I can understand loneliness increasing as its rare nowadays finding people who adds more to others life than the costs of current relationships.

In a world everyone becomes so tribal, they hate because their tribe hate, they like what their tribes likes, they act the way their tribes want, there is little room for own individuality. You know someone from a tribe, odds are you already knows everyone of their niches. Then, either you belong to their tribes or is against it. So, you have two alternatives: either you gonna hate that perdon, or youre basically reinforcing your own tribes ideals.

If you think this ***of tribalism just a pile of ***, maybe being alone is a way, or establishing relationship to people alike, that are also rare: nowadays, majority of people requires to belong somewhere. They need to feel safe, thus joining any of the available tribes.

But nothing is without cost. Giving up your own individuality to belong to tribe, spending their time hating or endorsing something, or simply being alone can potentially inflict psyxhologocal dmg to many.

No wonder depression and related symptoms are rising everywhere. Im not sure if its something specific to one or other country, but I feel like our world is more toxic than ever
it's because in the 60's and 70's there was a dramatic change to global issues and focus with more wars and protesting bigger causes, and before that point, societies were more community focused and that change started to greatly diminish local concerns and community-based ideals being as forefront for people.

Doomscrolling is a mental addiction just like gambling, vidya, etc. You get exposed to so many different ideas/stimulii/interactions so quickly that normal activities become boring. It's not easy to match that bar of stimulus using day to day activities, and the thought of being able to instantly and effortlessly 'amuse' yourself is too tempting to your subconscious.

You have to treat it like an addiction to overcome it, and that means not engaging with fake stimulii at all. Go a week without it and you'll find yourself more able to enjoy basic things like sitting outside on a nice day or hiking in the woods. You don't need to be a millionaire or even have a lot of excess money to replace your smartphone with healthy habits. A vehicle(or public transport) and a few bucks to cover gas/ticket is good enough unless you live in a total shithole.



Would like to add that reading is also a really good replacement to the internet. As it generally covers more in-depth knowledge than online videos that only exist to generate views.

Sometime ago I made it a rule to finish 1-2 books per week. Idk how long I can keep it going but I've been keeping it going for a few months already.

Once upon a time people on this site recommended "The Mythical Man-Month", the first thing I did after I read the post was running to library for the book, it was a good read.

Well I'm married now and moved, and we've almost got all the utilities setup.

It's a bit surreal, and I'm gonna hafta fight my Dad to take my own dog up there next week, but it's pretty nice all things considered.

King beds are legit, and my wife and I are both tackling the settling in. We've got the living room setup for movies and gaming. We still need to unpack all our kitchen utensils and dishes.

Family is helping a bunch. Her Dad and Mom came up and helped us organize and situate rooms, and then we watched The Phantom Menace on Blu-Ray. It was a nice wholesome little evening.

Negan, this post was for you, bruddah man.

10 years from now when most movie theaters are gone, you will get groups of people nostalgic for going to the cinema and they will open these nostalgic movie theaters where people can pay $150 to go see Harry Potter or Star Wars and wave their broom/lightsaber while eating $30 popcorn and $20 coke. These people who hated going to the cinema in 2024 and played their part in their destruction, will yearn for it 10 years from now and have the rose tinted glasses in full effect about how good it used to be and how social an experience it was.

Prviate servers are the same kind of deal.

The great thing about party leveling was it was very social, before social media was a thing and before you had online friends and places to talk to others on. It was a massive novelty to interact with people from all around the world and talk for hours in a video game. You could actually make real friends you cared about, because it was incredible you met someone from America or Canada and you were open to talk with them for hours and get to know them. It's not special anymore when you force people into a party system, people don't want to talk about nonsense for hours with some random person in a party anymore or want to make a friend cause they already have friends on Discord or whatever they can go talk to.

You can't take something that was good because of the time and your/others mindset of the time, and transport it to 2024 and it feel the same. If you try recreate the party based leveling in 2024 you just get a load of sweaties telling you how to play, talking about mechanics from wiki, and droning on about what gear they want next and what they want to farm in sky. You won't get deep and meaningful conversations about transformers or how the things hanging from the ceiling in CN look like balls.

Old FFXI was good because of the time, not the mechanics of the thing. Private servers can be a short lived novelty, but it's ultimately stupid and depressing cause it's just not going to be the same as it was and ultimately it was crap to play and wasted 90% of your time.

to steal the meme posted before here ages ago



this is what it was, and it was ***. ill take how it is now over that anyday.

Totally agree with Radial, even aside from the culture of the time you can't take back the knowledge everyone has. They are different enough to irritate people who know how it used to be, but not different enough to provide a feeling of exploration or a new challenge. The race to be first on anything is just a matter of how many hours you play, because there's no content that is actually challenging when your most elite players already know the entire game inside and out.

Disney could recreate an old movie called "2 Jedi, 1 Cup" and it would be the best thing for the franchise in forever

So, two episode premiere of the Acolyte. Wow, it's terrible. First action scene was straight out of the Matrix, and the result of the fight was so unbelievably dumb. Boring CGI, poor costuming, the alien Jedi looks like a human with her face painted green. The writing is corny, it's an expensive looking show. But it's not good.
