  Damn it, I thought it was smart and rushed to comment and the only comment is what I wanted to say. I’m so unoriginal.

  Private jet thriving can’t be a small business.

  Yeah and what’s up with this flat/concave boring shape we give to TVs. We should make them convex and give them a hump so I can move them easily.

  4000k does a good job of being able to see vs not overwhelming your brain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone explain why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s true in gen Z outside US as well. So something like affordability is a problem globally for them.

  Why SAC gig1 before the movie? I’m curious what’s your pov? I mean I love it all, but I think movie set some big tones very well. And the dark gritty nature of the GitS setting the movie explains kuch better.

  Fair enough, My bad.

  I think correct is 90% were killed off. But English is stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you people all bots?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely do notice bots from time to time, but I’d agree with you that it’s still small and bots are not that common, YET.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's easy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel i came from a middle class but relatively well do family, dad had enough so we never had to skip meals or skip new clothes every year. But I also got luckyt young in my age (from age 12 to 17). I regularly interacted with people who were poor, underprivileged and ubdereducated. I saw parents giving their 1 year old some hash just to stop them from crying, I mean what chance that kid has to ever be sober. I saw a grown man who aas extremely happy when I gave away my 3 year old t shirt that i thought i got so bored with. I saw daily labour markets where I’ve seen grown man cry because they didn’t get picked for that day and he doesn’t know how he is going to be feeding his family tonight. I saw how being poor was a trap, I remember I saw this day laborer buy 10ml of oil, 200g of rice, 100g of beans at exorbitant markups (50-70% compared to if he bought standard 1kg packs) . And I was like this man is stupid for not buying bulk and my dad explained, he has to go hungry for a week before he can save up enough to buy bulk and he’d much rather not go hungry.

  Anyway my point being, I am always aware lucky and privileged I am. all parents should make good faith effort to show their kids how people below them in wheel of luck live, and not as a cautionary tale like an exhibit. But put them in situations where they can see the actual good people behind the poor, underprivileged and ubdereducated label. Otherwise kids only know their lifestyle and think that’s normal.

  I too have a tent I bought for 40$, lasted me 8 treks, 36 nights, still going strong. Although I haven’t trekked in 3 years due to life. But the tent is still fine last I checked a year ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm lit deal with it 😎⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well good to see critical thinking alive. No blanket statements, just hey that’s what I felt, not sure it’s reliable, but that’s what I felt.

  I gotta respect that.

  Mentions batman, superman, spiderman, Mr incredible, but it’s not a song about them.

  I love it. You + lag what’s not to love but you look deeper and it sounds like gulag and then you love it even more because despite trying to escape from YouTube for almost a decade in still stuck in the youtube gulag. So I love youlag even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t feel like a shower thought, looks like we’ll organised thought, like shower philosophy maybe. Because ripple effect part is just pure phylosophicla nonsense.

  UK is the worst, US makes sense at least to some degree.

  Gloucestershire - pronounced glostershire Warwick - pronounced warrick And there like hundreds of these weird ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 31 and I scored all 20, assuming last is phone book. Although I only trained in typewriter, never actually sent anyone a letter. Although I did type a contract for my dad so I guess that’s a real use case. All 20 then.

  You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.

  I don’t like it either, just explaining how it’s supposed to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are first person shooters and third person shooters, but what about second person shooters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All games are second person. Because second person is you we don’t mention it because it would be boring, first and second person shooter or second and third person shooter. Don’t have the same ring and wastes words. Technically top down and second person RTS would be long ass genre name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course forming attachment to things that rest of the world might consider mundane is pretty normal and we all do it. Nothing unnatural or out of place for that and totally understandable. I understand sadness over a broken bowl. I worry that breaking of bowl is self inflicted.

  In hindsight, I misunderstood OP’s question. I think I understand and agree with your points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry to say this, and I know it’s unpopular opinion, but there are healthier way to deal with emotions than breaking things. I know in your case it’s perfectly valid and normal response. But in OP’s case whacking things off the shelf, we have a choice not to lat emotions take you there. It’s like an addict saying I can’t help but steal for my hit. Its the same thing I can’t help but whack things when I’m angry.

  Yeah but in expanse it’s implied global government through UN was formed first and then the colonies. So it wasn’t a single country’s colony.
