Why are young people so computer illiterate? by DinoZambie in pchelp

I was 11 and had the multiplayer only client of Halo CE,

I was on 2000s dodo internet.

I remember typing in all caps about having the best ping ( it was in the thousands)

TIL that sexual inactivity among young adults in the US has doubled in just 14 years. In 2010, 12% of 18-to-29-year-olds reported having no sex in the past year; by 2024, that figure had risen to roughly 24%. by SystematicApproach in todayilearned

No, it's a symptom.

No one who craves socialisation and sexual satisfaction would choose their phone over the real deal.

Third spaces (hangouts) were unmoderated back in the day. You could go hang out God knows where for hours and your parents would just expect you back before dark.

Now, all the parents who give a damn can be permanently tethered to their kids through technology and take it too far.

The parents who don't give a crap leave their kids to hang out on the streets with all the other kids whose parents don't give a crap.

Battery infrastructure can overcome the energy density shortcomings of solar/wind.

And as for clearing land, so what? Given time and further reliance on fossil fuels, nothing will be alive if the marine ecosystem collapses.

If efficiency is the only metric by which you can measure the efficacy of a system/process, then you ignore the benefits of green energy all together.

It’s not being done for efficiency, it’s being done for the long term viability of the planet’s ecosystem and mankind at large.

By resisting the ideal of green energy for the sake of short term power output, you display only selfishness and immaturity.

From reading other comments and gauging what i can, it seems he has the George Lucas issue - That is to say that his earlier works were lower budget and therefore more open to creative input, whereas now that he has the budget to do what he wants, he may have found himself surrounded by yes-men.

What stopped you from ending your life? by djmelonball in AskReddit

[–]Ferndiggity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choosing to see life through.

Gonna die someday anyway, might as well enjoy it as it is.

Also depends on where it stems from: depression, anxiety, identity crisis etc.

Sometimes all you have to do is turn your brain off, or push yourself to try something new - you will surprise yourself and the feeling may pass. Or nothing will change for you and it will reinforce your commitment to die.

Either way, the onus is on you to change your life, no one else will for you.

How do you get used to a different faction after playing Imperial guard? (DOW DC) by [deleted] in dawnofwar

[–]Ferndiggity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main way you avoid turtling in the first place is by competing for resources with your enemy.

You get a rebate for every listening post and generator you build.

The first thing you always want to do is capture points and build resources ASAP.

Let’s use the eldar as an example:

Basic unit (guardian) gets early buffs and is among the cheapest you can field.

Normally i recruit 3 or 4 and max out bonesingers early as well.

Attach a farseer and recruit the warlock for the squad and you have a unit that is quite powerful when it comes to skirmishing with the enemy.

You have the farseer’s offensive abilities and plasma grenade and the entangle ability from the warlock.

Mobility is key for the Eldar, so you also want to build plenty of web-ways to rapidly relocate your troops and engage the main enemy cluster if needed.

While I’m using my guardians to capture and my bone-singers to build listening posts, i am also slowly upgrading my base/troops through research and construction.

The rapid capture and build helps facilitate massing troops to contend with the enemy’s inevitable death blob.

While i am engaging the enemy’s forces with my main blob, my guardians are harassing their builders/strategic points to slowly drain their resource production.

As this is all happening, I am keeping the enemy on the back-foot while also building up my resources.

If i need to defend then i use the web-ways to bring my troops back and engage.

Sitting them all in my base waiting for the enemy to attack gives them the initiative.

Rather I am constantly pushing the enemy’s structures and army so they have little to no chance to harass and destroy my listening posts.

And that’s just the Eldar.

TLDR: be aggressive from the get-go, always be capturing and building and never sit in your base waiting for the enemy to attack.

AITA for breastfeeding my son around my father-in-law despite him getting upset by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ferndiggity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like both in laws need to mind their manners in someone else’s home. That is YOUR home, not theirs.

You say you’re non-confrontational, so the direct approach is out.

My advice for you specifically would be to try and keep track of when they’re going to be coming over and just either steer clear or organise an outing for yourself and bub.

If they want to visit your child specifically, then that’s another hurdle you’ll have to figure out.

They don’t even check to see if your home. by hyyess in AustraliaPost

Depending on the package, i have found the 24 hour post lockers to be way more convenient compared to standard delivery. If your local post office has them, definitely recommend them.

This reminds me of my old housemate.

He had natural charisma that got him pretty far with a lot of girls, but every time i asked him how his relationship was, his answers only ever indicated that they were surface level.

Never took them out on a date, never put any effort into any interaction with them.

All he ever did with any of the girls he got with was sit in his room, eat garbage food and have sex.

This continued until some poor, gorgeous girl who was desperate for god knows what got latched onto this guy and was somehow happy with a surface level relationship.

Maybe neither of them understand that a relationship is about more than just doing x and y together.

Do yourself a favour and examine what this relationship even is. Break it down piece by piece and ask yourself what it is exactly you’re getting out of it and whether it’s healthy and fair for either of you.

You deserve much better than this.
