • You sound like you're supportive of your friend so good on you for that. That's important for folks who have parents that don't seem to understand their kids and get nasty or stubborn about it instead of trying to learn. Stay strong and keep helping your friend know you like them just the way they are. Sorry their dad is being a goober and that you're being affected by the current nonsense in this country. For what it's worth you and your friend have the support of this internet stranger

  • I don't know man, I'm not a fan of infinite scroll

  • I think we might be in a better place if we didn't stigmatize people for just being content instead of endlessly ambitious

  • I think about this kind of thing often. I feel like we lost something in trying to automate or innovate past simple but essential jobs

  • Much thanks, appreciate all the time and effort you put in

  • I'm just glad to see someone else spell it as "valentimes", highfive

  • Huh, guess I'm trans

  • I must have skipped this day in biology class

  • Heck yeah brother! Not in Nottingham is another good one to play

    I also love that my wife got me a shirt with Skippy brandishing his wooden sword and his quote "DEATH TO TYRANTS!" on it. She's a keeper for sure

  • Yup, that was the one

  • Guy was so legendary he was referenced in Bigtop Burger

    Really though, I remember reading about this in English class (think it was a play based on the trials) and thinking the dude was amazing

  • I enjoyed this game but I didn't love it as much as I see people gushing about it do. It makes me wonder if I might have enjoyed it more not having heard it hyped up all the time. I did manage to completely avoid spoilers so it wasn't that

  • I make it easy, I sit right out in the open by my sign playing songs from subversive pro terrorist media like Disney's Robin Hood

  • Brown sweater kid is the man, get em brother

  • I found out the other day that I had a mumble server still running that I had been tinkering with a year or so ago and just forgot about. Hadn't noticed it was still running this whole time because it's so low in resource usage

  • Left Reeling is an interesting name

  • Return to Pidgin

  • Glad people who like the UI can get it in Matrix too but personally yeah, the Discord UI has never been one I've liked. Way to insist on being fullscreen at all times
