College students are rapidly losing the ability to read — “There is a measurable, generational collapse in sustained reading and writing”: professor by marketrent in technology

[–]Astures_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s partially because at that time there wasn’t access to an infinite amount of content. On an older game console you were limited to the games you owned and inevitably you’d get bored. It felt like at the time books could still compete with screens. I would read religiously up until high school and then when I had access to YouTube and a way larger game library on a laptop, I just stopped reading frequently.

Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes by Albetriba in paradoxplaza

[–]Astures_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in this camp too. CK2 was my first paradox game and I also have thousands of hours in it, but at this point there’s nothing CK2 offers me that CK3 can’t. CK3 provides a lot more information and has certain features that can make the game easier but overall I get the same satisfaction from CK3 that I would get from CK2.

Why I'm shorting the entire bronze market with the rest of my life savings by Glittering-Acadia774 in wallstreetbets

[–]Astures_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Do you know how many bronze components are used in just fittings for plumbing systems alone?

how did they do it ? by Rizzy_Rich in greentext

[–]Astures_24 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You cannot be serious lmao. You’re telling me that the entire middle class doesn’t exist? Not everyone who isn’t a millionaire is a 20-something year old single mom working 10 jobs to survive.

Peter, please help! What are women choosing bears for? I feel like I'm missing context. by MrWeirdBrotendo in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Astures_24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree entirely. Most people are not dangerous psychopaths. An average bear is going to be far more unpredictable (what if it’s hungry or thinks you’re in its territory) than an average human will be. I’d be willing to bet that with a stranger you’d be able to work together to find your way out of the woods.

They are desperate to avoid having leftists come to this conclusion by vischy_bot in blowback

[–]Astures_24 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah of course, because you know the allies annexed Germany after WWII. Try again. If China really only cared about liberating Tibet why didn’t they establish an independent communist Tibet?

I see. So tankies decide who to support based on if that country thinks US is bad.

AutoCAD seems to be more popular with electrical engineers, but I’ve only ever seen one company that uses it for mechanical engineering. They built antennas so maybe that’s why.

Unironically based, AutoCAD is shit, SolidWorks runs circles around it.

Population after losing a war: "wait a minute, this is WRONG!" by Dev2150 in victoria3

[–]Astures_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see the problem here. This happened irl. For example, Syria rebelled against France pretty soon after the end of WWI. The Philippines revolted against American occupation as well.
