Probably because most Americans can’t speak any other language… because our education system is awful… because those in power prefer a stupid populace because they’re easier to control.

Honestly? Not sure. More afraid of missing out than anything else.

No, but I (kinda) get it.

I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt that’s a good thing, as all it’s done is get me in trouble.

Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. “Start a podcast!” they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.

It’s always the workers that suffer, even when things aren’t going horribly wrong. Corporations don’t care about people, they care about money. Making money, saving money, in that order. Employees are just numbers to them.

At least there are ways to block those ads. Sponsorblock is a godsend as well.

Depends. I default to being friendly, but I’m not good at it. I’m a terrible conversationalist, and what is logical to me (from my perspective) often gets misconstrued as being an asshole. It’s never my intention, but I’m awful at reading people too. I just never really took the time to learn how to… people.

DOS. Not sure what version, I was far too young to care. But not so young I couldn’t learn how to operate a command line interface!

Hi, are you me?

I play music at home, sometimes recording it. I have zero interest in monetizing it. The most I’d like to do is collaborate and make music with others.

I also ran a YouTube channel for a few years. Made about twenty cents from that.

…and are being replaced with handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go, among others.

I liked ‘em both.
