  • Just for anyone else in the thread: this doesn’t work lmao.

    I used to be depressed and anxious af. Took a break from uni, moved back in with my parents, went to therapy, got better, joined a book club, started hanging out more at social centers and talking to people, got a part-time job as a waiter, started working out and paying attention to my looks… still no gf. You can’t become a successful person by merely going through the motions of what you think a successful person’s life looks like. You can’t cargo cult your way into happiness.



  • Can we stop with this subtle EU propaganda slop? I LIVE in an EU country and I have the exact same problem with modern movies. This has nothing to do with who gets to make the laws, there are only two reasons why everything needs subtitles now:

    • Because of advancements in microphone technologies, actors don’t need to speak as clearly and are getting lazy as a result.
    • Movies producers are assholes who think that everyone has a 50000$ surround sound home theater system and master the movie soundtracks accordingly – which makes explosions and action scenes sound WAY TOO LOUD on normal people sound systems.










  • Unpopular opinion: dead internet is not only real, but GOOD. Once robots get good enough to autonomously sign up for websites and make convincing posts, this will force us humans to go actually outside, make friends, form deep social relationship, and build lasting, resilient communities. Meanwhile on the internet, websites that are willing to allow AI content for money will eventually die out due to lack of actual users. The only remaining websites will be run by individuals and organizations with non-profit motives, and a strict human-only policy with verification based on word-of-mouth / invite system.
