There’s always lots of jokes about what a shame it is we don’t have the flying cars people dreamed about in the past but if you ask me things like this not being more ubiquitous is the real shame! This is incredible and I hope we see more in this space soon.
Oh no don’t get that misconstrued many really do believe in the good guy with a gun fantasy and that one day they will have to use it to defend themselves or their family from certain doom.
Surprising to see any suggestions on here for YouTube Premium. I have been lucky enough to be on a family plan for years and it’s honestly great. Sometimes, it’s just easier not to deal with having to hack around things to make them usable.
I long for the day when they are just normal everywhere. Easily one of the best things to come out of the pandemic and those wild toilet paper shortages.
Why not a combination of both? Seems most realistic.
That’s an interesting perspective that I really hadn’t thought about much but you’re totally right. Glad I was always more of a lurker there.
It’s not exactly that I’m buying into it disappearing is a foregone conclusion - just that if something doesn’t happen to proactively protect and improve the system, than yeah, it’s in big trouble in the next decade. And my personal bias puts my main concern on the people who rely on it for disability insurance since they are some of the most vulnerable. Of course I want what I paid into it myself later in life, but at least I can see it helping those close to me for some consolation if it doesn’t.
Agreed. I even have found myself thinking over years that some people in my life would have been better off if they had found religion, though I am not myself religious.
Millennial here and I have a few family members that rely on SSDI so I just like that my contributions support them. I’ll figure things out myself for retirement. But an estimated 7.8 million people rely on SSDI and taking that away from them could very well be death sentences. We have to do better.
Generally curious how many people that have clung to Windows largely due to gaming have made the switch or plan to make the switch now that Valve has done such great work with Proton. I know I am certainly considering it and this is the kind of thing that will expedite that.
That is amazing. Of course straight to the pearl clutching from Fox.
I stayed off of Reddit near totally the first month or so and have been visiting it more again lately and there is a definite drop off in quality all over the place.
We can certainly dream though!
Whether it’s Reddit or the average workplace institutional knowledge is so commonly looked over that I truly (like) to believe that sometime in the next years society will realize how important it is and shift to caring way more about it.
The first time I saw our DM do this years ago I thought it was really clever. Glad it wasn’t just him!
At least they don’t even try to hide how much they are in bed with Russia anymore.
That and more! There’s even a community called “Enough Musk Spam” that ironically enough only posts Musk spam.
You can always tell a disingenuous response with the both sides bullshit.
Reddit is Fun.
They pump it out because it’s what the people at the top of the societal pyramid want. And those are the top are really the ones with all that commercial real estate that’s wasting away.
