Lol like physically burning it down would have affected anything. This is the same simplistic logic as a wall keeping out illegal immigrants

For real tho this is how my immigrant parents think/cope with life and honestly I think it keeps them going pretty effectively

Does Matter matter yet?

That’s definitely the Pensytucky region chiming in

How about you just pay for services then?

Windows 7 with “God Mode” was the most I’ve ever enjoyed the start menu search bar. I miss it so much

I know organized communities often lead to a lot of social issues but they can also do a lot of good. Social support is key to mental healt. Modern lifestyle makes it harder and harder to find that support, or even meet new people after you get to a certain age

Now this is podracing!

You know what would magically appear in 30 seconds tho? A Google images search. Not sure why people need a video when Heimlich posters have been doing the job for decades and are easily found online

I usually take mounted tvs off the mount in hotels to plug in my Chromecast w/Google tv, but this one looks tough!

You sound like Marjorie Taylor Greene lol. Things are nowhere as bad as you are projecting, we are all literally laughing at the Republican party (Republican party included).

If anything, this whole ordeal probably just saved us from going to civil war because it showed the country how dangerous this type of MAGA thinking in just 8 representatives can be.

Roaring 20s are back baby!

I had no idea about any of this, thanks! Never thought a thread about prime video would teach me world geography lol

Anxiety about the future is not an anxiety disorder. If almost 2 out of 3 Gen z has anxious intrusive thoughts so bad that they cannot go to school, work, have any kind of healthy interpersonal relationships, etc then the article would have a point, but I don’t think that’s the case. I have more faith in the next generation than that.

I know things are bad and folks are rightly apprehensive about the future, but that is not an anxiety disorder. Anxious thoughts doesn’t mean you have a disorder, it means you are alive and aware of your surroundings.

Some of this next generation will turn their distress about the future into eustress that motivates them to fix it (as long as they don’t give in to defeatest takes like in this article).

The 90s kid in me yearns for a phone with Fm radio, headphone jack, IR blaster, stylus, memory card slot, slide out keyboard and one of those click on projectors the Motorola phones used to have. I would call it the Donatello and it would be radical.

Bro I see things on my Google photos frame from even 10 weeks ago and am like holy crap I totally forgot we did that. Life is so busy and so often shitty, it really is nice to get reminders that at least every now and then I made a memory that wasn’t so bad. That’s what the photos, even the lamest posed ones, do for me.

Guess who’s going to stop playing 20% for tips now that I don’t have to subsidize a subhuman wage?

Yes, wages need to proportionally keep up with the rate of inflation, otherwise you are literally getting paid less to do the same work every year.

I think by that point ChatGPT would be more like Apollo, keeping the knowledge of humanity. I feel like one of the more corporate AIs will go full HADES, I’m thinking Bard. It will get a mysterious signal from space that switches it’s core protocol from “don’t be evil” to “be evil.”

My mind immediately went to a horizon zero dawn like dystopia where the Mozilla AI is the only thing left protecting humans from various malevolent AIs bent on consuming the human race
