Aren't phones literally designed to run and be on all the time nowadays? Huh?

Like, yeah, you're using old hardware to run stuff and you presumably stopped using that phone for some reason, so it makes sense not to run vital services off your old phone, but for simple stuff like this it seems neat.

Is saying "not everyone is shitty" toxic positivity? I'm not denying the presence of malicious humans, but the first step to becoming a bad person is believing that everyone else is too.

What's your end goal here - what are you trying to communicate? Just that the world is bad and people should agree with that fact and do nothing?

I don't really mean to say that you can't express your feelings on the Internet or that they aren't valid, but I do just want to kinda poke people who seem to be in this "people are awful" mindset and point out that our psychology and our information ecosystem are all heavily biased towards the negative, but it's not the complete picture.

Hey look at this guy! He's met every human that's ever existed, ignored all the times that humans have been good and caring, and has decided that we're completely cooked!

But for real, I get that misanthropes are "in" right now, but if you look for the helpers, you will generally find them. Most people in the world are not out to cause pain - actively malicious people are rare. We just focus a shit ton of our attention on them.

The male loneliness is that feeling of having the burden of all your relationships in your shoulders, knowing that if you don't go after people people won't ever go after you. And that can be devastating with time.

I don't know if I've ever seen it put so succinctly. Maybe this isn't everything, but it is the root of the feeling for me. I'm constantly reaching out and checking in and it's more rare for the reverse to happen (though it's really important to notice when it does, which is something I'm trying to do more now).

Muppet Marvel could be so good.

If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn't for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It's for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don't have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.

Best bad movie of all time. It's one of a few that are consistently entertaining and never boring. I show it to people at least once a year.

Learning that your government blatantly murdered peaceful protestors has an effect on a population. Along with some minor social distress, that's enough to start a revolution.

Fascists are obsessed with controlling the narrative because they know the truth makes them look like the weak, uncreative, and ineffective.

This is very much just plain mental illness, but if you want to use it to justify being annoyed at all Americans in general, more power to you I guess.

Didn't Juliette grow up down in maintenance? It might have been long enough to develop a slight different accent...

Obviously the team that won had better people who were praying even harder.
