Reddit is definitely not the final evolution of the internet board. It goes without saying that we can do better. And when a better iteration comes along nobody will even need to ask the Reddit users to switch. And then that thing will eventually be decrowned as well

Oof that’s a challenge, but one can assume they’ve grown quite a bit as a studio and are up to the challenge. I wish them luck!

Imagine being so retarded you inspire someone to make a difference in the world

Idk I kinda wanna try the grippy socks, but the rest of it sounds like a bit of a hassle tbh

Hey man, I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. I can absolutely relate to all of that. The way things are going in the world is certainly making things feel darker than ever.
If these are of any consolation I’d like to share them; they are a few realizations that I’ve come to over time, and that I try to bring myself back to when I start feeling those feelings:
-
I can’t control the world. There are things in motion that I simply won’t be able to affect, set that way long before I ever came along, and that ball will keep rolling long after I’m gone.
-
I’m not a failure for not becoming a millionaire, famous musician, successful executive; for not having the relationship I wanted by this point; or whatever high standards I held my future self to. I know more than that person did, and that person, compared to me, had a very naive outlook on how things will or ought to be.

You are up against the most advanced technologies we have ever created; the most conniving of villains; the world pollutions; the greatest wage gap in human history; inflation is skyrocketing and unemployment is too; we are in a great recession; we are more isolated than at any time in our history. You are not a failure for struggling!
-
I’m going to die one day, but I’m here right now. The ride will end; I don’t need to get off of it early, and I can experience things like awe and wonder while I’m here.
I am not a failure for these things. My only fault was ever thinking that I, the world, my life, should be so perfect; and even then, being wrong is expected of us. We are dreamers. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you are doing so great.

- Comment on Skyblivion, the fan remake of Oblivion in Skyrim's engine, nears completion 4 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong, they are absolutely within their rights, and Skyblivion shouldn’t preclude others from Oblivion projects (especially not the IP holders). But it still rubs me and others the wrong way. Bethesda doesn’t need to do this; they aren’t hurting for cash. It feels petty to jump on the Oblivion remaster train right as this public (free) project is nearing the end of its production. It’s just slimy behaviour from Bethesda IMO, but I will definitely give them kudos for not issuing a cease and desist.

Half right. They are rumors that they’ll be releasing a remaster of Oblivion soon, which is a separate project from TES 6. And yeah, it’s a major dick move.

Man I miss my Sony Ericsson. Phones used to be unique
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 4 weeks ago:
America is an insanely rich country, as are their populus. It’s lost on us here in the West. Through the release of the first iPhone to the mid 2015s I’d wager that most consumers agreed that iPhones were superior to Android by most metrics: they featured more support across the board, had more apps, looked nicer, and were considered the premium. Apple invented the modern smartphone and had a headstart in getting users hooked into their ecosystem. Nowhere was thisnmore pronounced than in the wealthiest country in the world (and Apple’s home country).
That’s a huge generalization but I think it resonantes true to a degree. Also, anecdotally, I remember that all my school computers were Macs when growing up. I’m sure Apple seaped it way into people’s live a variety of ways. As a lifelong Windows user I’ll have a panic attack if you make me print a document on a Mac; I’m sure its the same vice versa lol
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 4 weeks ago:
Three of them in government have done it now. Elon did it a few weeks ago, it was widely condemned, and then two other losers (Steve Bannon and another figure who’s name I don’t know) did it at CPAC in the White House just the other day. You’re being disingenuous by refusing to look into it, claiming its leftist rhetoric before youve even looked for yourseld, but nonetheless engaging in discourse with us about it. Why won’t you at least go look? Then we will have something we can talk about
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 5 weeks ago:
Same with my partner’s American family. They dont believe a word of it. And if we can’t turn the domestic terrorists in our homes back to reality what chance do we stand turning back the country.

Love the disingenous photo of him giving a monologue to imply for the people who can’t read past headlines that he said this as some sort of speech
