Analog media was better and more fair to artists, and easier to make money off of (why sell an album when people will stream it), and allowed people to become more intelligent and involved music fans. The digitization and non stop consumption of media cheapened it. Not to mention, I’d bet 90% of young Americans have never heard a good home stereo that actually represents how the music is supposed to sound.

And no, I’m not 80 years old!

Things where better when the internet was one spot in your house. Not in your pocket at all times

I will never play a game that needs admin elevation to run, I don’t care how good it allegedly is.

I’ve missed out on playing several games with friends due to this stance. Star Wars: The Old Republic was the first I can remember. Marvel Rivals is the most recent.

First-past-the-post voting should be replaced so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

I posted a comment on Reddit telling about how the word racism really means a person who is a subscriber to the pseudoscience that is race.

Tons of people downvoted me then reddit admins removed the content for harassment, of all things. (None of it made sense to me)

I’m sad that people still think that people are different races, and to not be racist you just have to not put one over or under another, when the crux of the problem is fundamentally that people don’t get that race was made up because long ago dumb people thought that people that looked different were a literal different species but couldn’t prove it so made up the word race as a subcategory in the taxonomic system, but finally scientists realized it’s complete bullshit since it’s impossible to define, total bullshit, wildly inconsistent, and massively harmful… and I’m sad that people there literally couldn’t comprehend that, and got so mad or offended that they censured the information and thought I was arguing against the existence of systemic racism or something that only a dumb piece of shit would misinterpret.

I linked the Wikipedia page for racism which explains all of it, including history and stuff.

I was triggered for like a week trying to figure out what I said wrong, and honestly still kinda bothered.

But, that is what race is: a bigoted idea that different people are different races and shouldn’t/can’t interbreed. And that’s the stupidest bullshit that MOST people don’t understand, and I’ll die on this hill, explaining that we gotta stop all being racists. Yeah, fix the problems like systemic racism, but stop thinking of people with darker or lighter skin as different - they’re just warm weather humans or cold weather humans, the same way buff or skinny humans are. Fuck. We’re all literally just humans, an amazing species, capable of adaptation and survival.

Don’t debate on things we have little to no expertise/personal experience in. [insert really divisive issue here], I am not [this group of people], [other group of people], and don’t have the legal/medical/[insert other relevant thing] background to comment on this issue.

If you ignore those hot issues, you can focus on the important things that matter in life. Like what’s for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Depending on how the next four years go, probably Capitol.

Being neuroatypical isn’t a fashion accessory. Growing up in the 80s and 90s and not being “normal” was marginalising and hard for everyone around. You’re not special or trendy because you self-diagnosed autism using an online questionnaire in 2023, you’re just an unbearable twat and you want to not have to take accountability for your own shitty attitude.

I’m so out of shape right now, it’ll probably be whichever one I try to climb next.

Probably a literal one, I like hillwalking and am clumsy

Metaphorically, it’s guitar tonewoods. If you’ve got a solidbody electric guitar you can make the body out of a goddamn breezeblock and it’ll sound absolutely fine. Whatever difference the body/neck material makes is negligible compared to strings, scale length, pickups, resistors, and amps. Acoustic guitars are another matter, but for solidbody electrics it is 99% delusion and marketing

Motorcycles are the best means to go camping.

When you’re travelling, you are outside. Open the visor, breathe in the pine wood air. Unlike a car where you’re effectively disconnected from your surroundings, you’re much more in them. You can also reach much more secluded places, so you can just go to “that spot” and spend the night there. It’s almost as good as bicycles or hiking in that regard but unlike those two, you can also cover distances, spontaneously deciding to just hit the road for a day and sleep 1000 km further south the next night.

All billionaires are evil people that decide to accumulate wealth instead of distributing the surplus and living off enough to not have to worry about the future. All. Of. Them.

Yes, even Taylor Swift and Gabe Newell. They have enough money that they could set 100m aside, live off that and charge break-even prices for their products so more people could enjoy them or they could charge the same thing and redirect their share of the profits into charities, they choose not to.

Nuclear energy is currently the best way to achieve energetic independence until we find out how to maintain a fusion core running for more than 20 minute.
