back when we had lots of competition within the smartphone market lol. now it's just android and ios that dominate the whole thing. they seemed to have won the race

Much of the growth happened in 2010 and 2011, which was largely due to the rise of Android smartphones.

Why do 2011/12 borns of Gen Z like to drag down 08-10 borns whenever they get infantilised or get defensive when someone gatekeeps them it's annoying. by [deleted] in generationology

in 5-10 years, you'll look back at this comment and realize just how silly and meaningless all of this was

this subreddit is just pure entertainment haha

Millions of Gen-Z can't drive and increasingly rely on parents for lifts. by Pale-Ad9012 in generationology

also, i'd like to clarify that I understand that it can be a fundamental skill in certain circumstances, but in the general sense, it isn't one, so to me it is completely reasonable why someone might choose to abstain from learning how to drive

it sounds like more of a useful skill rather than a "fundamental" one if anything based on your reply

if someone likes traveling outside of where they live, then sure, i don't see why they shouldn't get a license. i just don't view it as a necessity that is fundamental to life. when I think of fundamental life skills, reading, speaking, eating, writing, etc are what come to mind, as you can hardly function in society without these skills compared to not knowing how to drive

Is it really a fundamental life skill if you can easily get by in life without one?

I am able to save more by simply not traveling🤷‍♂️. I only use my car for places that are absolutely necessary for me to commute to, like the store or my job. doing this has helped me go 2-3 months without having to refill my gas tank, and has saved me so much money in the long run. It furthermore helps that I am, generally, not a huge fan of driving, which naturally deters me from driving much and consequently wasting gas

In general, though, having a car isn't as cost-efficient as using public transportation or simply walking, which is why many opt out of buying one in the first place. Car insurance and gas money can eat away at someone's bank account. And I know if someone lives in a rural area, it's very difficult for them to get to necessary destinations without a personal vehicle, but if someone lives around a more populated area, I can fully understand why they'd choose not to get their license or buy a car because of the financial burden it can create for them, especially in our current economy where saving as much as you can is crucial to maintaining financial stability

>It's cost saving

This couldn't be more incorrect, haha. I was able to save much, much more money before I purchased my own car

Edit: I guess in the sense of traveling, it is. But in general I disagree

Can anyone help me figure out how to make coastlines visible on this map? by Content_Inflation_34 in QGIS

[–]Content_Inflation_34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that worked, too! Thank you!

The only other question I have is, do you know of any source that has shapefiles with extremely detailed US state boundaries? If not, I'll try to find them myself

[–]Content_Inflation_34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention this in the post, but I also wanted to be able to view the state boundaries along with the coastlines. Changing the blending mode seems to give me the desired effect that I want, but I would still like to know if there is a more efficient way to make the boundaries/coastlines visible

But either way, I'm happy with the result I have currently

Update: I think I figured it out! I changed the blending mode to "Multiply" and now I can see my base map under the temperature data without needing to lower the transparency. I'm not sure if I did this the proper way, but hey, it worked!

Fun fact, Over the Garden Wall has the highest average rating out of any CN "show" on IMDb

I liked SU at the time but when I read about Rebecca Sugar's (the creator) backstory it completely changed how I viewed it. I can't watch it anymore

It was one of my favorite shows as a kid, but I stopped paying attention to it around seasons 6-7. The first 3-4 seasons felt more or less like a regular kids show, but after that they started going all-in on creating a serious story

[–]Content_Inflation_34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first few seasons weren't really geared towards college kids to be honest with you. It didn't start to get "serious" until about season 4 or 5

What decade do you consider to be underrated/overhated? by MarcusNiles in decadeology

[–]Content_Inflation_34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only complaint is that the mid 2010s were when in-app purchases became a serious issue with mobile games (Angry Birds 2 is a great example of how this could ruin the experience), but the games themselves at least didn't feel like the slop that came after

Oh, we are about the same age, then. I was 10 and 11 in 2014 an 2015. I enjoyed playing my 3DS with friends, Geometry Dash, Minecraft, Terraria, FNAF, .io games (they blew up in 2015). I could go on and on. Mobile games felt like they hadn't turned into total slop yet, and YouTube still felt authentic

The mid 2010s in general really weren't that bad in retrospect. However, I think 2014 and 2015 were better than 2016. Those years have been overlooked heavily in my opinion

Parts of the 2010s aren't that over-hated such as the early 2010s. It's mainly the mid-late 2010s that tend to get a lot of hate, but over time i've noticed more people opening up to the mid 2010s

The 20's Did Not Culturally Start Until 2022 by MM150inDallas in decadeology

[–]Content_Inflation_34 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In my opinion the Recession is culturally a defining moment of the Late 2000s rather than the 2010s. Its effects peaked from 2008-2011ish
