eeeeeh i found that to be really quite amazingly boring, you literally just queue some actions and wait for hours…

it’s even worse when you factor in the opportunity cost of spending 4 hours every day doing nothing but drive, that’s time you could be spending earning more money instead!


yeah it’s kind of insane that people still get haircuts, let alone that so many barbershops exist. People complain about cost of living and not affording food and then blow 80 bucks on getting someone to cut their hair…


it’s like they’re doing everything they can to make the sabotaging of datacenters as appealing as possible, next step is to label every datacenter with the value of the components inside.


yeah right sorry, i forgot there are no ways to hide traffic or limit what’s accessible, it’s just fundamentally impossible 😔


i really hope reticulum could enable easy wifi meshing, that should be rather revolutionary. Imagine people in apartment buildings being able to share their unused wired bandwidth!


I checked the places near me and yeah a normal-ass haircut STARTS at $50, many places get very close to literally charging 80 bucks for a standard haircut.
$30 bucks maybe gets you a children’s haircut, here. Maybe.


so here’s my “no stupid questions”: How on god’s green earth could you possibly afford tipping a barber 20%? Are american barbers dirt cheap or do you just actually consider it perfectly reasonable to pay closer to 100 bucks for someone to trim your hair?

i mean… okay then, step up and stretch your arms out while i get the hammer and nails…


i really do think this is something that should be brought up more, whatever ones opinion on AI there at least needs to be some things that don’t immediately jump on the bandwagon, as a fallback and control group.
like, fuck, imagine if our earliest ancestors had found some funny looking red mushrooms with white spots and all had a taste at once, our species would have gone extinct!


eh, i don’t think things’ll have time to regress that far before the pendulum swings back, plus it’s only getting easier to set up your own connections over long distances.
What i can see disappearing are things like youtube and global multiplayer gaming, because that’s just so incredibly data-heavy. But lightweight stuff like sane websites, forums, chats… that’s quite feasible on something like a globally interconnected mesh. At worst you’ll have to wait a bit for things to load, but like… we would probably benefit from that…


honestly i’ve been slowly working towards that kinda lifestyle for a few years now and i kinda hope the “internet” fucking dies so i’m free to go all the way, it just seems like what things should be like if our recent development wasn’t so directed by corporate interests or just happened more slowly.
Old-timey life was really quite a lot better in many ways, like we’re just not evolved to constantly read about every single horrible event that happens to any human, and we need to be a little bit bored sometimes.
But also smartphones are fucking awesome and i like being able to call emergency services if i’ve fallen and i can’t get up, which even the actual amish recognize.
Also the aesthetics/vibes of judicious mixing of technological eras is fucking impeccable, i want the countryside to look like Hobbiton, small towns like 18th century sweden, cities to look like 1920’s new york with everything VIOLENTLY art deco, and all of it connected with trams and trains that look like metal caterpillars and where 30-minute departure frequency is seen as bordering on not even having service.


hope for the best, prepare to go amish


how the fuck is anyone taking these discussions seriously lmao


mayhaps even use it as a motivation to improve 👉👈
are you addicted to eating tasty food? To drinking beverages other than water?
Talking about addiction is incredibly difficult because a significant amount of the global population is genuinely physically and i think psychologically dependent on caffeine for basic everyday functioning, but no one wants to fucking admit it.
The reality is that “”“drugs”“” is kind of a made up concept to scare people, like how “”“weeds”“” are just whatever plant someone considers unwanted. There’s no hard line between a “”“drug”“” and medicine, and what one person considers a drug might be something another person considers as normal as using perfume.
Alcohol, for example, is quite addictive and directly leads to a horrifying number of deaths and lifetimes of suffering; yet barely anyone considers it a drug. We’ve tried banning alcohol consumption, and the results of that are why i think the concept of “”“drugs”“” is low-key evil.
It’s not made specifically for android but it seems to work well enough if you just play in horizontal view:

You can use the Mitch app to download the web version of the game and run it offline
It’s honestly one of the best games i’ve ever played, just by sheer dint of how well the gameplay is designed. It’s such a great way to add flavour to a text-based game!
