I think it's always been this way, but social media has for sure exacerbated it. People really want to believe there's some big order, some grand control, somebody in charge that all makes sense somewhere somehow.
"They" don't want you to know because its all about power and control is weirdly a lot more palatable than "shit just happens".
No. If something is too expensive I simply move on. I get anxious simply conducting commerce in a regular environment, like my desire to buy this thing is an intrusion on the shopkeepers day.
I also refuse to buy from places, usually burger vans, where the prices are so small as to be hidden until you get to the front of the queue. If you're going to say "what do you want" at the exact moment I'm weighing up the price/object ratio, I'm out.
I know the one you're talking about and to me that's the least egregious of them all. It's contextual and thematic, even if it is just shit.
I've been looking over my daughters shoulder as she watches YouTube shorts, and a regular clip of brain rot will announc its using the greenscreen effect. Hidden behind all the username/soundtrack/description will be a teeny tiny brown man's head muttering punjab almost imperceptibly quietly.
Not sure if they're better or worse than the dickheads splitting the screen in two and passively pointing up towards the video that is also showing.
I was going for the community centre bundle. I was so close. I was waiting for one more duck feather. I play relaxed and sporadically so it took me til year 4 to even get to this point. Then my young son played on my profile and did joja.
My heart. She breaks.
Gonna go ahead and show my ignorance here, but why is this such a bad thing?
A lot of my Google searches end up being answered by reddit threads
I'm sure they'll be labelled inside too.
They're waiting for you, OP, in the test. Chamberrrr.
Nothing will ever beat the windows XP menu formats. They're ugly and dated now, but I can't imagine anything more efficient.
Edit : that said my favourite is grid for media. I'm having difficulty remembering names these days, and I can more easily spot what I'm looking for by remembering the rough colour/shape of the game icon. It's basically lost forever when they update it and the image changes.
I used to be able to count it down to the millisecond exactly when a strange chav would ask me for a cigarette.
"In 3...2...1..." "oi mate you got a spare fag I can borrow"
Disagreeing with my wife when she's about to do some dumb shit
In the last couple of years, seeing my toddler do new things. Any new things. Jumping, saying "cake", eating a new food, today it was making toys talk to each other.
Overall, coding things. I'm incredibly newbie but wannabe game dev. Learning to code as I go copying tutorials and trying to tweak things and mash different ones together until it does what I want. I would spend an entire evening getting frustrated and not understanding error codes and pulling my hair out because invalid syntax and shit. Then finally it would do what I wanted it to do and I could physically feel my brain light up with buzzy happy-chemicals, big grins and jumping round the room like a kid on Xmas.
Then I'd start on the next minijob and break the whole fucking thing...
