>Old reddit is the only "discussion forum" experience you could get on web. Not really. I visit multiple hobby/niche-specific discussion forums daily that are either still running …

Who is "we"? What of the people who are already very comfortable and happy living humble lives without keeping up with the current cutting edge of technology? The person content to…

What do these "dark ages" look like to you?

Europe is guaranteed to "slip into the dark ages" if they don't keep up at exactly the same pace, or faster?

AI will accelerate everything ? Does everything need to be accelerated? If so, why does everything need to move faster?

There is far more to the world than AI.

I never said it's wrong to want life to be better. Life is life. If someone finds enjoyment in a different way or pace of life, that's fine. The world's gonna do what the world's g…

Indie rental shops in many areas did, in fact, have those kinds of fees.

Every era can be romanticized, and every era has its downsides. Just today, I could ramble on about the ever-increasing costs of streaming services as they reduce their available c…

FWIW, I'm picking up a very aggressive tone from the majority of your responses here. I'm not at all justifying the personal attacks, but I would posit that the tone perhaps invite…

I'm a parent in my 30's. Call me up anytime, for whatever. Always down to chat!

You don't go into a marriage assuming you'll get divorced. You assume you won't, hope for the best, work not to, and then it happens. You work through those problems with the child…
