  nothing else matters

  Not agreed. You need something that wicks away moisture as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, analog is more tangible, if you define it in terms of user experience. For me personally, holding an actual paper book and smelling the paper is an entirely different experience than an ebook-reader (although I do love mine). The act of looking up a piece of music in your collection and playing the physical medium on a device feels more satisfying than simply looking up the digital stream.

  However, ‘tangible’ is nice, but ‘intangible’ has its advantages too. I rip my CDs in order to be able to listen to them on my phone (and to have the music in my collection in case the CD breaks). Last time I bought a few CDs, I even got a download linnk for the digital files as well. Neat! Backups are way easier with digital, both on-site and off-site. Finally, the abundance of digital streams makes it easier for me to discover new artists. Digital media have their use cases too. :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Which America are you referring to? North, meso, or south?

  In case you are referring to the United States of, they are losing allies and partners fast. They would have to fight wars on many fronts and that never ends well.

  Furthermore, they are moving towards a civil war, so one of their fronts will be on their own soil.

  Their arrogance and entitlement will prolong the war, but in the end, they’ll lose.

  As others have stated: lose the 60 hour work week. That was insane when you were young and crazier as you get older. In 20 years the only people who remember your effort for your boss, are your children because you were never there for them.

  An advice from my father in law that always stayed with me: if you can, try to find a job far enough to enable you to flip the mental switch from employee to house father and back, but nearby enough to not waste time commuting. He used to need 30 minutes for that. I need a 15 minute bicycle ride.

  Also: long walks, running in the weekends and a few beers every night. Not proud of the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where are you from OP? Right-left is a spectrum. There is nuance. Where I live, polarization is a problem, due to some far right fuckers holding our politics hostage. Any nuance is immediately derided as being ‘far left’.

  There’s contexts for the left-right sperctrum, like social, economic or cultural. To throw in a few crude generalizations: social leftists are for a more equal society for the rich and poor alike with equal chances in terms of education, affordable housing and medical care. Cultural leftists are more open to foreign influences like migrants and niche cultural stuff and economic leftists lean toward a more honest economic structure with more government regulation on big corporations.

  So it is perfectly possible to be culturally / socially left-ish, but economic right-ish.

  I am not a game developer, but I imagine that getting loads of online flak on projects that are not quite finished yet can be very demoralizeng.

  I do develop other stuff and do not do sneak peeks anymore.
