Yeah I went 3 months without having a single face to face conversation with someone, it was pretty shit even with online gaming and discord.

I feel like that’s more a problem of whatever specific gyms you are going to. Ones I go to have usually have signs up saying no cameras allowing people to just focus on their own workout. Regardless, the point is that if you want to help people overcome their “the world is against me, no woman wants me” mind set of an incel, there should be more spaces that let people interact with others outside of online algorithm controlled or bot account flooded social media platforms. Places to meet and converse with real people of any gender. All of a sudden they will probably realise that most people are actually nice. Most people don’t generally go around trying to make people feel shit or uncomfortable.

These third spaces don’t have to be exclusively young men lol. In fact it might be better if they aren’t given the specific topic of people we are talking about in this thread. In general an increase in community locations is a good thing, but it seemed especially so for people in the intel rabbit hole. Somewhere casual they can come out of their shells and meet people in the real world!

Yeah and the reason young men are finding it hard to have real life friends and end up on uncle forums is because we lost most of our “third spaces” thanks to them not making money and shutting down or being underfunded or closed if they were publicly owned.

Ontop of this the constant algorithms that push specific topics to people over and over due to it keeping them on the platform and therefore generates income.

It does feel like 75% of this problem could be fixed by stopping corporate greed and fixing our local communities as whole.

Agreed, meant they were backing people up for double the time… However George’s move made me realise perhaps we just need a shortcut, like a joker lap from rally cross but it’s actually quicker not longer, and they are limited to use it once a each only or something.

They only made 25 billion this quarter you see. Those 6000 people’s lives being uprooted so they can make 25.2 billion will be well sacrificed!

Are the game developers and artists wages now being increased by the same percentage though? You are correct overall, especially in places like the UK where wages have been stagnant since like 2008 it feels like. But letting a company off the hook for raises “due to inflation” if they themselves are not raising their workers salaries to meet that inflation is bullshit.

Interesting approach from an institute that banned having anonymous SIM cards!

Guys, as a European, does this only affects servers and hardware built in the US right? Isn’t most of it built in china and owned by US companies? So it’s literally only the US this will affect?

Already decided not to! There would have been 3-4 of us spending 2 weeks and a combined 10-12k euro in total probably (although flights would have been a European airline)…I have no intention of spending my summer holiday in an ICE detention camp!

Ahh thanks, I was actually thinking about this last night! I saw jack and jones is European but didn’t think about Diesel. Already seen I shouldn’t buy a replacement for my timberlands unfortunately but I found a brand called jelly and Hansen that has some similar!

Been using EZmeal for a while. It’s not super feature rich but is good enough!
