Nemo,

Amp What - it’s just fun and weird and useful. I go there are the time for specific characters and emojis.

Nemo,

Eight.

Nemo,

I still have the T-shirt that came with the box set!

It was a weird game, honestly.

I think the other two games in that series (Terranigma) didn’t get official English versions, but there are fanslations if you want to play them.

Nemo,

I cannot stop rocking out to “Hollywood Baby” by 100gecs

Nemo,

No, I came because of:

  • the removal of essential moderation tools
  • the insertion of ads and promoted content
  • the huge data requirements of the official app

So kind of the opposite of censorship. I came because there’s too much low-quality content.

Nemo,

This is /c/fuckcars not r/americabad.

Chicago has three Christkindlmarkets that look just like the above, all accessible by public transit. It’s okay to celebrate what we’re doing right.

Nemo,

Not at all. It’s easy to get away with things even without superpowers. If I don’t do something, it’s because I don’t want to be a person that does that thing.

Nemo,

I think you should explain what you mean, because I’m lacking the context to infer it on my own.

Nemo,

Thanks for explaining, that’s fucking gross. Would have used a different phrase had I known this was out there.

Nemo,

Sometimes it is, yes. It’s no secret that white supremacists, whatever their stances on political or economic issues, will hide their social views behind the label of conservatism. Thankfully, society has started to move past them, and they can rightfully be decried as regressive.

Nemo,

Okay, having read both articles just now, I have serious critiques.

The first fails to either prove it’s thesis or, somehow, understand the ethos of liberalism. Very good write-up of the rise of fascism and its causes, though. Overall not a bad article but unconvincing.

The second conflates capitalism and liberalism and jumps between one and the other nonsensically, making it essentially all noise.

Nemo,

Roman Polanski comes to mind.

Nemo,

Ethics. It touches on every other subject.

Nemo,

I’m not European or from an Atlantic island, so my opinion isn’t worth squat. I’m seeking understanding, not trying to spread my own.

Nemo,

Constantly. Nosce te ipsum.

Nemo,

Because this kind of car-centric bias needs to be opposed.

Nemo,

The Yugoslavian film Underground, if you can find it. Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, with a splash of Magical Realism.

Nemo,

Seconding this. I love earning money and hate spending money; I check my savings a couple times a year and otherwise don’t worry about it.

Nemo,

what

Nemo,

TBF if you change the chemistry of your circuit boards the computer won’t work the same either.

Same with removing stored settings files.

Honestly, probably same after a certain amount of time with the centipede coffin.

Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I’d prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I’d have to order and wait a few days to get…So I’m wondering what some of those things may be for you?

Nemo,

Bull Boxer sneakers

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Nemo,

Read a book!

Nemo,

It’s a vegetarian Scotch egg, basically.

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....
