Not caring about digital privacy.

I always liked the time-based skilling in EVE. You don’t have to grind for skills. I really enjoyed that game for a few years.

Mystery box all the way!

A beer, hopefully.

A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I’d want to be.

Honestly, there are some flavors of pretentious that are just downright interesting. Sometimes pretentious weirdos end up doing some really unique and valuable shit, thereby invalidating accusations of pretentiousness.

Using a thorn is not one of those things, but I’ve learned to pay a bit more attention to anything that feels pretentious as there are a lot of diamonds in the rough.

I’m so glad I didn’t end up in the fucking military. I was in cadets as a kid and while I had a lot of fun it was clearly grooming kids to adapt to and have military life normalized

Fuck. That…

I’m kinda in this boat but I have a soft spot for anime that I grew up with in the 90s and early 2000’s.

There’s also some more recent stuff that’s been generally OK, but I can never keep up with conversations about it because I’m just not in that sphere at all really.

Hit me with some Gen 1 Pokémon, Avatar: TLA or old Ghibli stuff and I’m waxing poetic instantly lol

Exactly!

Politics.

Not interested in the slightest.

Likely inconvenienced a whole flight’s worth of people for a stupid Strava post. This is also bogus because he couldn’t have use GPS for this. The watch’s accelerometer would be the only metric and those are wildly inconsistent on a good day.

Cue the Picard facepalm.

The extra-judicial nature of our society favours the rich. They get away with murder every minute of every day? Why not Luigi?

Extol.

I’ve mentioned this band a few times recently.

As a metal fan, Christian Metal has always rubbed me the wrong way. It was either way too preachy and constantly proselytizing or it was just straight up bad music across the board. Often both.

Metal is founded on rebellion and speaking truth to power, not bowing down and licking a boot (something Nazi fucks forcing their way into metal scenes need to realize and fuck off - you’re not welcome) so I always handwaved away Christian bands on that basis.

Well it turns out Extol is a shining light in that scene. Their lyrics can sometimes dampen the power but the delivery of the vocals usually keeps that at bay and the music is so immense that it doesn’t even matter.

Their album ‘Burial’ is a bona fide ripper of an album. Unique riffing and melodic choices on top of an absolutely killer drummer. Their later albums are excellent too, but nothing in this world sounds like Burial. 10/10 album for me and in my top 3 of all time for sure.

Do not go down those rabbit holes, my friend. It’s not worth it. 😆

Millions? Are AI companions that prevalent?

The humans worth placing your faith in are not the ones calling the shots.

Humanity under capitalism is doomed. The only way we survive is if this AI bubble pops and burns capitalism to the ground with it.

One can hope.

Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don’t cha?

All this “for the kids” shit is directly at the expense of the kids.

I remember the part about the RFID chips in every person being the most shocking part as a kid. Honestly with smartphones and the modern internet, we’re not really that far off from what was speculated on that topic.

The film is over indulgent claptrap but a broken clock is right twice a day or whatever.

No!

Fire BIG. Big fire bad!

Run away!
