I tend to explain stuff to myself to figure out if I think I got it. Sometimes I try explaining stuff on reddit and hope anyone corrects me if I’m wrong. Works great imho.

Punching down? It was intended to be a relatively tame joke about the world have been small for quite a while, and pre-emptively make light of those who would think this “being too easily offended” is a relatively new thing. Im sorry if I failed to communicate this correctly.
Understandable really.
I do miss the time we could joke about something in a faraway land, and by the time it reached them many months later by word of mouth it would have mutated into something more culturally acceptable. We should never have invented the printing press.
Thats always how its been for stories, popular characters get reused by storytellers. The difference in the modern world is that the authors have the final say in who is allowed to milk said character for up to the authors lifetime plus 70 years.
Yeah, it IS cool! Even cooler is learning how language and words has evolved over time. A word you thought you knew might have had completely different meaning a few years or a century ago, and often gives a hint about the culture back then. If I redid my life, I would love to have become a language researcher.
The written word is well and good, but writing and reading didn’t become common among everyone until some figured out how to mass-produce writings. The modern world, easy access to education, and many battles for equality and freedom, they couldn’t have happened without printed books. We can learn about the sagas and myths of countless cultures around the world without being a noble or a monk or a scribe, and without knowing the original language. So… Books. The magic in writing became so much more powerful with books.
I feel that for the rentable e-bikes and e-kick scooters. No need for overcrowded buses or car queues. No need to be afraid my bike is gonna get stolen when i park it. They are everywhere in the city. And is often faster than the bus too.
Just too bad some people cant park them properly, cant follow simple rules, and cant not try to ruin them.
Purely a kids movie, or…?
If its the same type of movie as Mitchell’s vs the machines, its watchable by child-less grownups, imo. But if its in the type of the 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT series, its for kids.
Cool! I learned myself some basic Rust last year, I loved how they do memory management.
Ah. I think theres a lot of people who dont mind doing a single culture. As long as the single culture is THEIR culture only.
But I dont think a single culture is possible with humans. We are trained to spot differences in other humans, and sort people into “us” and “them”.
At least you get feedback. I dont know what I do wrong or right, I’m just ignored. Maybe a gendered thing? I mean I have never heard someone tell a man his low ranking to his face. But also I dont know if I could have handled the amount and kind of feedback I’ve heard you women get. It probably hurts, and I’d probably punch someone eventually.
Some people. People worth staying away from, imho.
What do you mean with a single culture?
So I’ve heard. The latest anti-depressants helped with my will to exercise. Right now I’m trying for at least 6k steps a day and one swimming session a week. It has reversed my weight-trend (and I’ve gone down two notches on my wrist watch as of yesterday). Small victory. Maybe it’ll eventually work better against my brainfog too.
Anything I can learn something new from. Gamedev, web dev, frontend, backend, desktop. I have mostly stayed within the languages c# and typescript.
Brainfog. Difficulty concentrating. No desire to do my own programming projects anymore. And without my anti-depressant I cant even muster the will to read a book, what used to be my favorite pastime. Or even take a walk. What annoy me the most is that these are symptoms of depression, but also what seemingly is the reason I’m depressed!
Oh, and stuck in a rented tiny apartment with a roommate who dont clean. And I no longer have the energy to clean for two. But that at least is solvable, I just need to save up money enough to get my own place.
Ninja. They are so good at hiding that you probably don’t even see it as one of the options.
Impersonal social media like reddit, lemmy, twitter, and mastodon is nice sometimes. We can have a conversation without the conventions, responsibilities, and limitations that comes with real life socializing.
I can decide for myself how long I want to think of a reply. And a reply isn’t even expected, I can choose not to respond if something makes me uncomfortable to talk about. Nor do I have to wait my turn to converse, or be spoken over. I dont have to remember faces or names. Nor remember peoples background or recent events or drama they’ve been involved in. Theres no judgment on age, looks, ability, or gender (unless I disclose it of course). And its possible to fact check stuff while discussing, no need to wait until after to realize someone is trying to misinform.
Imho, all this turns toxic when companies involve “recommended feeds” like they often do.
Same. A solid watch. And lightweight and comfortable. And a style I enjoy. A decent app. Just too bad it ate another smart watch company, before itself got eaten by google, who so far has done nothing with it except slowly killing features. We are truly living in the age of #enshittification.
Once I can pick and choose my body and change it on a whim, and it feels like my body, Im gonna end up staying in VR unhealthily much.
Even with the tech we have today, when I first used VR and selected a body for something like VRChat, I started feeling like the body was my own. You know the “fake hand” experiment? Something like that. But the illusion is quickly destroyed as soon as I touch something or movement dont match up. And the effect gets weaker for each time.
It was such a cool feeling. I want it again.
