Nothing Was The Same was a good album tho fuck drake sure but the production on that was crisp

Steve from Coronation Street honestly

Sorry for the late reply I missed this message until now. I definitely think the shift in software and to mobile plays a major part, especially when it comes to tech literacy of younger people now in my opinion. I feel like you used to have to learn a decent number of things about computers to accomplish basic tasks prior to smartphone/tablet era.

I think it is equally to do with the consolidation of corporate social media though, combined with the proper explosion of the internet which I guess probably came mid 2010s ? Just used to be less people online really

I was born nearly decade before you and absolutely feel like i grew up on the internet too. It was so different when small blogs and sites dominated stuff and vbulletin or phpbb forum software was the primary way you experienced socializing online. Most of the closest friends in my life now I met initially on niche web forums or chat rooms pre-2010.

Even 2009-2013ish twitter was a completely different experience to what exists now. Its crazy how much the internet has changed even just in the last 5-6 years

Pretty much only wear $25 Casio F91-W, as i have since I was in middle school lol

Always wanted to learn more about watches and get some cool ones, love the idea of Chinese/USSR made designs had never considered that

My strategy has been simply not having any assets or savings

I completely agree, never understood why it irks me but it does

Does it annoy anyone else to see Capital referred to in English as Das Kapital ? I don’t know why this bothers me but it has for a very long time

The oppressive feeling in the US as a foreigner is so spot on. There are plenty of things I appreciate about visiting the states but there’s also stuff that just feels so… off. It always feels like such a weight off my shoulders when I return to Canada

For serious stuff I’m currently rereading Super Imperialism by Michael Hudson cause my brain hates remembering stuff now. Also started a bit of Arab Spring, Libyan Winter by Vijay Prashad.

Also finally gotten back into reading fiction and have polished off about seven Sarah J Maas books in the past couple months, guilty pleasure

Inoreader is really good, been using it for a couple years now and can’t go back

Or corporations that have clear motivation and willingness to maliciously use and sell your data

Arsenal FC is my main team, been prob my biggest passion for my entire life.

Other than that I support the teams from my city in other sports

a reliable classic meme

This show was so fucking good, the theme song goes stupid hard

Russia being effectively thrown out of UEFA while Israel is allowed to participate is the clearest example of their bullshit I can think of, just infuriating. I will be livid if Israel make it to the main tournament

As some other comrades have said I think executive dysfunction is something to look into. If you can get evaluated for ADHD I definitely would try to. I have struggled with extremely similar issues and Covid especially compounded that, but about a year ago I finally got my shit together and got an ADHD diagnosis and medication to treat it. I still have a long, long way to go to achieve the things I want to but I can firmly say I have accomplished more in the past year of my life than in the five previous to that.

Progress is going to be slow and incremental, sometimes nonexistent or outright in reverse but it can be done I think. Hopefully you can access some half decent resources where you are.

I’m cool with this as long as it doesn’t impact the sale of menthol cigarettes in North Dakota

I think you can support Ireland without any concern. Like other commentators have said, its just sports. In the World Cup last year I went to a local pub for the Canada matches and had a great time cheering for the team despite obviously hating 98% of what Canada is all about.

Its fun to have something to enjoy with others in your community if you can, one of the big reasons I like sports.
