Makes sense, especially in this economy

When I was a kid, there was a phase where everyone was obsessed with red flannel. Went on for like 3 months.
Imagine a pro dominantly black/Latino school in the hood where we’re all dressing up like Al Borland from Home Improvement.

Your welcome! Enjoy your styrofoam cup coffee from a deli that smells of Malboro cigarettes. The sugar has weird moving black things and milk has been left out for 3 days.

I remember HS history was incredibly neutered. It was still America is Heroes. There were small cracks, like Japanese internment camps. Or the Trail of Tears. But they had a single paragraph or two. I remember reading about the Vietnam war and how people “feel” about it.
Only during college did I read about real history. Things like our meddling in the Philippines. Our meddling in South America. Our meddling in Southeast Asia after WW2.
The worse is that the text books are owned by conservatives, so expect even more neutering/white washing.

As I kid, I distinctly remember protesting (two separate decades) to stop the middle east invasion. I remember even when it was announced, it was deeply unpopular.
And here we are again.
- Comment on Anon hates reddit 1 week ago:
The hobby one was the one that hit me the most.
I love a specific hobby. I don’t like to engage much of the community because my opinions go against the hive kind. I also don’t have interest/energy to debate. I also am not that interested in engaging daily. Weekly, sure. Monthly, absolutely. But day after day? I have a life to live.
But Every time I introduce people to it, I have to dial down my excitement. I invest a lot into my hobby and I’m really good at it.
Who controls the Reddit narrative of my hobby? Not people like me.

Pretty sure that is already a Harry Potter character.

The photos of trash all over the street, melting in the hot summer? That’s how you do it.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 1 week ago:
Yeah but before, we could eat BBQ and blow off fireworks and pretend like America is going to fix itself.
Literally nobody I know is doing a cook out.
We have some scheduled on July 12th.

Zop.

Johnathan Blow comes to mind.
Peter Molyneux is still top tier delusional, and has a lot of incredible popcorn material.
I don’t know the drama completely, but the Star Citizen folks. Don’t have any names to rattle off.
- Comment on Dave the Diver director addresses controversial “Best Indie Game” nomination from 2023. “There’s nothing indie about us, we didn’t apply for it” 1 week ago:
I hate that you were down voted but you are absolutely correct.
There’s no agreed definition of indie.
Back when I worked marketing and would attend GDC conferences, there were awards for “Indies” that had 30 people teams financed by major companies, competing against 1-2 people teams who took a loan against their house.
It’s stupid and frustrating.
And now, with Dave the Diver, it’s just highlighting the truth - Its always been a vibe, a aesthetic. You just have to make it look indie, and call it that.
Whatever definition you hold personally doesn’t matter.

- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 5 weeks ago:
I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.
Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.
While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

You’re never too young to have a midlife crisis. Have two or three.
Ham radios are awesome though and that’s less of a midlife crisis hobby, and more of a crisis hobby.

Wait, BDSM is a group event?
I thought it was more like a partner tennis, not community soccer.

30yo kind of have their lives together.
Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.
From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I’m 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people’s accounts.
Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn’t like you, say you sold “Fuck PayPal stickers”, they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.
- Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today 1 month ago:
The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.
They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.
Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.

After the pandemic, Im so done with half this country.

Can confirm. I played thousands of hours of Destiny, Call of Duty, and Halo. I think my KD is like 3.5 with bots, but 0.22 with humans. So aliens, probably in the middle.
Guys I’m ready to be a hero.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 1 month ago:
This is it.
My wife comes home and fires on all cylinders about her day. Then I share how much my one coworker sucks and what they did today.
Then we wonder about the heat death of the universe.
