I will never be.

I remember she called herself a socialist once, but I never did check if her politics are good or not.

The Martian Gamer was taken.

The new ones have like cross-breeding and wifi connections and decorating your house and stuff though...

It's about a desire for wealth. They see where the money is and want in on it. Also it's relatively low-skill and non-university than most professions. Bryan Quimby on Guys Podcast said like half the class his daughter just graduated in, the ones who weren't going to university or weren't planning to said they wanted to go into real estate. Which makes me think it's not even like they crave it that badly, it's just a backup plan they have because they gave up interest and hope in anything else.

Survivorship Bias, basically. The presentation of data is filtered out by physical circumstances.

No one has ever been "i saw _____ on youtube" and it ever been anything morally good, very occasionally my IRL friend will reference a YT video essay or something, but otherwise it's usually something frivolous (not necessarily bad) or some heinous culture war shit.

Ukraine is bombing Russia near Finnish border | TheFinnishBolshevik

According to Russian and international media, Ukrainian drones have struck against a Russian airfield in Murmansk, at least twice this month. The earliest attack was on September 11. The news first reached most Finnish people when Finnish tabloids reported that Russia blames Finland for this attack. There was never any doubt that the drones were Ukrainian, but some Russian sources (mostly just posts on social media etc.) claimed that Finland or Norway might be the launching area of the Ukrainian drones.

I hate graphics. I hate being able to see the game.

It's too complicated. What the fuck is an Israel.

Some music communities are better for this than others. Metal has a million resources and people from all over the world. You can get like blogs, podcasts, archives of bands, relationship charts, theory books. People (outside of Reddit) will give you a bunch of generally good recommendations.

Meanwhile classical is basically locked behind randomly cruising YouTube, looking for old LP records at higher-end music shops, and music education.

Any sort of folk music has basically nothing unless you specifically live in the place that folk music is from.

I like '80s/'90s synthy new age music and that's got basically nothing outside RYM and whatever Vaporwave artists are sampling, or if it's a side project of someone who became a movie or game music composer.
