Unfortunately, that hasn’t helped North Korea. I sometimes wonder about this myself, but I think It’s unlikely people would attempt to overthrow a brutal government. It requires extremely desperate angry people with absolutely nothing to lose.
I never understood that. Nobody is going to want to work with America again in the future. They proved they can’t be trusted. Seemed pretty short-sighted when they’ll eventually need assistance again in the future
I’m surprised they kept going. I thought they would have stopped a while ago
Animal crossing pocket camp just became buy to play. It’s currently on a reduced price right now, and it’s pretty fun. I enjoy it because it’s played vertically, and now that there’s no micro transactions, I can earn all the items just by playing. It had a 7 year life cycle, so there’s a lot of content to check out.
The gameplay loop is fairly limited, and I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun. But once you get enough items to start decorating things, it makes it fun to spruce to your campsite and personal spaces.
The only game I played that was released this year was the eldin ring dlc. Give me a couple years and I can tell you what the GOTY for 2024 was lol

I always think back to this story and wonder if the same could happen for humans in some way. Maybe one day we’ll figure out a way to fix our societies
I once had to put down a pet goldfish that was dying, and I did it the wrong way, and it was extremely traumatizing. I still feel bad about it and it’s been 8 years.
I could tell it was in pain. Or it certainly seemed like it was suffering. I think we just need to observe animals more.
The only thing I struggle with is how to handle bugs. Especially when they become pests or are a risk of carrying disease. I’m curious if we can figure out a way to navigate that one day.
The LED headlights being put in are blinding. It didn’t used to be like this. A friend recently got a new vehicle that had them straight from the factory. I don’t understand it. Whenever I’m driving at night, I’m constantly getting blinded. It’s weird
I would assume anything posted to the internet is accessible by AI. Nothing is sacred. I’m sure if your voice or face has been posted online, there’s a chance for it to be used by AI in the future.
I guess you’re right. I guess I was thinking better service would equate to more sales /less worry about piracy
Why not just provide better overseas support for anime and manga?
I stopped playing overwatch because I would play healer and then get abusive messages sent my way.
The breaking point was when I got one message demanding me to swap off mercy from one guy, and then a message from another teammate yelling at me for swapping off mercy. It was a really fun game at the time, but only with friends.
In the mid 2000’s you got used to the trash talking pretty quick. I didn’t mind it as a kid. But over time it got tiring. When xbox live introduced parties, we slowly stopped going into public chat. It was around the time the kinect launched when we stopped completely.
There was always somebody playing with it on rather than a mic, and you could hear their whole house. The crying kids, the dog barking, having arguments with their spouse. It was uncomfortable at best.
It’s a shame because I met some of my best friends online. Now, because of time zones and work schedules, I never get to talk to them anymore. They aren’t really the type to keep up a conversation unless you’re actively talking with them daily, so we kinda just drift. Adult life really messed up my life lol.
I can’t tell what I’m looking at, but the tag saying it might be wasps gave me chills lol
He also has mentioned a couple of times that if people voted for him, it would be the last time they would ever need to vote.
I don’t really have much to go off of other than my own experiences, but I don’t think social media caused me more anxiety than normal except for one exception. During the beginning and early years of the pandemic, reddit usage did sometimes cause me more anxiety. Especially when people were hateful/disregarded other people.
Otherwise, the main things that cause me anxiety are a lack of community + a lack of third spaces. Feeling like I have no purpose other than being a cog in a machine/wealth disparity/alienation from my labour. Governments that don’t care for the people they’re supposed to serve. A general feeling of not being able to get ahead in life.
That’s been the major cause of anxiety for me for the past 12 years
I think it really depends on how people are using the internet/ social media. I’m sure we all use it differently, and it might cause more or less anxiety.
Possibly! It’ll happen eventually. I’m in no rush I suppose. I’ve got plenty in my backlog already and not enough time haha
I can’t wait to get a new PC eventually. I’ve been missing out on some exciting mods and PC games the past 5 or 6 years
After playing part of their game Outer Worlds, I’m not surprised. I thought the writing was alright, but the game felt lacking and empty. I was surprised because I’ve only ever heard good things about New Vegas. I haven’t played New Vegas yet but I’m assuming it’s a much better time
I think books were also a target at one point
