“Playing and instrument”, for example, is likely not a tender accoustic guitar in the moonlight. It’s repetitive, monotonic, loud noise, that rarely resembles music most of the time, no matter the instrument.

Same with woodworking, it’s not sculpting a figurine with a knife and a pipe in your mouth. It’s FUCKING LOUD machines, wood dust everywhere (if you’re a hobbyist), every nook of your place becomes wood storage.

Most of the “attractive” hobbies might sound attractive, when you don’t really think about them and go with your first thought (that’s mostly based on depictions in films/tv shows, etc.)

Too much generalisation for my taste.

4 years of “you’ll never believe what we’ve found on twitter” journalism.

UpliftingNews material.

Let me get this straight:

1. Person A makes a social network
2. People flock to it
3. Person A sells the social network to person B
4. Networks does a 180, destroying communitie; people outraged.
5. Same person A makes a social network
6. People flock to it.
7. [surely we can predict what is going to happen here, right?]

Yeah, they’ve implemented this a while ago, this year IIRC. People are on old information bashing Mastodon.

Testes nuts.

Whataboutism is a moron’s contra-argument.

Can you be dumb in private, please?

Internet + deliberate misinformation (lies) = broken democracy.

What? They are trying to get rid of people with ad-blockers, not random by-passers that view 5/5 ads.

You can pretend the “test” is a huge success, just like I pretend that my programs crash because they’re still in “beta”.

Full self driving next year™

Same, but the exact opposite. [insert out-of-ass numbers here]

Man, am I glad these video formats exist. When you have ADHD, reading is agony. Any information I need, I look up whether there’s a video about it. Reading is the last resort.

You sound like you’d pay someone “with exposure” for their work.

This aesthetic minimalism and there’s minimalism as lifestyle philosophy. Those two are not related and often contradict each other.

There are more small phones than big phones. I want an iPad mini-sized phone and there’s virtually 0 options.

I’m not in the conversation. Just saying that this is not a public square and “free speech” (often synonymous to hate speech) might not be tolerated here.

Ironically, the comment you replied to got deleted, so…
