I don’t know, I’ve been using IPv6 pretty much my entire adulthood and luckily with ISPs that support it too. It doesn’t feel complicated or scary at all: I think people just like to complain.
I 100% agree. A loud TV blasting ads all day is extremely upsetting to me, you can literally feel companies groveling and begging for your money; it’s disgusting. “Hurry in!” “These deals won’t last!” then of course the fucking low-level humor that makes you feel even more brain dead. I honestly loathe being anywhere near a TV tuned into stations like that.
I mean, you could just get rid of the ability of the president to veto in the first place and bypass all this nonsense. I’m about to go to sleep for the night so maybe I’m missing something but it feels pointless to me that the executive branch even has that power.
Yeah I’m experiencing the complete opposite here. I remember being able to discuss actual topics and not talking shit every time someone turns their back in the Midwest. I don’t remember the last time I felt I could actually be myself here (California).
Coming from the Midwest I don’t think I ever felt uncomfortable expressing any emotions. I could kind of rattle off whatever I wanted to say without too much thinking.
But having lived in Los Angeles for roughly 10 years now I’m afraid to be open at all. When I first came here I was accused of hacking people’s credit cards twice because here knowing about computers means you’re a hacker. I learned to keep my mouth shut and become a robot; toxic/fake positivity is everywhere here and if you don’t play along then you’re quickly cast aside.
While I did have a Sony MiniDisc player I don’t think I experienced audio that bad, though I’ll say since a lot of my music was pirated MP3 at the time I can’t imagine converting it to ATRAC3 did it any favors.
In the US we’ll do anything but build fiber with the billions we tossed at the telecom industry.
