^ this is what reddit pollution looks like

I think that might be a part of it, but also it is also kind of the equivalent of the guy in the 1980s and 1990s with a boombox making you listen to music on the metro, or in the 2000's/2010s making you listen to his music from his cellphone/bluetooth speaker.. but now its like every single person is cabable of doing this..

My roommates 35 year old brother from russia stayed on our couch for a few months(escaping the draft) and didn't have a laptop, just his iphone.. He would just spend hours watching tiktok with that annoying bro-step/ableton core tik tok crap on his iphone speakers.. completely unphased by it... eventually I got used to hearing it in the background as well. The guy has headphones but this is something that seems to be normalizing. I see this on the bus and train as well

>remixes, something that YouTube long ago forgot about

you have to be joking.. Everytime I see a song I like I search for it, can often find all the remixes official / unofficial, extended mix, and instrumental (official or amateurs using cross filtering techniques.)

Also Sea Shanties are on youtube as well, maybe moreso, and easier to find and save to a playlist..

I hate the new youtube UX decisions and limitations but it still blows tiktok completely out of the water(spotify too(spotify is for normies))

>going out to eat by myself, getting a table for one, just feels pathetic

I do this all the time, movies as well. Never had a spouse, I don't see anything wrong with it. I think you should try it, even if it makes you feel pathetic. You need to learn to live by yourself for a while maybe

neat idea but the project is like 10 years old, and last commit was 3+ years ago and only works on java edition. would like to see something like this, but for other city builders like Caesar

this one exception is pretty nice, but not realistic or common

this is really disappointing

love all Ross videos, Ross gaming dungeon is the first video game reviewer I had patience for

1.5 episodes

I like watching all this garbage sometimes so I am not putting anyone down without putting myself down but it is what it is and the latest Dune movie might as well been a star wars or marvel movie, and that was the point when they watered down the smart parts, cleaned the politically dubious parts/swapped characters for representation, and added all the CGI summersault action

Why don't you just download music? like an mp3? and put it on your phone? you can easily rip tracks off any source (youtube), I never understood why or how spotify became the choice

No, it was about superhuman mutants with powers fighting each other and it is for 7-13 year boys.

> It's smart and subtle and insanely entertaining

I disagree, I feel like its the same as all the rest but the writers in the board meetings are like.. We need to make Star Wars for 25-40 year old men to feel like adults watching it.

> slow burn

planned that way not because it is a slow burn high pay off scenario. But because it is planned to drag on so you just keep watching it consistently. Most of these garbage shows in the last 5 years or so have embraced this 'pseudo-slowburn' style to make baby men feel more sophisticated while hooking them into consistently watching.

I feel like the writers and decision makers saw all the funko pop marvel watching 30 year open mouth beard consumers and wanted to 'blow their minds' with 'slowburn' to remind them that consuming childrens movies are actually sophisticated and adult

I live in Israel, and all it takes is a few swipes to switch to palestine tiktok, its pretty wild, I have 'switched side' several times already to see whats up.

example of country specific niche devices for the curious?

>appreciating a step back to a more organic/human sound. Although I must say it's actually a mixture of musicianship, recording techniques, better and fair use of electronics sounds and so on..

its funny, people have been saying this every few years since the 1980s

that is actually not true.On a macro level rich people do that in their own neighborhood. digital nomads, and even expats are barely a drop in the bucket. It is like getting getting worked up about a rat in the kitchen when your whole house is being demolished by a swarm of army ants

'digital nomads' usually stay the whole allotted tourist visa stay, while injecting the local economy with cash the entire time, and not taking up any sort of social resources or government benefits.

anecdotal as an English teacher turned programmer who lived in CDMX 2014-2017 (before large influx of digital nomads and then waves of COVID tourists)

Just totally cringing watching my mexican dj friends in CDMX complain about all the gringo tourists ruining everything in cuauhtemoc/roma norte but then posting instagram stories " hey looking for booking in USA/Germany/etc for November or December, also subletting my apartment" (also posting it in English).. It's like living in a Beverly Hills mansion and getting angry at the rich Chinese tourists spending money on Rodeo drive for two weeks.

the cringe is the manic style clump paragraphs and unnecessary emotional overshare.. Also you work with a handful of tech employees, im sure the other 3 and a half million people in the country would love you calling them a 3rd world country, which doesn even make sense and not what that term means anyway, esp cringe when gringos are saying it

I disagree, Also Midnight Run Club series had similar system before, and had better music, also why do reddit people keep writing 'literally' all the time?

>complex system

very simple system to prevent repeats and inject slugs, and all the sequels(and GTA 3 + vice, had that system.. Did you play all those games?

Did you play Midnight Club Series? by rockstar also?

Taste wise I prefer the music in GTA4 and Vice City to San Andreas

> I’m American and I’m thinking about this third world country (please, this is how they refer to themselves - not as a developing nation, so just hard stop right there)

ps no lo basurees asi gringo, da?

> I try and try as someone who grew up as the only white kid in my area in Chicago, dirt poor, to understand how, in my opinion, we as the United States, and therefore the world, are going backwards.

puro cringe

>And then Rage Against the Machine's sound in the GTA San Andreas soundtrack changed everything again.

GTA had radio stations even in the first isometric one and the three (or more?) after that, before San Andreas

> literally the best thing to ever happen to gaming.

its a nice gimmick but I think it isn't LITERALLY the best thing ever in gaming. lots of games have music, literally.

/tv/ + /lit/ nothing comes close, the insane stuff posted there actually works to keep the space relatively clean from redditors

I recommend, even if people write crazy/terrible stuff, the space is important, part of the full spectrum.

37, almost 38 and no kids, doing what you are describing right now all over the world, and it is absolutely amazing. I think your depression and feeling of everything being overrated is a you thing, and not everyone feels that way. This has been the best decade of my life and I have been poor the whole time, just hustling and making things work how i can with jobs and money and exploring the world and the people

its not just you, I think they could have written an about page that explains what it is more clearly. Seems neat though, maybe could replace my "stickies" app

thank you for this insight.

they did it before! twice!

this is an example of a reddit comment on hacker news, there are many more every day

Israel? I have never ordered food because I knew it would be insane.. Are you telling me ordering wolt is about as cheap as ordering take out?
