  • Why do you need someone or something else to do this work for you?

    Lmao way to turn that on me, good one. I'm literally talking about the people who can't just scroll past or block something without needing to act like it was forced on them. The people who campaign to cancel Netflix over 1 show out of 1000s that they could've just scrolled past. The people who live in an era where you can follow exactly what you want online, and watch and listen to exactly what you want on streaming, but still complain about having the removed aGeNdA shoved down their throats because they're incapable of wiping their asses (or they think it's gay).

    Trust me, I'm not the one with the problem of inserting my business everywhere that I don't belong. I'm not going anywhere near incel forums, or manosphere support groups, or to tell people how fucking stupid their hobbies are. And knowing these people, I'd get banned quickly if I did because they're the biggest pearl clutchers of all. This problem is entirely one sided and caused by certain types of people who are more emboldened than ever these days.

  • Personally I think that this Reddit style is an upgrade design wise. And as far as recognising people goes, I'm using an app that lets you tag users (Summit) and this has gone quite a long way. It's also made the start paying attention to other usernames to an extent, so if I notice that someone often posts content that vibes with me or whatever, I can give them a ⭐ or something.

    What I do miss from the days when forums were dominant is that people stayed in their lanes a little more. A particular forum or board or even thread is for a particular topic, and people who derailed or came along just to insult and shit on everything were dealt with, without this crying about 'free speech'.

    Current day social media has spawned a bunch of people who feel entitled to say whatever they want to whoever they want in any space they want, and cry about blue haired SJWs or something if there's consequences. And they act like the internet used to be this place where forum moderators didn't rule with an iron fist, or like the 'real world' is somewhere that you can behave this way without being punched in the face.

    I just think a lot of problems could be solved if jocks went back to discussing sportsball and cars and stayed in their lanes, instead of considering themselves to be experts on biology and sociology and vaccines. There's a fine line between 'free speech' and letting the inmates run the asylum, and the last 10 years have proven that.

    Basically what I miss from the forum days is that back then, the conspiracy theorist idiots would've probably been banned, and would've stayed in the fringes of society instead of going mainstream.

    What do y'all think is up with Trump glazing Mamdani?

  • Yeah I saw someone say that they're a nurse who deals with dementia patients and that people with dementia are basically putty in the hands of anyone with a vibe of kindness or empathy.

  • What game or platform has the best character creation setting?

    Jump

  • Yeah I was just coming to say as well, the biggest issue with this is mods.

    And in games like Stardew Valley, the other issue is the game seed. If you keep using the same save, a lot of the same 'random' events will occur.

  • To be cliche, probably the Bethesda style character creation, just because you can tweak so much. That's probably the best I've got because my current laptop is a potato and Skyrim is about the most intensive that it can (barely) handle.

    A huge issue I have with it though, is that after all that tweaking and fine tuning of your character, you can't save or load templates. So sometimes I'll spend ages creating a character, start the same and play for a bit, then for whatever reason decide to start again an hour later (regrettable choice, a faulty mod etc.), and now I have to create a character all over again. At that point I just choose basics and hit play.

    This is an annoyance to me in all games with character creation though. Even something simpler like Stardew Valley, especially if you're trying to get the colours just right.

    If you're going to give us the ability to create and fine tune personalized characters, let us save and load them, god damnit.

    Why is there always one?

  • I think it's because everyone expects Germans to know better. And it's pretty sad when it looks like the lesson that was learnt wasn't "subjugation and genocide of a targeted demographic is bad" but instead "criticism of Israel is bad".

    People expect it from magas and religious nutters but not from Germans in 2025.

  • Out of ten, how would you rate your ability to empathize with people with opposing viewpoints?

    Jump

  • Depends on a few things, including the viewpoint in question.

    And my patience at a particular time because I'm not 18 and just discovering the world anymore and a lot of shit is the same old shit, even if it's had a ribbon tied around it.

    Some things that I'm more or less out of patience with are bigotry, right wing conservative conformists and supremacists, and monotheism. But I'm open to discussing most other things.

    I'd be more inclined to 'meet in the middle' politically if 'politics' were about say how taxes should be spent, and not about who should have more or less human rights than who.

  • How crucial do you think it is to understanding "pop culture" stuff, in terms of forming friendships? (As in: Knowledge in Popular Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Books, Songs, Music, Anime, etc...)

  • I think that it can help you find your people. If it's something really mainstream like Breaking Bad or whatever, you might as say "I like icecream". But when it gets to slightly more niche stuff that isn't hogging 90% of the online conversation or airtime on the radio, I think you're more likely to find people with similar interests or views or personalities to you.
