“A day may come when the courage of men fails when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day.” An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down. But it is not this day. This day we fight”

Martin Luther King Jr.

I occasionally drop by Head-Fi

My favorite old school forum is the Silent Hill community at Silent Hill Heaven / silenthillforum

I miss the IMDB forums. Each movie had their own individual forum threads.

''You know what i learned today? I’m not like you."

You can have an Ethan Hawke catharsis marathon.

Training Day, a movie about a rookie cop who gets paired with a corrupt senior on his first day who manipulates him from the beginning. ''I should have been a fireman"

Gattaca. I am not sure if you can call it an absolute ringer, but it does feel all the hard work pays off in the end.

Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.

A game like Hunt Showdown, an extraction based game set in 1895 Louisiana, fighting other hunters on the same map to get to the bounty (a boss that everyone goes after) and extract.

Imagine that game, but set in something like in the Star Wars world, With lightsabers and blasters in dagobah or tattoine, going after a boss like Darth Maul or Yoda, while every other bounty hunter is going for the same target.

Alot of the serious things that people here already mentioned, unable to see a bright future for humanity. Cant afford a house of your own, etc.

But another thing that affects me day to day is Seeing stray cats and dogs on the side of the road. They just make me sad and then i have the urge to help them. And then realizing that i cannot help them all.

Hmm, I can see what you mean. “I just don’t care”

“That’s why cleaners exist right?” “We are giving the cleaners something to do” “This is not my public space”

The sort of thing people would say when you ask why do they do this.

I’ve seen all sorts of people. People who throw rubbish out from their Mercedes sedan. People who throw their plastic containers onto the sidewalk from the motorbike while waiting for the green light.

Funny true story. A colleague of mine was having a smoke with a Japanese guy who was visiting our country on a business trip.

My colleague threw the cigarette butt onto the floor after finishing. The Japanese guy went to pick up the cigarette butt that my colleague threw on the ground, and threw it into the dustbin nearby. My colleague never felt so embarrassed seeing him do that.

That’s why I think it’s education and upbringing.

People who litter. Throw their rubbish out the window of the car. Or who throw rubbish in public, like into drains or sidewalks.

It’s in the mentality, and I say the lack of education is the reason for it.

It’s sad to see the people of my country do this, and to see it with your own eyes.

Thank you 00 and crius for introducing Mullvad. Been looking for a VPN that doesn’t lock you into any subscription plans.

I understand your frustration. I live in a part of the world where the whole country is car centric.

There are parts in my country where without a car, you are basically handicapped from doing anything, as public transport is non existent, and there is no proper infrastructure for public walks.

So you have to buy a car in order to “survive”. To go to work, to go buy groceries, send your children to school etc. To add to that, you have the monthly commitment to pay for your car loans, or car maintenance.

And because there are so many cars on the road, most of the time there isn’t enough parking space in the suburb areas, so people will double park or even triple park.

“If there is no parking space, we will make our own parking space”, as we use to joke among ourselves.

Also, the overall productivity of our country slows down in my opinion, because everyone is stuck in a jam most of the time. For some people it takes them 1 or even 2 hours in extreme cases to go to work, or come home from work.

This is what happens when the government does not plan ahead, and have a clear vision. This should be planned like 20 to 30 years ahead. Instead, it is now too late for my country to implement all this effectively.

I do not play a lot of mobile games, but when i do, it is Marvel Snap.

I also do not usually play card games, but this one is very very easy to learn and pick up, and quite addictive once the flow starts going.

I like to think I’m pretty adventurous (like I love to watch horror movies, etc). But that book is just too much. What are other books gave you that effect?

Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted(a collection of short stories). It made me close my legs and squirm, and feel disgusted. The first story ‘‘Guts’’ made me put down the book and not touch it due to fear of what i am about to read next.

As Wikipedia describes it : It is a tale of violent accidents involving masturbation, in which the reader is instructed to hold their breath in the very first line.

Yeah, reader beware.

I wish i do not have to use Whatsapp. Unfortunately, i have to for business purposes, as i am in part of the world where Whatsapp is the main chat app that everyone uses.

Fortunately i have two phones (personal and business), so Whatsapp is only on the business phone.
