Maybe in the past it’s possible to live forever by renting, but that’s not the case anymore.

I had a boss who got married when he was 40 as well. Same as others, I’m also unmarried and in early 30s, but I don’t feel the need to keep up with the Joneses either. I still have many things to do before I feel the need to settle down. There are plenty of people who marry late and don’t regret it. It’s best to figure out first what you want before jumping the gun, simply for the sake of social conformance and then regret it. I’m sure we know of people regretting marrying early, or stick to an unhappy marriage out of insecurity or for whatever reason.

My concern is that Reddit will still be one of the biggest social media site that hosts multiple valuable resources that had been gathered for nearly 20 years. This reason alone will not dissuade users from leaving. I love AskHistorians, but I doubt they will migrate somewhere, and the treasure trove from the subreddit of knowledge could not be moved elsewhere. Reddit knows this so they will continue with their shenanigans.
- Comment on Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2 1 week ago:
While I understand that I’m giving up “owning” the game, Steam has a good track record of trying to make users happy.
When Gabe Newell dies or leaves the company though, I’ll be watching closely to see who the new CEO will be and figure it out from there.
This is one of the many reasons why I prefer to buy games in Gog, although I have more games on Steam mainly because I got them on bundled deals.
The rule of thumb is that “this is why we can’t have nice things” and all things eventually become enshittified. Enjoy the nice things while they’re there, but always have contingencies.

Assuming you’re in UK or Ireland, most of the world still pays for SMS.

I can’t recall the time that Americans brought the latter pitchforks against politicians for a good cause, because the January 6 insurrection does not count.

Wait until he/she finds out ancient Romans love to draw and talk about penises, and being vulgar about people they detest on their wall writings.
I reckon it was from the Middle Ages and the influence of Christianity that people became more uptight with anything that is seen in public.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad 3 weeks ago:
I don’t see any enshitiffication features and ads in Windows 11 that Lemmy and tech news are reporting. I wonder if it’s because I’m in the EU.

- Comment on World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death 1 month ago:
It’s not even conservatives, there are some doomers who get off being excessively pessimistic. r/collapse used to be hysterical about overpopulation. When I showed them the video of late statisticians Hans Rosling showing trend data of declining fertility rate, thanks to growing wealth of developing countries, and why their fears are unfounded, they just brushed it off. It is in recent years when mainstream news finally started reporting declining fertility rate and the UN project the global population to plateau, r/collapse finally stopped being hysterical on the topic.
- Comment on Elon Tusk 1 month ago:
I used to scoff at people being pessimistic that society is getting worse. But all the material security and safety is mitigated as climate change is getting worse and scientists are not optimistic about the prospects. And the phenomenon is inducing loss of biodiversity and food and migration which causes social tensions. I agree that the current society is much better off than the previous generations but I’m afraid we can’t say the same about the future ones.

I think anyone regardless of gender would appreciate how bent those tiles are. Not caring about this is like a person not caring how Renaissance domes were built. How are those curves able to maintain stability?
- Comment on Protesters Gather Outside OpenAI Headquarters after Policy Against Military Use is Quietly Removed 2 months ago:
The main representative of Turkish and Iraqi Kurds, PKK party, is anarchist by its nature. The automous region of Rojava that sprung up in Northern Syria also profess to be anarchists to align with their Iraqi and Turkish Kurd brethrens.
Anarchy doesn’t mean Mad Max, Fallout or Wild West chaos where it’s lawless. Anarchism could take various forms like libertarian socialism or anarcho-syndicalism. Or communism if it ever actually practiced as per theory. The town of Cheran threw out its police force and mayor for collaborating with drug cartels. They do their own policing and self-governing by electing their own mayor every year and banned political parties as they locals thought such notions only divide communities.

There was no set minimum wage and companies at the time were against increasing it, until Ford set the precedence and the rest followed suit. He was the trend setter.
When you increase minimum wage, there is a sliver of the market that gets shut down: the set of jobs that made sense between the old minimum and the new minimum
Makes sense but…
Those are jobs that people were happy to work, but which they aren’t allowed to any longer. Those people are now out of a job.
Yes, I’m sure people were sad to see their old workplaces shut down who provide poor pay and toxic work environment, instead of moving to better alternatives!

How about increasing wages to promote more consumer spending? Henry Ford-- a literal Nazi-- of all people, knew this!
- Comment on Protesters Gather Outside OpenAI Headquarters after Policy Against Military Use is Quietly Removed 2 months ago:
Not necessarily. There are societies that are horizontal structure and don’t have hard and fast leadership. The early days of humans as hunter gatherers had more or less loose social structures. There are anarchist societies even to this day and the best example is the Kurds.

What I’m saying is that it’s better to move away from any kinds of authority. They’re always susceptible to corruption such as weaponising AI!
I don’t know about you but I want to get away as far as possible from rogue AI, thanks to it being militarised by stoopid hoomans!
- Comment on Protesters Gather Outside OpenAI Headquarters after Policy Against Military Use is Quietly Removed 2 months ago:
Yeah, I feel like at this stage, it’s better to move to another planet where the eventual mass human suicide will be avoided. If you guys have seen The Expanse, you know what I’m talking about in regards to Earthers ruining their own planet.
Now I know why people during the Age of Colonisation move to the New World because of freedom from the old hierarchical structures. I now see the romanticisation of pirate and cowboy cultures.
