I was having lunch at a restaurant a couple of months back, and overheard two women (~55 y/o) sitting behind me. One of them talked about how she used ChatGPT to decide if her partner was being unreasonable. I think this is only gonna get more normal.

Don't travel to South America then. Seems like the norm to play out loud from your phone there, no matter your age. I once sat at a restaurant in Colombia, where the restaurant was playing loud music, and every other table had someone also playing their own music or TikToks from their phone. I felt like a crazy person being the only one seemingly annoyed by it.

Of course there is. I fucking love the modding community.

You cannot honestly say the addictive pull of social media and games today is the same as it was back then. That's like saying weed and heroin are equally addictive.

This game is already worth every cent in its current state. Can't wait to see what the last polish will bring.

The phones weren't designed to get you addicted to them back then. I am a teacher, and if I had to start every class by convincing all student who didn't put their phones in the phone-locker to do it, then I would have no time left for teaching. I have pivoted to making classroom assignments that students have to complete using their phones instead, and it's working wonders.

Det er unfair at sammenligne indvandrere med den gennemsnitlige dansker og sige "flygtninge har stadig en højere kriminalitetsrate end danskere". Det ville give bedre mening at sammenligne med danskere i samme økonomiske samfundslag, da det er en større faktor ifht. kriminalitet end etnisk baggrund.

I keep giving up on Disco Elysium. What makes it so great in your opinion? Hopefully you can awake the Disco beast in me, because I really want to like it

I feel you. Sorry you had to go through that experience.

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I am usually a huge SciFi fan, but I like the genre for it's ability to reflect on humanity by extrapolating on current technologies/trends or comparing our culture to unique alien ones.

Revelation Space was technobabble and descriptions of weapons for pages upon pages, and it was totally devoid of any philosophy or reflection on humanity. I never DNF a book, but this one I almost gave up on.

Danish libraries provide an online streaming service, where you can watch 2-3 movies a month for free. It's awesome! They even had Everything Everywhere All At Once before any other streaming service here.
