  • fancy IRC

    IRC was already “caveman playing with sticks and pebbles” a decade before discord became a thing. It’s really not a good point of comparison and questioning.

    Discord became popular for one simple reason: anyone could make a server, share it with a crossplatform link, and others could then try out that link without installing anything. In other words, it became popular because it literally copied Slack and because the Skype era was atrociously bad customization and ease of use-wise compared to the preceding.

    There’s people who see the world all lowering birth rates and predicting a heavily geriatric global population in 50 years time, and who are already starting the “live life, suicide by 60” death cult mentality. The water wars would just kill even more young people, so I’m afraid this death cult thing is going to be more fact than fiction.

    hating popular thing

    I’m not hating on the movie, learn to read dingleberry.

    I’m hating on people going “we need to support small endeavors” and then going and suggesting the second largest success of the year behind only the most profitable movie of all time. Not that RRR is lagging much behind, but man, at least way less people watched it and at least it isn’t spammed everywhere. Even less watched Inside and literally no one ever says it. Nope, it’s always the same movie.

    The equivalent this year would be someone saying “you guys need to watch Barbie”. Like. We know. Nothing should compel anyone spreading that word some more. Crippling unoriginality trying to put itself on a pedestal deserves being called out.
