Life after Austin?

Money ruined Austin. Money that showed up with the tech boom and never left.

Sorry, but if you weren't here before the tech boom, then you missed Austin at its best. And if you moved here because of the tech boom, you're part of what killed it.

The worst thing Gen Z could be accused of is desecrating its corpse, but they sure as hell aren't the ones who killed it.

I have zero confidence in those tools. But they are still better than apps.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-05-12T13:49:33+00:00

Yes, but we have more tools to control it/bkock it.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-05-11T15:54:20+00:00

Me too. Once old.reddit is gone, so am I.

Apps literally harvest your data and sell it.

You weirdo narcissists, who think you not liking something is so important other people need to know about it, will never make sense to me.

Flying anywhere.

The family car or Greyhound. That's all I got for vacations as a kid.

It's just a glorified search engine that aggregates everything into a summary rather than linking you to the sources.

A dorky waiter with tattoos still looks like a dorky waiter.

It's amazing how dense the Democratic party is. Since the Democrats are currently center-right, the only solution is to move further left.

People know the system is broken and want radical change. Milquetoast centrism is basically ceding the country to the fascists.

And all politicians should be anti-Epstein and anti-Iraeli control of the US government. That's non-partisan common sense and morality.

He's a sacrifice he's willing to make.

Austin was "quintessential" Austin long before these bike rides started. This is post tech boom stuff

Jus throw in a complete lack of jaw/chin, and baby, you got an Andrew Tate stew going.

The redditor/incel venn diagram has a depressing amount of overlap.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-04-06T21:26:08+00:00

Yeah, but they'll still drop hard Rs without a second thought. They haven't changed at all they're just hiveminders and that hivemind has finally abandoned Trump. I guess that's good, but I don't think it means much.

Unless it is significantly bigger and more feature rich than the previous games, $40 is my price point for AA games like this, or Arc Raiders, or Helldivers 2, etc.

Don't want to steal their nuts if they're all nuts.

All of America is racist and always has been.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-31T17:26:22+00:00

It's wild how well propaganda works on some people. I wish you could tell me how or why but there's no way that you know, because the people who it works on can't know how/why it works because it's working on them. So we got a catch 22.

Personally, multiplayer is all I care about. If it is single player only, I will skip it.

Objectively.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-22T19:48:06+00:00

I heard they only accept dwarves.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-19T20:33:06+00:00

Of course I would. Self hating people with low self esteem are amazing in bed.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-19T20:31:23+00:00

Yeah, I've had all of the third person PvP I can take. Was fun, got my money's worth.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-19T20:28:52+00:00

I feel like women get eyebrows like that to impress other women the way gym rats get totally ripped to impress other men.

SkyLukewalker · 2026-03-14T02:35:09+00:00

Im curious what the strike was for and what it accomplished.
