  • Are you talking about phonk maybe? This is a super common trope in the genre for sure.

    While writing this comment I looked up Brazilian funk and realized that Brazilian funk is actually an offshoot genre of phonk, neat.

  • I code one feature for my job in a sprint and it becomes a value generator for a decade, making the companies hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

    Software developers create value out of thin air for companies, value that management and leadership is unable to generate.

  • Data hoarders (generally) don't keep stuff to not share it, they keep it because shit disappears from the Internet all the time. Videos get removed from YouTube, websites go down, etc.

    A large overarching idealogy of 'data hoarding' is self responsibility of archiving the internet.

  • You could drive from New York to la in a model three with about twelve 30 minute stops. Given that it's a multi day drive, you can even fold a charge or two into overnight parking. While that is more than a gas car, it's not horrible.

    New York to Miami is about six stops. I would have to stop around the same amount of times in my relatively fuel efficient ice (30 mpg), though (some) of the stops would be significantly shorter.

  • But live/real time text communication with relatively informal conversations is new.

    Going back 100 years, if you were writing text to have a conversation you were likely sending a letter, this asynchronous communication method means that you were putting more time and effort into each message as it was a lot of effort to get the message to another person (even if that is just hand delivering it to your neighbor)

    You also weren't expecting immediate responses. The expectation is that a decent amount of time is going to pass before the next phase of the conversation.

    Instant messaging is basically brand new as far as the history of written language goes. So with it comes new paradigms in discussion.

    Emojis offer a great way to express emotions that succinctly convey a lot of information. Great for back and forth conversations.

    Being able to react to a message with 👍 is awesome and really not much different from all of the other initialisms that have been developed on the Internet over the years.

  • So frustrating when a subtitle ad pops up spoiling that a movie is ending.

    Something dramatic happening on screen and then "you can advertise on opensubtitles" appears on the bottom letting you know that there is 10 seconds left and spoiling any tension or drama in the scene.
