  i don’t think they are polarising. imo, 77% is mid. nothing bad with a “just okay” game. sometimes you just want to play the experience of a new familiar world and this is it.

  with tiktokers though, a mid game has less to talk about and so their narratives make what little or so difference sound like a big deal. sensationalism is where the money is for them.

  i guess a good list of fair and reliable sources would help out here.

  loool, fair point.

  i have read somewhere that a lot of businesses there follows the saying “if it works, don’t fix it”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a sign of immaturity, imo. a “look at me, senpai” move that hurts other people.

  imagine your parent is a johnny somali, a tomi lahren, or a rage-bait cooking mom.

  good decision, imo. sometimes i also get annoyed if the one i am watching becomes too sweaty completionists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  good set of questions while trying to be non biased on certain topics.

  for me, topics about privacy and misinformation matter more than ai. i would like them to lean more on helping me identify ai generated text and deepfakes as far as ai is concerned.

  i also liked that mozilla study about smart cars so more of that is nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i tend to use the pain scale to give me a hint on decisions like this. so i guess the first question to ask before the pain scale is “am i in a state of shock?”

  note: i am not in any medical field nor had intensive training.
