Considering they don’t pay moderators, I don’t think they do.

My brother, we are in that Renaissance right now. Lethal Company, Palworld, Balatro, Helldivers 2, Pacific Drive, Go Mecha Ball, etc. And we’re only 2 months in, let alone the insane amount of gold in 2023, and upcoming games like Hades 2 in 2024.

Not news. Kids are pressured to buy things their friends have, regardless of medium. Duh.

They’re forced to work 12+ hours a day, every day, if they want to get anywhere. I wonder where the time to find a partner and have children is supposed to come from?

It’s already happening in modernized countries, no need to do anything there. The poorer ones will end up starving as the climate collapses, so that’s basically taken care of too.

Welp.

We are quite certainly in the beginning-ish of WW3.

Hah good username.

Nah, California is pretty great. I’d say it would be the place I’d move to if money weren’t an issue. As long as you can afford it, CA is an amazing place to live with widely varied culture, fantastic weather, and an incredible number of things to explore and experience.

You can find every biome across the state, and you can literally go surfing in the morning, drive up the Pacific Coast Highway and through beautiful, lush valleys, in perfect 72 and sunny weather, on your way to snowboard in the mountains for the afternoon, into a nice chilly overnight at the lodge, and back down the coast the next day, because the weather is perfect again.

That’s just one of the countless things to do in California. You’ll also get clean air, a comprehensive highway system, better public services, a near infinite variety of food, and generally better quality of life than many other places.

CA isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of anywhere else that could ever match it for me.

Yep, and a lot of reddit is thinly veiled shitposts. Some of them are to anger the self righteous redditors who come to PC police anyone who dares speak against the far left zeitgeist. But most importantly, so, so many of them are just for the lols.

Semi-related: I really loved the shitposts where the guy would tell an elaborate story, and end it with his dad beating the shit out of him with jumper cables. Now that’s quality reddit content.

There are many, many, many things posted as fact over the years on reddit that are not only untrue, but dangerous or even deadly in the case of some of the most idiotic advice given. I wish good luck telling them all apart to the poor 3rd world contractors the AI companies use to “train” their stochastic parrots.
