I have in my life met two people who used signal. They did it because I suggested it. They are both senior cybersec folks.

No? There’s a pretty good reason every criminal used telegram. I’ve never seen any attempts at combatting anonymity much less censorship.
Likely TG got unbanned in Russia for cooperating with LEOs there, but while awful, that doesn’t really matter if you’re a westerner, even Ukrainian armed forces used it, and for the average substance enjoyer it was still much safer to use than any Five Eyes app due to its intentional highly decentralised complexity, and unlike Signal it actually works and is pleasant to use. Now they are straight up handing data over to British cops.
No, I have literally never heard of Haveno-reto. Most people back around the shutdown were just saying everyone should use atomic swaps. Thanks for the heads up.
Dream come true. Finally some good news for us substance enjoyers. With localmonero gone and TG selling out to the glowies, it’s good to see not all is lost.

The funko pop star wars nintendo pronoun screamers are to the political right what Alex Jones is to Ronald Reagan
All those people are either masters at making use of little space (if you’ve ever seen electroboom’s set in that one LTT video yk tho he ain’t euro) or they’ve got a much bigger space (e.g. house, maybe even detached) than they’re letting on. There’s a good reason lots of tech YTers are from Texas.
There’s also ofc some folks who just live drowning in garbage from various projects, but you won’t know about them.
The maker spaces, and more specifically in my xp in London - hackspaces are cramped kindergartens
None. Average euros in cities don’t have hobbies, they only consoom.
This. Hell you can generate literally endless wallpapers for free.
Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I’m not super into the whole public thing, but I’ve been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.
Yeah, these movies are the definition of “high concept”, like it’s an interesting premise like Speed has an interesting premise, it’s not meant to be overly complicated or artsy or sophisticated, but at least it’s just a kind of neat blockbuster, rather than more capeshit content.
Tangas don’t have to be wide in the sides, there are many without and I’d honestly find them more comfortable than strings to work out in, but with both the main issue I’d get worried about is anything rubbing or chafing, especially with cardio but I don’t do cardio so YMMV 🤷♀️
I’d say so, but it really depends on the style of the thong you’re comparing to. Some thongs also have less whale taling than others, (they can sit very low).
Why not just get some leggings that ride a bit higher so you don’t have to worry about it? When I’m just casual or going for max comfort or working out I always just wear leggings way high and then cover any tummy bulge unpleasantness with a loose tank top.
Bruh 💀
Because more money buys you more time.
If you got 7 hours and 500 bucks, you’ve got 7 hours.
Why? Because you’ve paid people to take care of all your chores.
If you’ve got 7 hours and 0 bucks, you’ve got 0 hours.
Why? Well you’re taking the bus to the discount grocery store, you’re doing your laundry, cooking your meals, you’re commuting 1.5 hours each way on broken trains to work and pay £20 for the privilege, you’re looking for new jobs because you think you’ll be fired, and then you won’t be able to make rent, you’re doing 1-way AI-led recorded video job interviews and pumping out cover letters and CVs for job applications, yet never heard back, you’re comparing payday loans to pay for heat, you’re listening out for debt collectors, you’re chasing up your GP for that blood test result from 6 months ago you never got, you’re trying to find a cheaper place, you’re doom scrolling your bank account balance, wondering whether you can cut down on something, anything, maybe a thicker jumper to sleep in during the winter.
At the end of the day, you might have a few minutes to kiss your partner, or apologize to a friend you still haven’t got back to for weeks, and not much else.
So yes, most people cannot afford hobbies. The only thing people can risk it on is something that promises lots of money and an escape from misery, and it’s almost always a grift.
Now there’s no such thing as a hobby coder, it confuses the average person that someone could, as an adult, just make an app for them and their friends, as just a fun thing, as art, as expression or project or whatever. I always tell my coworkers I’m studying for qualifications, but I’m really just learning active directory because it’s interesting.
It is only a thing you either grind for to make money through and pay your dues to the tutorial grifter culture promising big bucks selling endless courses on YouTube by people who are suspiciously not themselves employed as software engineers, or you don’t do it at all.
Noooo, 20 years ago was the 80s!! /s
Still considered a child in America at 21 I think so there’s a that
Wild. I’m not American but I don’t think watching movies and shows is an exclusively American thing.
Well, welcome to the world Gen Alpha, it’s a bit shit.
Final Destination? Darn I didn’t know this place had underage people in it.
Either way though check 1, 2 and 3 out, they’re not high brow masterpieces or anything, but decent 2000s blockbusters, especially if you’re someone that goes on or around planes, rollercoasters and subways a lot and makes regular visits to the dentist.
It’s not really about hours alone.
In the UK the average salary (no data on median) in 1980 was ~£6000, but average house price was £23000, or 3.8x the salary. This is during a recession.
In 2024 the median salary is ~£34000, but the average house price in the last 12 months is £299000, or 8.7x the salary.
And that’s just housing. Everything else is more expensive too. And you need more things to participate in society.
The country is FUBAR’d by neoliberalism and austerity policies. The houses that go for millions are barely fit for a dog shed, rotten through and through with mold, filled asbestos, insulation that kills you with gas when it burns, and boy will it burn once the boiler older than the 5 day work week finally explodes.
Almost no young people, few as they may be, have any interest in anything beyond making it to the top 1% and why would they? For them CompSci was a grift, and FOSS is just how you get something in your resume. So maintainers get defensive, and well meaning but less apt coders get discouraged too.
For our generation it doesn’t matter if you know git and vim, or only meth and hopelessness, you live in the slums same as everyone. I’m in the top 20% of earners and I couldn’t really even justify a big mac as a treat nevermind spending time on passions.
Meh who cares. AI is gonna be more correct now. It costs nothing to use (if you run your own locally), and nothing to not use. Just don’t use it if you hate it so much and for the love of god touch grass and get off twitter, that place is hell on earth.
