Money doesn't buy happiness. It buys stability, the foundation of happiness.
Pretty easy. Get a big flat slab of solid matter (probably wood, plastic, or metal) and put a handle in the middle.
This is why proper cars are build with their metal parts dipped in protective enamel instead of exposing them raw to the elements like a dumbass.
If this happens I'm becoming a terrorist.
It's in a book. They'll never find out...
It's called Haggis, thank you.
Personally, my theory is that the advent of "hiring algorithms" caused this. The widespread use of AI for weeding out candidates has gone way too far. These softwares are purging resumes of perfectly qualified candidates without the human hiring managers ever knowing about it.
That's why every company right now is bitching that they can't find anyone to hire while every unemployed person I know saying that jobs are impossible to get.
Anecdotally, that's also why you get ghosted by companies instead of rejected. They have no idea you ever applied.
Nat-c's for short.
I'll never understand the eternal hype around "flying cars". Fuckers out here can hardly drive on a 2d road. Now you want to introduce a third axis on them?
I guarantee that if the general public gets their hands on a real "flying car", it'll take about 2 weeks before some drunk idiot commits a mini 9/11.
Having played a lot of NMS and now sinking time into Starfield, these comparisons need to stop. NMS and Starfield are wildly different games.
It's just like when people compare Terraria and Minecraft, or Overwatch and TF2. It's a poor comparison beyond the vague theme of each game.
NMS and Starfield are both set in space, give the player a spaceship, and let the player land on planets. That's where the similarities end.
This is the answer. I'm 26 and most of my peers didn't really use the internet beyond the occasional usage of the school library computers until Apple released the first iPhone. By that time places like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit were up and running.
That's all their experience with the internet is. Polished experiences through dedicated apps on extremely popular platforms. Now those people have had kids and all those kids know is the same thing. It's all apps on phones and tablets.
Lemmy: A) Is too complicated in it's current form for those types of people to effectively understand and use.
B) Lemmy is currently emulating a type of early internet experience that only nostalgic older millennials nerds crave. General users tend to prefer bigger platforms.
I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.
Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.
