What if there's a pan dimensional being with their hands stuck in the cosmical cylinder trying to grab our universe?

I don't disagree with the last part.

The thing is that either I shield myself whenever it's possible so I don't get annoyed over other people's actions and get to live a reasonable nice day, or I let myself be annoyed by them and don't enjoy my hiking or sitting in the park experience anyway.

Either way I don't really encounter these people unless I'm using public transportation. If I'm on the beach then I sometimes encounter them but then it's chill and I can just find another place.

I don't have this problem because whenever I'm in public I have my headphones on. Even if I'm not listening to anything on them they're still good enough to muffle every other sound blasted by others.

It's easier to adapt myself than it is to educate everyone else I guess.

Yakuza is a very japanese game.

It is has a serious narrative about crime, politics, family issues, corruption and honor. And in the next scene you're spending thousands of dollars (yens?) on a custom toy car to win a slot car championship or building your own go kart and race against other gangster.

Let's just say that this is not too out of the ordinary.

Seems like a nice idea but I'm gonna place a bet here and say that this will be heavily gamefied by those fake Elon Musk streams trying to sell crypto or something similar.

This could also be exploited by those who use info stealers to hijack browser sessions and hype fraudulent streams.

I just wish we could also sort the leaderboard by category. I have no interest in gossip or drama.

Yes... But no.

They don't need to plot anything. We are already consuming oxygen and replacing it with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Or perhaps this was their plan all along??

DUN DUN DUNNN

I think you might be interested on this Wikipedia article: Trepanning

Yeah, this left a bad taste.

At least he revoked this section of the decision a couple hours later.

You're right but IMO that part of the article that you highlighted should be the news, not the "we should make Musk do something".

Musk is a billionaire that thrives on attention so any form of headline that cites his name is playing his game.

Twitter is a company with investors. They should be accountable to what happens in their domain. And not by having their wrist slapped because -- for the nth time -- something bad happened. Media should be saying by now that Twitter is a bad place. Like they did with other social networks before.

I'm not sure if Twitter has "responsibilities" to begin with. It has what we - as a society - give it the legitimacy to have.

I'm not particularly fond on the idea that PC is "superior to console". I just don't own a console because:

  • The games are cheaper
  • It has retro compatibility built in
  • I can justify spending money on parts to my PC because it's also the tool I use to work with.

In the same vein of being played to the death: Pharrell Williams.
