It was fun. It was creative. it was free. It was optimistic and people were pretty chill.

Now the internet is all abotu the bottom line. 90% of the traffic/people on it are bots and scams from malicious people trying to make a easy buck by fucking over people.

digital anything was never a thing you owned. it's a thing you lease.

if you want to own things buy physical copies.

no idea what you are on about the phone. I buy moto phones for like $150 unlocked and they are great.

economic growth baby.

Since the 70s. 50 years ago.

Jimmy Carter make a speech about it. Everyone laughed at him and called him a pussy.

So what? Not like there is anything anyone of of us can do about it. And our politicians don't give a F as long as oil companies pay their bills.

the whole point of conservatism is to preserve and reinforce the social order.

it's not progress.

No.

This is about social conformity and giving the public an enemy to hate.

yeah it's kind of gross how 'thirsty' some posters are for spamming content across multiple instances.

it's not just racism. it's classism too.

rich whites love public services that benefit them, but not when poor people get them too.

I pay $120/mo for 150mbps service. I live in Cambridge MA and have only zero choices for ISP other than this one, Comcast.

Yep. They are ordinary businesses now, and must seek every increasing profits via squeezing.

The innovation era of big tech is over. The internet is just another utility over which ads must be pumped.

People forget that cable was ad-free went it first started rolling out.

i wonder what the demo of those households is?

as far as i can tell video games are not popular with wealthier people. most gamer girls i ever met were working class people.

because the stereotype of a gamer is a basement dwelling male nerd who has no social life and zero social skills being disgusting and smelly.

not a nice young lady sitting in her sunny second floor bedroom on her bed playing her switch looking wholesome and happy.

cool. i can say from experience most women I have ever met do not play video games.

hopefully this launches a mech game renaissance.

genre has been dead since early 2000s

animal crossing?

they are including majong and card games. my 75 year old mother plays those on her ipad/pc all day.

she also thinks video games are evil and rot your brain because they are all sex and violence

he's a TED talk basically.

most TED talks are like that. sophisticated sounding gibberish that has no real world merit, but sounds really cool and interesting.

the left isn't unified enough to ever do this.

i'm a progressive leftist type... and half the time i feel alienated from my own politics because so much of it is basically anti-male anti-white hate jerking where i am told that anything i may say is oppressive to those of 'marginalized identities'.

i seriously don't blame young guys for being so hopeless. nobody will give them any positive direction or reinforcement other than charlatans who are looking to exploit them. it's fucking dark.

i'm so glad my wayward 20s were 20 years ago when social media was not a thing. i had to sort out my shit in person with friends, not on the internet with strangers.

but as a 40 something guy now, i can tell you that NOBODY wants me involved in anything anymore. even my own social groups have taken to being like 'we have too many white men, they are bad, we need to attract more people of color and women and trans people because they are special and good by default and white men are bad by default'. it's infuriating and depressing that i'm basically told to f off when I want to contribute to my community.

i should also say i'm working-class, and that is just like... insta banned/hated if that ever comes up from my leftist people. who are typically upper middle class people pretending to be working-class for fun.

men like that drive F250s and 350s, not Colorados
