Yeah, the guilt for not give them enough never left you. I'd like to move on, but even after many years, even after my family added another cat to our family, I still fear for the worst.
I treat these people like those who think the Earth is flat. Ordinary foreigners may not be actively followed by someone nowadays. But things like heavy censorship, starvation in certain recent situations, travelling restrictions, they may never experience them in their own country their whole life. Nor did their parents experienced something far, far worse. Those who live to tell the story maybe lucky or unlucky. They never have to tell those things only privately.
It really puzzles me that many people in this thread that don't know to what degrees an authoritarian country censors their dada, never lived in one, and can't read their language, somehow think giving your personal information to that one is better. Being able to discuss such things is already a privilege. If your bag has to be searched twice a day just to be able to commute, I thought you will at least feel uncomfortable.
The Americans I've met in real-life were quite chill, and reasonable. But on the Internet I too have a feeling that they are expressing stressfulness more. It seems to me they can freely talk about the things they hate, and they do it, to the point many things on the Internet about the US are those. And it's hard to touch grasses in Winter.
I have to admit, you are right. If there is nothing been stuffed into their minds, most people really don't know what to do with themselves, just like Montag's wife from Fahrenheit 451. But there are differences between actively seek something you interested in than going blank and let the algorithms do the job for you. I thought people in Fediserse mostly against the idea of the latter. Otherwise, you will go to Tiktok or something.
I've seen people scrolling on it their whole time on public transportations on materials worse than the worst of TV commercials, like they were in a trance. I know people who using it for at lease an hour every day before bed, and admitting they don't know what they get from it, just boredom. From what I know, it's like brainwashing for people who don't know what to do with their lives.
Back to Grim Dawn after its 1.2 update. I'm glad they integrated most of Grim Internals' functions. I appreciate games like these that really listen to their players.
Still using a 6.5 years old iPhone 7. Can't fine a downside, still runs perfectly well. The only thing that needed a replacement is its battery. I hope it holds for another 4.5 years (with battery replacements).
To save energy, I set my AC at 28℃ in the summer, for a couple of hours in the afternoon.
In the winter if my room temperature wasn't below 8℃ I don't use heating. Otherwise I set it to 12℃.
Apparently I don't understand the very energy consuming 20℃ summers/winters.
My hundreds of Mods works fine on GoG version, including so many that requires skse. It's hard to find a mod or function that I use since Oldrim without it's GoG compatible version nowadays.
