Tik Tok. It's just vine but no one is funny. How many videos of people just driving their cars with some nonsense text overlaid, like, how many hundreds of that are needed? How are you going to stand out? It's just a way for the uncreative to take part in creativity. Which they aren't.

Blockchain. I've always seen it as a solution looking g for a problem. And I'm a 12+ experienced software developer now.
The only real use for the block chain is tracking stocks to prevent illegal shortselling.
So it will never ever ever get used for that purpose.
Obligatory fuck citadel.

Balatro.
Almost every single mention of it I see online makes it sound like the most freaking addictive drug. Any of you seen that Star Trek TNG episode where this weird addictive headset game takes over the Enterprise? Just like that.
It's probably a good game, but all those posts feel really off putting to me.
I don't like that kind of game. I didn't like Balatro. I'm more into realism and simulation though. I had no idea why all of my favourite sites couldn't stop talking about it. Honestly, I think standards have fallen a lot further than we thought. Again though. I'm surviving until the release of Elder Scrolls 6. Balatro was never really on my radar.
It's a really fun game. People exaggerate the "addictive" aspect because.. you know.. "internet"

Vinyl records.
If you're rejecting online music streaming and wanting music in physical form, CDs look a lot more practical. CDs are smaller, less delicate, and don't physically degrade every time you play them. CD playback hardware needs essentially zero maintenance and is crazy cheap still.
Could it be for nostalgia? But I've seen people younger than peak vinyl get into music on records. They wouldn't have any nostalgia for vinyl.
Is it for the sound quality? But I've seen chiptune albums available on records! It would be truer to the music to load it onto a real Game Boy or something.
I like vinyl for it being big enough to be somewhat like a poster. I'm hoping to eventually gave a vinyl wall when I have my own place
I'm 30 so CDs were well and truly widespread during my formative years so it's not nostalgia for me
I don't have room for any sort of physical media. Yeah, I have some legacy tech I occasionally fuck with, and my sound system parts are from the 70s, 80s, 90s and up, but those parts do their job.

Hyper space. Just no. Existence is chaotic enough without adding uppers into the mix.
HVAC. I feel like it's as much of a game changer as cocaine was to people already forking out lots for pure heroin.
Sounds good, but I'll never see the benefit
Idk man, air conditioning is pretty nice.
...does HVAC have a different meaning to you? I'm struggling to understand how you could have such an opinion about centralized air distribution. Do you look at air vents and start scowling?
what do you mean? AC is absolutely a game-changer compared to no AC.
i dont like heating with hot air, but i get why it happens

Jellyfin vs Plex vs Kodi
People get really into the one they choose and upset when other people make a different choice. But it's not a competition, use whatever makes you happy 🤘
Absolutely do use whatever makes you happy, but that is a false equivalence. Plex just updated their license to allow them to track your content consumption and sell that data to whomever they want...
The last of us games, pretty generic trope filled badly paced story. And just super meh gameplay that feels like you are walking through molasses.
If the show is anything to go by, TLoU is horrifically fascist and nihilistic. The main writer is a zionist with some pretty disgusting views and his politics seep through everything in the show.
Haha I have a TLOU tattoo. Hate the 2nd game though
