Something in windows was causing it to be impossible to run docker containers with ease without needing to mess with some virtualization setting in some deep hidden windows settings paanel

Allowing jail time for movie piracy but none for institutional bank fraud or corporate tax dodging shows what a societies priorities are

Girls judge you harsher if they see that green bubble

If they were pissing on the lawn sure, tough on them. But they weren’t. They were sitting on the lawn. That they paid to sit on? This is a strawman argument

I think it’s great that kids are finding ways to avoid debt traps but I worry when colleges become places only accessible to rich people. One of the best indicators for supporting Trump was lack of a college degree. I worry that the inability to be able to be educated just to become educated will lead to populations easier to seduce into facism

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

I think maybe it isn’t the social media itself but the fact that we are letting impressionable kids be exposed to multi billion dollar recommendation algos that are designed to exploit human psychology for engagement metrics that get boosted whenever people feel inflamed or ashamed. I feel like we are going to look back in 20 years and see this paradigm as bad as letting cigarettes advertise to kids

Absolutely fucking Insane. Don’t ever go to Texas the cops put people in boxes forever.

No it won’t. This is 1 of many lemmy gaming related communities. Living proof gaming communities don’t need TikTok to thrive

This is actually pretty nice then especially since the figures report the biggest increase occurs in the 25th percentile.

I am curious to see how this stacks up compared to historical periods

How does this purchasing power increase compare with rent increases and price of groceries and gas?

Ehh it’s not really that bad if you’ve already met in person, more an issue if you’re trying to meet someone off tinder

Blue bubble discrimination is real

I wanted to have an easier time when talking to girls and honestly I think it helped a bit

Depends, cheaper for kids, for adults usually around the price of a nicer rock climbing gym or like a premium ish gym (cheaper than someplace like equinox, pricier than somewhere like crunch)

Tournaments super pricy but optional

Equipment is dumb expensive but most places will let u rent or borrow and you need to use shitty equipment anyways till u know what u like. Then u usually get it piece by piece. But once u get it, it’ll last ur entire life unless ur like an athlete lol.

It’s solo equipment only usually so u don’t need to worry about things like organizing a pitch or getting nets and goals and whatever, everyone brings their own stuff and the gym provides whatever else would be needed

And fencing gyms are rather social environments, nothing like trying to stab someone with a blunt foil to make a friend

Fencing.

Something about being 1v1 with an opponent and facing them in the closest sport to simulated combat other than a martial art just causes me to immediately hyperfocus during a bout. Probably the only time I’ve ever felt that ADHD is a strength.

Also in fencing being skinny is a super duper great advantage.

It’s fucking exhausting tho, a 2 minute bout will absolutely wipe u out at first, both muscularly and cardiovascularly.

You’ll be incentivized to lift and do sprints to improve your technique.

Practicing parries and ripostes is also anything but boring, with each repetition you really feel the intricacy of each motion and it’s never ever boring since you can just imagine your doing it against an opponent

May we all learn from his mistakes and heed his call for better empathetic communication in our daily interactions.
