If you are in a secure job and happy with your position, sure. But for those of us either unemployed or looking to move to another company, this is a pain in the hole. I used to get more messages from recruiters or get invitations for interview.

When EA was good. I lament some of the best gaming companies have been captured by greed.

Even college educated jobs are being off-shored. In my field, some companies are moving to India.

Whether intentional or not, or just progressive improvement on algorithms, youtube thrives by providing a need, and then providing it poorly so you keep your watch time going forever.

It depends. I’m a huge nerd and my YouTube browsing habits are relating to educational videos and long form essays. My news sources on YouTube are also less sensationalist.

On algorithm, I kinda minimise its bs by turning off my watch history. I bookmark my YouTube page to my watch later playlist, so I could chip away at my nearly twenty years of backlog of videos to watch.

Well said. My weekend turns out to be decompression time.

The best example is The Thing. The original film in the 1950s was awkward af. But the 1980s remake by John Carpenter was chef’s kiss. Then they made a remake of a remake and it was meh.

Excuse you, I’m waiting in videogame lobby as we speak while browsing through Lemmy to pass few seconds as I wait for other players to join. Ohhh, there’s the beep. I must play now.

I’m glad I unsubscribed to Netflix.

It’s a joke.

Now, if only you could monetise getting people’s attention…

I remember when I felt invincible, like the world is my oyster. It felt like yesterday. Even though I didn’t achieve everything that I hoped, I’m glad I was raised to just enjoy the journey.

I say we nuke it from orbit then.

Quantum computing will only be useful to a handful of people instead of mass consumer use. Quantum computers are mainly for cybersecurity.

Billionaires will still keep it afloat. They recognise the importance of media for mass indoctrination. Like with investing, they diversify. Even if one asset is not making money, there are profitable assets they could take money from to keep underperforming assets going because the latter has intangible value to the owner. Twatter isn’t even making money for Musk, but that doesn’t matter, it is its intangible value as propaganda which is important for him and other billionaires.

I am seeing more tankie posts recently mocking anyone to the right of them regardless of extreme. Maybe OP is only trying to counter that.

Despite the differences, ideologues from any group say the same thing: “But, but, it wasn’t real [insert favourite ideology]. It has actually never even been tried!”

Yeah, I don’t really care about what the rose-tinted form ought to be, I am more concerned about what it has been in practice. I can’t remember who it was but a Greek philosopher mentioned practising and observing a concept to see if it works in real life or not, or what could be rectified. This is important.

Ben Shapiro: My sister doesn’t have any armpit hair at all.

I’ll go for Mike. Lana is no longer the prime Lana.

You are the one trying to shove American football to everyone despite everyone not being interested 🤣

Aww…feeling insecure that not enough people are playing American football. As if Europeans aren’t big enough to even play rugby. Wait until you play against the bigger Eastern Europeans.
