I don’t think it’s normal at all. I think it’s probably going to kill me one day because I have no interest in interacting with a system where they’re apparently just making shit up with 1000s of my dollars.

I will simply continue to not use healthcare unless I think I’m actually dying.

They’re already blocking states in the US.

The biggest thing is the updates. If the game can update itself or is no longer getting updates I don’t care about it having a launcher. If I have to go to their website and download a new .exe every time they do an update it is annoying. Steam does provide a lot of other QOL features as well though.

This is fucking dumb. I made a better knife than that on the bench grinder in my high school shop class. The teacher watched me do it (and immediately took it away).

A lot of us are dumber than shit. They elected a president who is dumber than shit and he picked a secretary of health who is dumber than shit. I personally ignore everything RFK Jr. says.

The biggest problem for me right now is FreeCADs control scheme is atrocious. Trying to use it to do even basic shit takes forever because it’s not intuitive at all. Even when I pick the option that’s supposed to be closest to Fusion360 (which is what I’m used to). I shouldn’t have to google how to select things because left clicking does nothing. The other stuff I’ve tried so far has been relatively painless but that app pisses me off so bad every time I touch it.

Same, no idea wtf I’m doing with that one.

I’m at 99% of RDR2 for like 2 years now because I can’t be bothered to do the dominoes part of the gambling challenge.

I never got in, and I stopped letting people take pictures of me so they couldn’t put me on there either.

What good is ham radio in a “replace the internet” situation though? Can you send data over it? I read early that you can’t encrypt it. I’m not an expert on the subject but as far as I can tell from reading about it here, it’s not an answer to this topic.

With the way things are going anyone with a moral compass is going to be a “bad actor” before long.

They’re thinking about children all right …

Well… The obvious answer is that they’re pedophiles. Why they would want to telegraph that to everyone I can’t say.

Seems like it. That’s what I do and it is the same for me. But I like it that way.

Reddit is bots. People are on tiktok or Instagram or whatever.

It’s just less busy. So conversations on one topic go on for longer, is that such a bad thing?

Someone check this man’s hard drive.

Gonna be awful hard to organize resistance when the administration decides to cut everyone off from all the centralized means of doing so. The time to set up decentralized mesh networks is now.

There’s degrees to these things. At a certain point they’re severe enough to be considered a problem beyond just “normal human foibles”. I for instance don’t like being outside at home because the HOA I live in doesn’t allow privacy fences and your neighbors for 8 houses in either direction can see into each others back yards. It stresses me out to the point that I avoid it as much as possible and probably makes everyone else think of me as a weirdo (which also stresses me out). Whether that problem falls under autism or ADHD I’m not qualified to say but it’s not normal behavior.
