  • What's something you no longer buy due to intrusive, insidious technology being added into it?

  • For responsible printing that's wonderful.

    At our library I quickly learned that people want to just print entire reams of nonsense, like web pages that were clearly not made for printing and waste entire pages on like one graphic, and then 35 pages of comments because this person didn't know how to select certain pages or use "print preview"

    ...So they pay 10¢ a page. Lol

  • And software, while we're at it. Web plugins included. Basically just Facebook.

    It could've stopped at "Lets people share things with friends and family" but they'll never be satisfied, until even if they have the entire world's money, attention, and data in their clutches.

    What they've done to VR pisses me off to the core.

    It'd be like a trippy episode of Magic Schoolbus. XD

  • I need to try Homarr again, but carefully.

    I think my first experience ended with it causing a massive memory leak because I didn't configure it properly and its error logs got crazy out of control and crashed my server lol. 😂

  • If you had to start today, would start collecting CDs or Vinyls?

  • Half the year in sick days? Is this satire?

    Edit: Maybe I missed a really obvious point somewhere lol.

    I'm part time, but if I don't miss any hours at all the entire year, I "earn" 19 hours of "vacation time" / PTO. There is no "sick time". 😂 Basically a week off per year if I blew it all at once and didn't want to make up the hours somewhere else. The pro strat is just "don't get sick" I guess /s.

  • It sure comes with constant existential angst though.

    "If this was my last day alive, would I seriously wanna be going to work?"

    ..."K, but you gotta plan a little further ahead there, buddy..."

  • Right on. My school's Capoeira mestre is in his 70's. Healthy as a horse, flexible, freaking ripp'd, and has the wisdom and experience to still take anybody down. Needed his hips replaced recent though.

    I can't possibly train that hard. That's what happens when you make a martial art your entire life. But I'm hoping I can at least avoid becoming a shuffling little shrimp-postured man by staying moving and flexible. Lol

  • That's why country clubs and those 55+ walled suburban enclaves are a thing, I guess lol.

  • Missed the college and house, but right there with you.

    We definitely must endeavor to find our path in life, besides that of the "citizen unit" that simply contributes to the economy and population then passes the torch.

  • That about seems like the age you start truly internalizing "Lol all these things they told me were important, aren't. And I don't care lol."

    We have to spend so much time in that state of dissonance, deprogramming ourselves, realizing their best interests are not in ours.

  • My personal theory is that this is kinda like an "echo" in Minority Report.

    Basically, when you're still fresh, everything is new. Brain is like "Write this down! Interesting!"

    But a lot of adult life stops being an adventure. You clock in and out, automatically say "fine thanks, you?" to the thousandth "how's it goin" that year, drive the same route to and from the job, the grocery store, etc...

    The brain has seen this before. The experience isn't novel. It tosses it out with the trash. Why hang on to a million copies of "Went_to_Work_did_stupid_job_had_reheated_chicken.mp4" ? You also are getting crappier sleep, so things don't record as readily to long term storage.

    Heck, I would clock in, hear the stupid "ding" sound, and legit not be sure if I actually just did that or if my brain was recalling the billion other times I've done it, 30 seconds later.

    So anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, the key to a long experienced life might be to keep your brain "guessing" by switching things up, trying things differently, always learning new skills, trying to interact with different kinds of people.

    The endless, rote, routine is a certain kind of hell.

    Anyway, I'm no neurologist or anything, just another frustrated working class, but I think I'm on the money here lol.

  • It's like evolving, just backwards.

  • Yep. Alt-righties / racists are still on the "secret cabal of Jews is why your life has problems" schtick, so if you see "goyim" being thrown around or "You know, ((THEM))" it's usually a dog whistle.

    It'll get used like "sheep" like "eat slop, goy". As if people who aren't anti-Semitic are somehow "sheeple" letting themselves be manipulated.

    That kinda thing started getting used heavily around meme communities like iFunny where you could never be sure if it was being "ironic" or not. (Although I heard the FBI caught various violent racist groups trying to recruit through there).

    It started to break out, unfortunately.
